The Little Book of Aliens (w/ Adam Frank)

Season 1, Ep. 340

On episode 340, we are joined by astrophysicist and astronomer, Adam Frank. Frank is a leading expert on the final stages of evolution for stars and his computational research group at the University of Rochester has developed advanced supercomputer tools for studying how stars form and die. Today, Frank discusses his latest book, The Little Book of Aliens, which poses and attempts to answer many questions on the possibilities of alien life, how and where it may exist, how it can search for us and how we can search for it. And perhaps most excitedly: how close are we to finally making contact? Or have we already?

  • 380. The Brooklyn Bridge Alien Abduction

    54:41||Season 1, Ep. 380
    On episode 380, we revisit a past episode and interview that tackles a highly controversial case. With the recent release of a 3-part Netflix series titled, The Manhattan Alien Abduction, we look back at the Brooklyn Bridge alien abduction case of Linda Napolitano, investigated by the late abduction researcher, Budd Hopkins. In November of 1989, Napolitano was seen emerging from an apartment building window twelve stories above the ground accompanied by three small alien figures. She was then lifted into a craft which then moved off in the direction of the Brooklyn Bridge. Twists and turns in the case have made it a highly debated event for many decades. To further that debate, Ryan invited Peter Robbins to the show. Robbins is a UFO researcher, author, and former assistant to Budd Hopkins. Robbins runs us through his personal experiences with both Hopkins and Napolitano, and sheds light on this dark and disturbing case like never before.Read "Witnessed: The True Story of the Brooklyn Bridge UFO Abductions: https://a.co/d/dMEkE10Follow Peter Robbins on Twitter: https://x.com/PeterRobbinsUFOPatreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesByMeACoffee: buymeacoffee.com/UFxzyzHOaQPayPal: Sprague51@hotmail.comWebsite: www.somewhereintheskies.comStore: http://tee.pub/lic/ULZAy7IY12UYouTube Channel: CLICK HERETwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/somewhereskies/videosOrder Ryan’s new book: https://a.co/d/4KNQnM4Order Ryan’s older book: https://amzn.to/3PmydYCTwitter: @SomewhereSkiesRead Ryan’s Articles by CLICKING HEREOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteProduced by LIONSGATECopyright © 2024.

    Ryan shares another listener ghost story from Angela to ring in the Halloween season. He then speaks with investigative filmmaker, Josh Zeman. Zeman first discusses his film, "Cropsey", a boogeyman-like figure from New York City urban legend, before segueing into the story of one Andre Rand, a convicted child kidnapper from Staten Island. Zeman journies into the underbelly as more information and clues unravel. The reality he uncovers is more terrifying than any urban legend.Zeman then transitions into a television special he created titled, "Killer Legends", in which he investigates four other deeply disturbing urban legends throughout the country and questions which came first, the urban legend or the real events? What power does storytelling have over us when it comes to reality and fantasy? Do we create the monsters in these legends? Or do they create us? It's a fascinating discussion and the perfect way to count the final days until Halloween.Follow Josh Zeman: https://x.com/joshzemanPatreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesByMeACoffee: buymeacoffee.com/UFxzyzHOaQPayPal: Sprague51@hotmail.comWebsite: www.somewhereintheskies.comStore: http://tee.pub/lic/ULZAy7IY12UYouTube Channel: CLICK HERETwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/somewhereskies/videosOrder Ryan’s new book: https://a.co/d/4KNQnM4Order Ryan’s older book: https://amzn.to/3PmydYCTwitter: @SomewhereSkiesRead Ryan’s Articles by CLICKING HEREOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteProduced by LIONSGATECopyright © 2024.
