92: Shadow People and The Hat Man | Who are they? What do they want?
Here's how it happens.
You're drifting off to sleep; or maybe you wake up in the middle of the night. You feel a presence in the room.
You see something out of the corner of your eye. You try to look but you can't move. You try to call out, but you're unable to make a sound. There's an invisible weight on your chest. Even breathing is difficult.
You strain to look and then you see it. The shadow of a person. You can't detect any features but every instinct you have tells you: this is entity is not friendly.
You hear a light hum, maybe a rush of air and the dark entity vanishes.
You've just encountered a shadow person.
This one was pretty benign, but there are some shadow people sightings that are more intense. More real. These encounters can be traumatic and in some cases: violent.
I should know. Because it happened to me.

91: Smithsonian Cover-Up: Ancient Egyptians and Giants in the Grand Canyon
In 1908, President Teddy Roosevelt wanted to declare the Grand Canyon off-limits to all timber and mining operations. It would take another 11 years for Congress to designate the Grand Canyon a national park.
Sensing a final opportunity for adventure, explorer G.E. Kincaid took a boat down the Colorado River and through the Grand Canyon. The canyon was rich in minerals like gold, silver and copper and Kincaid wanted to see what he could find before the area was closed off for good.
About 40 miles up-river from the El Tovar Crystal canyon, Kincaid saw stains in the sediment formation about 2,000 feet up. He tied off the boat and got out to investigate.
Kincaid couldn't find a trail, but after a short hike he found something interesting covered in desert brush. Steps. Hundreds of them. Carved in sandstone. Steps that wound their way up to a high shelf on the side of the canyon.
He followed the steps until he came across a cavern entrance. An entrance that was clearly man made.
Kincaid entered the cavern and turned on his flashlight.
On the walls he saw writing. But it wasn't English or Native American writing. It was Ancient Egyptian Heiroglypics.
Kincaid lifted his flashlight and saw that the tunnel ran far into the distance.
He didn't realize it at the time, but this was only the beginning.

90: The US Military's Secret Flying Saucer Project | Alien Reproduction Vehicles (ARVs)
In 1988, aerospace designer Brad Sorenson went to Norton Air Force base for the annual air show. The show was the chance for aerospace companies and military contractors to show off new technology to top military and government officials. Brad wanted to network and maybe grab a new client or two.
At some point, Brad got turned around and separated from his group. He hopped into another group and ended up in a large hangar watching a presentation given by a three-star general.
At first it was the typical rundown for various top secret aircraft. Brad figured he was in the right place.
He wasn't.
The general signaled to someone and a huge curtain was pulled, revealing three aircraft that nobody was expecting.

86: Project Serpo: The Secret 10-Year Mission to a Planet 40 Million Light Years Away
What if you were offered the opportunity to visit another planet?
You get to experience the culture of an alien race, explore a new world; see and use technology that's 5,000 years ahead of ours.
Would you do it?
Before you answer, there are a few catches. You'll be gone for at least ten years. And when you return to Earth, all evidence of your existence will be erased. You have to start a new life, with a new identity; forbidden to tell anyone about what you experienced.
Now would you do it?
In 1965, 12 astronauts were sent to an alien planet as part of a human-alien exchange program. 13 years later the astronauts returned home.
Well, most of them did.
The mission commander wrote a 3,000-page report of everything his team experienced. First alien contact, the 40-light-year trip to the alien world, and everything that happened on the planet.
This is the true story of Project Serpo.

85: Spontaneous Human Combustion
Here's the nightmare scenario. You stop by your elderly mother's house to check on her. You grab the doorknob. It's hot to the touch. You ring the bell and knock. No answer.
You fish out your key and open the door. You call out but there's only silence.
The air is warm. There's a sweet, smoky smell. But, nothing looks out of place.
Finally, you go into the living room and you see it.
In your mom's favorite chair, is a pile of smoldering ash. Completely unrecognizable as human.
Just as you convince yourself that this isn't your mother, you see her jewelry in the gray dust.
And then the grisly sight of your mother's feet, still in their slippers, on the floor by the ashes.
There was a fire. An intense fire. But aside from her chair, nothing is burned. Even stranger, everything in the house is covered with a thin layer of pale yellow grease.
Your mother was a victim of spontaneous human combustion. Though rare, it happens more often than you think.
According to at least one scientist, it could happen to anybody at any time — even you.

85: ALIEN WAR at The Dulce Underground Base | They Mysterious Death of Phil Schneider
ALIEN WAR at The Dulce Underground Base | They Mysterious Death of Phil Schneider
Everyone's heard of Area 51. The top-secret facility in the Nevada desert. But nobody really knows what happens there. We have only rumors.
One rumor is that alien bodies have been recovered from UFO crashes. Those aliens have been autopsied and the subjects of medical experiments for years.
But have you ever heard of Dulce Base? Dulce is more secret than Area 51. And more sinister.
If Area 51 is the place where humans experiment on aliens; Dulce is the place where aliens experiment on us.

84: Every Event is Secretly Encoded in the Bible even YOUR Birthday (and the Apocalypse)
In September 1994, Yitzak Rabin, Prime Minister of Israel received an ominous message. It was a warning that his life was in danger.
The sender of the message said this information was secretly encoded -- in the Bible.
Rabin ignored the warning.
A year later, the Prime Minister was assassinated.
The code hidden within the Bible not only predicted Rabin's assassination, but also predicted the date, and even the name of the killer.
Secretly encoded in the Bible, written thousands of years ago, are predictions of every major world event. Including terrifying events yet to come.
