What made the mysterious project leader “Axel Rod” suddenly pull a remote viewer out of his session, then take him hiking through the wilderness to an undisclosed location where they had to remain silent? Hear the impossible-sounding details of governmental remote viewing projects in which figures like Ingo Swann and Pat Price were tasked with looking at otherworldly events. Is alien activity the real reason why people go missing in Alaska?

About 20,000 people have disappeared from Alaska since 1970. This is a massive number for such a sparsely populated state; it’s over double the national average. Some might write that off, considering the conditions in Alaska are so cold and treacherous. But considering its size and population, which is only about 733,000 people, the amount of UFO sightings is staggering—with some sources saying there are well over 6500 reported sightings of UFOs.

Compare this number to one of the most populated states in America, Florida, which in 2015 only had about 5,100 UFO sightings. Then, this Alaska number gets even more curious. Hear the story of three teenaged Anchorage girls who saw a “disc-shaped object” above an Air Force base. Learn the story of a former wilderness guide in Ketchikan who saw a “cauldron of molten metal” one day near his house. Join investigative researcher Rob Counts and remote viewer John Vivanco for a metaphysical show that’s out of this world.

In this episode, Rob and John discuss cattle mutilations’ strange characteristics, Native American UFO sightings, and more. Rob and John’s biggest question they attempt to answer in this episode is, “What the heck is going on in Alaska?”

[Part 6] Do dolphins have greater interdimensional knowledge of the universe—and do they want to share it with humanity? Do orcas and cetaceans have a greater level of self awareness and even compassion than we previously knew? Remote viewing data, telepathy research, and sonic experiments turn up surprising results about animal consciousness. Find out where dolphins are really from, why they’re even here, and where the root of dolphin consciousness may start. All of this and more is in this episode with remote viewer John Vivanco and investigative researcher Rob Counts. You’ll find out that dolphins may just be more “out of this world” than this Metaphysical episode.

Was Dr. Paul Spong’s unconventional research into orcas the start of something groundbreaking when it came to conscious and subconscious minds of humans and dolphins? Why was he so shocked that his entire worldview changed overnight? What did John Vivanco’s remote viewing team see about dolphins’ intuition when they looked at them? How is the electromagnetic spectrum integral to understanding more about these cetaceans? Do dolphins actually let themselves get captured, and do they like humans a little too much? Remote viewing data and investigative research combine once again.

[Part 5] The CIA trained dolphins to be spies in multiple secret projects throughout the 1960s. Were real dolphin encounters the inspiration behind mainstream television shows like Flipper?

Hear John Vivanco’s remote viewing data on dolphins’ and whales’ minds, Rob Counts’ investigative research into telepathy and clandestine government research, and more. Tune in for another metaphysical show that’s out of this world.

Also in this episode: Animal behavior just got a whole lot stranger. The Central Intelligence Agency of the United States (a.k.a. the CIA) provided materials for the Dolphin Training Project, Project OXYGAS. What did the chairman of the CIA’s technical requirements board officially approve—in writing—that the agency fund and support? Hear everything Rob and John found in the declassified document that details an unusual request. Why were bottlenose dolphins really trained to complete some covert and very illicit tasks? Is it a coincidence that major and deadly weapons development was underway at the time, or that the United States, Soviet Union, and communist China were in competition? Hear speculation about what the dolphin saboteurs were being trained to do.

Can animals really effectively participate in intelligence collection, and are they the perfect innocent-seeming spies or just wild animals? Which United States military branch appears to still have a dolphin program to this day? When John Vivanco’s remote viewing team looked at dolphins, what startling information did they get back from these beguiling sea animals? Why have some killer whales in modern times started attacking humans’ boats, and why is that so odd? Can a metaphysical discussion on telepathy, Atlanteans’ cultivated superpowers, and government operations get any more interesting than this?

[Part 3] A creature with the body of an otter, the bill and feet of a duck, and the tail of a beaver sounds like a mythical creature or chimera. That’s what people once thought the platypus was, and boy is it a weird one. And it’s not the only animal with weird characteristics. Why are the capuchin monkeys of Costa Rica enthralling scientists with their “bonding” behavior, and why does no one know why they spend hours doing this strange activity each day?
