Matt, Katie, and EJ continue their investigation into the rumors of Mokele-Mbembe and the living dinosaurs of Africa. Alternative historians claim that an ancient city in Zimbabwe is the lost biblical city of Ophir. Early cryptozoologist Willy Ley gets in on the speculation too. He believes that there's a prehistoric monster etched on a Babylonian Gate and that German explorers encounter dinosaurs in Africa. Unfortunately for Ley, he's spectacularly wrong, but he's laying the groundwork for one of the most fascinating mysteries in the Fortean sciences - the living dinosaurs of the Congo.

Matt, Katie, and EJ tackle the latest Fortean news. We talk about the Department of War's UFO files, and the real purpose of UAP monitoring programs like Project Blue Book. Then, we cover the meeting of televangelists who claim they were instructed to bring UAP disclosure to their congregations. And we dive deep into the four different species of aliens, and their real origins. Plus, a new sighting from Loch Ness is not what (or who) you think!

Modern science tells us that the dinosaurs died out some sixty-six million years ago. But, according to rumors, there may be a place you can find them alive. For generations, explorers and locals claim that living dinosaurs stalk the wilds of the African jungles, hiding from discovery in one of the most inhospitable regions of the world. If true, this could be a revelation so profound that it would rock the foundations of modern science for decades.

In this series, we will explore the theory that dinosaurs have survived in the wilds of Africa, and the strange interplay of cryptozoology and creationism. How did one of the coolest animals in history end up as the pivotal argument in flawed science? And is there any proof that dinosaurs still roam the earth?
