The Story of June Crain: An Atomic Age UFO Whistleblower

Season 1, Ep. 399

On episode 399, we speak with military veteran, retired police detective, and UFO investigator, James Clarkson. After lecturing about government secrecy pertaining to UFOs, an elderly woman approached him and told him that she agreed that the government wasn't sharing with the public all they knew about UFOs. Upon asking her how she knew, Clarkson was intrigued by her answer; "Because I worked there." This is the story of June Crain, the USAF, and UFOs. Clarkson runs us through some of the more compelling aspects of both June Crain's life and her handling of possible materials from the Roswell UFO incident.

  • 420. Project Pentacle: A Top Secret UFO Program Running Parallel with Project Blue Book?

    01:26:29||Season 1, Ep. 420
    Tucked snuggly into the original Project Blue Book files was a two-page memo that easily could have been lost to time. However, in 1967, noted astronomer and computer scientist, Jacques Vallée, was helping organize the overwhelming amount of backlogged files of Dr. J. Allen Hynek. That's when Vallée discovered a letter amongst the files that both fascinated and shocked him. It was stamped in red ink ‘SECRET – Security Information.’ and signed by a man Vallée would refer to only as "Pentacle." Was a secret UFO study running parallel to Project Blue Book and were those involved actually monitoring UFO events in real-time? Even more mysterious, was this secret group simulating planned UFO events as well? We are joined by Micah Hanks of The Debrief to break down the highly intriguing Pentacle Memorandum from a historical context and its possible connections to modern day UFO programs.
