In a two-part interview, host Michael Ryan and guest Shane Ryan (no relation) discuss Shane’s 17-year investigation into perhaps the largest mass school UFO sighting on records. First up, how Shane became interested in the suburban Melbourne, Australia, event, followed by tallies of the numbers of witnesses Shane’s talked to who saw the one (or three) objects and finally those who saw ground traces and those seeing both phenomena. Some odd features of the witness accounts are noted; these continue in Part 2 of the Shane Ryan Interview. Witness reluctance to speak then and now is also covered, and Michael Ryan includes online interviews with the witnesses of the Ontario-area events. These low-key, thoughtful dialogues fully merit consideration. Paracasters Gene Steinberg and co-host Tim Swartz offer a Kevin D. Randle Interview. The discussion flows from 1996 Varginha, Brazil, and the century-older 1896-97 airship wave through other cases, all of which Kevin knows well and many of which have their own Randle-authored works. Kevin propounds a jaundiced but clear-eyed view of “progress” in ufology since the December 2017 revelations of a “secret” government UFO program and UFO videos, and considers problems attaching to witness testimony. As with the Ryan/Ryan Westall interviews, even those familiar with the topics will find new items of interest. (WM)
