Episode 13: “Ohio v. Conspiracy” (Roswell, the WaterCar, JFK) We sit down 3 guests and discuss three of Ohio’s most fascinating conspiracy cases. First we meet with author Ray Szymanski and we talk about the connection between the Roswell UFO incident in 1947 and Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. Ray, who worked at Wright Patt for 38 years, has traveled the world investigating the alien phenomenon and talks to us about Ohio’s connection to extraterrestrials. (4:30) 

Check out Ray’s book ‘Fifty Shades of Greys: Evidence of Extraterrestrial Visitation to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Beyond.”

Columbus Dispatch reporter, Dean Narciso, joins the show to discuss the little known story of Stanley Allen Meyer and his water car. Alex and Dean look at the life and invention of Stan Meyer that could have changed the world until his untimely and suspect death in 1998 in Grove City, Ohio. (23:00) 

Lastly, we tackled the biggest conspiracy of them all: the JFK Assassination (47:30). JFK scholar, Lane Marcus, joins the show to examine the life and death of Cleveland, Ohio’s, David Ferrie. We analysis the connection between David Ferrie, Lee Harvey Oswald and the killing of our 35th President in Dallas, TX in 1963.
