In this episode I'm reading from RL Poole's book 'Beneath the Haunted Sky: The Evidence for Alien Abduction'.Best-selling author RL Poole (Featured on History Channel's UnXplained: with William Shatner) writes his most controversial, personal, and explosive book to date, finally releasing his real stories, drawings, photographs, artifacts, and experiences linking together 40 years of alien abduction in a way which will leave you stunned, and much more aware of the unseen world around us. *Does contain some mature subject matter, and images.*Through this book, you can get more than a glimpse of what it is like to be a lifelong alien abductee.The implications of this hard-hitting scientifically presented evidence are staggering when juxtaposed against the pseudo-science of UFO denial. This book features: Amazing close-up photographs of UFO/UAP's witnessed by the author over the course of decades Photos of ground trace effects Artifacts which have been left in the authors possession Physical abduction marks Symbols witnessed during abduction Firsthand accounts of physical interaction with an extraterrestrial species know as the Greys, Real photographs of a witnessed military encounter with a UAP over the skies of WPAFB Much, much moreTold in first person, in journal fashion, the author puts you in the scene as he describes not only the events which occurred, but the very real, and very human thoughts, feelings, and reactions which happen in response to the abduction phenomenon. Along with these personal accounts, there are: Tips to know if you have been abducted, How to cope with alien abductions,along with jaw-dropping science which accompanies these observations. A Life Member of American Mensa, RL Poole brilliantly takes on modern physics, along with the so-called UFO investigators, and for the first time clearly defines the science which must be used to facilitate the observations we have made into the answers which will lead to the unsettling reality that we truly live beneath the haunted sky.BioRL Poole is a high-functioning autistic researcher, lecturer, and best selling author who has recently taken the world by storm with his insightful discoveries, and approaches to problem solving in research, garnering results which are unique to his type of intellect. A Life Member of American Mensa, RL has what is considered an "Untestable" IQ. He exceeds the limits of IQ tests in certain areas which makes him an unknown quantity. This has manifested itself in making numerous discoveries in the field of megalithic research, and is widely considered the worlds foremost expert on the Coral Castle, even by other researchers. Recognized by Graham Hancock as his Author of the Month twice, his discoveries have gotten him noticed by not only other researchers, but also by nation-wide shows like Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, where he has been a featured guest three times, and was hand-picked by Prometheus Entertainment to be their featured expert on the History Channel's hit show, UnXplained: with William Shatner in Season 1 Episode 2, and again in Season 5 Episode 9. His latest book, Beneath the Haunted Sky: The Evidence for Alien Abduction, chronicles his personal experiences with the phenomenon in a stark and honest way, while producing matter-of-fact evidence which pushes back against the denial of skepticism in a way which is powerful and profound.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beneath-Haunted-Sky-Evidence-Abduction/dp/B0CNLSS6YM https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast https://simonbown.com/ My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

GSX 2026 wraps up today, so we're taking a look back at another major event that concluded recently: The FIFA World Cup 2026. James Weston, a team-base camp security specialist for FIFA, kept the Croatian team safe as it trained, practiced, and rested in Alexandria, Virginia, for its North American matches. He shares how he got the gig, what he learned on site, and why he found the players particularly inspiring.

We mark the 25th anniversary of September 11th with a special live broadcast from Doylestown Fire Company Station 19 in Bucks County. Dawn, Nick and Greg pay tribute to the nearly 3,000 lives taken on that fateful morning. We examine the enduring impact on local communities like Bucks County, which lost 18 residents, while bringing you live audio from President Trump speaking at the Pentagon. We hear gripping, raw accounts directly from those who were on the ground in Manhattan during and immediately after the attacks. Volunteer firefighter Jerry Caruso shares his experience heading toward Ground Zero, helping unload supply barges, and joining bucket brigades on the pile. Bank examiner Kenneth Bialmeyer details being trapped inside a subway tunnel beneath Lower Manhattan as the South Tower collapsed, describing the harrowing escape through smoke-filled streets and the eerie quiet that fell over New York City. Later, Doug Ferguson opens up about how his father survived the day inside Hamilton Square, only to battle lifelong trauma and survivor's guilt.

Suggest Guests For Our Podcast: https://forms.gle/ytt6a9jxe8YwzsGD6 Saigrace Pokharel, storyteller and filmmaker, joins the podcast to share his first-hand experience from the Rasuwa flood-affected areas and the reality he witnessed while helping flood victims. He talks about the difficult journey to Rasuwa, damaged road conditions, trauma among survivors, challenges faced by relief workers, and why the needs of flood victims change as the situation develops. The conversation explores the ground reality of the Rasuwa flood, disaster relief in Nepal, over-donation and poor relief coordination, natural disaster preparedness, flood recovery, and the need for stronger disaster management policies. Saigrace also discusses why Nepal must be better prepared for future natural disasters and why failure of the new government could affect an entire generation. Beyond the disaster response, Saigrace Pokharel reflects on receiving the 40 Under 40 Youth Recognition Award, his journey as a storyteller and filmmaker, the meaning of storytelling, and the lessons he learned from visiting Rasuwa. This episode combines stories of resilience, humanitarian support, Nepal flood relief, government responsibility, youth leadership, and the power of storytelling during difficult times. From emotional accounts of people still processing the disaster to practical questions about aid, preparedness, warning systems, and recovery, the discussion offers a closer look at what communities actually need after a flood and what Nepal can learn before the next emergency.

Twenty-five years on, the stories from 9/11 are the ones we cannot let calcify into a slogan. In this replay conversation, Paul sits down with retired FDNY firefighter Rich Naviasky — a Squad 18 brother, English major turned accidental fireman, and one of the countless first responders who walked from a gorgeous blue sky straight into what he calls Armageddon. Rich takes us minute by minute from his Long Island City apartment to the West Side Highway, onto a commandeered MTA bus loaded with tools, into the pile, into the pit, and into the quiet, gutting moments of recovering brothers he could not identify. From there the conversation opens into everything that came after — the 2007 Deutsche Bank fire that killed two of his brothers, the autoimmune disease that dropped his platelet count to 19,000 while the job refused to call it line of duty, the Halloween 2017 bike path attack, and the toll all of it takes on a marriage, a family, and a mind. It's brotherhood, dark humor, mental health, and the fight to make sure no first responder is ever again told their sickness doesn't count. If you want to understand why we say never forget — and why the fight for 9/11 responders is still not finished — start here. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

In this episode of Southern Mysteries, explore the remarkable history of the Great Dismal Swamp maroons, one of the longest-lasting acts of resistance to slavery in American history. Through historical records, firsthand accounts and modern archaeology, this forgotten chapter of Southern history reveals how an entire community survived in plain sight and why so few people have heard their story.

Clay and Creston discuss boat life etiquette, why leaving someone on the island was completely normal, the dangers of Gulf currents, and why this was almost certainly a tragic accident — not a racist plot. Special caller TJ from the Mississippi Gulf Coast joins the show with firsthand insight: he knew Nolan personally, had interactions with the other young men on the boat, and shares the real temperature on the coast amid the media frenzy and social media hysteria.

Spadoni and Shasky give stories of athletes they have met in public and been able to see at work as callers call in and give their stories as well.

Deep woods horror stories have taken over scary-story feeds for a reason: the wilderness is one of the last places where modern people can still feel completely outmatched.In this Thursday Thrills episode, Henrique takes a late-night car ride through supposedly firsthand camping, hiking, park ranger, cave, and backcountry accounts gathered from online folklore threads. These are not presented as verified cases; they are modern campfire stories - the kind people post after something in the woods, on the trail, or outside the tent refuses to leave their mind. From silent strangers at remote campsites to forests that suddenly go dead quiet, mountain lion instincts, bison breathing outside a tent, cave drummers, and Miniwashitu, the Missouri River Monster, this episode explores why wilderness horror remains so powerful.

What happens when advocacy turns into lived experience?In this powerful episode, Freedom Challenge Director Tracy Daugherty sits down with Teresa Vardilos and Jennifer Lemburg to reflect on their recent mission trip to Pattaya, Thailand, where they served alongside the Tamar Center, a long-standing ministry supporting women affected by sexual exploitation.Teresa and Jennifer share what it was like to move from knowing the statistics to standing face-to-face with the realities of human trafficking. Through stories of bar outreach, prayer walks on Soi 6, haircuts, gel nail classes, and deep relational ministry, they reveal how God meets people through consistency, compassion, and presence—not forced transformation.This conversation explores the emotional and spiritual weight of witnessing injustice, the importance of preparation and prayer, and how anger, grief, hope, and faith can coexist. It's a raw, honest look at what it means to say yes when God invites us into hard places—and how that yes can transform both the giver and the receiver.---Watch the interview: https://youtu.be/0U4TD2oVeoMRead the blog: www.thefreedomchallenge.com/blogposts/2026/3/18/trafficking-in-thailand---Want to learn more? The Freedom Challenge US: thefreedomchallenge.comOperation Mobilization USA: omusa.orgInstagram: @freedomchallengeusa / Facebook: @thefcusa

Do dreams happen in our minds? What can lucid dreaming tell us about the nature of consciousness?  Dave Green is a London-based artist who creates drawings not FROM his dreams, but IN his dreams, which he re-creates upon waking. He's the author of Doodles In the Dark: An Artist's Guide to Lucid Dreaming & has participated in lucid & precognitive dream research with my other guest, Damon Abraham, PhD, a parapsychologist & the principal research scientist for the consciousness mobile app Entangled.  In this episode, Dave shows us how he uses lucid dreaming to create art WHILE he's dreaming & Dr. Abraham unpacks the science of the research behind it. You'll hear about the layers of lucid dreaming, when it becomes an out of body experience & how this may be connected to precognition, the debate about where consciousness lives & why Dave is hesitant to label himself as anything other than a lucid dreaming artist. If you liked this episode, you'll also like episode 308: HOW TO THINK IMPOSSIBLY: PRECOGNITION, POLTERGEISTS & TIME Guests:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEf56ussbNkUwXYOBjNQIqg https://www.instagram.com/davegreen5000/ https://x.com/davegreen5000 https://www.linkedin.com/in/damon-abraham-phd/https://entangled.org/ Sponsors: https://www.jordanharbinger.com/starterpacks/ https://www.historicpensacola.org/about-us/   0:00 — Dreams as Art: Meet Dave Green & Dr. Damon Abraham1:06 — Drawing Inside a Lucid Dream3:02 — Waking Yourself Up On Purpose3:26 — What Lucid Dreaming Actually Is5:02 — Control vs. Awareness in the Dream State7:04 — How Both Guests Discovered Lucid Dreaming8:56 — Is a Nightmare Origin Story the Norm?10:10 — Lucid Dreaming vs. Out-of-Body Experiences12:08 — Why "OBE" Is a Loaded Label15:03 — Do Dreams Happen Inside Your Head?18:23 — Researcher Hat vs. Experiencer Hat19:40 — Damon's OBE: The Bathroom Journal Story22:26 — The Lottie Dream Portrait Walkthrough28:22 — Precognition & Verifying What You See29:41 — Did the Telepathy Tapes Help This Research?32:14 — Lucid Dreaming Is More Common Than You Think35:11 — Brainwaves During a Lucid Dream36:20 — How Dave Navigates Dream Scenery39:11 — Dave's Portrait Technique41:23 — The Precognition Experiment Explained45:18 — The Temptation to Avoid Uncomfortable Conclusions48:50 — Is the Brain Generating or Receiving Consciousness?51:21 — Has This Changed How You See Reality?54:55 — The Real-World Utility of Lucid Dreaming58:16 — Dave's Dream Yoga Practice1:00:53 — Third Person Dreams & What They Mean1:01:44 — Giving a Dream Character a Pen1:04:57 — Why You Should Start a Dream Journal1:06:12 — Dave's Book & Dream Portraits1:07:33 — Damon's Entangled AppRequest to join my private Facebook Group, MFR Curious Insiders: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1BAt3bpwJC/Follow me in all the places:https://www.meredithforreal.com/  https://www.instagram.com/the_curiousintrovert/ meredith@meredithforreal.comhttps://www.youtube.com/meredithforreal https://www.facebook.com/curiousintrovert

What happens when your deepest religious convictions collide with a patient suffering from metastatic cancer and no miracle in sight? Medical student Jonah Rocheeld shares the raw tension between his Orthodox Jewish upbringing and the medical ethics he is learning in clinical training, based on his KevinMD article, "End-of-life care and religion: Reconciling Jewish law and medicine." He unpacks the distinction Jewish law draws between withholding and withdrawing care, why that boundary feels certain in a classroom but fractures at the bedside, and how a heated debate with a fellow Jewish medical student forced him to confront where faith ends and patient suffering begins. You will hear why he believes any mature faith must evolve from rules-based absolutism toward nuanced moral reasoning, and what advice he offers religious medical students struggling to separate personal identity from clinical duty in end-of-life care. If you have ever wrestled with where your own ethics stop and your obligations as a health care professional start, this conversation will stay with you. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform. With over three million monthly readers and half a million social media followers, I give you direct access to the doctors and patients who matter most. Whether you need a sponsored article, email campaign, video interview, or a spot right here on the podcast, I offer the trusted space your brand deserves to be heard.

2. WITNESS TO A REVOLUTION: HEIDI AUGUST IN LIBYA Guest Mundy: Guest Mundy recounts Heidi August's 1969 assignment to Libya, where she witnessed Muammar Gaddafi's coup firsthand,. Despite being a college graduate, August was hired as a clerk and only informed of secretarial roles. When the coup began, she was the first American official to identify it, while her male superiors remained unaware. Demonstrating remarkable composure, August drove through gunfire to "burn out" the station and destroy classified cables. This experience sparked her lifelong passion for intelligence work, even as agency rules then barred female clandestine officers from marriage or children,. (3)1956 Hungary
