In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore the latest discoveries in lunar geology, the intriguing concept of dark dwarves, and the stunning features of the Carina Nebula.The Youngest Basaltic Lunar MeteoriteScientists have uncovered a 2.35 billion-year-old lunar meteorite, Northwest Africa 16286, which fills a significant gap in our understanding of the Moon's volcanic history. This meteorite, distinct in its chemical profile, suggests that volcanic activity on the Moon persisted longer than previously thought, unveiling new insights into its internal heat generation processes. Lead author Joshua Snape from the University of Manchester explains how this rare sample enhances our knowledge of lunar geology without the costs associated with space missions.Hypothetical Dark Dwarfs and Dark MatterA new study proposes the existence of hypothetical objects called dark dwarves, which could help unravel the mystery of dark matter—an invisible substance that constitutes approximately 80% of the universe's mass. Researchers suggest that these low-mass objects could interact with dark matter in ways that produce observable effects, providing a potential pathway to understand this elusive component of the cosmos. The study highlights the importance of identifying markers, such as lithium-7, to confirm the existence of dark dwarfs and advance our understanding of dark matter.Adaptive Optics and the Carina NebulaUsing adaptive optics, astronomers have achieved unprecedented clarity in imaging the western wall of the Carina Nebula, revealing intricate structures previously hidden by dust and gas. This breakthrough allows for a deeper investigation into star formation processes in this massive stellar nursery. The enhanced images showcase how massive young stars influence their surroundings and contribute to the cycle of stellar life, offering a glimpse into the conditions that may have shaped our own solar system.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physicshttps://www.journalofcosmology.com/Nature Journalhttps://www.nature.com/natureBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 00:49 04:51 09:17 15:16 17:08

Three key details inform us that the recent, 2017 and onward, reporting on the UFO/UAP is nothing but a rewriting of the historical narrative using archaic psychological military-intelligence scripts. One, that AATIP spent only $22 million on research between 2012 and 2017, which pales in comparison with government waste, especially for a subject so critical for air safety and national security. Two, the curated cases investigated by the ODNI and DOD-AARO ignore countless credible global reports about the same. Three, the nature of the reporting and investigation are methods of “education” and “debunking” as laid out by the intelligence and military communities back in a 1953 Report called Robertson Panel. Compare that report with statements from the ODNI today:“That the evidence presented on Unidentified Flying Objects shows no indication that these phenomena constitute a direct physical threat to national security...”The ODNI reports says, “UAP continue to represent a hazard to flight safety and pose a possible adversary collection threat,” a standard policy for what cannot be identified; but the conclusion that these are only “potential risks” indicates that the risks “it poses as both a safety of flight hazard and potential adversarial activity,” are only potential. There is no actual threat. “We suggest that these aims may be achieved by an integrated program designed to reassure the public of the total lack of evidence of Inimical forces behind the phenomenon, to train personnel to recognize and reject false indications quickly and effectively, and to strengthen regular channels for the evaluation of and prompt reaction to true indications of hostile measures.”The ODNI report says, “AARO has been established as the DoD focal point for UAP... AARO is the single focal point for all DoD UAP efforts, leading a whole-of-government approach to coordinate UAP collection, reporting, and analysis efforts.” In other words, the ODNI statement is a public relations campaign equivalent to the quote above.“That the national security agencies take immediate steps to strip the Unidentified Flying Objects of the special status they have been given and the aura of mystery they have unfortunately acquired…”This is precisely the goal of AARO and the reclassification of UFO to UAP, which relates to the next line from the 1953 report: “The Panel's concept of a broad educational program integrating efforts of all concerned agencies was that it should have two major aims: training and ‘debunking'.”It says that the, “basis of such education would be actual case histories which had been puzzling at first but later explained... Recent cases are probably much more susceptible to explanation than older ones; first, because of ATIC's experience and, secondly, their knowledge of most plausible explanations.”And this is why the Tic Tac has been so popular; the story is old enough to remain distant from proper investigation, but new enough to provoke interest. With the declaration by Ross Coulthart that the object is Lockheed Martin technology, the UAP movement has fulfilled the 1953 agenda. A recent case with a history, at first seen as puzzling but then later explained. The 1953 report further suggested employing psychologists, including Dr. Hadley Cantril, who wrote the study of the panic that followed the Orson Welles WOW broadcast in 1938, a story that took place in the area where the recent New Jersey drone sightings also occurred. When the Pentagon's UFO Mythology script was leaked in 2025, coupled with the AARO discovery that the USAF gave fake classified material to commanders, it became clear that all the congressional investigations were nothing short of a ruse. The discrediting of the whistleblowers did not so much discredit them as it did the role they served. The 2025 Pentagon UAP report reinforced these revelations. The narrative circle is complete. People got too close to UFOs 75 years ago, so the military and intelligence communities intervened to spread dis and mis information, and also to cover up their own programs. The narrative has been re-introduced in 2017 so that it can be misdirected again.Following this up is the revelation of a black goo substance found by a ship captain in Ohio. Is it in anyway related to the Sukunaarchaeum Mirabile (Sukuna-biko-na)? Analysis indicates that it contains “20 DNA sequences,” one of which was completely novel. In the X Files this is the vehicle for an alien virus; in Alien, including Prometheus, it is the life force of the xenomorph and what created mankind; in Venom it is an alien parasite; in District 9 it is a alien bio-agent; in Lucy it represents the merging of consciousness with machines; in Event Horizon it is a portal to hell. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

In this episode we explore Paper 112:3 and the three kinds of death. The subject of human personality is also clarified, and we learn what happens to our spirit when we pass from the human life to the next stage of existence on the Mansion worlds. The revelators offer a comprehensive explanation of the phenomena of death - but also the more important concept of survival of the human personality beyond the limitations of material life.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore some of the most exciting recent discoveries in astronomy, including the largest Oort Cloud comet ever observed and remarkable achievements from NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover.Comet C/2014 UN271 Bernardinelli-Bernstein: A Giant from the Oort CloudAstronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery by detecting molecular activity in Comet C/2014 UN271 Bernardinelli-Bernstein, the largest and most distant active comet ever observed. Originating from the Oort Cloud, this colossal comet measures nearly 140 km across, revealing complex jets of carbon monoxide gas and providing insight into its behavior far from the Sun. Observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile have confirmed its status as the largest known Oort Cloud comet, offering a rare glimpse into the chemistry and dynamics of these distant celestial objects.Nasa's Perseverance Rover Sets New Distance RecordNASA's Mars Perseverance Rover has achieved a new milestone, traveling 411 meters in a single autonomous drive while exploring the Jezero Crater. This episode highlights the rover's innovative AUTONAV self-driving system and its 30th Abrasion Study of a Martian rock named Kenmore. The findings reveal significant mineral compositions, including clay minerals, iron, and magnesium, enhancing our understanding of Mars' geological history and potential past habitability.Exoplanets Triggering Stellar FlaresAstronomers have discovered that certain exoplanets in close orbits around their host stars can trigger powerful stellar flares, leading to atmospheric erosion over time. This groundbreaking finding, reported in the journal Nature, demonstrates the interaction between planets and their stars in a way never before observed. The study, conducted using the European Space Agency's CHEOPS spacecraft, reveals that these energetic flares can significantly impact the evolution of the orbiting planets, providing new insights into the dynamics of stellar systems.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1538-4357NASA Perseverance Roverhttps://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/Nature Journalhttps://www.nature.com/natureBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

What begins as a quiet weekend camping trip for two off-duty Air Force servicemen spirals into one of the most disturbing and credible alien abduction accounts in modern history.In this episode, we explore the chilling true story of Terry Lovelace—an attorney, veteran, and former Assistant Attorney General—who has spent decades coming to terms with what happened to him in the summer of 1977 at Devil's Den State Park.Terry and his friend had set up camp in a remote clearing, expecting nothing more than a peaceful night under the stars. But as darkness fell, the forest around them grew eerily silent—unnaturally so. Without warning, an enormous, black, triangular craft appeared overhead, hovering soundlessly above their campsite.That's when time itself seemed to fracture. The next thing they knew, hours had passed, and they were back in their tent—terrified, confused, and unable to explain what had happened. Years later, under hypnosis, Terry would recall the horrifying details of that missing time: the pale, expressionless entities, the cold examination tables, and the overwhelming sense of powerlessness. Disturbingly, a routine medical X-ray would later reveal a mysterious implant in his leg—an object that doctors couldn't explain, and which seemed to emit radio frequencies when scanned.This isn't just a story of an abduction—it's a story of trauma, buried memory, and the terrifying possibility that we are not only being watched… but taken. And if Terry Lovelace's experience is to be believed, they may not have been the first… or the last.Whether you're a staunch skeptic, a believer in the unexplained, or just someone fascinated by the dark fringes of reality, this is one story that will rattle your sense of what's possible.

During the Prohibition era (1920–1933), when the U.S. government banned the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol under the 18th Amendment, bootleggers emerged as key players in the illegal liquor trade. These smugglers and illicit distillers supplied alcohol to a thirsty public, often producing homemade “moonshine” or smuggling foreign liquor from Canada, Mexico, or the … Continue reading Episode 462: Bootleggers and Prohibition

After years of trauma and addiction, I found the support of the experiencer community and have since dedicated my life to help others move across the threshold from a limited framework of materialism into an enchanted animate world complete with sacred interior landscapes. My work is based on the idea that the “phenomenon” is a developmental driver, and that it invites us to explore the very nature of reality.For many years I have received teachings from a collective of entities I call the Four Who Are One. They and others have given me a pathway that has brought me on a journey through development and maturation, as well as deep into spiritual study and practice. I now act as a guide and supportive team member for others who find themselves called to the same journey.

A Vietnam War helicopter mechanic named Frank vanishes in 2024. Left behind: a handwritten account spanning 50 years. It starts with “foo fighters”—strange lights pacing U.S. aircraft in Vietnam—and ends in the Oregon wilderness, where similar lights appear at a remote fishing spot called Devil's Elbow. Frank returns decades later with a drone enthusiast named Chris. They pick up disturbing electromagnetic readings. Then Chris disappears too. Frank's technical eye and military background give weight to his account—he wasn't imagining things. The question is: what's watching us, and why?Story 2: The Hitchhiker Beyond the Truck StopAlong I-40, truckers keep seeing the same thing: hitchhikers who vanish without a trace. They look real, talk normal, give directions—and then disappear, often right outside a truck stop or gas station. The pattern spans states and decades. The most haunted stretch? Between New Mexico and Tennessee.Some think these phantoms are tied to sites of past trauma—accidents, lost towns, graveyards buried under asphalt. Others think something older is using the roads—and us—for something we don't yet understand.

Across the vast and shadowy landscapes of North America, unsettling encounters continue to be reported—accounts of beings that defy natural classification. Whether deep in the forests, along remote highways, or even near suburban developments, something lurks in the periphery of our understanding. Tonight, on Phantoms & Monsters Radio, we ask a fundamental question: are these unknown entities merely undiscovered natural creatures, traditional cryptids like Bigfoot and Cryptid Canines, or could they be something far more terrifying?The testimonies we'll explore have been submitted directly to me and my trusted colleagues. Eyewitness accounts from ordinary people who have stumbled into extraordinary situations. Some describe flesh-and-blood creatures with unnatural intelligence, while others speak of entities that flicker between dimensions, appearing and vanishing in ways no biological organism should. These reports challenge not only zoological norms but also the very boundaries of what we consider real.In many of these cases, the behavior of the entity is as perplexing as its appearance. There are incidents of telepathic communication, electromagnetic disturbances, and unexplained fear. Phenomena that suggest something beyond a hidden species. Are we dealing with interdimensional beings cloaked in animal form? Experimental biological constructs? Manifestations of our collective psyche? The lines are increasingly blurred.As always, we present these stories not as fiction, but as part of the living archive of anomalous encounters being reported across this continent. Our goal is not to sensationalize, but to offer a platform for those who have experienced the unexplained and to provoke critical thought among listeners who dare to confront these mysteries head-on.So, prepare yourself for a journey into the unknown. This isn't just about creatures in the woods; this is about the very fabric of reality being peeled back, one sighting at a time. Are we dealing with cryptids, natural beings yet to be discovered, or are we brushing up against something far more primal and far more terrifying?Hi. My name is Lon Strickler.

Not only that, but it dances across the sky, some fall to their knees, convinced they've seen a miracle. Others leave shaken, certain they've witnessed something far stranger. A celestial event that still defies explanation.Brief Encounters is a tightly produced, narrative podcast that dives headfirst into the world of UFO sightings, the paranormal, cryptids, myths, and unexplained legends.

During World War II, several thousand women served as concentration camp guards in Nazi Germany, particularly within the SS women’s auxiliary.

Recruited largely from working-class backgrounds, many were trained at Ravensbrück before being assigned to other camps. … Continue reading Episode 460: SS Women – Female Concentration Camp Guards

We follow Boldon and Spike as they are forced to team up with another lost orphan of the world, Matilde. The trio of heroes go on a globetrotting adventure that takes them to a magical, mysterious place called the Golden City of Eyes. As they quest across this epically crazy new world looking for answers and purpose, they face off against dark forces big and small, changing the world better along the way. In each book in the series, our heroes travel to different parts of the magical world of Phenomena by various modes of transportation, each more and more fantastical than the mode that preceded it. Each journey is personal, and every chapter takes the trio toward a different, visually iconic destination, and each location, character, and chapter reveals clues to the shape of the world and how they got there—and, ultimately, their purpose. With Phenomena, Brian Michael Bendis and André Lima Araújo deliver a universe chock-full of unforgettable characters, full-tilt action, and stunning imagination and world-building that is perfect for fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

In this episode, we head to Christchurch, New Zealand, where Daryl recalls two powerful and unexplained encounters, The first took place in 1973 during a regular school day at Roydvale Primary. Without warning, three silent silver discs appeared in the sky above the school. The sky changed in an instant, the world went quiet, and time seemed to stop. Dozens of students and teachers stood frozen, watching the objects pass overhead. Then, just as suddenly, everything returned to normal, no one spoke about it afterward, not for years.The second event happened sometime later, not far from the same spot. During a walk through a familiar paddock, Daryl and his brother Glenn came across a massive structure that hadn't been there before. It had no doors, no windows, and no explanation, and the next morning it was gone.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/ep-337-the-roydvale-school-incident/Hidden Cults (Promo)It is a documentary-style podcast that digs deep into the world's most extreme, elusive, and explosive fringe groups.
