IN THIS EPISODE: In October 2023, Paranormality Magazine published a short article listing what they believed to be the top ten UFO sightings of all time. It was a short article, just a page or so, mostly just a list… and in no particular order – just the top ten in their opinion. But I thought it would be fun to expand on each of these entries and paint a more complete picture…and I've put them in order of year…oldest to newest.
