Jackalopes Explore: THE TEMPLE (Sri Vimana of Brihadeeswarar Temple)

In this awe-struck episode of Jackalopes Explore, Floyd, Emi, Steve, and Aaron travel deep into the heart of Tamil Nadu, India, to unravel the mysteries of the Sri Vimana of Brihadeeswarar Temple. Towering at over 200 feet, this ancient granite marvel isn’t just an architectural wonder—it’s a riddle carved in stone.

Why does this thousand-year-old temple defy gravity and time? How did its builders, in the 11th century, construct the massive Sri Vimana with no modern machinery—and why does the capstone weigh over 80 tons? The Jackalopes dive into theories ranging from ancient engineering mastery to cosmic alignments, vibrational energy, and even possible extraterrestrial influence.

From the sun perfectly crowning the temple to inscriptions that hint at forgotten knowledge, this episode explores whether the Brihadeeswarar Temple is merely a place of worship—or something far more powerful and otherworldly.

This week on Jackalopes Explore, Floyd, Emi, Steve, and Aaron dive headfirst into one of the strangest modern urban legends ever recorded — The Man From Taured. Who was the mysterious traveler that appeared at a Tokyo airport in the 1950s with a passport from a country that doesn't exist? Was it a government cover-up, a slip between parallel dimensions, or just an elaborate hoax?

The crew examines the origins of the story, theories from alternate realities to time travel, and how this bizarre tale has embedded itself in internet lore. Plus, they explore other similar “out-of-place person” encounters throughout history that might make you question the very fabric of reality.

Strap in — this one’s a passport stamp away from normal.

In this episode of Jackalopes Explore, Floyd, Emi, Steve, and Aaron dive into some of the most famous UFOs ever caught on video. They break down the mysterious 1960s UFO footage from Great Falls, Montana — one of the earliest and most debated sightings ever captured on film. The crew also revisits the now-declassified videos shown during recent U.S. Congressional hearings, featuring infrared footage from Navy fighter pilots chasing unidentified aerial phenomena that defy the laws of physics. Plus, they examine eerie new footage of triangle-shaped and pyramid-shaped UFOs spotted in the skies — are these military black projects or something not of this Earth? Get ready for lights in the sky, conspiracy breakdowns, and some good ol' speculative chaos.

In this episode of Jackalopes Explore, Floyd, Emi, Steve, and Aaron turn their attention to the skies over Colombia, where a recent video of a strange metallic orb—dubbed the “Buga Sphere”—has taken the internet by storm. Captured in broad daylight hovering eerily above Buga, this UFO has sparked debate, wonder, and a wave of theories.

The team breaks down the footage and photos, discussing whether this object could be a drone, advanced tech, or something entirely unknown. They also connect the Buga Sphere to a larger pattern of orb sightings around the world—floating metallic spheres seen by military pilots, caught on infrared cameras, and witnessed by civilians across continents.

Is this a new type of surveillance tech, or are we seeing a pattern of non-human intelligence showing itself? The Jackalopes dive into the history, science, and strangeness of these ever-watchful orbs.

Are some things just doomed from the start? In this episode of Jackalopes Explore, Floyd, Emi, Steve, and Aaron dive deep into the eerie world of curses—both legendary and unexplained.
