The Val Johnson Incident

from Curator 135 Hosted by Nathan Olli

Send us Fan Mail Whether you are a believer in extraterrestrial beings or not, 1979 gave us one of the most well-documented cases of a UFO in our recent history. Val Johnson was out doing his job, patrolling the back roads of northwestern Minnesota, just minutes from the North Dakota border. When he went to turn onto Highway 220, a light appeared before him. Seconds later it was hitting his vehicle, causing damage to the patrol car and himself. Some people believe it was ball lightning and that he was lucky to be alive. Others know that lightning would have done a different kind of damage. Johnson lost 39 minutes that night. What happened? We may never know. Support the show

What’s often missed, though, are the deeper meanings below the sensational surface. Meanings entrenched in the story’s original historical and cultural context. That’s why this podcast believes in film appreciation. What’s that? It’s studying a movie’s script, direction, cinematography, and other aspects of filmmaking. It’s learning how and why
