Magic Carpet Ride: UFOs & the New Age

EPISODE 34 | Magic Carpet Ride: UFOs & the New Age

For images and many videos, check this episode and its dedicated playlist on our YouTube channel.

Many supposed abductees report scary experiences, but some have a counter-narrative: the aliens are friendly and very attractive and really, really into sex. A close encounter of the groovy kind often spawns a lucrative business and/or cult with the space sweetheart as the leader, of course. Embrace the Age of Aquarius with psychic powers, cosmic vibrations, walk-ins, star seeds and indigo children. There's a lot of money to be made on the peace train. All you need is love, and believers. Preferably believers with disposable income.

LAPSUS LINGUAE:

• In the Klarer section, I keep referring to Akon as "Akron" because I must've had Ohio on the brain.
• In the Indigo Children section, I keep calling Jan Tober "Yan" Tober because I had been studying for a Czech language test.
