In this episode of VISITORS, UFO researcher Craig Oliver unpacks the Magenta Project. A complex web connecting a 1933 UFO retrieval in Mussolini's Italy to the formation of America's modern intelligence apparatus. Craig, working alongside researcher Michael Arementor have constructed an extensive timeline revealing how this pre-WWII incident may have shaped everything from the OSS to the CIA's creation just two months after Roswell. The discussion traces how Italian researcher Roberto Pinotti first documented the Magenta retrieval in the 1990s, later brought to prominence by David Grusch's testimony. Craig explains how Mussolini's son-in-law, Galeazzo Ciano, managed both the recovered craft and intelligence operations while attempting to keep Italy out of WWII. The conversation weaves together threads involving the Vatican's knowledge of anomalous phenomena, the Knights of Malta's intelligence connections, and figures like Vannevar Bush (distantly related to the Bush political family), who controlled radar development—potentially the first technology capable of downing UFOs. Craig argues that understanding this history matters even for non-believers, as it illuminates how America transformed from a nation with minimal intelligence infrastructure before WWII into today's labyrinthine security state. The through-line connects suppressed free energy research by Tesla and Marconi, the rise of oil-dependent power structures, and the deliberate concealment of exotic technology by those who recognized it as a threat to their control—a pattern of obfuscation that began in 1933 and continues today.

What happens when you actually follow your gut and reach out to people doing the work? This week, Kelly finds out this week, sitting down with two thoughtful, genuinely kind humans who are quietly reshaping how we talk about the UFO phenomenon. Roz and Dan discuss why women in these spaces still get push back for, well, existing, how representation matters when we're trying to understand something bigger than ourselves, the surprising overlap between consciousness, spirituality, and close encounters, why indigenous voices are being drowned out by military ones, meditation as a gateway to mediumship, Marian apparitions and what they might actually mean, the miracle of Fatima, why horror movies prove women always have the answers, and a deeply personal encounter story that Dan carries with him.   Also: Tom DeLonge's new book, the Nag Hammadi texts, meditation headbands that measure brain waves, the divine feminine energy showing up everywhere lately, Nancy Drew, and why listening to what makes you uncomfortable might be the key to understanding everything.   WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN http://tobehumanshow.com  -Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-it-means-to-be-human/id1838722392 -YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tobehumanshow -Instagram: @tobehumanshow_ Dan Zetterström -Instagram: @thezignal -X/Twitter: @TheZignal Roz Mugford -Instagram: @rozwelll_   Patreon ⇒     http://patreon.com/frightday      TikTok ⇒     http://tiktok.com/frightdaypodcast     Spotify ⇒  https://open.spotify.com/show/14ioP0z...

  In this episode of VISITORS, Kelly sits down with filmmaker (and long-time friend of the show), Seth Breedlove, fresh off the release of Lost Contact, the latest feature from Small Town Monsters. Known for grounding tales of high strangeness in the rhythms of real American places, Seth has built a one-of-a-kind documentary universe based in the heart of Ohio, that bridges folklore, investigative filmmaking, and genuine empathy for his subjects.

This is a preview of the content you can expect when you support us by joining the Frightday Society at http://thefrightdaysociety.org.  This week we're dusting off a VHS tape from 1996, grainy and unsettling...the kind of footage that makes you question what you're actually seeing. Extraterrestrial or not, what's captured here is some of the most disturbing evidence ever to surface in the UFO community. We're talking about the Jonathan Reed Story, a supposed encounter that begins with a quiet hike in the Mountains and spirals into one of the strangest, most controversial alien contact cases ever recorded. A dead being, a mysterious artifact, soiled pants, government pursuit, and a man whose life would unravel under the weight of his own claim. What do you think? Was Jonathan Reed the victim of an elaborate conspiracy or the architect of one of the great UFO hoaxes of the late 1990s?

This is a preview of the content you can expect when you support us by joining the Frightday Society at http://thefrightdaysociety.org.  This week we tiptoe through some theories swirling online in the wake of the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Should we dig deeper?

In this episode of VISITORS, Kelly sits down with Juergen Hess—aka Hoodoo Tall—fresh off earning his Ph.D. in Metaphysical Sciences, a milestone that formalizes years of disciplined fieldwork around Sedona and the Bradshaw Ranch. Known for blurring the lines between researcher, experiencer, and storyteller, Juergen shares wisdom shaped by a long friendship and mentorship with the late John Lear, as well as first-hand time "working with" Lear on investigations. He also opens a window into his friendship with author Lou Baldin, a singular (and sometimes polarizing) voice whose ideas are resurfacing—and that some in the UFO community, including Richard Dolan, have been highlighting as worth a closer look. What makes Hoodoo stand out isn't just the footage or the archives—it's the way he leads with empathy and kindness, modeling how to ask brave questions without dehumanizing the people behind the stories. That's why Sam and Kelly have been proud to share Hoodoo's work with their girls: as a living example of pursuing your passions with courage, integrity, and curiosity. And if the stars align, we hope to experience Hoodoo's work in person on our next trip to Sedona—right where so much of this high-strangeness begins. If you're new to Hoodoo Tall, this conversation is an ideal entry point; if you've followed him for years, you'll hear fresh context—from Lear's influence to Baldin's thought experiments—framed by a researcher who never forgets that people come first. For more on Hoodoo's recent work and appearances, see his VISITORS episode and recent interviews exploring Bradshaw Ranch phenomena.

This special rebroadcast honors the late Dr. Jeff Meldrum, whose passing marks the loss of one of the most respected voices in the field of anthropology and cryptozoology. Originally recorded after a chance meeting at a remote gas station—a moment that seemed to embody synchronicity or some greater cosmic order—this conversation remains one of Kelly's most meaningful and in-depth interviews. Dr. Meldrum, a Full Professor of Anatomy & Anthropology with a Ph.D. in Anatomical Sciences, devoted his career to the study of human bipedalism and the possibility of a mystery primate known as Bigfoot. His rigorous evaluation of footprint evidence set a high standard for scientific inquiry in a field often clouded with speculation. As Skeptic Brian Dunning once remarked, "The work of responsible scientists like Dr. Meldrum is exactly what true skeptics should be asking the Bigfoot community for, not criticizing him for it." In this conversation, Dr. Meldrum shares thoughtful insights into why physical remains have proven so elusive, the limitations of DNA evidence to date, a detailed analysis of the famous Patterson-Gimlin film, and what paths future research might take to finally address this enduring mystery. His clarity, objectivity, and commitment to science made him one of The Captain's greatest academic heroes—and his voice will be deeply missed.

…in this episode of VISITORS. Friend-of-the-pod Jeremiah Horstman has dedicated himself to exploring the unforgiving lands around Sedona, Arizona. Through relentless field research, he has become one of the foremost experts on the famous Bradshaw Ranch, renowned for its alleged weirdness of every conceivable category. Jeremiah has recently expanded his focus to exposing covert Deep Underground Military Bases, or DUMBs, secreted beneath the red rocks of the Arizona desert, and the machinations of the military-industrial complex that created them. Appearances with Ross Coulthart and on History's Beyond Skinwalker Ranch have introduced this inveterate researcher, historian, explorer, and adventurer to the world. Whether you're into high strangeness, conspiracy, or just stories of wild, beautiful, and lonely places, this episode has you covered.    👉 Contact Jeremiah   Patreon ⇒     http://patreon.com/frightday      TikTok ⇒     http://tiktok.com/frightdaypodcast     Spotify ⇒  https://open.spotify.com/show/14ioP0z...
