We detail the secret plot to kill off UFO researchers who got too close to the truth... We talk Jim Moseley, Frank Edwards, George Adamski, and many other important players in the 1940s to 1960s UFOlogy community and whether their deaths may be more mysterious than originally assumed. All this and more!

It Gets WeirdEpisode 167 - We Forgot the Zoo (Dr. Barry Downing)Hello friends and weirdos, welcome back to It Gets Weird! In this episode, Nile tells Kyle all about a pious man known as Dr. Barry Downing! Dr. Downing is a religious man who has written a number of texts, but he's most famous for his belief that most events in the bible can be explained away...as aliens. Now don't get it twisted, the good Doctor does believe in God and follow the teachings of Christ, but he also happens to believe Ezekiel's Wheel was a UFO and that aliens parted the Red Sea for Moses. How do these...

Ah, wait, says here in our notes it's a town. Turns out some shamans and mystics and chaos scientists got together to conduct some pretty zany experiments, things like transporting a bunch of people to an alternate dimension. Join us on this bizarre inter-dimensional tale!

It Gets WeirdEpisode 149 - Activation Process (Starseed)Hello weirdos and welcome back! On this episode, Nile introduces Kyle to the idea of "starseeds." Is the human race truly descended from extraterrestrials, as Ancient Aliens star Giorgio Tsoukalos posits? Is it more of a spiritual thing? Hard to say, but we now know the process with which we can find out, and that is the Buzzfeed "Are You A Loner?" quiz. This week we'll activate your starseed potential and hopefully give you some giggles while we're at it.

This week, Nile tells Kyle about one of the most infamous exorcism cases of all time: the exorcism of Anneliese Michel. Nile tells Kyle all about the devils inside of poor Anneliese, one of whom may or may not have been Hitler. Yes, the Adolf Hitler. An admittedly upsetting case, we still try to find the funnies in the midst of contemplating demon-possessed violence. Was this a case of true demonic possession, or does the Catholic Church have a lot to answer for?

It Gets WeirdEpisode 128 - The Butterfly Man (Tunguska Event)To end the year right, Kyle came back to illuminate Nile on the Tunguska Event. For the uninitiated, the Tunguska Event was a massive unexplained explosion in Siberia that puts your favorite explosions to shame. Now, when no blast crater could be found, conspiracy theorists came up with all sorts of fun explanations for this massive blast. Science may think they know what happened, but we get to the truth (hint: aliens) as we unpack the Tunguska Event. We also talk more about butterflies than you could possibly imagine.

Will Nile and Kyle be okay?! The answer is probably not, but don't worry...the weird stories will never stop.
