Into The Parabnormal

Top-secret flights to Area 51 and controversy over a recent UFO crash have renewed speculation about what is really happening at the U.S. military base in the Nevada desert. While it has historically been used for testing advanced aircraft, claims of UFOs and aliens, underground facilities, and government cover-ups have clouded its image. Jeremy welcomes Donald Schmitt and Jim Goodall to discuss what goes on at Area 51 and the secrets that could be housed within.

We look back at some of the parabnormal stories of the year: renewed efforts to release the JFK files; alleged discoveries beneath the Giza pyramids and under the ice of Antarctica; a revived search for Flight MH370 along with viral claims it was swallowed by a wormhole; blueprints purportedly showing the reverse-engineering of a UFO; a flight surgeon says he witnessed non-human technology in the government’s possession; the suspicious death of a paranormal investigator while touring with the infamous Annabelle doll; and the year’s most talked-about mystery of all — interstellar object 3I/ATLAS.

The events that put Britain on the UFO map unfolded in late December 1980 in Rendlesham Forest on England’s east coast when U.S. Air Force personnel reported encounters with strange lights or craft over several nights. Jeremy welcomes retired USAF officer John Burroughs to discuss what he and fellow servicemembers witnessed, the lasting health effects, and what he believes is a secretive race to master UAP technology. Mark Christopher Lee revisits the incident and explores other strange activity that has happened at Rendlesham in the 45 years since those sightings.

The Pentagon's UAP office has released newly declassified videos showing anomalous objects, most of which remain unidentified after review. Jeremy welcomes Greg Cisko to discuss MUFON's analysis of UFO videos and the challenges with some of these clips. Plus, Trevor Doyle Nelson talks about how his lifelong obsession with aliens and UFOs caught the attention of the cast of the film, "Bugonia", and Hollywood's role in ushering in disclosure.

Toxins are turning up in everyday household products including those made for children. As parents shop for the perfect Christmas gift, many may unknowingly be exposing their kids to serious health risks. Jeremy welcomes David Steinman to discuss how some manufacturers continue to use harmful materials in their products and what parents can do to protect their little ones from these hidden dangers.

One of the all-time classic UFO cases happened 60 years ago this week in rural Pennsylvania when witnesses reported seeing a fiery object shaped like an acorn streak across the sky and crash into the woods. Witnesses to the event were reportedly kept out of the area by armed personnel. Jeremy welcomes John Ventre to discuss the 1965 Kecksburg incident and what his research suggests may be the most likely explanation.

An area known as "The Meadow" in America's Southland is said to be a hotspot for high strangeness where reality seems to bend, logic doesn't always apply, and even veteran investigators are left shaken. Jeremy welcomes Trey Hudson to discuss the bizarre encounters reported there and the similarities that the phenomena share with other mysterious locations. And what's the current buzz on the odds of alien contact plus an update on comets passing through our solar system.

The discovery of unusual rocks on Mars including one that may contain signs of ancient life, a square-shaped "structure" on the surface and other strange discoveries on the Red Planet are making us once again wonder if these came to be artificially. Jeremy welcomes George J. Haas to discuss his scientific research into Martian anomalies and what they might reveal about the possibility of long-lost civilizations.

Access to food being cut off for millions during the government shutdown was a stark reminder of how quickly a crisis can unfold. The disruption underscored the fragility of a system in which tens of millions rely on. Jeremy welcomes David DuByne to discuss whether the SNAP disruption may have been a trial run for a prolonged scenario, society’s dependence on government food programs, and the growing push toward synthetic foods.

New images of an interstellar object that’s passing through our solar system have been released by NASA while the agency is downplaying speculation that 3I/ATLAS is anything more than a comet. Jeremy welcomes Marc D’Antonio to discuss why this object is almost certainly natural in origin, the unique scientific opportunities it presents, and how we can best search for celestial bodies.
