Signals from the Deep: Radio Hour

On a summer night in 1955, a rural farming family in Kentucky saw a UFO streak across the sky and disappear behind the trees not far from their farmhouse. Soon after, they were besieged by nearly a dozen short, metallic-skinned, yellow-eyed, goblin-like creatures. They defended their home with firearms, but the bullets had little to no effect on the strange invaders. Several hours and four boxes of ammo later, they ran for the police station for help; little did they know their nightmare was far from over. We’ll cover the night in question, the investigation, and how the family was treated.

For as long as there have been books, there have been rumors of books containing arcane knowledge that have been lost to the ages. When Wilfrid Voynich received a load of books in a sale from the Jesuit Order in 1912, he took a particular interest in one specific text. The book was written in an unknown and seemingly indecipherable language and contained illustrations of plants and constellations that match none known to science. Researching the book, he found that its mysteries went back centuries, with multiple learned people of their eras trying and failing to decode the strange text. Is it the most carefully crafted hoax in history, a medical guide encoded to protect controversial information, or just fanciful gibberish? To this day, it has resisted all modern attempts at decryption. Join us this week, as we examine The Voynich Manuscript!

In October of 1978, Frederick Valentich flew from the mainland of Australia to a nearby island. Along the way, he encountered an aircraft that began following him. He radioed to air traffic control, but they said nothing was supposed to be there. When asked if he could identify the craft, he merely replied, “It’s not an aircraft.” Then his voice cut off, and all that was heard was a metallic scraping noise. No one ever saw him or his plane ever again. We’ll explore who Frederick Valentich was, what happened, and the theories. Join us as we dive deep into The Disappearance of Frederick Valentich!

From 1953 to 1973, the CIA conducted experiments to see if they could break down a human mind and rebuild it to their own liking, though the use of hallucinogenics, sensory deprivation, and torture.
