  The Missing UFO Scientists: 8 Dead or Missing. The FBI Is Investigating.

  Aug 21, 202627 min

  An internet body count claims eight scientists tied to UFO research are dead or missing and one of them is a retired two-star general who ran the Air Force Research Laboratory before walking out his front door into the dark, leaving behind his phone, his glasses, and his heart monitor, but not his revolver. The believers call it a pattern; the families say most of the list is ordinary grief being turned into content. This episode counts the list honestly, both sides all the way up, and lands on the one case nobody can explain.

  The West Memphis Three: 3 Boys Found in a Ditch. 3 Teenagers Falsely Convicted.

  Aug 18, 202647 min

  In May 1993, three eight-year-old boys were found bound in a drainage ditch in West Memphis, Arkansas and within a year, three teenagers were convicted on a contradiction-riddled confession and testimony about satanic ritual. Eighteen years later, as the physical evidence unraveled, Arkansas released all three on Alford pleas: guilty on paper while maintaining their innocence. This is how the case went wrong, and why the central question is still open more than 30 years later.

The official cause of death is drowning. The documentary record, drawn from Dutch colonial files, missionary accounts, and villagers who were there, tells a very different story, one that three institutions quietly agreed never to tell.

  In 1972, U.S. intelligence officials sat in a candlelit room with Britain's most famous witch — and something calling itself Caxuulikom answered back. This is the story of the Collins Elite, the secret Pentagon group that believed UFOs weren't alien spacecraft. They were demons. From rocket scientist Jack Parsons and his Babalon Working ritual, to Operation Often, to the séance that convinced the U.S. government it was facing spiritual warfare — this is one of the strangest stories in modern intelligence history.
