This is his third visit, and he shares details and insights from his latest book, THE REAL MEN IN BLACK.
This is a look into the elusive stories of these denizens of the outer edge of an already strange phenomenon. Nick talks about the reports of MIBs throughout the modern era of the UFO phenomnenon, as well as recent tales from people who are presently experiencing high strangness.
Also in this podcast is a curious clip of Dan Aykroyd where he share his MIB experience and how it exactly coincides with the cancellation of his UFO documentary series OUT THERE.
In this book, Nick delves deep into the mysterious world of these mysterious operatives. He attempts uncover their origins and discusses classic cases, present day cases, previously unknown reports, secret government files, and the many theories that have been presented to explain this elusive mystery.
The acronym ETH stands for Extra Terrestrial Hypothesis, and it's long been the mainstay of how we look at the UFO phenomenon. The easy way to wrap your head around the whole flying saucer thing is to simply declare that this mystery has it's home in outer space. But, there is something much more bizarre going on here, and the ETH falls apart if you really look at it. As Nick says, it's not just that it's weird, it's TOO weird.

Nick is the author of a long list of books on the paranormal (way too long to list here) and during our conversation I worked to get any insights he may have synthesized from his years of research. The results are far-reaching and engaging.
The topics include the limitations of the ETH, abduction research, synchronicities, Bigfoot, the internet as a sentient consciousness, Mac Tonnies, Hammer Films and Johnny Ramone.
And here's our previous interview (from sept of 2010) where Nick talks about his book FINAL EVENTS. As an aside, this is the single most popular post ever on this site. More on Nick HERE.
Nick Redfern has just published a new work titled FINAL EVENTS, he states that this is: "the stangest book I've ever written."
That's the kind of thing that'll get my interest. One click download HERE.

The book deals with a curious think tank within the Intelligence community initially created to look into the UFO phenomenon. After year of covert research with access to top secret government files, the people involved in the research reached a conclusion that those pesky UFOs are not piloted by aliens from another planet, they are instead demonic entities that are here to somehow consume our souls. These zealots proclaim that there is an immediate need to establish an authoritarian Christian surveillance state.
The book is subtitled: The Secret Government Group on Demonic UFOs and the Afterlife.
Nick makes good use of the interview by carefully backing up this extremely bizarre premise. Fundamentalism, occult rituals, Aleister Crowley, heavy-handed demonic deception and plans for global control all collide together during this audio conversation.
I was spellbound listening to Nick weave together the divergent threads of this incredibly strange story. Because of the intensity of the ongoing narrative, I was (mostly) pretty quiet.
Also, see the excellent interview on THE SECRET SUN. Chris Knowles and Nick delve into the esoteric weirdness, albeit in a written format.
NOTE: I apologize for the audio quality during the interview, there is a slight ambient noise throughout.
As goes Nick's book, so goes Quatermass and the Pit (1968)
Good grief, how could I have possibly forgotten to bring up what might be my favorite movie of all time? Hammer studios goes head to head with 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY with this masterpiece. The clip below is the grand finale, so if you haven't seen it DON'T CLICK ON IT cuz it'll spoil everything!
I remember watching this movie on TV as a kid in the early 70's, and it truly blew my mind.
