Projects past, present and future from Jerry Modjeski
1947 was a significant year for unidentified flying objects in the news. Researcher Jan L. Aldrich’s Project 1947 gathered bulletins from the amazing wave of sightings. Paul Bunny, Little City in Space‘s legendary commentator, recently emerged once again from his Energy Closet to read some of July’s remarkable reports with his authoritative, sometimes wacky take on the other-worldly, with Jerry.

Dad at the Grill
Here’s a tribute to the man behind some of Scorchedear’s talents, Jerry M. Modjeski, lifelong resident of Winona, Minnesota, who passed away recently. (Obit)
I shared several important passions with Dad, including love of classic country-western music. He tape recorded himself at home playing instrumental guitar-harmonica on simplified arrangements of old favorites and standards. (Listen)
Dad was also keenly interested in UFOs, bigfoot and all things paranormal.
For me, the Christmas gift of a yellow transistor radio encouraged my lifelong passion, along with noting my Dad’s late-night listening habits: clear-channel KDKA-Pittsburgh; Jim Bohannon; long-time fan of inquistive, acerbic Art Bell; back in the ’70s, WIND-Chicago’s Eddie Schwartz kept tabs on locals like ghost-hunter Richard Crowe, and from the Center for UFO Studies, Dr. J. Allen Hynek.
