Ep.21 Roswell: The Incident That Changed Everything
In July 1947 a mysterious object crashed on a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico sparking the infamous Roswell Incident. Initially reported as a flying saucer by the U.S. Army the debris of metallic fragments and strange materials was quickly reclassified as a weather balloon, fueling suspicions of a government cover-up. Locals claimed sightings of unusual craft and even alien bodies, though official reports dismissed these as misinformation. Decades later declassified documents tied the crash to Project Mogul, a secret Cold War surveillance program, but conspiracy theories persist linking the event to extraterrestrials and Area 51.

Mechanical clocks spun out of control, quartz watches lagged, communication systems failed, and the crew's bodies slowed as if trapped in a gravitational field. In this rare and deeply technical testimony, S...

In June 1947, a private pilot named Kenneth Arnold took off from Chehalis, Washington, on what should have been a routine search flight. He was looking for a downed aircraft near Mount Rainier, nothing unusual, just another day in the sky, the weather was clear, visibility was perfect. But what he saw that day would change the language we use to describe the unexplained forever.

Ep.19 The Ăngelholm UFO Landing 1946
In the summer of 1946, the skies over Scandinavia were alive with unexplained activity. Strange lights and cigar-shaped objects had been seen darting across the sky, often moving too fast and too precisely to be dismissed as meteors. They came without sound, left no debris, and vanished before they could be traced.
But in the Swedish town of Ăngelholm, just as that wave of sightings was peaking, something else happened, something far more direct.
A man claimed he didn't just see a strange object flying overhead. He said it landed. He said he approached i...
Ep.340 The Silent Machine
When Adrius stepped outside into the quiet night air, he wasnât expecting to see anything unusual. But there it was, hovering above the treetops. A large, matte black craft. It didnât move. It didnât make a sound. Its surface was smooth with brushed metal ridges, and on either side, two red lights glowed, stacked vertically like signals. Adrius had seen other things in the sky before. In London, three glowing orbs drifted through moonlit clouds that moved in unnatural patterns. A colleague later confirmed the same sighting. A few months after that, during lockdown, a craft appeared above...

These are descriptions from ancient Sanskrit texts, some written thousands of years ago. And they describe flying machinesâwith detail, mechanics, and battle capabilities that sound eerily modern.
