Britain's foremost UFO researcher, Nigel Watson, pulls back the curtain on some of the UK's most compelling alien encounter cases in this riveting conversation on “Paranormal Yakker” about his book "Portraits of Alien Encounters Revisited."

Unlike many researchers who focus on theories and speculation, Watson has spent decades speaking directly with witnesses who've experienced profound encounters with the unknown.

In the interview Watson traces how Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" created a cultural shift that emboldened witnesses to share their most bizarre experiences, not just distant lights in the sky. He explains how legendary researchers Jacques Vallée and John Keel influenced his approach, encouraging him to look beyond isolated incidents to see patterns of lifelong paranormal experiences many witnesses report. The conversations reveal fascinating connections between UFO encounters and other phenomena like prophetic dreams, missing time, and even apparent guardian angel interventions.

What makes these British cases particularly valuable is their raw authenticity - most witnesses weren't subjected to hypnotic regression, allowing their memories to remain unembellished by potential false memories. Watson thoughtfully examines how our cultural context shapes our interpretation of these phenomena across different eras, from phantom airships before WWI to foo fighters during WWII to today's UAPs, while the underlying experiences remain strikingly consistent.

Listen as Watson shares these extraordinary stories and his evolving perspective on one of humanity's most persistent mysteries. Whether you're a dedicated UFO enthusiast or simply curious about unexplained phenomena, these accounts from everyday people will leave you questioning what might truly be visiting our world.
