  • AC 00150 - Bill Hermann's Wild Ride

    AC 00150 - Bill Hermann's Wild Ride
    2026/10/18

    Over the winter and spring spanning late 1977 and early 1978, a North Charleston resident named Bill Hermann reported multiple UFO encounters of increasing intensity. But along the way to sharing those stories with others, he encountered a motley crew that reads like a summary of an entire season of The X-Files. Come along as Michael and Charlie deep-dive one of the Carolinas' most compelling--and possibly questionable--stories as what UFO researchers might see as the overlap between the "contactee" and "abductee" eras!

    Upcoming Events & Appearances:

    • 10/18: PBO Pride (Michael solo - Pittsboro, NC)
    • 12/3: Ghosts of Winters Past (ONLINE) (Michael & friends on ZOOM)
