Stan Romanek and Alejandro Rojas on The Joiner Report

Stan Romanek claims in September 2001,aliens knocked on his door at 2:30 in the morning and woke him up. And so began the well publicized story of his alien abduction and how it has effected his life. On ABC News Primetime’s broadcast, August 2009, Romanek said his first UFO sighting occurred in December 2000, in broad daylight, while he was driving his car near Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheater. Afterward, he said, he began seeing UFOs all the time and could barely look up without seeing some strange light or “orb” in the sky. He tells his amazing story in his recently released book MESSAGES.

Romanek’s extraterrestrial contact experience may be one of the world’s most documented accounts. He has been interviewed by Art Bell, George Noory, Shirley MacLaine,Whitley Strieber, and others. Romanek has appeared on Larry King Live, 20/20, and several national programs in recent years and most recently on ABC’s Primetime. He has been invited to speak at UFO conferences across the country, and his articles have appeared in UFO Magazine, MUFON Journal, and other periodicals.

Reportedly, he has captured the alleged sightings of extraterrestrials on video. His “alien in the window” video made national headlines in 2008, released by Jeff Peckman.

Various news media have stated there have been hundreds of witnesses for dozens of Romanek’s encounters that have defied human understanding of reality. Witnesses, photographs, videotapes, physical evidence, police reports and scientific analysis have confirmed the validity of Stan’s UFO, extraterrestrial, and related paranormal experiences, although one of these remain unexplained. Being ‘abducted’ multiple times is only one aspect of his experiences. Scientists from top universities are still analyzing the evidence, which has created a stir in the scientific community.

Also joining a segment of the show is Alejandro Rojas, a well known radio host for Open Minds Radio, a part of Open Minds Productions, where he is also a writer and research specialist. Open Minds focuses on UFO and related phenomena. For several years Alejandro was the official spokesperson for the Mutual UFO Network as the Director of Public Education. He has been a UFO/Paranormal researcher and journalist for nearly a decade, and has spent many hours in the field investigating phenomena up close and personal. He has been interviewed by media organizations around the world, including the largest cable and network news agencies with several appearances on Coast to Coast AM.

“The Joiner Report” is privileged to have both Stan Romanek and Alejandro Rojas accept invitations for the Oct. 9 broadcast. It’s one not to be missed. Show time is 9-10 p.m. CT, http://ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com/Main_Page_version_2.html.

Paltalk will be quite active that evening for submission of questions. Listeners are encouraged to pre-register to be involved in the Chat Room. Instructions for Paltalk sign-up are provided on this site. Information to go directly to the UFO Paranormal Radio Network to listen to the broadcast can also be found on this page.


Travis Walton on The Joiner Report

Travis Walton BookTravis Walton claims to have been abducted by a UFO on November 5, 1975, while working on a logging crew in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in Arizona. Walton could not be found, but reappeared after five days of intensive searches. The Walton case received considerable mainstream publicity and remains one of the best-known instances of alleged alien abduction.

In his book The Walton Experience, Walton relates in his own words the best documented account of alien abduction yet recorded, the story of his harrowing ordeal at the hands of silent captors and his return to a disbelieving world of hostile interrogators, exploitative press and self-styled “debunkers.” Travis recounts the struggle to get a fair hearing and confronts his detractors with a stinging rebuttal. (www.travis-walton.com/book)

He later changed the book’s title to Fire in the Sky. In 1993, it was adapted into film (Tracy Torme screenplay, Robert Lieberman director) with D.B. Sweeney in the role of Walton. James Garner also appeared in the movie.

Walton has been a guest on Weird Travels-Alien Encounters on the Travel Channel, Alternate Realities Conference, Northwest UFO Paranormal Conference, various MUFON engagements, ABC Television Special, and the Bay Area UFO Expo as well as other appearances.

Listening guests are invited to submit specific questions prior to the Sep. 25 broadcast to Joiner at ajoiner@nctv.com.

Reserve Friday, Sep. 25, 9-10 p.m. Central, when “The Joiner Report” interviews Travis Walton on UFO Paranormal Radio, http://ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com


Mike Fortson and guest host Frank Warren on The Joiner Report

MikeFortsonSpecial TWO hour event!

In Mike Fortson’s eye witness report of ‘The Phoenix Lights,’ he said, “As I pulled the window closed, my eyes were attracted to the three huge, bright white lights angled down and very low to the ground.” He said he first thought it was a plane crash. But it wasn’t. His account was only one of the hundreds, possibly thousands who witnessed the lights over Phoenix, Arizona, March 13, 1997.

The Air Force released their official explanation of the sightings – military flares dropped by A-10s. However, on further investigation, the time didn’t coincide with witness reports. Fortson, then living in Changler, Arizona, argued the flare explanation.  He was definite in his description stating that he distinctly saw a solid object over a mile wide, flying about 30-35 mph at approximately 1500 to 2000 feet above the ground.

Fortson’s interest in the Phoenix Lights has made him a target for interviews in UFO circles. Since the 1997 sighting, he has served as a source for more than 50 news stories and telecasts. That includes appearances in well-known documentaries such as “Out of the Blue,” “The Phoenix Lights” and the ABC special “Seeing is Believing,” featuring the late news anchor Peter Jennings.

On Friday, Sep.18, Frank Warren of UFO Chronicles will be guest host for “The Joiner Report,” and Mike Fortson will revisit the details of ‘The Phoenix Lights.’ The broadcast is 9:00-11:00 p.m. (CST) at http://ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com.


Steven Greer on Joiner Report

Steven GreerAccording to one source, supporters of Steven Greer, M.D.’s world are as diverse as Apollo astronaut, Dr Edgar Mitchell, who walked on the moon in Apollo 14, to benefactor and philanthropist Laurance Rockefeller, to former British Ministry of Defense Head and five star admiral, Lord Hill-Norton, to folk legend, Burl Ives.

Greer gave up a lucrative medial practice and private life to pursue testimonies concerning the American and other government’s UFO contacts and the technology known by the government and hidden from the people of the world.

In 1990, Greer founded the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI). In 1993, he founded the Disclosure Project to end UFO secrecy, claiming evidence of extraterrestrial visits to Earth and a wide range cover up conspiracy by the United States government. Greer is also the founder of the Advanced Energy Research Organization (AERO) and The Orion Project to develop more advanced energy solutions.

Greer believes the ultimate national security is linked to the pressing environmental crisis facing the world today. “This issue is the question of whether humanity can continue as a technologically advanced civilization.” He said that advanced technology has been classified and suppressed due to national security, military interests and “special” interests.

Dr. Greer recently returned from the Extraterrestrial Summit, Barcelona, Spain, the first international summit on Exopolitics – the disclosure of facts and events attesting governmental knowledge and non-disclosure of the facts presented.

Angelia Joiner, “The Joiner Report,” and Dr. Steven Greer will discuss these and other topics including his association with Stan Romanek who was featured on Tuesday night’s ABC Primetime “The Outsiders.” Airing on Friday, Aug. 21, 9-10 p.m. (CST), prerecorded Aug 15. http://ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com.

Lee Roy Gaitan on The Joiner Report

On January 8, 2008, Erath County Precinct 2 Constable Lee Roy Gaitan was in his front yard and glanced up and saw brilliant red orbs hovering in the sky. He called to his wife to come outside, but she dismissed the lights as an airplane. However, his eight-year old son did join his dad, and they witnessed one of the UFO sightings that brought international attention to Stephenville, Texas.

This wasn’t the end of it for Gaitan. There were two additional sightings. “It was Feb. 2 in the early morning hours. I videotaped it for about 40 minutes. It was an object with red, green, and blue lights. I was on U.S Hwy. 377 by Woody’s looking south towards Dublin. It was about a quarter of the size of a full moon. It was several thousand feet up, maybe 4,500 or 5,000 feet up…” This time Gaitan had a camera available. “I zoomed in 168X and you could see it was round and spinning. Something that could not be seen with the naked eye and you could almost see through it. There was what looked like a pyramid or triangle shape on the inside of the thing.”

The third event took place on February 9, and he videoed the object for 10 minutes.

Gaitan was suddenly bombarded by the media. He was interviewed by NBC, FOX, and other national stations as well as local cable news. He has appeared on Larry King Live and numerous headliner radio shows. Internet blogs immediately picked up his report on the paranormal story of the decade. By mid-February, he had logged more than 100 interviews. It was largely due to his credibility and willingness to come forward that other law enforcement members followed his example.

On Friday night, “The Joiner Report” will welcome Lee Roy Gaitan on UFO Paranormal Radio, http://ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com. Listeners are invited to download Paltalk prior to the broadcast to take part in the online chat line during the show, 9-10 p.m. (Central). A direct link to Paltalk is available on this site.


Ricky Sorrells on The Joiner Report

Sorrells has been described by James Fox, documentary film producer, as the most credible witness to a UFO he has ever interviewed. And, he’s interviewed hundreds from high ranking military officials to ordinary citizens. Fox features Sorrells in “I Know What I Sawthe new movie he has recently completed and is currently searching for a venue for release.

Sorrells made international news along with others after the now infamous Stephenville, Texas, mass sighting in January of last year. In mid December of 2007, he sighted an object on his property while deer hunting. It was a mere 300 feet above his head. He shared the experience with his co-workers only to be teased and ridiculed until the first story of the mass sighting appeared in the local paper on January 10, 2008, written by Joiner. Sorrells found himself surrounded by his friends carrying copies of the newspaper and asking, “Is this what you saw?” Sorrells described in detail his experience on the Larry King Show, July 11, 2008. He is the only witness to come forward to have a daytime sighting.

“I started looking at it. There were no bolts, no rivets, no welded seams, it was smooth, it was like a barn gray. It had cones protruding, going up into it, bigger at the bottom, going up to smaller at the top. It remained flat and took off at a 45-degree angle. It took off so fast that if I blinked I would have thought it vanished, but I had my eyes on it, and I know it took off flat at a 45-degree angle.”

Sorrells has been hesitant to give interviews after experiencing strange events on his property, including an unknown visitor in the early morning hours, black helicopters flying low enough to spook his cattle, and a phone call from someone identifying themselves as military advising him to cease discussion about the sightings. Although agreeing to be on the Larry King show at the urging of James Fox, he has opted to remain in the background, giving few interviews.

Friday night on “The Joiner Report” Sorrells has agreed to a rare interview to discuss his experiences and how they changed the life of one small-town citizen.

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
