Shifting the Paradigm

E15 - THE ABDUCTION PHENOMENON( To see the video of this show, click here >> https://youtu.be/iS8TvyDEKwQ )In this episode, Cristina is joined by Fade to Black Radio Host Jimmy Church for a look at a dark and murky mystery that straddles the UFO / UAP topic and just won't go away, the abduction of humans by aliens over the years. Many researchers have taken the brave leap into the unknown by examining the cases and accounts of people, from children to older aged citizens, being taken aboard an alien spacecraft, most often against their will, and undergoing sometimes brutal experiments and treatment by either the 'Grey' type aliens, or reptilians, or others.Budd Hopkins, John Mack, Karla Turner, David Jacobs, Linda Moulton-Howe, and Nick Pope are just a few of the most prominent researchers and authors over the years who have tackled the abduction phenomenon head on, with the topic gaining major serious traction in the 1990's due to the daring efforts of the late Dr. John Mack, of Harvard University.During the show, Cristina and Jimmy will cover several aspects of the mystery, including physical evidence such as scoop marks and implants, the curious stories of alleged generational abductions, the types of experiments conducted, plus look at the pioneering and brave research of individuals who have since passed away. The topic, while dark and scary in many respects, simply will not go away, and while many UFO researchers try to keep the subject on the fringes, due to the inherent problem with anecdotal tales, others have taken steps to validate the experience of abductees, the majority of which considering themselves to be victims, utilizing hypnosis among other methods of validation. But what is the truth..??

Episode 18 - Cristina talks former AATIP Director Lue Elizondo about the last 2 months, & sudden Media Silence on UFOs( To see the video of this show, click here >> https://youtu.be/6apab6_GNwk )Cristina catches up with Lue Elizondo to find out about what he has been busy with over the last 2 months since the drop of the DoD's UAP Report. Other topics discussed include the sudden silence in mainstream media in regards to UFOs / UAPs reports and discussions, as well as the origin of the source of the UFO / UAP intelligence and what the future holds for disclosure efforts and UFO truth and transparency.Lue Elizondo is the former Senior Counterintelligence Officer for the Department of Defense, and ex-Director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. Being primarily focused on secretive investigations of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena ( UAPs ) more commonly known as Unidentified Flying Objects ( UFOs ) the classified program first garnered the attention of the public on December 16, 2017, when the world was stunned by an article published by the NY Times publication entitled "Glowing Auras and 'Black Money'.The program was initiated in 2007, with an approved budget of $22 million to be used until 2012 when the program would either cease, or request further budget appropriations.The Department of Defense reported that the program indeed ended in 2012 after a working period of 5 years. Since leaving the AATIP program, Mr. Elizondo has made it a personal crusade to get over many obstacles and hurdles in order to pursue continued research and investigations into the mystery of the UFOs that have buzzed US Navy Carrier Strike groups around the world, flown with impunity into restricted air space, interacted with sensitive National Defense assets, and traversed trans-medium environments such as Space, the Oceans, and the Skies around the globe.Mr. Elizondo began working with an organization founded in 2011 by the musician Tom DeLonge of the music band Blink-182, known as "To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science" where he was joined by other high ranking ex-Government consultants and officials, such as Dr. Hal Puthoff, who directed a CIA/DIA-funded program at SRI International to investigate paranormal abilities, and Chris Mellon, who was the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence in the Clinton and George W. Bush Administrations, and later in a capacity for Security and Information Operations, and also formerly served as the Staff Director of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.In late 2020 it was reported that Mr. Elizondo and several others had parted company with "TTSA" in order to further pursue their own avenues of UFO Investigations.

Episode 14 - Cristina talks UFOs with Writer & Journalist Micah HanksJimmy Church of Fade to Black Radio makes a surprise appearance in the first half of the show.With more than a decade in podcasting, travel, writing and research, and the study of history and science, Micah Hanks has more than just a passion for knowledge.His study of world history, culture and philosophy over the years have helped shape his nonpartisan outlook on current events, and always with a nod to the lessons history can teach us. Be sure to visit Micah’s blog for more of his writing, research and ideas.Micah is a longtime advocate for scientific research into unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), more commonly known as “UFOs.” He is an affiliate member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU), as well as a frequent commentator and writer on the subject, and maintains an interest in the history, and possible scientific explanations for aspects of the phenomenon. You can learn about some of Micah’s UAP research here and here. Micah’s other interests include space studies, zoological mysteries and unusual phenomena in nature. A “hopeful skeptic,” he advocates a critically-minded approach to the study of these subjects. After several years as a producer for iHeart Media (formerly Clear Channel Radio), Micah began podcasting in 2011. From the former ATF agent who became the whistle blower that brought attention to the “Operation Fast and Furious” scandal, to a psychologist who once consulted former Beatle John Lennon, Micah has interviewed a number of experts over the years in the fields of science, technology, philosophy, history, archaeology, and other disciplines.In 2016, Hanks began working closely with the archaeological community in the Southeastern United States, in an effort to understand relationships between early North Americans and their environment at the end of the last ice age. In 2018, he produced a short documentary on the controversial Topper archaeological site in Allendale County, South Carolina.Micah is a frequent guest on podcasts and radio programs, and has been interviewed by Vice, CNN Radio, Coast to Coast AM, Mysterious Universe, Hot Air, and a number of other outlets. He has also lectured in America and Europe on a variety of subjects that include archaeology, unidentified flying objects, and historical mysteries.

EPISODE 8 - Portals, Wormholes, Stargates, Black Holes; these have become modern day tropes in a variety of TV Shows, Documentaries, and movies. All of them point to hypothetical ways to circumvent linear travel in both Space and Time.The concept of Wormholes was first envisioned and theorized in 1916 by Austrian physicist Ludwig Flamm, while working upon variables in the equations set down by Albert Einstein in 1915 with his ground-breaking Theory of General Relativity. Flamm, while looking for other solutions, arrived at a series of equations that led him to theorize about an object he described as a "white hole," being a zone in space housing a theoretical time reversal of a black hole. According to his theory, entrances to both black and white holes could be connected by a space-time conduit that would in effect 'cheat' normal linear space travel.Then in 1928, Hermann Weyl, a German mathematician, and theoretical physicist, proposed a wormhole hypothesis, but using the term "One-Dimensional Tubes", to speak of a theory of matter in connection with mass analysis of electromagnetic field energy.Later, in 1935, Albert Einstein and Physicist Nathan Rosen announced their wormhole theory which technically became known as an "Einstein-Rosen Bridge", which they had come upon while working on special solutions for 'Einstein Field Equations'. The theory points to a speculative structure that in effect, links two disparate points in spacetime. More precisely it is a transcendental bijection of the spacetime continuum, an asymptotic projection of the Calabi–Yau manifold manifesting itself in Anti-de Sitter space.In this episode, Michael Mataluni will cover aspects of the physics, and science, regarding wormholes and portals, while Cristina will give accounts where mysterious events and disappearances have occurred that would indicate the involvement of portals/wormholes.How close are we to figuring out how to create them..? Are UFOs and Aliens using them to travel to our world..? Do beings from other dimensions use such exotic forms of travel to break the barrier between dimensions to visit our planet, and our Universe..??These questions and more, will be covered during the show.

EPISODE 7 - The Men in Black - Mysteries with a HistoryDating back to the late 1940s, there are stories of individuals involved with the topic of UFOs being approached by mysterious and intimidating Men in Black acting with bizarre behavioral characteristics. These menacing figures have been popularized in recent years with Hollywood blockbuster UFOs and Aliens science fiction movies, even to the point of being interpreted as the good guys, and yet, their actual history of interacting with journalists, researchers, and witnesses has proven that they represent something dark and sinister rather than positive and a force for good.In many instances over the decades, UFO witnesses have been harassed, and intimidated into keeping their accounts out of the public eye, and in some very bizarre cases, being approached even before they have told anyone of their sighting - so how would these Men in Black know about the sighting..? Could they be agents of some alien group, or are they alien themselves..?It seems like the mystery has many facets. They could be Government intelligence agents working to keep the topic of UFOs and alien visitations suppressed in some kind of dark conspiracy and cover up, while another group could be alien hybrids, and even some suggestions that these individuals may come from an entirely different dimension.Could there be a connection to the Shadow People, or even the Black Eyed Kids..??In this episode, Cristina will guide you through a selection of the most mysterious and inexplicable tales of Encounters between UFO witnesses, researchers, journalists, and authors and the intimidating Men in Black.
