This week we dive into the mystery of 3I/ATLAS, the bizarre interstellar object that flew through our solar system, baffled scientists, and left the internet full of speculation. But instead of dry science, you’re getting a full-on comedy podcast treatment, complete with gaslighting, space poo jokes, frying pans in orbit, and Dan’s heartfelt argument that it was actually an alien Winnebago on a tourist trip. If you came here for astrophysics, you may learn something by accident, but mostly you’ll get two people making each other laugh while pretending to investigate space.

The story begins with what should have been a straightforward cosmic visitor. Astronomers saw an object and called it a comet, except it didn’t have the one thing a comet is famous for: a tail. Then it sped up when it shouldn’t have, ignored the basic rules of gravity, and left everyone confused. Naturally, some people whispered “alien technology” while others muttered “space rock with issues.” Into this void of uncertainty step your hosts, ready to provide the kind of cutting-edge analysis you only get when two friends with microphones talk over each other for half an hour.

Roxy immediately derails the conversation by gaslighting Dan into admitting he said “solar sails.” He didn’t, but she insists he did, because she needs the setup for her punchline. This running argument becomes the spine of the episode, proving once again that comedy podcasts are not about truth, they’re about timing. From there she goes on to pitch her own theories: maybe it’s space poo, maybe it’s a frying pan flung across the galaxy, maybe it’s both. All of which sound only slightly less plausible than the official explanations.

Dan, trying to keep things grounded, introduces the “Space Winnebago” theory. Imagine aliens cruising through our solar system in a cosmic campervan, snapping holiday photos of Saturn’s rings before heading home. Does this explain the weird trajectory and sudden acceleration better than existing scientific models? Absolutely not. Does it make more sense if you picture aliens in socks and sandals struggling to parallel park between Jupiter and Mars? Definitely.

Between the jokes, we do actually cover the main reasons why 3I/ATLAS is strange. Its orbit doesn’t match expectations. It doesn’t behave like a normal comet. Its speed changes are difficult to explain without resorting to the idea that something intelligent might have nudged it. We even mention Avi Loeb, the Harvard astronomer who seriously argues some of these objects could be probes. But in true comedy podcast fashion, the real science gets sandwiched between riffs about frying pans in space and whether alien tourists would need intergalactic insurance.

By the end of the episode, we don’t solve the mystery, but we do deliver a conversation full of banter, jokes, and wild speculation. If you enjoy comedy podcasts where the hosts gaslight each other, lean way too hard into bad analogies, and somehow turn astrophysics into material for stand-up, this is your kind of show. We guarantee you’ll never hear the words “space poo” and “comet” used so confidently in the same sentence again.

So what is 3I/ATLAS? An alien probe? A cosmic Winnebago? A frying pan hurled from another galaxy? We can’t promise answers, but we can promise laughter, tangents, and a very silly half hour of audio.

What if aliens aren’t little green men from distant galaxies… but humans from the future?

In this episode, we take on the Future Human Theory — the mind-bending idea that the beings often described in alien encounters (especially those classic big-eyed Greys) might not be extraterrestrial at all. Instead, they might be distant descendants of humanity, travelling back through time to observe, study, and (maybe) save us from ourselves.

Dan tries to piece together the clues: from UFOs hovering over nuclear facilities, to abduction stories centered around DNA collection, to anatomical features of the so-called “aliens” that suspiciously line up with our projected evolution. Rox, naturally, is skeptical and ready with her usual toolkit of sarcasm, roast energy, and wildly better instincts.

Along the way we cover:

• Why future humans might look eerily like the classic alien image

• Real military incidents involving UFOs and nuclear missile shutdowns

• Telepathic downloads, binary codes, and Rendlesham-level weirdness

• Whether we’re all just living in the timeline version of a health inspection

• And if the Greys might just be... us, after 10,000 years of soy protein and internet arguments

We even experiment with AI-generated visual models of what humans could look like in 3,000 and 10,000 years — and yes, it gets creepy fast.

Plus: swamp gas makes a comeback (of course it does), and Dan attempts to prove once again that all the weirdest stuff we laugh at… might actually be the most grounded in science.

This episode is a blend of speculative science, bad behavior, and big questions about time, evolution, and why aliens are so obsessed with nukes.

If you like your alien theories with a side of existential dread and dumb jokes, this one's for you.

Are they here to help us… or stop us from screwing it all up?

In this episode, we’re heading to Phoenix, Arizona, circa March 13, 1997, where thousands of people looked up and saw something they couldn’t explain. Known today as the Phoenix Lights, this is one of the most famous UFO sightings in modern history — and possibly one of the most misexplained.

Dan is convinced this was a mile-wide alien craft cruising silently across the night sky, blocking out the stars, moving slower than a parade float. Rox, however, proposes a much more grounded theory: that the entire city was high on swamp gas. (To be clear, Phoenix is a desert. Logic has already left the building.)

We dive into the timeline of events — from the mysterious V-shaped craft spotted by trained pilots in Prescott, to the hovering lights caught on dozens of home videos over Phoenix. We talk about the sheer size of what witnesses claimed to see, how slowly it moved, and the utter silence that came with it.

Was it a stealth aircraft? Flares dropped by the military? A mass hallucination? Or a visit from something not-of-this-world that nobody has explained, even 25 years later?

As usual, expect:

• Poorly researched but passionately delivered arguments

• Suspicious amounts of confidence in dubious sources

• A couple disagreeing their way through UFO history with love and sarcasm

So grab your tinfoil hats, hold your breath in case it’s methane, and get ready for Uninformational Factoid Observers, Episode 4 — where the lights were real, the explanations weren’t, and someone probably owes Arizona an apology
