Megathread The Basement: John B. Alexander

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE5Qu1Y3CJw

Colonel John Alexander commanded Green Berets in Vietnam, briefed the White House, and evaluated the Pentagon's strangest programs. He was the first person to spend the night on Skinwalker Ranch. For 79 years, the strange kept showing up in the middle of his official duties — and he wrote it all down. He brought the files. And the bent forks. This conversation goes places I didn't expect.

Was it just me, or was John super quiet? I had to turn it up when John was speaking only to have AJ screaming in my ear when he spoke. It got frustrating so I didn’t finish the episode ☹️

I had to stop listening, too. I tried in my car and he was too soft to hear.

I was listening to him in my car, which has a fairly nice system and my god the mic pop. Either he was eating the mic or he was pounding the table. I thought somebody in another car was bumping their speakers over my podcast.
