Cult of the Saucer: Contactees and Visitors from Venus | MHP 09.21.20.

<p>Last week, the search for extraterrestrial life got quite a boost after a team of researchers announced that they may have discovered signs of life on one of Earth’s nearest and least hospitable neighboring planets, Venus. </p> <p>It would be ironic if we were to discover the likely presence of life on such an otherwise inhospitable world, especially since this had been the planet which figured heavily into the early claims of many of the so-called “contactees.” These individuals began coming forward in the middle 1950s with (often absurd) stories of having met benevolent space brothers, who frequently hailed from planets like Venus.</p> <p>This week, we revisit the tales of the contactee era, along with the bizarre story "Valiant Thor," a purported Venusian visitor that came to Earth and even spent several years in the Nation's Capital.</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.gralienreport.com/x">The story doesn't end here... become an X Subscriber and get access to even more weekly content and monthly specials.</a></p> <p><strong>Enjoy <em>The Micah Hanks Program</em>? <a href= "https://www.micahhanks.com/shows/">Check out Micah's other podcasts here</a>. </strong></p> </blockquote> <h3><strong>Want to advertise/sponsor our show?</strong></h3> <p>We have partnered with the fine folks at <strong><em>AdvertiseCast</em></strong> to handle our advertising/sponsorship requests.
