UFO sightings are a global phenomenon. However, for more than 70 years discussions and research surrounding UFOs have mainly focused on sightings in the US. This podcast aims to shift the balance by focusing on European UFOs and related phenomena. In this episode director/producer Bram Roza talks about the cases he documented in his feature documentary The UFOs of Soesterberg.

Wow! This review might be the most elaborate and positive of all the reviews I've seen on The UFOs of Soesterberg. It's very flattering and this quote really is the reason the documentary is made why in the way it is made:
"The UFO’s of Soesterberg is a very matter-of-fact, unsensationalized look into one of the modern era’s most polarizing mysteries. Its evidence is compelling, its interviews are in depth and detailed, and beyond the fringe nature of the subject, it’s downright academic. In a nutshell, this isn’t a doc for the tinfoil hat community and one that you could easily share with your friends and family without getting laughed at. Its biggest strength is simply that it is curious and wants to ask questions."
