Witness accounts from inside alien craft, the possibility that China may have a secret space program, and communications with the 'other side' were among the fascinating realms explored this past week on Coast to Coast AM. And, here at the C2C website, we told you about a potential Bigfoot print found in North Carolina, an awesome contest featuring the creepiest items from museums around the world, and a former French intelligence official who recently spoke out about UFOs. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
Communication with the spirit realm took center stage on Thursday night's program as psychic medium Mark Christopher Nelson discussed his gift of being able to contact those on the 'other side.' He recounted how his remarkable ability came about when he was only 11 years old and his father was tragically murdered. Shortly thereafter, his dad began visiting him in spirit form and, as Nelson grew older, he realized that he could communicate with other guides beyond the Earthly realm.
When it comes to the UFO phenomenon, the thoughts of those who have served in high-ranking government positions are particularly enlightening as they may provide some insight into what the 'powers that be' think about the enigma. To that end, this past week saw the former head of France's foreign intelligence service share his thoughts on the subject in a fascinating interview in which he mused about how UFOs were probably not created by governments here on Earth and why the secrecy surrounding the subject may not necessarily be needed since humanity would likely adapt quickly to the idea that aliens are real.
It has long been speculated that the United States has a secret space program and, should that be the case, it stands to reason that similar clandestine operations could exist in other nations. This scenario was explored on Monday night's program by Dr. Michael Salla, who argued that China has their own secret space program. He specifically pointed to a scientist named Dr. Tsien Hsue-shen, who helped develop the highly influential Jet Propulsion Lab before returning to China and sharing his knowledge with scientists there. Salla also speculated that excavations at ancient sites may have yielded ET technology that had been hidden in the distant past.
With much of the world on lockdown due to the coronavirus, online communities have become more vibrant than ever as exemplified by a pair of very cool competitions that came about this past week. First, a museum in England challenged their curator colleagues on social media to present the creepiest item in their respective collections and the result was a breathtaking array of truly weird specimens. Meanwhile, an archaeology group launched a contest wherein people were tasked with building replicas of iconic ancient monuments using household items.
One of the more tantalizing aspects of the alien abduction phenomenon is the possibility that it might provide us with a glimpse of the inside of a UFO. On Saturday night's program, Preston Dennett shared accounts from individuals who were allegedly taken aboard these craft and recalled the experience. Intriguingly, he explained that there appear to be some recurring elements from their stories, such as memories of small, round rooms that are sterile and feature white or silver walls. Another element frequently mentioned by these individuals, he said, is that parts of the craft can seemingly become transparent.
While we've seen that the recent lack of human activity in cities and towns has led to animals emerging from the wilderness, events from this past week suggest that the same situation may apply to mysterious cryptids as well. In North Carolina, a hiker stumbled upon a rather remarkable Bigfoot print while exploring a state forest. And, over in England, a stunned motorist pulled their car to the side of the road and started taking pictures when she spotted what she suspected could have been a puma lurking in a tree.
