The Jeff and The Jer riff on, amongst other things, an exchange Jeff had with Jerome Clark recently, as well as the forthcoming Jacques Vallee book, Wonders In The Sky. In honor of Jacques' return to form, we dismantle the extraterrestrial hypothesis and dare to ask whose work better represents to the mainstream media a portrait of the UFO situation: Jacques Vallee or Lesley Kean and Rich Dolan?

Paratopia 084: Lee Townsend
Friday Apr 07, 2023
Friday Apr 07, 2023
Jeff Ritzmann interviews his old research partner, whom we have heard so much about, Lee Townsend. This is an absolutely fascinating conversation and confirmation of some of the shared experiences Jeff has talked about involving Lee. More than that, it's a conversation about Whitley Strieber's proposition that alien abduction phenomena might be what the face of evolution looks like to us. Lee is that rare breed of person who gets it. Not only that, he articulates the depth of Mystery so well that this is another cannot-miss episode!
