We’re excited to announce that our two-part feature on Dr. Allen R. Utke is now live at DriftlessTimesMedia.com. Part one delves into Utke’s UFO research, while part two explores his philosophical work.
Though a lesser-known figure, Utke served as the first director of MUFON and researched UFOs in Wisconsin between 1965 and 1971. Notably, he studied Elmwood, WI, long before it became the UFO hotspot it is today.

After stepping away from ufology, Utke turned his attention to the crossroads of science and religion. Troubled by climate change and the societal issues stemming from unchecked technological progress, he sought to bridge the widening gap between spirituality and science. As a career chemistry professor, he developed a philosophy advocating for balance between the two to guide humanity’s future.

For those who prefer listening, both features include narrated versions by the author, available for streaming or download from their respective web pages.
Discover both features and more deep dives into the world of folklore and the paranormal at DriftlessTimesMedia.com.
