In this Special Bonus Episode, Richard catches up with good friend and writer Mark O’Connell, author of the modern UFO classic The Close Encounters Man: How One Man Made the World Believe in UFOs -- the wildly entertaining story of J. Allen Hynek, the astronomer who invented the concept of "Close Encounters" with alien life, inspired Steven Spielberg’s classic film and made an entire nation want to believe in UFOs. Mark’s new book, The Year Science Changed Everything: 1957's International Geophysical Year and the Future of Our Planet is out now.
Richard and Mark talk about everything from Steven Spielberg to Carl Sagan; from skeptics to believers; from the Abominable Snowman to Jurassic Park; and from Donald Fagen to dancing aliens! Plus -- a Jacques Valleé bombshell you won’t believe!
