Ep.2 Gervase of Tilbury’s Skyships

 Welcome to Brief Encounters, where history’s strangest moments meet the unexplained. And today… we’re going to climb a little higher. Last time, we stood on the battlefield at Sigiburg, where “flaming shields” frightened an army into retreat in the year 776. But this time, we’re not looking at a single event—we’re diving into the mind of a medieval man who collected stories that seem straight out of a sci-fi film.A side project of Nik Hunter, host of the UFO Chronicles PodcastIt is a trial run of ten twice-weekly bite size episodes, if enjoyed by the listener, Nik will continue releasing episodes.Brief Encounters is a tightly produced, narrative podcast that dives headfirst into the world of UFO sightings, the paranormal, cryptids, myths, and unexplained legends.
