  • Awesome Podcast

    Absolutely, love this Podcast! AJ presents the information in a way that makes it interesting and thought provoking. Heckle fish is funny, sometimes annoying and has a pretty good singing voice. Keep them coming!

  • Ads mid sentence

    TONS(!!) of ads and they are mid sentence. Unprofessional and totally disrupts the rhythm. Hire a professional to produce your shows.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Basement: Eric Wargo | The Block Universe, UFO Time Machines, and Precognitive Dreams
Q: Can you give an example of a calendrical resonance or a famous precognitive case discussed?
Calendrical resonance is seen when a dream about an event on a specific date aligns with a real event on that same date years later, such as long-term precognitive dreams about significant historical events and their later occurences, illustrating a durable pattern across time.
The Basement: Eric Wargo | The Block Universe, UFO Time Machines, and Precognitive Dreams
Q: How does the block universe concept affect our understanding of free will?
In the block universe, past, present, and future are fixed, which can challenge traditional notions of free will; however, it also opens space for a view where agency operates within a constrained, interconnected timeline rather than as isolated choice.
The Basement: Eric Wargo | The Block Universe, UFO Time Machines, and Precognitive Dreams
Q: What is precognition, and how does it differ from simply 'seeing the future'?
Precognition is not a perception of a future event but an influence or memory of a future experience that leaks into the present, often through dreams or intuition, and may involve a narrowing of information from a future event that guides current awareness.
UFO Disclosure, Varginha, and the Captured Creature: James Fox
Q: What makes the Varginha case so compelling?
Fox describes the numerous eyewitness accounts, including those of credible professionals like Dr. Italo, along with the intense military interest in the incident as key reasons why it deserves serious attention.
UFO Disclosure, Varginha, and the Captured Creature: James Fox
Q: How have you managed to maintain your credibility and integrity in the UFO community?
James Fox explains he strives to conduct thorough research, only including what he believes to be true in his documentaries and seeking out firsthand witness testimonies.
