OBSCURUM

This podcast investigates the mysterious flying objects, most likely some type of drone, witnessed in Western Nebraska and Eastern Colorado in the early 2000s. Gabe Lenners leaves no stone unturned in following various leads as he documents the events and interviews authorities who attempted to track and identify the flying objects. My wife and I are familiar with this area of the Country which features vast sparsely inhabited areas and immense dark skies, something seldom witnessed by most people in the United States. This only leads to more intrigue regarding the origin of these sighting and events.

I really wanted to like this series, but like many other reviewers have written, it is severely lacking in actual content. Each episode runs around 30 minutes, with at least a third of that being ads. Beyond that, there are sparse interview clips and not much else. No real answers. Nothing beyond speculation. The same quotes will be played about 3 times per episode, then repeated in the following episode and in a preview of the next. You get maybe 5 minutes at a time of ‘actual podcast’ before it’s time for more ads. Very disappointing. In the end this podcast has nothing to actually add to the conversation about the drone sitings. No new information. Not worth your time.

There’s maybe 7-10 minutes of actual story/content per episode. The rest is all ads. Wanted to love it being as I’m from Nebraska but dude, come on.

Outstanding content and excellent production quality. I remember when this was happening. This an award winning podcast already.
