Trump, UFOs, and the Alien Files

In 2026, the U.S. President announced the release of government alien files - on social media. Where did that go? Guess wars are distracting enough!This episode goes past the headline and into the actual documented record: the USS Nimitz encounter confirmed by radar and classified for 13 years, the Soviet nuclear facility where missiles began launching themselves while UFOs circled overhead, the congressional testimony of a U.S. intelligence official who claimed the government recovered non-human biological matter and said he feared for his safety after going public. We also go ancient to the Nazca lines, the Dogū figurines, the Wandjina, and get brutally honest about what it all says about us, our weapons, and the things we'd rather stay distracted from. Not a conspiracy episode. A critical thinking one. All sources linked below.Unusual Practice drops new episodes weekly.
