Strange World Theatre

Welcome to the first episode of Strange Ireland! When the flying saucer phenomenon first shook the world in the late 1940s, there was an eccentric Irish aristocrat right at the heart of this strange new topic, helping to shape the movement from its early days. Sit down and have a glass of tipple with us and learn about Desmond Leslie, the early UFO contactee movement and Leslie's friendship with arch-flying saucer guru George Adamski. Get ready to experience a very strange First Contact! Main sources: Desmond Leslie (1991 - 2001) The Biography of an Irish Gentleman, Robert O'Byrne, Lilliput Press, 2010.
