from 10 Minute Mystery | Bingeable Mysteries · host Joe
The Extraterrestrial at Papoose LakeIn 1986, microbiologist Dan Burisch was recruited by Naval Intelligence and brought into a classified program at Area 51's S-4 facility. His assignment was Project Aquarius, where he worked directly with an extraterrestrial being known as J-Rod who had survived a 1953 UFO crash in Kingman, Arizona. For years, Burisch studied J-Rod's deteriorating health, taking tissue samples inside a sealed containment sphere while the being communicated in perfect English. In this episode, we explore Burisch's background, his recruitment into Majestic 12, and the circumstances surrounding his relationship with J-Rod. Then you'll hear extended audio from Burisch's own interview describing what it was like to work face-to-face with something that defied explanation. Whether you believe his account or not, the details are specific, unsettling, and unlike anything else in UFO disclosure history.Thanks for listening to 10 Minute Mystery.
