Salas and Hastings on The Joiner Report

Another doubleheader Friday night. The Joiner Report’s guests are Robert Salas and Robert Hastings.

(L-R) Robert Salas and Robert Hastings

Captain Robert Salas graduated from the Air Force Academy and spent seven years in active duty from 1964 to 1971. He also held positions at Martin Marietta and Rockwell and spent 21 years at the FAA. In the Air Force, he was an air traffic controller and a missile launch officer as well as an engineer on the Titan 3 missiles. He testified about a UFO incident on the morning of March 16, 1967, where 16 nuclear missiles simultaneously became non-operational at two different launch facilities immediately after guards saw UFOs hovering above.

Robert Hastings ventured into the lecture circuit after getting hundreds of interviews from former and retired U.S. Air Force personnel with first-hand experience about UFOs. He has spoken at more than 500 universities and colleges. His first degree is from Ohio University in photography, but in the mid 1980s he retrained in electron microscopy and also received a certificate in Materials Science applications. He was employed by Philips Semiconductors as a laboratory analyst while continuing to educate others about UFOs in his spare time. According to ufohastings.com, his book, UFOs and Nukes, answers many questions and poses more.

On September 27, 2010, a group of nine ex-military witnesses who have had experiences with UFOs at nuclear weapons bases will present their incidents publicly at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.  Both Salas and Hastings are organizing this grass-roots effort in order to inform the public about this nexus of nuclear weapons and UFOs. Donations are being accepted to cover the expense of this effort and can be made through the website www.ufohastings.com

The broadcast is from 9 to 11 p.m. CST on the UFO Paranormal Radio Network, http://www.ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com/Main_Page_version_2.html. Instructions to join PalTalk’s virtual auditorium (www.paltalk.com) can be found on this web site.


The Joiner Report Welcomes Grant Cameron and Larry W. Bryant

Two distinguished guests are scheduled for Friday night’s The Joiner Report. Noted Canadian ufologist Grant Cameron and research/writer Larry W. Bryant will share the two-hour broadcast. New Hampshire’s former state legislature Henry McElroy’s recent statement regarding an undisclosed document that President Eisenhower was briefed on an ET presence in the United States will be only one of the informative topics to be discussed.

Cameron became interested in ufology in 1975 after the sighting of an object, which became known as Charlie Red Star. Hundreds of Canadian sightings occurred during 1975-76. After composing a manuscript of his experiences, he began researching Canadian government investigations. One result of his efforts was the co-authored book, UFO, MJ-12, AND THE GOVERNMENT, published by MUFON. In the past few years, Cameron’s UFO research interests have become focused on the involvement and actions of the Presidents of the United States, which has required numerous trips to the U.S. National Archives and presidential libraries for Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Clinton. He interviewed Vice-president Dick Cheney on his knowledge of UFOs. Cameron’s FOIA to the White House yielded 1,000 pages of UFO documents from the Clinton era. His material has been chronicled on his personal website http://www.presidentialufo.com/. Recently Cameron teamed up with Giuliano Marinkovic to produce a DVD called “Who Knows,” audio and video clips of politicians and famous people talking about UFOs.

Larry W. Bryant’s journey toward full governmental UFO truth began in 1957, the debut year for Ray Palmer’s newsstand magazine “Flying Saucers.” In recent years, he has become a columnist for the newsstand periodical UFO Magazine; has helped UFO-E.T.-disclosure lobbyist Stephen Bassett run for Congress in Maryland’s 8th district (circa 2002); has published a compilation of UFO-related letters received by the White House (UFO Politics at the White House: Citizens Rally ’round Jimmy Carter’s Promise – still available at http://www.galdepress.com/); and, for a couple of years, has been posting essays, articles, and correspondence upon his web log at http://ufoview.posterous.com/. He sums up: “I have no illusions that full government disclosure of the Deepest Secret will occur in my lifetime. But, at least I’ve tried to help pave the way for others who might wish to adopt this life’s journey of civic inquiry, analysis, lobbying, and disseminating one’s findings, conclusions, and recommendations.”

Tune in for Angelia Joiner, Grant Cameron, and Larry Bryant’s two-hour discussion on The Joiner Report, Friday night, May 21, from 9-10 p.m. CST, on the UFO Paranormal Radio Network, www.ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com/Main_Page_version_2.html.

Grant Cameron


Paola Leopizzi-Harris on The Joiner Report

Friday night’s guest is Paola Leopizzi-Harris, a noted photojournalist and investigative reporter in the field of extraterrestrial related phenomena. She is a widely published free-lance writer, especially in Europe, and has interviewed many top military witnesses concerning their involvement in the government truth embargo. Her many accomplishments are listed on her web site, www.paolaharris.com.

One of the topics to be discussed will be Paola’s most recent interview with Canadian’s former Minister of Defense Paul Hellyer regarding his book, LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL: (A Survival Plan for the Human Species), in which he shares his views of the world’s major problems and the end results should events not reverse themselves. Harris’ previous interview with Hellyer has been translated into six languages and available on DVD.

Another discussion of interest will be Helen Littrell’s book, RAECHEL’S EYES (The Strange But True Case of a Human-Alien Hybrid), which is a mother’s story of her blind daughter Marisa’s experiences while sharing an apartment with her unusual college roommate. Littrell ultimately underwent hypnotic regression therapy for any explanations of the unusual occurrences in her life.

Also penned in on the program’s agenda is the information recently released to the public of the esteemed scientist and writer Carl Sagan’s 1984 revelation to Dr. J. Allen Hynek that he (Sagan) believed UFOs were real, but avoided any public statements to prevent the loss of academic research funding. Harris is a former associate of Dr. Hynek and worked with him from 1980 to1985. Her disclosure of the conversation has quickly fueled the UFO community’s news blogs.

This week’s The Joiner Report will most assuredly be one not to miss. Tune in Friday, May 14, from 9-11 p.m. CST, on the UFO Paranormal Radio Network, http://ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com/Main_Page_version_2.html. The chat room will be buzzing, so sign up at www.paltalk.com prior to the show.


“Oregon Bob” Returns to The Joiner Report

On March 5, “Oregon Bob” (Picthall) exclusively discussed his paranormal experiences in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. On Friday night, Bob will revisit The Joiner Report to continue his discussion of the events and any happenings since the last broadcast.
Frank Warren, UFO Chronicles, will again join Angelia to co-host another special edition of The Joiner Report. The two-hour event begins at 9 p.m. CST, at http://www.ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com/Main_Page_version_2.html.

Listeners are invited to join the virtual chat room for discussion and questions during the live show at www.paltalk.com and are encouraged to sign up well in advance of the broadcast to locate the room before the show begins.


C. Scott Littleton Ph.D. – Eye Witness To ‘The Battle of Los Angeles’ Joins Frank Warren On The Joiner Report

By Frank Warren
The UFO Chronicles
3-24-10

Good friend and colleague Scotty Littleton joins me, Frank Warren, this coming Friday night on The Joiner Report. The topic is The Battle of Los Angeles, February 25, 1942, to which Littleton was an eyewitness.

Professor C. Scott Littleton was born in Los Angeles, CA, in 1933 and grew up in Hermosa Beach, CA. He attended Redondo Union High School, Redondo Beach, CA (1946-50), served in the U.S. Army in Japan and Korea (1950-52), and attended El Camino College in Torrance, CA (1952-54), before enrolling at UCLA in 1955, where he received his B.A. (1957), M.A. (1962), and Ph.D. (1965). He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa at UCLA in 1957.

An internationally recognized expert in comparative Indo-European mythology and folklore, as well as Japanese religion, Professor Littleton has published extensively on Japanese myth and religion, the origin and distribution of the Arthurian and Holy Grail legends, and the theories of the late French mythologist Georges Dumézil. He is the author of The New Comparative Mythology (3rd Edition, University of California Press, 1982) and, with Linda A. Malcor, co-author of From Scythia to Camelot: A Radical Reassessment of the Legends of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and the Holy Grail (Garland, 1994; a revised, paperback edition appeared in 2000). He is the editor of Eastern Wisdom (Henry Holt, 1996), a book surveying the major Asian religions, as well as the author of the chapter on Shinto, the indigenous religion of Japan, and has contributed chapters on Japanese mythology and religion to several other anthologies, including Roy Willis, ed., World Mythology: The Illustrated Guide (Simon & Schuster, 1993), Michael Coogan, ed., World Religion: The Illustrated Guide (Oxford University Press, 1998), and Raymond Scupin, ed., Religion and Culture: An Anthropological Focus (Prentice Hall, 2000). A semi-popular book, Shinto: Origins, Rituals, Festivals, Spirits, Sacred Places, was recently published by Oxford University Press (2002). He is the general editor of Mythology: The Illustrated Anthology of World Myth & Storytelling, which was recently published by Duncan Baird Publishers (July, 2002), as well as of Gods, Goddesses, and Mythology (Marshall-Cavendish, 2004).

Littleton has done extensive field work in a Tokyo neighborhood, focusing on its annual matsuri, or Shinto shrine festival, an account of which appeared in an article entitled “The Organization and Management of a Tokyo Shinto Shrine Festival” (Ethnology 25:195202, 1986). He has also studied contemporary Japanese popular culture, focusing on the teenage dancers and rock bands that perform on Sunday afternoons in Tokyo’s Yoyogi Park (e.g., “Rituals of Rebellion among Contemporary Japanese Youth: The Outdoor Disco at Tokyo’s Yoyogi Park,” Religion 17:119131, 1987), and is currently researching the possibility that elements of the Arthurian tradition diffused to China and Japan as well as to Europe from its point of origin in the Trans-Caucasian steppes (e.g., “Yamato-takeru: An ‘Arthurian’ Hero in Japanese Tradition,” Asian Folklore Studies 54:259-274, 1995). His other research interests include nineteenth-century travel accounts—with Horace L. Hotchkiss, he is co-editor of The Diaries of Blakely Wilson: An American Traveler in Europe, Egypt, and the Holy Land, 1874-1876 (Mellen Press, 1998)—and the occult and the paranormal, especially the folkloric and mythological implications of the UFO phenomenon. He is especially interested in the extent to which rebel deities, such as Lucifer, Prometheus, and the Mesoamerican god Quetzalcoátl, are reflections of ancient alien dissidents. He has also researched the so-called “Battle of Los Angeles,” to which he was an eyewitness, wherein a mysterious object, apparently impervious to 1400 or more anti-aircraft rounds, flew over the Los Angeles basin in the wee hours of February 25, 1942, and the possibility that this object may have been an alien craft rather than a stray Japanese observation plane or an errant barrage balloon. Littleton’s science fiction novel, Phase Two, which is concerned with UFOs, alien abductions, etc. was published in 2002 by The Invisible College Press.

His articles and reviews have appeared in American Anthropologist, Ethnology, Ethos, Journal of American Folklore, Journal of Asian Studies, Monumenta Nipponica, Journal of Folklore Research, Western Folklore, Asian Folklore Studies, Religion, History of Religions, Natural History, Journal of the Classical Tradition, UFO Magazine, Cosmos, and The Journal of Indo-European Studies, where he also serves as mythology co-editor. In addition to essays on Indo-European mythology and Georges Dumézil in Mircea Eliade, et al. eds., The Encyclopedia of Religion (Macmillan, 1987, 2004) and Simon Glendinning, ed., The Edinburgh Encyclopedia of Continental Philosophy (Edinburgh University Press, 1999), he has contributed a variety of articles to The Encyclopedia of Religion and War (Routledge, 2004) and The New Dictionary of the History of Ideas (Charles Scribner’s Sons, 2004). He is also the author of the basic article on “Mythology” in The World Book Encyclopedia (Scott Fetzer, 1991), as well as over fifty short articles on mythological subjects for both The World Book Encyclopedia and the Academic American Encyclopedia.

He has received grants and fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies (twice), the American Philosophical Society, and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, and has served as a Visiting Fulbright Lecturer at The University of Tokyo and Waseda University (1980-81), Tokyo, Japan, and as a Senior Fulbright Researcher at Waseda University (1994). In 1991 he received The Graham L. Sterling Memorial Award, given annually to a distinguished member of the Occidental College faculty. He retired from full-time teaching at Occidental, after forty years, in May of 2002.

The Joiner Report Interviews Robert Emenegger

Robert Emenegger wasn’t born an UFOlogist. As revealed by others now researching and investigating ufology, chance happenings can entice one into this intriguing venture.

Emenegger was a 1965 UCLA graduate in film with a minor in music and began work as a director for commercials for products such as Honda, Mattel, Taco Bell, MAX Factor and many more. He said he enjoyed writing the jingles for each one. His film studies followed, and he produced and directed ten original science fiction feature films and four television documentaries. He has won numerous first place awards and gold medals in domestic and foreign film festivals.

Emenegger said he began making these film specials out of curiosity. However, iin 1973, his working in the paranormal arena became all too real. Officials at California’s Norton Air Force Base suggested to him and fellow producer Allan Sandler a documentary film that incorporated UFO information, including as its centerpiece the genuine footage of a 1971 UFO landing at New Mexico’s Holloman Air Force Base and communication with an alien group. Although promised, no film was ever presented. The documentary, hosted by Rod Sterling, Jose Ferrer, and Burgess Meredith, was released in 1974 as “UFOs: Past Present and Future,” and won a Golden Globe Award. The alleged Holloman UFO landing was discussed in the documentary and was depicted with illustrations. It was later updated and released as “UFOs: It Has Begun.” Even after 35 years, it is an experience to be shared and questions yet to be answered.

As noted ufologist Grant Cameron once stated, “Bob Emeneggar’s story is potentially the best UFO story of all times.”

Listen to “The Joiner Report,” Friday, July 24, 9-10 p.m. CST, to learn more about Robert Emenegger’s life following the Holloman AFB incident. http://ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com

The Joiner Report Welcomes James Fox

Another outstanding guest for The Joiner Report! James Fox will join Angelia Joiner to discuss his career as researcher, investigator, and film producer. Joiner met Fox when they were interviewed on the Larry King Live show after the January 2008, Stephenville, Erath County, sightings.

Fox’s interest in UFO’s began in 1993. By 1998, he had produced his first documentary, “UFO’s: 50 Years of Denial,” picked up by the Discovery Channel and included such notables as Apollo 14 Astronaut Edgar Mitchell and Pentagon’s Colonel Phillip Corso.

This led to his second award winning film “Out of the Blue” (see link below). Among witnesses interviewed were President Gerald Ford, Mercury Astronaut Gordon Cooper, Russian Cosmonaut Pavel Paporvick, and England’s five-star Admiral Lord Hill Norton.

Fox is presently wrapping up his latest production, “I Know What I Saw,” certain to be one to watch.

Without a doubt, this will be another fascinating show. Tune in on the 26th, 9-10 (CST).
