A family fishing trip that erased hours and sparked investigations: this condensed episode unpacks UFO contact, a claimed medical healing, and why scientists and intelligence officers took notice. Original: 2 hours • New: 7 minutes. Host Andrew Gentile sits down with witness Chris Bledsoe to trace the January 2007 Cape Fear River encounter—two fiery orbs, blanked memory, glowing humanoids, choreographed sky orbs, and a tic-tac craft—plus the startling disappearance of his Crohn’s symptoms. Learn how MUFON, NASA engineers, and former CIA figures engaged with the case, why Chris connects the events to mythic images (the Sphinx, Regulus) and consciousness phenomena, and what this might mean for disclosure, national security, and the study of anomalous experiences.
