For lucky number 13, we’re talking about a study from Johns Hopkins where a bunch of religious leaders from across the faith spectrum all tripped on shrooms. We’re also following up on the Buga sphere because HOW COULD WE NOT.

Finally, fantastically, a conversation with Scott and Forrest from Astonishing Legends about the passions and philosophies that drive us all to investigate high strangeness. It’s a good one!

And a quick note — what you’ll hear in the episode is less than half of what we recorded. If you want to hear the whole, unedited conversation, go to godsghostsufos.com

Highlights:

* 33 religious leaders from mainstream faiths (Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists) tripped on shrooms (took moderately high doses of psilocybin in controlled settings

* Buga sphere bafflers: Mexican researchers claim that

* it now weighs five times more than when found, and that

* the sphere generate its own magnetic field and manipulates gravity, and that

* people have gotten sick from touching it, and that

* it killed all the vegetation where it landed

* (?!)

* AI was used to "translate" mysterious etchings on the sphere, producing generic new-age gobbledygook about "consciousness transformation"

* WSJ claims all UFO sightings are military psyops. This is how constant lies erode public trust in traditional institutions.

* Scott and Forrest (Astonishing Legends) share how their work has shifted their perspectives over the span of 300+ episodes

* Scott’s breakthrough moment: an unexplained EVP at the haunted Sallie House
