Ep. 291 - The Kecksburg UFO Jul 13, 2026

Show notes

In February 1965, something crashed into the woods near Kecksburg, Pennsylvania. Was it a meteor as the U.S. Government claimed? Or was it an alien spaceship? Or something more sinister than that? In this episode I take you through the story and tell you all about the many theories of what really happened in Kecksburg.

One of the most famous modern urban legends is that of Polybius, a mysterious video game that was released in Portland arcades back in the early 1980s. Supposedly teenagers who played this game suffered migraines, amnesia and strangely aggressive behavior. Was this game part of a secret government mind control experiment? In this episode we dig into the truth.

Ep. 288 - The Montauk Project Jun 22, 2026

Show notes

One thing that fans of the Netflix series Stranger Things might not know, is that it was inspired by an actual conspiracy theory involving something known as the Montauk Project. A top secret military base on Long Island may have been the location for a series of disturbing experiments involving time travel, psychic children, monsters and more. In this episode I'm going to tell you all about it.
