Apollo 20: The Secret Mission to the Moon to Salvage an Ancient Alien Spacecraft

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

The Apollo spaceflight program lasted from 1961 to 1972. Apollo 11 was Neil Armstrong's famous first step. Apollo 17 was the last manned mission to the moon. In all, 20 Apollo flights were planned but Apollo 18, 19 and 20 were canceled. But in 2007, a retired astronaut blew the whistle and claimed Apollo 18, 19 and 20 *did* happen. But they were highly classified. He knows this because was the commander of Apollo 20. He said the reason these missions were kept secret is because of what they found on the moon. Well, not just *what* they found -- also *who* they found. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support Learn more about your ad choices.

CIA Classified Book about the End of the World | The True Adam & Eve Story

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

In 1966 a well-known engineer released a book with information that could impact everyone on earth. But before anyone could read it, it was classified by the CIA. We only learned of its existence a few years ago because of a Freedom of Information request. The CIA only released 57 pages of the original 284-page manuscript. And those pages have been, in the CIA's own words, "sanitized". Why does the CIA think this book is so dangerous that they had to hide it from the public for 60 years; and continue to hide most of it? It's because the man who wrote it describes the end of the world. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support Learn more about your ad choices.

The Brooklyn Bridge UFO Abduction | The Weirdest Story You'll Ever Hear

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

Nov 30, 1989, just after 3 AM. New York City. Janet Kimball was driving over the Brooklyn Bridge when her car stalled and slowly rolled to a stop. After a couple of failed attempts to get the car started, Janet was hit by a bright light. Bright enough that she had to shield her eyes. The light was coming from an apartment building. Janet thought maybe someone was shooting a movie. Not unusual in New York City. Then she saw that the light was coming from a saucer-shaped craft hovering *above* the building. OK, it's a science fiction movie, Janet thought. But it wasn't a movie. This was happening for real. As Janet's eyes adjusted to the brightness, she saw something levitating in the light. Objects floating up to the saucer. When she focused, she realized they weren't objects. They were people. Well, one of them was. In an instant, the light went out, and the saucer plunged into the East River. There were 23 eyewitnesses to this event, including one of the highest-ranking politicians in the world. And people being transported to a UFO by a beam of light in the middle of New York City? That isn't the weirdest part of the story. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Shadow People and The Hat Man | Who are they? What do they want?

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

Here's how it happens. You're drifting off to sleep; or maybe you wake up in the middle of the night. You feel a presence in the room. You see something out of the corner of your eye. You try to look but you can't move. You try to call out, but you're unable to make a sound. There's an invisible weight on your chest. Even breathing is difficult. You strain to look and then you see it. The shadow of a person. You can't detect any features but every instinct you have tells you: this is entity is not friendly. You hear a light hum, maybe a rush of air and the dark entity vanishes. You've just encountered a shadow person. This one was pretty benign, but there are some shadow people sightings that are more intense. More real. These encounters can be traumatic and in some cases: violent. I should know. Because it happened to me. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Smithsonian Cover-Up: Ancient Egyptians and Giants in the Grand Canyon

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

In 1908, President Teddy Roosevelt wanted to declare the Grand Canyon off-limits to all timber and mining operations. It would take another 11 years for Congress to designate the Grand Canyon a national park. Sensing a final opportunity for adventure, explorer G.E. Kincaid took a boat down the Colorado River and through the Grand Canyon. The canyon was rich in minerals like gold, silver and copper and Kincaid wanted to see what he could find before the area was closed off for good. About 40 miles up-river from the El Tovar Crystal canyon, Kincaid saw stains in the sediment formation about 2,000 feet up. He tied off the boat and got out to investigate. Kincaid couldn't find a trail, but after a short hike he found something interesting covered in desert brush. Steps. Hundreds of them. Carved in sandstone. Steps that wound their way up to a high shelf on the side of the canyon. He followed the steps until he came across a cavern entrance. An entrance that was clearly man made. Kincaid entered the cavern and turned on his flashlight. On the walls he saw writing. But it wasn't English or Native American writing. It was Ancient Egyptian Heiroglypics. Kincaid lifted his flashlight and saw that the tunnel ran far into the distance. He didn't realize it at the time, but this was only the beginning. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support Learn more about your ad choices.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

In 1988, aerospace designer Brad Sorenson went to Norton Air Force base for the annual air show. The show was the chance for aerospace companies and military contractors to show off new technology to top military and government officials.

He hopped into another group and ended up in a large hangar watching a presentation given by a three-star general. At first it was the typical rundown for various top secret aircraft. Brad figured he was in the right place. He wasn't. The general  signaled to someone and a huge curtain was pulled, revealing three aircraft that nobody was expecting. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support Learn more about your ad choices.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

3-year old Dorothy was playing, then accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. She hit her head and was knocked unconscious. When her parents found her, she wasn't breathing. They called a doctor who rushed over immediately. Dorothy's mother broke down when the doctor said there was nothing he could do. Her little girl was dead. The doctor left and returned an hour later with Dorothy's death certificate and gently discussed arrangements for the little girl's body. But during this conversation, shuffling was heard coming from Dorothy's room. They ran upstairs and there she was, playing in her room like nothing happened. The doctor examined her again. There was no sign of injury. He had no explanation. He said it appeared as if Dorothy had come back from the dead. He didn't realize how right he was. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Project Serpo: The Secret 10-Year Mission to a Planet 40 Million Light Years Away

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

What if you were offered the opportunity to visit another planet? You get to experience the culture of an alien race, explore a new world; see and use technology that's 5,000 years ahead of ours. Would you do it? Before you answer, there are a few catches. You'll be gone for at least ten years. And when you return to Earth, all evidence of your existence will be erased. You have to start a new life, with a new identity; forbidden to tell anyone about what you experienced. Now would you do it? In 1965, 12 astronauts were sent to an alien planet as part of a human-alien exchange program. 13 years later the astronauts returned home. Well, most of them did. The mission commander wrote a 3,000-page report of everything his team experienced. First alien contact, the 40-light-year trip to the alien world, and everything that happened on the planet. This is the true story of Project Serpo. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Spontaneous Human Combustion

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

Here's the nightmare scenario. You stop by your elderly mother's house to check on her. You grab the doorknob. It's hot to the touch. You ring the bell and knock. No answer. You fish out your key and open the door. You call out but there's only silence. The air is warm. There's a sweet, smoky smell. But, nothing looks out of place. Finally, you go into the living room and you see it. In your mom's favorite chair, is a pile of smoldering ash. Completely unrecognizable as human. Just as you convince yourself that this isn't your mother, you see her jewelry in the gray dust. And then the grisly sight of your mother's feet, still in their slippers, on the floor by the ashes. There was a fire. An intense fire. But aside from her chair, nothing is burned. Even stranger, everything in the house is covered with a thin layer of pale yellow grease. Your mother was a victim of spontaneous human combustion. Though rare, it happens more often than you think. According to at least one scientist, it could happen to anybody at any time — even you. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support Learn more about your ad choices.

ALIEN WAR at The Dulce Underground Base | They Mysterious Death of Phil Schneider Everyone's heard of Area 51. The top-secret facility in the Nevada desert. But nobody really knows what happens there. We have only rumors. One rumor is that alien bodies have been recovered from UFO crashes. Those aliens have been autopsied and the subjects of medical experiments for years. But have you ever heard of Dulce Base? Dulce is more secret than Area 51. And more sinister. If Area 51 is the place where humans experiment on aliens; Dulce is the place where aliens experiment on us. #UFOs #Conspiracy #Aliens 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Gino Gentile Jennifer Gentile AJ Gentile Patreon Members THANK YOU MODS: Daniel_Van_Auken jengen13 pratty505 VictoriaY Jschoop Zanythos 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 SOURCES & LINKS Bentwaters-Lakenheath UFO report: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP81R00560R000100010010-0.pdf FBI Mutilations report: https://vault.fbi.gov/Animal%20Mutilation/Animal%20Mutilation%20Part%205%20of%205 Kirtland AFB Sightings: https://www.unexplainable.net/ufo-alien/1980-kirtland-afb-nm-ufo-sightings-foia-documents.php Phil Schneider Preparedness Expo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTTYd6JwQ90 Dulce Base The Truth and Evidence from the Case Files of Gabe Valdez: https://amzn.to/3DylYVb The Airforce UFO Cover Up That Drove a Man INSANE | They're LYING to US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJQ_FsmU19g https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/3930946/oscar-schneider Phil final lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeu3-9DoUnk https://web.archive.org/web/20080723164059/https://exopolitics.org/Dulce-Report.htm Thomas Castello Interview: https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/branton/esp_dulcebook11.htm Castello speaks out: https://www.alienhub.com/threads/a-terminally-ill-thomas-edwin-castello-speaks-out.21550/ Saucers, Spooks and Kooks: UFO Disinformation in the Age of Aquarius: https://amzn.to/3UezW3B John Lear on the UFO Coverup: https://www.sacred-texts.com/ufo/coverup.htm --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Every Event is Secretly Encoded in the Bible even YOUR Birthday (and the Apocalypse)

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

In September 1994, Yitzak Rabin, Prime Minister of Israel received an ominous message. It was a warning that his life was in danger. The sender of the message said this information was secretly encoded -- in the Bible. Rabin ignored the warning. A year later, the Prime Minister was assassinated. The code hidden within the Bible not only predicted Rabin's assassination, but also predicted the date, and even the name of the killer. Secretly encoded in the Bible, written thousands of years ago, are predictions of every major world event. Including terrifying events yet to come. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

83: Alien Probe, Sentient Machine, Nuclear Weapon, or Junk? What is the Betz Mystery Sphere?

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

In the Spring of 1974, a large brush fire swept across the property owned by Antoine and Gerri Betz. While assessing the damage, they noticed something very out of place. Lying in the smoldering grass, was a highly polished, metal sphere. This became known as the Betz sphere or the Betz orb. Terry Betz, Antoine and Jerri's 21-year-old son, went to pick up  the sphere. Although it was only 8-inches in diameter, it was extremely heavy. Then the Betz family did something with the sphere that would change their lives forever. Something that the family would come to regret. They brought it home. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Michigan Dogmen, The Beast of Bray Road and True Stories of Werewolves

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

The story always starts the same way. On the side of the road, in a backyard, or in a parking lot; a large dog hovers over a dead animal, quietly eating. As you approach, the dog looks up. Its eyes shining in the dark. As you move closer, the dog stands up on its hind legs. It's well over 7 feet tall. It has the body of a man but the head of a dog or a wolf. Some call them werewolves. Others call them dogmen. Whatever they are, they've been terrifying people for hundreds of years. In the past, it's been easy to dismiss these sightings as mistakes or superstitions. But these creatures are not so easy to dismiss anymore. Because now -- we have pictures. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

TESLA KNEW The Secret of the Great Pyramid: Unlimited Free Energy to Power The World

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

Nikola Tesla believed that he could harness the energy from inside the earth and transmit that power *wirelessly* around the world. His early experiments were successful. But his research mysteriously vanished after his death. There is no evidence left of Tesla's wireless power technology. Or is there? For years we were taught that the Great Pyramid of Giza was a tomb for a king. It wasn't. It had a different purpose. Tesla didn't invent wireless power. It's been here for 5,000 years. And probably a lot longer than that. Let's find out why. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support Learn more about your ad choices.

The CIA Assassination of Frank Olson | The Murder that Exposed MK-ULTRA

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

November 28th, 1953. New York City. At 2:30 AM the body hit the sidewalk. A few seconds later, a shower of glass. The doorman of the Statler Hotel yelled to the lobby that there was a jumper. The night manager rushed out and saw him. A man, about 40 years old, lying on the pavement. He was on his back, wearing only his underwear and blood started to pool around him. 13 stories up, a single window was open; its curtain flapping through broken glass. The night manager knelt beside the man, whose eyes were open and was somehow still alive. He desperately tried to speak but was choking on blood and couldn't be understood. After a minute or two of trying to communicate, the man took a final deep breath and was gone. Nobody knows for sure what he was trying to say before he died. But one thing is for certain, it was something about the CIA. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support Learn more about your ad choices.
