The Gralien Report Podcast for February 19, 2013

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, it's been one hell of a week for news: this morning, reports of a large WMD being tested in North Korea made headlines, and only 24 hours following the renunciation of Pope Benedict XVI from his position as Pope of the Holy Church of Rome. To discuss the real potentials for Benedict's reasons to leave the papal position, our Religious correspondent, Father Jack Ashcraft, "The Bare-Fisted Cleric," joins us to lend some insight on matters that could be far more controversial than many realize... is there a dark conspiracy within the Vatican? The Gralien Report Podcast for February 12, 2013 And during hour two, The Gralien Report features a very special interview with the erudite and reclusive Dr. Maxim Kammerer, who discusses the strange implications of a universe that could not only support time travel and UFO phenomenon, but also within the capacity of a synthetic "Matrix-like" universe, and the formulation of "codes" underlying supersymmetry and string theory (plotted graphically as the "adinkra" pictured above).And as always, here is a collection of show notes and news headlines, courtesy of "The Cardinal" himself, Tyler Pittman:A message from above? Lightning strikes Vatican after Pope Benedict resignsFalse Memories of Fabricated Political EventsLOOK OUT: House panel to reintroduce controversial cyber bill, setting up White House fightTurkish man cured of blood addictionWhy Even Radiologists Can Miss A Gorilla Hiding In Plain SightWorld’s largest crocodile dies of chronic diarrheaSorcery crackdown: Chechnya leader orders hard line on wizards 

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, we discuss a sunken UFO believed to exist on the bottom of Lake Superior and the shooting death of "American Sniper" Chris Kyle, along with the long-held precept of "Cosmic Love," and how it relates to expanding consciousness on planet Earth... all this and more on The Gralien Report Podcast:  The Gralien Report Podcast: 2-5-2013 (click to download) During hour two, we are joined by James D. Stein, a popular author of math and science books whose newest volume, The Paranormal Equation: A New Scientific Perspective on Remote Viewing, Clairvoyance, and Other Inexplicable Phenomena presents an argument for the existence of supernatural phenomena, based on the mathematics and science discovered during the last century.And of course, below we've applied math and science to a plausible attempt at substantiation of the unexplained... but the best we could muster instead was this week's batch of show notes (hey, we did our best):"American Sniper" Chris Kyle killed in Texas shootingIs a wrecked UFO at the bottom of Lake Superior?Is Art Bell REALLY ever going to return to radio?What were Nazi monks doing in the Amazon?Addenda: And in the spirit of "Friendship," we might as well toss this one out there tooImage by DVIDSHUB via Flickr. 

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast... Micah and the Gralien gang delve into the mysteries of time and space, while examining reports of goblin beheadings, human-ape hybrids, and the curiosity of mysterious deaths associated with ufology.The Gralien Report Podcast: 1-29-13 (Click to Download)Also on this week's edition of the show, our guest, Ryan Sprague, joins us to discuss a stage rendition he has been working to produce, which will tell the story of the famous Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident. Sprague is a playwright and ufo journalist living in New York City, and is a regular contributor to Open Minds Magazine.And as far as contributions from the Fortean field, below are a few show notes and other news updates from beyond the fringe (special thanks to Tyler Pittman for providing links to several of this week's stories).Oliver the "Humanzee" Passes AwayGoblin cleansing ritual leads to House ExplosionFollow The Gralien Report on TwitterA Pictorial Guide to the Rendlesham Forest UFO IncidentA Giant Mystery: 18 Strange Skeletons Found in Wisconsin: Sons of God; Men of RenownGovernment to Dispose of Radioactive Waste By Putting It In Our SILVERWARENASA caught deleting UFO photos from its website (Photos)Listener Emails: One member of the Gralien audience shared this strange and unsettling story about a "creature" they managed to witness (and shoot at):My wife's Dad lived in a nice little place in a sleepy little burg out of town proper. Late one night, he heard something raising all kinds of heck out back of the house. He put the dogs out on it figuring it was maybe a coon or a bear. want long before he heard the dogs engage the critter. Said the fightin was something awful. One of the dogs came back to the house on a dead run, all tore up and went under the back porch. Then another one came in and did the same. The others just up'n took off.Things got quiet for a bit then he heard something tearing up the back porch door. He went to look see what the heck was going on.This thing, by his description, looked to be about 40 inches tall at its back. Its color was dark to almost blue looking, long stringy hair from front shoulder's back to about mid body then bald from there on. He said it almost looked like a hyena sept there werent none of them natural in that area. This "thing" had huge claws on its feet, fangs stickin out of its face like a wild hog. We call em tushes...tusks to others from the north.The head he said looked like a dog but with a longer face and it was huge, almost like it didnt belong on its body with big pointy ears. This thing proceeded to literally tear the back porch from the house. Its a purdy good size all enclosed porch by the way. Dad figured it was smellin' the grill where he cooked some meat earlier that day.He finally went in and grabbed his gun, ran back to the back to the door to shoot what ever it was. It had now moved into the back yard a bit further and was standing there snarling and growlin like at him. It started to run in his direction when he let it have it. Said he hit it square on, the thing stumbled a bit but didn't go down. Used a deer rifle on it.It ran back a bit and stood there snarling and carrying on again so he let go on it again. Said the thing ran off into the woods. Dad was scared purdy good and he went back in the house and waited for light in the mornin'.Next day he got ahold of some friends and they went hunting the thing to figure out what it was. Never found nothing from it. Some hair around the porch was all they fond. No blood, no body, no nothing. It just was gone. Never came back in the area.Of course, no "official" story ever came... and the "hair" samples? No explanation as what they came from either, even after he sent the samples in for identification.

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast... what's the story behind a 300 million-year-old "out of place object" discovered in Russia? Is there any truth to the claims of Disclosure Project founder Steven Greer, who now claims he has witnessed a diminutive body of non-terrestrial origin? And which popular American radio talk show host was talking about "freaky science" associated with the coming Singularity? We'll look at all these and more, on this week's edition of The Gralien Report Podcast.  The Gralien Report Podcast 1-22-2013 (Click to Download) In addition to our usual rundown of the strange and unusual going on in the world, we also took a minute to step "out back" in the "down under" sense, and discuss the weird happenings of one of our favorite foreign countries with Andrew Nicholson, author of Weird Australia. During our interview with Andrew, he helps us to understand exactly what a "Bunyip" is, and why even the aboriginal tribes can't come to any consensus as to what these beasts are supposed to resemble. While they keep trying to figure it all out, we'll leave you just enough show notes to enjoy before "they" start to notice that you've dropped your guard...  Glenn on Google Glasses and Singularity Loren Coleman speaks out on Melba Ketchum What was this 300 million-year-old object found in Russian coal?

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, Micah returns from the frozen fields of the North, and discusses South African UFOs, Area 51 "reverse engineering"... at a museum associated with the Smithsonian (!!!), John Keel and black magic in the orient, and a bit about the latest enterprise of web "Kingpin" Kim Dotcom, and non-human kidnappings... all this, and more, in our happy homecoming to the "Southern Command" known as the Gralien Bunker: The Gralien Report Podcast for 1-20-13 (Click to Download) We also spend a bit of time with our guest, Thomas Hackney, whose book The ETi Grail exposes synchronistic parallels to strange phenomenon which, in the author's opinion, may be proof of extraterrestrials attempting to communicate with Earth on specific dates. During the interview, the author expresses that a few of the parallels he draws in his theory are somewhat "tenuous"... but we'll let you be the judge, regarding this very interesting interview that gets us thinking a bit more deeply about those "Green Fireballs" from the Project Bluebook years. And as a reminder, if you have ideas, stories, experiences, and other commentary you'd like to share with The Gralien Report, be sure to send us an email by using the green "mail" button at the top the right hand column of this website.

Above: Philip Coppens (1971-2012) and wife Kathleen McGowan on their wedding night, Sept 2011.  Another year has come and gone, and sadly, with it we have also managed to lose one of the brightest, most well-reasoned researchers in the esoteric field. Thus, in this special edition of The Gralien Report Podcast, we honor the life and work of Philip Coppens, star of Ancient Aliens and a variety of books on the subject of ancient mysteries of our world. The Gralien Report Podcast for January 4, 2013 (Click Here to Download) In addition to remembering Coppens and his work, we also study recent news of the unexplained, the re-issue of a famous John Keel masterpiece, and the sensational prospect of "Murder by Internet"... how soon will the World Wide Web become more of a tool of destruction than a tool for learning? And although it's too late to share an eggnog over Auld Lang Syne, we're happy to share a few show notes relative to this week's programming... Murder by Internet... is it possible?

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast... is reality a simulation? If so, what precisely is being simulated? And what, if anything, can be made of strange bits of debris that are picked up, but left "uncataloged" by various satellite mapping data available to the public? And finally, when tragedy strikes the nation, is there some credence to be lent to the notion of so-called "copycat crimes" that seem to occur? The Gralien Report Podcast for December 18, 2012 Additionally, we spend a good while talking with paranormal researcher David Weatherly on this edition of the program. Although David's research into the phenomenon known as "Black Eyed Children" has become well known, we discuss a wide range of topics on this special edition of The Gralien Report Podcast. And below, for your festive culinary delight, we've included a few show notes to tide you over until the main course...

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast... all things weird are in abundance. Was Tolkien's Gandalf a lame wizard? We allowed our listenership to determine the consensus, in preparation for Peter Jackson's prequel to The Lord of the Rings, appearing in theaters this weekend. Also on the agenda (and of more serious importance), the National Intelligence Committee discusses the the implications of transhumanism over the next two decades, and the gang discusses the criteria for the scientific study of strange phenomena. The Gralien Report Podcast for December 11, 2012 And of course for those who want to read along, we've included the weekly snark-session known around these parts as show notes for the inquisitive listener (come on, isn't that why we produce this show for you in audio-format)? ;) One of our listeners, John, submitted this fine video: Hadals on Ice: The Musical Medvedev dishes on alien life… or does he?

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, we discuss the latest news on the drone front (and how a hoax elicited a response from the UC Center for Drone Policy and Ethics, as well as super-sonic booms occurring around the Texas-Oklahoma border. Also, we feature a segment that discusses the merit of using care when selecting source material for an argument, and how doing so related in a generous book review for the upcoming book The UFO Singularity: The Gralien Report Podcast for December 7, 2012 We also feature a roundup of the best mental illnesses for doubling as superpowers... hey, we all thought superheroes running around trying to save the world wearing tights and undies were a little "off," right? Just sayin... Was a drone "crash" really an art-hoax?

On this week's edition of The Gralien Report Podcast, the Gang talk about all things Sasquatch...and Keira Knightley sees a ghost. Hour one features an interview with Patrick C. Greene, author of "Progeny", a fiction novel that deals with human/bigfoot interactions. Hour two delves a little deeper into the Bigfoot DNA Decoding Debacle as well as what, if any, the implications of Sasquatch's confirmed existence would be.

ABOVE: The Gralien Gang with Field Correspondent Mike Reese. On this week's edition of The Gralien Report Podcast... the Graliens discuss UFO sightings in China and India, as well as a few sightings a bit closer to home as well. Hour two features a discussion about mutations, occurring both in the virus world, as well as here among humans... all with a bit of a nod toward the late Carl Sagan, who America remembered one day earlier, along with its Veterans of war. The Gralien Report Podcast for November 13, 2012 (Click Here to Launch Player) We also feature a few of the latest stories in the world of the weird... for instance, are humans devolving as we speak? Let's hope that our rate of devolution won't prevent those of us still able to read from pouring over the show notes for this week's show, which we've included below. 100s of UFOs on the China border? Is West Nile Virus Mutating? Did human intelligence peak several thousand years ago? Successful cloaking technology? Fun with names: hilarious chemical compounds And finally, the beautiful image photographed from Voyager I, looking back in the direction of Earth, where as Sagan said, "we are but a mole of dust, suspended in a sunbeam."

Gas prices will start rising again, partisan bickering will remain at an all-time high, and Americans everywhere will continue to overlook and undermine the freedom and opportunity that this country and its system of government has afforded them… despite whomever is elected to the office of the Presidency… that’s right, this week’s [...]
