63 years ago, Americans might have heard news reports of a flying disc recovered near Roswell, New Mexico. However, it wasn't until 30 years later, largely through the efforts of physicist Stanton Friedman, that the 1947 Roswell UFO crash attained its status as one of the iconic moments of modern history.
In the first hour, we talked with Guy Malone of Alien Resistance Ministries and Joe Jordan of CE4 Research Group (and co-author of Unholy Communion: The Alien Abduction Phenomenon–Where It Originates And How It Stops). Guy and Joe are in Roswell this weekend at the annual UFO festival to present the War of the Worlds Conference, an examination of the UFO phenomenon from a biblical perspective.
In the second hour, we were joined by Dr. Michael Heiser, a scholar of ancient Near Eastern history, language, and theology, and author of the excellent Christian sci-fi novel The Facade, for his views on why the "alien gospel" should concern Christians. He also talked about his upcoming online learning institutes, the MEMRA Institute for Biblical & Ancient Studies and the Institute for Paranormal, Preternatural & Parapsychological Studies (IPPPS).
