  • Ep.20 The Birth of Flying Saucers Kenneth Arnold’s 1947 Sighting

    Ep.20 The Birth of Flying Saucers Kenneth Arnold’s 1947 Sighting
    Jul 3 2025
    In June 1947, a private pilot named Kenneth Arnold took off from Chehalis, Washington, on what should have been a routine search flight. He was looking for a downed aircraft near Mount Rainier, nothing unusual, just another day in the sky, the weather was clear, visibility was perfect. But what he saw that day would change the language we use to describe the unexplained forever. Nine objects flying in formation at incredible speed, shiny, crescent-shaped, and moving like stones skipping across water. Arnold couldn't identify them, he couldn't explain them, and neither could the U.S. military.

  • Ep.340 The Silent Machine

    Ep.340 The Silent Machine
    Jun 29 2025
    When Adrius stepped outside into the quiet night air, he wasn’t expecting to see anything unusual. But there it was, hovering above the treetops. A large, matte black craft. It didn’t move. It didn’t make a sound. Its surface was smooth with brushed metal ridges, and on either side, two red lights glowed, stacked vertically like signals. Adrius had seen other things in the sky before. In London, three glowing orbs drifted through moonlit clouds that moved in unnatural patterns. A colleague later confirmed the same sighting. A few months after that, during lockdown, a craft appeared above Crystal Palace. It looked like two diamond-shaped pods connected by a shifting field of purple and gold lights. Others saw it too. In California, near Vandenberg, he caught sight of a smooth, featureless object during the day. It vanished without sound. Later that year, walking his dogs, he saw another object light up with a flash of blue plasma before disappearing.

    Ep.18 The Ghost Rockets of Sweden 1946
    Jun 26 2025
    The war is over. It's 1946. Peace hasn't fully settled over Europe. In the skies over Sweden, Norway, and Finland, a new mystery emerges: dozens, hundreds, of rocket-like objects streak through the air. No known nation claims responsibility. No clear explanation ever comes. They are called the "Ghost Rockets" and their appearance would mark one of the first great UFO mysteries of the modern era.

    Ep.17 The Foo Fighters of WWII 1944
    Jun 24 2025
    It's 1944, deep in the chaos of World War II. Allied pilots battle not just enemy planes but something else, something they can't shoot down, something they can barely explain, bright orbs, dancing lights, impossible objects that out fly the best aircraft of the era. Pilots call them "Foo Fighters" and their mysterious presence would baffle militaries on both sides of the war.

  • Ep.339 The Georgia Skies

    Ep.339 The Georgia Skies
    Jun 22 2025
    In this episode, two of Justin’s close-range UFO encounters are shared. The first took place during a quiet evening on the front porch of his home, when he looked up to see a large, disc-shaped craft hovering low over the neighborhood. It moved slowly, completely silent, with a ring of white lights underneath and a strange, circuit-like texture across its surface. The second encounter happened a few years later. While riding as a passenger in his sister's car, Justin witnessed an enormous triangular craft drifting just above the treetops. Despite its massive size, it moved slowly and silently. Both sightings left a lasting impression on Justin. But first, before we hear from Justin, we have two voice submissions sent in from Ben in the UK and Bob in the US.
