Sara Jane Moore, who tried to assassinate Pres. Gerald Ford in 1975, died today. A divorced housewife, she'd spent 18 months as an informant for the FBI on San Francisco's radical underground. She's the subject of my podcast Rip Current. Listen here: shorturl.at/SeaqU

Hey it’s @TobyBallNH !

New Hampshire is famous for two incidents in the 1960s involving UFOs. One is known as The Exeter Incident, when a hitchhiker and other witnesses say they saw a large flashing object in the sky. Another supposedly took place in the North Country, where Barney and Betty Hill of Portsmouth say they were abducted by aliens.
Toby Ball is an author and host of the podcast “Strange Arrivals” about the Hills’ experience and UFO folklore. The podcast is now being developed for a feature film with Demi Moore and Colman Domingo.
He spoke with NHPR’s Rick Ganley about why the Hills’ experience fascinates people to this day.
