In this episode, we’ll be looking at the story of Albert K. Bender and the origins of the Men in Black strand of flying saucer lore. Bender’s story is an odd one and, in my opinion, oddly touching. As a special treat, we feature some great audio of the man himself speaking in 1967.
If you don’t dig the music of the Buchanan Brothers, you can thank Curt Collins for recommending I cut back from what I featured in Encounter 101. You can find Curt at Blue Blurry Lines and The Saucers that Time Forgot.
