    Episode 180: How the UFO Question Survived
    Jul 1 2026
    In 1947, a private pilot named Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine strange objects flying near Mount Rainier. What followed would change history. From the birth of the modern UFO era to secret government investigations, mysterious Green Fireballs, and the efforts of astronomer J. Allen Hynek, we trace the origins of a mystery that refused to disappear.

    In Part One of our four-part UFO series, we examine the earliest sightings, the FBI's involvement, Project Sign, and the controversial Robertson Panel. Was the phenomenon misunderstood, misidentified, or something far more extraordinary?

    The question began in 1947. Nearly eighty years later, we're still asking it.

    They worked on anti‑gravity technology, fusion energy, and the recovery of alien craft. Some disappeared. Others turned up dead or died by suicide under suspicious circumstances. One by one, they were silenced. The White House calls it a "grave national security threat." Federal agencies are investigating. The question is not whether there's a pattern. The question is what are they trying to hide…and who is watching?Topis starts at [12:00]- Amy Eskridge- Michael David Hicks- Frank Maiwald - Matthew Sullivan - Anthony Chavez- Monica Jacinto Reza - Last Known Photo of Monica Jacinto Reza - Melissa Casias - Joshua LeBlanc - Steven Garcia - First Lieutenant Jaime Sue Gustitus - Jacob and Jaymee Prichard - Nuno Loureiro - Cláudio Valente (Shot Nuno Loureiro)- Jason Thomas- Carl Grillmair - Frederick Snyder (Shot Carl Grillmair) - Major General William Neil McCasland - David Wilcock- Outtakes after the showVisit our websiteEmail the show!

  • April Bonus: Long Island Serial Killer Update

    April Bonus: Long Island Serial Killer Update
    Apr 27 2026
    The Long Island Serial Killer has finally spoken.

    In a chilling courtroom confession, Rex Heuermann admitted to eight murders, ending decades of speculation while raising even more questions. In just 20 minutes, the man accused of terrorizing Gilgo Beach calmly detailed how he killed his victims, showing no remorse, no emotion, just cold, clinical answers.

    But this isn’t the end of the story. New revelations, hidden connections, and active investigations across multiple states suggest the full truth may be far bigger than anyone imagined. From unidentified victims still without names, to potential links in Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and beyond, this case is far from closed.

    And then there’s Shannan Gilbert, the woman whose disappearance started it all. Was she a victim of the same killer, or something else entirely?

    This episode breaks down everything we know right now...and what could come next.

  • Episode 175: THE LONG HAUL: Serial Killers, Truck Drivers, and America’s Interstate Dead

    Episode 175: THE LONG HAUL: Serial Killers, Truck Drivers, and America’s Interstate Dead
    Feb 1 2026
    The Long Haul examines America’s interstate highway system as an unintentional hunting ground for serial killers who exploited mobility, anonymity, and jurisdictional gaps to evade detection. From the FBI’s Highway Serial Killings Initiative to terrifying case studies of long-haul truckers like Robert Ben Rhoades, Dellmus Colvin, Bruce Mendenhall, and Keith Jesperson, this episode exposes how highways became corridors of opportunity, and how marginalized victims are systematically erased between exits. This is a deep dive into forgotten murders, fractured investigations, and the dark truth that some of the deadliest crime scenes in America are still moving.Topic starts at [15:36] Robert Ben RhoadesDouglas Scott Zyskowski (Killed by Robert Ben Rhoades)Patricia “Candace” Walsh (Killed by Robert Ben Rhoades)Regina Kay Walters (Killed by Robert Ben Rhoades)Ricky Lee Jones (Killed by Robert Ben Rhoades)Dellmus “Dell” Charles ColvinValerie Jones (Killed by Dellmus Colvin)Dorothea Wetzel (Killed by Dellmus Colvin)Jackie Simpson (Killed by Dellmus Colvin)Jacquelynn Thomas (Killed by Dellmus Colvin)Lily Summers (Killed by Dellmus Colvin)Melissa Weber (Killed by Dellmus Colvin)Bruce MendenhallCarma Purpura (Killed by Bruce Mendenhall)Sara Nicole Hulbert (Killed by Bruce Mendenhall)Symantha Winters (Killed by Bruce Mendenhall)Keith JespersonJulie Ann Winningham (Killed by Keith Jesperson)Clark Perry BaldwinUnsolved: Tammy ZywickiWayne Adam FordPatricia Anne Tamez (Killed by Wayne Adam Ford)Outtakes after the showGet some Supernatural Occurrence Studies podcast gear and support the show!

    Episode 174: The Drowning Men - From the Midwest to the Bayou
    Jan 1 2026
    Across decades and miles, young men disappear along waterways, alone, intoxicated, and unseen, only to resurface lifeless, their final moments swallowed by the currents. From the Midwest’s Smiley Face cases to Houston’s 2025 bayou deaths, patterns of undetermined drownings, missing-time gaps, and disturbing similarities emerge. Families suspect foul play; authorities deny it. Water conceals, distorts, and erases evidence, leaving only questions. This episode explores the eerie parallels, forensic puzzles, and haunting secrets that America’s waterways refuse to reveal.
