April 26, 2001: Deek Richards - Linda Moulton Howe #124; Antarctica - Richard C. Hoagland

Linda Moulton Howe exposes Deek Richards as the same hoaxer Kent from years earlier who falsely claimed JPL employment. Richards admits on tape that his entire Germany UFO crash retrieval story was fabricated, apologizing to listeners and military personnel. Howe's investigation revealed no Interior Department employment in Maine and no record of anyone named Deek Richards in federal databases. Richards confesses he repeated the hoax to see if he could fool people again, admitting his pattern of calculated disinformation. The conversation examines chronic liars and deliberate misinformers in the UFO field, though Howe notes legitimate military witnesses have reported strange aircraft over Germany including at Fulda Gap. Richard C. Hoagland provides updates on Antarctic mysteries with multiple sources tracking unusual winter activity. The broadcast addresses the ethical problems with hoaxers who undermine serious investigation and damage credibility of authentic witnesses sharing genuine experiences.
