  • 576: Operation Eagle Flight: The Escape from Berlin to Bariloche

    576: Operation Eagle Flight: The Escape from Berlin to Bariloche
    Dec 20 2024
    For decades, a piece of his skull sat in a Russian archive - our most decisive proof that the most evil man of the 20th century died in 1945. When scientists finally tested the bone in 2009, they discovered it belonged to a woman under 40. The evidence we trusted for over 60 years was fake.

    Stalin insisted the dictator escaped to Argentina. The FBI conducted their longest manhunt ever looking for him. Recently, researchers found a military submarine deliberately hidden off Argentina's coast. When asked to investigate, authorities said no. They're still saying no.

    The truth remains buried in sealed files across three continents. But the bigger question isn't whether he escaped - it's who helped him. Because if history's greatest monster survived, he didn't do it alone. He was protected by a network that reached from Berlin to the Vatican to Argentina -- to Washington D.C.

  • 575: The Underground Grid: Electricity Linking Four Famous Monsters

    575: The Underground Grid: Electricity Linking Four Famous Monsters
    Nov 23 2024
    In 2015, geologists discovered something peculiar: identical electrical patterns beneath four locations across the globe. These places shared another connection - they were all home to famous cryptid sightings.

    From the Jersey Devil to Mokele-mbembe, these creatures seemed random and unrelated. Until scientists found the underground grid.

    Now research suggests these legendary beasts might be more connected than anyone imagined. What lies beneath these locations, and why are the tunnels expanding toward a central point?

    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.

Fantastic

AJ is an amazing storyteller and has grown a remarkable series. He weaves myths and conspiracy theories in a beautiful tale and then does the research and debunks what he can.

I'm surprised there aren't thousands of reviews. AJ is great, as well as Hecklefish.

Interesting topics, driven narration, excellent merchandise, and plenty of content. I'm putting this at the end for 15 word minimum.
