Antarctica...Wink Wink...Still Nothing to See Here!...Wink with Eric J. Hecker of Deciphering My Experience
Check out the Open Loops YouTube Channel for exclusive contentAnd if you enjoy this show, please help spread the word! Even a few words can help. Go to ratethispodcast.com/openloops to leave a review.It's been almost a full year since Eric J. Hecker, plumber-to-mobsters-turned-Antarctica-contractor, first joined Greg to discuss his time at South Pole Station. Since then, he's discovered even more about himself. And not like the creepy journey of self-discovery perpetuated by Nicole Kidman's character on "Nine Perfect Strangers" or some weird Tony Robbins nonsense. We're talking his connection to UFOs, his involvement in the Project Stargate, Project Montauk and MK Ultra, and even more documented proof from the government supporting the sinister technology he accidentally peeped at in Antarctica.... He's learned about himself, alright. And how much more critical his mission to spread the truth is than ever before. Eric's Website: deciphering.tv

My XXXtraterrestrial Romance with Delphic Whoracle Emanuela Rose
Emanuela Rose has something you probably don't. One might guess from this episode's title that we're referring to her hot, green alien boyfriend.

The thing she has that you might not: true love. Learn about how Emanuela met Emanuel, why "once you go alien, you'll forget earth men," as well as what an extraterrestrial OnlyFans account might look like. This episode isn't what you think. How could you? We never thought the sentences coming out of Emanuela's mouth would ever be a thing, either. Live long, prosper, use protection. Do you like this podcast?

Montauk Boy: Mind Control, Madness, and Monsters with Project Montauk Survivor Rocko Fowler
Do you like this podcast? Let Greg know! Go to ratethispodcast.com/openloops to leave a review.WARNING: This episode is more serious than the one last week with the guy doing cartoon sound effects....Rocko Fowler grew up in Montauk, Long Island, a place riddled with mystery. The biggest mystery: why do so many claim they were involved or knew about a military project since the 80s where children were studied to develop their psychic abilities, to project themselves into other dimensions, to submit to horrendous mind control experiments, and perhaps the weirdest of all... to TRAVEL THROUGH TIME? This is the real-life story Stranger Things is based on! In this episode, Rocko shares his own story. He claims that he's been a victim of this secret military project since he was a toddler. But unlike the Netflix series, his story is far, far darker than what you'd even imagine. If you're easily disturbed, do not listen to this episode. It's the testimony of a Project Montauk victim seeking justice. You must be brave enough to swallow the tale. Check out the Open Loops YouTube Channel for exclusive content!
