11PM UFOS IN WARTIME

Richard speaks with author Mark Maloney who believes he has proof that UFOs exist, and he makes this
controversial claim in his new book UFOs IN WARTIME: WHAT THEY DIDN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW.  Accounts
of hovering objects when war is imminent reach as far back as AD 312 when seen by Roman Emperor Constantine
l as he led his troops to battle.  They Supposedly aided George Washington in winning the American Revolution.  UFOs
were also reported flying over Normandy on D-Day, and were dubbed 'foo fighters' by World War ll pilots.  In Vietnam,
an Air Force commander said they were plagued by UFOs.  Even today, the reports continue to pour in, as noiseless
objects are deen darting over the battlegrounds of the Middle East.

GUEST:  Mack Maloney grew up in the Dorchester section of Boston. His father was a veteran of World War II and

As a child, Mack started reading them too, along with a lot of science fiction.
He received a BS in journalism and a graduate degree in filmmaking from 
Emerson College. He was
a sports reporter for two years after college before joining corporate America as a publicist for General
Electric Company. Mack 
started writing books in 1984, and has been doing it full time since 1987, penning
over 30 books.

12AM THE TITANIC CONSPIRACY

Richard discusses several alternative theories surrounding one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters
in history 100 years ago today.  One theory, posited by a researcher from Oxford, argues that it was not
the Titanic that sunk, but it's identical twin, The Olympic.  According to the theory, White Star Lines
switched the two ships in dry dock and then schemed to deliberately sink the Olympic as part of an insurance
fraud.

 
Richard also discusses the remarkable parallels between The Titanic tragedy and the events depicted in a novella
written in 1898, called The Wreck of The Titan.
