It’s official. The Hibernation is over. Mysterious Universe is back.

A familiar voice returns along with our new co-host Aaron Wright as we carefully test the waters on a new two voice dynamic for the show. This is very much a warm-up for us and we expect to get much smoother in our delivery and overall production in the coming weeks. So tune in now for some of that old MU flavor and stay with us for the potential of things to come.

On this episode we look at a new daytime UFO video, encounters with the Grinning Man, and we discuss the controversy surrounding Steven Greer’s comments at the recent Exopolitics Conference in Barcelona.

OMG! MU IS BACK!!!!! AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ben….I can't tell you how many dinner parties and conversations I have had with friends where we seriously lamented the loss of Mysterious Universe.

Ben please don't go away again….I need mysterious Universe in my life.
cassandrasturdy

Yay go Ben and the MU Team!

Thank you for returning to our universe!

It's much more interesting with you guys around.

Ben. Welcome back man! I’m well and truely fed up listening to the EERIE guys. Never did really take to their Pod plan although they filled the gap that you left. I now think that they are just too wrapped up in their fat selves (have you seen them and their easy chairs in the recording studio!)
Walty

I hadn't really thought about MU since the first few months after it stopped. I checked back to the website a few months ago and saw the bit about it “relaunching soon” but sort of forgot about it since then. Then today for no apparent reason Mysterious Universe popped back into my head quite suddenly and I checked the website and here everything was. This was even before I got the email.
Scout51502

Ben, you sucked me into this world of MU then Poof” you were gone. I'm very glad your back. I hope all is well. I thought the feds(or ???) got to you. Whew. Welcome back.
Tom

Great to have MU back and even greater to see BG involved in the V2!

Welcome back! I had seen the cover page updates to the website earlier this summer, and then there was a timely mention of this same activity on EERIE Radio on this week's episode. Was it too much to hope…?

And then the newsletter came through last night! I've just downloaded the show to listen on the way to work this morning. I can hardly wait!
jbonno

So badly missed your podcast, and so happy to have it back. MU forever!

Re: Grinning Man. Hi Ben and Aaron, did you say the 'grinning man' stated his name was “cold”? The name Indrid Cold is of course intertwined with the Mothman story from Point Pleasant during 66/67. In the book John Keel speaks to a creepy man claiming to be Indrid Cold over the telephone (although nothing suggests Cold IS the mothman from what I can remember he just made some weird cryptic prophecies). I think the film tied these things together a lot more than the book. In the book there's all kinds of crazy stuff going on.

Obvious maybe but just thought I'd flag that up.

Ben!!! Welcome back buddy! Very happy and surprised to see the new site up this morning! Kudos to you for taking some down time to get things together and come back with a really solid looking site. I know you were really overwhelmed towards the end of the last MU run. Welcome Aaron!

One of the things I enjoyed most about the early iteration of MU was the Forums, where I got to know a lot of the regular people posting and enjoyed the debates and hearing other people's points of view. Will there be a forum on the MU website? Or maybe there is and I missed it.
puffmouse

For the year you were off i simply quit listening to podcasts altogether. I just havent found any other show that has talent and format to compare. Fantastic job. Everything sounds great and in its place, Aaron sounds like he could handle a few shows himself if the need ever comes up.
daledale

YAHHH!H!H!H!!!!!!

The Grinning man sounds a bit like the men in black, Cole? Like Ingrid Cole, as in the Mothman Prophecies?
Al

I LOVE MU!! Missed you much. I was one of your suscribers, always loved, never ever complained about all the scheduale issues because I knew the time and effort it took to put it all together. Ben, good luck, do what you do!!
Nick Wright

Welcome back Ben.

Ben, Great to have you back mate.
telgar

Yettigetter

I have been waiting for a long time for your return Ben. Good to hear your back and doing well… I have most of your shows saved on my passport and listen to them from time to time and shared with others….
Mia

We listened to the podcast last night and absolutely loved it. You guys (Ben and Aaron) have a great rapport with each other so the segments worked really well. I also love the fact that someone with a background in Science is on the show because my boyfriend and I are both Scientifically minded but find unusual phenomena fascinating.

Great work guys, really happy to be listening to the show again. Can't wait for more.
MrPaul

Right on guys !! This made my day. I'm stoked to get home and listen.
Bermuda

I really enjoyed the new episode #201. It was good to hear Ben's lovely radio voice again, and the new co-host did a good job. I don't mind the slight change in format and in fact enjoyed the dialog back and forth after each story. Ben and Aaron seem to have good chemistry. I also like that Aaron has an open mind mixed with a scientific view. Great job – looking forward to next week's episode!
TFeldt

The joy of seeing MU syncing to my ipod again is indescribable. Welcome back.
Tom

Hey guys! Thank god your back after such a long time. Love the show. Love the new format. Love the website. Bigger and better than ever..
AnnetteMarie

maybe not 'hater' per se… more like a bit educated by The Paracast on some of these personalities in the UFO field.
Name

Oh Halleluhia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh I am so happy that you’re back Ben. Thanks for reviving the classiest most excellent podcast Internetica has ever known. Cheers!
jason

Shout it from the highest hill. Mysterious Universe is BACK. So glad to see you didn't give up on the best podcast ever. Never thought I'd hear Ben's Aussie voice again. All the best and thankyou so much for returning.
azzwright

Thanks for your comments Mia! Unfortunately the science community is so stuck in paradigms that anything unusual is frowned upon. A scientist should be able to question and investigate unusual phenomena. Its so great to see people like you and your boyfriend agree.
teejayROXX

Im so glad MU is back!!
sdashley

Welcome back Ben. It's great to have MU back in my life. Perhaps I will be inspired to write some Alien themed fiction now.
Trivel

YAY! this makes me so happy I missed this podcast for so long.
