UFO Disinfo: Part Three - The Bennewitz Deception

Published: Aug. 3, 2021, 9 a.m.

Here it is: the extra-long conclusion of my series on UFO lore and the disinformation activities of US government intelligence services. In this finale, after a weird sojourn into the world of cattle mutilation, I share the story of Rick Doty and Bill Moore's psychological operation against government contractor Paul Bennewitz as convincing evidence of the disinformation U.S. intelligence has fed to UFOlogists for decades, and I further consider what this might suggest about the truth behind the UFO mystery.\nPledge support on Patreon for ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus episodes!\nCheck out my novel, Manuscript Found!\xa0\xa0And check out the new show merch!\xa0\nFurther support the show by giving a one-time gift at paypal.me/NathanLeviLloyd or finding me on Venmo at @HistoricalBlindness, or by signing up for a 2-week trial of The Great Courses Plus.\xa0\nSome music on this episode is copyright Alex Kish.
