Tony Bragalia and “The Lost Encounters” with host Ben Hanson

Anthony Bragalia will be appearing in the new Travel Channel show "The Lost Encounters” with host Ben Hanson that begins airing in mid-to-late June of this year [2020].

Tony says his part in "The [show] will focus on attempts at reverse-engineering ET craft and the story of the Memory Metal found at Roswell."

I'll keep you posted as the show prepares for inauguration.

We wish Tony the best in this new endeavor.

  • We wish Tony the best in this new endeavor. > It can't get worst than his previous 'alien slides' endeavour, or can it ?

  • Be nice Claude...

    Most of us have moved on, from the slides fiasco.

    We all went a little crazy back in 2015.

    Let bygones be bygones, yes?

  • Interesting concept, our civilization reverse engineering found or captured extraterrestrial craft. If this unlikely event were to happen, wouldn't it be kind of like the ancient Sumerians attempting to "reverse engineer" an F-16? If the Dynastic Egyptians had happened to stumble across one of our space shuttles, say, how would they even begin to know what the heck that they had in their possession?

    Besides, descriptions of UFO interiors have always been sort of dreamlike and derived through hypnosis sessions or fear-influenced after the fact reports to police--weird little occupant chairs and odd lights and bubbles and switches replete with quirky little hieroglyphics and little tubes that the grey little creatures wave their little three fingered hands over. And the supposed materials that these supposedly captured ET flying vehicles have been reported to be made of always seem to be described as almost spun sugar wispy and dreamlike--ultra thin metals that weigh next to nothing and can be crumpled up, cute little impossibly-light and strong metal beams...with...quirky little hieroglyphics...might as well attempt to reverse engineer the bar scene from Star Wars.

    The reverse engineering of alien spacecraft is obviously going to be predicated on there actually being nuts and bolts physical spacecraft in the possession of our government. The only evidence that we have of that are 12th hand remembrances from the long long ago Roswell fable, and the Paul Bunyan tall tales of folks like Bob Lazar.

    Seeing as how the whole UFO thing appears to be some sort of symbolic and incomprehensible trickster Kabuki Dance perpetrated on us for reasons unknown by who knows what from who knows where, just what exactly is there to reverse engineer? Seeing as how so much of this appears to take place in the minds of those who unwittingly stumble into the encounter, how do you reverse engineer a dream? The whole ephemeral basis of this mythos has the structural solidity of cotton candy in a blast furnace.

  • Well, if we can't mention Tony B's "mummy dearest" fiasco....

    Nevermind.

  • Greetings,

    Few years ago, Tony believed to have "evidence" from a B-2 video prooving metal-morphing caught on tape (aka retro tech from Roswell crash)...
    It was among his best-evidences of retro-tech from Roswell!

    I prooved him it was only due to his confirmation bias (the morphing effect was only due to the bad rezo of the video and him, dreaming facing a video artefact) and then, how he can be auto-illusioned by his beliefs. Of course, there is the Roswell slides fiasco too.

    It seems he have not retain any lesson from his past errors and lessons I teach him. And he is continuing in his romantic ufolofy.


    Maybe you are welcoming his "come back". I just see the same guy, having not learned anything more, despite the lessons we "teached" to him.

    Well, that's Tony after all.

  • "Seeing as how the whole UFO thing appears to be some sort of symbolic and incomprehensible trickster Kabuki Dance perpetrated on us for reasons unknown by who knows what from who knows where,..."

    Eh, I wouldn't make too much of it. Pretty much agree with all the rest, Zeke.

    As the great "UFO" skeptic, space engineer and writer said on Larry King: It's just a bunch of lies. Lies, lies, lies, and more lies!

    No need to overthink this baloney. Believe me, a lot of us have over decades but it always amounts to the same banal and stupid stuff. It's all no more than the stuff of a kid's bad dream, and nothing the least bit extraordinary--much less otherworldly--in any of it. Period!

  • >> We all went a little crazy back in 2015.<<

    As I said to the guy (whose name is long forgotten) who supposedly "discovered" the slide in a box of Kodachromes in an attic:

    "Don't you know a mummy when you see one? And this whole idea of a 'body from Roswell' is such total horseshit, why would anyone even think, 'Well, gee, this could be the body of an alien from the Roswell crash!'"

    No, it could not! Because nothing crashed at Roswell except a Mogul balloon train!

    And he actually said to me: "Well, it looks like a little alien body."

    And you know what "little alien bodies" look like, huh? How is that exactly? How is it that you know what little alien bodies look like?

    Are you a complete idiot or what?

    It looks like exactly what it is: a pre-Columbian mummy!

    Is there no low to which you guys will not stoop to make a buck off this flying-saucer business?

    And after the skeptics got through with him and Tony B one would think they'd be history forever. But No! Here comes Tony again: the Roswell Crash! OMG

    Let me do Morrisey: "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" LOL

  • Oaky fellows, let's take it easy....this is a new effort to get ideas out there, and you know how I like that.

    Let me repeat something I've noted before: not long ago, I found over a thousand (1000+) comments that came in to this blog during the slides hysteria. Blogger didn't notify me of the comments via my e-mail account and those comments laid dormant until I saw them a few months ago.

    Looking back at them, almost everyone was gaga about the supposed Alien slide(s).

    There are a few from Tony, lambasting me for getting my nose into the mess in ways that were not helpful and self-aggrandizing on my part.

    But I was excited by the possibility that we had some real clue to the Roswell incident.

    Yes, I thought the "pic" of the mummy was an authentic alien. And I wasn't then, as now, an ET fanatic. But I was caught up in the excitement, and open to the wild idea. It was tingling.

    Tony was too. The whole thing caused a rift in our friendship which was deep at the time.

    But he's moved on, as have I, and he stokes his ideas about Roswell still and anew.

    And while I press down on the ETH for UFOs, it remains a viable possibility conjecturally.

    So, let's not close the door on Tony's speculations which are always supplemented with some intriguing information and "facts."

    Forget about the slides fiasco. We've moved on, or should have.

    We Have a Winner!

    Tony's the slave to a delusion; and lies, and lies and more lies is the only way to keep his belief in that delusion alive.

    Sorry Rich but sometimes the raw truth must raise its ugly head.

    I'm done.

  • I’m with Zoam. Bragalia placed himself beyond the pale, and not just because of the slides mess. I still have the threatening e-mails he sent me (none of which he ever followed up on, of course... he’s very Korffian in that way). He’s a disreputable fantasist who has no place in anything even remotely resembling a serious research effort, or civil discourse. And yet, because it’s ufology, he’s still given a platform.

  • I was the brunt of his misplaced zeal, Paul, as I noted.

    But he didn't kill anyone or abuse a woman or child, so do we need to pummel him forever?

    He'll appear on a TV show, and viewers can decide whether they want to hear more or not.

    (I came across a note from him that slapped me around pretty badly, but I'm over it. He's been civil since.)

  • Not much left to be mined for exploitation in the whole "Roswell" fairy tale .. still available media angles include: "The AMAZING Roswell Diet! Lose 20 pounds the Space Age Way!" or maybe "Makeup tips from the Roswell craft occupants" The whole subject has been sucked drier and emptier than a chicken neck in a hobo jungle soup cauldron...time to play "Taps" and throw a sheet over the corpse of this "controversy"

    "Let me do Morrisey: "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" LOL"
    Now I can`t get out of my head the idea that if anyone, Morrissey should make a UFO song...Probably it could be something about how people have faith in ET UFOs because they`re lonely and unable to connect with each other...
