Out-of-This-World UFO Museums
Season 4, Episode 4, Feb 23, 2022, 09:48 PM
What were flying saucers called before UFOs? (Or now UAPs?) When did "little green men" enter ufology's vernacular? This episode explores that and more!
There are really only two UFO museums:
- The Pine Bush UFO & Paranormal Museum in Pine Bush, New York, and
- The International UFO Museum & Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico, a.k.a. what many consider the mecca of UFO museums.
We explore both, as well as a couple of other museums with UFO connections, in this episode of Macabre Museums.
Before we do, though, we examine how and when UFOs first entered America’s consciousness, which can really be traced back to one year: 1947.
A lot of people credit the crash at Roswell with that, which was technically the first thing to happen in 1947, but it wasn't the first to make news. Kenneth Arnold's sighting at Mount Rainier as well as a transport plane out of Boise, Idaho, whose pilot, first officer, and stewardess observed "flying discs" were.
Then we move on to Pine Bush's UFO history, which doesn't have one major event like Roswell did. Rather, it’s had decades-long consistent sightings.
After also talking about the UFO festivals and fairs in both Roswell and Pine Bush, we make a brief stop at two other museums:

- The Pennyroyal Area Museum in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, to check out the 1955 “Kelly Encounter” where Lucky Sutton and his family said little green men had landed on their farm and waged an attack on them. This is also where the idea of "little green men" were born.
- Seismique in Houston, Texas, which Houstonia Mag called a “Far-Out Journey.”
P.S.
Apologies for the delay in releasing this week's episode. An unexpected, but now thankfully resolved, healthcare issue cropped up that I had to deal with first.
