The Hum and the Silence, Vol 12: The 1965 Supplementary Material

Author: Rob Kristoffersen July 20, 2024 Duration: 1:17:09
Hello Patrons! Here is the first of three volumes of supplementary material from the 65-67 series!

There were a number of trends from this year that stood out, that we didn't really get a chance to cover on the main show. There were multiple events where a car would be lifted up into the air and communication would occur. South America was the location of a number of contactee like cases, but also cases in which "little people" would present witnesses with pieces of metal. This was also the year of the Valensole Affair, one of France's most important UFO cases of all time, and even Antarctica saw UFO activity around this time!

There's a long, winding story written across our collective past that doesn't always make it into the official records. Our Strange Skies: UFOs Throughout History follows that thread, tracing the phenomenon from ancient accounts to modern-day encounters. Host Rob Kristoffersen approaches these tales not just as mysteries, but as integral parts of our cultural and historical fabric, examining how they reflect the anxieties and imaginations of their times. Each episode focuses on a specific case, era, or theme, blending documented reports with the broader lore that has grown around them. You'll hear detailed breakdowns of famous sightings, deep dives into lesser-known incidents, and thoughtful discussions on topics ranging from reported abductions to the cryptic creatures often associated with these skies. Rob's conversations with a rotating cast of researchers, historians, and fellow experts add layers of context, ensuring the narrative is grounded even when the subject matter is decidedly ungrounded. This isn't about sensationalism; it's a careful, curious exploration of why these stories persist and what they tell us about ourselves. Tune into this podcast for a thoughtful journey through the archives of the unexplained, where history meets mystery head-on.
