AudioBlog: R.I.P. Mr. U.F.O

This past Memorial Day, May 31, 2021, UFO and paranormal researcher
Timothy Green Beckley passed on. He was a colorful character who
stood out in a field full of colorful characters, and while he
might not have been the most serious of researchers, he was part of
a circle of legendary characters from the days of flying saucers
that included James Moseley, Gray Barker, and John Keel. Records of
Beckley’s age at the time of his passing range from 65 to 69.
According to the IMDb, he was born on March 4, 1952 as Jeremy
Stone. In addition to his interest in the paranormal, he was an
actor in and producer of soft-core porn/horror movies and was known
to fans as “Mr. Creepo.” He wrote and published many books on the
paranormal with a definite sensationalized bent and was active in
the community up until his death. According to what is believed to
be his self-authored bio, “Tim Beckley had so many careers that
even his own girlfriend didn’t know what he did for a
living… Timothy Green Beckley has been described as the Hunter
Thompson of UFOlogy by the editor of UFO magazine Nancy Birnes.”
His bio contains the claims that his life was saved by an invisible
force at the age of three, he started having out of body
experiences at the age of six, he had his first UFO sighting at age
ten, and had two more after that in the course of his life. Read
