A mysterious, well dressed man ends up dead on an Australian beach in 1948 & to this very day no one knows who he is or exactly how he died. There are pictures of his body, his fingerprints are on file, his belongings were found & analyzed, his DNA has even been tested but still...his identity remains a mystery. Who was The Somerton Man? A GOOD ART…

Did the Roswell crash provide the US Military with access to a live alien known as EBE #1 who lived for a few years after but before he passed he put us in touch with his home planet of Serpo & that resulted in an eventual meet & greet/exchange program in the early 60's & also probably influenced the whole "Close Encounters Of the 3rd Kind" thing?!…

JPX from Post Rhetoric & The Degenerate Life Podcast joins me to talk about some baffling historical ca…

Edward Leedskalnin, we've determined, was probably not a good guy. He had some sketchy personal ideals (which he wrote about) and by today's standards he was a love spurned pedophile obsessing psychotically over losing the chance to marry a child 10 years his junior. He took all of his bitterness, moved from Latvia to the USA & eventually built a m…
