In this episode we unravel the strange and captivating story of Boriska Kipriyanovich, the boy the world came to know as the “Child from Mars.” Born in 1996 in Volgograd, Russia, Boriska stunned journalists, scientists, and later the world with claims of a past life on Mars, a planet torn apart by nuclear war with its survivors forced to live underground. He spoke of advanced technology, space travel, ancient Earth civilizations like Lemuria, and even a secret mechanism hidden behind the ear of the Great Sphinx that, if opened, would change human life forever.

From his first appearance in Russian newspapers to the infamous 2007 Project Camelot interview to the global wave of tabloid headlines that carried his words across YouTube and social media, Boriska’s story has blurred the line between reality, myth, and modern folklore. But after the spotlight faded, questions lingered. Did he truly vanish, or did he simply step back into an ordinary life?

We piece together his journey from local curiosity to international phenomenon to enduring mystery, and ask the question at the heart of it all: was Boriska really remembering another world, or was he a mirror for our own fascination with secrets we want to believe?
