The Hum and the Silence, Vol 13: The 1966 Addendum

Greetings Patrons! I'm back with the 66 addendum. If you recall, 1966 was the Swamp Gas year; the straw that broke the camels back for Project Blue Book and led to a civilian study of the UFO phenomenon and Blue Book's files from the University of Colorado. It was the year that Frank Manor saw a glowing pyramid in his back yard, an all girls school saw lights in the swamp, a group of police officers pursued a UFO over state lines and the ominous arrival of the Mothman. On this episode I touch on a number of cases that involve foul odors (stinky portals), humanoids talking to each other, James E. McDonald's viewing of the Robertson Panel Report, and Hyenk's more open policy about the UFOs. There were "saucer nests," "bent headlights," and UFOs and humanoids that pursued children, among other fascinating trends in cases.
