    In this episode, Brian sits down with Andy, a Virginia native whose life has been shaped by a series of unsettling and deeply personal encounters that began when he was just four years old. Andy takes listeners back to his earliest memories of glowing red eyes peering into the darkness outside his rural home, an experience that would mark the beginning of a lifelong connection to the unknown.As the years unfold, he recounts increasingly intense moments in the woods, from unexplained rock-throwing incidents and eerie, unidentifiable vocalizations while hunting, to overwhelming odors and strange activity that seemed to track him through the mountains of Virginia.Andy's account is rich with detail and reflection, blending fear, curiosity, and a persistent search for understanding. He opens up about late-night investigations, moments of doubt, and the difficulty of reconciling these experiences with a world that often dismisses them outright.The conversation also explores the weight of skepticism, the challenge of putting language to something so elusive, and how these encounters have quietly but profoundly influenced the course of his life. Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

    In last week's blog, we looked at a case from Spain that involved three airmen who were stationed at a Spanish Air Force base near Talavera La Real. It was investigated by Juan José Benítez who wrote a report (page 4 of the pdf) and sent it to Flying Saucer Review. The report was translated into English by Gordon Creighton, and it was published in the Vol. 23, No. 5, February 1978 issue.According to Benítez, the three airmen, José María Trejo, Juan Carrizosa Luján, and José Hildago were on guard duty after midnight on November 12, 1976. Trejo and Carrizosa were in their sentry boxes, and Hildago was on patrol with a German Shepherd. At around 1:45 a.m., Trejo and Carrizosa heard what sounded like radio interference, which then turned into a piercing, high-pitched whistle that hurt their ears. The whistle started and stopped repeatedly, and the two men, armed with Z-26 quick-firing rifles, searched the area where it seemed to be coming from.They then saw a light that looked like a flare high up in the sky that lit up a wide area. Hildago came by with the dog and he had also seen the light. They were joined by a corporal and two support guards, and they went to do a search.After hearing branches breaking in a stand of eucalyptus trees and sending the dog in repeatedly, they saw a luminous green figure that was about three meters tall with what looked like a helmet on its head, long arms, thick body, and it didn't seem to have any legs or feet. The men described it as being like a bobbin or a spindle. Read more →

    In the Vol. 23, No. 5, February 1978 Flying Saucer Review, there is a report (page 4 of the pdf) out of Spain headlined, “Encounter at Talavera.” It was written by Juan José Benítez and translated by Gordon Creighton. Benítez got the story from the main witnesses who were three airmen stationed at a Spanish Air Force base near Talavera la Real, close to the Spanish-Portuguese border. He describes the case as “simply staggering.”Benítez explains that the incident occurred on November 12, 1976, and that he got the story firsthand from the witnesses, but kept the details to himself because the three men involved had still been in the service “until a short time ago.”According to Benítez, at around 1:45 a.m., José María Trejo and Juan Carrizosa Luján were in their sentry boxes on guard duty near the fuel depot of the Talavera Air Force Base and Jet Aircraft School a few kilometers from the city of Badajoz. Their boxes were 60 meters apart and they both heard what sounded like radio interference, which then turned into a piercing, high-pitched whistle that hurt their ears. After a few minutes, it stopped, and then started up again five minutes later, this time near Trejo's box. Trejo called for Carrizosa to come over and both men searched the area armed with Z-26 quick-firing rifles. Read more →

    In this episode, we tackle the explosive developments surrounding the recent shooting incident involving an ICE agent and a woman in Minneapolis. President Trump has called for an investigation into the movement of $700 million in cash out of the airport, while FBI Director Kash Patel announces a criminal investigation into the organizers of anti-ICE protests that escalated into violence. John Solomon breaks down the significance of these events, highlighting the FBI's new stance on prosecuting those who obstruct law enforcement operations during protests.Joining the conversation are former law enforcement officials Jonathan Gilliam and Art Del Cueto, who provide expert analysis on the shooting incident. They discuss the video evidence, the legal implications, and whether the actions of the driver posed a legitimate threat to the officer involved. Solomon emphasizes the tragic series of decisions that led to this moment, from immigration policies to local governance, and the responsibility of law enforcement to de-escalate situations whenever possible.Later in the episode, Bobby Charles, former Assistant Secretary of State, shares insights on lessons learned from international law enforcement training that could be applied to improve responses in critical situations like this.

    FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1303 “She Was Told the Boy Was Her Son—But He Wasn't Human: The Elijah Encounter No One Wants to Touch” Tonight on Richard Syrett's Strange Planet, we enter one of the most emotionally charged and polarizing contact narratives you'll ever hear. Maria Cuccia, author of His Name Is Elijah, shares a deeply personal story that begins with faith, family, and motherhood—and then crosses into territory most people refuse to contemplate. This is not a UFO case file or a detached investigation. It's a lived experience shaped by Catholic mysticism, generational trauma, altered states of consciousness, and an alleged non-human encounter centered on an impossible bond: a mother and a child who does not exist in ordinary reality. We're not here to debunk or diagnose—only to ask whether our categories are too small. GUEST: Maria Cuccia is the author of His Name Is Elijah, a memoir exploring faith, consciousness, and an extraordinary encounter that reshaped her understanding of motherhood and reality itself. Writing with vulnerability and conviction, Cuccia examines the collision between mystical experience, psychiatry, and belief, offering a rare inside account of what happens when meaning itself is put on trial. Her work sits at the uneasy intersection of spirituality, trauma, and alleged non-human contact. BOOK: His Name is Elijah WEBSITE: https://mariacuccia.com SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

    In this episode, Patricia, calling from Canada, walks us through a series of experiences that began in early childhood and continued across decades. She recalls recurring night terrors marked by paralysis and the presence of a dark, featureless figure standing in her bedroom doorway. Around the same period, she witnesses a UFO. A large metallic object moves silently just above the treeline before disappearing without a trace. Interwoven with these experiences are vivid dreams, episodes of déjà vu, and the gradual emergence of intuitive abilities that Patricia struggles to understand and control. Set against the backdrop of workplace trauma, serious illness, and major personal change, she begins to question whether these moments are isolated incidents or part of a larger pattern.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/2026Hidden Cults (Promo)It is a documentary-style podcast that digs deep into the world's most extreme, elusive, and explosive fringe groups.

    January 4th, 2026 | Encounter | Hosea 10:12What if the greatest obstacle to experiencing more of God is our comfort with the status quo?In this opening message of the Encounter series, Pastor Todd Kaunitz calls the church to a holy discontentment with lukewarm Christianity and invites us into a deeper, transforming encounter with God. Drawing from Hosea 10:12, Pastor Todd unpacks God's call to spiritual renewal through repentance, heart cultivation, and persistent prayer.This message challenges believers to confront subtle compromise, hardened areas of the heart, and spiritual indifference, while reminding us that there is more of God's presence, power, and fruit available to those who seek Him. Through biblical teaching, historical examples of revival, and personal testimony, listeners are urged to return to holiness, break up fallow ground, and seek the Lord with urgency—until He shows up.This is a call to surrender, consecration, and renewed pursuit of God—for personal revival that leads to awakening in the world around us.Do you know JESUS?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT through giving: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠⁠

    January 4th, 2026 | Encounter | Hosea 10What does it really mean to encounter God—not just know about Him, but experience His presence as a lived reality?In this first message from the Encounter series, Pastor Matt Darby invites us into a deeper understanding of how God moves toward His people and how we respond to experience Him personally. Drawing from Hosea 10, Pastor Matt reminds us that encounters with God don't happen by accident—they happen when hungry hearts meet a willing God.Through Scripture, illustration, and pastoral insight, this teaching explores three ways we prepare our hearts for an encounter with the presence of God: sowing righteousness, breaking up the fallow ground of spiritual drift and hardness, and intentionally seeking the Lord. This message confronts subtle cynicism, self-reliance, and spiritual neglect, while offering hope that God is near, ready, and eager to be found.If you've ever felt weary, disappointed, spiritually dry, or hungry for more of God, this message is a call back to simple faith, renewed hunger, and joyful pursuit—trusting that when we seek the Lord, He will come and rain righteousness upon us.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

    Evangel Church in Tallahassee Florida - Pastor Teryl Todd - Sermons Teaching Preaching Inspiration Help and Hope - Assemblies

    We all want "next time" to look different than "last time," yet we find ourselves repeating the same mistakes in our finances, our marriages, and our parenting. We hope that a new year or a spiritual "mountain top" moment will fix everything, but true transformation isn't found in a feeling—it's found in a new way of thinking. Using the life of the Apostle Paul as a roadmap, Pastor Ryan Kramer breaks down the dangerous assumptions that sabotage our growth and offers a "cheat code" for lasting change. -- The Common Thread: Realizing that we are the recurring factor in our own cycles of regret is the first step toward freedom. -- Encounter vs. Transformation: A powerful moment with God can redirect your life, but only a change in your thinking can transform it. -- The Arabia Season: Why Paul spent three years in "reprogramming" before stepping into his calling, and why you might need to slow down to move forward. -- The Experience Fallacy: Why simply "going through" a trial doesn't make you wiser unless you take the time to evaluate it with God. -- The Knowledge Gap: Knowing better is not the same as doing better; transformation requires a heart-level shift in our priorities. -- The Time Pressure Trap: Why rushing into decisions because "time is running out" almost always leads to the wrong destination. Scriptures for Further Study -- Acts 8:1-3 -- Acts 9:1-6 -- Romans 12:2 -- Galatians 1:15-18 -- Romans 8:28 +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

    In this episode, Patricia, calling from Canada, walks us through a series of experiences that began in early childhood and continued across decades. She recalls recurring night terrors marked by paralysis and the presence of a dark, featureless figure standing in her bedroom doorway. Around the same period, she witnesses a UFO. A large metallic object moves silently just above the treeline before disappearing without a trace. Interwoven with these experiences are vivid dreams, episodes of déjà vu, and the gradual emergence of intuitive abilities that Patricia struggles to understand and control. Set against the backdrop of workplace trauma, serious illness, and major personal change, she begins to question whether these moments are isolated incidents or part of a larger pattern.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/2026Hidden Cults (Promo)It is a documentary-style podcast that digs deep into the world's most extreme, elusive, and explosive fringe groups.

    In this chilling Bigfoot encounter, a Yurok Tribe member shares eight years of terrifying Sasquatch activity on a remote property in California's Lost Coast and Humboldt County region. What began as strange noises quickly escalated into rock throwing, tree knocks, massive woven structures, red glowing eyes, and blood-curdling screams just feet from her home.Living alone in a secluded valley with only one road in and out, she describes being followed through the woods, surrounded at night, and experiencing intense moments where something large paced outside her cabin, shook trees, and vocalized in rage. She recounts encounters involving nest-like structures, stick formations, thrown objects, foul odors, and coordinated tapping signals, suggesting multiple Sasquatch operating together.This firsthand account also explores Native American perspectives, long-term Bigfoot habitation, and the psychological toll of prolonged exposure to unexplained entities. From a mysterious lemur sighting to missing wildlife, strange activity inside the home, and feelings of being watched, this episode raises unsettling questions about what truly lives in the forests of Northern California.If you're interested in Bigfoot sightings, Sasquatch encounters, cryptid investigations, Native American Bigfoot lore, or true paranormal experiences, this episode will stay with you long after it ends. Sasquatch Summerfest 2026 is July 10th through the 11th.

But Bigfoot isn't the only cryptid on his radar.Darren also dives into terrifying Dogman encounters—describing chilling moments that hint at a dangerous, possibly territorial conflict between these two legendary creatures.His stories provide a rare glimpse into the shadowy edge of the unknown, where cryptids clash and researchers tread carefully.  Darren also shores some of the tools that he uses in the field, including game cameras, thermal imaging, and the unexpected role of medicinal plant research in uncovering patterns in cryptid behavior.DBK Investigations YouTube Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

    One shot in the darkness. One moment of fear-fueled panic. And everything the expedition had built with the creatures comes crashing down.In Part Three, we witness the consequences of Jim McAllister's breakdown. Haunted by war, drowning his demons in homemade whiskey, Jim opens fire on a creature standing at the edge of the firelight—and triggers a siege that will test every man's sanity.What follows is a night of absolute terror. Rocks and branches hurled from the darkness. Horses screaming as they break free and scatter. The knocking—not the measured rhythm they'd grown accustomed to, but rapid, frantic, like a thousand hammers striking in unison. And underneath it all, a sound that cuts deeper than any threat: the unmistakable cry of grief. But the creatures don't attack. They could have. They demonstrate exactly what they're capable of—and then they wait. Sam insists there's only one path forward: atonement. Each man must sacrifice something precious. Something that matters. What unfolds is a ritual of exchange that will determine whether the expedition lives or dies.The episode follows the group as they split—some returning east with the journals, others pressing deeper into territory no white man has ever seen. Ancient forests where the trees are older than memory.Creatures walking openly beside them now, no longer hiding.And a meeting with the Wyandot tribe's keeper of history—She-Who-Remembers—who delivers a warning that chills to the bone: "No one who has entered that place has returned.
