The Hum and the Silence Vols 9-10: Argentinian Sightings, More Hostile UFOs and a Small Flap in Canada

The Hum and the Silence Vols 9-10: Argentinian Sightings, More Hostile UFOs and a Small Flap in Canada

Author: Rob Kristoffersen July 20, 2024 Duration: 1:02:28
Greetings patrons! I apologize for taking so long with these bonus episodes, but they are here in one combined episode.

In Volume 9, we take a look at Argentinian sightings leading up to the Trancas Incident (which we covered in episode 99 with Stephanie Quick), including the sighting of a man who was burned by a UFO and a hotel that was destroyed under mysterious circumstances. 

As a follow up to episode 100, I present more hostile UFO encounters, including the infamous 1946 encounter of João Prestes Filho, which allegedly lead to his death, and the story of a French baker who was attacked by a UFO occupant.

In Volume 10, I present the infamous Cowichan District Hospital close encounter witnessed by Doreen Kendall, which led investigators to a series of sightings on Vancouver Island leading up to it. I also explore an interesting archetype that keeps popping up in my research.

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.
