Stephen Bassett

Published 10th November 2020

The year is 2020.

It has brought us a global pandemic; riots in the streets of America; and a Presidential impeachment trial that turned the United States upside down. But in between those world changing events – the UFO phenomenon has increasingly been given more credibility and more serious exposure on the nightly news programs.

But maybe most of all – the phenomena has revealed itself again to be not only worthy of scientific scrutiny but also worthy of respect by the general public.

My guest today is Stephen Bassett. For nearly 25 years, he has aimed to end what he calls a “government-imposed truth embargo behind extraterrestrial related phenomena.” He organized a Citizen Hearing on Disclosure at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. and he spearheaded political initiatives that injected the ET issue into the 2016 Presidential campaign.

Pending lawsuits and controversy aside, with a new Presidential administration about to take over, how – if at all -- will that change the landscape for the UFO issue that has picked up steam in the past couple of years?

Hearing The Light: Astronomy Data Sonification

Published 11th November 2020

Sonification is the process of representing data as sound.

Rather than looking at a chart or graph, the underlying information can be transformed into audio and analyzed by listening. This technique offers exciting new ways for scientists to study data, and provides blind and low-vision
people a new level of data access and analysis. Astronify is our tool for sonifying archival data from NASA missions. We will discuss the goals of the project and describe how our software converts measurements of a star’s changes in brightness to changes in pitch. After learning about Astronify, the audience is invited to play in our online game show to see how well one can hear and identify transiting exoplanets and stellar flares in real data from the Kepler Space Telescope.

Colours Of The Moon

Published 11th November 2020



In today's image, we see a number of different images of our Moon showing the variety of colours in which it may appear. Reds and yellows are often associated with it being low in the sky when we see it through a larger amount of atmosphere. The blue colour is associated with larger dust particles in our atmosphere. The purple is still unknown as to the exact cause.

Large Volcanic Eruption Caused The Largest Mass Extinction

Published 10th November 2020



Researchers in Japan, the US and China say they have found more concrete evidence of the volcanic cause of the largest mass extinction of life. Their research looked at two discrete eruption events: one that was previously unknown to researchers, and the other that resulted in large swaths of terrestrial and marine life going extinct.

There have been five mass extinctions since the divergent evolution of early animals 450—600 million years ago. The third was the largest one and is thought to have been triggered by the eruption of the Siberian Traps—a large region of volcanic rock known as a large igneous province. But the correlation between the eruption and mass extinction has not yet been clarified.

Tree Rings May Hold Clues To Impacts Of Distant Supernovas On Earth

Published 11th November 2020



Massive explosions of energy happening thousands of light-years from Earth may have left traces in our planet's biology and geology, according to new research by University of Colorado Boulder geoscientist Robert Brakenridge.

The study, published this month in the International Journal of Astrobiology, probes the impacts of supernovas, some of the most violent events in the known universe. In the span of just a few months, a single one of these eruptions can release as much energy as the sun will during its entire lifetime. They're also bright—really bright.

Irene Previn | Pursuit Of The Australian UFO Mystery

Streamed & Published 10th November 2020

Guest, Irene Previn joins us from Australia to discuss her research involving the UFO mystery, she speaks on the Westall Incident, Frederick Valentich, The Knowles Case and much more.

Irene Previn is an Australian visual artist and designer, and keen on uncovering the mystery behind UFOs.

About five years ago, after moving from her home town to work on a new project in Melbourne, Irene heard about Westall incident from her workmates. This occurred in the neighbourhood of her new workplace. At that time, she had never heard of it, let alone of a UFO sighting with over 200 witnesses, so her curiosity was piqued. She then took some of her workmates with her to have a look at the place where it happened.

She was allowed in to Shane Ryan’s private Westall Facebook group and learned more about the incident by watching Rosie Jones’s documentary, Westall 66: A Suburban UFO Mystery.

Surprised to see that no-one was organising any kind of celebration or acknowledgement marking the 50th anniversary of the event, Irene organised one herself. She posted a public invitation to join a picnic at The Grange Reserve, where the saucer was seen hovering close to the ground.

To her surprise, people turned up, even including some of the witnesses who willingly shared details of the experiences. Following the event, James Rigney contacted her requesting a meeting. She did not know him from a bar of soap, and was concerned that he might be a weirdo UFO guy. Prior to hearing about the Westall incident, her idea of anyone that took the sighting of flying discs seriously was, that they needed urgent medical attention.

Over coffee, James convinced Irene that he was perfectly sane, in fact he's quite a nice architect and family man. Irene shared her vision to invite the public to a screening of Rosie’s film, followed by a Q&A panel with the witnesses. James organised the support of a local UFO investigation group to provide funds and helping hands to help make the event happen.

The event was a success, they sold all of the tickets two week before the event! James and Irene worked together to bring James Fox over to visit and film the Westall bits for his film, The Phenomenon.

Through this Irene met her new boss, a mad scientist who works in robotics. She now works as part of a team doing 3d modelling for prototypes and mechanical drafting for fabrication. She also creates collages in her spare time for her online visual art gallery. Luckily for Irene, her boss is equally keen in pursuing the UFO question.

The Ontario Barbells

Published 10th November 2020

In August 2013, witnesses 1, 2 and 3 were driving on a remote logging road in Ontario, Canada. They had just finished hunting, and were on their way back to camp.

What followed is one of the most interesting close-up encounters with an unidentified object in recorded history. The primary witness is an engineer and has contracts with the Department of Defense, something that has been verified by investigators Phil Leech and Robert Powell.

We spoke with Powell, now with the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU), about the case, and why he believes it's so compelling. The primary witness and witness #3 both went on the record to investigators – their testimony, along with a video they recorded, is covered in today's episode.

The 1995 Bariloche UFO Case: What Did Over 100 People See On Board Flight 674?

Published 14th November 2020

In 1995, the passengers onboard flight 674 were in for the shock of their life when shortly before landing at the Bariloche Airport in Argentina. They were seemingly the focus of a strange craft that moved at incredible speeds and performed manoeuvres that seemed only possible in a Hollywood movie. With having over 100 witnesses, including those in the plane, those on the ground, those in the air traffic control tower and the military themselves. This went down as one of the most talked about cases in Argentina's history and the UFO community as a whole.

UFO Incident On The USS Clamagore

Published 14th November 2020



UFOs have often been seen over nuclear power stations, nuclear missile sites, and anything associated with nuclear energy. In 1971, the USS Clamagore, a Navy submarine equipped with nuclear torpedoes, encountered a UFO, or actually a USO (an unidentified submersible object) which approached the sub and paced it for fifteen minutes.

This incredible encounter is only one of many, many instances in which UFOs and USOs have been encountered by the US Navy. This video presents the UFO Incident on the USS Clamagore, as well as four other incredible UFO/USO encounters by Navy and other military personnel. Some of these encounters include a sighting by the crew of the USS Long Beach (a nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser,) a fascinating USO sighting by two retired Navy submariners near San Simeon, California, a highly dramatic USO sighting witnessed by dozens of people off the coast of Redondo Beach, California, and finally a visitation by a fleet of glowing donut-shaped USOs by a US Coast Guard Captain off the coast of Haiti.

In some cases, these UFO events went unrecorded or were actively covered up. This raises the question, how often does our Navy encounter UFOs and USOs and never reveal it? As these cases shows, perhaps more than you might think!

Until recently, there has been very little research into USOs. And yet, if these and other cases are true, then our oceans could be swarming with large numbers of alien craft, most of which remain unseen by human eyes.

It is time for disclosure of all UFO information. These incidents and others should be known by everyone! If you would like to learn more about these and other remarkable USO encounters, please check out my book, "Undersea UFO Base,"
