For the first time, in this documentary, the fact that the Ariel School was in the middle of ancient Zimbabwean sacred sites and burial grounds is also discussed. There is a connection between the phenomenon and the dead, but what is it? Listen as Whitley and Randall explore this and so many other of the burning questions that Ariel Phenomenon raises. In this groundbreaking interview, Whitley takes listeners on an adventure back to the incredible close encounter over 60 students experienced in Zimbabwe in 1994. The message this documentary and the witnesses bring is of overwhelming importance, more so every day. Not only is there the classic visitor warning about how we are treating our environment, but there is another warning, not much noticed in 1994, but that is now becoming crucial.This documentary may reflect on the past, but it holds a precious message about Earth’s future and the fate of mankind that must not be ignored.It is vitally important that Ariel Phenomenon reach the streaming services.

Charles Upton joins Whitley on Dreamland to discuss his latest book, Alien Disclosure Deception: the Metaphysics of Social Engineering. He is a Sufi Muslim, poet and long-term student of metaphysics, who is not afraid to dive deep into an exploration of the origin of the close encounter phenomena, which has left him with a theory which will resonate deeply with some listeners, and horrify others.You might take the tack that if we are going to explore the question of what close encounters are, we need to be open to all ideas. In this show, Whitley opens his mind to the uncomfortable and generally rejected possibility that the close encounter experience might actually be the work of something demonic.There is certainly a dark side to our visitors, so could Charles Upton have the answer as to why this is?

Paul Sinclair is a well-known and well-respected researcher into unexplained phenomena, based in a fishing town on the East Yorkshire coast of England. Paul was inspired by his own inexplicable experiences to investigate further into the meaning behind them and why they seem to be concentrated in certain geographical areas. We welcome him back to Dreamland for another riveting discussion, this time about his newest book ‘Truthproof 4 – Beyond Reasonable Doubt’, and the incredible material Paul came across while conducting his research for it. Among other things, you are going to hear the weirdest and most convincing story of what might have been a werewolf that has perhaps ever been told–let alone experienced by two men trying to enjoy a peaceful camping trip!Paul and Whitley’s discussion will take you on a journey through the world of the unknown, including a werewolf sighting in Broxa Forest, a huge flying pyramid in Wales that resulted in some sort of apparent extensive military action, the possible existence of a seventh sense, sheep mutilations that work just like US cattle mutilations, and a fisherman who had a time slip while fishing for cod.Paul’s recounts may seem like a series of strange campfire horror stories, but they’re completely, terrifyingly and incredibly REAL!Visit Whitley Strieber's site, and consider becoming a subscriber! https://www.unknowncountry.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dreamland-with-whitley-strieber--5209196/support.

Whitley goes it alone on Dreamland this week, and this is just a beautiful, amazing show. He does this so that he can both talk about the May 17 congressional UFO briefing and then the incredible experiences he has had over the past three weeks, which include a bizarre intrusion into his home, a sophisticated attempt to hack Unknowncountry.com, his first UFO sighting in years that took place on the evening of Sunday, May 15, a strange telepathic conversation that took place afterward and a bizarre email that confirms that the conversation really happened.It contains a description of one of the most chilling and yet beautiful dreams of the end-times that has probably ever been described by anybody–short, poetic, chilling and somehow inspiring.This is a really extraordinary show.

Caroline Corey is a talented and respected director and producer, known for her 2019 documentary, Superhuman: The Invisible Made Visible, which she discussed on Dreamland on July 24 2020. She joins Whitley again to talk about her new and award-winning film, A Tear in the Sky, which follows a team of scientists and investigators with almost $650,000 worth of equipment in an effort to capture real-time footage of UFOs and UAPs from three separate locations.In an interview so incredible it leaves Whitley momentarily LOST FOR WORDS, he and Caroline discuss her films, underwater ‘alien’ bases, human consciousness, psychic powers, and a possible communication with whatever it is that is behind this strange phenomenon.Now that this documentary has been made, there will be a paper or papers written by some of the scientists involved, to be published in the peer-reviewed press. This is a step beyond the official revelations that have been made because it will provide scientists with data involving things like the heat signature of the objects recorded, their speed, size, altitude and many other data points. This means that other members of the community can use the same methodologies to see if they can replicate the results. If so, then UFOs will become a legitimate area of scientific study for the first time, offering granting entities a clear avenue to make project funding decisions, which has not existed before.The documentary also marks a step towards a future where close encounters are taken seriously, and where witnesses are no longer dismissed. The reason is simple: if we can prove that these objects are here, then there is a basis for serious study of the claims of contact.Visit Whitley Strieber's site, and consider becoming a subscriber! https://www.unknowncountry.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dreamland-with-whitley-strieber--5209196/support.
