 The Gralien Report Podcast for April 15, 2014 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:49:10

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, Micah and the fellows tell about their recent visit to the Ozark Mountains, where they attended one of the largest UFO conferences in the United States. Also covering the latest news and strange goings on in the twilight world of Forteana, what are the strange and thunderous sounds emanating from Highgate, home of a legendary “vampire”, which continue to rattle the countryside? Then during hour two, we look at the recent Blood Moon, and the way that Japanese researchers have been baffled by the recent blooming of a cherry tree that spent eight months aboard the International Space Station as a seed. Do the effects of spending time off-planet affect such things as germination? And finally, you won’t want to miss Tyler’s survey of Lovecraftian Elder Gods that warps… I mean, wraps up this week’s installment of the show. Also, here are a few choice photos from our time spent at the Ozark Mountain UFO Conference this past weekend: The Hanks Brothers Arrive in Eureka Springs!  Micah and George Noory garner a few laughs during George’s special audience Q & A Race Hobbs of KGRA displays Bob White’s alleged UFO “artifact” Having lunch with Travis Walton, author of Fire in the Sky Interviewing Delores and Julia Cannon during KGRA’s post-conference wrap-up Meeting John Moore, who designed the cover of The UFO Singularity (New Page Books, 2013) Sally Bellsnyder becomes the latest member of Team Gralien as we dodge tornadoes in Arkansas

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, Micah and the little beasts in the bunker, Caleb and Tyler, examine Bill Clinton’s revelations about UFOs during his recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, as well as the now famous trail cam featuring a deer caught in the headlights… of a UFO. What was really going on here, and how does it relate to the recently euthanized “chupacabra” discovered in Texas? Then during hour two, the sad story of Peaches Geldof is examined, and the esoteric elements of her life that preceded her untimely passing. Had Peaches managed to capture a “ghostly hand” while living in her century-old home (allegedly the site of a suicide)? And what can be made of her interest in Scientology and, perhaps most intriguing of all, Aleister Crowley and the Ordo Templi Orientis? We wrap things up with a discussion on airships of old and new as well… below are a couple of interesting links to supplement our discussion about mystery aircraft: What’s NASA’s secret space plane been up to while up there? The Federation of American Scientists discuss Mystery Aircraft and Exotic Propulsion Charles Fort discussed UAP and “torpedo” shaped objects in chapter 25 of The Book of the Damned

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, the Gralien Gang is on the road again, this time broadcasting from the “Brunswick Bunker” a little south of Savannah, Georgia, along with special guest Chase Kloetzke, author of the new book Admissible. We begin with a fascinating pair of letters from our listeners, both trained pilots, who took time to share their thoughts regarding the enduring mystery behind the disappearance of Frederick Valentich, and the likelihood regarding whether Valentich may have become disoriented, and had been flying upside down… is there a solution, at least in part, to this mystery? Then during hour two, Chase Kloetzke tells us about her recent travels to Peru, where she observed and studied elongated skulls and the processes behind the elongation used by ancient people (note our April Fools Day jokes regarding Micah’s jet-lagged misuse of the term “waterboarding” in relation to the strange misshapen skulls). What purpose had these elongations been meant to serve, if any?

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, what has the Chinese government finally released on the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, and how did they choose to tell the families of the victims? Plus, all the latest in fringe science and the esoteric are featured in hour one.  Then in hour two, what is the mystery of alien abduction? Is the a solution to it, or is it solely in the eye of the beholder? In the latter instance, does that make the stories any less credible? What about stories of bizarre “Humans” aboard the craft? We’ll examine these, and many more stories on The Gralien Report,

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast… an Oregon family is attacked by what is described by “a 22 lb cat” that corners them in the bedroom… we aren’t convinced of this “cat” interpretation of the story, and feel strongly that a near miss with death at the hands of a Himalayan Yeti has occurred. We also discuss airships, flying cigars, and the missing flight MH370, all during hour one of this week’s show. Then during hour two, veteran researcher Chris O’Brien, cohost of The Paracast and author of the new book Stalking the Herd joins us to discuss his inquiry into the cattle mutilation phenomenon, a subject in which O’Brien may be the truest living expert. He tells us that, rather than space aliens beaming up our prize cattle, there may be something far more complex going on. Programming Note: During the intro to hour one of this week’s program, the subject of Chris’s book and research was erroneously referred to as “crop circles,” rather than cattle mutilations. We apologize for any confusion about this subject that may be based on this misstatement. Also check out Chris’s website, Our Strange Planet, where you can buy his new book. For notes on this week’s program and stories discussed within, check out our latest Gralien Report Daily News Roundup.

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast… strange things are afoot in the permafrost of Siberia, where a 30,000 year old virus has awakened… should we be concerned? Also, Micah defends UFO authors who sell their books, amidst recent accusations that many researchers are just in it for the money… if that were the case, wouldn’t we all be working on Wall Street instead? And more from the news of the weird as we examine an explanation behind the mass grave of whales, walrus-faced dolphins, and giant sea-sloths… did you know there was such a thing as a giant sea sloth? Then during hour two, we take a little time to catch up with our friend Hugh Newman, author of Earth Grids: The Secret Patterns of Gaia’s Sacred Sites and the man behind the Megalithomania events and tours. Hugh travels the world in search of ancient mysteries, sacred sites, enormous human skeletons, and much more. You can learn all about Hugh and his work, as well as find his books, at his Megalithomania website by clicking here. Below you’ll find links to Hugh’s upcoming tour to ancient Turkish sites that include Gobekli Tepi and other media… Also, a shot of Hugh and Micah together on the first annual Ancient Alien Cruise: And finally, for links to stories discussed in this week’s show, visit today’s Gralien Daily News Roundup.

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast… there is a strange sound emanating from that oceanic point of inaccessibility furthest from land and down… what are the terrifying tremors resounding from Tokyo? Are we discussing fallout from the ill-fated Fukishima reactor that may be soon reaching the West Coast, or is it something else? This monstrosity indeed has a name… and we discuss “it,” and its frightul influence on culture and cinema, during hour one of this week’s Gralien Report Podcast. The Gralien Report Podcast for February 25, 2014 Then in hour two, there is discussion of the root of a modern mystery: Bigfoot served on the rocks. With the latest presentation of a Bigfoot “body” being carried around the Southern U.S., we examine earlier instances of oddity that link a famous carnival hoax from the 1960s to the entire mess. Things get interesting when we begin looking at purported 9-11 calls from the San Antonio area that deal with alleged Bigfoot reports, but how much of this is potentially fact, versus improbable fiction? For a hair raising time, you may also enjoy the following stories we feature on this week’s show… Scientists say Fukishima radiation to reach West Coast Terror from Tokyo: New Godzilla trailer is genuinely scary U.S. planning possible withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan Cali couple finds pot of gold, even without a rainbow Nigel Watson exposes UFO drone-hoax planned for April

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, we hear about news stories that include disappearing asteroids and white whales, as well as Japan’s tsunami ghosts, and a few listener emails. Then we spend the majority of hour one looking at mind blowing possibilities that may soon be afforded us in relation to our universe… do we need a program like SETI in order to find aliens in our midst, or could there be far stranger varieties of phenomenon we’ll soon experience and learn about through science? The Gralien Report Podcast for February 18, 2014 Then during hour two… Bigfoot, wolf men (or maybe a “Moth-wolf”), trolls, reptilians, and a host of other strange presumed nonhuman entities are examined. How likely is it that creatures like this could exist, and is there any way to prove this with science? Maybe not… but does that mean we can rule out all such reports of high-strangeness? We’ll explore this, and other themes, on this week’s Gralien Report Podcast.  And below is a comprehensive list of show stories to accompany this week’s mind blowing…  Is ‘Moby Dick’ Asteroid 2000 EM26 Missing? Stories of Tsunami “ghosts” still haunting Japan NOAA says Bermuda Triangle is just a myth Evidence of “Russian Doll” Universes beyond our own? Or is the Universe a computer simulation? What about super-intelligent aliens living inside our atoms? How humanity might change if we knew aliens existed Is Bigfoot living amidst abandoned homes in Detroit? “Mothwolf” shows up in Point Pleasant Trolls chasing Trains in London’s flood plains In Search of the Barmanou, Pakistan’s “Bigfoot” Unlikely encounters: Reptilians living in the American deserts?
