On a dark night in November 1975, a seven-man logging crew was traveling the back roads of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in Arizona when they saw a glowing craft hovering over the trees. They drove closer to see it better, and when they did, one man jumped out to get even closer. As he approached, a blue-green beam of light fired from the craft, striking the man and throwing him to the ground. Convinced their friend was dead, the rest of the crew sped away, fleeing the scene. What followed was an exhaustive search operation that found no trace of the man, and a police investigation of the crew for the possible homicide of the missing logger.
Then, five days later, the missing man called from a pay phone along a highway, disoriented and traumatized, and had no memory of the time he was gone. This week, we’re jumping into one of the most well-known cases in ufology. We’ll look at the night in question, the search and investigation, the man’s return, what memories he recovered through hypnosis, the skeptics who tried to tear him down, and finally the theories as to what really happened in those dark woods in the fall of 1975. Join me this week as we examine The Travis Walton Abduction!

In 1943, the US Navy conducted an experiment that some believe pushed the bounds of reality. According to legend, when they attempted to make a ship invisible, they accidentally teleported it away and back, leading to horrifying repercussions for the men aboard.
Over 40 years later, a man named Preston Nichols began recovering repressed memories of a secret government project at an officially abandoned Cold War facility, working to amplify psychic abilities in hopes of unlocking mind control and time travel. It sounded far-fetched until more men came forward. This week, we’ll examine both of these events, how they may be connected, and whether or not to believe either of them actually took place. Join us, as we examine both the Philadelphia Experiment and the Montauk Project!

What if mankind were not the first advanced civilization on Earth? Would we be able to detect the remnants of a culture a million years before our own? A 2018 paper authored by an astrophysicist and a climate scientist asked these questions and presented the evidence we might look for. Massive carbon spikes in the geological record from industrial emissions. Atomic signatures of nuclear activity from a billion years ago. Both sound impossible, except that we have found both of those exactly. We’ll cover the men behind the paper, the hypothesis itself, how the evidence lines up with the biggest anomalies in the geological record, and try to decide if an advanced pre-human civilization really walked the earth. Join us as we examine The Silurian Hypothesis!

Tune in for our next exciting episode! In the fall of 1903, the town of Van Meter, Iowa, was plagued by a menacing creature. It was 8 feet tall, bat-winged, with a beak and a glowing horn that could emit dazzling beams of light. Multiple witnesses fired upon the strange interloper, to seemingly no effect, save for an intense disarming odor that it seemed to use as a defense. With little recourse left, the residents of Van Meter organized and went on the offensive. We’ll tackle one of the most bizarre pieces of American Cryptozoology, covering the sightings, the creature, the local response, and the theories. Join us this week as we examine The Van Meter Visitor!

Tune in for our next exciting episode! In December of 1980, two women and a child drove along a rural highway in east Texas, when they saw a bright light. They thought it was a star until they rounded a bend and were face to face with a glowing diamond shaped craft. The craft put off extreme heat and after a few minutes, took off over the trees, followed by military type helicopters. Over the next few weeks the witnesses experienced symptoms of radiation exposure, such as blistered and burned skin, vomiting, muscle weakness and hair loss. They were convinced the government knew something about the craft, and took them to court. Join us this week as we examine The Cash Landrum UFO Incident!

In December of 1900, three men were tasked with manning the remote lighthouse of Eilean Mor in the Flannan Isles off the northwest coast of Scotland. When a passing ship reported the light to be out, a team was sent to investigate. They discovered the lighthouse in neat order, nothing out of place, and with no sign of a struggle, yet completely abandoned. The disappearance of the three men became one of the most enduring mysteries in Scottish history. We’ll look at a timeline of the events, the men, how they were found to be missing, and the theories about their ultimate fate.

We are back! From 1764 to 1767, a large wolf-like creature prowled the rural French countryside. Witnesses described it as being much larger than a normal wolf and having characteristics not typical of native species. By the time it was hunted down and killed, it had attacked and devoured more than 100 victims. We’ll look at the timeline of attacks, the efforts to hunt the beast, how the military got involved, and the theories as to what it could have been. Join us as we examine The Beast of Gevaudan!

On a summer night in 1955, a rural farming family in Kentucky saw a UFO streak across the sky and disappear behind the trees not far from their farmhouse. Soon after, they were besieged by nearly a dozen short, metallic-skinned, yellow-eyed, goblin-like creatures. They defended their home with firearms, but the bullets had little to no effect on the strange invaders. Several hours and four boxes of ammo later, they ran for the police station for help; little did they know their nightmare was far from over. We’ll cover the night in question, the investigation, and how the family was treated.

For as long as there have been books, there have been rumors of books containing arcane knowledge that have been lost to the ages. When Wilfrid Voynich received a load of books in a sale from the Jesuit Order in 1912, he took a particular interest in one specific text. The book was written in an unknown and seemingly indecipherable language and contained illustrations of plants and constellations that match none known to science. Researching the book, he found that its mysteries went back centuries, with multiple learned people of their eras trying and failing to decode the strange text. Is it the most carefully crafted hoax in history, a medical guide encoded to protect controversial information, or just fanciful gibberish? To this day, it has resisted all modern attempts at decryption. Join us this week, as we examine The Voynich Manuscript!

In October of 1978, Frederick Valentich flew from the mainland of Australia to a nearby island. Along the way, he encountered an aircraft that began following him. He radioed to air traffic control, but they said nothing was supposed to be there. When asked if he could identify the craft, he merely replied, “It’s not an aircraft.” Then his voice cut off, and all that was heard was a metallic scraping noise. No one ever saw him or his plane ever again. We’ll explore who Frederick Valentich was, what happened, and the theories. Join us as we dive deep into The Disappearance of Frederick Valentich!

From 1953 to 1973, the CIA conducted experiments to see if they could break down a human mind and rebuild it to their own liking, though the use of hallucinogenics, sensory deprivation, and torture. What was even more disturbing was that they decided to conduct these experiments on American citizens. Join us as we probe the depths of the MK Ultra experiments!

This week, we travel to the lonely backroads of a small town in southeast Wisconsin. From the late 80’s till modern day, people have reported seeing a large, bipedal, wolf-like creature.

We’ll cover the sightings, the theories, and the intrepid reporter whose life changed after investigating it. This week, we cover The Beast of Bray Road!

On the next episode, we’re diving deep into a mystery that goes back to the dawn of man, and beyond. Join me, as we discuss The Artificial Moon Theory!

In the summer of 1817, a farmer in rural Tennessee shot at a strange animal he saw on his land.
