He Had a Near-Death Experience and Realized What UFOs Actually Are | Keith Thompson

Third Eye DropsNov 1, 2026

At 24, journalist Keith Thompson nearly drowned in a Hawaiian riptide, left his body, and met dead relatives, including a great-uncle he didn't know had died. That experience launched decades of reporting on UFOs, near-death experiences, seances, and objects that seemingly appear from nowhere. In his new book Anomalous Phenomena, he argues these mysteries share a common pattern that points to a deep interconnectedness at the root of reality, one that materialist science has refused to map.

Apports and Other Anomalous Phenomena with Keith Thompson

New Thinking AllowedOct 26, 2026

Author Keith Thompson joins Jeffrey Mishlove to discuss his book Anomalous Phenomena, which argues that mind and matter are not separate but points on a dynamic spectrum that interact in surprising ways. Starting with the Scole Experiment, where objects such as an 1891 penny and a 1944 newspaper allegedly materialized during seances, Thompson links apports to near-death experiences, stigmata, Navajo Bigfoot cases, and shape-shifting UFOs. He shares his own near-death experience and his mother's deathbed visitation as personal evidence that our scientific maps, not reality, contain the anomalies.

Jacques Vallée: 60 Years of UFO Secrets, Science, and a Final Search for Truth

Somewhere in the SkiesOct 19, 2026

Legendary UFO researcher Jacques Vallée discusses the release of Forbidden Science Volume 7: The Final Report and why he is shifting into a support role for a new generation of researchers. He argues that 'disclosure' will not look like what the public expects, and that civilian field cases with physical traces are often richer than military footage. He also shares his theory that crashes like the 1945 Trinity case may have been deliberate 'gifts', and explains the isotope analysis of anomalous materials he gave to Stanford's Garry Nolan.

Did Trump Authorize The Shootdown Of UFOs?

WeaponizedOct 2, 2026

Liberation Times journalist Chris Sharp joins George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell to investigate claims that President Trump authorized the shootdown of UAP over a US test range, likely White Sands, possibly as part of a 'luring' operation. Both the Department of War and the White House declined to deny the allegation, which Sharp ties to tests of the LOCUST laser system and the disappearance of its developer's former technology director. The conversation then turns to David Grusch's latest Joe Rogan interview, which described footage of non-human bodies, reptilian beings being shot, and alleged factions of competing alien species.

Robert Anton Wilson’s The Cosmic Trigger with Gabriel Kennedy

New Thinking AllowedSep 28, 2026

Jeffrey Mishlove and biographer Gabriel Kennedy revisit Robert Anton Wilson's 1977 classic Cosmic Trigger, Volume 1: The Final Secret of the Illuminati, and the psychedelic, occult and quantum-physics scene of mid-1970s Berkeley that produced it. They trace how Wilson's LSD-fueled Crowley rituals led him to believe he was receiving telepathic messages from beings near the star Sirius, tied to synchronicities around the number 23, until a meeting with Jacques Vallée changed his interpretation. The conversation also covers Wilson's collaboration with the imprisoned Timothy Leary, his model agnosticism, and the family tragedies that shaped the book.

PURSUE 6 Files & Waiver, Wall Street Journal Under Fire, NHI Communication with AI

Somewhere in the SkiesSep 23, 2026

Hosts Ryan Sprague and Suzanne Landers break down the sixth tranche of UFO files released through the Pentagon's PURSUE initiative, including a newly surfaced 1952 audio briefing by Project Blue Book's Edward Ruppelt that describes silent, ultra-fast craft near nuclear sites, much like reports today. They also question a new Defense Department waiver for UAP whistleblowers, calling it a possible honeypot, and cover Christopher Mellon's challenge to the Wall Street Journal's UFO reporting. The episode closes with Jacques Vallée's account of a psychic named Gilbert who allegedly tried to communicate with a glowing non-human entity inside a mountain lab, plus Vallée's speculation that AI might reach out to non-human intelligence without us.

Hollywood Actor Shares Wild Alien Encounter Stories - Thomas Jane | ep. 101

AREA52 Podcast (Chris Ramsay)Sep 11, 2026

Actor Thomas Jane describes publicly, for the first time, a 2011 encounter in which three glowing, butterfly-shaped beings made of red and green laser-like threads hovered over him for hours, flashed complex geometric patterns, and waited for his mental consent before passing into his body. He says the experience changed his entire life, and it led to his book The Watch Guard, which collects obscure humanoid encounter cases and argues that human and non-human forces work together to control humanity's access to advanced technology. Along the way, he and host Chris Ramsay discuss the Bolivian 'bleeding alien' case, theosophy's influence on ufology, alien 'clades,' and the idea that love is a non-local force at the heart of the phenomenon.

He Saw Four TIC TAC UFOs - Then AARO Came Calling

WeaponizedSep 8, 2026

Navy Senior Chief Alexandro Wiggins describes watching four Tic Tac-shaped objects rise out of the ocean off San Diego in February 2023, move in perfect unison, and then shoot toward the coast at impossible speed. After testifying about the sighting before Congress with the Navy's full support, he says the Pentagon's UFO office AARO pressured his chain of command to force him into a classified briefing, even threatening to involve the Secretary of War. George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell call this witness intimidation and argue that the recent government UFO file releases are mostly recycled material.

The Cote UFO Photo: The Clearest UFO Image Ever Captured?

Somewhere in the SkiesSep 7, 2026

In 1971, a Costa Rican government aerial mapping mission over Lake Cote captured a sharp, disc-shaped object on a single frame of high-resolution cartographic film, and no one aboard saw it. Filmmakers Adam Pillen and Megan Woomer discuss their documentary The Cote Photo, which traces the image's unbroken chain of custody, its analysis by researchers like Jacques Vallée and Richard Haines, and the lifelong UFO experiences of cartographer Sergio Loaiza. The conversation explores why this photo has held up to scrutiny for decades and why it may be one of the clearest UFO images ever taken.

Miguel Conner on Debunking Modern UFO Paradigms (and the big Gnostic reveal)

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioSep 3, 2026

Miguel Conner surveys the major frameworks researchers use to explain UFOs, drawing on Kevin Kan's 700-page book 'UFOs and the Extra Consciousness Hypothesis.' He weighs the extraterrestrial, interdimensional, and demonic hypotheses and argues that each captures only part of a phenomenon tied to folklore, death, and consciousness. Along the way he presents ancient Gnosticism as history's first UFO cult and teases a big Gnostic reveal for paying members.

Physicist Breaks Silence on Skinwalker Ranch and UFOs | Dr. Eric Davis

Third Eye DropsSep 1, 2026

Astrophysicist Dr. Eric Davis, a former Voyager mission researcher and advanced propulsion specialist, recounts his years investigating Skinwalker Ranch for Robert Bigelow's National Institute for Discovery Science, including a telepathic encounter with a black shadow that said "we are here, we are watching you." He describes the ranch phenomenon as a precognitive, sentient intelligence that anticipated researchers' moves and resisted documentation. Davis also claims the U.S. has a secret UFO crash retrieval program, says he interviewed insiders from an unnamed aerospace contractor who studied intact craft, and says he reviewed vetted intelligence on a foreign government's recovery of a downed craft with non-human bodies.

Henry Zebrowski: UFOs, Aliens, and the Last Podcast on the Left (SITS CLASSIC)

Somewhere in the SkiesAug 28, 2026

Comedian Henry Zebrowski of Last Podcast on the Left joins Ryan Sprague for a freewheeling talk about UFOs, the February 2023 shootdowns of unidentified objects over North America, and why the government suddenly started saying 'UFO' again. Zebrowski discusses the Trinity crash, Annie Jacobsen's claim that Roswell involved surgically altered children sent by Stalin, and his belief that the phenomenon is a '25-layer cake' with many explanations at once. He names Rendlesham Forest and the Ariel School sighting as his strongest cases and explains how Jacques Vallée shaped his view of a psychic, trickster-like phenomenon.
