Our guest today is Mr. Steve Aspin. His new book, “Out of Time”, is Steve’s first book on the subject of UFO and abduction research. Following a lifetime of what are often described as ‘anomalous experiences’, his serious interest in this complex subject began in 2007 when he realized that the phenomenon was not only real but was happening to him and had been all his life.

We Are Not Alone - Monday, March 6, 2023. 2 – 3 PM EST.
Our guest today is T.J. Ryan. T.J. is the host of the podcast “Out There”, where he interviews psychics, mediums, UFO witnesses and all things paranormal. He has had UAP sightings since childhood but, more recently, in May of 2022, T.J. had another kind of sighting that raised my interest: he witnessed a passenger plane that appeared to be frozen in midair at a comparatively close proximity. Optical illusion? Perhaps. But that wouldn’t answer the question as to why there was no sound associated with the event or why so many others have had similar experiences around the world.
