Veteran journalist Bryan Bender joins us to talk about UFOs, UAP and Washington. Bryan's impressive credentials include serving as Washington Bureau Chief for Jane's Defense Weekly and Senior National Correspondent for Politico. 

He shares his fascinating journey from a UAP-skeptical Pentagon correspondent to a grounded but curious inquisitor after an unexpected 2017 tip. 

Bryan's background in covering national security provides fascinating insights into the government's handling of UAP information, black budgets, and the complex layers of classified programs.

We talked about the possibility of reverse-engineered technology, the challenges of uncovering genuine evidence within government structures, and Bryan's role in the new MGM Plus docuseries Beyond UFOs and the Unknown. LINK: https://www.mgmplus.com/

While maintaining healthy skepticism, Bryan offers thoughtful perspectives on the possibility of non-human intelligence and the importance of congressional oversight in uncovering what various government agencies might know about these phenomena.

Thanks Bryan!

Our guest is Loyd Auerbach, aka "Professor Paranormal," who returns to The Paranormal Podcast where he was our very first guest! With decades of ghost-hunting expertise under his belt, Loyd drops mind-bending knowledge about why ghosts always seem to have their clothes on, and why those TV shows that only hunt spirits at midnight might be barking up the wrong haunted tree.

From spirits who can't let go of their favorite hangout spots to the fascinating science behind near-death experiences, Loyd busts myths left and right while serving up seriously spooky food for thought. He even tackles head-scratchers like why some ghosts follow their loved ones to new homes while others stay put in their old haunts. Join us for a wild ride through the latest theories about consciousness, time, and what really happens when we shuffle off this mortal coil!
