Planet Perth: The State UFO files

from Planet Perth Hosted by RTRFM

David Bowie famously pondered if there was life on mars, and though it may sound absurd, knowledge of extraterrestrial life has been pursued seriously for decades; from academics to historians and increasingly Governments. Many even claim to have witnessed these interactions right here in WA, with some sightings making their way into local police reports. These have never seen the light of day…until now. In today’s season finale of Planet Perth, Jeff is taking a peak into the State UFO files – a series of documents tucked away in the State Records Office which outline reports of UFO sighting – with senior archivist Damien Hassan. Curtin radio astronomer Professor Steven Tingay also stops by to discuss the likelihood of alien existence. Planet Perth is an RTRFM podcast series about the weird, wacky and unexplained history of our eccentric city. Join Jeff Bullen each fortnight for a deep dive into the events, personalities and bygone icons that have shaped one of the most isolated cities in the world. 7. The State UFO Files
