European UFOs

Today’s episode of European UFOs delves into the captivating realm of Scottish UFOs. Nestled in the remote corners of Central Scotland lies a village that has served as the epicentre of UFO sightings and close encounters since the early 1990s. Bonnybridge, framed by rolling hills, farmland, and misty moors, has earned its reputation as one of Europe’s most notorious UFO hotspots. In Scotland, UFO encounters often extend beyond mere sightings, with reports of direct interactions and abductions. Notably, the Dechmont Woods and the A70 case provide compelling evidence, offering insights into the abduction phenomenon. Joining us to explore Scottish UFOs is Malcom Robinson, a seasoned researcher with over 40 years of experience. Malcolm's extensive investigations, documented in 12 books, include some of Scotland’s most haunted places and UFO incidents, such as those in Bonnybridge, Dechmont Woods, and the A70 abduction. Through our discussion, we uncover Scotland's profound and complex history of UFO activity.

In today’s episode we explore the intriguing history of UFOs in Spain. Over the past seven decades, UFOs have captured the imagination, spawning diverse interpretations ranging from religious devotion to scientific exploration. Amidst conflicting government narratives, the allure of UFOs persists, blending confusion with fascination. My guest, Ignacio Cabria, an esteemed authority on the history of Spain’s UFO history, leads us through the intricate tapestry of Spanish ufology. From esoteric contactee movements to formal research groups, Spain's UFO landscape is rich with varied perspectives and beliefs. Together, we focus on a pressing question: How do societal frameworks shape our understanding and perception of UFO phenomena? Join us as we unravel the layers of ufology's cultural significance in Spain and beyond.

In this episode, we delve into the enigmatic realm of UFO abductions, focusing particularly on how they unfold in France. Since the groundbreaking Betty and Barney Hill incident in 1961, the phenomenon of UFO abductions has captured public fascination, although it remains contentious within ufology. We confront two primary challenges: the surreal nature of abduction accounts, often involving inexplicable experiences like missing time, and the reliance on eyewitness testimony, which introduces inherent complexities. Despite these hurdles, exploring the abduction phenomenon unveils a fascinating psychological landscape. Our guest, Hélène Lansley, a Clinical Psychologist and Ph.D. student at the University of Lorraine, brings valuable insights from her research. Hélène's work involves analysing accounts of UAP and alien abductions, as well as providing support to individuals who report paranormal encounters through her role at CIRCEE (Center for Information, Research, and Consultation on Exceptional Experiences). Join us as we navigate the intricate terrain of UFO abductions, probing the intersection of extraterrestrial encounters and human psychology.

In this episode, we enter the world of UFO crash retrievals, a fundamental aspect of ufology. Following the significant developments of 2023 when terms like reverse engineering, exploitation programs, and non-human technology became popular, we turn our attention to European UFO crash retrievals. Our focus centres on the recently launched European Crash Retrieval Initiative (ECRI), aiming to map and analyse alleged UFO crash sites in Europe, both contemporary and historical. Join me and E.T. Persson, Senior Advisor to ECRI, as we discuss the initiative's background, setup, and objectives.

In today's discussion, we take a deep dive into a critical aspect of ufology: the concept of evidence. Together with Dr. Jean-Michel Abrassart, a psychologist and UFO researcher, we explore the challenges associated with eyewitness accounts and their reliability. Dr. Jean-Michel Abrassart advocates the Psychosocial Model, proposing that many UFO sightings can be explained by mundane factors. We examine specific cases, such as the Belgian UFO wave of the late 1980s and early 1990s, to illustrate the complexities surrounding UFO evidence. Throughout our conversation, we engage in a friendly disagreement regarding the significance of alternative forms of evidence, like official government documents, in indicating anomalous phenomena. This episode goes beyond the sceptics vs. believers debate, prompting a thought-provoking question: what is UFO evidence, and how can we study it objectively?

I am joined by Erling Strand, researcher and Assistant Professor at The Department of Computer Science and Communication, Østfold University College, to discuss the Hessdalen Lights - a series of strange luminous phenomena concentrated in a small valley in rural Norway. The Hessdalen Lights started to appear in the early 1980s and have since become the subject of international scientific research. Exhibiting characteristics that are seemingly irreconcilable with the current laws of physics, the Hessdalen Lights continue to puzzle researchers up to the present day.
