Carl Higdon went hunting for elk in the Wyoming mountains and never fired a shot that landed. A stranger stopped him first, and nothing about the rest of that afternoon made sense. Hours later, a search party found him soaking wet and shaking, unable to remember his own name or recognize his wife. His truck sat three miles from where it should have been, stuck in terrain it had no business reaching. A bullet in his pocket had been fired, yet it never left the barrel the normal way. Doctors examined him and found changes in his body they couldn't explain. What happened to Carl Higdon on that mountain still doesn't have a clean answer. Learn more about your ad choices.

  It was a cold October afternoon in 1974. Carl Higdon aimed his rifle at a bull elk and pulled the trigger. The gun didn't kick. The bullet slid out of the barrel, floated about 50 feet, and dropped to the ground. Carl bent down to pick it up. Then a twig snapped behind him. He felt a tingle in the air, like the static before a thunderstorm. He turned around. He was face to face with a creature. It smiled at him. Carl had no idea what it was, but it called itself Ausso.

• 1:37AJ Gentile?

  I've never been someone with a complicated skincare routine. I just wanted products that actually made a difference instead of promising the world. And that's exactly why I use OneSkin. I use their OS01 Face Moisturizer every day and their OS01 Eye Cream around my eyes. The moisturizer keeps my skin feeling hydrated without being greasy, and the eye cream has really helped that delicate skin feel smoother and firmer. What I like most is that OneSkin works differently. Their OS01 peptide was designed by longevity scientists to target what's known as zombie skin cells that contribute to visible signs of aging. So it's not just moisturizing your skin, you're supporting healthier-looking skin as you age. Both products are dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free, and safe for sensitive skin,

• 2:22AJ Gentile?

  and the results are backed by four peer-reviewed clinical studies and more than 10,000 5-star reviews.

  The thing was maybe six foot two with bowed legs and yellow skin. It smiled at Carl, showing a mouthful of square teeth, big, flat, and blocky like two rows of dice. It had no chin and no neck. Its head was right on its shoulders, stiff hair stuck straight up like straw. It had two short antennae growing from its forehead, and it watched Carl through small, deep, hollow eyes. It wore a black coverall jumpsuit with belts across its torso and waist. It didn't have hands. Where one should have been, a thin metal rod extended from its sleeve like a drill. And something floated near the end of it. The creature spoke first.

• 3:33Speaker 01

  How are you?

• 3:35AJ Gentile?

  The words came out scrambled like a vinyl record spinning backward, but Carl understood. He said he was doing pretty good. Carl Higdon wasn't supposed to be in the woods that day. He was a 41-year-old oil rig foreman out of Rawlins, Wyoming. When a crew member called in sick that morning, Carl took the day off, borrowed the company truck, and drove south to hunt elk. On the way in, he stopped to help two stranded men fix their truck. They thanked him by pointing him toward a good hunting spot, deep in the Medicine Bow National Forest. His good deed sent him straight to Ausso. The floating thing near Ausso's drill was a clear cellophane pack, the kind you get gum or cold medicine in. It held four small pills. Ausso asked Carl if he was hungry. He said he was. The pack floated from the drill toward Carl.

• 4:20AJ Gentile?

  Ausso told him each pill would keep him fed for four days. But here's the thing about Carl. He didn't take pills, not vitamins, not even an aspirin for a headache. Carl took one and put it in his mouth without a second thought.

• 4:33Speaker 04

  Yeah, this isn't gonna end well. Let's hope that pill is more pace candy and less Phil Cosby.

• 4:40AJ Gentile?

  Then Ausso asked Carl if he wanted to go with him. If. Carl said, I guess so. This bothered Carl later. Not that a creature from space visited his planet, that he agreed to everything so easily. He didn't know what Ausso wanted to show him, but leaving Earth was the last choice Ausso let him make.

• 5:11AJ Gentile?

  Carl tried to lift his arms. He couldn't. He was strapped to a seat and pinned down. A large helmet weighed his head down. It reminded him of a football helmet, but this one had wires coming out of the top. The chair was inside a large glass box, maybe seven feet long on each side. Carl could see through it. He saw the clearing and his truck, but the elk were gone. Ausso pointed his metal drill at it, and the truck disappeared.

• 5:37Speaker 04

  Oh, repo men have gotten scary good.

• 5:41AJ Gentile?

  Then the box lifted off the ground and started to climb. Slowly at first, then the trees fell away, the ridge, the state. A few seconds later, the Earth was the size of a basketball. Then it was gone, and all that was left was black. And Carl and Ausso weren't alone in the cube. The craft had four seats, and an alien that looked just like Ausso sat in one of them. Carl's rifle was there too, but out of reach. On the wall, Carl saw a control panel and a strange symbol he thought might be a map of the galaxy. Then Carl noticed a mirror mounted above his seat.

• 6:15Speaker 04

  Ah, a mirror on a ceiling, huh? Pretty freaky.

• 6:19AJ Gentile?

  In the

• 6:24AJ Gentile?

  in the reflection behind his seat was the elk he shot at, or tried to. The four elk were there too, caged and frozen, like not moving at all. The ship was too small to hold all of this, but there they were. Ausso told Carl they were going to his home, 163,000 light-years away. Carl couldn't say how long they traveled, but as fast as Earth fell away, a new planet appeared. The planet was barren, almost empty in every direction. When the craft landed, Carl saw a tower. It reminded him of the Space Needle, but this wasn't Seattle.

• 6:58Speaker 04

  Thank God. Can you imagine? Abducted by an alien and he takes you to Seattle? That's like Winnie the Pooh's golden ticket, but for a zoo factory making oatmeal. No? Okay. That's like getting into Hogwarts and the sorting hat puts you in a county. Nothing? Ah, that's like finally hooking up with the cute girl at school and then you see her at the family picnic. These are jokes about disappointment.

• 7:25AJ Gentile?

  I know what it is. On this planet, Carl learned he wasn't the only human ever taken. Five others were already there, and none of them looked surprised.

• 7:48AJ Gentile?

  I've spent a lot of time in crypto, building mining rigs, writing blockchain code and Ethereum contracts.

• 8:53AJ Gentile?

  Carl covered his eyes, or tried to, while tears streamed down his face. The light from the top of the tower burned, and his ears rang with a deep buzz like an electric razor. Aso stayed in the shade. Carl couldn't. So Carl did a very human thing and yelled at the aliens to shut the lights off. One of them answered.

• 9:11Speaker 05

  Your sun burns us too.

• 9:17AJ Gentile?

  So not a lot of sympathy from the aliens. At the base of the tower, Carl saw five figures standing in a circle. They were humans, ordinary people in ordinary clothes. A gray-haired man, a teenage boy, a couple of teenage girls, a younger girl, maybe 10 years old. They chatted with each other like they were killing time. Carl tried to get their attention, but they ignored him. And nobody looked surprised. Aso guided him past them and into the tower. They got into an elevator. When the doors closed, Carl realized there were no buttons. They started moving anyway. When they stopped, the doors opened into a large, empty room. Carl just stood there. He had no idea what he was supposed to do.

• 10:00AJ Gentile?

  A large glass panel emerged from the wall and floated in front of him. Still, Carl waited. Aso moved to the far side of the panel, turned around, and looked at Carl through the glass. Then, nothing. Three minutes passed, then four. Aso didn't say a word. The alien was studying Carl methodically. Clinically, Carl knew that look. It's the look a doctor makes when studying a chart or an X-ray, looking for fractures or a tumor.

• 10:26Speaker 04

  I know that look. I give it in a Chinese buffet. I just stand there, dead-eyed, grinning in a homicidal like Private Pyle.

• 10:32AJ Gentile?

  And that's why we never go to lunch.

• 10:34Speaker 04

  I'm telling you, I got a reputation for odd appetizers. The busboy calls me the Krat Ranguna.

• 10:40AJ Gentile?

  Carl did know what he was gonna get from this creature. Maybe a message for mankind, or some sense of what this all meant. Instead, Carl got a judgment.

• 10:50Speaker 05

  You're not what we want. We'll take you back.

• 10:55AJ Gentile?

  No apology, no explanation, just rejection. Aso walked him back to the ship and handed him his rifle.

• 11:02Speaker 05

  This weapon is primitive, but I'd like to keep it. I...I am not allowed to.

• 11:12AJ Gentile?

  Then Aso pointed his drill arm at Carl's pocket. The pill pack floated out and up, back to Aso. They gave Carl back his gun, but they took back their evidence. Suddenly, the tower, the five humans, and the blinding light were gone. Carl watched it all fall away from inside the ship. Then through the bottom of the ship, a blue light grew out of the darkness. Earth. Carl didn't know how long the journey took, but he was home. Carl floated out of the ship and down into the forest. He never walked, he floated. Aso and his ship were gone. Carl was alone. But he felt strange. Then he realized, he didn't know where he was. He didn't know how he got there. He didn't know his own name. But even though the aliens didn't want him, they took something from him.

• 11:57AJ Gentile?

  And doctors still can't explain how. Central banks around the world have been quietly loading up on physical gold. Not paper gold, the actual metal sitting in vaults. China, Russia, India, Turkey, dozens of others. They're rotating out of dollars and into gold, and some of them aren't exactly advertising it. Here's a number that should get your attention. 20 years ago, the dollar made up 72% of global reserves. Today, it's under 60%, a 30-year low. That's not a rumor, that's IMF data. Now, these aren't countries that hate America. They've just done the math on where the dollar's headed and their positioning accordingly.

• 12:39AJ Gentile?

  And history says, when the biggest holders of dollars start quietly heading for the exits, it's regular savers holding paper who get caught flat-footed.

His first step back on Earth, Carl slipped on a rock. He fell down the hill and landed hard. He thought he dislocated his shoulder, but he wasn't sure. He suddenly had a splitting headache. He still didn't know his name, but something told him to not take any pills for the pain. That much he remembered. Carl wandered between the trees in a daze. Nothing was familiar. He walked right past his truck without recognizing it. He kept going. He walked a mile up the road, then he turned around and came back. He went back to his truck.

• 14:00AJ Gentile?

  He still didn't know it was his, but something made him get inside. He heard a woman's voice crackling on the radio. He picked up the handset and asked for help. Around 6:30 that evening, Carl's boss heard a familiar voice come over the company's CB. He asked Carl for his name and location. Carl couldn't give him either one. I don't know. I'm so cold. Carl said he was sitting in a pickup with a funny stick in the middle. He was describing a stick shift. Carl drove stick his whole life, but he couldn't remember how it worked. The sheriff put together a search party, and six men went into the forest after dark. During the search, they saw strange pulsing lights in the sky. Green, red, and white, moving in formation.

• 14:43AJ Gentile?

  Too high for a helicopter and too low for a plane. They hovered over the forest like they were also searching for something. The search party found Carl at 11:30 that night, soaking wet and shaking. He lived and worked in the area, so the men recognized him. But Carl insisted he didn't know any of them. He didn't recognize his own wife, who joined the search. And when Carl finally spoke, he said only four words. They took my elk. Carl got to the hospital in Rawlins at 2:30 in the morning. His eyes were bloodshot and stinging. He complained about the painful bright lights. He couldn't keep his balance. And through it all, he still had no idea who he was. Doctors examined him and put his X-rays up on the lightboard. Years earlier, Carl had tuberculosis so badly, the scars showed up on every chest X-ray

• 15:28AJ Gentile?

  he ever took. That night, they didn't. The scans were clean. Carl's kidney stones were gone too. He had them for years. They were bothering him earlier that week. But after that night, he never got a kidney stone again. Something healed Carl. The doctors had no idea what could have done it, but they agreed on one thing. Something happened to Carl Higdon. But it wasn't all good news. Carl had no appetite. That worried the doctors. His wife pushed him to eat, but Carl refused. Then Sunday morning, he woke up starving. They tore through his breakfast, then he ate more, and more and more. He ate everything in the house and complained there wasn't enough food. It was the first thing Carl ate since he swallowed Aso's alien food pill. Doctors didn't believe Carl's story of being abducted.

• 16:13AJ Gentile?

  They couldn't find any proof of it in his body. But they found the proof in his pocket.

• 16:52AJ Gentile?

  While Carl was in the hospital, his wife Marjorie went through his hunting clothes. She folded his pants, she hung his wet shirt out to dry. When she picked up his jacket, she realized it was inside out. The sleeves were pulled all the way through. As she straightened the jacket, a bullet fell from the pocket. It had been fired. She was the wife of a hunter, she was no stranger to bullets, and she knew the difference between a bullet that was fired and one that wasn't. But something was wrong about this one. Carl's rifle fired 7mm Magnum bullets. Carl liked to point out that a 7mm Magnum could punch clean through a telephone pole. But the bullet in Carl's jacket was peeled back and turned inside out. The lead core was missing, only the copper jacket was left. The police couldn't explain it, so the bullet went to Dr. Walter Walker, a metallurgy consultant.

• 17:37AJ Gentile?

  Walker said the bullet hit something extremely hard with tremendous force. That means something was in the air 50 feet in front of Carl on that mountain. The bullet went into storage at the University of Wyoming. Then it disappeared. And then there's the truck. The two men Carl helped on the drive-in knew where he was headed. The search party knew where his truck was supposed to be. Parked at the end of a logging road. But it wasn't there. They found it three miles away, sunk to the axles in a mud hole.

• 18:05Speaker 04

  That sounds like one of those southern sayings when someone's in big trouble. "Boy, I messed up so bad that I just sunk to the axles in a mud hole."

• 18:12AJ Gentile?

  You're right, it kinda does.

• 18:13Speaker 04

  They got the best sayings. "I'm so...I'm in so much trouble, I'm crapping hymnals and praying and cursing. It's so hot out, I'm dangling lower than a fat granny's porch swing. I'm so hungover, I'm blicking in Morse code and apologizing the furniture."

• 18:30AJ Gentile?

  This was rugged country. Carl's two-wheel-drive truck had no business going there. The searchers couldn't even drive it out, they had to tow it. And the men who found it all agreed on one thing. That truck didn't get there on its own. But there were no tire tracks, not from the truck, not from anything that could have dragged it there. The truck just appeared in the mud. To the men on that mountain, the bullet and the truck were proof that something happened to Carl. They couldn't say what, but Carl eventually got his answer. Carl Higdon learned exactly why the aliens wanted an undamaged human body, and exactly how they planned to use it. Between writing episodes, editing, and everything in between, I'm lucky to get five hours sleep a night.

• 19:14AJ Gentile?

  But if I'm only getting a little bit of sleep, it needs to actually be good sleep, not tossing and turning, not waking up more tired than when I lay down. So lately, I've been looking into upgrading my mattress, and Brooklyn Bedding is the one that actually caught my attention. And here's why. These aren't some imported beds with a logo slapped on it. Brooklyn Bedding designs and builds the mattresses themselves, in their own factory in Arizona. No middlemen, no gimmicks, just people who know what they're doing. And you can tell the difference. Supportive about being stiff, doesn't sleep hot, doesn't fall apart after a year like other mass-produced mattresses. They've got options for pretty much every kind of sleeper too. Side sleepers, hot sleepers, hard-to-find sizes, plus a 120-night trial if you want to test it out risk-free.

• 20:21AJ Gentile?

  Carl was right about the symbol on the wall of the ship. It was a map of Aso's solar system. Nine planets circling one volatile star.

• 20:30AJ Gentile?

  Aso's planet was harsh and dying. Its sun burned so hot that Aso's kind had to wear special coveralls outside. The oceans used to be full of life, but now nothing could survive in the water. This was a critical part of the food chain that collapsed. There wasn't enough food on their world, so Aso's people went looking for others. They came to Earth, but not to make contact and not to share knowledge. Aso told Carl exactly what it was doing in those woods that afternoon. It was searching for food. Aso was like Carl. He was a hunter.

• 21:02AJ Gentile?

  Carl remembered none of this at first. His memory came back in pieces. And it started when his daughter walked into his hotel room. He knew her face. And then his wife came back to him. Then the broad strokes of the hunting trip. But when Carl reached for what happened on the alien planet, he hit a wall. So Marjorie called Dr. Sprinkle.

• 21:19Speaker 04

  She called the ice cream man?

• 21:21AJ Gentile?

  That was Mr. Frosty.

• 21:23Speaker 04

  Ah, that's right.

• 21:24AJ Gentile?

  Dr. Leo Sprinkle was a psychologist at the University of Wyoming, and he was a hypnotist.

• 21:28Speaker 04

  Dr. Sprinkle's research partner was Dr. Jennings. They had a falling out over regional terminology.

• 21:34AJ Gentile?

  Okay. Eight days after the encounter, Sprinkle drove down to the Higdon home. His family gathered round, and Rick Kenyon, a local art teacher, sat nearby with a sketchpad. Sprinkle swung a pendulum and guided Carl deep into his subconscious. Once Carl was under, some memories came back. As Carl talked, Kenyon drew the creature Carl described. That sketch became the face of this case. Every picture of Aso you've ever seen started in that living room. Every time Sprinkle guided him down, Carl stopped at the same place: the elk. Finally, the wall broke, and his memories rushed back all at once. The elk in the cage, the tower, the other humans, and the thing Aso told him on that barren planet.

• 22:17AJ Gentile?

  Aso hunted animals, collected them, and carried them home to breed them for food. Animals like elk. And animals like Carl.

• 22:25Speaker 04

  Soylent breeders, people!

• 22:28AJ Gentile?

  Right.

• 22:28Speaker 04

  It's a cookbook! Feed me, Seymour!

• 22:31AJ Gentile?

  Are you done?

• 22:32Speaker 04

  There are a lot of quotes about aliens eating people. My favorite is, "In his belly, you will find a new definition of pain and suffering as you are slowly digested over a thousand years." Remember that one?

• 22:44AJ Gentile?

  Return of the Jedi.

• 22:44Speaker 04

  Yeah, that was C. Trippio. He was talking about the sand anus that ate Boba Fett.

• 22:49AJ Gentile?

  Okay, that's enough.

• 22:50Speaker 04

  You know, I wish Boba Fett stayed in that anus.

• 22:53AJ Gentile?

  Yeah, me too. Anyway, the pill Carl swallowed wasn't a kindness. It was feed. The kind you give livestock to keep it healthy in transit. The examination in the tower wasn't a scientific curiosity. It was a meat inspection. Then Carl understood why he'd been rejected. Years earlier, Carl had a vasectomy. You're not good breeding stock if you can't breed. Carl wasn't prime. He wasn't even select. He was worthless.

• 23:21AJ Gentile?

  Carl went into those woods at the top of the food chain. He came out knowing he wasn't at the top anymore. But Carl wasn't the only human on that planet. Five others stood at the base of that tower, and nobody knows what happened to them. As for the rest of us, either we didn't make the cut, or we're still waiting to be examined.

• 24:11AJ Gentile?

  A hunter goes into the woods looking for food. Instead of being an apex predator, the hunter becomes prey. It's a good story, but is it true? Well, in a case like this, most of the evidence is just the witness account. Carl Higdon was an oilman, not a writer or performer. Marjorie wrote a book about the case, but they never really cashed in. He gave interviews for years until his death in 2022. And in all that time, his story never changed. Not the dropping bullet, not Aso's appearance, not the glass cube, the tower, or the exam. In 1978, Charles McQuiston ran recordings of Higdon's voice through a machine he'd co-invented: the Psychological Stress EValuator, a voice stress lie detector used by police departments. McQuiston found no signs of deception.

• 24:54AJ Gentile?

  He stopped short of confirming an alien encounter, but he believes something extraordinary happened to Higdon. But one caveat, and it's a big one: voice stress analysis is shaky science. Later government studies found that these machines catch lies at about the rate of a coin flip. So McQuiston's verdict tells us Carl probably believes his own story, but it can't tell us if the story is true. Now the hard part. The core of Carl's story appeared within days, but many details only came out after Carl met Dr. Sprinkle, after he was hypnotized. And hypnosis is also a problem. Dr. Sprinkle was a real psychologist at a real university, and by every account, he was honest and careful. But hypnosis is unreliable. Under hypnosis, the mind fills gaps.

• 25:37AJ Gentile?

  It borrows, from movies, from dreams, from things you read. A person can come out of hypnosis sure of details that their own brain manufactured. Honesty is not the same as accuracy, and we can't fully separate the two. So the five other people, the examination behind the glass, the idea of breeding us for food, all of it comes from hypnosis, a process that we know garbles and manufactures memories. But there is some actual evidence. Everything Carl said and did before 6:30 that evening happened hours before anyone mentioned hypnosis. The bullet was already in his pocket, the truck was in the mud, and a man who drove stick shift his whole life was already on the radio, unable to name the thing in the middle of his own truck. Whatever scrambled Carl Higdon's brain that night, it wasn't hypnosis.

• 26:22AJ Gentile?

  But there's no second witness to the ship. No one else saw Aso. But the strange lights in the sky that night, the search team really did see those. And they saw them before their own vehicles started moving, so it wasn't headlights. Same with the truck. It really was three miles from where it should have been, in rough, mucky terrain, and it had to be towed out. But some firsthand accounts say it was stuck in deep ruts, not in a bog without tire tracks. Either way, the searchers agree the truck couldn't have got there on its own. The bullet is a sticky piece of evidence, too. It really was inside out, and the lead core really was missing. Dr. Walker said it hit something extremely hard, but he stopped short of calling it anything alien. The hospital evidence is also interesting.

• 27:03AJ Gentile?

  Doctors found no drugs or alcohol in Carl's system, and they said his distress seemed honest. But I couldn't find proof that his kidney stones melted or scars vanished. X-rays can be inexact, especially in the 1970s. It's possible the scars didn't show up on one scan even though they were still there. The trip to the planet, I can't prove. The story Aso told, I can't prove. But something physical happened to Carl Higdon on that mountain, and nobody's ever explained it. The truck, the bullet, the flashing lights, the changed man. There's no simple way to explain any of that. But here's what's unique about Carl's story. Every alien abduction story you've ever heard is underneath a story about being chosen. They picked you. You matter. They wanted you.

  It's terrifying, but there's a strange comfort in being special. Carl's is the only abduction case I know of that's about being rejected. Something came a long way, looked a human being over head to toe, ran a bunch of tests, and decided he wasn't worth keeping, and sent him home like a dented can put back on the shelf. The abduction isn't the scary part. The judgment is. The quiet possibility that we're already on a list somewhere, already accounted for, already graded. So the worst news isn't always that you were taken, it's that you were sent back.

  Thank you so much for hanging out with me today. My name is AJ. That's Heckle Fish.

  If a smiling, yellow guy with a drill for a hand offers you a pill, you say no. Less assorted caramel, then use your judgment.

  This has been the Y Files. If you had fun or learned something, do him a favor: subscribe, comment, like, share. I know I'm a broken record, but that stuff really helps the channel. Like most topics we cover here, today's is recommended by you. Someone sent me that. No, I think Gino did a story hour on this one, and I was fascinated by the sketch. The drill arm, it's just, it's a chicken dinner all day long. Anyway, if you've got a story you want to hear, go to theyfiles.com/tips or send us an email, catch us in chat, you can find us. Now, if you enjoy the stories I tell on the Y Files, check out my other show on the channel called The Basement. That's a conversation show where I chat with the interesting people behind the episodes. Some of them you know, some you don't, but they're all people I find fascinating. We have experts on topics like moon landing, JFK conspiracy, DMT laser code, that was Danny

• 29:19AJ Gentile?

  Gohler, lots of people from the intelligence community, lots of people from the physics community, UFO community, lots of communities. You'll like it. It's random stuff. And if there's someone you'd like to see on the show, let me know. I'm always looking for good guests. Remember, the Y Files is also a podcast, so everything you see here gets posted on Spotify and I guess pretty much everywhere you get your podcasts. But on Spotify, you can see the video, too. What's important is you can take us on the road. I upload at least twice a week: episodes, campfire stories, interviews. It's called the Y Files Operation Podcast. It's available everywhere. Now, if you need more Y Files in your life, check out our 24/7 stream of the Y Files backstage. Over there, we run episodes back to back with some fun content in between. And the live chat is hilarious.

• 30:39AJ Gentile?

  I was just thinking of some of the interactions we've had. They're entertaining. You can show up just for those. Anyway, I think it's the best perk there is. Another great way to support the channel is grab something from the Y Files store.

• 30:50Speaker 04

  Grab a heckleish t-shirt, or one of these festival coffee bars, so you can stick your fist in, or your drill arm, or your little knob, or whatever you're gonna slide in there. I'm gonna reject you. Grab a hoodie, some my face on it, or get one of these adorable squeeze. Ah, look at that, look at that! Get a squeasy stuffed animal heckleish, fuck it, doggy!

• 31:06AJ Gentile?

  But if you're gonna buy merch, become a member on YouTube. YouTube members get 10% off everything in the Y Files store, and it's only $3. So if you're gonna spend $40 on merch, join, become a member. It pays for itself, and then you can just cancel. I think you still get charged, but maybe not. But the point is, I don't care. It's there to save you money, not make you money. All that revenue goes to the team. I don't touch it.

• 31:27Speaker 04

  Yeah, keep that secret on your doorstep, eh? Whatever you got in there, keep it in there.

• 31:31AJ Gentile?

  Those are the plugs, and that's gonna do it. Until next time, be safe, be kind, and know that you are appreciated.

  I played for Libya in Area 51. A secret code inside the Bible said I was. I love my UFOs and paranormal fun as well as music. Songs singing like I should. But then another conspiracy theory becomes the truth, my friends. And it never ends. No, it never ends.

• 32:32Speaker 06

  I fear the crackhead and I got stuck inside Mel's home with MKUltra. I'm being only too aware. Did Stanley Kubrick fake the moon landing alone? On a film set, I would shadow people there. The Rockwell aliens just fought the smiling man, I'm told. And his name was Cold. And I can't believe I'm dancing with the fish. Head to fish on Thursday nights with AJ2. And the weapons are burning all through the night. All I ever wanted was to just hear the truth.

  So the weapons are burning all through the night.

  The Mothman sightings and the solar storms still come. To a god that the secret city underground. Mysterious number stations, planet circle two, Project Stargate. And what the dark watchers found. In a simulation, don't you worry though. The black night satellite it told me so. I can't believe I'm dancing with the fish. Head to fish on Thursday nights with AJ2.
