Dolan joins us, sharing how he got into Ufology, and deals with questions such as: What constitutes a civilization? Can A-G spaceships be explained by natural scientific development? How superfluous is the alien hypothesis? Is academia hijacked by ideology? Was the JFK assassination a coup? What's the definition of alien? What's the different hypothesis explaining "the others"? Is exotic technology used off-world & held back from the global scene? What's up in Area 51? Are there bases at the far side of the Moon? What's the black economy behind the Classified Space Program? Does Wikileaks know? ... and Rich makes a binding pledge! :: :: :: :: All programs are gratis & listener funded.
