My special guest is L.A. Marzulli who's here to discuss what he thinks the alien phenomena really is and why everyone should be worried.     This book exposes the UFO phenomena, alien abductions, cattle mutilations, alien implants, and direct contact. It postulates that these are interdimensional beings not entities from another planet. It further exposes what may be the coming great deception as prophesied in the Bible.   Some sightings involving astronauts or NASA include: During the Gemini 4 mission, pilot Jim McDivitt spotted an object that he described as a "white cylindrical shape with a white pole sticking out of one corner of it." He took two pictures of it. His partner, Ed White, was asleep at the time.[5] McDivitt maintains that it was some unknown but man-made piece of debris, while James Oberg argues that it was most likely the Titan II second stage of the craft.[6] In a transcript of Gemini 7 mission, the astronauts mention a "bogey" which ufologists have claimed was a reference to a UFO.[7] Oberg, based on his trajectory analysis of the mission, describes the astronauts' comments about a "bogey" as referring to booster-associated debris, and not a reference to some sort of UFO.[8] The astronaut who made the comments, Frank Borman, later confirmed that what he saw was not a UFO, and that when he offered to go on the television show Unsolved Mysteries to clarify, the producers told him, "Well, I'm not sure we want you on the program."[7] Within the UFO community, stories have spread that Neil Armstrong was reported to have witnessed multiple UFOs during Apollo 11.[9] An explanation was that the sightings could have been attributed to jettisoned components. Additional stories were accredited to a hoax spread by science fiction writer Otto Binder.[1] Buzz Aldrin says his words were taken out of context from an interview in 2005 about the incident.[3] During a 2005 spacewalk outside the International Space Station, astronaut Leroy Chiao reported seeing lights in a formation he described as "in a line" and "almost like an upside-down check mark".[4] The incident was promoted as a possible UFO sighting in the television series Are We Alone?.[4]Chiao later identified the lights as being from fishing boats "hundreds of miles below".[4] In August 2013, according to NASA TV, astronaut Christopher Cassidy saw a UFO float past the International Space Station near its Progress 52 cargo ship.[10] It was soon identified by Russian flight controllers as an antenna cover from the Zvezda service module.[10] On August 19, 2020, Cosmonaut Ivan Vagner posted a video on Twitter featuring UFOs on a time lapse he recorded of the Aurora Australis. Vagner dubbed the objects "space guests" with Roscosmos quote tweeting Vagner to say “An interesting and at the same time mysterious video made by the cosmonaut of Roscosmos Ivan Wagner from the International Space Station.”Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio

In September 1980, a fuel leak in a Titan II missile silo came close to turning Damascus, Arkansas, into a crater.

Get ready to step into the world of the largest and most powerful intercontinental ballistic missile ever built by the United States: the Titan II. We promise you an enthralling journey, taking you into the depths of the responsibility and immense pressure shouldered by servicemen in the face of potential catastrophe. Our story today comes from a wonderful book that sheds a great deal of light on this issue, the title of the book is Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety by Eric Schlosser.We'll scrutinize the US military's safety protocols, delve into the grave responsibilities bestowed upon young servicemen, and explore the Air Force's subsequent investigation into the incident. This episode is not only thrilling, but also an eye-opener to the dire importance of the technology, training, and safety measures involved in handling nuclear weapons. You don't want to miss this!Key Points from the Episode:We'll be shedding light on the daily operations and routine maintenance procedures that kept these mighty missiles in check, with the capability to hit a target as far as 6000 miles away, carrying a yield of nine megatons. Join us in unfolding the story of airmen David F Powell and Jeffrey L Plumb, who had the daunting task of managing a low-pressure warning light in the oxidizer tank of the Titan II missile.We're also going to talk about an incident that sent chills down the spine of every serviceman involved. Brace yourselves as we dive into the terrifying account of the infamous Damascus Titan missile explosion. A simple socket wrench falling off a platform and striking the missile caused fuel to spray out, nearly leading to a nuclear disaster. Other resources: Almanac of Broken Arrow EventsMore goodnessGet your FREE Academy Review here!Want to leave a review?

On this week's episode of the podcast, hilarious comedian Syed came through to the studio to talk everything from what it would take to board the Titan II, watching our friends' pornos, and Kanye's ability to leave be more offensive than literal Nazis. Enjoy.

The mission of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations is to identify, exploit and neutralize criminal, intelligence and terrorist threats to the Air Force, Department of Defense and the US Government. OSI was created in 1948 and is patterned after the FBI. They currently have over 2,000 military and civilian agents working across the globe. “John Smith” (not his real name) served 13 years in the OSI. He originally started in Air Rescue and Recovery supporting the Titan II missile silos at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Smith found himself “without a job” when the Titan II program was discontinued.  He had developed a relationship with an OSI Agent who suggested he apply but warned him “We NEVER take first term airmen.” Smith applied and because of linguistic and other skills, was accepted. He made sure to invite that original OSI agent to his ceremony. As a Spanish speaker, his first overseas assignment was to Panama doing counter-intelligence work.  When it was decided that Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega would be charged with drug trafficking, his focus became more concentrated. One of his best sources, a “little old grandmother” just outside of Panama City had good information that was always corroborated by the Intel personnel from other branches. But soon they learned that they all had the same “source”. Future meetings with the grandmother took place in a group. Another situation involved a Russian defector. When Smith notified the State Department of what they had, he was given an envelope full of hundred dollar bills for the defector and told to place him on a plane to the United States immediately. One of his proudest moments of his Special Investigations career was when his intelligence was used in the invasion of Panama. The saddest case was at Nellis Air Force Base when an Airman facing her third deployment in a year took her own life. TAKEAWAY: “If you look at all the defectors over our history, they all worked pretty cheap.”

This is a crazy, lesser-known story of Titan II missile silos, a poultry tariff with serious repercussions for the environment, and relations between France, US, and Germany after WW2.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Visit betterhelp.com/DUBIOUS today to get 10% off your first month of therapy. In the 1950s, Senator Fulbright from Arkansas politely told a gathering of NATO countries that he would withhold military aid if the French and Germans put a tariff on American frozen chicken. Arkansas was home to not only the largest chicken corporation in the world, but also dozens of Titan II missile silos. If you like our content, please become a patron to get more bonus episodes like this one, and all of our public episodes ad-free as well. This strange congruence of conflicting nefarious interests incidentally led us to the environmental catastrophe we face decades later. The Johnson administration's retaliation to the chicken tax was to put a tariff on trucks, and in response the American car companies doubled up on marketing trucks and SUVs to Americans due to that protected market. So in a manner of speaking, the reason that the sky here in Dallas is yellow with exhaust fumes on a hot summer day is because of fallout from a war over frozen chickens, although presidents after Johnson and Kennedy have done their part to push us further toward ruin as well. 1, 2 Not to be outdone: hog farms. We also discuss the abuses of the hog farming industry in North Carolina and how they inevitably pollute rivers after every single hurricane hits that state, from overflowing open-pit waste collection ponds. As we mention in the episode, this video was captured by a reporter investigating a coal ash spill after hurricane Florence in 2018. We found out later that the coal ash was mixed with pig feces. 3 1. Western Europe: Nobody But Their Chickens. Time Magazine. November 1962. ⇤2. Rod Leonard.

TITAN MISSILE MUSEUM HISTORY The Titan Missile Museum is the only remaining Titan II site open to the public, allowing you to re-live a time when the threat of nuclear war between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union was a reality. The Titan II was capable of launching from its underground silo in 58 seconds and could deliver a nine megaton thermonuclear warhead to its target more than 6,000 miles (approximately 10,000 km) away in less than thirty minutes. For more than two decades, 54 Titan II missile complexes across the United States stood “on alert” 24 hours a day, seven days a week, heightening the threat of nuclear war or preventing Armageddon, depending upon your point of view. AN ARIZONA TREASURE Proclaimed an Arizona Treasure by former Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, the Titan Missile Museum is a unique facility that is comprised of two parts: The Count Ferdinand von Galen Titan Missile Museum Education and Research Center, and the Titan Missile National Historic Landmark. The Count Ferdinand von Galen Titan Missile Museum Education and Research Center is situated directly adjacent to the launch complex and houses an exhibit gallery, museum store, classroom, and an archival storage area. The Titan Missile National Historic Landmark is former Titan II launch complex 571-7. This former operational missile site was originally part of the 571st Strategic Missile Squadron (SMS), 390th Strategic Missile Wing (SMW), Davis-Monthan Air Force Base (AFB), Arizona. It is the sole remaining Titan II Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) complex of the 54 that were “on alert” during the Cold War between 1963 and 1987. FROM SWORD TO PLOWSHARE Launch complex 571-7 came off alert on November 11, 1982. Work to turn the missile site into a museum began in February of 1983, when Col Paul Comeaux, commander of the 390th SMW, contacted Charles Niblett, president of the Tucson Air Museum Foundation, the predecessor of the Arizona Aerospace Foundation. Colonel Comeaux proposed that the Foundation consider operating one of the soon-to-be-deactivated missile sites around Tucson as a museum. Niblett contacted Col Hugh Matheson, USAF (Ret.), the former deputy commander for maintenance at the 390th SMW, and Lt Col Orville Doughty, USAF (Ret.), the former commander of the 390th Missile Maintenance Squadron. Together, these three men took on the tremendous task of convincing the Foundation Board, the Air Force, and the Tucson community that this project was both worthwhile and feasible. By September of 1985, the necessary parties were in agreement and the paperwork was complete. The Air Force would retain ownership of missile site 571-7, but lease it to Pima County. Pima County, in turn, would sublease the site to the Foundation for the purpose of operating the Titan Missile Museum. Before the Foundation could open the Titan Missile Museum, several modifications had to be made to the missile site. All of these modifications were made for the purpose of demonstrating that launch complex 571-7 is no longer an operational missile site. For example, before missile N-10 could go on display in the launch duct, holes were cut in each of its propellant tanks and in the heat shield of the Reentry Vehicle. Then the missile was displayed on the surface of the site for 30 days to allow satellites to confirm that it was no longer operational. After the missile was installed in the launch duct, the silo closure door was permanently placed in the half-open position (six huge concrete blocks prevent it from opening any further) and a large window was placed over the open portion of the launch duct to facilitate visitor and satellite viewing. The Titan Missile Museum opened its doors to the public on May 21, 1986. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/loren-alberts/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loren-alberts/support

An interview with Hugh King (also known as "Chopper King.") What I've selected from our conversation for this podcast has to do with three distinct parts of Hugh's life that I find especially interesting: 1) His childhood pyromania; 2) The part Hugh played in the anti-war “GI Coffeehouse Movement” during the Vietnam War in the late 1960's and 70's near Fort Dix, New Jersey; and 3) The emergence of Hugh's "Chopper King" character from the TV shows Biker Build-off and Motorcycle Mania. This episode is 35 minutes long. Here's https://youtu.be/5D1x9I_3DNE (Hugh in 2019 at the controls of a deactivated Titan II missile) in its silo outside Tucson Arizona.

Episode 7: Remembering Apollo Astronaut Dick Gordon Dick Gordon passed away in November 2017, and author and volunteer Jake Schultz had the honor of recording Gordon’s oral history few months prior to learn about his experiences as an astronaut. In this episode, Gordon talks spaceflight, corvettes, and football. He recalls the differences between the Gemini and Apollo missions. Gemini’s Titan II rocket was an ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) designed to get you into orbit as fast as possible at altitude and then shut down. The Saturn V rocket on the Apollo mission, however, was a different kind of ride. “It shook, rattled and rolled,” Gordon describes. Gordon, a Seattle native, also fondly recalls bonding with his crew—Pete Conrad and Alan Bean—over their three red Corvettes and taking on the role of the Executive Vice President of the New Orleans Saints after his space career.

One second after 11 o’clock Wednesday morning, April 8th 1964, the Titan II booster’s first-stage engine ignited. Four seconds later, the 156 ton vehicle lifted from the pad on that curiously lambent flame so distinctive of Titan II’s hypergolic propellants. Within moments, Gemini-Titan 1 vanished into the hot Florida sky, beyond reach of human senses but not electronic sensors. Telemetry data flowed back to mission controllers at the Cape, telling them that the launch was as nearly perfect as it looked.

“The primary objective of the first Gemini mission, was to prove that the Titan II was capable of launching the Gemini spacecraft into orbit within the tolerances imposed by manned space flight. The secondary objective was for the spacecraft to gather and report data.”

Hello All and Sundry! In Lieu of our regular episode this week, we proudly present the first episode of Space 3D, hosted by Space Pharmacist Eleanor O'Rangers and Company. For those of you who love learning about the universe and space history, Space 3D is the place to be! Episodes will launch from here initially, then move to their own feed, so give them a try!For their debut, the Space3D crew is traveling to Skylab to learn about the medical aspects and workday anecdotes of life in space! Enjoy, and See you all again next week-Dr JPodcast #1- An Interview with Dwight Steven-Boniecki on Skylab medical capabilitiesDwight Steven-Boniecki was born in Sydney, Australia in 1969, a few months before manwalked on the moon. He spent much of his childhood fascinated with space exploration -growing up in the shadow of Apollo and under the direct influence of science fiction films suchas Star Wars. The latter shaped his desire to work in the film/television industry.Having worked in the television industry in Australia, the United States, Great Britain andGermany for nearly 25 years, Dwight's professional qualifications helped to complement hisunderstanding of the pioneering television achievements of the U.S. space program.Initially to satisfy his own curiosity, Dwight combined his professional background with hisinterest in spaceflight and researched the television systems developed by NASA. To hisdismay, he discovered that while the information was available, it was not easy to access, andhad never been comprehensively written about. He set about to change that, and ended upwriting the ward-winning book, "Live TV From the Moon" as well as “Live TV From Orbit.”An avid space historian, Dwight places a great amount of detail in presenting the story with therespect it rightfully deserves, but is often unfairly denied. To that end, he is also notable forauthoring the Apogee Books 3-book series, “Skylab: the NASA Mission Reports” and isfinalizing a documentary entitled, “Searching for Skylab”, which is planned for a 2018 release.Dwight is married and lives with his wife in Cologne, Germany. He regularly dazzles his workcolleagues with his unusual knowledge of all things NASA television camera related. In hisspare time, he enjoys assuming the virtual controls of Lockheed-Martin's Prepar3d flightsimulator, listening to classic rock (the Beach Boys and Harry Nilsson especially), and watchinga wide variety of feature films.---Emily CarneyA spaceflight blogger and author based on Saint Petersburg, Florida, Emily has written for ArsTechnica, The Space Review, and AmericaSpace.

Did you know a Titan II nuclear missile kind of sort of exploded in the United States in the 1980s? It's true! On this episode, the team discusses "Command and Control," a documentary that covers that exact incident.

For her new book, sociologist Arlie Hochschild listened to Trump supporters explain their world in their own words. She spent five years in southwestern Louisiana searching for their “deep story,” which she recounts in Strangers in Their Own Land—it’s been longlisted for the National Book Award. Plus: The battle inside Trump’s campaign about whether to take the low road, or the high one. Amy Wilentz analyzes the role of the Trump children—who, we are told, are trying to get their father to campaign on actual political issues. And we’ll also hear a chilling disaster at a Titan II missile complex in Arkansas in September, 1980, where the most powerful nuclear warhead in our arsenal was almost detonated. That’s the subject of the new documentary Command and Control—director Robert Kenner and writer Eric Schlosser explain. The film rolls out this week across the nation.

On the evening of September 18, 1980, Airmen David F. Powell and Jeffrey L. Plumb were performing routine maintenance at the Titan II silo in Damascus, Arkansas. At the age of 21, Powell was considered a highly experienced missile technician; Plumb, who had just turned 19, was still in training. As the two stood on a platform near the top of the Titan II, a socket fell from Powell’s wrench, plummeted 70 feet and, shockingly, punctured the missile. A stream of highly explosive rocket fuel began pouring into the silo of the most powerful nuclear warhead ever built by the United States. A chilling, Dr. Strangelovian nightmare plays out at a Titan II missile complex in Arkansas in September, 1980. A deadly accident leads Air Force personnel, weapon designers, and first responders to work feverishly to prevent a catastrophic explosion. Directed by Robert Kenner (FOOD, INC.) and based on the critically-acclaimed book by Eric Schlosser (FAST FOOD NATION), COMMAND AND CONTROL is a minute-by-minute account of this long-hidden story – much of it based on recently declassified documents that expose other freak accidents and near-misses. How do you manage weapons of mass destruction without being destroyed by them? COMMAND AND CONTROL chronicles nine hours of terror that prevented an explosion 600 times more powerful than Hiroshima. Director Robert Kenner joins us for a lively conversation on impact nuclear weapons have on our lives and the horrifying 36-year old apocalyptic tale that is just now being told.

Dr. David K. Stumpf gives an overview of the Titan II program, culminating in a discussion of just how close a Soviet weapon would have had to come to incapacitate the silo.
