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

From massive spider-like creatures to shape-shifting predators, Antarctica's mysteries run deeper than anyone imagined. What are they trying to hide at the bottom of the world?

583: Legend of the 13 Crystal Skulls | From Mars to the Maya
Scientists at Hewlett-Packard's crystal lab had tested thousands of specimens, but they'd never seen anything like this. The Mitchell-Hedges crystal skull defied everything they knew about physics and engineering.
According to legend, thirteen crystal skulls contained the complete knowledge of our galaxy. Twelve represented worlds where intelligent life existed, while the thirteenth skull connected them all.
The story spans from ancient Mars to modern-day laboratories, weaving through lost civilizations and CIA psychic programs. As scientists unravel the truth behind these mysterious artifacts, they discover something even more fascinating about the potential of crystal technology.
