UFOs

EPISODE #219: THE OLD, WEIRD AMERICA

, , , ,

On this Easter weekend, let’s do our best to bring back the ghosts, the supernatural. Let us recognize and respect the mysterious entities that come not from some imagined, distant star system in the cold lifeless vacuum of space, but from right here where we experience them: backroads, mountains, spooky desert trails at dusk. Jesus loved wilderness and often talked to ghosts, after all. And that’s something people of any philosophy can enjoy.

This is EPISODE #219: THE OLD, WEIRD AMERICA.

EPISODE #195: THE WAXING MOON: UFOs & THEIR PENTAGON PROPAGANDISTS

, ,

The United States military branches and intelligence agencies do not control what happens around the world all the time, much as they’d like to. Now is the time for EPISODE #195: THE WAXING MOON.

The things we call UFOs occur in the backwoods and on backroads, over the lonely desert playas and mountain lakes, eternally floating around the sacred springs and sacred groves and sacred mountains of every culture and continent, for as long as human beings have existed. If you want to see something supernatural, go somewhere quiet, put down your camera-phone, take out your earbuds, and tune in. ALSO: Some trouble with lemurs down in old San Antone, and the wonders of an 86% full moon on an August night in a high-desert small town.

EPISODE #182: THE ECSTASY OF ST. MINERVA

, , ,

(PS — If you downloaded the episode Friday afternoon, it was the wrong one! Please re-download, or however you say that.)

Apologies if you hear the wind whipping around on the roof of this little radio shack out here tonight. There’s some strip of metal the previous owners tacked down to cover a weak spot in the roof, and it’s slapping around the swamp cooler. And until your host robs a bank, well it’s going to stay that way because that’s the only way to get the ten grand the roofing company wants. It’s all right. It’ll dry up, over time.

This is EPISODE #182: THE ECSTASY OF ST. MINERVA, regarding awe & mystery in the holy wilderness. Whatever that means. Thanks for supporting this program via Patreon.com/DesertOracle.

EPISODE #177: THE HAUNTED MOUNTAINS

, , ,

Never get out of the car.

Four decades ago, Betty and Barney Hill were driving back from a visit to Niagara Falls when they endured a strange assault in the deeply haunted White Mountains. Ever since their strange story went national in the mid-1960s, we all know the scene: a dark night on a lonesome highway, and something comes out of the sky, or out of the woods, and then it all becomes very hazy.

This is EPISODE #177: THE HAUNTED MOUNTAINS. Soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver, written & hosted by Ken Layne, and broadcasting tonight at 10 in Joshua Tree on KCDZ 107.7 FM, and Saturdays at 9 p.m. on KZMU 90.1 FM & 106.7 FM in Moab, Utah.

EPISODE #172: THE LIBRARY OF DESERT SECRETS

, , ,

What sort of religious nut was John Muir? What was the mystical and spiritual argument for the creation of America’s national parks system? Who planted the tall tales that would become global UFO mythology? And why did the cold voice of recorded robots tell Desert Oracle Radio to immediately leave the Los Angeles Central Library, last night?

It’s Episode #172 of Desert Oracle Radio, part of our final live-on-stage show, with RedBlueBlackSilver and Ken Layne. Thanks for supporting this program via Patreon.com/DesertOracle, where we’ll be posting the full hourlong show.

EPISODE #166: DEATH VALLEY’S THOUSAND-YEAR FLOOD

It sure has been a wild week or two, especially here in the Mojave. Just a few days after massive flash floods washed out a number of roads within Mojave National Preserve — the completely washed-out Baker-Kelso road in particular — Death Valley got it hard. Weather chaos, monsoon deluges, UFOs and the supernatural world of science, all on tonight’s new episode of Desert Oracle Radio, hosted by Ken Layne & with new soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver.
