Celebrity UFO Encounters
Do aliens seek out the rich and famous, or are they the ones pulling the strings in Hollywood? This week we explore the strange world of celebrity UFO sightings, from Kurt Russell being the first pilot to report the 1997 Phoenix Lights to Goldie Hawn’s “benevolent” encounter with silver beings in the back of a car. We also discuss Elvis’s telepathic visions, Dan Aykroyd’s run-in with a Man in Black, and John Lennon’s naked UFO spotting in New York City. Hosted on Acast.

The Varginha Incident
This week we’re traveling to 1996 Brazil to dive into the Varginha incident, famously known as "Brazil’s Roswell." Did a cigar-shaped craft crash in the mountains, leaving behind pieces of "memory metal" that defied the laws of physics? We discuss the three young women who came face-to-face with a brown, oily creature with three horns and glowing red eyes, and the tragic story of the military policeman who allegedly died after handling the being with his bare hands. Also, Tom explains why his podcasting skills make him the perfect candidate to lead the FBI, and we look into the recent string of disappearing scientists with high-level security clearance.

Levitation
It’s one of humanity's most elusive superpowers: levitation. This week dive into the life of St. Joseph of Cupertino, the 17th-century "Flying Friar" whose flights were witnessed by hundreds—including a stunned Pope Urban VIII—and eventually got him sequestered by a very skeptical Church.Also, Tom recounts a Transcendental Meditation training video featuring "yogic flying" that looked suspiciously like a room full of people hopping cross-legged on mattresses.

Bob Lazar is Full of Shit
Since 1989, Lazar has claimed he was recruited to reverse-engineer alien spacecraft at S4, a secret facility near Area 51, where he encountered a sleek "sports model" saucer powered by element 115. But is Bob Lazar a misunderstood genius whose records were scrubbed by the government, or is he just the UFO community’s most committed bullshitter?UFO Guy Bob Lazar’s Lifetime of Cons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPW6jr24FiQBelieving Bob Lazar - Part One - https://old.reddit.com/r/ufo/comments/o003pc/believing_bob_lazar_part_one_educational/More at https://medium.com/@signalsintelligence Hosted on Acast.

Havana Syndrome
This week we’re investigating the unsettling mystery of Havana Syndrome, the series of “Anomalous Health Incidents” that have plagued US diplomats and CIA agents around the globe. Is it a clandestine Russian microwave weapon that can fit in a backpack? We explore the history of the Moscow Signal, the terrifying potential of “voice to skull” technology, and why Laura Bush might have been an early target. Hosted on Acast.

Atlantis
It’s one of history's most enduring mysteries: the lost civilization of Atlantis. From a 19th century congressman who convinced Charles Darwin it was real, to psychic Edgar Casey predicting the discovery of an underwater stone road in the Bahamas decades before divers actually found it, to a 25-mile-wide circular formation in the Sahara that matches Plato's description almost exactly — the rabbit hole goes deep. Really deep. Like, possibly-under-Antarctica deep. We through the major theories: a pre-Ice Age global civilization wiped out by a comet, crystal-powered technology misused by the morally corrupt, a misremembered volcanic catastrophe, and of course, aliens setting up a base of operations on a nice island before conveniently flooding the evidence. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tulpas
This week, Tom and Laura are getting into tulpas — the ancient Tibetan practice of conjuring a living being purely through the power of concentrated thought. They explore how the concept traveled from Buddhist monasteries to 4chan forums (via a very unexpected My Little Pony detour), and discuss the modern "tulpamancer" community that's been trying to will fictional characters into existence ever since. They also dig into the Philip Experiment, a 1972 Toronto study in which a group of regular people invented a fictional 17th-century ghost and then tried to hold a séance with him — with some genuinely strange results. Plus, the Global Consciousness Project's claim that random number generators went haywire before the first plane hit on 9/11, Philip K. Dick's season pass to Disneyland and his very unexpected lunch companion, Alan Moore spotting John Constantine in a sandwich shop, and a comics writer who may have accidentally manifested an armed robbery straight out of a scene he'd just finished writing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Black Knight Satellite
This week we’re covering the legend of the Black Knight Satellite, a purported alien object that has supposedly been orbiting Earth for 13,000 years. Was it the source of the mysterious radio signals Nikola Tesla found in 1899? Did NASA lie about the photo it took of it in 1998? Did a scientist decode its radio signal to find a map of the star system Epsilon Boötis? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
