Ep. 30 | UFOs in Czecho

Guest: Sam Beckwith, editor of Prague Pig

The UFO thing is not exclusively an American phenomenon, and even here in the Czech Republic, where we're based, there have been plenty of reports and reactions.

Prague-based journalist Sam Beckwith takes us through the most famous UFO sightings in the area (some going back centuries), how the Communists dealt with reports of strange craft, citizen-led initiatives, the Czech Silver Men, a UFO church and more. This is a special crossover episode with our sister podcast, Prague Times.
