EP. #1312 Saucers, Spooks & Psy-Ops: How UFOs Became a Weapon of Belief
For decades, the UFO story has been framed as lights in the sky and unreliable witnesses. But what if that was never the point? In this episode of Strange Planet, Richard Syrett sits down with author and filmmaker Adam Gorightly to dissect Saucers, Spooks and Kooks—a chilling exploration of UFOs as a tool of disinformation, psychological warfare, and belief management.
GUEST: Adam Gorightly is a researcher, author, and filmmaker specializing in the hidden intersections of UFO culture, intelligence operations, and psychological warfare. He is the author of Saucers, Spooks and Kooks: UFO Disinformation in the Age of Aquarius and the director of the documentary of the same name. Gorightly’s work examines how belief systems are engineered, manipulated, and weaponized—revealing how myth, media, and covert power quietly shape modern reality.
