Did they have contact with an actual extraterrestrial? In the second half of the show, Zach shares the infamous 1561 celestial phenomenon over Nuremberg. What took place over the city skies? Did the citizens of Nuremberg witness an actual UFO battle? And what did newspapers from the day have to say about it? Find out this week!  

Jack Parsons, the inspiration for Iron Man and devotee of Aleister Crowley, was a brilliant loner genius who revolutionized Jet Propulsion and Rocket Science. Without him, NASA would have never gotten off the ground. But without Magick and Thelema, Jack Parsons would never have come up with groundbreaking discoveries. Join the boys this week as they go out to the American Southwest and learn a thing or two about Rockets, Magick, Scientology and espionage. 

Pumapunku and Sanxingdui are two ancient archaeological sites shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Pumapunku, located in Bolivia, is believed to have been built by the Tiwanaku people over 1,000 years ago. Sanxingdui, located in China, dates back over 3,000 years and is thought to have been built by the Shu culture.

In this episode, we explore the fascinating mysteries surrounding the construction and origin of these two sites. Pumapunku's complex stonework and precise engineering have led many to believe it was built by an advanced civilization or even extraterrestrial beings. Sanxingdui's stunning bronze artifacts and unusual sculptures have also sparked speculation about the culture that created them.

We delve into the theories surrounding the construction and purpose of these sites, including the possibility of ancient aliens, lost civilizations, and advanced technologies. We also discuss the challenges archaeologists face in studying and preserving these ancient sites.

The Large Hadron Collider has been the source of conspiracy theories from the moment it launched. Actually, from even before that. From time travelers to aliens, from black holes to sinister plots to take over the world. This week's Crackpot episode has it all!

Ouija boards are a type of board game typically used as a tool for communicating with the spirit world. The board itself is usually a flat board with letters of the alphabet, numbers, and other symbols printed on it, along with a planchette, which is a heart-shaped or triangular device with a small window in the center. The players place their fingers on the planchette, which then moves around the board to spell out words, phrases, or answer yes-or-no questions.

While many people believe that Ouija boards can be used to communicate with spirits, some people use them as a form of divination or to contact deceased loved ones. 

A simple board game or a powerful tool to communicate with spirits? Tune in this week to hear real Ouija stories and how these interesting “games” rose to prominence. 

Leslie Kean published a groundbreaking book in 2010 detailing reports of the UFO phenomena by government officials around the world.

What have they experienced? And what have officials determined? Tune in this week to find out!

Recorded in early 2024...how close were we?

The boys revisit one of their favorite topics: BIGFOOT. This week Tim shares the infamous Ape Canyon bigfoot attack in which miners in the pacific northwest were attacked by - you guessed it - a group of bigfoot! While it may seem like an easy one to dismiss or chalk up to legend, keep in mind there’s an actual canyon named after the incident. So clearly there’s something to it. Tune in this week to find out!

This week Zach and Tim talk about the Heaven’s Gate suicide cult. They dive into the history of their charismatic leader and what the cult actually believes, including but not limited to: UFO’s and their own offbrand denomination of Christianity. You won’t want to miss this one, as we guarantee that even if you remember this happening in the late 90s, you probably don’t know half of this wild story.

Dr. Salvatore Pais, a renowned aerospace engineer, has gained significant attention for his groundbreaking inventions that blur the lines between science fiction and reality. These patents, filed on behalf of the US Navy, describe revolutionary technologies that seem straight out of a sci-fi movie. They hint at advanced propulsion systems, anti-gravity devices, and even the possibility of bending space-time.

As we delve into the details of these patents, we'll discuss their potential implications for the future of aerospace technology. Are these inventions the key to unlocking interstellar travel or advanced military capabilities? Could they be connected to reported sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) that have baffled experts for decades?
