 TGR 06.06.16. The UFO Sightings of Muhammad Ali | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:49:22

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, Micah discusses a recent visit with geologist and researcher Randall Carlson, which involved a long drive to a remote area and an unusual seminar featuring Carlson’s research into ancient Earth changes. Shifting our attention to the news, we examine the latest reports of mystery booms in the UK, and the possible causes behind them.  Next, we discuss a remarkable piece of footage from a Florida motorist, who observed a triangle shaped object while driving at night and — for once — seemed to manage to capture the object on video. Despite the limited view, analysis of the footage does seem to show a large, triangle-shaped object, in continuity with other recent reports of large, triangular aircraft seen in various locales. What are their origins, and if they are a secret U.S. military project, why are they consistently flown over well populated areas? Finally, we round out the hour with discussion of Elon Musk, the latest to weigh in on the argument that our reality may be a simulation. Then in the second hour, we are joined again by Timothy Green Beckley, who recounts his experiences with the late Muhammad Ali, heavyweight champion and, on an interesting note, a longtime believer in UFOs. Beckley tells of meeting Ali on numerous occasions, as well as one visit to Ali’s training camp with none other than Uri Gellar.

 TGR 05.30.16. Tom Slick and Friends in High Places | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:38:57

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, Micah and Race kick things off discussing similarities between people’s attitudes toward the subject of UFOs, compared with similar attitudes people seem to have in relation to politics, religion, science, and a host of other disciplines. On the heels of that discussion, we turn out attention to some interesting UFO footage that has been making the rounds, even making an appearance on Fox News and a number of other news channels and websites. What does it show us, and more importantly, what should we know about the source before we make any judgements about the veracity of the footage? Meanwhile, in Australia many have likened a recent series of earthquakes to “atomic bombs going off below ground.” Also, a new genetic study has helped scientists learn something fascinating about ancient Phoenicians, in an ancient tale that is ever-changing before our modern eyes. Then in hour two, we shift our focus to a fascinating story from Micah’s home state, which involved a mysterious crater that randomly appeared in the forest near Winston Salem, North Carolina, back in the 1960s. From there, it’s off to some discussion about the famous freak of the Himalayas, the Yeti, and how a wealthy oil tycoon had secretly helped scientific research into the creature’s existence a number of decades ago. However, the story of Tom Slick may in fact go much deeper than merely an interest in cryptozoology and mystery beasts, since the wealthy philanthropist had also founded a number of research centers over the years, some of which involved such things as applied physics and consciousness research. As we go further down the rabbit hole, we also find that they may have had to do with a lot more than merely advancements in the world of science.

 TGR 05.23.16. UFOs on Flight Radar and Self-Replicating A.I. | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:43:53

This week on The Gralien Report, a mystery has appeared over New Zealand involving UFOs as a television morning show notes a strange object that appeared on one of its weather cameras… and turned out to be a weather balloon (no, seriously… later in the program, we’ll also identify which one, and how it was involved with a recent NASA study). However, that’s not all that was spotted: a mysterious aircraft was seen streaking across the ocean toward Canberra using a popular commercial aircraft tracking program, moving at remarkable speeds, and displaying a non-existent flight code for it’s identification. Our money is on a glitch with the flight radar program… but is there a chance, however remote, that the app had been tracking something else, and perhaps with capabilities unlike most conventional aircraft? Then later in the program, Micah shares a portion of a recent discussion he had recently with Adam Loyal, a podcaster and fellow Gralien of many years who produces the show Friends to Know. We get into familiar territory as our discussion begins with talk about skepticism applied to subjects like UFOs, alien life, and artificial intelligence, as well as some of the threads that link these subjects conceptually. Then, Adam proposes the notion that A.I. will, in the eventual sense, be capable of replicating itself, and even improving on its own design. What would the advent of self-replicating A.I. mean for future humanity, and is it something we should consider a grave threat, much like Elon Musk and others in the world of tech and innovation have warned?

 TGR 05.17.16. Sasquatch Attacks in American Folklore | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:53:17

This week on The Gralien Report, Micah and Hobbs kick things off with some discussion of the ongoing search for habitable locations throughout our solar system, as well as a portion of audio from an interview in which Micah, along with researchers Richard Dolan and Peter Robbins, discussed the CIA and it’s involvement with UFO research, secret aviation programs, surveillance of civilian UFO groups, and why it kept its activities from the public. This all ties in with Peter’s idea that, going back to before 1947, the American media has worked to discredit ideas pertaining to UFOs, as well as the suggestion that some UFOs may represent alien life. Then switching gears, we also examine a lengthy email from one of our listeners, in which we look at various purported medical conditions and alternative health trends today, and whether science can really account for them. Is there also a profitable angle many companies play when it comes to the public’s belief as it relates to health trends? Finally, in hour two we revisit a classic story involving the legendary Sasquatch, in which a group of miners claimed to have been “attacked” by the creatures in a location near Mount Saint Helens which has since been known as “Ape Canyon.” In addition to being the famous hairy apes portrayed in American folklore, one of the men who was involved in the Ape Canyon further claimed, upon years of reflection, that Sasquatch was actually a mystical creature, rather than a physical one; is this the earliest instance where a “paranormal” theory of origin was attributed to the creatures? Finally, the Ape Canyon story is remarkably similar to an entirely separate encounter, which was reported decades later near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Is it a coincidence that the two stories are so similar, or are they each separate examples of purported “attacks” by a mysterious species living here in the Americas?

 TGR 05.09.16. Do We Exist Inside a Simulated Universe? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:41:13

This week on The Gralien Report, Micah begins with an update about the disappearance of a friend (as discussed previously on the show), before moving on to reports about a “ghost ship” found on the African coast. We then look at concerns among USGS officials about Mount Saint Helens, which erupted with nearly catastrophic results in 1980… could it erupt again within the next few years? On the subject of natural cataclysms, Micah also examines a recent report carried out jointly between the Swedish Global Priorities Project and The Future of Humanity Institute at University of Oxford. The report details a number of things that are deemed plausible threats to humankind in the next five years… and you’ll be surprised to hear what the authors rank as even greater concerns than volcanic eruptions and asteroid strikes: among them are the potential for geo-engineering to “backfire”, as well as concerns over the rise of artificial intelligence. In line with this discussion, as well as a previous discussion from weeks past about whether the universe might be a simulation, Micah proposes a new line of thought pertaining to the idea of a simulated universe, and how artificial intelligence, alien life, and even purported “abduction” experiences might fit into the broader context of such a fabricated reality. Sound a bit far fetched? Interestingly, it isn’t much different from similar themes addressed in the writing of some of the most popular science writers today, as well as the ideas of philosophers going even further back. Could a simulated universe actually be a legitimate scientific possibility, rather than purely the stuff of science fiction? Finally, we take time to examine one of the most unusual Sunday morning sermons you never thought you would hear about UFOs, aliens, spirits, chupacabras, and Bigfoot… which reminds us: did you know there is a 2016 presidential candidate who actually wants to put Bigfoot on the endangered species list? Remarkably, he says this is his strangest campaign stance… but since his other promises include the release of DARPA information about Tesla-inspired time travel technologies, once again we may have to differ.

 TGR 05.03.16. The UFO Incident at Exeter, Revisited | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:50:53

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, a missing person case involving an old friend of the Graliens has put the community on edge near Asheville, North Carolina, as Micah explains the details, in addition to looking at a number of similar cases in the past that have involved everything from professional search and rescue teams, to the predictions made by famous “psychics.” Then shifting gears to what’s in the news, the recent discovery of the lost ship of Captain Cook, as well as the latest centenarian to set a new world record… for running. Also in the news is new scientific data that lends to the argument that many advanced civilizations have likely come and gone throughout the history of the cosmos; in other words, “real” Ancient Aliens, and in the most literal sense. Could this actually lend some credence to the idea that Earth has been visited by intelligent aliens, and that if anything, a likelihood that such visits would have occurred in ancient times, rather than the modern era? Then in the second hour, we take time to examine a famous UFO case from yesteryear, which in 2011 came to the attention of two notable skeptics, who offered what may be the best explanation to-date for what was seen over Exeter, New Hampshire, in September of 1965. However, there are problems with the proposed “solution” to the case that have emerged… is it indeed the best explanation for the famous “Incident at Exeter”, discussed in books like John G. Fuller’s Incident at Exeter: The Story of Unidentified Flying Objects over America Today? Join us and become a member of Gralien X for more great podcasts and bonus monthly specials.

 TGR 04.25.16. Prince: Remembering A Life in the Paranormal | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:46:30

This week on The Gralien Report, mystery booms persist throughout the Carolinas, and Micah begins with an update on unusual sounds that are being reported in his area. Elsewhere, an unusual “hum” is being reported in various parts of the world… Micah produces audio for us, which isolates a sound frequency that some claim “is driving them mad” in parts of the world where it is heard. Then we shift our attention to the loss of another rock icon; following the passing of David Bowie and Merle Haggard, Minneapolis-based singer, songwriter, and performer Prince has been pronounced dead at age 57. We take time to examine a few of the unusual experiences Prince described having throughout his life, which include a miraculous healing in his youth, as well as “lucid dreams” he had shortly before his death, where he claimed to meet the departed spirits of David Bowie, among others. Finally, Prince was at times outspoken on the subject of “chemtrails”, a belief which we also examine in his life and artistry. Then in hour two, in addition to an unusual “time slip” story from one of our listeners, we examine the latest among famous scientists who has begun to endorse the idea that our reality may, in fact, be a simulation. How has the idea gained so much traction in recent years, and what is the justification for this possibility? Also, what does it say about the broader discourse occurring between physicists and philosophers (apart from the fact that maybe the mathematicians have been right all along)? And while we’re discussing reality, one scientist thinks that we’re unable to perceive the majority of “reality”, based on the way humans have evolved over time. Could this offer rationale for why subjects like UFOs are so difficult to explain, and why others fail to recognize or even acknowledge their possibility?

 TGR 04.18.16. UAP and the Human Side of Science | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:49:34

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, on the heels of Micah’s 33rd birthday celebration, we launch into this week’s show with a discussion of how animals relate to their owners, including Dr. Rupert Sheldrake’s famous study (disputed by some) which involved animals apparently being aware of their owners pending arrival before they actually appear at home. Then, Micah presents a discussion about science and the classification systems used for study of unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP) over the last several decades, which recently prompted him to revise and update these criteria, resulting in a new proposed classification system for observations of unconventional aerial objects. However, in order to better implement such studies, Micah also addresses the institution of a filtration system that accounts for a range of different objects and natural phenomena which are often mistaken for UFOs or UAP. The entire system Micah discusses here was recently discussed at his website, in an article called Toward a Better UFOlogy: Applying Science to the Study of UAP. Could a system like this be useful in the further study of unidentified aerial phenomena in the coming years, particularly with the help of emergent, more affordable, accessible and portable technologies? Then in the second hour of the show, Micah is joined by Arthur W. Wiggins, co-author of the new book The Human Side of Science: Edison and Tesla, Watson and Crick, and Other Personal Stories behind Science’s Big Ideas with Charles M. Wynn. Wiggins holds the title of Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Physics, Oakland Community College in Michigan, and during our discussion we talk about the life and work of Nikola Tesla, as well as great minds like Einstein, and many others.
