BEHIND THE PARANORMAL: Past Guests - 2020
December 27 - #876 - "Explaining UFOs to Children"
with Philip Mantle
UFOs or UAPs are a popular subject today, even in the mainstream news. We can't forget that these phenomena can scare children in an already frightening world. In another wrinkle, what if they have UFO encounters themselves, or are touched by the abduction phenomenon? Longtime British researcher, and author of a new book on UFOs and children, Philip Mantle, returned to the show to tackle this discussion.
