  • Ep 155 - Scott Deschaine | The Living Sky
    Could many of the UFOs seen around the planet actually be intelligent creatures that inhabit the sky? Is our atmosphere just another habitat for life? Filmmaker and researcher Scott Deschaine joins us to talk about this very possibility with his documentaries “Not Alone – The Life Above” and his latest, “The Cohoke Light.” We have an exciting conversation about the possibility of marine-like life living in our upper atmosphere and the connection it could have to “ghost lights” that are the stuff of legends and lore.

    BIO:
    For over 15 years, author and filmmaker Scott Deschaine has explored and promoted the hypothesis of The Living Sky – that Earth’s atmosphere may provide homes to a wide variety of living creatures. His landmark article on the topic called “The Sky is Alive” was featured in Fortean Times, the world’s foremost journal of strange phenomena. It was selected by the magazine as one of its top 40 articles for the celebration of its 40th anniversary. Deschaine helped lead an investigation into the mystery lights of Marfa, Texas for an episode of The Travel Channel’s “America Declassified”. Using cutting-edge technology, the team of researchers found evidence that the lights may actually be bioluminescence from unknown aerial organisms.
    His documentary Not Alone – The Life Above presents the hypothesis of atmospheric life through historic scientific evidence – actual footage of lifelike objects in Earth’s atmosphere recorded during many NASA space flights. The 2018 International UFO Congress awarded the film its EBE award for Best Short UFO Film. His new film “The Cohoke Light” presents the results of a year-long field study of a mystery light in rural eastern Virginia. Numerous witnesses describe their encounters for the film. Deschaine’s crew captured stunning footage that shows the Cohoke Light, like many other mystery lights around the planet, may actually be caused by bioluminescent aerial organisms.
    The hypothesis of atmospheric life has drawn praise from those familiar with mysteries of the sky. One former NASA engineer and UFO expert called it “interesting and well-reasoned”. After reviewing the NASA evidence, one pilot and aviation expert said he could think of no other logical explanation.
    Deschaine hopes to encourage the scientific community to explore the possibilities for life in the sky. He proposes surveying a range of potential habitats at all levels of the atmosphere for evidence of life. He predicts that in the very near future, careful study will reveal that the Living Sky plays a vital role in our planetary system and in mankind’s future.

    Sylvia True joined us to discuss her excellent book "Where Madness Lies." We talk about mental illness during the rise of the Nazi regime, eugenics, and how this played a part in Sylvia’s family.

Growing up with parents from different cultures, a mother who was a Swiss champion figure skater, and a father who was a theoretical nuclear physicist gave her varied and unique perspectives. During her summer breaks, Sylvia likes to travel to the Amazon with students and do research in the rainforest. She has raised two daughters, who are both pursuing their passions. Presently, she lives in Massachusetts with her husband and two very spoiled dogs, where she is a high school chemistry teacher.

  • Ep 152 - David Weiss | Flat Earth Theory
    Sit back and let your minds open because we are talking about the Flat Earth Theory with David Weiss. We like to sometimes have people on who may have different viewpoints from our own and see what they have to say. If you have been curious about how flat earth theorists arrive at their conclusions, David explains a lot of the common questions people have about the idea.
    Bio
    David Weiss is a renewable energy businessman and avid kiteboarder from the east coast. He always questioned the reality of the world he lives in. On September 11, 2001, he was heading out the door to fly out of LGA airport in NYC when he saw the news. From his location, he had a clear view across the long island sound of lower Manhattan and realized from that moment that what we are told by the MSM is not reality.
    He hosted a weekly podcast for 3 years called Deep Inside the Rabbit Hole which discussed many different deceptions that the mainstream media and “the powers that be” cast over the population. In early 2015 he started looking at what he thought was the most ridiculous topic – the flat earth. After trying to debunk it for several weeks he quickly became aware that our earth is stationary and flat and NASA is 100% a fraud. David makes short videos to give newbies to FE enough information to be willing to watch a longer more in-depth video. His YouTube channel is DITRH.

  • Ep 151 - Lionel Friedberg | African Shamanism

    In 1994, he underwent a "femba ritual" which is essentially an exorcism, by a sangoma (shaman) in Eswatini (Swaziland). Stick around for the last story Lionel tells because it's a shocker! Lionel is a fantastic speaker and we hope to have him back on again to talk about other strange things he has witnessed in his lifetime and in the world of filmmaking.

He later photographed 18 feature motion pictures as Director of Photography in South Africa and then expanded his career to directing numerous dramatic TV episodes as well as writing, photographing, and directing scores of documentaries and non-fiction productions.
    After a long and successful career running his own company as producer, writer, cinematographer, and director on a variety of productions in South Africa he moved to the United States in 1986. For the past 35 years, he has specialized in documentaries, filming all over the world and winning numerous awards. He has worked for the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), the National Geographic Society, Discovery Channel, Arts & Entertainment cable network (A&E), and others. He is the author of three non-fiction books and is a New York Times and Los Angeles Times bestselling author. He is a vegan, environmentalist, and supporter of numerous animal rights causes.
