EP. #1298 Premium Content Unlocked: The Forgotten Files of Project Blue Book - The Chiles-Whitted UFO Incident

For years, The Forgotten Files of Project Blue Book has been a premium series—reserved for listeners willing to go deeper, past the headlines and into the original case files, declassified memos, and unresolved contradictions the government would rather you forget.

But tonight, Richard Syrett is unlocking one of those premium episodes for everyone.

In this special open-access edition of Strange Planet, Richard revisits one of the most pivotal UFO encounters in history. In July 1948, Eastern Airlines pilots Clarence Chiles and John Whitted were flying a DC-3 over Montgomery, Alabama, when a massive, glowing, cigar-shaped craft streaked past their cockpit with blazing exhaust before vanishing into the night sky.

The incident stunned the U.S. Air Force and helped spark what would become Project Blue Book. Official explanations quickly followed—but the records don’t line up. Declassified files, burned reports, and conflicting testimony suggest something far more troubling.

Was it a meteor, a secret military prototype—or evidence of a non-human presence? Join Richard Syrett as he opens a normally locked file and examines the Chiles-Whitted encounter—one mystery too important to keep behind a paywall.
