Cowboy Colostrum: Get 25% Off Cowboy Colostrum with code JESSE at https://cowboycolostrum.com/jesse Brazil's former Defense Minister and current presidential candidate Aldo Rebelo confirms the country has had contact with non-human intelligence dating back to at least the 70’s. He says that in 1977, in Colares, UFOs were injuring civilians in the Amazon with burns, puncture wounds and blood loss serious enough to trigger a classified military investigation. In 1986, six fighter jets were scrambled against 21 unidentified craft detected by radar – the objects were flying at Mach 20+ and making right angle turns, maneuvers well beyond the capabilities of the most advanced craft today. He also confirms that the 1996 Varginha UFO crash occurred, that non-human beings were encountered, and says he fully believes the neurosurgeon who came face to face with one of them in a hospital bed. He also confirms the American military would have had an immediate strategic interest in the case. Rebelo says there is more classified information about these cases and others, and that they should be released alongside America's. Rebelo’s confirmation of the events at Varginha is the equivalent of former Defense Ministers in the United States like Robert Baker or Jim Mattis saying Roswell happened; its world history that can’t be walked back. And it ends decades of condescension and gaslighting from top ranking officials on this topic. -------------------------- Support Our Other Projects Below!

Jeremy Corbell, a filmmaker and investigative journalist known for his work on UFO disclosure, joins Jesse Michaels to discuss the evolving landscape of UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) investigations. The conversation covers whistleblowers like David Grusch and Matthew Brown, the credibility of Bob Lazar, and the existence of classified programs such as the so-called 'legacy program' and 'Project Rubik's Cube.' Corbell reveals insider knowledge about government concealment, disinformation campaigns, and the psychological toll on truth-tellers, while emphasizing the need for public pressure to force transparency.
According to evolutionary game theory, the probability that any organism's sensory system has evolved to perceive objective reality is precisely zero. Instead, perception is a species-specific interface shaped by fitness, not truth. A new mathematical framework called recursive trace logic suggests that consciousness — not space-time — is fundamental, and that our physical world is a 'headset' built from observer experiences, opening the door to a scientific revolution that unifies physics, AI, and even spiritual phenomena.
Lyn Buchanan, a former military remote viewer and inspiration for the film The Men Who Stare at Goats, shares his decades of experience in psychic espionage, alien contact, and government secrecy. He reveals how his poltergeist-like psychic abilities led to a classified military career, where he remotely viewed world leaders, alien bases, and future events—including predicting Chernobyl and witnessing Saddam Hussein’s hidden bunker. Buchanan also recounts a personal UFO abduction, learning to fly a craft, and being shown a control panel that later reappeared in a military hangar. He discusses the existence of a deep state, the convergence of remote viewing with extraterrestrial intelligence, and the ethical boundaries of psychic power.
This episode of American Alchemy argues that the U.S. government and private aerospace contractors are running a covert, parallel technological civilization involving psychic humans, reverse-engineered UFOs, and hidden underground bases — and that the real secret isn’t the aliens, but the suppressed potential of human consciousness. The truth is being disguised as fiction through a novel redacted by the Pentagon.
In 1976, four artists on a canoe trip in Maine’s Allagash Wilderness reported a close encounter with a luminous, silent craft that led to missing time and later, under hypnosis, detailed abduction memories involving medical examinations by gray beings with large eyes and four-fingered hands. Years later, physical anomalies emerged, including hair loss and tumors in identical locations on twin brothers, and profound shifts in their artistic and intellectual pursuits.
Andrea Puharich was a mid-century medical doctor and researcher who straddled the worlds of mainstream science, parapsychology, and intelligence operations—genuinely believing in telepathy and extraterrestrial contact while also engaging in CIA-backed mind control research involving voice-to-skull technology and hypnotic manipulation of psychic subjects known as the 'space kids'. His life remains a labyrinth of legitimate scientific inquiry, covert operations, and possible psychological warfare.
A former NSA director of research and a physician-scientist couple apply rigorous scientific methodology to UFOs, consciousness, and human biology, arguing that unexplained phenomena should excite scientists rather than be dismissed, and that reality is far stranger than current models suggest.
