 TGR 07.27.15. The Georgia Guidestones, Unmasked | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:55:50

This week on The Gralien Report: how did a nuclear reactor come to exist 2 billion years ago? Here comes the science… as well as new predictions about the eventual demise of humanity, which gives us a little less than 100 years before all hell breaks loose. As we know, certain members of the scientific community and intelligentsia have had such doomsday themes in mind for the last few decades. Which, in turn, has led to some interesting interpretations about the inspiration behind the famous Georgia Guidestones, a monument which many attribute to secretive global elites with plans for population control, selective breeding, and the blending of language and culture to engineer a perfected citizenry of planet Earth. Dr. Mike Bennett of the Future Quqke radio program joins us to discuss the theories, and new revelations about the Guidestones and their mysterious origins. Bennett participated in the creation of a recent documentary, Dark Clouds Over Elberton, which explores the Georgia Guidestones, their ties to Rosicrucianism, and the identity of the mysterious “R.C. Christian”, to whom the monument is attributed. Has the mystery of the Georgia Guidestones finally been solved? Want more from the Gralien Report? Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.

 TGR 07.20.15. Musica Anomalia and Lennon’s UFO | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:42:21

This week on The Gralien Report, the latest in a series of shark attacks features a champion surfer escaping from the jaws of… well, Jaws. Also, concerns in the Lone Star State have people talking about Jade Helm 15, which we take a moment to look at, along with an update from Scotty Roberts on Paradigm Symposium 2015. Finally, what do we do when robots start thinking, and will it lead to real self-awareness, and eventual artificial intelligence in our future? Then in hour two, we look at weirdness in the world of popular music throughout the decades, along with modern conspiracies about albums and artists. For instance, remember the theory that Paul McCartney had died, and was replace by a double? Of greater interest is the strange story of John Lennon’s UFO encounter, which was widely reported and appeared to have a profound effect on his life. As strange as Lennon’s UFO story ended up being, we’re still very perplexed by the weird urban legend involving the way Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, when played alongside “The Wizard of Oz, displays remarkable synchronicities. Is there more to the legend than mere myth? Want more from the Gralien Report? Follow The Gralien Report on Twitter, and Like Us on Facebook.

 TGR 07.13.15. The Cash Landrum Incident: New Details? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:58:20

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, Rendlesham is back in the news, with claims of “new evidence” in support of the famous 1980 UFO encounter that have some researchers wondering whether radio operators tracked the aircraft purportedly seen near the Suffolk RAF base. Also, Col. Charles Halt, one of the principle witnesses, describes his thoughts about the encounter, which remains a perplexing, and contentious item of debate among UFO researchers. Within days of the Rendlesham incident, halfway across the world a similar UFO observation would occur near Dayton, Texas, which forever changed the lives of two women, Betty Cash and Vicky Landrum, along with Vicky’s grandson Colby. The story, known today as the Cash Landrum incident, is well remembered in UFO literature, but is there reason to question certain aspects of the long maintained story, and can any new information be determined by a careful examination of early witness descriptions? Finally, we look at theories about the case espoused by members of the skeptical community, and ask whether aspects of these investigations haven’t offered equal amounts of conjecture, comparable to that of UFO advocates, albeit from an ‘opposing’ viewpoint.

 TGR 07.06.15. The Search for ET and Cinema Symbolism | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:46:37

As our exploration of space reaches further beyond the known, this week on The Gralien Report we examine claims that alien life may soon be discovered by the ESA’s Philae lander, which some scientists indirectly associated with the project have claimed. Meanwhile, the Daily Beast features a breakdown of alien abduction claims, which offers sleep paralysis as an explanation for the purported phenomenon. Could there be more to some reports, and if so, what would it indicate? Then in hour two, we turn our attention to esoteric and occult symbolism prevalent in popular films, ranging from Star Wars and the Matrix to cult classics like Blade Runner. Robert W. Sullivan is our guest, and in his latest book, Cinema Symbolism, he catalogues many of the more apparent and curious examples of symbolism seen in modern film. To learn more about Robert and his work, you can visit his website here. Want more from The Gralien Report?

 TGR 06.29.15. Civil War, Secret Societies & 1850s Airships | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:45:22

This week on The Gralien Report, while another day passes with a failed SpaceX rocket launch, we turn our attention to reports of mystery objects streaking through the skies, as well as one listener’s question of whether microwave radiation may be associated with many classic UFO encounters. Also, at the request of our listeners, Micah, joined by Crypto-X cohost Dakota Waddell, takes a little time to address the contentious debate surrounding the Confederate Flag that’s been in the news. Then in hour two, we shift gears and examine the strange story of Charles Dellschau, an artist who claimed to have been a draftsman with a group called the Sonora Aero Club, a secretive organization of aviation enthusiasts in the middle of the nineteenth century who were purportedly overseen by an even more secretive group called “NYMZA”. Widely regarded as the stuff of fiction, the strange story of Charles Dellschau has been left out of many stories about secret societies; but it would haunt the Houston-based artist and UFO buff Pete Navarro for years. More recently, the odd story has been making the rounds again. For more, check out MessyNessy’s great article on Dellschau’s story. Is it evidence of secret societies, and their relationship with the construction of experimental aircraft testing in the 1850s? The evidence may suggest otherwise… and we’ll examine it all on this week’s edition of The Gralien Report.

 TGR 06.22.15. Mystery Animals & Meaningful Coincidence | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:47:32

On The Gralien Report this week, we examine news of a purported “pyramid” on Ceres, as well as how NASA’s chief spoke about alien life and Area 51 while talking with school children, which has caused an odd reaction among many enthusiasts. We also discuss news item relating to the tragic Charleston shooting, as well as the former White House chef who relocated to Taos, New Mexico, whose body was recently found on a remote mountain. Then in hour two, we shift our focus to the idea of meaningful coincidence, whether the “meaning” behind synchronicity is entirely subjective, and if the idea of meaningful coincidence can be studied in a scientific capacity. Finally, following the news that Scottish actress Karen Gillian has lent her voice to guided tours of Scotland’s most famous Fortean lake, we also examine a collection of the best, and most obscure, reports of mystery animals from over the years. Many of these have turned up in a number unlikely locations over the years, and in our exploration of such creatures, we look at everything from news reports of mystery animals, to folklore and its possible underpinnings in science.

 TGR 06.15.15. Bilderberg 2015 & The Port Chicago Disaster | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:48:32

This week on The Gralien Report, to celebrate the kickoff of Bilderberg 2015 (and National Bourbon Appreciation Day), Micah and the Gralien Reverend Matt Oakley indulge in a bit of conspiracy news, as well as strange news relating to marine biology, and an analysis of the new budding relationship between science and religion… or more specifically, Pope Francis and Climate Change. Then in hour two, we are visited in the Bunker, once again, by a truly “alien” individual: the entity known only as “Victor”, who first came onto our radars in conspiracy circles as a purported employee at the famed – and highly secretive – Area 51. Victor, also hailing from the future, shares information with us about the coming Singularity, and even what role Neil Degrass Tyson may play in the future of humanity. Finally, taking our tongues out of our cheeks, we turn to a frightening World War  II incident that has led many conspiracy theorists to believe a nuclear weapon had been tested at Port Chicago, California. But had that really been the case, and is there evidence to support the claim? We tackle this, and much more, on this week’s edition of The Gralien Report. Want more from the Gralien Report?

 TGR 06.08.15. A Trojan Feast: Fortean Food in Folklore | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:42:49

This week on The Gralien Report, it’s been an interesting week for spaceflight, as reports of NASA’s “flying saucer” and the new experimental LightSail programs have dominated headlines. But while the media is focused on the future of space flight, we step back and look at the past as well, and theories about whether the Nazis had been close to getting their own space program off the ground. Is there any legitimacy to the claims, or is this purely an instance of modern conspiracy folklore? Then in hour two, on the subject of folklore, Joshua Cutchin joins us to discuss his latest book, A Trojan Feast, which outlines the curious ties between food offerings and nonhuman encounters in legends from around the world. Joshua brings many interesting aspects of this phenomenon into question, such as the parallels between myths involving fairies giving food to their captives, and similarities that emerge in modern claims associated with alien abductions.
