In the late 1800s, a wave of mysterious 'phantom airships' was reported across the United States—decades before the term 'UFO' even existed. Witnesses described advanced flying machines, unlike any known technology, manned by human-like figures—and sometimes stranger beings. Were these secret prototypes, mass delusions… or something beyond human understanding?

In this episode, we explore the eerie parallels between these sightings and Jules Verne’s Robur the Conqueror, published years earlier. Was Verne a visionary, or did he have access to hidden knowledge? We also examine theories linking these events to later UFO phenomena and the controversial idea that such manifestations may be part of a broader, shape-shifting phenomenon—one that interacts with humanity’s collective beliefs.

Were the phantom airships the first modern UFO mystery? Or proof that the phenomenon is far older—and far weirder—than we think?

What if everything we know about the origins of civilization is wrong? In this episode, we explore the controversial hypothesis that an advanced prehistoric society thrived during the Ice Age—only to be obliterated in a global cataclysm known as the Younger Dryas event. Authors like Graham Hancock argue that ancient megaliths like Göbekli Tepe and the pyramids of Giza, along with universal flood myths and inexplicable astronomical knowledge, point to a forgotten chapter in human history. Could psychedelics have played a role in transmitting lost wisdom? And why does mainstream archaeology resist these ideas? We dive into the evidence, the myths, and the mysteries of a civilization that may have reset human progress 12,800 years ago.

Dive into the enigmatic life of Fulcanelli, the elusive French alchemist whose true identity remains shrouded in mystery. Through the writings and testimonies of his alleged disciple, Eugène Canseliet, we explore Fulcanelli’s aristocratic origins and the circumstances surrounding his mysterious "disappearance" in the 1920s—possibly a staged death to live as an Adept.

We examine the blurred lines between Fulcanelli and Jean-Julien Champagne, the illustrator of his books, who may have served as a decoy to conceal the alchemist’s true identity. Additionally, we delve into Fulcanelli’s eerie predictions about nuclear weapons, his rumored mastery over matter and energy, and astonishing claims of his rejuvenation in later encounters.

From Le Mystère des Cathédrales to whispers of parallel realities, this episode unravels the legend behind one of history’s most cryptic alchemical figures. Was Fulcanelli a genius, a fraud, or something beyond human understanding?

Join us for a short but deep dive into Fabulous Science: Fact and Fiction in the History of Scientific Discovery by historian John Waller. This episode unpacks Waller’s provocative thesis: many iconic "breakthroughs" in science are myths, shaped by bias, politics, or outright deception.

- What’s real vs. rewritten? Why do scientific legends often overshadow truth? -The dark side of progress: How cultural biases, rivalry, and media hype distort discovery.

Perfect for science lovers, history buffs, and skeptics who wonder: How much of "established" science is just a good story?

In this episode... A short but deep dive into the fascinating world of the classic book Passport to Magonia, written by Jacques Vallée. We explore the revolutionary theories of this renowned UFO researcher, who reimagines UFO encounters as part of a cultural and psychological phenomenon that transcends time. Join us as we break down the key points of this foundational work and discuss its impact on the modern understanding of the unknown. Get ready for a journey into the unexplained!

In this episode, the ideas of free energy are explored, beginning with the supposed inventions of Edwin Gray and his "cold electricity" technology. Gray's work is connected with Nikola Tesla's research on "radiant energy," suggesting that both discovered the same phenomenon. It is argued that this form of energy challenges widespread interpretations of the Laws of Thermodynamics, particularly the First and Second Laws. Finally, the nature of heat and the existence of an "Etheric Energy Field" are examined, presented as a source of energy that defies conventional thermodynamic principles.

A short but deep dive to explore one of physics' greatest mysteries: the fundamental constants of the universe. Drawing from the work of German physicist Harald Fritzsch, we investigate why these immutable numbers govern everything from gravitational force to the speed of light. Are they truly constant, or could they vary across time and space? Join us as we unravel the profound implications of these cosmic 'rules' and what they reveal about the very fabric of reality. Get ready to question the very foundations of physics!

Are history books hiding the truth about humanity's past? In this episode, we explore The Morning of the Magicians (Le Matin des Magiciens) and The Rebellion of the Magicians (La Révolte des Magiciens)—seminal works by Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier that pioneered the genre of "fantastic realism" and challenged conventional narratives of civilization, science, and esoteric knowledge.

Were there pre-flood civilizations? Could alchemy, sacred geometry, or even extraterrestrial contact explain these mysteries? We examine the authors' most provocative theories—and why these mid-20th century masterworks remain disturbingly relevant today.
