    The Face Peelers: Peru's Alien Nightmare Fuel

    Tall armored figures. Glowing eyes. Reports of attackers floating above the ground. What happened during the 2023 Peru “face peeler” encounters? Josh and Travis dive into Los Pelacaras, the mysterious figures reported by an Indigenous Ikitu community in the Peruvian Amazon. From nighttime patrols to a teenager’s disturbing account of an assault, we examine the witness testimony, the headlines, and the questions behind this unsettling case. We explore the older Pishtaco folklore, Timothy Alberino and Doug Thornton’s investigation, reports of UFOs over the river, and the practical problems with the jetpack theory. Could these encounters involve criminal intimidation, fear and mistaken identity, secret human technology, or something extraterrestrial? Josh leaves room for alien involvement. Travis sees a Scooby-Doo villain with a very expensive disguise. Along the way, we separate reported experiences from speculation and consider the threats facing the people who call this region home. Join us for a spooky-season mystery where every explanation sparks another argument. Then tell us where you land: aliens, humans, or still undecided?

    Terror on Dead Mountain: The Haunting Mystery of the Dyatlov Pass Incident

    A tent cut from the inside. Footprints leading into the snow. Nine hikers dead, radioactive clothing, and reports of strange lights over the Ural Mountains. We’re continuing spooky mountain season with the Dyatlov Pass incident, and we’ve got very different thoughts about what happened. We follow the 1959 expedition through the hikers’ photographs and diaries, then examine the discoveries at the abandoned campsite, the cedar tree, and the ravine. We get into the severe injuries, the disputed Frame 34 photograph, a Yeti attack, and theories involving secret Soviet weapons tests. We also explore the official avalanche explanation and modern snow-slab research before debating military involvement, extreme weather, and the decisions that could have led to the tragedy. Along the way, we share a real-life fire department visit, read fan mail from a U.S. Air Force veteran, and reflect on how nearly fifty episodes have shaped our beliefs about aliens, UFOs, and disclosure.  Videos: An Unknown Compelling Force: The Dyatlov Pass Incident (1hr46min)**Text Us Some Fan Mail** Support the show 🛸 Listener Survey Where to find us: Website: aliens.buzzsprout.comInstagram: aliens_yes_but_maybe_noYoutube: @AliensYesButMaybeNo

    Mount Shasta Mysteries: Lemurians, UFOs, Missing Hikers & a 60-Foot Hole

    What’s hiding inside Mount Shasta? According to the legends: a lost civilization, a five-level underground city called Telos, and maybe some ten-foot-tall mummies.  We get into the stories of J. C. Brown’s vanished expedition, the Lemurians beneath the mountain, an astronomer’s suspiciously famous telescope sighting, and Guy Ballard’s encounter with Saint Germain—a claim that helped launch the I AM movement and eventually reached the Supreme Court. Along the way, there's Bigfoot reports, a strange light above Castle Lake, the disappearance of hiker Carl Landers, and the deeply unsettling “Robot Grandma.” Then there’s the fact that someone really did dig a 60-foot hole into Mount Shasta. Who paid for it, and what were they hoping to find? Links mentioned: Why Files - The Most Paranormal Place On Earth - What's Happening on Mount Shasta?

    Pascagoula Alien Abduction: The Secret Police Tape That Still Raises Questions

    Two men report an alien abduction. The sheriff suspects a prank. Then he leaves them alone with a hidden tape recorder and the conversation doesn’t go as expected. Josh and Travis are discussing the 1973 Pascagoula alien abduction, where Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker claimed a fishing trip ended aboard a hovering UFO.  We follow the encounter from the riverbank to the sheriff’s office, unpacking the secret police recording, reported puncture marks, polygraph testing, and hypnosis sessions that made this case a lasting fixture of UFO history. Along the way, we get into J. Allen Hynek’s involvement, skeptical explanations involving trauma and memory, and the question that keeps coming up: does believing these men were terrified mean believing they were abducted by aliens? Then there’s life afterward: decades of unwanted attention, Calvin Parker’s eventual decision to tell his story, and Charles Hickson’s claims of further contact—including a mysterious “message stone.” Some details move the needle. Others move it right back. What’s your verdict on Pascagoula? Share your theory and leave a review. And if you’ve read either man’s book, we want to hear from you.

    The Fermi Paradox Will Keep You Up At Night!

    If the universe is filled with billions of stars and potentially habitable planets, where is everybody? This is the Fermi Paradox—the cosmic mystery at the heart of humanity’s search for extraterrestrial life. We unpack the Drake Equation, revisit the mysterious Wow! Signal and Arecibo Message, and explore some of the most fascinating explanations for the universe’s eerie silence: the Great Filter, the Zoo Hypothesis, Rare Earth, and the terrifying Dark Forest Theory. Are alien civilizations quietly watching us? Are they hiding from something more dangerous? Or are we approaching a Great Filter of our own with artificial intelligence, war, or environmental disaster waiting ahead?

    Did Giants Once Walk the Earth? The Evidence, Legends & Hidden History

    Did giants once walk the Earth, or are these stories the result of myths, exaggerations, and misunderstood discoveries? In this episode, we explore the evidence, legends, and hidden history surrounding ancient giants. We look at everything from the Nephilim and the giants of Greek and Norse mythology to Malta’s massive stone temples, Nevada’s Lovelock Cave, and the burial mounds of North America. We dig into historical reports of enormous skeletons, red-haired giants, massive jaws, and double rows of teeth. We also examine Abraham Lincoln’s surprising reference to extinct giants, claims that the Smithsonian concealed unusual remains, and the strange military story of the Giant of Kandahar. Of course, there may be more ordinary explanations. Unreliable measurements, animal fossils, deteriorating remains, and sensational newspaper stories could account for much of the mystery. But could some ancient giants have been unusually tall humans, forgotten human relatives, or even the inspiration behind Bigfoot legends? Cultures around the world have been telling stories about giants for thousands of years. Were our ancestors creating larger-than-life myths, or describing something they actually encountered? Topics include ancient giants, the Nephilim, Lovelock Cave, red-haired giants, the Giant of Kandahar, giant skeletons, the Smithsonian cover-up theory, Native American oral history, Malta’s megalithic temples, Denisovans and Bigfoot.

    The Bridgewater Triangle is America's Weirdest Paranormal Hotspot

    Deep in southeastern Massachusetts is the Bridgewater Triangle—a paranormal hotspot where UFOs, Bigfoot, giant birds, Pukwudgies, phantom hitchhikers, ghost trucks, and missing-time stories all occupy the same suspicious patch of land. In this episode, we enter the Hockomock Swamp and explore the region’s heavy history, the legend of Metacom’s missing wampum belt, a police cruiser allegedly lifted by something unseen, and Bill Russo’s terrifying encounters with creatures who lure victims into the woods.  We also investigate one of America’s earliest recorded UFO sightings, an enormous craft shaped like baseball home plate, the murders and Satanic Panic surrounding Freetown State Forest, and haunted roads where passengers vanish without warning. Is the Bridgewater Triangle a portal attracting every category of high strangeness? Could fog, wildlife, power lines, highway hypnosis, and expectation explain its reputation? Or has the Triangle become a story machine that transforms every strange experience inside its boundaries into something paranormal? We don’t know—but we do know we’re not following a Pukwudgie into a swamp.
