The End Notes, Volume 2: Rambling with John Tenney

John Tenney stops by the pod, and we ramble about the sanity of experiencers, how easy it is to feed your delusion on magical thinking, manifestation and doing magic for others instead of yourself, the contactees, the UFO grifters of past and present, and much more! The Aura Rhanes tweet Close Encounter at Kelly and Others of 1955 by Isabel Davis and Ted Bloecher 

What's up, Patrons. I sat down with my buddy, Spencer Wirth-Davis (The What If? Podcast) to talk about David Grusch's appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience. From one man's martyrdom, to a talk about muscle cars and A.I., episode 2065 of the JRE will leave you annoyed as hell and wondering what you just listened to. Don't worry, Spencer and I have got you. From talks about alien life, to talks about muscle cars, orangutans using sticks and AI, this conversation leaves no stone unturned, dives into the "white wing" of ufology, and goes places you don't even see coming.

On this installment of OSS After Dark that is definitely NSFW, Jeff and I bring you the story of one woman's fling with a smelly alien, Claude (who would go on to found the Raelien movement) proudly showing off his baguette to anyone he could, an alien matchmaker that looked like Mega Man, and the story of Rob Krisohperson, who's sexual encounter could best be described as a "mat classic."

WARNING: Though this episode is hilariously dumb, it it most definitely NSFW Look, y'all voted for this, so you have nobody to blame but yourselves. In the first, and what I hope is the only volume of this series, we bring you three stories, about people having sex with aliens. In the first story, Susan meets a reptilian alien named Quetyl whom she falls deeply in love with only to have things end tragically.  In the second, truck driver Alvin Guerra finds himself taken on board a UFO by a group of alien women. Before long, they "reward" him with sex. And our third story is about a housewife angry and wronged by a group of aliens who had an orgy with her husband.

“This earth is now under close surveillance and profound scrutiny by alien intelligence from distant star systems. I am NOT being silly. I know what I am saying and doing as well as you.” Norman Harrison, 1977 In the early 1970s Norman Harrison started to receive messages from extraterrestrials about such things as... earth's destruction. Were these messages the product of genuine contact, or the result of one man's struggles with life?

Look, is this project a mistake? Probably, but I will attempt to dethrone Sufjan Stevens and make this 50 states thing work!

What's up, patrons! So, I ended up getting Covid, which delayed this episode by a week, and I proudly made it through most of this episode... before coughing (don't worry I edited them all out... I think). On this installment, a Pennine Mystery Addendum, Part 2, so to speak, we look at the experiences of Paul Bennett, one of the investigators of the Alan Godfrey abduction. His story has it all folks, including giant robots, Predator-like "invisible walkers," UFOs and short shadow figures. Also, J Allen Hynek leaves a review of the podcast (didn't see that coming, did ya?)
