Anyway, if you are on Twitter regularly, please follow us, and we’ll very likely follow back. We tweet all the content from this website as it appears, so you can use it as an alert system.

Host Marsha Barnhart welcomes Alexander Wendt of Ohio State University to talk about Sovereignty and UFOs.
Dr. Wendt is Professor of Political Science at the Ohio State University. He received his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota in 1989, and taught at Yale University, Dartmouth College, and then the University of Chicago before coming to Ohio State in 2004. His research in political science focuses on philosophical aspects of world politics, and he is well known in his field for his book, Social Theory of International Politics (Cambridge University Press, 1999), which won the International Studies
Association’s award for ‘Best Book of the Decade’ in 2006. He also wrote, in 2008, a provocative paper entitled Sovereignty and the UFO with Dr. Raymond Duvall in the peer reviewed academic journal, Political Theory. Dr. Wendt recently published his latest book, Quantum Mind and Social

Marsha Barnhart talks to Dr. Mark Rodeghier, President and Scientific Director of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies. The Center was founded originally by Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who was a professor of astronomy at The Ohio State University, and later, chairman of the astronomy department at Northwestern University near Chicago, where the Center for UFO Studies is based. It is a privately funded UFO research group.
Dr. Rodeghier—who holds a BS in astrophysics from Indiana University and an M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Illinois at Chicago—has headed the Center since 1986. He was a colleague of Dr. Hynek’s and shares the same passion for approaching the UFO/UAP phenomenon from a scientific point-of-view. His work at the Center for UFO Studies dovetails perfectly into his position as science director with the UFODATA Project, which is the subject of this episode.
