My special guest is author and researcher Charles Lear who's here to discuss his book Crashed Saucers and Malevolent Aliens: The Emergence of the Popular Modern UFO Mythos in the Late 20th Century. Pick it up now from Amazon.
How did aliens go from being our tall blonde space brothers and sisters (as well as hairy dwarves, goblins, elephant-skinned robots, and all manner of humanoid creatures) to being short, grey, bug-eyed creatures from Zeta Reticuli abducting us and working to replace us with hybrids? How did a forgotten story about a flying saucer being recovered by the Army Air Forces in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947 turn into the biggest UFO story in the late 20th century? This book looks at the beginnings of the popular UFO narrative and its evolution up to the present day, helped along by a disinformation agent seemingly gone rogue, U.S. military and intelligence insiders under the influence of esoteric new-age belief systems being promoted in those circles, and UFO “experts” who ranged from well-meaning investigators to outright hucksters looking to make a buck at the expense of witnesses who might have experienced something strange and profound.

James Charles Lear
Charles Lear has been writing about UFOs for several years and still finds the subject, and the stories of the people involved, fascinating. Besides his interest in all things fortean, his pursuits include paleontology, geology, hiking, bad movies, and music. He has been a theatre person for most of his life. As a performer, he sticks to Shakespeare, and he makes his living as an I.A.T.S.E. Local One welder/carpenter in the construction shop of the Metropolitan Opera. His first saucer book was “The Flying Saucer Investigators,” and he’s just published his second, titled “Crashed Saucers and Malevolent Aliens.”
