Michael Allen
Paranormal Adept
Introduction and Comments
In the beginning I listened to this podcast from time to time, mostly due to the keyword matches for heavy hitters as Richard Dolan, Stanton Friedman, Jacques Vallée and the other serious researchers--I am an admirer of J. Allen Hynek and Richard Hall.
How I became interested in UFOlogy...
A few years ago my best friend related to me a string of experiences ("non-sequiturs" as he was fond of calling them) that could be described as paranormal; and to the my incredulity he interpreted them as alien beings from another planet. I (like many during the time) had no idea concerning the depth and scope of the existing body of data and first-hand/second hand reports in the field of ufology and dismissed his experience as a psychological aberration.
My friend, as a result of his experiences, amassed a huge collection of UFO books, reports, documents, etc. Each day he would introduce me to another author or documentary.
After a few months the sheer volume of information pointing toward the legitimacy of this subject was overwhelming (both in the sense of the magnitude of its implications as well as the amazing efforts of those few serious researchers).
I suppose this will suffice as a quick introduction of my views regarding the individuals (often referred to as "personalities") and guests on this show.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the hosts Gene and David for their due diligence, and scrutiny afforded to the guests--as well as the other guest hosts who have joined in the spirit of the effort since David has left.
