Episode Details

Paul Andrews, the visionary behind the “Woodstock of UFOs,” has died at 77. He launched Contact in the Desert in 2013—a massive, immersive convention where believers gathered to explore alien encounters, interstellar science, and even night-vision UFO hunts. His journey began in the 80s with the Whole Life Expo, a traveling New Age fair that inspired his later work. A lifelong believer—having claimed to see “beings of light” as a child and surviving a near-death experience—he created spaces for others to explore the unexplained. The event featured credible speakers, from astronauts to scientists, and cost $250 a ticket. Though sold to new owners last year, its legacy as a beacon for UFO enthusiasts remains unshakable. Andrews was a passionate innovator who genuinely believed he was helping people find truth beyond mainstream narratives.
