Project Looking Glass: Timelines, Gray Aliens, And The Mandela Effect
Send a textAfter 1999, time starts feeling… off. And sure, that could be the trauma of dial-up internet and frosted tips—but it also lines up with one of the wilder ideas in modern UFO lore: Project Looking Glass. The story goes that somewhere inside a black-budget world, insiders got their hands on a consciousness-driven device (possibly tied to recovered UFO tech) that could “view” potential futures — not one fixed outcome, but branching probability timelines. And weirdly, a lot of those timelines allegedly kept converging on one date: 2012.So we dig in. Where does this story even come from? Why do Sumerian cylinder seals keep getting dragged into it? How does a “future-viewing” machine supposedly work if your beliefs can affect what you see? And if powerful people thought they were staring at a looming disaster — would that justify doing absolutely unhinged things in the present to steer the timeline?From there, the rabbit hole splits into two big lanes: a slow awakening toward transparency and higher consciousness… or a darker path where things collapse and the Grays show up in the worst way. We also hit the Mandela Effect, is it “timeline residue,” or just normal brain stuff + cultural telephone game? Either way, it gets spicy.Expect Y2K dread, the alleged 1999 “shift,” factions of future humans (because of course), and the claim that Looking Glass was dismantled and hidden so nobody could boot it back up. Plus: listener mail on Operation Highjump logistics, and a quick Socorro UFO quiz to tee up what’s coming next.

The Mothman Legend: Cryptid, Harbinger of Doom, and Unexpected Sex Icon
Send us a textIn this episode, we dive deep into the legend of the Mothman: the original sightings near the eerie TNT area, the wave of UFO reports and Men in Black encounters that followed, and the unsettling feeling that something strange was unfolding in the Ohio River Valley.We explore how a quiet Appalachian town became the epicenter of a full-blown paranormal flap, thanks in part to journalist Mary Hyer and investigator John Keel, whose book The Mothman Prophecies transformed local fear into global mythology. We also confront the tragedy that forever intertwined the legend with real-world loss: the catastrophic collapse of the Silver Bridge, which claimed 46 lives and cemented Mothman’s reputation as a harbinger of doom.And then, because the internet exists, we talk about how Mothman somehow became a festival mascot, a tourism icon, and—against all odds—a cryptid sex symbol.Video:ICEBERG: The Mothman Mystery Gets Even Creepier!The Terrifying Story Of The Mothman Of Point Pleasant Support the showWhere to find us: Website: aliens.buzzsprout.com Instagram: aliens_yes_but_maybe_no Text Us
The Grinning Man: The Unsettling Story of Indrid Cold
Send us a textIn 1966, traveling salesman Woodrow Derenberger claimed he encountered a smiling, telepathic being on a dark West Virginia highway. Unfortunately for him, it was an encounter that would spiral into years of alleged visits, alien worlds, public harassment, Men in Black sightings, and the collapse of his personal life. We're diving into the deeply unsettling case of Indrid Cold, better known as The Grinning Man—a figure who looks human, speaks without moving his mouth, and doesn't fit any one description.But Indrid Cold isn't just isolated to one case. There are reports of other grinning figures in different states, strange phone calls, unexplained lights, and a broader wave of high strangeness spreading across West Virginia. One investigator, John Keel, begins to suspect that this isn’t an alien story at all, but something stranger: an ultraterrestrial, a being not from another planet, but from somewhere overlapping our reality.In this episode, we discuss:The original highway encounter and why it feels so wrongThe rise of the Grinning Man sightings beyond West VirginiaWhy Indrid Cold triggers such a strong uncanny valley responseThe ultraterrestrial theory and how it reframes the entire caseSkeptical explanations, psychological interpretations, and hoax concernsHow folklore, culture, and media helped turn Indrid Cold into modern mythWas Indrid Cold an extraterrestrial explorer? An interdimensional observer? A psychological break under extreme pressure? Or the modern face of an ancient archetype that’s been with us far longer than we realize.Support the showWhere to find us: Website: aliens.buzzsprout.com Instagram: aliens_yes_but_maybe_no Text Us
High Strangeness in Antarctica

Majestic 12: The Men Behind The UFO Cover-Ups
Send us a textA roll of film shows up in a Hollywood mailbox. The frames develop into “Top Secret Majic Eyes Only” pages that name presidents, spymasters, and scientists—and claim a secret committee has managed America’s UFO story since 1947. We dig into Majestic 12 with fresh eyes, tracing the thread from Roswell and EBEs (Extraterrestrial Biological Entity) to alleged treaties with Greys, underground facilities, and black projects at Groom Lake that fuel Area 51 legends. Along the way, we confront the uncomfortable heart of the story: disinformation as a deliberate strategy.We walk through the 12 people attributed to MJ‑12. To name a few, Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, Vannevar Bush, James Forrestal, Hoyt Vandenberg... And why the 12 names give the documents gravity. Then we put the papers under a forensic lamp: cloned signatures, anachronistic typefaces, mismatched executive order numbers, and the “limited hangout” idea where truth is salted with fakes to mislead. Admissions from figures like William Moore and Richard Doty complicate the picture, while partially redacted FBI records and the real MAJESTIC classification keep curiosity alive. Whether you see a sprawling hoax or a shielded program, the case becomes a masterclass in media literacy and open‑source sleuthing.Our goal isn’t to crown a winner between belief and doubt. It’s to help you navigate the fog—how to evaluate provenance, spot red flags, and think clearly when authority, secrecy, and mythology collide. If you’re here for Roswell lore, Greys, underground bases, and Cold War psyops, you’ll find plenty to chew on. If you’re here to understand how narratives are shaped and weaponized, MJ‑12 is a near‑perfect study. Hit play, then tell us where your needle lands: truth, hoax, or an infuriating mix of both.
