Description

The Paul Bennewitz Deception is one of the darkest and most important stories in UFO history — and it has nothing to do with aliens.

In the late 1970s, engineer Paul Bennewitz began recording strange lights and radio signals near Kirtland Air Force Base. Instead of telling him the truth, government officials fed him false alien narratives to conceal classified military programs.

Over time, those lies destroyed Bennewitz’s mental health and helped seed many of the UFO myths still circulating today — including underground bases, alien treaties, and secret wars.

In this episode, we examine:

  • What Bennewitz actually uncovered
  • How disinformation campaigns operate
  • The ethical cost of government secrecy
  • Why real UFO cases are harder to separate from fiction

This is a story about manipulation, trust, and how easily truth can be buried.

Is this a Mostly True Alien Story… or not?
