UNKNOWN: The Mantell UFO Incident


Join Josh as he explores one of the most haunting and consequential UFO cases in American history. On January 7th, 1948, Air National Guard pilot Lieutenant Thomas Mantell was killed while pursuing a mysterious object in the sky. An encounter that would become one of the earliest and most debated incidents of the modern UFO era.


This episode releases 78 years (and one day) after that fateful flight, revisiting a mystery that has never fully faded. Was Mantell chasing a secret a weather balloon? Or did this encounter have a much more extraterrestrial truth to it?
