Flying Saucers, Unidentified Flying Objects, Unidentified Anomalous Objects, Foo Fighters, Ghost Rockets, Phantom Airships, Chariots of the Gods—whatever you call them, strange things have haunted our skies since the dawn of time. Are they invaders from outer space as imagined in Hollywood movies? Are they the product of psychological, sociological, and cultural factors? Are they non-terrestrial intelligences who are intimately linked to humanity? Instead of wrestling with theories and speculation, Nigel Watson speaks directly with ‘ordinary’ people in the United Kingdom who have reported seeing UFOs and a wide range of startling associated phenomena, that in the past were considered by UFO investigators as too far-fetched or ‘crazy.’ His decades-long research shows how UFO encounters can often escalate from simple sightings of lights in the sky to sightings of alien entities, robots, men in black, and angelic beings. UFO witnesses and experiencers can also be plagued by a life-changing poltergeist or other ghostly experiences, telepathic messages, alien communications, strange coincidences, visions of the future, and abductions. Many of the stories might seem like science fiction or the very stuff of nightmares, yet they are told by people of different age groups, social backgrounds, and locations. Whatever the answer, if there is any one answer, this is a fascinating look at how UFO experiences have evolved in the UK and reflect similar worldwide changes in our relationship with the unknown. Purchase Watson's latest book, Paranormal Perspectives: Portraits of Alien Encounters wherever you get books.  ✨ Book a session: radiatewellnesscommunity.com/appointment 💖 Support this show: radiatewellnesscommunity.com/podcast

In 2019 Toni Jones started making music as a tool for her life coaching clients to practice healing on the go. After great response from her first album, she decided to make music full time. She has released five projects so far: Affirmations for The Grown Ass Woman, Affirmations and Chill, I See Me Mantras, Get Cha Mind Right (the mental health mixtape) on YouTube and ME VS EVERYME Affirmations of Self Love. The music she creates is healing and she coined it "Affirmation Music" because of its inner conversation-based Affirmations set to modern music. Music has a medicinal legacy and she believes that it can be used as a mental health tool to heal self talk, all while enjoying the vibes and rhythms of the beats, which is different from reciting the traditional Affirmations and mantras to relaxing meditation music. This allows the listeners to go about their life while being well. Connect with Toni at https://iamtonijones.com/. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
