    BP Bonus: Big UFO News with Hysteria 51

    On Blurry Hysteria this week we grapple with revelation from the seemingly otherworldly. Our focus today is on a groundbreaking article that's swept the globe: INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS SAY U.S. HAS RETRIEVED CRAFT OF NON-HUMAN ORIGIN. We’re untangling the clandestine testimonies and examining startling admissions from a highly-credible whistleblower who stepped into the light of the Congressional stage. They claim not just the U.S., but various global powers have quietly retrieved unidentified downed crafts - UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) and USOs (Unidentified Submerged Objects) alike.
    Join us as we navigate the murky waters of this astounding “disclosure-lite”. Will we find definitive proof of extraterrestrial visitors, or is it a cleverly orchestrated subterfuge? Whether you're a diehard believer, a hardened skeptic, or just someone curious about the extraordinary, this episode promises to challenge your beliefs and ignite your imagination.

    Ep 274: The Devil: A History part 2

    Ep 274: The Devil: A History part 2

    David is back with the conclusion of the Devil and the history attached to him! Covering other cultures, names, looks, and breakdowns of the info, the Devil gets fleshed out and examined in great detail. We pick back up with various forms of Evil in other cultures through history. Then many of the countless names of this entity are dissected and examined, paying careful attention to the origins of each. The several iterations of looks are discussed after that. And finally the episode concludes with analysis of the research and how it has influenced cultures through the ages. What was the actual purpose of this being? How has it evolved? And what conclusions can you draw from the information? David ends with opinion based on the facts, and encourages you to take a thoughtful examination of them for yourself. It's the finish of one of the biggest episodes in Blurry Photos history, one that hopefully teaches you something new and gives you perspective you never knew you were missing!
