We know the show notes from some of our older episodes are ugly and hard to read, so we are moving them to this site. It will take a while, but we think you’ll like the results. The links on our episode and conversation sheets will be updated as this proceeds.

Episode 13 – Rotating Rings, Large Dark Objects, and Strange Lights in the Neighborhood!
Released: 15 July 2018
Duration: 1 hour, 41 seconds
Host and Producer Marsha Barnhart welcomes API investigators Paul Carr and Savannah Dollison. The three cover a few of their recent investigations in-depth during a round-table discussion. They examine sightings in New Jersey, New York, Utah and Georgia, which covered the gamut from overhead “fly-by’s” to unnerving close encounters!
What do photos and videos of Unidentified Aerial Objects add to the tangibility of “evidence” within the UFO research field? In fact, what IS “evidence” and what IS “proof”? Paul looks at these issues in episode 10 of his Unidentified Science series.
erratum: API is no longer using the “director” e-mail address. instead use “UFO”, or send via encrypted protonmail.com using the address “Reportaufo”.

Conversation 8 – Cheryl Costa, part 1

Marsha Barnhart talks to Cheryl Costa, co-author of UFO Sightings Desk Reference. This is a one-of-a-kind reference book covering 15 years of UFO sightings within the United States. The information was gleaned from more than 120,000 raw reports made by citizens to either the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) or the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) between the years 2001 to 2015. The information is a statistical bonanza annotating the frequency, distribution and shapes of reported UFO’s, with accompanying graphs charts and charts, and broken down into states and state counties for all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
