About this episode

William Blesch shares his childhood UFO encounter in Virginia and discusses its impact on his research and book.

Tonight’s guest William Blesch, calling in from Israel, shares a childhood encounter from rural Virginia in the late 1980s that left a lasting impact on how he views reality. What began as a simple sighting of a silent black triangular craft would go on to shape a lifetime of research into UFOs, ancient texts, and non-human intelligence. We also touch on his book, In the Shadow of Goliath , where he explores the overlap between religious accounts and modern UFO encounters, questioning whether these experiences may be connected through a deeper, shared pattern.
