Spirit Realm: Angels Demons, Spirits and the Sovereignty of God (Foreword by Jordan Maxwell) https://amzn.to/31g9ydRJordan Maxwell, the godfather of western esoterics has been bringing information to the limelight about these topics for years and has since been a forerunner in UFOlogy and the study of aliens. This is most definitely because Jordan Maxwell himself has had encounters with extraterrestrial aliens and UFOs in the past. He has shared some of these stories on podcasts and interviews with Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot. To many, Jordans stories are far fetched and downright unbelievable but one thing they do bring with them is fascination. This fascination is then backed up with Bible doctrines and texts that talk about humans having interactions with angelic beings and objects that sound eerily like UFO ships. These stories are spread wide throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Stories about fire traveling through the skies at night giving protection to the Israelites and then appearing as a cloud by day speaking to and guiding them through the desert. There are so many obscure passages in the Bible that speak about what sounds to be a lot like aliens and UFOs. We can also go into other ancient texts such as the Vedas, The Book of Enki, The Bhagavad Gita and so on and find similar stories of the gods coming down to communicate with man. This has given Jordan Maxwell's work and stories a frame of reference when winning over the minds of those who study the ancient scriptures. There was one story that Jordan told that many people call him on and with this story he loses all credibility for many people. Jordan Maxwell tells a story about an experience that he had when he was a young boy. He tells of how he and his dog trapped a baby T-Rex in the corner of his yard and his dog was barking fiercely at the baby dinosaur. Yes, you read that right, a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex is what Jordan said that they had captured in his yard. Is this just a tall tale or is it ture? One thing for sure is that Jordan Maxwell has some great stories. Heck, have you ever heard the tales of the Thunderbirds that people report seeing? For those who study cryptozoology they are well aware of these Terrordactyl type creatures with reported wingspans of 10 to 15 feet wide.

In this episode of Puppets Go BOOM!, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 1968 sci-fi espionage series Joe 90. A young 9 year old boy named Joe McClaine is helping his adopted father Ian "Mac" McClaine testing his invention the Brain Impulse Galvanoscope Record and Transfer (BIG RAT) where it sends pre-recorded brain wave patterns into the recipient sitting on it. After the test is successful, Sam Loomer, an agent of the World Intelligence Network (WIN) sees the potential of the BIG RAT and Joe, so he proposes to have him as their youngest secret agent with the alias Joe 90. Thanks to the BIG RAT, Joe is able to get the knowledge of pilots, secret agents, piano players, military colonels, racecar drivers, and spies. Armed with a pair of glasses to bring the brain waves into his head, a badge, a walkie talkie, and a gun inside a briefcase, Joe goes on various missions to save people from harm as well as preventing shady weapon trading, assassinations, tortures, and murders from happening. When the show premiered, it was released during the height of the James Bond films being released as well as both The Avengers and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. airing on TV. Kids gravitated to the show putting themselves into Joe 90's adventures wanting to be just like him. However, Joe 90 wasn't as beloved compared to its previous Supermarionation shows due to being more child-oriented and having a smaller cast of characters compared to Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. What did Arun and Patricia think of it? Listen and find out.

In this episode of Puppets Go BOOM!, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 1969 sci-fi espionage series The Secret Service. The show takes in a small English village where a parish priest named Father Stanley Unwin is a secret member of the British Intelligence Service Headquarters, Operation Priest (BISHOP). Together with his partner Matthew Harding, they are giving assignments by the head of the organization The Bishop to uncover secrets while under the guise of a regular vicar. By shrinking Matthew small using a device called the Minimiser, Father Unwin packs him in his suitcase and has him learn the plans of various people of bribery, counterfeiting money, sabotage, or blackmail and reports it to Unwin to stop them. When the show premiered, it received mixed reviews. While Gerry Anderson and Barry Gray called it their favorite Supermarionation show they ever worked on, many people felt it was too eccentric thanks to Stanley Unwin's well known way of speaking gobbledygook, had far less action and adventure, and was too distinctly British to connect to a mass demographic compared to the other shows like Thunderbirds. It was cancelled after 13 episodes and is regarded as the weakest Supermarionation show ever made. The Secret Service would be the final Supermarionation show and Gerry Anderson wouldn't create another show featuring puppets until 14 years later with Terrahawks under the term Hypermarionation. Is it as bad as people say it is?

They explore the show's cultural impact, its innovative use of puppetry through Supermarionation, and the resurgence of interest in the series during the 1990s. The hosts discuss the memorable characters, particularly Lady Penelope, and the representation of women in the show.

In 1965, a groundbreaking children's show using cutting-edge puppets first blast onto television screens. Thunderbirds was set in 2065 and followed the antics of secret organisation ‘International Rescue' which was manned by Jeff Tracy, his team of five sons and agent Lady Penelope. Set up to save humanity, the characters travelled in futuristic vehicles across land, sea and air from their remote base in Tracy Island. It was created by husband and wife Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, who used supermarionation, a pioneering technique with thin wires which controlled the puppets' movements. Their daughter Dee Anderson speaks to Reena Stanton-Sharma.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there.

You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the civil rights swimming protest; the disastrous D-Day rehearsal; and the death of one of the world's oldest languages.(Photo: Scott Tracy in Thunderbirds, circa 1965.

In this episode of Puppets Go BOOM!, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 1968 sci-fi/action/adventure film Thunderbird 6 based on the 1965 series Thunderbirds. Brains creates a airship for the New World Aircraft Organization called the Skyship One. Its maiden voyage starts off on a rough note when a man hired by The Hood under the guise of The Black Phantom killed the original airship crew and replaced them as Captain Foster. Alan, Tintin, Lady Penelope, and Parker are onboard the Skyship One to test out Brains' airship, but are suspicious of Captain Foster with his mannerisms and hidden microphones in their rooms. Meanwhile Brains is trying to create a new Thunderbird vehicle with Jeff's disapproving every design he comes up with.When the film premiered in theaters, it was a box office bomb with negative reviews from critics. It was the last Thunderbirds movie until the 2004 live action film directed by Jonathan Frakes. Is it worse than the first Thunderbirds film or is it a misunderstood gem?

It's Luke's choice this month and to celebrate 60 years since its first broadcast we're looking at Thunderbirds. The episodes in focus are Move and You're Dead and The Imposters.

In this episode of Puppets Go BOOM!, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 1967 sci-fi series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. Taken place in 2068, Captain Black and his crew traveled to Mars to track a mysterious radio signal. They found out that it came from the inhabitants of Mars, the Mysterons. Believing they were going to be attacked, Captain Black and his crew attacks the Mysterons. Vowing for revenge, the Mysterons kills Captain Black and control his mind making him their primary agent to take down his former organization Spectrum led by Colonel White. They almost killed and controlled one of Spectrum's agents Captain Scarlet, but he eventually broke out of their control and is now indestructible. Captain Scarlet, together with Captain Blue and the all female pilots, the Angels, learn more about the Mysterons as they kill off people or destroy vehicles and control them to try to destroy them. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons marked a major change in Supermarionation where the puppets were more realistic looking and had more dynamic cinematography due to Gerry Anderson wanting to stray away from doing movies and shows featuring puppets and doing more live action projects instead. It also went in a darker direction where the violence was increased and the action was more intense than previous Supermarionation shows. For some people, they loved it. Others felt it was too dark and took away the charm of the previous shows, especially after the major success of Thunderbirds. What did Arun and Patricia think of the show?

A 500-ton U.S. Army walker, the Sidewinder, falls into a pit during testing and International Rescue are called to save the crew trapped inside.

In this episode of Puppets Go BOOM!, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 1966 action/adventure sci-fi film Thunderbirds Are Go based on the 1965 show Thunderbirds. The space ship the Zero-X was sabotaged by The Hood from going to a mission to Mars to explore it. International Rescue are being called to supervise the second attempt for Zero-X to complete their mission. Alan feels that he isn't treated as seriously as his older brothers when it comes to being assigned to missions, so he accompanies Lady Penelope to a space restaurant where Cliff Richard Jr. and his band The Shadows are performing. Meanwhile the Zero-X is on the verge on crashing into Earth after being attacked by Martians and it's up to Alan to save the day.When the film premiered in theaters, it was a box office bomb with mixed reviews from critics calling it an extended episode of the show on screen. What did Arun and Patricia think about the film?

In this episode of Puppets Go BOOM!, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 1965 sci-fi action adventure series Thunderbirds in honor of its 60th anniversary. In the year 2065, whenever danger is happening around the world, a secret organization called International Rescue are there to save the day. Led by retired astronaut Jeff Tracy, together with his five sons Scott, Virgil, Gordon, John, and Alan, engineer/scientist Brains, and London agent Lady Penelope alongside her butler Aloysius Parker, they work together to save people from supernatural or man made disasters as well as stop the evil plans of the enigmatic villain The Hood.When the series first premiered, it was an instant hit. Toys, action figures, costumes, and model sets sold by the millions and the show was very popular for kids and adults all over the world. It even influenced people such as Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park, Super Mario Bros. and Legend of Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto, and South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Thunderbirds gained a new audience of kids around the 1980s and 1990s when the stage show Thunderbirds F.A.B. premiered and reruns aired on the BBC. To this day, Thunderbirds is seen as Gerry Anderson's magnum opus and the peak of Supermarionation. Is that statement true? Is it as good as its reputation says it is?

FROM SARAH FERRIS MEDIA — CONmunity PODCAST (FORMERLY CONNING THE CON) An international rescue organisation so ambitious, it would make the Thunderbirds jealous — admirals from every corner of the globe, millions of dollars promised… and one man at the helm who might not be all that he seems. From Sarah Ferris Media, this is THE BADMIRAL — a true-crime investigation uncovering how belief, purpose, and trust can be weaponised in plain sight.

Series spoilers abound! We're watching Season 3, Episode 13 “Any Given Friday Night at 10 PM” and the movie “Any Given Sunday”. A mysterious foot has washed up on the beach and the boys tie it to a Los Angeles football team (The Thunderbirds).

In this episode of Puppets Go BOOM!, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 1964 sci-fi series Stingray. Set in the year 2064, an organization called the World Aquanaut Security Patrol is in charge of policing the World's oceans led by Commander Shore. Stingray, their flagship submarine, is controlled by Troy Tempest and his partner George "Phones" Sheridan. They go on underwater missions and adventures as well as take down the evil tyrannical ruler King Titan of Titanica and his agent X-2-Zero who wears disguises to help King Titan to rule the surface. Stingray was the first British television show in color, the first Supermarionation show to feature puppets with glass eyes, rotating hands, and more humanized proportions to make them more realistic, and what many people call the first "classic" Supermarionation show after learning from the previous shows like Supercar and Fireball XL5. Does it stand the test of time or has it not aged very gracefully and should be called the prototype of later shows to come like Thunderbirds?

What could be more terrifying than flying an F-16 fighter jet at supersonic speeds, only feet away from other aircraft? Well, maybe public speaking. Or asking for a promotion. Or simply facing that inner voice that tells you you're not good enough. Those are the fears Michelle "Mace" Curran needed to overcome. Michelle is an Air Force combat veteran who was also the lead solo pilot for the Thunderbirds, those flying daredevils at air shows. But as scary as all that sounds, in her new book The Flipside: How to Invert Your Perspective and Turn Fear into Your Superpower, Michelle reveals that the most paralyzing fears she encountered weren't in the cockpit at all.

Send us a textThis was supposed to be a roast. A snarky hate-watch of the new Netflix Thunderbirds documentary. Instead? Aaron and Trent got ambushed by feelings. What started as a casual poo-poo sesh turned into a confession of admiration, aviation tears, and redemption arcs that hit harder than a Friday safety brief.We went from “tight flight suits and PR stunts” to "Astro gave up being an astronaut to save the team” — and dammit, we were in. From Primo's struggle bus to elite team dynamics, we broke down what it actually takes to perform under pressure when the whole Air Force is watching.Also in this ep: Marines choke-slamming passengers mid-flight, Memorial Day cringe patrols, fake Viking worship, Jesus-themed t-shirts, PTSD reality checks, and why “No More Drama, Ride a Llama” is now legally trademarked by Ones Ready. This one's unhinged, honest, and somehow… wholesome?

They talk about what people get wrong about courage, the myth of shortcuts, the illusion of importance, and how to push past the voices telling you you're not enough.

My guest: Michelle “Mace” Curran is a combat veteran, former fighter pilot, and only the second woman in history to fly as the Lead Solo for the Thunderbirds, the U.S. Air Force's elite demonstration squadron. Now on a new mission, she's using her story to inspire others. She is the best-selling author of The Flipside: How to Invert Your Perspective and Turn Fear Into Your Superpower. How to run "debrief" so that giving and getting feedback becomes embedded in your culture. The biggest mistake Michelle made when she became a new fighter pilot, and what you can learn from it. Early Exposure to Male-Dominated Environments – Michelle's dad took her hunting with guys starting at age 7, teaching her she "belonged in any room" she wanted to pursue. This early experience prepared her for being 1 of only 2% female fighter pilots. Parents Who Believed in Wild Dreams – Parents worked multiple jobs to afford camps (criminal justice, archaeology) whenever Michelle showed interest in something new. Taught her that opportunities weren't just possibilities - "I could go after it." The Lone Wolf Trap – When struggling in her first squadron, Michelle was afraid to ask questions because she thought it would show she didn't belong. "I wouldn't even ask questions because I felt like asking a question was just so uncomfortable." Three Years of Struggling in Silence – Despite performing well in the air, Michelle spent three years "belly crawling, pulling myself by my fingernails" because she felt pressure to represent all women perfectly. The Fresh Start Power – Moving from Japan to Texas gave her a reset: "No one here knows about my divorce. No one here knows all these struggles I've been going through." Sometimes you need a clean slate to rebuild. Curiosity + Vulnerability = Community – The breakthrough came when fellow pilots asked pointed questions beyond platitudes: "How are you actually doing?" Real curiosity that goes deeper than "let me know if you need anything." The Near Head-On Collision Story – Flying inverted at 500 mph, passing within 80 feet of another jet using only eyeballs for distance measurement. When her student pilot aimed straight at her, she had 2.5 seconds to decide whether to move or hold position. Learning from Mistakes, Not Punishing Them – After the near-collision, Michelle chose teaching over berating: "What is the most productive way we can respond to get the most learning from that?" The student learned faster because he found the boundary. The Debrief Culture Framework – Start with objectives, go through segments systematically, ask "why" five times to find root causes, create specific lesson learned, and share with the entire organization so others don't repeat mistakes. Rank Comes Off in Debriefs – Even generals sit in debriefs led by mid-level captains who are the real tactical experts. "Status comes off" - expertise matters more than hierarchy when analyzing performance. The Teaching-Learning Loop – Moving from student (year 1) to instructor (year 2) creates exponential learning: "Your students will teach you more than you probably learned when you were a student." Time Distortion Under Extreme Stress – During the near-collision, Michelle experienced "the craziest temporal distortion" where "time slows down" but "you can't do anything faster than you normally can." Build Competence First, Then Serve Others – Advice for young people: Spend 6-8 years building skills and confidence, then "reach a hand back" to mentor others. Both phases are essential for maximum impact. Quotes: "They endlessly believed in every wild dream I set my sights on." "I learned my vocabulary of profanity expanded greatly... but I also learned I could hang in that environment." "I went into it naively thinking that it didn't matter at all... and it's a little bit different as you get into the military." "There's no fear when you're present. Fear is a future thing." "Curiosity plus vulnerability equals community." "What is the most productive way we can respond at this point to get the most learning from that?" "More learning happens in the debrief than actually does during the flight itself." "The egos that people see in Hollywood around fighter pilots... what they don't show is the humility that has to happen behind the scenes." "It's not self-centered to spend that first six to eight years focused on learning and honing skills." "You get to reach a hand back... and it becomes one of the most fulfilling things for you as well." Life Lessons: Expose Children to Challenging Environments Early – Like Michelle's hunting trips, give kids experience in situations where they're the minority or outsider to build confidence. Support Wild Dreams with Action – Don't just say you believe in someone's goals - invest time and money in giving them exposure to those fields. Ask for Help Before You're Drowning – The biggest mistake is thinking asking questions shows weakness. Everyone expects beginners to have questions. Create Psychological Safety for Mistakes – Focus on learning from errors rather than punishing them. The response to mistakes determines future trust and performance. Build Debrief Culture in Your Organization – Set clear objectives, analyze systematically, find root causes, create specific action items, and share lessons broadly. Use Fresh Starts Strategically – Sometimes changing environments gives you the reset needed to implement new behaviors and shed old baggage. Go Beyond Surface-Level Check-ins – Real community comes from curiosity that goes deeper than "how are you?" Be willing to ask uncomfortable follow-up questions. Practice Temporal Awareness Under Stress – In high-stakes situations, your brain may speed up while time seems to slow down. Prepare for this distortion through practice. Separate Expertise from Hierarchy – The most knowledgeable person should lead analysis sessions, regardless of their position in the org chart. Balance Self-Development with Service – Early career should focus on building competence; mid-career should emphasize mentoring others. Accept That High Performance Requires High Standards – Like the Thunderbirds' 70-foot separation at 500 mph, excellence often means operating with minimal margin for error.
