Central Casting Saucer Spotted Outside Louisville; a Colorado Campout Overhead Light Show; and a Terrifying Idaho Orb Encounter

Several really good cases to cover in this episode! A mother and daughter saw a right-out-of-central-casting flying saucer maneuvering over them in the early evening of December 11, 2020. They were in a large urban area just outside Louisville. And we hear from a Colorado camper who got more than he bargained for under the stars the night of May 13, 2021: a mass of seemingly connected white lights cavorting in the sky for several hours as he and a companion took in the spectacle. A Witness in Caldwell, Idaho on May 17, 2021 recorded an orb flying along that seemingly changed directions to fly towards him. It stopped momentarily over his house as he took cover under an awning in fear of what it might do next! 

Also in this podcast, Paul Carr presents another in his series of Unidentified Science episodes. He covers the issues surrounding fallible human recall.

We also introduce you to our newest API Investigator, Roger Draper. He hails from the San Francisco area and, with a background in law enforcement, investigation, and his DOD experience, he’s a real bonus addition to the team!

Recorded: 19 September 2018

Released: 22 September 2018

Duration: 55 minutes 14 seconds

Simone Mendez in the Air Force in the early 1980s

Transcript for this Episode

Paul Carr welcomes Simone Mendez, whose contact with what appeared to be an official document detailing detection of extraterrestrial spacecraft when she was in the US Air Force caused her several months of grief and resulted in the loss of her Top Secret clearance.

Here we give Ms. Mendez a chance to tell her story and set the record straight. Her story  turns out to have many unanswered questions.

A statement for listeners from Simone Mendez:

After the audio was released, Ms. Mendez e-mailed and asked if I could make public the following statement.

I regret having kept the ufo printout, and having believed the providing co worker.  I know exactly what you listeners are thinking of that.  Just as it was derogatorily repeatedly made known to me in no uncertain terms, over the years, by certain ufo enthusiasts and online commenters.

I have a reason, that is not an excuse.  

In the year 2018, I see and know the truth about me, of 1981.  

I would rather not publicize (in medical vernacular,) a condition.

I am an Autistic person, which I was not awake to that fact, until my mid 40’s.  

We types tend to latch our focus onto one thing, with mental blinders on the sides.

I was naive and socially inept, and my then-unacknowledged condition also did not help me on polygraph exams.

If I could go back in time knowing what I know now, I would never have entered the service
