This episode is about the Mysterious Green Fireballs, more or less. It’s #097, available now on the device of your choice.

The radio station is a week behind, so tonight on KCDZ 107.7 FM you’ll hear last week’s episode, which honestly is worth a repeat listen: #095: “If It’s Broke, Fix It!” Soundscapes on both from RedBlueBlackSilver.

Did you hear about the mysterious, silent green fireballs flying low and bright in the skies over Australia last week? Ever seen one yourself? Ever thought they were just some sort of meteor, as that’s what the Experts claimed? Well the experts are pulling your leg, they don’t know either. 

Come back to 1947 New Mexico with us, as we visit the strange mystery of the Green Fireballs. And don’t forget to throw us a few bucks on Patreon, it’s how we keep the studio going, the electricity flowing. http://patreon.com/DesertOracle

#088 FROM A P.O. BOX

, , ,

Desert Oracle, PO Box 1735, Joshua Tree CA 92252

A tarnished brass key, a small locked box, a sequence of magical numbers, a charmless old block building in the desert. It is here that we visit in the night, keeping our distance, looking for sustenance. It is here we receive your offerings of words and other treasure. All we mean is this: Tonight’s show is all about the letters from you, letters from our listening community, letters and their replies.

Weird new soundscapes tonight from our own RedBlueBlackSilver.

#060: PRAYING TO THE ALIENS

, , , , ,

On a lovely spring evening in 2019 we had a little UFO festival here in the High Desert, with a screening of Bob Lazar: Area 51 and Flying Saucers, a Q&A with director Jeremy Corbell, plus your Desert Oracle Radio host preaching to the choir, as it were. RedBlueBlackSilver hosted the event and performed live. It was spooky and beautiful. Tonight’s show will serve as a fine introduction if you want to watch the Lazar movie on Netflix.

Natalie Bahl (@natalie.terese.bahl) was there and snapped some pictures. The one up top has something the others lack: two unidentified flying objects. Your host did attempt to invoke some UFOs, so maybe it worked?

No UFOs here, but that’s RedBlueBlackSilver on the left.

Beautiful sky, no UFOs.

#057: NOT THE DAY NOR THE HOUR

, , ,


Our favorite magazine writer (and now book author) Rachel Monroe joins us to talk about some weird stuff she’s got going on, back in the sheds, in Marfa. ALSO: What is the situation with the Pentagon and the New York Times and the UFOs? Are we trusting spies and brass now? What a bunch of suckers we are. But there’s something going on, and it’s not just the dicey Pentagon stuff. New sounds from RedBueBlackSilver, everything you want in a single episode of Desert Oracle Radio, right here in the very episode we’re talking about.

Here the broadcast on KCDZ FM 107.7 FM in the High Desert, “From Amboy To Zzyzx,” it’s the Voice of the Desert on your Friday night radio.

#055: THE GOOFBALL FACTOR

, ,

Every weird story that you almost want to believe is required, by cosmic law, to have a Goofball Factor. What is the Goofball Factor? And how does it end up on the front page of the New York Times?

New episode tonight, 10 p.m. on KCDZ 107.7 FM in Joshua Tree, with (mostly) new sounds from RedBlueBlackSilver, plus this weird goblin recording we got off the radio driving through the Owens Valley a few years ago.

Don’t forget the UFO SOCIAL CLUB at the airport bar (on the airstrip in Yucca Valley), Thursday 5/16 at 7 or so. Maybe 8. It’s not a performance. You will have to entertain yourself. Which is the best way to get it done. And yes we are busily mailing out subscriber copies of ISSUE #8. Order a subscription if you don’t already have one. Or pick up a copy at your favorite Hi-Dez shop. It’s our “revenue stream.” (Sometimes.)
