Rotten Tomatoes Fresh
Critics Consensus: A horror/rom-com hybrid that somehow manages to blend its ingredients without losing their flavor, Extra Ordinary more than lives up to its title.

Wendy's Coffeehouse -

*Relocated, KCMO Talk Radio 710 AM. Tap dancing. Interview schedule is wonky. Finally invested in a podcast unit to keep up with interviews.

• On air this weekend, 3/8/20, 8 p central time. Replay. Former NASA Astronomer Marian Rudnyk. Intersect. Huge skeptic when he first encountered UFO Researcher Stanton Friedman. Then he saw - photographed UFOs and needed to 'reformat his hard drive', as it were. UFOs are REAL? Other unanticipated challenges include encounters with MIBs and military fly-bys. Previous blog post.
• 3/8/20 Podcast Archives. New interview: PSI Extra - Margie Thompson, 1 hour, no commercials. Finding Color in the Darkness, Losing a son and finding a new path.
  
  Nothing can prepare you for the loss of a loved one. Self doubt, second guessing and self blame are all part of the story. In trying to come to terms with her son John's death, Margie saw several psychics. While some were able to make a connection, one offered incredible validation. A friend suggested a popular medium but she was booked. The alternative was her niece. Also said to be very gifted.
  
  Margie booked an appointment a year out - questioning herself but curious. She discovered a previous Facebook live event with that Medium. Tired, ready to sign off, the Medium was bothered and said she needed to relay a message. Someone named John. Date and clues for Margie. Recorded in December. Margie saw it February. Subsequent interview. The Medium asked if they had met before because something familiar. Margie said no.
  
  Then, the Medium smiled and said, "Oh, that's it. I met your son John."

*3/5/20 - First morning doing traffic at the new studio. Engineers wrapping up. No clue how to operate TV. Someone pre-set Travel Channel: Ghost Adventures previews. I don't have cable. Totally caught up with Zak and the gang ... everywhere a demon. 

I like my studio. Avoid Demon influence. Don't text and drive. Life is good. 

Marian Rudnyk, Former NASA Astronomer breaks his silence about UFOs - and you can imagine the fallout. (Enter MIBs.)

Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview with Marian Rydnyk

Former NASA Astronomer Marian Rudnyk had a very comfortable reality. Then a chance discovery and a bonafide UFO sighting cracked it.

"This book is unique because it’s written about UFOs by an establishment astronomer. The five UFOs he saw and photographed showed very impressive details. He accidentally discovers original film from early Gemini space flights that apparently had UFO photos extracted and learns first-hand of the threatening processes that result in his surrender of this film." - Review, Dr. Bob Wood, Aug. 11, 2019, continued on Amazon.

Marian Rudnyk is also an Artist and an Author. Bio: He's discovered asteroids and named them, mapped lava flows on Mars and ice fractures on Jupiter's moon Europa. He's even worked on NASA missions to Venus and Neptune. Part of award winning teams at Disney Feature Animation, Digital Domain, and many others. Credits include traditional animation, as well as cutting edge visual effects on blockbusters like Titanic and Lord Of The Rings.

Tolerant of the UFO tourists he encountered while working at NASA, until one over-enthusiastic Bigfoot fan soured him on the whole topic. A visit from UFO Researcher Stanton Friedman registered with a memory of a curmudgeon who wasn't much of a people person. (My words.)

After the UFO sighting, Marian reconnected with Stanton on the advice of his brother (that's another story worth diving into) and they became good friends.

Side note: Stanton Friedman died earlier this year (2019). According to a report by Motherboard, "Friedman had over five cargo vans worth of reports, notes, and lectures on UFO sightings. Nearly 50 years of UFO data that was scattered everywhere - and the archivists have to categorize it all." Mic.

Synchronicity? That would be the fact he captured an incredible multiple UFO sighting on a new camera he had just received as a present.

  

This story heats up with the added elements of unexplained incidents of electrical interference, Military flybys and apparent surveillance by men (and at least one woman) in black: MIBs.

One encounter has a decidedly sinister feel when it becomes apparent the meeting had to have been coordinated with several collaborators. Not fiction. These are real encounters. Read the book.


Note: Regarding Military flybys and intimidating jet dives, I interviewed Dr. Irena Scott who told me about similar activity after she took without prior approval pictures during a visit to Wright-Patterson AFB. Previous post. Her book, available on Amazon, is Sacred Corridors: Secrets behind the real Project Blue Book, Wright-Patterson AFB, Roswell, Battelle, Memory Metal, Dr. J. Allen Hynek and UFO Cover-ups. Interview.


The rest of the story.
Main site: Marian Rudnyk.
Book at Amazon: Intersect.

As for Marian, things have gotten weird. The book, Intersect is basically the intro to the story as it played out up to 2017. Events have continued to present day. To that effect, Marian says Book Two will be ready for release in December 2019.
