    First, we investigate the disappearance of Kenny Veach, a popular vlogger who vanished without a trace in 2014. Kenny's online presence offered a glimpse into his life, but it also shrouded his case in a layer of mystery. Did his online persona contribute to his disappearance? We'll explore the leads, theories, and unanswered questions surrounding Kenny's case.
    Then, we turn back the clock to 1978 and delve into the story of the Yuba County Five. A group of men on a weekend outing who mysteriously disappeared from the rugged mountains of Yuba County.  Extensive searches yielded no clues, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions. Was it an accident, foul play, or something stranger?

    On a cold and stormy November night back in 1971 a man by the name of Dan Cooper hijacked a commercial flight and got away with a $200,000 ransom. Even more surprising, no one was injured or harmed. Armed with virtually no tangible evidence or valid leads, the FBI was unable to indict any suspects in the 50+ year old case. What are the facts of what happened? Who are the main suspects? Tune in this week to find out!

    The US Government and Crashed UFOs: The Trinity and Kecksburg UFO Incidents

    GET‌ ‌EVERY‌ ‌EPISODE‌ ‌AD FREE PLUS BONUS‌ ‌CONTENT‌ ‌AT:‌ ‌‌www.patreon.com/crackpotpodcast‌
    Join us this week as we take a cosmic leap into the world of UFO conspiracies! We'll be setting our sights on two enigmatic incidents: the Trinity UFO crash of 1945 and the Kecksburg UFO incident of 1965. Both involve reports of fiery objects streaking across the sky and rumors of subsequent government recovery missions.
    First, we'll head back to the New Mexico desert, just weeks before the first atomic bomb test. Did a mysterious object crash near the Trinity Site, potentially drawing the attention of both alien visitors and the US military?
    Then, we'll warp forward to Pennsylvania to dissect the Kecksburg incident. Was a burning object an extraterrestrial craft or a Soviet satellite gone astray? We'll dive into eyewitness accounts, government explanations, and the lingering questions that continue to fuel speculation.
    Did the US military recover alien technology in the aftermath of these events? We'll separate fact from fiction, analyze the available evidence, and explore the reasons why these incidents continue to spark intrigue. So, buckle up, conspiracy theorists and skeptics alike, as we explore the possibility of alien crash retrievals in the heart of America!

It’s not the ads

The issue with the sound isn’t that the ads are too loud, it’s that the content isn’t loud enough. Love the show, but I can barely hear it over the road noise in my car (noisy car, bumpy rural roads). Tested an episode against several other podcasts and found many of them to be much louder.

Sound leveling needed

This is the only thing I can think of wrong with the show is that the commercials are 15 times louder than the podcast. Other than that, it’s sound!! Pun intended.

Like the podcast dislike the cover

Like listening them to them on my way to work. Enjoy their voices and sense of humor but please do something about that cover art!
