In 1957 the U.S. Chemical Corps of Engineers had been producing chemical munitions, using the deadly sarin nerve gas, to fulfill their stockpile requirements set by the U.S. Department of Defense. After filling these quotas, the Chemical Corps pivoted their means of production of VX nerve gas. VX had the sinister reputation of being three times as toxic as sarin when inhaled and almost one thousand times more toxic when absorbed through the skin. With one liter having the theoretical capacity for killing one million people. Many of the men who helped in the development and production of these weapons of unparalleled lethality were former Nazis who, just a little more than a decade before, were building weapons that were intended to be used on Allied soldiers during WWII. But even before Berlin had fallen, many of these scientists who were captured by advancing Allied froces had thrown away their allegiance to the Nazi ideology and professed innocence and ignorance of the multitude of war crimes that happened at the weapons testing and production facilities in Nazi Germany. Each country of the Allies was eager to deal with these devils in order to obtain the secrets of the wonder weapons of the Third Reich.

During the 1970's the possibility of global nuclear war was still treated as a very real threat. Both the U.S. and Soviet Union were caught in a seemingly endless race of nuclear weapon proliferation. In the northern state of Minnesota, the U.S. had constructed several bases that housed installations for the launch of nuclear ballistic missiles. In 1967 in the nearby state in Montana it was reported that, after a dramatic encounter with a UFO, a number of nuclear missiles housed there had been made inoperable. The seeming interest of these unidentified phenomena in the nuclear weapons constructed by humans has been well documented in the countless sightings of UFOs around and above their facilities. In 1979 did a local sheriff’s deputy possibly encounter one of the devices sent to observe the activities at a nearby military base housing nuclear-tipped missiles? What evidence left several investigators unable to suggest an earthly explanation for the physical damage left to the deputy’s vehicle?

In 221 BC, after a swift and brutal campaign of reunification, the king of the Qin nation declared himself sole ruler over the lands that would later become modern-day China. Giving himself the title of Shi Huangdi, or “First Emperor”. For nearly two thousand years a majority of the records and descriptions the world had of the first emperor of China were from sources 100 years after his rise to power and rule. An entire era lost to time. But from one of the most referenced texts from the dynasty that followed the Qin, the Han dynasty, there was the description of the First Emperor’s lost tomb. A magnificent complex and structure unmatched by anything in the known world. Rivers of flowing mercury, torches fed by mermaid oil, treasures gathered from all the corners of the realm to be laid with the first Emperor. Once thought only to exist in legend, it wouldn't be until 1974 that villagers digging wells would uncover lifelike clay warriors buried in the earth that would point to the lost tomb of the Dragon Emperor.

In the United States, there are a few contenders for the title UFO capital. You might think it’s New Mexico, with its sprawling deserts and history of UFO crashes and secret military bases. You may guess it’s California, covering two-thirds of the west coast and the location for the sensational Battle of Los Angeles in 1942. Both guesses would be wrong. After compiling data on UFO sightings throughout the US, it turns out that the state you're most likely to spot unidentified aerial phenomenon is Vermont. Located in the northeastern U.S., known as the “Green Mountain State”, Vermont has a history with UFOs stretching as far back as the mid 17th century. On an August evening in 1968, two teenage summer camp workers got to experience the Vermont UFO phenomenon up close and personal.

During the 1700’s thousands of French settlers were expelled from the Northeastern region of North America and were forced to return to France or resettle in various other areas. One of the most popular destinations was the then Spanish colony of Louisiana. Over the following century, these recently arrived French and the area’s Native American cultures blended into what we now call Cajuns. Although, bloodlines and customs were not the only things that ended up mixing together. Legends of a shapeshifting terror also took form from the shared beliefs of both groups. An unholy beast that stalks the swamps and bayous with an uncontrollable thirst for blood. The creature has many supposed beginnings,  a witch's curse, The soul of an unbaptized child given to the swamps to be raised by alligators, the origins of the beast are as murky as the waters of the bayous themselves.

In May of 1967, Stefan Michalak was out hunting for quartz when a group of geese had seemingly been spooked by two glowing cigar shaped objects. Michalak’s encounter at Falcon Lake would go on to produce one of Canada’s most well known UFO encounters. A little less than a decade later and about 100 miles west, over the skies of the town of Carman another incredible phenomenon took place. Beginning in early 1975 town residents began observing a strange object crossing their skies with alarming regularity. The object appeared so frequently that those who watched the skies, trying to catch a glimpse of the object, allegedly began to ascribe human characteristics to the object and even gave it a proper name. According to author Grant Cameron, the phenomenon would produce incredible sightings and encounters for nearly two years and coincide with some of the most tense years of the Cold War.

Set in what is now the Rubio Woods Forest Preserve just 18 miles southeast of Chicago, Illinois sits an unassuming plot of land that houses an estimated 150 graves. These graves, the first burial taking place in 1844, have long been untended and are in various states of disrepair. Visitors and paranormal experts who have visited the grounds have reported feelings of despair and isolation while walking among the headstones and in the surrounding forest. Coupled with the vandalization of numerous gravestones there have been recorded incidents of illegal exhumation of some of the human remains. Perhaps, it is these acts of desecration, many which happened during the 60’s and 70’s, that have led to the appearance of so many haunting apparitions that are associated with the area and have earned it the title of one of the most haunted cemeteries in the U.S. This casefile, join the Theorists as they go looking for the fiesta at the phantom house in...Bachelor’s Grove Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/alien-theorists-theorizing/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Holding the title of UFO capital of Scotland, the city of Bonnybridge racks up around 300 mysterious sightings a year. In 1992 the first sighting was reported by businessman, James Walker, who claimed to have seen a ‘star-shaped’ flying low over the road he was driving on and blocking his path. Within a few years, an impressive number of reports of mysterious objects began to populate the local newspapers and put Bonnybridge on the map with 600 sightings taking place just between 1992 and 1994. While Bonnybridge may hold the title for close encounters of the first kind, 15 miles southeast in the town of Livingston, one man holds the title for close encounters of the fourth kind. A little over a decade before Bonnybridge became known as UFO hotspot, a forestry worker had a harrowing experience that, due to his credibility as a witness, was filed as an actual case of assault by a UFO.

Over 1000 years ago Hindu religious texts described an ethereal realm where humans could potentially access information on all that is, was, and will be. A type of interdimensional data cloud where all events from a person’s past lives and futures could be viewed. At the end of the 19th century, the western world saw the rise of Spiritualism. Out of this cultural shift, there were figures like Madame Blavatsky who popularized the search for ancient knowledge within eastern philosophies to bring spiritual enlightenment to the industrialized world. Even the famed Edgar Cayce, the renowned psychic, claimed to have access to these records during his readings on subjects like Atlantis and Ancient Egypt. What evidence suggests the existence of this otherworldly data repository? Are people with certain neurological disorders able to access these records when they acquire certain skills inhumanly fast? How do certain facets of human culture suggest the existence of a collective psychic connection?
