2013-12-10 - Steve Bassett & Tribute to Lloyd Pye

The show tonight is dedicated to a legend, and someone who meant a lot to ufology who we just lost Mr Lloyd Pye. First hour we will be joined by Steven Bassett who will talk to us about how important Lloyd was, and we will take a moment to remember our friend, and mentor. We will all miss him dearly, and he will never be forgotten. "Popular researcher Lloyd Pye, has passed away after a battle with lymphoma cancer. Known for his pioneering work with the Starchild Skull and Intervention Theory, he was the author of such books as "Everything You Know is Wrong." Guest First Hour Steve Steve Bassett Stephen Bassett is a leading advocate for ending the 65-year government imposed truth embargo regarding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race. He is a political activist, lobbyist, commentator, the executive director of Paradigm Research Group and the Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political Action Committee (X-PPAC) and executive producer of the X-Conference. His work has been covered extensively by national and international media. See PRG Media Coverage. In September of 2011 Paradigm Research Group submitted a Disclosure Petition to the White House's "We the People" project which generated a response from the Obama administration on November 4, 2011. This response was the first time the executive branch has put a position in writing on the ET issue and is a milestone. A second Disclosure Petition was submitted on February 23, 2012 designed to draw attention to the Rockefeller Initiative (1993-1996). Concomitant with these projects is the continuing public awareness work via the PRG website and media appearances coupled with lobbying of the political media to take notice of what is easily the biggest and most important news story in history. With the nation and world moving into new and troubling territory, Mr. Bassett will continue to work to create a broad based coalition within the extraterrestrial phenomena research/activist community capable of reaching out to the twenty million plus American citizens who are following the politics of disclosure with interest and concern. The aim is to form a political awareness of sufficient size to meaningfully influence government policies and actions leading up to and following the formal acknowledgment of the extraterrestrial presence. Guest Second Hour will be Frank Stalter I first became interested in space late during the Gemini program and all through the Apollo moon missions and beyond and first became interested in UFOs during a very famous flap during the early 1970s with the Pascaguola abduction case being the most famous from those days. I watched most of the UFO documentaries on the various cable networks over the following years but began to take an active interest in the phenomenon after the publicity surrounding Edgar Mitchell's appearance at the National Press Club in the spring of 2009. I developed a particular interest in UFOs during the Truman presidency. I started poking around various websites and had some beginner's luck turning up items of interest that the established UFO community either overlooked or undervalued including finding a specifically documented White House meeting regarding the 1952 DC UFO case, the interest taken in UFOs by 2-time Nobel Prize Winner Linus Pauling, the solution to the famous 1964 Socorro landing case and I have heavily researched the very curious founding of the commercial titanium industry in December 1948, one and a half years after the Roswell crash. About six months after that I decided to start my own blog up, The UFO Partisan, where I combine my interests in UFOs, history and astronomy.
