About this episode
On this edition of the Strangeology Podcast, we're joined by longtime experiencer and researcher Jim Ledwith - better known as "UFO Jim" recorded live at Contact in the Desert 2025. With over 50 years of investigations into abductions, extraterrestrial contact, and government secrecy, Jim shares his lifelong encounters, including childhood visitations and a startling face-to-face moment with a towering Praying Mantis being. He breaks down the alleged hybridization program, the role of the Grays, and why he believes humanity is only at "a 3.5 out of 10" on the disclosure scale and what the endgame may be.UFO Jim's website: ufosrreal.com-----Be sure to check out our website, strangeology.com and be sure to sign up to our newsletter!Also give us a follow for daily updates and goofy memes over at Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Threads, and TikTok and subscribe to the Strangeology YouTube Channel!Help support the show by becoming a member over on our Patreon for membership perks like bonus content and more!If you love cryptid & alien merch like t-shirts, hoodies, stickers and mugs, check out our Etsy merch shop which helps me out a lot to help keep Strangeology running!Please send all business inquiries, stories and feedback to info@strangeology.com.For listeners who have encounter stories. you can also call the Strangeology hotline at (802) 448-0749Want to send me a fan mail?Please send any regular mail/letters to:StrangeologyPO Box 681Barre, VT 05641Send parcels to this address:Strangeology3 South Main Street #681Barre, VT 05641-0681Transition Tracks & Intro/Outro Music licensed by Epidemic SoundSupport this podcast by donating on paypa
