    Brief Encounters: Ep.4 The Hollow Ship: Japan’s Unsolved Maritime Mystery
    May 8 2025
    Welcome back to Brief Encounters, where history whispers about things that don’t quite fit.I’m your host, Nik. And today, we’re traveling to the shores of feudal Japan—to the year 1803. A time when samurai still held power, and isolation from the outside world was strictly enforced.It’s a story passed down through strange drawings, oral tales, and old scrolls. A ship, unlike any other, drifts ashore. Not wooden, not familiar—a metallic disc with glass windows, covered in symbols no one could read, it’s a story known as the Utsuro-bune legend.

    A side project of Nik Hunter, host of the UFO Chronicles Podcast
    It is a trial run of ten twice-weekly bite size episodes, if enjoyed by the listener, Nik will continue releasing episodes.

  • Ep.26 Alan Godfrey: Who or What Were They (Throwback)

    Ep.26 Alan Godfrey: Who or What Were They (Throwback)
    May 7 2025
    Throwbacks are where I re-release old episodes from the archives. So don't worry if you have heard it already, as 'New episodes' will continue to come out on Sundays. To get some of the old episodes heard.
    ~~~

    Our Special guest today is Alan Godfrey, a retired police constable of the West Yorkshire Metropolitan Police Force in the UK. While on duty on the morning of 28th November 1980 he had been investigating a case of a missing herd of cows, from his police car he saw a bright light in the road ahead that he describes as a hovering, rotating object. Missing time and an attempted cover-up by the MOD and his superiors impacted both Alan's personal and professional life.
    A few months before his UFO encounter, Alan was involved in a mysterious case. In the afternoon of the 11th of June 1980 a dead body was found that was later identified as Zigmund Adamski, he had been missing for 5 days and lived in a village at a distance of about 30 km from the site. Alan was called in to investigate the case. The body was lying on its back on the top of a high coal heap, dressed by someone else as the jacket had been fastened unevenly, the shirt was missing, and the shoes had not been tied properly. Also, there were no trails that could explain how the body got there. It was as if the body had been dropped from above.

    Brief Encounters: Ep.3 Alexander the Great and the Flying Shields
    May 6 2025
    Welcome back to Brief Encounters, where history’s oddest moments aren’t buried—they’re brought to light. I’m your host, Nik. Today, we’re going to war. It’s the 4th century B.C. Alexander the Great, one of the most formidable military minds in human history, is expanding his empire across the known world. But in the midst of his campaign, something happens—something that doesn’t fit the script of conquest. Something that doesn’t belong to this world… or even this time.

    Brief Encounters: Ep.2 Gervase of Tilbury’s Skyships
    May 1 2025
    Welcome to Brief Encounters, where history’s strangest moments meet the unexplained. And today… we’re going to climb a little higher. Last time, we stood on the battlefield at Sigiburg, where “flaming shields” frightened an army into retreat in the year 776. But this time, we’re not looking at a single event—we’re diving into the mind of a medieval man who collected stories that seem straight out of a sci-fi film.

    Ep.1 Flaming Shields in the Sky: The Siege of Sigiburg
    Apr 29 2025
    Welcome to Brief Encounters, where we dig into the oldest—and often the weirdest—encounters between humanity and the skies above. We’re going deep into the past. The year is 776 A.D. The place: Sigiburg Castle, in what is now Germany. It’s a time of war, chaos, and bloodshed. But above the battlefield, something appeared—something none of the soldiers could explain.

  • Ep.331 A Life of Haunting

    Ep.331 A Life of Haunting
    Apr 27 2025
    Tonight, we meet Phil from Buckinghamshire, UK. From a young age, Phil sensed his world was different
    One childhood afternoon, home sick with the mumps and resting in his mother’s bed, he glanced toward the doorway—and froze. There stood the apparition of a little girl, silent, dressed in pale blue with corn dollies woven into her hair.
    Later, a picture fell from the wall, revealing a hidden photograph tucked inside the frame—an old image of a girl strikingly similar to the one he’d seen. The house had a rhythm of its own. Toy soldiers would fly across the room without warning. At night, Phil lay paralyzed as the ghost of a woman hovered above his bed.
    These weren’t just Phil’s experiences. His mother, too, had stories—memories of playing with three mysterious children who visited every summer when she was young. Children, she later realized, no adult ever seemed to see.
    Some lives are touched by the paranormal. Others are shaped by it.

  • Ep.330 The Minot Encounter: One Hour of Silence

    Ep.330 The Minot Encounter: One Hour of Silence
    Apr 20 2025
    For tonight’s episode, we meet Sarge in Idaho. Sarge brings us a firsthand account that has stayed under wraps for far too long. Picture this: a quiet spring night in 2010 at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota—a critical hub for nuclear security. Out of nowhere, UFOs appear—silent, precise, and unlike anything witnesses had ever seen before. These crafts maneuver over the base for exactly one hour, silently observing before vanishing into the night sky. But the story doesn’t end there. The very next night, a large reconnaissance plane appears, circling the base at the exact same time the UFOs had the night before. It lingers for several hours before disappearing without a trace. We’ll hear from Sarge, who was on duty that night and was one of multiple witnesses to this extraordinary event. And there’s more—back in October 1968, at the same Air Force base, ground-based personnel reported seeing a glowing object hovering near the missile sites. It was described as extremely bright, with rapidly shifting colors. A B-52 bomber crew returning to base that night also reported visual contact with a similar object. The incident was investigated under Project Blue Book, the official U.S. Air Force program tasked with evaluating UFO reports.
