Colonel Theodore Westhusing was a decorated U.S. Army officer, a scholar, and a man deeply committed to ethics and honor. But in June 2005, his life came to an abrupt and suspicious end. Officially ruled a suicide, his death in Iraq raised more questions than answers. Why would a man at the height of his career, weeks away from returning home, suddenly take his own life?

In this episode, we examine the anomalies surrounding Westhusing’s death, from the cryptic note left behind to the troubling reports of corruption he uncovered within military contracting. Could his commitment to integrity have made him a target? Did he uncover something that powerful figures didn’t want exposed? We’ll explore the theories—both official and unofficial—that continue to fuel speculation about what really happened to Theodore Westhusing.

Tune in as we unravel one of the most unsettling military deaths of the Iraq War.

In the late 1940s, the skies over America became the stage for a series of baffling aerial encounters that defied explanation. In this episode, we dive into three of the most famous UFO incidents of the era: the Gorman Dogfight of 1948, where a seasoned pilot engaged in a dangerous midair chase with an unidentified object over North Dakota; the Mantell UFO Incident, in which a Kentucky Air National Guard pilot tragically lost his life while pursuing a mysterious craft; and the Chiles-Whitted Encounter, a chilling case involving two airline pilots who reported a glowing, cigar-shaped UFO hurtling past their commercial flight.

Were these encounters misidentified earthly aircraft, classified military experiments, or something more extraordinary? Join us as we explore the facts, theories, and lingering questions surrounding these early UFO encounters that helped shape modern-day ufology.
