Thirty years after a stranger allegedly offered them UFO information at a Hollywood premiere party, Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman plan to show the handwritten note they say he left behind.
The creators of Dark Skies have set September 17 for the release of a handwritten “formula” at the centre of their account of an unusual encounter during the television series’ launch in 1996.
Zabel and Friedman, who now host Sound, Light & Frequency, say they will display the writing, discuss their interpretations and make an image available for others to examine. Their website lists the release for Thursday at 6 a.m. Pacific, 9 a.m. Eastern — 2 p.m. in Ireland and the UK.
The announcement gives listeners something specific to look forward to: a chance to inspect the object around which the story has been told.
A stranger at the premiere
In their account, a man identifying himself as J.C. appeared at the premiere party for their NBC alien-invasion series and claimed a connection to the Office of Naval Intelligence. He offered inside information in exchange for using the programme to introduce audiences to UFO truths.
The pair revisited the encounter in Party Crasher, the podcast’s opening episode, released in February. The proposed arrangement put their work in a different light: they were making science fiction, while their visitor was suggesting he could tell them where it overlapped with reality.
Before leaving, they say, he wrote on part of a bank envelope and connected the notation to sound, light and frequency. Those words became the name of their podcast.
An image listeners can examine
The September 12 announcement on X describes the paper as a scrap torn from a bank deposit envelope. It says the hosts will discuss what they think the writing meant and let the audience investigate it too.
That invitation is the useful part of the announcement. Readers will be able to look at the marks themselves instead of relying entirely on a spoken description. A clear reproduction, accompanied by an explanation of who kept the paper and how it was preserved, would give the discussion a firmer starting point.
For anyone coming to the story fresh, Party Crasher provides the background ahead of Thursday’s release. The special episode and image are being promoted through SoundLightFrequency.com.
