Talking About "Sooner Saucers" on KUSH (Cushing, OK)


 April 9, 2021, I had the fun experience of being interviewed on a regionally based radio station, heard internationally over the internet, KUSH (Cushing, Ok).  Host Molly Payne and I discussed some of the broad issues of my research into Oklahoma based UFO sightings as found in Project Blue Book.

The feedback was rewarding, with numerous people making comments that the topic was intriguing, the incidents fascinating and inquiries about purchasing the book (always a delight to an author!).

Several reviews (including OK MUFON and regional publications) and comments sent to me, have all expressed surprise at the stories most have never heard about and the intriguing additional information that provides insights into what was really going on in those years.

Project Blue Book is an example of obfuscation, in plain sight by the mis-filing of reports, cherry picking evidence, and numerous other interesting activities.

As we await the latest government report on what is now being termed UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), we can only hope it will be more even handed, balanced, scientifically rigid, and intellectually visioning than the Robertson Panel or the Condon Reports were.

Over the past 20 years there has been evidence that the rigid adherence to some mistaken scientific concepts (held to in the face of mounting evidence via new discoveries and techniques) will allow for new acceptance of possibilities. In a world where quantum physics and so much more are now seen as accepted science, a door has opened that beckons us to accept we may not know everything and might have much to learn. 


ENCOUNTERS OVER KANSAS : UFO'S AND THE SUNFLOWER STATE. "What Life was Like in A Small Kansas Town". Marilyn A. Hudson

 Kansas skies were always busy. Growing up in Kansas in the late 1950's - 1970's meant there were always things in the skies. Our father worked for the military, the government, or one of the huge aircraft plants in Wichita.

Name that plane was a popular school yard or back yard activity. News of new craft were features in the papers, radio, and television. Military flight, test flights, commercial flights, small private plane flights, and crop dusting flights were a normal part of nearly every day. We watched as several times each day dark blue jeeps transported crews to one of several missile silo locations around the state, several very near Wichita and Wellington.

We learned their shapes, their sounds, their lights, and their movements. They were a part of our world...of course we recognized when something strange showed up. No wonder we resented when officials told us we were seeing things, suffering from hysteria, or inferred we were low intelligent folk from the "flyover states" too dumb to deal with new technology.
