  • The Phoenix Lights

    The Phoenix Lights
    Aug 22 2025
    On March 13, 1997, thousands of people across Arizona saw strange lights in the sky. They became known as the Phoenix Lights and remain one of the most-documented UFO sightings in US history. But what really happened in the desert that night to convince so many people they'd witnessed something otherworldly? (Hint: it's never aliens) ** Video of the first v-shaped formation of lights: https://youtu.be/_JATvJNjD6s?t=81 Video of the second set of hovering/falling lights (which, upon watching again, really just look like they're turning on and off "mysteriously" thanks to 1997 camcorder technology): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvKLeaPWPyw ** WE WROTE A BOOK!

  • The Roswell Incident

    The Roswell Incident
    Jul 25 2025
    In this episode, we break down the details of what became one of the most famous UFO incidents to ever occur. Initially dismissed (and accepted by the public) in 1947 as a weather balloon, Roswell would rocket to fame over 30 years later when a former Air Force intelligence officer came forward to say that the whole thing was a cover-up for a crashed alien spaceship. We're here to tell you that there actually was a cover-up at Roswell, but not for the reasons the ufology community believes... (We were a little wordy in our intro for this episode, so if you'd like to skip it, the Roswell discussion starts at ~15:00 for those listening with ads and ~13:40 for those listening without) ** WE WROTE A BOOK!

    Jun 14 2025

  • The History & Science of UFOs

    The History & Science of UFOs
    Apr 4 2025
    In this episode, we're revisiting the UFO phenomenon by taking a detailed look at their history in the United States, and how we ended up with the UAPs of today. What did Kenneth Arnold actually see on that fateful day in 1947? Why would the Air Force ever think it was good idea to reassure the public about UFOs by naming one of their investigations "Project Grudge?" Why is the Western U.S. the best place to spot UFOs?
