UFOs and The Alien Abduction Phenomenon

In Hour 1, Richard welcomes a famous author and contactee/abductee who discusses his anomalous experiences with the visitors of unknown origin. He\'ll also discuss his participation in the new UFO documentary, \"Alien Abduction: Answers.\"

Guest: Whitley Strieber is an American writer best known for his horror novels The Wolfen and The Hunger and for Communion, a non-fiction account of his alleged experiences with non-human entities. Strieber asserts that he was abducted from his cabin in upstate New York on the evening of December 26, 1985 by non-human beings. He wrote about this experience and related experiences in Communion (1987), his first non-fiction book. Although the book is perceived generally as an account of alien abduction, Strieber draws no conclusions about the identity of the alleged abductors. He refers to the beings as \"the visitors\", a name chosen to be as neutral as possible to entertain the possibility that they are not extraterrestrials and may instead exist in his mind.

The Hillary Clinton Spy Scandal

In the second hour, Richard welcomes a US Attorney who represented Watergate whistleblower \"Deep Throat\" to discuss recent court filings from Special Counsel John Durham alleging that lawyers from Hillary Clinton\'s 2016 campaign hired a tech specialist to hack and surveil internet servers at Trump Tower and the Trump White House.

​
