Colonel John Alexander commanded Green Berets in Vietnam, briefed the White House, and evaluated the Pentagon's strangest programs. He was the first person to spend the night on Skinwalker Ranch. For 79 years, the strange kept showing up in the middle of his official duties — and he wrote it all down. He brought the files. And the bent forks. This conversation goes places I didn't expect.

As a neurobiologist and pharmacologist, he's built a scientific case that what people encounter on DMT isn't hallucination. It's contact. In this conversation, Gallimore walks through the neuroscience of how DMT hijacks the brain's world-building system, and why that distinction matters enormously. He also shares his recent collaboration with consciousness theorist Don Hoffman — work that produced a mathematical model of the DMT state that Gallimore calls one of the most profound moments of his career. From machine elves to the Barrow Scale, from near-death experiences to the nature of alien intelligence — this one covers ground most conversations never reach. Learn more about your ad choices.

One landed nearby. He sketched it, approached it, and ended up in the hospital. His burns were documented. His weight loss was documented. His radiation-like symptoms baffled more than a dozen doctors, including specialists at the Mayo Clinic. The Royal Canadian Air Force launched an investigation. So did the RCMP. So did the US Air Force. Nobody could explain what happened. The government eventually sealed the file. The same government, fifty years later, minted his story on a coin. It glows in the dark. This is the Falcon Lake Incident — Canada's most documented UFO case, and it's still unsolved. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices | 38m 35s | ||||||

The Basement: Bryce Zabel | Disclosure Day, Dark Skies, and Hollywood UFO Deals Bryce Zabel created five primetime TV series, ran the Emmys, and spent his life writing UFO fiction — until the people behind the curtain came knocking. A postcard at his home. A stranger at his party who'd read scripts that never left the building. A vial of moon gold and an invitation to a cemetery at midnight. Was it disclosure, disinformation, or a game built around him? He's still trying to find out. Welcome to the basement. Learn more about your ad choices.
