On Monday's show, filmmaker and producer
Paul Davids discussed his new documentary,
The Life After Death Project, which
airs on the SyFy channel on May 15th. The film chronicles possible
after death communications that came from sci-fi luminary, Forrest J.
Ackerman, who passed away in 2008 at the age of 92. Professor at the
University of Arizona,
Gary E. Schwartz
joined the show in the latter half to talk about his involvement in
the case and documentary. Ackerman, who was a longtime friend and
mentor to Davids, was known to be a skeptic about the afterlife, but
told his friends that if he found something upon his passing, he would
try to drop them a line.
In town for a huge tribute held for Ackerman in Hollywood after his
death, two Canadian documentarians, who'd made a film about Ackerman,
visited his crypt in Forest Lawn. One of them knocked on the crypt, and
said 'hello Forry, are you there?' An hour later, they were posting on
their blog, and had to type in a randomly generated code to make sure
they weren't a spammer. Bizarrely, the random code came up as Ackerman
000. Then, as they were discussing the event, their other computer,
which had been asleep, suddenly issued an audio snippet that seemed to
be responding to them, Davids recounted. He also shared his own
incident, which he experienced in Santa Fe, involving a document he'd
printed out that had an anomalous ink stain on it with four words
blacked out. He believes this was possibly a communication to him from
Ackerman.
Schwartz outlined four different types of evidence for after death
communications in the Ackerman incidents that are highlighted in Davids'
documentary: a host of physical phenomena that can't be explained by
conventional means, a series of stunning synchronicities, three
independent mediums who provide complementary information, and
technology-enabled testing that Schwarz conducted. He noted that while
no one area is proof of the afterlife, the combination of all four
together presents a strong case.

TEXAS 1/8/2008;
The Stephenville, Texas Incident: Multiple Visual Sightings Supported by Radar”
The events that unfolded in Stephenville, Texas, on January 8, 2008, caught the attention
of the media world-wide. This is the story of one of the most intriguing UFO cases in
recent times. On January 8, 2008, over twenty different witnesses at a dozen different
locations, at different times, saw lights perform maneuvers that cannot be explained by
conventional aircraft based on our understanding of physics. Witnesses included the
police and a chief of police, a pilot, a constable, a former air traffic controller, and several
business people. But most impressive of all—FAA provided radar data supported their
claims. What happened that night between 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. remains a mystery today.
In his presentation, Robert Powell will walk us through the events of that night and place
you behind the radar screen as you watch the flight of F-16 jets from the base formerly
known as Carswell AFB as well as the approach of unknown objects into Erath County,
Texas and their highly unusual flight characteristics caught on radar. You be the judge!

MISSOURI'S MUFON CMS
“Missouri’s “UFO Flap” and The Environment – Is there a relationship between the two?”
In October of 2011, Missouri experienced an unusually large number of UFO sighting reports totaling a record 87 with the peak of these occurring in the greater Kansas City, Missouri area on October 4th. Missouri MUFON CMS sighting reports rose from 139 in 2010 to 253 reports in 2011 and 263 reports in 2012. Along with this increase in UFO sighting reports came an unusual amount of “strange” environmental related occurrences across the State starting in January 2011.
This began with a large number of unexplained bird and fish deaths and continued throughout the year with record storms, earthquakes, unusual orange balls of light being reported and “strange, loud mechanical sounds” in the night sky. In January 2012 the report of a cattle mutilation near Whiteman AFB was reported by the news media and investigated by Missouri MUFON. The environmental “oddities” continued with reports of the “strange mechanical sounds” in the sky being heard both day and night worldwide. The mid-west, including Missouri, experienced drought conditions, water shortages, low Mississippi River levels, another earthquake and a view of the Northern Lights from Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas. After reviewing the large number of CMS sighting reports and experiencing some of the environmental oddities personally, I decided that this comparison needed further investigation which I will share with you during my presentation.
