Giorgio Tsoukalos has embraced his life as, "The Aliens Guy." He has been turned into a meme that he often jokes about, because he faced ridicule his entire for his believes in aliens and extraterrestrials. No one would have ever guessed that a guest spot on the History Channel during a segment about 'Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skulls' would parlay into 19 seasons and 220 plus episodes of the series, 'Ancient Aliens'.
Tsoukalos is nobody's fool, as not only is he a polyglot (speaking Greek, English, German and several others), he graduated from Ithaca College in New York at age 20 and even promoted bodybuilding competitions!
His love of history, cultures and yes, the beyond, has earned him the right to travel the world and study these strange and interesting phenomena. In fact, Tsoukalos' first encounter was at Contact in the Desert in 2014 at Joshua Tree, CA. Just like his mentor, Erich von Däniken, I too left about 30 minutes before their experience in seeing two equidistant orbs floating in the center of the Big Dipper, then shooting off in the same direction.
Now at AlienCon 2023, I was able to reconnect with Tsoukalos on a day filled with panel discussions, fan meet and greets and autograph sessions. The fringe have become the rock stars! Every attendee had a story of encounters or a passion for 'Ancient Aliens' that allowed them to be apart of a community where 25 years ago they would have had to whisper in the shadows while being called, "tinfoil hat people."
In our conversation above, you can hear Tsoukalos discuss the launch of the series, the success his so rightfully earned and his take on Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs) and whether they are benevolent or benevolent.

'Ancient Aliens' air Friday nights on the History Channel and streams the next day on the History App.
