February 21, 2023 Chinese Spy Balloon
With all the speculation and conspiracy theories that are floating around out there about the Chinese spy balloon, I thought that it would be appropriate for me to devote this episode of ParaReality to looking at some of the more popular theories, and give you my opinion of what’s really going on here.
UFO fever has gripped the US again after four incursions, including the Chinese spy balloon, were shot down this month. President Biden and other top Washington officials have said little about the repeated shoot-downs, which began with the suspected spy balloon. And some have not ruled out the possibility of aliens making contact, with conspiracy theories and speculations running wild as officials keep quiet.
There will be an investigation and we will learn more, but until then this story has created a playground for people interested in speculating or coming up with all kinds of conspiracy theories.This is because, in part, it feeds into so many narratives about government secrecy.

February 04, 2023 Missing 411 The UFO Connection Review
David Paulides is a former police officer who is now an investigator and writer known primarily for the Missing 411 conspiracy theory. Missing 411 is a series of books and films, which document cases of people who have gone missing in national parks and elsewhere, and maintain that these cases are unusual and mysterious.
In his latest documentary, Missing 411, The UFO Connection, Paulides investigates cases of elk hunters who've gone missing from specific regions of North America, and explores the theory that there could be a connection between these disappearances and sightings of UFOs.
On tonight's episode, I'm joined in the Secret Bunker by Eric, from World We Live In podcast, and he and I will break down Paulides' latest documentary and discuss the cases ourselves. We will give our opinions on whether or not these cases have merit and if Paulides is grasping at straws or is really onto something.

January 21, 2023 WEF Conspiracy Theories
More than 2,700 leaders across politics and business have gathered in Davos, Switzerland, for an annual conference called the World Economic Forum. It’s been going on since 1971, and this year’s theme is 'Cooperation in a Fragmented World.' The meeting, which "allows some degree of coordination among elites," has long been targeted by conspiracy theorists. The theories reached a fever pitch after Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, published a book titled 'COVID-19: The Great Reset' in 2020.
Never heard of the World Economic Forum? Never heard of Davos, Switzerland for that matter? Do you know what The Great Reset is? Well don’t worry, because if you’ve never heard about those things, I’m going to be telling you about them tonight. You’ll learn all about the WEF, and the two big conspiracy theories that go along with it. To learn more, you’ll have to Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out!

January 15, 2023 Government UFO Committees
UFOs or UAPs as they have become to be known, have become quite a popular topic since the US government, in 2017, released several pieces of previously classified footage of unidentified objects flying through the sky. Back in mid-2022, it was announced that three major US organizations, one of them from the government, had been formed to investigate UAP sightings further, and hopefully answer the question, “Are we alone in the universe?” On tonight’s episode, I’ll be telling you about these organizations, who they are, and what they hope to accomplish.

November 05, 2022 Strange UFO Encounters
There are so many UAP stories going around these days that it’s hard to differentiate between what’s real and a hoax. Stories of being medically experimented on, being tied down on an alien craft, or being taken without knowledge make up just some of these stories. The ten people on this episode experienced those things and more. Their encounters didn’t turn out bad. Their encounters were frightening, for sure, but they seemed to end rather… weird. It was almost like having a nightmare—scary while you’re in it, but it’s fine when you wake up. Whether you believe it or not, these encounters are their truth.

October 22, 2022 Cryptobotanic Creatures
Last episode I introduced you to Cryptobotany in my Cryptobotany 101 class. You learned what Cryptobotany is and learned about 5 Cryptobotanical plants that like to eat animals as well as us humans. Those are 5 plants that you definitely want to stay away from.
Tonight, I’ll be teaching Cryptobotany 102 – nature-based Cryptids. You’ll be learning about 5 Cryptids that are nature-based. By that I mean that these Cryptids are connected to Mother Earth in some fashion or maybe even sprang from the earth itself. I know the idea sounds kind of far-fetched, but then again, everything that I talk about on this podcast is far-fetched, so the idea that there are creatures out there who are closely connected to, or sprang from Mother Nature herself shouldn’t be a big surprise to you.

October 08, 2022 Cryptobotany
Cryptozoology, or “cryptids” for short, has fascinated humankind for thousands of years, beginning as early as the 15th century BCE. While media has glamorized the field, drawing images of wild-eyed creature-hunters chasing anomalous beasts into the night, cryptozoology is really just the study of unknown, legendary, or extinct animals whose existence or survival is disputed or unsubstantiated.
But reports of strange organisms don’t stop at the animal variety. Enter cryptobotany (sometimes also called cryptophytology), or simply the study of plant cryptids. Just like its animal counterparts, this field of study focuses on the bizarre plants of folklore and legend that have evaded scientific confirmation. While there may not be any captivating security camera footage or blurry photographs of these elusive plants, some reports are surprisingly compelling.

September 13, 2022 Yuba County 5 - The Theories
Tonight’s episode is the third, and final, episode in a three-part series on the Yuba County Five. On the last two episodes, I’ve told you a little about The Boys, as they were called, and their mental disabilities, the trip they took and their disappearance. I’ve also taken a look at some of the evidence that was left behind and discussed my primary suspect, Joseph Schons. Tonight, I’ll finish up by going over my top six theories of what happened to The Boys.

September 03, 2022 Yuba County 5 - The Evidence
In part one, I described "The Boys" to you and gave you a little bit of their backgrounds. I described their disappearance and where their bodies were discovered as well as their condition. In this part, I'll go over some of the evidence and discuss the one person who is my main suspect in the case.
Just exactly how The Boys got to the Forest Ranger's trailer is a big mystery in itself. There was anywhere between 3 and 6 feet of snow the night they disappeared on that mountain. Also, they had to hike over 10 miles (some say up to 19) up the mountain, in the snow, at night, with no light source, in unfamiliar territory, wearing clothes that weren't suited for such a situation. How did they find the trailer? Did they know it would be there, or did they simply get lucky? Why didn't they eat all the food, start a fire or turn on the propane heater? Why did they leave one of them in the trailer to die alone?
The main "witness", (and suspect", Joseph Schons claims that he saw them that night. He supposedly was on the very same road, just down from their car. He claims that his own car was stuck in the snow and he was also having a "heart attack," yet was able to get out of his car and call on them for help. They didn't answer, according to him.
The rest of his story doesn't add up, either. Schons was a pathological liar and drug dealer. Perhaps he couldn't help himself but to tell a lie? Maybe he wanted his fifteen minutes of fame? Or, maybe he was in the middle of a drug deal and was trying to draw attention away from it. He's the only one that knows the truth.

August 27, 2022 Yuba County 5 - The Disappearance
On a cold winter night in 1978, five men from Yuba County, California traveled to nearby Chico to see a UC Davis Aggies basketball game. None of them returned. What should have been a quick road tripturned into a mystery that has lasted for over 40 years. Their car was found abandoned 2.5 hours away in the opposite direction that would have taken them home. Their disappearance has baffled law enforcement for decades and the mystery has never been solved.
In this first of a three-part series, I'll be telling you a little background on the missing men, as well as discussing the disappearance itself. Were they lost? Were they kidnapped? Were they running/hiding from someone or something? I'll do my best to answer these questions and more as I investigate The Yuba County Five!
