Excellent podcast. I've seen the TV stuff about this case but know more now. Narrator is a tad monotone and more narration would be nice amongst all the interviews, but overall a compelling, well researched story that needed to be told. I don't believe for one minute he committed suicide. Hope justice comes to these two even if it takes years.

Introducing "High Strange"
506
In his new limited series, investigative podcast host, Payne Lindsey (Up and Vanished, Atlanta Monster), aims to separate fact from fiction when it comes to UFO sightings, and the strange happenings way up high. In the last few years, dozens of Navy pilots have come forward with video evidence of objects in the sky that defy our understanding of physics. The Pentagon has since confirmed the validity of these accounts and stated, “We don’t know what they are.” Attempting to break the stigma surrounding the topic of UFOs, Lindsey shines light on real-life coverups, and infamous cases, all while leaving the tinfoil hat at the door. Do you want to believe? From Tenderfoot TV in association with Cadence13, this is High Strange.
