American Alchemy with Jesse Michels

Our American Alchemist this week is Charles Buhler.

Dr. Charles Buhler has run 2,000 vacuum chamber experiments showing a propellantless thrust force that persists after the power is switched off, and cannot be explained by ion wind, magnetic effects, or classical energy conservation. The input is pure electricity and the output is millinewtons of thrust counteracting gravity. He believes his work vindicates the legacy of midcentury antigravity pioneer Thomas Townsend Brown and will lead to the future of propellantless deep space travel.

Working with digitized plates from the Palomar Observatory taken before satellites even existed, Beatriz and her colleagues have identified over 100,000 transient light flashes brief, mirror-like reflections that appear and vanish within minutes. Their findings suggest that a significant percentage of these may be real, physical objects orbiting Earth long before the space age began.

Our American Alchemist this week is Dan Sherman. A former NSA electronic intelligence specialist who claims to have been part of a classified project called Project Preserve Destiny. A Cold War-era program designed to create Intuitive Communicators capable of relaying messages from non-human intelligences. Sherman reveals chilling details from his time inside NSA facilities: retina scans, blue vans, and underground “black box” rooms where soldiers were dosed, monitored, and trained to think in frequencies. His story winds from his mother’s reported abductions to advanced DARPA research in noise-cancellation technology, scalar physics, and remote-viewing experiments that blur the line betwee...

Our American Alchemist this week is Jason Reza Jorjani

What if reality isn’t just breaking down, but being reprogrammed?

In this deep, mind-bending conversation, Jason Reza Jorjani takes us through the hidden history of UFOs, the “Nordic control system,” and the trickster phenomena that blur the line between physics and magic. We explore Skinwalker Ranch anomalies that feel like edits to the “film” of reality, Landauer’s insight that data has measurable mass, and the terrifying prospect of an information catastrophe as humanity keeps producing more data.

From Descartes and Kant to Claude Shann...

We explore the hidden history of rocket science, intertwining themes of mysticism, occult practices, and the influence of non-human intelligence. 

We look at key figures like Jack Parsons and Edgar Mitchell, the occult obsessions of the Nazis, the esoteric dimensions of NASA's missions, and Russian Cosmism. 

Is there a cosmic purpose for humanity, culminating in the idea that the history of space exploration is not just a technical story, but one deeply rooted in consciousness and belief?

Our American Alchemist this week is Charles Hall.

Hall shares his extraordinary experiences with extraterrestrial beings known as the Tall Whites, detailing his time at Area 51 and interactions with various alien species. He challenges established scientific theories, particularly Einstein's relativity, with his Hall Photon Theory, suggesting that advanced alien technology operates on principles beyond human understanding. Hall discusses the implications of these interactions on human evolution and the nature of UFOs, providing insights into their design and propulsion systems. 

Hall invites us to imagine a future where humanity must expand its science, its spirit, and i...

Our American Alchemist this week is Dr. Gregory Rogers. He shares his extraordinary experiences as a chief flight surgeon for the US Air Force and NASA, including a shocking encounter with a UFO in 1992. He discusses the implications of David Grush's testimony regarding military involvement with alien technology, the role of EG&G in UFO research, and the mysteries surrounding Flight 19 and the Bermuda Triangle. The conversation delves into secrecy, disclosure, and the intersection of science and the unknown. This powerful exchange challenges us to confront the hidden truths behind UFOs, the burdens carried by those on the front...

In this episode of American Alchemy, Jesse Michels travels deep into Peru to investigate the infamous Nazca Mummies: three-fingered, three-toed beings that defy mainstream explanation. 

Backed by CT scans, genetic analysis, forensic experts, and firsthand access to the leading figures in this case, Jesse explores whether these beings are ancient humans, hybrid species, or something not of this Earth.

From rare metal implants fused to bone to claims of pregnant tridactyl beings, secret cave systems, and high-stakes political battles in Peru and Mexico, this is the most in-depth investigation yet. 

Along the way, Je...

Our American Alchemist this week is @Flying Lotus.

Our American Alchemist this week is Robert Salas. We dive into the alarming connection between UFO sightings and nuclear security, particularly focusing on the Malmstrom Air Force Base incident in 1967. 

Robert Salas, a former missile launch officer, recounts his experiences during a night when multiple missiles went offline, coinciding with reports of UFOs in the area. The discussion also touches on the Wall Street Journal's attempts to discredit Salas's account, the broader implications of UFOs on national security, and the ongoing stigma surrounding military personnel who witness such phenomena. 

We conclude with reflections on the cu...

Greg Bishop is the author of Project Beta: The Story of Paul Bennewitz, National Security, and the Creation of a Modern UFO Myth.

This conversation delves into the complex world of UFOs, focusing on Paul Bennewitz case. Bennewitz became embroiled in a web of disinformation and counterintelligence operations surrounding UFO phenomena. The discussion highlights the role of Kirtland Air Force Base in UFO lore, the psychological impacts of belief in UFOs, and the use of technology in research. It emphasizes the dangers of misinformation and the lasting legacy of Bennewitz's experiences in shaping UFO...

This episode dives deep into one of the most unsettling and enigmatic figures in American history, James Forrestal, the first U.S. Secretary of Defense, whose descent into paranoia and suspicious death still sparks intense speculation. Was Forrestal silenced over what he knew? Historian and researcher Richard Dolan shares how a single book launched his decades-long investigation into the UFO phenomenon, unraveling hidden threads in our historical narrative. We explore the infamous Majestic Documents, the debated authenticity surrounding them, and post WWII factions between the Air Force & Navy. The conversation moves into the murky waters of military secrecy, disinformation...

I sat down with award-winning investigative journalist Ross Coulthart for a deep and personal conversation about the UFO phenomenon, secrecy, and the weight of uncovering truths long hidden from the public. This is not just a story about sightings. It is about power, disinformation, and the people behind the scenes who have seen more than they were ever meant to.

One of Ross’s most powerful revelations centers around Nat Kobitz, former head of science and technology development for the U.S. Navy. Before he passed, Nat confirmed that the United States had recovered multiple non-human craft. He...

The Wall Street Journal just published a piece admitting past Pentagon deception about UFOs, while doubling down on dismissing real evidence. In this episode, I respond directly, breaking down why these media narratives mirror Cold War-era perception management and why Congress must demand transparency now. From Malmstrom to Byelokoroviche, the pattern is undeniable. The disinformation machine just changed suits.
