Hey there friends and weirdos! This week on It Gets Weird Kyle tells Nile the story of Frank Edwards, a pioneer of news radio and an important figure in the early days of ufology. How did Edwards go from traveling with a snake oil salesman around Illinois to becoming a prominent UFO reporter and in the top three radio shows in the nation? We talk his involvement in the Kenneth Arnold sighting of 1947, the Washington Fly-Over of 1952, and how he got wrapped up in a ufologist conspiracy postmortem. All this and more!
