John Ventre is the Pennsylvania State Director for the Mutual UFO Network or MUFON. John will be speaking at the Pennsylvania State UFO conferences in October, which he is sponsoring. He will be presenting on his book “The Day After 2012”. The book delves into various End Time Prophecies from Hopi, and Biblical, to Edgar Cayce and Jeanne Dixon. John says, “If you think these are the bad times; wait until 2013”. John shares some of these predictions as well as some of the well documented UFO cases on our nation's east coast.
In this hour of Freakonomics Radio, we’ll dream of the day when bad predictors pay – when the accuracy rate of pundits appear next to their faces on TV, when the weatherman who botches the 5-day forecast by 20 degrees has to make his next appearance soaking wet. We’ll also look at the deep roots of divining what tomorrow brings, from the invention of religion to new understandings of how we make decisions about the future.
