Ancient mysteries, zombi worms, UFOs and Nazi underground bases fill out this inaugural 2015 episode of the weekly Gralien Report Podcast.

This post, 01.05.15. Ancient Mysteries on The Gralien Report Podcast, first appeared at The Gralien Report.

In our inaugural broadcast of 2015, the boys in the bunker examine claims of ancient mysteries in the news, which include the controversial announcement at a Science Congress in Mumbai, India over the weekend that the history of aviation began in ancient India, rather than at Kitty Hawk with the Wright Brothers’ historic flight. We also check in with letters from the listenership that discuss strange objects seen over California; are they “stealth blimps,” meteors, or something else?

Then in the second hour, we take the conversation from the depths of the ocean where “zombi worms” populate the deep, to a serious debate about the state of research into unexplained aerial phenomenon, as well as the distinction between speculative study of the unexplained, and harmful pseudoscience. Finally, big news out of Austria entails the discovery of one of the largest underground weapons facilities of the Third Reich, in which traces of radiation indicate the grave nature of the Nazi’s attempts at creating nuclear weapons.

Also, the purported discovery of “alien” artifacts, and what some call a “globalist agenda” to hide that information from the public, is also discussed, along with questions over intelligent design and life in our universe.

Then in the second hour, we conclude 2014 with our ultimate wrap of the year’s big news stories, as well as it’s top films, technological innovations, conspiracy theories, mysteries, and our final list of ancient wonders.

It's our official-unofficial holiday program for the end of 2014! Topics include the Winter Solstice and predictions about 2015.

This post, 12.22.14. Winter Solstice & Predictions on The Gralien Report, first appeared at The Gralien Report.

Tonight on The Gralien Report, it’s our official, unofficial holiday program! What’s going on in the world of the Sony “Mega-Hack” that’s got everyone talking? We’ll touch on that, but will mostly be splitting our discussion between the mythic history and traditions of winter solstice and the Christmas tradition, as well as a few predictions for 2015.

What are your projections for what the coming year will hold? We’d love to hear from you… and to hear what others are saying, follow the conversation on Twitter and Facebook, and tag your own predictions with #gralien2015predictions.

 

 

Why are villagers in Khazakistan mysteriously falling asleep? Also, with all the artificial intelligence "doom-speak" in the news, does AI really pose a threat to us in the future?

This post, 12.15.14. Threats of Artificial Intelligence on The Gralien Report, first appeared at The Gralien Report.

This week on The Gralien Report, the lads in the bunker examine strange reports of “sleeping sickness” that have been occurring in Kazakstan for years, at the former site of a top-secret Soviet mining operation. Elsewhere, the mysterious origins of Earth’s water, and listener opinions on whether a “secret space program” might exist are all on the table.

Then in hour two, the question on our minds is whether artificial intelligence will eventually destroy mankind, as has been professed by many in the media. To help address this subject, we are joined by Correy Kowall, an artificial intelligence researcher who has worked with the Swiss AI Lab IDSIA, a non-profit oriented research institute for artificial intelligence. Kowall holds a Bachelor’s in Computer Science from Northern Michigan University, and was the first recipient of the Post Growth Challenge for his design of a self-replicable solar kiln. He will begin his Ph.D. studies at St. Andrews in late January.

You can read Correy’s blog here, as well as his academic profile here. He has also published articles on the subject, such as the piece titled “AI Doomsaying is the Self Loathing of Jerks“, which appeared in H+ Magazine that can be read here and here.

This edition of the program features news regarding purported secret spacecraft, killer AI, and a discussion with author Gregory Sams about politics and consciousness.

This post, 12.08.14. Secret Spacecraft & the Mind on The Gralien Report, first appeared at The Gralien Report.

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, as reports of ‘mystery booms’ continue around the world, Micah considers whether some modern interpretations of UFOs as being part of a “secret space program” utilizing exotic spacecraft have their origins in spy films of the 1960s. We also take time to investigate whether “killer A.I.” theories are released in conjunction with promotion of Terminator movies, as well as a report on Discovery’s latest “mockumentary.” 

In hour two, we also dig into discussion of the current state of affairs with government in the Western world, and whether it is “out of date.” Author Gregory Sams (who, coincidentally, invented the “veggie burger”) discusses whether our politics is in need of a reboot, as well as his book Sun of God which delves into questions of chaos theory, creation, and universal consciousness.
