Join Travis and Josh, as we dive headfirst into the strange, the unexplained, and the “probably not true, but what if?” conspiracy theories. From the basics like the Roswell Incident to wild fringe theories like the hollow moon, we’re here to ask the big questions, share a few laughs, and figure out what we actually believe. We’re not experts—we’re just two curious guys who want to know more about UFOs, UAPs, and alien lore.

    Unexplained Mystery Spheres: The Betz Sphere, The Flying Buga Sphere, And Ancient Stone Orbs

    A metal sphere discovered after a fire. A flying orb recovered in Colombia. Ancient stone balls so precise they still spark debate today. Josh and Travis explore the weird world of mystery spheres: from the legendary Betz Sphere and its impossible behavior, to the controversial Buga Sphere, to the ancient carved stone spheres that prove humanity has been fascinated by perfect round objects for a very long time. A polished metal sphere turns up after a Florida brush fire and then refuses to behave like an ordinary object. It rolls back to whoever touches it, stops at the edge of tables like it can “sense” a drop, hums along to guitar notes, and stays warm long after it should have cooled. That’s the Betz Sphere case, and we walk through why it still gets cited in UFO and unexplained artifact circles: the Navy testing, the reported X-rays showing layered construction and smaller spheres inside, and the uncomfortable reality that the story gets even stranger after the media shows up. From there we jump forward to the viral Buga Sphere from Colombia, where modern footage, surface symbols, and new X-ray claims collide with the biggest problem in anomaly research: chain of custody. We talk about why gaps in documentation matter, how a single cut in a video can change the entire reliability of a claim, and why radiocarbon dating headlines often confuse what’s being dated. If you’re searching terms like UAP evidence, UFO artifacts, mysterious metal orb, or “is it a hoax,” this is the kind of grounded, curious breakdown you want. We also zoom out to the ancient side of the phenomenon, including the Diquís stone spheres of Costa Rica and disputed stone spheres in Bosnia. Whether they’re art, status symbols, lost technology, or geology playing tricks, they prove one thing: humans have been making and finding near-perfect spheres for a long time, even when there’s no obvious practical reason. Subscribe for the next conversation, share this with a friend who loves a good mystery, and leave a review with your best theory on what these spheres really are.

    Socorro UFO Incident: Alien Encounter and Unexplained Phenomena in New Mexico

    Dive deep into one of the most intriguing UFO cases in history: the Socorro UFO Incident in New Mexico. This episode explores the compelling evidence surrounding the alien encounter witnessed by police sergeant Lonnie Zamora during a routine traffic stop.  From physical landing marks to eyewitness accounts and the involvement of the FBI and Project Blue Book, we unpack the mystery with a critical eye.  We also examine common conspiracy theories tied to the event and why many struggle to explain the lasting physical evidence.  Additionally, we discuss how this case influenced UFO researcher J. Allen Hynek’s approach to studying unexplained aerial phenomena (UAPs).  Whether you're fascinated by ufos and aliens, or intrigued by conspiracy theories, this episode offers a balanced, evidence-focused look that will make you reconsider what's possible.  CIA.gov article (including diagram/map of Soccoro incident) Video 1: The Black Vault Originals: FBI Documents on the Lonnie Zamora Case / Socorro, NM UFO Landing Video 2: Eyes On Cinema: Lonnie Zamora in 3 interviews (1964, '74 & '96)  **Text Us Some Fan Mail** Support the show Where to find us: Website: aliens.buzzsprout.comInstagram: aliens_yes_but_maybe_noYoutube: @AliensYesButMaybeNo

    Project Looking Glass: Timelines, Gray Aliens, And The Mandela Effect

    After 1999, time starts feeling… off. And sure, that could be the trauma of dial-up internet and frosted tips—but it also lines up with one of the wilder ideas in modern UFO lore: Project Looking Glass.  The story goes that somewhere inside a black-budget world, insiders got their hands on a consciousness-driven device (possibly tied to recovered UFO tech) that could “view” potential futures — not one fixed outcome, but branching probability timelines. And weirdly, a lot of those timelines allegedly kept converging on one date: 2012. So we dig in. Where does this story even come from? Why do Sumerian cylinder seals keep getting dragged into it? How does a “future-viewing” machine supposedly work if your beliefs can affect what you see? And if powerful people thought they were staring at a looming disaster — would that justify doing absolutely unhinged things in the present to steer the timeline? From there, the rabbit hole splits into two big lanes: a slow awakening toward transparency and higher consciousness… or a darker path where things collapse and the Grays show up in the worst way. We also hit the Mandela Effect, is it “timeline residue,” or just normal brain stuff + cultural telephone game? Either way, it gets spicy. Expect Y2K dread, the alleged 1999 “shift,” factions of future humans (because of course), and the claim that Looking Glass was dismantled and hidden so nobody could boot it back up. Plus: listener mail on Operation Highjump logistics, and a quick Socorro UFO quiz to tee up what’s coming next.  Video 1: Why Files: Project Looking Glass  Video 2: Something happened in 1999 **Text Us Some Fan Mail** Support the show Where to find us: Website: aliens.buzzsprout.comInstagram: aliens_yes_but_maybe_noYoutube: @AliensYesButMaybeNo

    The Mothman Legend: Cryptid, Harbinger of Doom, and Unexpected Sex Icon

    In this episode, we dive deep into the legend of the Mothman: the original sightings near the eerie TNT area, the wave of UFO reports and Men in Black encounters that followed, and the unsettling feeling that something strange was unfolding in the Ohio River Valley. We explore how a quiet Appalachian town became the epicenter of a full-blown paranormal flap, thanks in part to journalist Mary Hyer and investigator John Keel, whose book The Mothman Prophecies transformed local fear into global mythology. We also confront the tragedy that forever intertwined the legend with real-world loss: the catastrophic collapse of the Silver Bridge, which claimed 46 lives and cemented Mothman’s reputation as a harbinger of doom. And then, because the internet exists, we talk about how Mothman somehow became a festival mascot, a tourism icon, and—against all odds—a cryptid sex symbol.

    The Grinning Man: The Unsettling Story of Indrid Cold

    In 1966, traveling salesman Woodrow Derenberger claimed he encountered a smiling, telepathic being on a dark West Virginia highway. Unfortunately for him, it was an encounter that would spiral into years of alleged visits, alien worlds, public harassment, Men in Black sightings, and the collapse of his personal life.  We're diving into the deeply unsettling case of Indrid Cold, better known as The Grinning Man—a figure who looks human, speaks without moving his mouth, and doesn't fit any one description. But Indrid Cold isn't just isolated to one case. There are reports of other grinning figures in different states, strange phone calls, unexplained lights, and a broader wave of high strangeness spreading across West Virginia.  One investigator, John Keel, begins to suspect that this isn’t an alien story at all, but something stranger: an ultraterrestrial, a being not from another planet, but from somewhere overlapping our reality. In this episode, we discuss: The original highway encounter and why it feels so wrongThe rise of the Grinning Man sightings beyond West VirginiaWhy Indrid Cold triggers such a strong uncanny valley responseThe ultraterrestrial theory and how it reframes the entire caseSkeptical explanations, psychological interpretations, and hoax concernsHow folklore, culture, and media helped turn Indrid Cold into modern mythWas Indrid Cold an extraterrestrial explorer? An interdimensional observer? A psychological break under extreme pressure? Or the modern face of an ancient archetype that’s been with us far longer than we realize. **Text Us Some Fan Mail** Support the show Where to find us: Website: aliens.buzzsprout.comInstagram: aliens_yes_but_maybe_noYoutube: @AliensYesButMaybeNo

    High Strangeness in Antarctica

    We're embarking on an expedition to the coldest, driest, most remote continent on Earth, Antarctica, to explore why this icy wasteland might be one of the weirdest places on the planet. We’re talking secret Nazi bases, bleeding glaciers, ghost stories, UFOs, and the all-time conspiracy classic: Operation Highjump Also in this episode: Travis learns that “Antarctica” means “no bears,” and Josh demands the immediate release of all government data ever. (Good luck with that.) If you like your icebergs with a side of ancient civilizations, magnetic anomalies, alien bases, and deeply suspicious no-fly zones, this one’s for you.

    Majestic 12: The Men Behind The UFO Cover-Ups

    A roll of film shows up in a Hollywood mailbox. The frames develop into “Top Secret Majic Eyes Only” pages that name presidents, spymasters, and scientists—and claim a secret committee has managed America’s UFO story since 1947. We dig into Majestic 12 with fresh eyes, tracing the thread from Roswell and EBEs (Extraterrestrial Biological Entity) to alleged treaties with Greys, underground facilities, and black projects at Groom Lake that fuel Area 51 legends. Along the way, we confront the uncomfortable heart of the story: disinformation as a deliberate strategy. We walk through the 12 people attributed to MJ‑12. To name a few, Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, Vannevar Bush, James Forrestal, Hoyt Vandenberg... And why the 12 names give the documents gravity. Then we put the papers under a forensic lamp: cloned signatures, anachronistic typefaces, mismatched executive order numbers, and the “limited hangout” idea where truth is salted with fakes to mislead. Admissions from figures like William Moore and Richard Doty complicate the picture, while partially redacted FBI records and the real MAJESTIC classification keep curiosity alive. Whether you see a sprawling hoax or a shielded program, the case becomes a masterclass in media literacy and open‑source sleuthing. Our goal isn’t to crown a winner between belief and doubt. It’s to help you navigate the fog—how to evaluate provenance, spot red flags, and think clearly when authority, secrecy, and mythology collide. If you’re here for Roswell lore, Greys, underground bases, and Cold War psyops, you’ll find plenty to chew on. If you’re here to understand how narratives are shaped and weaponized, MJ‑12 is a near‑perfect study. Hit play, then tell us where your needle lands: truth, hoax, or an infuriating mix of both.

    Valiant Thor: The Alien Who Met With the President

    Forget Roswell's crash landings! What if a high-ranking alien emissary didn't arrive in pieces, but was personally invited into the highest offices of the U.S. government? We dedicate this episode to the bizarre, high-level conspiracy story of Valiant Thor, the alleged Venusian who materialized near Alexandria, Virginia, in 1957 and walked right into the Pentagon. This was no ordinary close encounter: Thor was described as a striking humanoid with unusual physical traits—six fingers, extremely large eyes, and an IQ reportedly off the charts. His mission was dire: to meet with President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon to deliver a stark, urgent warning about the planet's trajectory toward nuclear self-destruction. Join us as we unpack the three years Valiant Thor reportedly spent living secretly inside the Pentagon, operating under the highest levels of classification. We dissect the strange, compelling accounts from witnesses who interacted with him, explore why this interstellar diplomat chose the height of the Cold War for his intervention, and debate whether his presence suggests a history of extraterrestrial diplomatic relations with world powers. This is a story that forces us to ask: If an alien was given a key to the White House, what did they see that made them leave?
