  • Tired of fast-forwarding

    I don’t want to hear about politics unless it relates to the topic. I was fast forwarding but it’s gotten to the point I’m fast forwarding almost half of the show. Do a political podcast if that’s your passion but stick to the topic at hand.

  • Show focus

    Love the show. Been listening for years. I know you have other podcasts for politics and other things so lately I’ve noticed a longer intro of other news and politics so maybe stick more to the primary purpose of this podcast for science and UAP/UFO and less on other topics. Beyond that it’s an awesome show!

The Adena Enigma: Serpent Mound, Curious Tablets, and the Mound Builder Mythos | MHP 03.30.26.
Q: What does archaeology tell us about the Adena, in terms of who they were and how they lived?
The Adena were an early woodland culture in the Ohio River Valley, not a single tribe but a loose affiliation of communities that practiced small-scale agriculture, extensive trade, and ritual-centered site use centered around earthworks and mounds, with distinctive Adena traits such as polished slate pendants and cranial deformation.

Q: What is the significance of McCasland's role as Director of Special Programs in relation to the UFO narrative?

The Disappearance of Maj. Gen. Neil McCasland | MHP 03.17.26.
