In this conversation, Matthew Roberts shares his experiences as a former Navy cryptologist, detailing his involvement with the infamous gimbal UFO event. He discusses his decision to leave the Navy to speak freely about his experiences, the intense atmosphere aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt during the gimbal event, and the impact of witnessing the footage.  Matthew also reflects on the paranoia he felt following the event and provides insights into the military's handling of UFO information and the flow of intelligence within the Navy. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the complexities of UFO encounters, the importance of witness accounts, and the personal impact of public disclosure on their identities. They explore the philosophical implications of government secrecy and the quest for knowledge, leading to a journey into hermetic philosophy and the search for deeper truths. In this segment of the conversation, Matthew Roberts shares his journey of searching for connection within the UFO community, his serendipitous encounter that led him to discover MUFON, and the series of coincidences that unfolded one fateful night. He describes a terrifying experience that challenged his understanding of reality and the analytical mindset he held. The discussion delves into the high strangeness of his gas station encounter, the struggle between rationality and the unexplained, and ultimately, his embrace of the unknown as he navigates deeper experiences with the phenomenon. Matthew also shares his profound experiences with UAPs and the psychological implications of these encounters. He reflects on his childhood, where strange occurrences shaped his understanding of reality, and discusses the tension between rationality and the high strangeness of his experiences. Matthew emphasizes the importance of recognizing patterns in these phenomena and how they relate to philosophical thought throughout history.

BCR Movie Night! https://bcr.bio/movie Hope to see y'all there!

***NOT A PRO-SETH EPISODE*** [disclaimer below] About this episode: Dive into the wild, chaotic whirlpool of New Age spirituality, ancient god theories, and some seriously puzzling readings! On Episode 114 of the Black Cat Report, we unravel the mysteries and absurdities surrounding Jane Roberts' "Seth Speaks" and its profound (read: verbose and repetitive) impact on the New Age movement. Gil and Joey, joined by Kristen from the Paranorm Girl Podcast, take you on a hilarious, skeptic-fueled journey through bizarre theories and tantalizing tangents. Ever wondered if ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics had punctuation marks or if communicating with the dead could become your nightly routine? We cover that—and more—while dissecting Seth's ramblings and tackling the enigmatic essence of the soul. Context takes a back seat as we discuss quirky life philosophies and marvel at how a book that sold millions managed to leave us more confused than enlightened. Enjoy a comedic exploration of maniacal New Age beliefs, with Joey contemplating tattoos and Gil fantasizing about being a trickster god. Hear Kristen share why she's drawn to manifesting while still keeping a skeptical edge. So, whether you're in it for the laughs or the philosophical deep dives, Episode 114 is one roller-coaster you won't want to miss. Trust us, when we say we've got stuff in the works, it'll be worth the ride! And don't forget to send in those Western North Carolina or Eastern Tennessee hurricane conspiracy theories—we're all ears! GUEST HOST INFO: Kristen from Paranorm Girl Podcast

https://ghost.beer/join From the infamous Affair of the Diamond Necklace and Marie Antoinette's involvement, to how Saint Germain's warnings about the downfall of the monarchy came true. The conversation then shifts to Saint Germain's connection to Thomas Mesmer and his influence on the development of hypnotism and personal magnetism. In this part of the conversation, Gil and Joey discuss Saint Germain's encounter with Bavarian soldiers during World War I. They speculate on Saint Germain's motivations and the possibility that he couldn't control where he ended up in time. Count Saint Germain's mysterious appearances throughout history, including dining with the Council of Trent, inspiring the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and meeting Guy Ballard to start the I Am Activity cult. The image of Saint Germain with Madame Blavatsky is a drawing, not a real photo. The Ascended Masters are beings who go beyond human potential and drive the evolution of humanity. Saint Germain's involvement in historical events is often accompanied by strange occurrences, such as fires destroying evidence. Herbert, Saint Germain's comedic copilot, adds humor to the narrative. In this part of the conversation, Joey and Gil discuss the theory that Count Saint Germain was the wandering Jew and the connection to Nicholas Flamel, the alchemist who created the Philosopher's Stone. They also joke about opening a falafel restaurant called The Philosopher's Stone and a hummus restaurant called We're All Humans and Hummus. Saint Germain, also known as Nicholas Flamel, may have been a time traveler who appeared throughout European history. He was a jack of all trades and generally looked upon as a nice person. However, he didn't actively try to help humanity with his time travels. He tried to warn some people about future events, but it didn't work out. Eventually, he gave up and started partying with his friends, sharing stories of the historical events he witnessed. Saint Germain's story is a reminder that life is about enjoying the present and creating memories with loved ones.

Our Patreon: ⁠https://bcr.bio/support⁠ This week we went deep into the wild life and times of Count Saint Germain—seriously, it's like this guy was living in a historical action-adventure flick. From time-traveling antics to secret peace talks and political intrigue, Saint Germain's life was far from boring! Saint Germain wasn't just your average storyteller; he was flinging around wisdom that had people scratching their heads in utter amazement. Imagine chatting with someone who's supposedly 45 but knows way too much for his age. We kicked things off with his involvement in peace talks between King Louis XV and England, which, of course, ended in major political drama and the king ultimately giving him the boot. Even after he warned the king about France losing its New World territories to England, no one took him seriously—bummer. One of the more eyebrow-raising moments was our chat about the "Le Marchant box" or "cage of desire." It's some kind of pleasure-inducing object, and yeah, we had our fair share of laughs and innuendos about that one. Plus, we couldn't ignore how talented he was—50 musical compositions! The man was a one-man symphony. Things get even more intriguing with the whole immortality or time travel theory, especially since he looked like he hadn't aged a day for decades. His travels to Persia and India? Just another layer of his knowledge about nature, precious stones, and gem manipulation. Legend has it he could even turn flawed diamonds into something more valuable—alchemy at its finest. His Russian escapades were straight out of a spy novel. He was involved with Catherine the Great and even disguised himself as a Russian general. Can't forget about the drama around his supposed death in 1784 either—people aren't convinced he actually died, which leaves us all scratching our heads and eager for part two. Our episode was packed with all this intrigue, sprinkled with some of our usual banter and pop culture shoutouts. We even shared some behind-the-scenes fun for our Patreon fam and managed to chat about Colonel Sanders and mashed potatoes. Because, why not? So, what did we learn? Count Saint Germain's story is a wild mix of myth, history, and a ton of “wait, what?” moments. He's a legend for a reason, and we're just getting started. Stick around for part two—this ride is far from over!

We kicked things off by talking about Kiuchi's early life in Japan, his time in the Air Self-Defense Force, and the intense pain that led to his collapse. Picture this: the pain was so extreme he felt like he was being pulled inside out through his stomach. During his NDE, he saw deceased relatives, was led by a mystery woman to a golden light, and experienced stuff straight out of a sci-fi movie. We then discussed his miraculous recovery, where doctors had declared him dead for 30 minutes, leaving the medical staff baffled.

In this conversation we explore the fascinating poltergeist case of Joasia Gajewski, which lasted for seven years and involved violent poltergeist activity. The case is well-documented and witnessed by numerous credible individuals. In this conversation we delve into the initial outbreak of the activity, the reactions by the community, and the impact on Joasia's life. We also discusses the scientific tests conducted on Joasia and the remarkable abilities she demonstrated, such as bending spoons and other objects. The conversation raises questions about the nature of poltergeist activity and the possible explanations for it as well as various hypotheses and theories that may explain the poltergeist phenomena, including hormonal changes during puberty, brain anomalies, and the concept of a multidimensional universe. Our conversation concludes with a recommendation to read the book 'The Elusive Force: A Remarkable Case of Poltergeist Activity and Psychokinetic Power' published by Anomalist Books. https://www.anomalistbooks.com/ Buy the Book: https://www.amazon.com/Elusive-Force-Remarkable-Poltergeist-Psychokinetic/dp/1949501264 Contact Joel: ⁠joeldecostern@gmail.com⁠ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/black-cat-report/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/black-cat-report/support

Antonio Boggia, also known as the Monster of Milan, was the first Italian serial killer. Known for brutally murdering and dismembering his victims' bodies, Boggia's motive was not for sexual pleasure or power but purely for financial gain. He used his skills as a building contractor and his ability to speak multiple languages to deceive his victims. Despite inquiries into the disappearances, Boggia managed to evade suspicion for over a decade. When he was eventually caught and sentenced to death by hanging. The resulting execution was one of the last public hangings in Italy.

This episode explores the world of micro-terrestrials, mini-UFOs, and their tiny occupants in Malaysia. The hosts discuss various encounters with small UFOs and miniature humanoid beings reported by children and adults. These encounters include sightings on school grounds, beaches, and soccer fields. The hosts highlight the lack of awareness and pop culture influence surrounding these encounters in Malaysia compared to other regions. They also mention the presence of normal-sized crafts appearing in later years. Overall, the episode provides a fascinating look into the lesser-known aspect of UFO encounters. In part of the conversation, Gil and Joey discuss a newspaper article from 1970 about a micro-terrestrial encounter at a Malaysian school. They highlight the biases and dismissive attitudes of the newspaper towards the witnesses and the phenomenon. They also discuss the reactions of the townspeople and the potential influence of external pressure on suppressing the truth. The conversation touches on the idea of controlling the narrative and the possibility of similar incidents happening unnoticed. They also make humorous observations about the tiny aliens wearing tracksuits and the connection to microtransactions in video games.

Next Beer, Boos, Boogeymen: ⁠https://bcr.bio/next-b3/ Pedro Pablo Nakada Ludeña, also known as El Apostol de la Muerte, was a serial killer from Peru. He had a traumatic childhood, with an abusive father and a mentally ill mother. He claimed to have been assaulted and raped by his siblings at a young age. Pedro joined the Peruvian Air Force but was quickly kicked out due to his diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia and psychopathic tendencies. He found pleasure in killing animals and claimed to have killed his first human victim for stealing a watermelon. Pedro Pablo Nakada Ludeña, also known as The Cleaner embarked on a murder spree in Peru, claiming 17 victims in less than two years. His delusions led him to believe that he was a 'cleaner' who needed to rid society of prostitutes, drug addicts, homosexuals, and robbers. His first victim was shot on a beach, and he proceeded to steal the victim's money and wallet. Pedro's murders followed a pattern of shooting his victims and then stealing their belongings. Listen in as Joey takes us through his life and murders and Gil gives us his takes on some theories of his brother Vayron Jonathan Nakada Ludeña.

In Episode 93, we delved deep into a narrative that toes the line between covert operations and the stuff of science fiction. This is just the first part of a two-part series where we scrutinize an event that's as unnerving as it is unbelievable; a story involving DC Long, an Army Airborne Ranger, who stumbled upon a sight that challenged reality itself beneath the earth at a clandestine location dubbed "Range 19." In 2010, amidst the tapestry of military life near Fort Bragg—recently renamed Fort Liberty—DC Long accompanied his father, a contractor for the Department of Defense, on a routine job site evaluation. Or so they thought. What they encountered was a military operation shrouded in secrecy, where they were escorted into an underground facility. Once inside, they were greeted by a puzzling vision: a gargantuan granite slab suspended in midair. Looming in the dim light, with scientists milling about, the slab hovered without any visible means of support, vibrating yet deathly silent, while a strange black box sat on top. DC's riveting experience sounds like something ripped from the pages of a speculative novel, yet its implications are rooted in our world's stark reality.

This week we're breathing new life into one of the most critical cases is UFO history. The abduction of Betty and Barney Hill! But this isn't just a replay, not at all. Gil has spent hours painstakingly cleaning up and restoring the original recording of Betty Hill's first hypnosis session. Hope You Enjoy :) Backstory: Betty and Barney Hill reported an extraordinary encounter with alien beings on the evening of September 19, 1961, while en route to their Portsmouth, New Hampshire, residence from a trip to Montreal, Canada. Driving through New Hampshire's White Mountains, they observed an illuminating aerial object seemingly in pursuit of them. Drawing nearer, this object purportedly revealed entities with humanoid forms. In a state of alarm and perplexity, the couple persevered on their journey home, only to discover a lapse of approximately two hours in their timeline that they could not explain, and their recollection of the events was hazy. Subsequent to the event, they were plagued by intense dreams and a sense of unease, prompting them to seek psychological therapy. Subject to hypnotherapy by Dr. Benjamin Simon, the Hills detailed an experience of being whisked onto the spacecraft and undergoing medical procedures performed by the alien entities. In an intriguing detail, Betty recounted being shown a celestial chart by an extraterrestrial, which has since been analyzed by enthusiasts in an attempt to match it with actual star systems. The abduction narrative of the Hill couple is among the most recognized and thoroughly examined in the annals of UFO research. It gained notable attention following John G. Fuller's book "The Interrupted Journey" and the subsequent adaptation for television, "The UFO Incident." While some skeptics have posited the possibility of psychological distress, misinterpretation of natural or astronomical events, or subconscious influences from science fiction as explanations, the incident has nonetheless left an indelible mark on extraterrestrial and UFO discourse, frequently referenced in examinations of the existence of extraterrestrial entities and associated human encounters. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/black-cat-report/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/black-cat-report/support

Join us on an enthralling journey back to the late 19th/early 20th century, as we unravel the true history of a villainous group known as The Black Hand Society. In part on of this series Joey guides us as we delve deep into how this notorious society was brought to its knees by a fearless Postal Inspector, John Frank Oldfield. Drawing from the well-researched book "Inspector Oldfield and The Black Hand Society" by William Oldfield and Victoria Bruce, we explore how Oldfield's great-grandson pieced together a fascinating narrative from family keepsakes. In this episode, we shine a light on the black-and-white days of postal inspectors, who were the unsung heroes of their time. We'll understand the high stakes of being a postmaster back in the day and how Frank Oldfield's upbringing and personal convictions set the stage for his eventual clash with the Black Hand. We also dive into the background of our second protagonist, the adept and chameleonic detective Francis Dimaio, also known as The Raven, who infiltrated the mafia with his cunning and resourcefulness.
