 12.22.14. Winter Solstice & Predictions on The Gralien Report | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:42:54

Tonight on The Gralien Report, it’s our official, unofficial holiday program! What’s going on in the world of the Sony “Mega-Hack” that’s got everyone talking? We’ll touch on that, but will mostly be splitting our discussion between the mythic history and traditions of winter solstice and the Christmas tradition, as well as a few predictions for 2015. What are your projections for what the coming year will hold? We’d love to hear from you… and to hear what others are saying, follow the conversation on Twitter and Facebook, and tag your own predictions with #gralien2015predictions.

 12.15.14. Threats of Artificial Intelligence on The Gralien Report | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:45:47

This week on The Gralien Report, the lads in the bunker examine strange reports of “sleeping sickness” that have been occurring in Kazakstan for years, at the former site of a top-secret Soviet mining operation. Elsewhere, the mysterious origins of Earth’s water, and listener opinions on whether a “secret space program” might exist are all on the table. Then in hour two, the question on our minds is whether artificial intelligence will eventually destroy mankind, as has been professed by many in the media. To help address this subject, we are joined by Correy Kowall, an artificial intelligence researcher who has worked with the Swiss AI Lab IDSIA, a non-profit oriented research institute for artificial intelligence. Kowall holds a Bachelor’s in Computer Science from Northern Michigan University, and was the first recipient of the Post Growth Challenge for his design of a self-replicable solar kiln. He will begin his Ph.D. studies at St. Andrews in late January. You can read Correy’s blog here, as well as his academic profile here. He has also published articles on the subject, such as the piece titled “AI Doomsaying is the Self Loathing of Jerks“, which appeared in H+ Magazine that can be read here and here. Be sure to check out our daily news updates, as well as our Twitter and Facebook pages.

 12.08.14. Secret Spacecraft & the Mind on The Gralien Report | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:51:10

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, as reports of ‘mystery booms’ continue around the world, Micah considers whether some modern interpretations of UFOs as being part of a “secret space program” utilizing exotic spacecraft have their origins in spy films of the 1960s. We also take time to investigate whether “killer A.I.” theories are released in conjunction with promotion of Terminator movies, as well as a report on Discovery’s latest “mockumentary.”  In hour two, we also dig into discussion of the current state of affairs with government in the Western world, and whether it is “out of date.” Author Gregory Sams (who, coincidentally, invented the “veggie burger”) discusses whether our politics is in need of a reboot, as well as his book Sun of God which delves into questions of chaos theory, creation, and universal consciousness.

 12.01.14. Star Wars and Strange Booms on The Gralien Report | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:39:07

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, the gang discusses people’s reaction to the new teaser trailer for J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as we examine science stories that are suggesting the likelihood that real “Star Wars” type scenarios might exist elsewhere in the cosmos. In hour two, we also examine the numerous reports of mysterious sounds referred to as “sky quakes,” and how one expert believes these sounds could be evidence of a top secret U.S. spy plane. Micah gives us some of the best evidence for the existence of such an aircraft, which may utilize pulse-detonation technologies, along with a candid examination of reports, both present-day and past, of similar “sky quakes” in relation to mysterious aerial phenomenon. We’ve been keeping our Gralien X subscribers up-to-date on the ongoing sky quake saga for a few weeks now… and if you’d like to get the inside scoop about what’s happening behind the bunker walls, sign up for Gralien X to get additional weekly podcasts, monthly specials, and more.
