  • 574: Project Redsun: NASA's Secret Manned Missions to Mars

    574: Project Redsun: NASA's Secret Manned Missions to Mars
    Nov 2 2024
    In 1973, while the world watched the Apollo missions end, something extraordinary happened in the Amazon jungle. A rocket carried humanity's most advanced spacecraft toward Mars, crewed by familiar names: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Ilyushin.

    Project Redsun united Cold War enemies to pursue a singular goal - establishing a human presence on Mars. The mission succeeded, but the crew discovered something that changed everything.

    Decades later, whistleblowers emerged with photographs, documents, and footage that paint an astonishing picture of space exploration's hidden history.

  • 573: Symbols of Power: Deciphering the Language of the Secret Elite

    573: Symbols of Power: Deciphering the Language of the Secret Elite
    Oct 28 2024
    How closely have you looked at the one-dollar bill? You've seen that unfinished pyramid and mysterious eye thousands of times, but have you ever wondered why they're there?

    These symbols connect to an intricate web of signs that stretches from ancient Egypt through medieval secret societies to today's corridors of power. These aren't meaningless decorations; they are tools of influence and control.

    From the owl hidden in plain sight to corporate logos to architectural designs, these markers tell a story. They speak directly to your subconscious, shaping your thoughts and behavior without you realizing it. Influencing you to accept their secret plan.

    But the plan isn't very secret -- when you know how to read the signs.

  • 572: COMPILATION: The Science of Ghosts and Ghost Hunting

    572: COMPILATION: The Science of Ghosts and Ghost Hunting
    Oct 18 2024
    A driver sees a strange light floating above an empty road at night. At the same time, a researcher works on a machine to contact the dead.

    These events might seem unrelated, but they're part of humanity's long-standing interest in the supernatural. People have always been curious about ghosts, unexplained phenomena, and the possibility of life after death.

    Even famous inventors like Tesla and Edison were interested in the paranormal. Their competition went beyond just creating new technologies - they also tried to build devices to communicate with spirits.

    Throughout history, people have reported seeing shadow figures during sleep and mysterious lights in the sky. These experiences push the boundaries of what we understand about the world.

    Scientists continue to study these phenomena, trying to find explanations. As we learn more about our past, we discover how closely linked science and the supernatural have always been.

why have we never heard about this one before?

astonishing that it took wife files to bring this to our attention. even if the story is clunky as AJ suggests it could have been rewritten and made into a better movie than Apollo 11 with Tom Hanks in my humble opinion. tremendous work AJ and team thank you.
