AREA52 Podcast (Chris Ramsay)Oct 30, 2026
In 1976, Maine physician Dr. Herbert Hopkins was visited by a bizarre, doll-like Man in Black after he hypnotically regressed David Stevens, a teenager who claimed he was abducted by grays near Oxford, Maine in October 1975. The pale, hairless visitor made a penny vanish from Hopkins' palm and claimed Barney Hill died because he 'had no heart, just as you no longer have a coin.' Terrified, Hopkins destroyed all his tapes and UFO records, and the episode includes his own recorded account of the encounter, told with Betty Hill sitting beside him.
The Alien in Dr. Jonathan Reed's Freezer
AREA52 Podcast (Chris Ramsay)Oct 23, 2026
In October 1996, a man using the pseudonym Dr. Jonathan Reed says an alien creature killed his golden retriever Susie in a Washington forest, and he struck it dead with a branch. He claims he stored the body in his garage freezer, where it revived three days later, and that this began 25 years of telepathic contact, a teleportation bracelet called 'the link,' and a campaign of murders and cover-ups. Chris Ramsay sits down with Reed for nearly three hours to test one of the most polarizing cases in UFO history, while openly stating his own skepticism.
Child Like Aliens FOUND inside a Crashed UFO
AREA52 Podcast (Chris Ramsay)Oct 20, 2026
Researchers Scott and Suzanne Ramsey join Chris Ramsay to lay out 34 years of investigation into the alleged March 25, 1948 crash of an intact, 100-foot flying saucer on a mesa near Aztec, New Mexico, where 16 small, childlike bodies were reportedly recovered. They present witness testimony, a buried concrete slab they say was used to winch out the craft, oddly planted rows of trees, and heavily redacted FBI files. They also argue that the famous 'hoax' debunking by J.P. Cahn was a deliberate smear campaign, and they reveal a mysterious blue metallic sphere found at the crash site.

Australia’s Strangest UFO Cases with Violeta M. Bagia
Somewhere in the SkiesAug 31, 2026
Australian author and Somewhere in the Skies Substack writer Violeta Bagia joins host Ryan Sprague to revisit lesser-known Australian UFO cases she dug up from Royal Australian Air Force files held by the National Archives of Australia. The conversation covers the 1954 Dandenong saucer sighting, the 1988 Knowles family encounter on the Nullarbor, and the disputed 1993 Eric Thomason beach photos. They also discuss why abduction reports have faded from public view and whether today's government-focused UFO discourse has lost the sense of wonder found in older witness accounts.
