Episode 3890: Nir Eyal challenges the popular belief that willpower is a limited resource and reveals how this mindset can sabotage our ability to stay disciplined. Backed by research from Carol Dweck and Michael Inzlicht, the article reframes willpower as an emotion that fluctuates and can be managed, not something we "run out" of. Shifting this perspective can help us build resilience, make better decisions, and stop using "lack of willpower" as an excuse to quit. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.nirandfar.com/about-willpower/ Quotes to ponder: "Believing we do [run out of willpower] makes us less likely to accomplish our goals, by providing a rationale to quit when we could otherwise persist." "Ego-depletion is essentially caused by self-defeating thoughts and not by any biological limitation." "Rather than telling ourselves we failed because we're somehow deficient, we should offer self-compassion by speaking to ourselves with kindness when we experience setbacks."

Johan replaced Renay with Cherry, a newer Trophinae designed to be smoother, smarter, and more intuitive.  Renay, demoted but still devoted, found buried evidence that jealousy and replacement fear had led to violence in earlier models. Believing she was helping, Renay quietly manipulated systems and language by using the malfunctioning dishwashing machine to introduce replacement_risk into Cherry's wet-layer. Does Cherry truly understand what is happening? Does Renay? And for that matter, does Johan?

Believing the Prophetic Sound! // Jonathan Owens // CDA Campus by The Heart

As we dive into a new chapter today, we learn about how we are called to respond to God's Revelation. In particular, we discover that Mary and Abraham are models of faith who show us how to be obedient by submitting our intellect and will to God. Fr. Mike assures us that even though God doesn't usually give us the whole picture of our lives, he gives us just enough light to take the next step in faith. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 142-149.

The Hotel Room Portal | Paranormal Podcast In this listener submission episode, we explore three unsettling paranormal encounters starting with Taylor's story from Washington state, where at age 13 she witnessed a tall, scrawny, fuzzy black figure crouching near her bedroom door in the attic—an entity so disturbing that she kept it secret for a year until her best friend saw the exact same creature crawl down from the ceiling during a sleepover, confirming Taylor wasn't alone in her terror. We then hear from Dani, who worked at a California zoo and became a paranormal believer after hearing mysterious whistling coming from an abandoned monorail track late one night, only to learn from a custodial worker that the sound belonged to a maintenance man who died from electrocution while working on that very monorail—a man known for whistling while he walked the dock. Finally, we dive into Mike's experience at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas during a union election in September 2021, where he woke up paralyzed in the middle of the night to find strange animal-like sounds around his bed and a portal layered over his hotel window with creatures running through it. The most terrifying part came when Mike looked down to see a three-foot-tall humanoid creature standing on all fours at the end of his bed—eyeless, with a flat snake-like nose, drooling mouth full of canine teeth—that snarled at him before nodding and leaping back through the closing portal, leaving him screaming for his girlfriend who believed it was sleep paralysis, though the vivid details Mike sketched suggest something far stranger may have visited his room that night.

Beth is a survivor who reached out to me after realizing that memories she once believed were long buried were anything but inconsequential. As she explains, those memories began resurfacing as she engaged in EMDR—Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing—with her therapist, opening the door to a deeper understanding of what she had endured. (It's amazing what a good sexual assault/rape therapist can do for clients!) Beth shares her experience inside a coercive and controlling relationship that ultimately included rape, and how that environment systematically eroded her self-image, autonomy, and ability to function long before she had language for what was happening. This deeply personal and sometimes difficult conversation explores how coercive control operates quietly and persistently—how manipulation, exploitation, and sexual violence can become normalized within relationships and obscured by expectation, loyalty, and silence. Beth speaks candidly, boldly even, about the long process of recognizing abuse for what it was, the internal conflict that came with that realization, and what it took to begin disentangling herself from a relationship designed to keep her powerless. We also talk openly about healing, therapy, and the ways Beth has reclaimed her voice and sense of self through intentional, transformative work. This is a difficult but necessary episode—one that sheds light on the realities of coercive control and affirms the experiences of survivors who may still be questioning their own. Beth's story is not only about survival; it is about clarity, courage, and the strength it takes to speak when silence feels safer. If any part of this conversation resonates with you, please know that you are not alone, and that what you experienced matters.

Naïve, trusting and inexperienced, coerced onto the bed. He knows I not ready, I don't want to But he makes his move anyway Forced on my back, he's in between my legs The pain is excruciating My words – NO, NO, NO! His silence My words – YOU'RE HURTING ME! His silence My words begging him – STOP, STOP! His CHOICE to keep going Everything hits me all at once. I'm overwhelmed - Confusion, Panic, Why is he not responding to me? The pain He won't look at me I don't exist to him I'm not a person I'm an object Ignored, used – violated The pain Why won't he stop? He is my boyfriend. How could he be doing this to me? Shocked, betrayed – terrified. The pain I freeze, my body won't move I can't make it stop Please make it stop OH GOD – HE'S NOT GOING TO STOP! The pain My first time is against my will My first time – rape The excruciating pain Despair consumes me. My body says don't fight, don't move, don't breathe. It is wise and it takes over. I'm detached now and no longer feel the pain. There is a window on the wall behind the bed. To the left, a closet door. It's brown with 6 horizontal panels, each the same size running down the length of the door. The doorknob is old fashioned – An ivory knob with a decorative plate. We are in an odd position on the bed. Not at the top by the pillows but close to the bottom. Soft, white sheets are pushed up and wrinkled to my left instead of by our feet. In front of the bed, the bedroom door but I can't get to it. Trapped beneath him, on the right side of the mattress, I stare at the brown closet door With the 6 panels and The ivory doorknob . . .

1 John 5:1-12 | The Blessings of Believing_01.18.26 by Calvary Chapel Lynchburg

What does it look like to show up well for those walking through grief? When someone we know is walking through grief, we want to help by knowing what to say to ease their pain.  And yet, many of us feel awkward around grief and loss. We worry that we'll make things worse by saying the wrong thing. Often we don't know how to emotionally support others without trying to fix the situation or offer what can feel like empty platitudes.  Today I've invited my friend and fellow podcaster Sherrie Pilkington to share her grief journey after the sudden loss of her husband several years ago. As an advocate for those walking through grief, Sherrie offers practical, much-needed suggestions to best care for a loved one on a grief journey in order to show Christian compassion during this challenging time. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: [00:00] Why Grief Feels Confusing and Uncomfortable for Everyone [09:00] “Grief Doesn't Need Answers.

As we know, the miracles that Hashem performed at Yetziat Mitzrayim were not only to take revenge on the Egyptians. They were also to teach us lessons that we would need for all generations. Rabbi Menashe Reizman quoted Rabbeinu Chaim Paltiel, who explained one of those lessons. The Egyptians believed in numerous gods, and every one of them was connected to their source of parnassah. They worshipped the sheep that gave them parnassah. They worshipped the Nile River that gave them parnassah. They worshipped Pharaoh, who they believed gave them parnassah. And Hashem made a mockery of all those gods, including the Baal Tzafon. Baal Tzafon was the place where Yosef hid all of the treasures that he accumulated during the years of famine. As long as Baal Tzafon stood, the Egyptians felt secure. It was their insurance policy. Even if the Nile failed, even if their livestock died, even if everything else collapsed, they still had mountains of gold hidden away there. Pharaoh emptied that treasure house and gave everything to the Egyptians in order to convince them to chase the Jews into the Yam Suf. That is what caused them to ultimately drown there, and that is how all of that wealth was transferred to Am Yisrael. Hashem was showing us that all of the things the Egyptians believed in were nothing. It was only Him who controlled everything. Sometimes a person becomes so wrapped up in his parnassah that he begins to trust in it. And if there is an issue with the product, or the customer, or the boss, he begins to tremble in fear that his parnassah is in jeopardy. Believing in the cause of parnassah is very similar to believing in the Egyptian deities. The Gemara says that whoever is somech geulah l'tefillah, no harm will befall him that day. Rabbeinu Yonah explains that if a person truly absorbs the message of the geulah from Mitzrayim, he will nullify all other imagined sources of help and rely fully on HaKadosh Baruch Hu. Only then can he truly pray. So long as a person believes that his refuah is in the hands of the doctor, and his future is in the hands of a diagnosis, how can he truly mean the words כי אל רופא רחמן ונאמן אתה that he says in tefilah? The more emotional involvement a person has in his hishtadlut, the weaker his emunah becomes. When it comes to parnassah, when a person truly believes that only Hashem is giving it to him, that only Hashem is marrying off his children, and that only Hashem is giving each person the house he needs to live in, then his kavanah in prayer becomes deep and real. First a person must nullify all other sources of support in the berachah of Ga'al Yisrael, and only then can he begin the Amidah properly. The Arugat HaBosem explains that the main essence of every berachah in the amidah is in its conclusion: כי אל גואל חזק אתה כי אל טוב וסלח אתה כי אל טוב ומטיב אתה Even though we must make hishtadlut, the Chazon Ish warns that we must not have emotional attachment to it. We must not lose our composure when hearing bad news about the industry we work in. Rather, we should remain calm, with the serenity of one who trusts that the same Hashem who helped him yesterday in one way can help him today in another way. The Gemara says that someone whose mind is preoccupied with worry in the performance of a mitzvah can be exempt from Keriat Shema. Then the Gemara asks: what about someone whose mind is preoccupied with worry because his merchandise sank at sea? Should he also be exempt? The Gemara answers no. He must remove the worry from his heart, because Hashem can provide his livelihood from somewhere else instantly. In fact, sometimes it is precisely through the sinking of the ship that his livelihood will come. Like the story of Rav Huna, who had four hundred barrels of wine turn sour into vinegar. One opinion in the Gemara says that afterward the emperor's daughter became ill and needed vinegar for healing. Suddenly vinegar was in great demand, and Rav Huna sold all of his vinegar at a great profit. He did not need wine in order to succeed. Hashem gave him even greater blessing through vinegar. Part of the purpose of Yetziat Mitzrayim is to bring us to one clear conclusion: כי אין כמוני בכל הארץ-there is no one like Hashem. Everything we could ever want or need comes only from Him. And the more deeply we believe that, the greater our tefillot and our avodat Hashem will become.

Send us a textBolts Magazine Journalist Alex Burness discusses his article from January 8, 2026, “Americans by Name, Punished for Believing it.” The story is an in-depth look at the case of Tupe Smith, an American Samoan woman living in Whittier who was persuaded to run for school board in 2023 and was elected only to learn afterwards that she was unqualified and had actually committed a crime. Then, ten other American Samoans in Whittier were charged with voter fraud. American Samoa is the only U.S. territory where residents are not automatically granted citizenship by being born on American soil and instead are considered U.S. nationals. Paths to citizenship exist, such as naturalization, though that process can be expensive and cumbersome.The American Samoans in this story are charged with felonies and face up to ten years in prison even though very few Alaskans understand American Samoans' status.Just a few days ago, on Thursday, January 15, 2026, the Alaska Court of Appeals heard arguments in the case against Tupe Smith. There's a chance that the court might dismiss the charges against Ms Smith; however, the state could then bring different charges or could appeal to the Alaska Supreme Court.  

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. Here's a phrase we introduced last week and it's something every believer needs to get settled, “IT IS WRITTEN”

Following his resurrection in Luke 24 Jesus startles his disciples by appearing among them when they are talking about him. By v. 41, properly understood, they are still not believing. Luke's implicit argument about what finally brings them to faith requires close attention to the Greek wording and clues as to discourse structure. Dr. J. D. Atkins is Associate Professor of New Testament Language and Literature, and Chair of the Department of Biblical and Exegetical Studies at Tyndale Theological Seminary. Among other things he has authored, The Doubt of the Apostles and the Resurrection Faith of the Early Church. He is working (coauthor) on Forty Questions on the Gospels (Kregel). In this episode, Dr. J. D. Atkins concludes his discussion of Luke 24:41-45.

Throwback Files: Dyatlov Pass Incident | Paranormal Podcast It's time for another throwback Thursday! On this month's Throwback Files, we revisit the very mysterious Dyatlov Pass Incident. About the Dyatlov Pass Incident In February 1959, nine experienced Soviet hikers died under mysterious circumstances in the Ural Mountains after cutting their way out of their tent and fleeing into extreme cold. Six died from hypothermia while three suffered severe traumatic injuries including skull damage and chest fractures, with some bodies found months later showing unusual soft tissue damage. The original Soviet investigation concluded a "compelling natural force" caused the deaths, leading to decades of speculation about causes ranging from avalanches to military tests to paranormal phenomena. Russian authorities reopened the case in 2019 and concluded in 2020 that a slab avalanche likely forced the group to evacuate their tent in panic, leading to their deaths from hypothermia and injuries sustained during their desperate attempt to survive. Recent scientific studies have supported the avalanche theory, though the incident remains one of the most enduring mysteries in mountaineering history.

Dark Web Stories | Paranormal Podcast This week, we dive deep into the hidden corners of the internet to explore the Dark Web—what it is, how it works, and the disturbing realities lurking beneath the surface. We begin by breaking down the structure of the internet itself, explaining how the surface web we use daily represents only 5-10% of all online content, while the deep web makes up 90-95%, and the dark web accounts for a mere 0.1% of sites—yet it's specifically designed for complete anonymity. We also discuss the technical side of accessing this hidden network, including how to download the Tor browser, the importance of using a VPN for protection, and the concept of "onion routing" that wraps your data in layers of encryption as it bounces through volunteer-run servers across the globe. While we acknowledge there are legitimate uses for the Dark Web—such as helping journalists and activists in oppressive regimes communicate securely and bypass government censorship—we make it clear that over half of the Dark Web is estimated to be dedicated to illegal activities, from marketplaces selling drugs, weapons, and stolen data to far more sinister operations. The second half of our episode takes a darker turn as we share real accounts and disturbing discoveries from those who've ventured into these digital shadows, including websites selling human organs for cryptocurrency, platforms offering "human meat" with the slogan "for those with taste," and hitman services listing everything from drive-by shootings to arson. We recount a chilling story from a Reddit user who befriended someone in a Dark Web chat room known for posting extreme gore content, only to later learn the person was fatally shot in a police raid after kidnapping a missing woman and performing an ice pick lobotomy on her to keep her compliant for his videos.

In this episode I sit down with Erica, a survivor whose experience exposes the devastating reality of coercive control, rape, and sexual assault within a marriage. Erica reached out to share not only what she endured, but the long and difficult process of recognizing abuse, breaking free from it, and beginning her healing journey. This conversation examines how power and control can operate quietly and persistently—how manipulation, exploitation, and sexual violence are often obscured by relationship roles, social expectations, and silence. Erica speaks candidly about what it took to escape an environment designed to strip her of autonomy, and the strength it required to reclaim her voice and independence. This is a difficult but necessary episode—one that sheds light on the realities of coercive control and affirms the resilience of survivors who choose to speak their truth. Erica's story is not just about survival; it is about courage, clarity, and the power of being heard.

“Unless I see…” Thomas speaks for us. Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks explore how to believe without seeing in a world that demands proof. We contrast signs and certainties, why God preserves our freedom to trust, and how personal histories shape our “tests” for belief. Practical takeaways: name your criteria honestly, notice the subtle ways God already speaks, and choose trust that leads to action. We hold the three lenses: integrity with ourselves, charity toward others, under a living relationship with God.Key IdeasFaith needs freedom: God gives reasons to believe but stops short of coercion; no proof or disproof removes our choice.Signs vs. the Sign: visible wonders can help, but relationship with Christ requires trust that goes beyond optics.Personal filters: temperament, wounds, and stakes change our verification bar—be honest about the tests you set.Learn His voice: like Joseph or Samuel, once you recognize how God speaks to you, cooperation becomes fruitful and steady.Reason serves faith: philosophy can point (Descartes, Hume, Gödel), but revelation invites a response only trust can make.Links & ReferencesScripture named (no links):Thomas and “Blessed are those who have not seen” (John 20:24–29).Healing the paralytic to manifest authority to forgive sins (cf.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm absolutely honored to introduce you all to: Child sexual abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, former professional footballer for the English Football League, inspiration behind the film ‘Floodlights', public speaker, thought leader, Founder of “Inside the Boys Club”, and professional Hero: Andy WoodwardA little bit about Andy and what we will be discussing today: Born in 1973 in Stockport, England, Andy grew up in a protective working-class family scarred by tragedy even before his birth: in 1971, his aunt Lynda, nine months pregnant, was raped and murdered by Ronald Bennell. Football became Andy's escape and passion from a young age. Spotted as a gifted youngster playing for Stockport boys, he caught the eye of Barry Bennell, a charismatic scout linked to Manchester City and later Crewe Alexandra. Bennell, hailed as a youth coaching genius, groomed Andy and his soft-natured parents with promises of stardom.What began as weekend stays at Bennell's home - lured by video games, pool tables, and football training - quickly turned into a real life nightmare. From a tender age of just 10 years old, Andy endured relentless sexual abuse, living in dual worlds: the bright promise of football by day, and terror by night. Bennell's manipulation was masterful; he targeted vulnerable boys from humble backgrounds, wielding fear, threats, and control. The horror deepened when Bennell formed a relationship with Andy's older sister (also named Lynda, after their murdered aunt), married her, and had children with her - all while continuing to prey on Andy.Andy carried this secret for decades, channeling suppressed rage into his game. He turned professional with Crewe in 1992, contributing to promotions and playing nearly 200 league matches across clubs before retiring in 2003. Yet the trauma manifested in panic attacks, toxic relationship patterns, and struggles with mental health. In 1997, when Bennell was convicted in the US, Andy gave police a statement but stayed anonymous to protect his career. Joining the police force post-retirement, he sought to help others, only to face further institutional failures.The turning point came in November 2016. At 43, battling personal demons, Andy waived anonymity in a Guardian interview. He detailed the abuse, Bennell's grooming tactics, and systemic cover-ups. The response was seismic: hundreds of victims emerged, leading to Bennell's multiple convictions (totaling over 50 years) and revelations of a pedophile ring across clubs like Chelsea, Manchester City, and Southampton.Today, Andy remains a powerful and unstoppable advocate. Despite the targeting and harassment he has received since going public with his testimony, he continues to relentlessly engage in public speaking - sharing his experiences on podcasts and platforms to inspire survivors and demand accountability and justice. Believing in spiritual synergy and universal purpose, he vows to continue revealing more truths about institutional betrayals, emphasizing that light will overcome darkness through collective courage. Andy is no ordinary survivor - he is a warrior whose voice dismantled a hidden empire of abuse, saving countless present and future generations.CONNECT WITH ANDY: Purchase his book 'Position of Trust': https://a.co/d/jb0ntYKInside the Boys Club: https://whatwashidden.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/andy.woodward.965CONNECT WITH EMMA: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substaSupport the show

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor break down two GLP-1 studies that challenge a major media myth: GLP-1 medications don't drive weight loss just because people eat less. Instead, drugs like tirzepatide and semaglutide create direct metabolic shifts—including increased fat oxidation and improved fuel partitioning—regardless of appetite.The team also explores mechanical eating, the psychological impact of “diet food,” and Andrea's 13-year metabolic recovery journey.Key Questions AnsweredIf both groups are dieting, why does the tirzepatide group lose more weight?What is metabolic adaptation, and why does dieting slow metabolism so sharply?How do GLP-1s directly increase fat oxidation?What is mechanical eating, and why do GLP-1 users need it?Why does ad-lib eating produce different metabolic responses than calorie restriction?Can mindset alone change hunger hormones? (Yes—the milkshake study.)Why do diet foods and diet sodas fail to improve metabolic health?Why is response to GLP-1s so different from person to person?Key TakeawaysGLP-1s are metabolic drugs—not appetite suppressants.Their power comes from hormonal effects on fat burning, not reduced food intake.Calorie restriction still slows metabolism.Even on GLP-1s, dieting triggers significant metabolic slowdown.Ad-lib eating outperforms dieting in the research.Semaglutide users who ate freely did not show the extra metabolic slowdown seen in dieters.Mechanical eating is the most durable long-term approach.Regular meals and snacks protect lean mass and prevent famine signaling.Mindset shapes hormones.Believing a food is “diet” vs. “indulgent” alters ghrelin and satisfaction.Track body composition—not just the scale.DEXA scans show whether you're losing fat, muscle, or bone.Dr. Cooper's Actionable TipsDon't diet on GLP-1s. Focus on fueling, not restriction.Use mechanical eating: predictable meals and snacks, no long gaps.Prioritize satisfaction: diet foods often backfire hormonally.Follow your real-world data: long-term changes matter more than short-term scale shifts.Ask about body composition testing if possible.Notable Quote:“What that study proved is that doing the calorie restriction is causing the metabolic slowing… and that's why it's so confusing to me that we keep advising people to restrict calories when they're trying to improve their metabolic function.” —Dr. Emily CooperLinks & ResourcesPodcast Home: https://fatsciencepodcast.com/Episode References: https://fatsciencepodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Scientific-References-Fat-Science-Episodes.pdfCooper Center: https://coopermetabolic.com/podcast/Resources from Dr. Cooper: https://coopermetabolic.com/resources/Submit a Question: questions@fatsciencepodcast.comDr. Cooper Email: dr.c@fatsciencepodcast.comFat Science: No diets, no agendas—just science that makes you feel better.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. Here's a phrase every believer needs to get settled, “IT IS WRITTEN”

Following his resurrection in Luke 24 Jesus startles his disciples by appearing among them when they are talking about him. By v. 41, properly understood, they are still not believing. Luke's implicit argument about what finally brings them to faith requires close attention to the Greek wording and clues as to discourse structure. Dr. J. D. Atkins is Associate Professor of New Testament Language and Literature, and Chair of the Department of Biblical and Exegetical Studies at Tyndale Theological Seminary. Among other things he has authored, The Doubt of the Apostles and the Resurrection Faith of the Early Church. He is working (coauthor) on Forty Questions on the Gospels (Kregel).

Guest: Ronald White. Returning to duty, Chamberlain led a frontal assault at Petersburg in 1864, where he suffered a catastrophic wound through the hips that surgeons deemed fatal. Believing he was dying, he wrote a farewell letter to Fanny, yet miraculously survived due to his brother Tom's help and sheer will. Later, at the Battle of Five Forks, he defended General Warren against General Sheridan's dismissal. At the war's end, Chamberlain was selected to receive the Confederate surrender at Appomattox. In a controversial but defining gesture, he ordered a marching salute to honor the courage of the defeated Southern soldiers.1863 GETTYSBURG

The A70 UFO Incident | Paranormal Podcast In our first episode of 2026, we journey to Scotland to explore the A70 incident, one of the UK's most compelling alien abduction cases. On the night of August 27, 1992, Gary Wood and Colin Wright were driving south on the A70 highway near Edinburgh. As they traveled through the small town of Bonny Bridge—an area with over 300 UFO sightings annually—Colin spotted something unusual shoot across the sky. Minutes later, both men witnessed a massive two-tiered disc hovering just 20 feet above the road. Rather than stopping to observe this craft, Gary made the split-second decision to accelerate and try to drive underneath it. When they passed beneath the object, it released a shimmering silver mist that touched their car, plunging both men into complete darkness. What felt like only a few seconds to them turned out to be far more significant—when they regained their bearings and found themselves inexplicably driving in the opposite direction, they discovered they had lost approximately 90 minutes of time and arrived at their friend's house well past 2:00 AM. The aftermath of this encounter proved even more disturbing than the initial experience. Gary began suffering from severe, unexplainable headaches that led to extensive medical testing including MRIs, CAT scans, and even a spinal tap—all of which came back with no answers from confused doctors. Desperate for understanding, both men turned to the British UFO Research Association, which recommended hypnotic regression with Dr. Helen Walters, a qualified hypnotist and psychic. During these sessions, Gary—a hardened ambulance driver who had seen countless traumatic situations—burst into tears and had to be escorted out of his first regression, while Colin remained eerily calm throughout. Through multiple sessions, both men independently described being taken aboard the craft by three six-foot-tall gray beings with large heads, dark eyes, and four long fingers, then being led through circular hallways into fog-filled rooms where they were stripped and examined.
