Ep.27 The Kearney Encounter
07/29/2025

In 1957, before UFO abductions became headline news, Reinhold Schmidt, a grain buyer from Nebraska, claimed he was taken aboard a glowing, oval-shaped craft outside his hometown. His car stalled, and he encountered tall, human-like beings who spoke fluent German and invited him into their ship. For thirty minutes, he saw an otherworldly interior and heard their cryptic purpose: observing humanity. In this episode of Brief Encounters, we dive into Schmidt’s vivid, unwavering account, the wave of 1957 UFO sightings, and why his story, though overshadowed, remains a cornerstone of UFO lore.

In November 1957, the quiet farming town of Levelland, Texas, became the epicentre of one of the most baffling waves of UFO activity ever recorded.

Ep.25 The Flatwoods Monster
07/22/2025

September 12, 1952. A quiet evening in the small town of Flatwoods, West Virginia, was shattered by a flash in the sky followed by one of the most eerie close encounters in American UFO lore. In this episode of Brief Encounters, we retrace the footsteps of a group of frightened children, a local mother, and a National Guardsman who claimed to come face to face with something not of this world. What they described defied logic: glowing eyes, a metallic dress, claw-like hands, and a floating motion that suggested it wasn't walking, but gliding. Was it a government experiment gone wrong, a...

Ep.21 Roswell: The Incident That Changed Everything
07/08/2025

In July 1947 a mysterious object crashed on a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico sparking the infamous Roswell Incident. Initially reported as a flying saucer by the U.S. Army the debris of metallic fragments and strange materials was quickly reclassified as a weather balloon, fueling suspicions of a government cover-up. Locals claimed sightings of unusual craft and even alien bodies, though official reports dismissed these as misinformation. Decades later declassified documents tied the crash to Project Mogul, a secret Cold War surveillance program, but conspiracy theories persist linking the event to extraterrestrials and Area 51. We explore the fact's eyewitness accounts...


Ep.341 The M/V Pothiti Incident

Aboard the merchant vessel M/V Pothiti in the autumn of 1978, Spentzos and his crew witnessed a large glowing cloud-wrapped object and two smaller orbs hovering above the Atlantic, followed by an even stranger phenomenon where time itself began to unravel. Mechanical clocks spun out of control, quartz watches lagged, communication systems failed, and the crew's bodies slowed as if trapped in a gravitational field. In this rare and deeply technical testimony, S...

In June 1947, a private pilot named Kenneth Arnold took off from Chehalis, Washington, on what should have been a routine search flight. He was looking for a downed aircraft near Mount Rainier, nothing unusual, just another day in the sky, the weather was clear, visibility was perfect. But what he saw that day would change the language we use to describe the unexplained forever. Nine objects flying in formation at incredible speed, shiny, crescent-shaped, and moving like stones skipping across water.

Ep.19 The Ängelholm UFO Landing 1946
07/01/2025

In the summer of 1946, the skies over Scandinavia were alive with unexplained activity. Strange lights and cigar-shaped objects had been seen darting across the sky, often moving too fast and too precisely to be dismissed as meteors. They came without sound, left no debris, and vanished before they could be traced.
But in the Swedish town of Ängelholm, just as that wave of sightings was peaking, something else happened, something far more direct.
A man claimed he didn't just see a strange object flying overhead. He said it landed. He said he approached i...


Ep.340 The Silent Machine
06/29/2025

When Adrius stepped outside into the quiet night air, he wasn’t expecting to see anything unusual. But there it was, hovering above the treetops. A large, matte black craft. It didn’t move. It didn’t make a sound. Its surface was smooth with brushed metal ridges, and on either side, two red lights glowed, stacked vertically like signals. Adrius had seen other things in the sky before. In London, three glowing orbs drifted through moonlit clouds that moved in unnatural patterns. A colleague later confirmed the same sighting. A few months after that, during lockdown, a craft appeared above...

The war is over. It's 1946. Peace hasn't fully settled over Europe. In the skies over Sweden, Norway, and Finland, a new mystery emerges: dozens, hundreds, of rocket-like objects streak through the air. No known nation claims responsibility.

06/17/2025

In the remote redwood forests of Northern California, something strange stirred in the night sky. In 1926, long before the modern UFO era began, residents of Humboldt County reported glowing orbs drifting through the trees, following logging trucks, and vanishing without a trace. With no aircraft capable of such feats at the time, the lights defied every explanation.
