EPISODE #177: THE HAUNTED MOUNTAINS

, , ,

Never get out of the car.

Four decades ago, Betty and Barney Hill were driving back from a visit to Niagara Falls when they endured a strange assault in the deeply haunted White Mountains. Ever since their strange story went national in the mid-1960s, we all know the scene: a dark night on a lonesome highway, and something comes out of the sky, or out of the woods, and then it all becomes very hazy.

This is EPISODE #177: THE HAUNTED MOUNTAINS. Soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver, written & hosted by Ken Layne, and broadcasting tonight at 10 in Joshua Tree on KCDZ 107.7 FM, and Saturdays at 9 p.m. on KZMU 90.1 FM & 106.7 FM in Moab, Utah.

EPISODE #130: WATCH THE SKIES

,

There’s lots of chatter in the media about some Navy encounters with some sort of mystery drones, but meanwhile in the Western United States we’ve been having a good old-fashioned flying-saucer flap. Seen by regular people with their own eyes! On May 15 of this year, dozens of witnesses reported a variety of enormous, luminous craft flying in utter silence over Washington state, Oregon, British Columbia, Idaho, and Montana.

Now is the time for EPISODE #130: “WATCH THE SKIES.” With new sounds from RedBlueBlackSilver.

,

Are they trying to ram a space-alien story down your throat again? Yeah they are, it happens sometimes. Every couple years, for reasons even they can’t agree upon. Let’s take a last look at this “Pentagon UFO” business and move on, because if ever we needed to move on, that time has come. It’s Episode #090, and you just love to see it.

Plus: What happened over Farmington, New Mexico, in March of 1950? Whatever it was, everybody saw it. It, them, whatever it was, whatever they are. AND: Lots of real good new RedBlueBlackSilver space jams.

As per usual. Tune in tonight on Z107.7FM at 10 p.m. for an hourlong block of Desert Oracle Radio. Every Friday night on KCDZ Joshua Tree/Yucca Valley/29 Palms.

Jim Sullivan UFO

Become a Patron!

We’re hanging on to Halloween like a gila monster, with our spooky broadcast from Friday night. What exactly happened to Jim Sullivan, the now-beloved singer-songwriter who was barely known in the 1970s and then disappeared in the New Mexico desert? Music writer Jason P. Woodbury joins us to talk about the re-release of Sullivan’s self-titled 1972 album; Jason wrote the liner notes for this Light In the Attic Records release.

Then we are joined by L.A. witch/journalist Laura Bolt, to talk about the magic of autumn and the spooky scene in Los Angeles and Joshua Tree.

If you want to come to our events, take a look at our Events Calendar, and maybe come to November 7 Campfire Stories at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs, 7 p.m. this coming Thursday at the Commune firepit. (Use the code DESERTORACLE to get a room discount.) And yes we have a Patreon now, which means we are humbly seeking your membership to support Desert Oracle Radio, our Desert Oracle field guide, and all the curious events & performances we do up here in the desert.

Don’t forget our Halloween bonus episode, recorded at the campfire one year ago. It is Episode #069. Nice.

And remember to listen Fridays at 10 p.m. on Z107.7 FM in Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, Twentynine Palms & across the High Desert, “from Amboy to Zzyzx.”

Also: Our occasional desert-community news-reading service. Listen live on the real-life radio in the High Desert: KCDZ 107.7 FM in Joshua Tree, or stream it online, or subscribe to the podcast on iTunes and Google Play and Podbay and the rest: DESERT ORACLE RADIO.

Two new tracks by Joshua Tree’s RedBlueBlackSilver will be heard on tonight’s program——”Comet Tail” and “Project Blue Book”——along with the following Kojak kind of sounds to soothe your nerves on a nervous desert highway:
