American Alchemy: CIA Historian, 'The Nine' & Hidden UFO Networks — 8-min Digest
Update: 2025-11-22
Description
When elite social webs and unexplained phenomena overlap, history looks very different. This 8-minute condensed episode (original 5 hours) of American Alchemy captures Jesse Michels’ deep conversation with Peter Levenda—author of Sinister Forces and Secret Machines—tracing connections from Watergate and CIA figures to seances, postwar secret programs, and early UFO cases. Listeners will learn how recurring people, addresses, and institutions link events from the Maine “Nine” seance to Ruth Paine and Guy Banister, why researchers chase archives on topics like MK‑Ultra, MJ‑12, Roswell, and Horton discs, and how to balance document-driven skepticism with open-mindedness about anomalous phenomena. Jesse Michels and Peter Levenda offer practical research guardrails: follow the paperwork, note synchronicities without surrendering judgment, and keep disciplined curiosity. Keywords: CIA, UFO, Watergate, occult, archives, MK‑Ultra, secret history. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
