Answers in the Anomalies is a podcast that takes the strange seriously — because the data that doesn't fit our paradigms may be the most important data we have. Philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn showed us that scientific revolutions happen when someone finally pays attention to the anomalies. These anomalies are crowding in on consensus reality.

Hosted by Christopher McGarvey, an Eastern Orthodox Christian with a Master of Divinity from St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary, this show explores UFOs and the full spectrum of anomalous experience through a rigorous theological lens that the Western world has largely forgotten. The Orthodox tradition never got trapped in Enlightenment materialism. It lives with miracles, wrestles with non-human entities, and preserves ancient wisdom the modern world needs.

We treat Experiencer testimony as primary evidence. We interview researchers and leading voices in the UFO and anomalous community. We compare competing paradigms. We follow the UFO through-thread wherever it leads — into consciousness, ancient history, the nature of reality, and the deepest questions of human existence.

And we ask what the Church needs to know — right now — as disclosure unfolds and the paradigm begins to crack. The answer lies in the anomalies.

Anomaly responsibly. Hear widely. Think deeply. Hold lightly.

    Answers in the Anomalies - Ep. 05: Would Aliens Need Jesus? w/ Dr. Paul Thigpen Pt. 2 | UFOs, Theology, and the Vatican
    2026/08/25
    If aliens exist, would they need a savior? Would Jesus incarnate as an extraterrestrial? These questions might sound silly, but serious thinkers were asking them hundreds of years ago—including America’s founding fathers, such as Thomas Paine and Benjamin Frankling. We’re diving deep into theological speculation about the nature, spiritual status, redemption, and final destiny of extraterrestials, if they exist, in Christian reflection. And the history of this reflection goes back surprisingly far.We’ll look at how Christian thought about life on other worlds developed post-Galileo, and how philosophers, preachers, popes, and saints weighed in on the question—with a surprising consensus developing in the 19th century that life on other worlds was not only possible, but almost inevitable.From there, we’ll turn to present-day ufology, and what the Catholic Church might know about alien life. Does the Vatican know more than it openly admits about UFOs? Did a pope once help extradite a crashed UFO to America, well before the Roswell incident?Join us for part two of our discussion with Catholic theologian and UAP scholar, Dr. Paul Thigpen of blessed memory. Dr. Thigpen’s superb work in this field granted him access to some of the most important figures in the modern disclosure movement: government officials, intelligence officers, and key whistleblowers. He knew personally half of the cast of Age of Disclosure, and was on familiar speaking terms with David Grusch. He even became a beloved spiritual mentor to Dylan Borland, a devout Catholic and UFO whistleblower who testified about his black triangle sighting and secret UFO programs under oath to congress. Dr. Thigpen was well-positioned to understand what is really going on in the UFO phenomenon, and well-trained to make sense of it within the historical Christian tradition. Which makes his viewpoint very significant.This episode was recorded just 8 days before Dr. Thigpen’s passing, and is the last interview he ever gave. His insights are crucial for learning how to ask the right questions, and what the UFO phenomenon might mean for the Christian faith, without fear. Tune in and learn just how deep these questions go.

    Answers in the Anomalies – Ep. 04: ETs and Christian Faith w/ Dr. Paul Thigpen Pt. 1 | Do Aliens Disprove Christianity?
    2026/08/19

    If aliens exist, does it disprove Christianity? Or is their room in Orthodox theology for extraterrestrial life? What if non-human intelligence takes the form of something even weirder, like intelligent plasma, interdimensional beings, or cryptoterrestrials? How does Bible relate to the question of UFOs, UAPs, ETs, and NHI?

    We dive deep with theologian and church historian Dr. Paul Thigpen, author of Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the Catholic Faith. You will probably be surprised to learn that the conversation about life on other worlds goes back to the earliest centuries of the church fathers, including St. John Chrysostom, and extends even earlier to the ancient Greek philosophers. St. Anthony the Great reports an encounter with a satyr, and St. Jerome insists that they had bodies of such a being in Constantinople. Other church figures ponder the possibility of intelligent stars, and a middle nature between humans and angels similar.

    Discover how the ancient Greeks, the early Church fathers, popes and saints thought about the idea of non-human intelligence. Did St Anthony the Great encounter what today we might call a cryptoterrestrial? Did the ancient Greeks already conceive of the possibility of a multiverse? Was the Orthodox church open to the idea of intelligent plasma?

    Tune in and find out how deep and fascinating the conversation about non human intelligence has been through the centuries of the faith, as we try to make sense of what we may be witnessing in our skies today.

    Answers in the Anomalies – Ep. 03: Blue Planet Red w/ Brian Cory Dobbs Pt. 2 | Psychic Spies, Busy Skies, and Lost Civilization on Mars
    2026/08/06
    CIA psychic spies remote viewed ancient Mars in 1984 as part of Project Stargate, and they saw something incredible: the vestiges of a civilization ravaged by global catastrophe, and the shadows of a dying alien race. They saw megaliths, pyramids, and settlements, and talked to beings who hinted at what went wrong.Join us for part two of our interview with Brian Cory Dobbs as we discuss his award-winning Mars documentary, Blue Planet Red. We’ll explore the scientific evidence for a global Martian catastrophe that destroyed the atmosphere, and whether it was a natural disaster… or an artificial one. And we’ll discuss the many UFO sightings still occurring in the skies of Mars today. Afterwards, I’ll reflect on the implications of our discussion via science, theology, and the bible, from an Orthodox Christian point of view.Topics: Life on Mars · Aliens · Remote Viewing · Psychics · Lost Civilization · Project Stargate · UFOs · UAP · Ingo Swann · Joe McMoneagle · Hal Puthoff · Russell Targ · Pyramids · Ancient Aliens · Global cataclysm · Geology · Catastrophism · Younger Dryas · Electric Universe · Robert Schoch · Thunderbolts Project · Plasma Discharge · John Brandenburg · Bible · Eastern Orthodox Theology · Divination · Science · Thomas KuhnWatch Part 1 of our interview with Brian Cory Dobbs here:https://youtu.be/heiDz4pQ0awBlue Planet Red – Watch the film!https://blueplanetred.net/f/blue-planet-red-now-availableBlue Planet Red Websitehttps://blueplanetred.net/Blue Planet Red YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@briancorydobbsJoe McMoneagle Mars Remote Viewing Transcript May 22, 1984 https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00788R001900760001-9.pdfLive Audio Recording of Joe McMoneagle Mars Remote Viewing – 1984https://youtu.be/ih4we_RQbfA?si=DIZEUp3p9RzLlMyhBrian Interviews Tom McNear and Joe McMoneagale about Remote Viewing Mars Pyramidshttps://youtu.be/OuVd7JJHTx8?si=dlgz1wd4tfxykIb7Thunderbolts Project – A Voice for the Electric Universehttps://www.youtube.com/@ThunderboltsProjectThis Plasmoid Destroyed the Ice Age Civilization (this is fascinating!)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR0Qs5oJIAUUFOs on Mars:Jean Ward, Independent Mars Researcherhttps://www.youtube.com/jeanwardJean Ward’s Top Ten Mars Anomalies 2025:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw4S_nBuIlAMegalithic MarsThe ongoing study of megalithic ruins, structures and out-of-place objects discovered on Marshttps://megalithicmars.com/MUSIC CREDITSTitle Sequence and Transition Music:"Ghost Storm" and additional tracks from the album Distant Mind Alternative (1999, Independent Release) by Kohllapse, and the album Kohllapse (1996, Independent Release) by Kohllapse.
