Transcript of this Conversation

Paul Carr in conversation with host and producer of Podcast UFO, Martin Willis.

About our Guest, Martin Willis:
The subject of UFOs has fascinated Martin since his youth, yet he was on the fence about the subject. He experienced a sighting in 2006 in Carmel Valley, CA, that solidified his beliefs that UFOs really do exist. Since this time, Martin has paid attention to what others have to say about the phenomenon with an open mind. Pondering what UFOs may be, or if they are possibly extraterrestrial helped spark his interest to another level. In the last number of years, Martin has become interested in astronomy and always maintained a strong scientific fascination of our vast universe. 

 Martin feels certain that we are not alone and thinks it is possible that some small part of our government knows that and keeps it from us. As an armchair UFOlogist, Martin created Podcast UFO in November, 2011. Martin’s mission is to provide a place where anyone could interact and be heard who had a UFO experience or insight on the subject. Martin is an artist as well as a longtime antique & fine art appraiser.

1972 UFO Photographs?

  By Photos

Update (3 November 2025):

Per Jeff Knox, these photos have been attributed to Lee Elder of Mesa, Arizona. They have been identified s a tethered balloon.

We received these three photographs in 2013 via e-mail. Unfortunately, we were not able to establish a chain of custody, but we are told they are from 1972. If these look familiar to you, please contact us and perhaps we can nail down the source. We have seen similar photographs before, so we are not ready to jump to any conclusions about what they are.

Questions for Jack Brewer?

  By Podcast

Jack is a blogger at UFOTrail and author of the book The Greys have Been Framed.  We’re going to talk about the current situation in the UFO field, as well as possibly the issues surrounding “enhanced interrogation” going back to CIA experiments of the 1950s (which Jack covered in his book).

If you have questions, or comments on Jack’s blog or book, please use our contact form to send them to us. Time is short.
