  • 586: Weather Weapons & Worse | Tesla's Stolen Tech and the New Arms Race

    586: Weather Weapons & Worse | Tesla's Stolen Tech and the New Arms Race
    Mar 14 2025
    In the Alaskan wilderness stands an array of 180 antennas pointing skyward. The military calls it research, but declassified patents tell a different story.

    What began as Nikola Tesla's dream of free energy for humanity may have become the world's most powerful weapon.

    When Tesla died in 1943, the government seized his research. Decades later, an expensive, top-secret facility appeared in Alaska with technology suspiciously similar to Tesla's designs.

    From weather modification to earthquake triggers and even mind control, Tesla's technology has sparked a new arms race in the sky above us.

    What makes this facility concerning isn't what we know—it's what remains classified.

  • 585: Operation Prato | Alien Vampires of the Amazon

    585: Operation Prato | Alien Vampires of the Amazon
    Mar 5 2025
    In 1977, a remote Brazilian island experienced something unprecedented: systematic attacks on humans by unidentified flying objects. Victims reported glowing ceilings, beams of light, and blood extraction while paralyzed in their beds.

    The Brazilian Air Force responded with Operation Prato (Operation Saucer), documenting hundreds of cases and gathering photographic evidence of unknown craft. Captain Uyrangê Hollanda led the investigation, eventually capturing images of objects hidden within the lights.

    After decades of silence, Hollanda finally revealed what his team discovered, including his own terrifying encounter with the beings behind the attacks. Just weeks after his interview, he was found dead in his apartment.

    The Colares incident remains one of the most well-documented UFO cases in history, raising uncomfortable questions about how governments handle first contact and why some files remain classified.

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.
