Binnall of America
Tim Binnall updates us on the latest installment of his Binnall of America:
Linda Moulton Howe
Earth Mysteries & Ufology
1 Hour, 19 Minutes
The incomparable Linda Moulton Howe comes to BoA:Audio for a truly unique episode of the show. LMH details her entrance and evolution in the world of high strangeness, an in-depth recounting of her infamous meeting with Richard Doty in 1983, whether she regrets entering the “earth mysteries” field, why she keeps researching high strangeness, her perspective on being a prominent woman in Ufology, where she sees the field going in the future and much, much more.
It’s an episode of BoA:Audio that must be heard to be believed.
Full Preview: We kick things off with Linda recounting her history in broadcasting, including her time at Stanford University and TV stations in Boston and Denver. This leads to her telling the story of her serendipitous introduction to the cattle mutilation phenomena. From there, she talks about her film A Strange Harvest and why she found the cat mut story so compelling. She also shares the surprising reaction by the station’s general manager to A Strange Harvest. This leads to the recounting of her full-time entrance into the field of reporting on high strangeness.
Next, we find out what drives Linda to keep researching earth mysteries after all these years. We find out if she ever regrets deciding to research the paranormal, given that her career in mainstream reporting was flourishing prior to that.
Following that, Linda gives us a detailed recounting of her infamous meeting with Richard Doty in 1983. She explains how the Doty meeting came about in the first place, on a matter of happenstance. From there, she gives us an amazingly detailed account of the meeting with Doty, including a number of bizarre elements and the purported revelations about ETs and UFOs that were imparted to her.
Based on what we know about Doty now and her own research, Linda speculates on how much of the information she was given was accurate and how much was disinformation. We find out if she has had any contact with Doty since that fateful meeting in 1983 and she details what her research has uncovered with regards to the Lonnie Zamora UFO incident at Socorro, New Mexico.
She goes on to explain how the Doty meeting, and his unfullfilled promises, led to the derailing of her HBO project on the UFO phenomenon. This includes some remarkable perspective on the response of HBO to the information she’d gotten from Doty and the requirements that the channel placed on Linda if she was to proceed with the special. This leads to her explaining why her book was titled An Alien Harvest, coming ten years after her critically acclaimed film had been titled A Strange Harvest.
Looking at a big picture issue, we get Linda’s take on being a woman in the field of Ufology and high strangeness. She talks about how her upbringing may have paved the way for her to be unafraid of entering male dominated fields. She also shares a truly amazing story of sexism she encountered in the TV industry after she left Stanford.
Wrapping things up, we find out where Linda sees the UFO phenomenon going in the near and distant future. We also get her perspective on the Exopolitics movement and UFO disclosure activism. She shares information that she has received with regards to a government policy on UFO disclosure.

I will listen to Binnall’s interview. However, I have a slight problem with sensationalizing the UFO/ET/Flying Saucer/Abduction/Cattle Mutilation phenomena. LMH is one of the best at it and I believe she makes qite a bit of money doing it. Be that as it may, sensationalizing the phenomena has, in my opinion, done more harm than good. I remember looking at her book at Walden Books that was primarily photos of cattle mutilations. At $157.95, it was a tad expensive for me and even though it was reduced to $79.95, I still couldn’t afford it, although the photos were excellent and seemed to be well documented. I think back to the Lake Superior “find” of the F-94 Starfire that had an anomoly near it on the lake’s floor. That dried up quickly (no pun intended). Possibly, it wouldn’t have, had it not been sensationalized and hyped on several nightime shows and websites. It may also have been proven a hoax much quicker. Giving her due, though, she has brought attention to the phenomena and I can’t fault her for that. I just wish that her “finds” were better documented more so towards a scientific point of view than a sensationalistic one.
I must admit, she has piqued my curiosity such that I do read her articles and look at the subject matter that is offered.

James Moseley on Linda Moulton Howe:
“I’ve met and talked with Linda several times, and find her quite delightful. She’s also a very good speaker who knows how to involve and hold a crowd. However, she may well be the most credulous of all Serious Ufologists and seems to have no problem at all accommodating many mutually contradictory ideas.”
Now that I’ve got the skepticism out of the way, I have an odd light in the sky sighting for you. I live about 25 miles outside of Pgh., Pa. About 20 minutes ago, roughly 11:38 P.M., I was walking the dog with my son when I saw a bright light in the southwest sky. I assumed it was a planet or star. Then the light got brighter, moved to the left and then went out. The sky was filled with stars, cloud cover appeared minimal to non-existent. There were also 4 planes in the sky, all moving in different directions, but none were in the area of the light.
Quite odd and I’m completely perplexed.
