Conversation 20 – Airman Pat at Cannon AFB in the 70s

Recorded: 7 June 2023
Released: 30 July 2023
Duration: 54 Minutes 21 Seconds

This is our first anonymous API Conversation, although we are using the real first name of our Witness. A former Air Force F111 technician tells us his story about a UFO encounter captured on RADAR at Cannon Air Force base in New Mexico in the mid 1970s, and what followed after that.

If you served with Airman Pat at Cannon AFB in the mid 1970s, or if you were in Clovis, NM at that time, we’d like to hear your side of the story.

API Case Files Episode 18 – Orbs a’ Plenty

Released: 26 July 2021
Duration: 42 minutes, 41 seconds

Download the .mp3 audio file

This episode of API Case Files covers three recent cases.

We report on a daylight sighting from the Isle of Man (Case 21-023) detailing how two men pursued three orbs until the objects disappeared. This encounter took place May 27th, 2021 and is especially provocative because a day before someone else on the Island of Man saw and reported a single orb just like what our Witness saw.

Two days before the Isle of Man sighting, a Witness in Brooklyn, NY shot footage of three self-illuminated orbs in a triangle configuration cruising up the East River towards Manhattan. Marsha interviewed the Witness in that case.

Marsha also details a case from central Ohio of a mother and son who had a close encounter that so startled their senses they became sick to their stomachs for several hours afterwards.

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!

This is the 8th episode of API Case Files – the podcast by and for UAP Investigators. In this episode, Marsha Barnhart reports on a small-airplane-sized, orb-like sphere case in Winston-Salem, North Carolina; Paul Carr talks with Podcast UFO host Martin Willis. (This is an excerpt from his full interview with Martin Willis, showcased in API’s newest podcast offering API Conversations.) Antonio Paris, Paul Carr and Marsha Barnhart discuss the need to collate well-investigated UFO cases to narrow down information into a solid, usable database.
