9. The Return - Guest Blake Smith
A peak at the Big Ear telescope makes a researcher scribble WOW! on a printout. A big firefight lasts for hours in Los Angeles, but are the targets really from this earth? A farmer finds debris on his land, according to some this is the start of the largest coverup in US history.
Our host Fredrik continues the mission to discover what is genuine, fake, and somewhere in between on the TV-show Ancient Aliens. This week we will finish season one of the show, so it’s season finale time. Due to this occasion I did invite a very special guest to be on the show.
Blake Smith is the host of Monstertalk, In reSearch Of and active in many other amazing projects. He is an accomplished writer and researcher and has been published in Fortean Times, Weird Tales, Skeptic Magazine and Skeptical Inquirer.
Usually he tends to be in the realm of monsters and ghosts but his knowledge about modern ufology is not to be underestimated.
