UFOs (or Flying Saucers, as they were originally known), have had a significant impact on modern popular culture, perhaps most notably in film and television, but also in music. In this episode of The Other Side of Truth, I have constructed a playlist of some of my favourite Flying Saucer related music, from the sublime to the ridiculous, and all points in between. Enjoy!
P.S. Hat tip to my good friend Greg Bishop for the inspiration!

Hello Paul!
Fun list!
Your inclusion of Rodd Keith brought fond memories. If you haven't seen "Off the Charts", I think you would, like me, be fascinated by the Song Poem subculture.
The sad story Rodd's life is included.
Best,
Lance
Thanks, Lance. I'll track it down.
I love the Langley Schools Music Project version of the Klaatu "classic". :-)
