Uncovering America's UFO History and the Search for Extraterrestrial Life with Marc Hartzman
In this captivating episode of First Contact, host Eesha Patel speaks with Marc Hartzman, an author and creative director dubbed by ABC News as "one of America's leading connoisseurs of the bizarre." Marc is the author of the well-researched book "We Are Not Alone," which explores UFO phenomena from multiple perspectives without agenda, presenting fascinating stories from both the past and present. Marc's journey into UFO research began with his discovery of a remarkable 1926 story about telepathic communication with a Martian woman named Umaruu.

Together, Eesha and Marc dive deep into the origins of modern UFO phenomena, examining everything from Kenneth Arnold's 1947 sighting that coined the term "flying saucer" to recent Navy pilot encounters with unexplained craft. Their conversation bridges the gap between scientific investigation and experiencer accounts, exploring why scientists and abductees seem to operate in separate worlds despite investigating the same phenomena.
