On the Show — Chris Aubeck

[Gene Steinberg]

Chris Aubeck was born in London. His interest in the historical and sociological aspects of unexplained aerial phenomena began at an early age. He moved to Spain aged 19 and after teaching in Cáceres and Madrid for 24 years now lives in Granada. A student of language and folklore, he has helped compile the largest collection of pre-1947 UFO cases in the world. He has spoken on his research in many articles and on public radio. In 2008 he was awarded a prize for his contributions to the field by the Spanish organization Fundación Anomalía.

In 2003 Chris Aubeck co-founded a remarkable collaborative network of librarians, students and scholars of paranormal history on the Internet. This group, known as the Magonia Project, extends from North and Central America to Russia and Germany. It has accumulated thousands of references, searched media archives in several languages, and gathered hundreds of rare documents, scientific reports, and newspaper clippings from the last 400 years.

Books: "Saucers: Tracing the Origins of Disc-Shaped UFOs," "Alien Artifacts: The Forgotten Story of How We Came to Believe in Visitors from the Stars," "Wonders in the Sky: Unexplained Aerial Objects from Antiquity to Modern Times," along with Jacques Vallee, "OOPARTs (2015), Señales" (2018), "Viajes Inexplicables" (2018).

Would someone please ask Chris if there has been noticed an uptick of aerial anomalous sightings anywhere globally since the onset of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and as recent as the Israeli, Palestinian conflict?

As an unbiased researcher is there a direction in which his research is leading in perhaps partially answering any questions asked?

Any surprising answers?

 

[Gene Steinberg]

Asked and answered.

That was an interesting question from SRL. I look forward to hearing the answer.

Gene it's really good to see new people in the forum.
When the Paracast first started with you and David you could come to the forums at any time of the day and debate with someone.

These days they hang out on X, Facebook, TIkTok, etc. It's unfortunate because, despite the much larger audiences, engagement is not as easy.

Yea I know.
I think it's because I'm getting old that I'm yearning for the past.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

Old things can be good too.

Old things can be good too.

Yes they can

This is a terrific episode that will set our listeners straight about the history of flying saucers and ancient artifacts.

Many thanks for shelving any potential turkeys this Thanksgiving weekend.

I thought it was an entertaining show with a lot of good points. Interesting story about Kenneth Arnold and Ray Palmer.

Interesting story about Kenneth Arnold and Ray Palmer.

Fascinating, the way in which many of Ufology's narratives are interrelated, (Six degrees of separation - Wikipedia) .

Here and elsewhere there have been musings of what the future holds for Ufology, whereas Chis is of the opinion that E.T. will eventually be replaced by a form of AI, i.e., non-organic.

It looks like Aubeck is correct in suggesting that UFO sightings will climb with the onset of wars.

UFO sightings growing across the U.S., lawmakers demand more info

Sightings of UFOs, also known as unidentified aerial phenomenon, are growing across the U.S.
