  The Devil's Deal that Controls Disclosure 14.08.2026 1t 12min

  This week on Dreamland, Whitley Strieber welcomes filmmaker Ron James, creator of Accidental Truth: UFO Revelations and its provocative sequel, Accidental Truth—Next: Beyond UFO Disclosure. Together, they move past the familiar arguments about unexplained objects and secret retrieval programs to confront the deeper questions: Who controls disclosure? What are they afraid to reveal? And could nonhuman intelligence itself be determining how much humanity is permitted to know? Ron describes what he calls the “devil’s deal”—the moment politicians, journalists and researchers accept classified information they cannot share and become part of the secrecy they once promised to expose. He and Whitley also explore alleged exotic materials, the disappearance of evidence, managed whistleblowers, artificial intelligence, consciousness and the possibility that our physical reality is only one level of a far larger system. Most importantly, they ask why experiencers—the people who have actually encountered the phenomenon—remain excluded from the official conversation. Real disclosure will not begin in Congress. It will begin when the experiences of ordinary people can no longer be dismissed.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  When Disclosure Comes, Watch Out--Experiencers Might Become Deep State Targets 07.08.2026 1t 17min

  Disclosure is coming—but what happens when the truth is filtered through institutions that already fear it? Retired government attorney and lifelong experiencer Jim Lough comes to Dreamland with an explosive warning: if political, military, intelligence, or religious authorities define nonhuman intelligence as demonic, experiencers could be branded as collaborators, corrupted witnesses—or even enemies. We are not just in debate right now about whether UFOs are real. We are also in a battle for control of the story...and therefore also for the lives and well-being of the people who have experienced contact. Jim reveals why the government may release only the version of disclosure that protects itself, why society is dangerously unprepared for the implications of telepathy, life after death, abduction, and contact—and why experiencers urgently need legal, religious, and psychological protections. He also recounts extraordinary out-of-body journeys, mysterious interference with his phone and computer, and a terrifying attempt to force his car off a freeway after he spoke publicly about experiencer civil rights. The military does not own contact. Scientists do not own it. The government does not own it. The relationship with the unknown belongs to US, not the goverment—but we will have to fight to own it.

  The Overlooked Key to the Greatest of All Secrets 31.07.2026 1t 2min

  On this episode, monthly guest host James Faulk (host of the Neon Galactic podcast) interviews author Mike Fiorito on creativity, the alien, and inspiration, as well as the evident similarities between music, other sounds, and the deepest layers of reality. They explore the nature of artistic inspiration, drawing parallels to scientific epiphanies and the concept of the daemon. Often, it is reported by both artists and scientists that their best ideas seem to arrive, whole, from another realm or entity. What is that? Is it from within, a higher self, or from without? Fiorito also shares stories from his books, “The Inner Space of Outer Space,” and “UFOSymphonic,” including anomalous experiences involving music and sound, episodes that are often linked to grief or trauma. The conversation then examines how music and sound can act as a bridge to transcendent experiences, with references to synchronicity, vibration, and the role of musicians as modern shamans. The dialogue also emphasizes the co-creative aspect of phenomena and the importance of humility and open-minded inquiry in exploring these mysteries.

  Are We Genetically Altered? A Geneticist Investigates the Starseed Mystery 24.07.2026 1t 10min

  Subscribe to Unknowncountry today! It's summer and we are desperate. PLEASE join us! Click here to explore our inexpensive options. Could the close-encounter experience leave measurable evidence in human DNA? This week on Dreamland, Whitley asks this provocative question of a molecular geneticist who thinks he can find the answer. Dr. Max Rempel, creator of the Starseed Genetics Project is using full-genome sequencing to investigate whether experiencers and families with histories of contact possess unusual genetic patterns—including mutations, insertions or recurring markers that might distinguish them from the general population. Rempel explains why DNA from a mother, father and child provides the strongest test, and how individual genomes can also be compared with human genetic databases and with those of other experiencers. He emphasizes that his work is still in its preliminary stages and that much larger numbers will be needed before meaningful conclusions can be drawn. Then the conversation goes much deeper. Whitley points out that there are experiencers with proof positive in the form of implants, documented injuries and multiple witness encounters. Many of them report things like telepathy, precognition and remote viewing capabilities that came to them with their encounters. So, is the human species being altered, and might ancient DNA reveal earlier interventions in human development? Could humanity itself be approaching the emergence of a new kind of consciousness? Whitley also discusses his own lifelong experiences and asks whether experiencers are being misunderstood—not as dangers, but as potential participants in a transformation we have barely begun to comprehend.

  Deep Contact, Many Generations, Many Witnesses 17.07.2026 1t 22min

  What if contact isn’t an isolated event—but a legacy carried through generations? In this Dreamland episode, Whitley Strieber speaks with Laurie, a close encounter witness whose experiences reach deep into her family’s past—and continue into the present in ways that challenge everything we think we know about contact. Her story begins long before she was born, with a lineage tied to ancient European traditions and a startling encounter in the 1940s, when a golden orb descended from the sky and examined her family before vanishing. From there, the experiences unfold across decades: the famous Kecksburg incident witnessed as a child, mysterious orbs outside her window, a massive hovering craft and missing time, and later, repeated visitations from small beings who appeared in her bedroom over a period of years. But this is more than a series of encounters. It is a life shaped by an unseen presence—one that seems to guide, observe, and at times, take control. Laurie’s account is remarkable not only for its intensity, but for its clarity. There is little fear here—only curiosity, resilience, and a growing sense that these events may be part of something far larger than a single life. Why do some families seem marked for contact across generations? What is the connection between ancient traditions, folklore, and modern encounters? And what happens when memory itself begins to return? Fasten your seatbelts. This is not just a story—it is a journey into the enduring mystery of human contact with the unknown.

  Escaping the Vortex of Fear 03.07.2026 1t 11min

  This week on Dreamland, Whitley welcomes Ronnie Pontiac, writer, scholar of esoteric traditions, and longtime student of the hidden spiritual currents that have shaped human history. Ronnie’s new book, The Unobstructed Way, reopens the astonishing story of Stuart Edward White and Betty Grant White, whose early 20th-century communications with “the invisibles” offered a profound vision of consciousness, immortality, and the afterlife as realities present here and now. Ronnie takes us into the forgotten world of the Betty Books, the Ouija board incident of 1919, the development of Betty’s mediumship, and the idea that awakening is not a heroic struggle but a release from the obstructions created by fear, habit, and the mind itself. He also shares deeply personal stories of his years with Manly P. Hall and of his wife Tamara, whose love, wisdom, and continued presence after death have transformed his understanding of survival and spiritual contact. Together, Whitley and Ronnie explore the “vortex” of fear that traps human life, and the unobstructed consciousness that may be our true home. Get Ronnie and Tamra's book today. Click here.

  The Reddit Wars:/Oak Draíocht on Community, Contact and Coercion 26.06.2026 1t 36min

  On this episode of Dreamland, guest host James Faulk interviews Reddit moderator Oak Draíocht, also known as Conor Sisk, about his long experience of anomalous contact and his downloaded mission to establish a community for experiencers of the phenomenon. Sisk is a founder and principle organizer of the largest online experiencer community, r/experiencers on Reddit. We explore how Sisk first realized the reality of the extent of his relationship with non-human intelligence, and came to understand what was at stake in terms of human evolution and the ongoing awakening of global consciousness. A message first received in childhood has unfolded over the years to deliver Sisk an important message about his role and responsibilities in fostering a supportive environment for those who've come into contact with the phenomenon. We also discuss how experiencers are often pursued and commodified by corporate and governmental powers, and why Reddit has become a hot bed for disinformation.

  From the Nazis to Epstein and Beyond: Peter Levenda Returns to Dreamland 19.06.2026 1t 38min

  Peter Levenda returns to Dreamland for a powerful and unsettling journey into the hidden architecture of history, consciousness, occultism, and the UFO mystery. Where are the hidden threads that connect all this into one great spiderweb, and what is true and what is conspiracy theorist fantasy…if anything? How does Jeffrey Epstein connect to the UFO coverup and who, despite his lack of qualifications, was hired as a math teacher at the Dalton School by headmaster Donald Barr? Barr, the father of William Barr, attorney general under both George H.W. Bush and Donald Trump, also published a science fiction novel called Space Relations, a science fiction novel about a planet ruled by oligarchs who engage in child sex slavery, which anticipates Epstein’s real-life crimes.  Using the analogy of colonial contact and cargo cults, Levenda explores the possibility that humanity itself may be the product of an ancient ontological shock—one that shaped religion, science, civilization, genetics, and our longing to leave the planet. He and Whitley also enter darker territory: Nazi occultism, Operation Paperclip, mind-control research, Jack Parsons, NASA’s military origins, synchronicity, conspiracy culture, and the urgent need to distinguish genuine hidden forces from destructive fantasy. This is Peter Levenda at his most wide-ranging and provocative: a conversation about contact, deception, disclosure, and the strange possibility that the invasion we fear may already be moving through consciousness itself.

  Aliens and the Near Death Experience 12.06.2026 1t 5min

  This week on Dreamland, Whitley Strieber welcomes legendary near-death researcher P.M.H. Atwater for a profound exploration of one of the deepest mysteries of all: the strange connection between near-death experiences, alien contact, the dead, and consciousness itself. Her new book, Aliens and the Near-Death Experience, asks whether these seemingly separate worlds may actually be parts of a single, immense reality. Atwater discusses her own near-death experiences, the voice that directed her life’s work, her research with thousands of experiencers, and the startling cases in which people who had NDEs later encountered otherworldly beings. The conversation ranges from Idaho’s long history of “flying saucers” over its great canyons, to Kenneth Ring’s Omega Project, John Mack’s interest in alien identity, and Atwater’s own astonishing account of an “alien” aspect of herself called Arrakis. At its heart, this is a conversation about what human beings really are, what death may reveal, and whether contact, consciousness, and the afterlife are all doorways into the same vast mystery.

  “What a Dark World has been Created around Our Beautiful Experience.”–Whitley Strieber 05.06.2026 1t 21min

  This week on Dreamland, Whitley Strieber and Lucinda Morrel enter some of the most disturbing territory in the disclosure conversation: the death of Melissa Casias, the disappearance of General William McCasland, and the possibility that people close to hidden knowledge may be facing threats far darker than ridicule or professional ruin. Whitley opens with a chilling comparison to Sippenhaft—the coercive tactic of threatening families developed by the Gestapo—and asks whether modern variants of that pressure could be operating inside rogue, compartmentalized structures connected to secrecy. Lucinda brings the Melissa Casias case into sharp focus, noting the strange details: phones reportedly wiped, personal belongings left behind, and the unsettling possibility that an administrative assistant may have known far more than anyone realized. From there, the conversation widens into the fear, paranoia, and isolation surrounding whistleblowers, witnesses, and experiencers. But this is not only a dark show. It is also a call to action. Whitley and Lucinda discuss the urgent need for an experiencer movement created by experiencers themselves—not controlled by academics, officials, sponsors, or institutions seeking “power over” them. Their goal is sovereignty, dignity, mutual support, and a movement rooted in lived experience rather than exploitation.

  An Incredible New Method of Remote Viewing Created by an Experiencer 29.05.2026 1t 22min

  On this episode of Dreamland, monthly guest host James Faulk interviews lifelong experiencer Birdie Jaworski about her contact with non-human intelligences, her experience learning how to remote view, and her eventual decision to abandon old nomenclature and design her own RV system: Transdimensional Mapping.  Jaworski describes several contact events, starting in childhood and culminating in an eventual relationship with a grey alien she calls “the grey dude,” who ultimately left her with downloaded information that continues to arise, as needed, during the course of her daily life.   Jaworski, also known as Prudence Calabrese, relates the difficulty in performing this type of work, and points to various instances in the past when people took her work too seriously for their own good.  Finally, for subscribers, they explore the worldview her work has led her to embrace, and the process of UFO disclosure. As a confidante of Danny Sheehan, Jaworksi is affiliated with the New Paradigm Institute and has long been an advocate for government transparency. Learn more about your ad choices.

  Close Encounter and the Impossible...or Would that be the Real? 22.05.2026 1t 13min

  This week on Dreamland, Whitley welcomes his dear friend and collaborator Dr. Jeffrey Kripal, Rice University’s J. Newton Rayzor Professor of Religion and creator of the Archives of the Impossible, for a profound discussion of disclosure, consciousness, and the experiencer’s place in the unfolding mystery. Jeff’s new book, How to Think Impossibly, offers a crucial framework for approaching non-human intelligence without reducing it to either conventional science or inherited religion. Together, Whitley and Jeff explore why the testimony of experiencers must not be pushed aside, how imagination can become a disciplined way of knowing, and why the humanities may hold keys that science alone cannot provide. They also discuss the danger that “disclosure,” if handled only by government, military, and scientific authorities, could imprison the experience in third-person documents while ignoring the living first-person reality at its heart. This is a searching, intimate conversation about consciousness beyond the brain, revelation, writing, AI, and the future of human understanding. Learn more about your ad choices.

  The Nazca Mummies and More: Science Faces the Impossible 15.05.2026 1t 28min

  What happens when serious science confronts the impossible—and refuses to look away? Find out in this mindbending show! In this episode of Dreamland, Whitley Strieber is joined by returning guest Steve Aspen and his collaborator, molecular biologist Andreas Luck, co-authors of Investigating the Impossible. Together, they dive into some of the most controversial and compelling anomalies of our time. At the center of the discussion are the enigmatic tridactyl mummies of Nazca—beings that challenge our understanding of biology, evolution, and even reality itself. Are they hoaxes, unknown terrestrial life, or something far stranger—perhaps visitors from another timeline or parallel world? The conversation moves beyond speculation into rigorous analysis: DNA testing, MRI scans, and cellular biology are brought to bear on questions most scientists won’t touch. Along the way, the guests examine the infamous “Curry hair” case, the disputed Reddit biology document, and the deeper question of hybridization—what it is, and whether it may already be part of our world. But this is not a conversation of easy answers. Even here, there is disagreement—about evidence, interpretation, and what it all might mean. And that tension makes this one of the most honest and thought-provoking explorations of the phenomenon you will hear. If wisdom once “found no dwelling place among men,” as the Book of Enoch suggests, perhaps it is because we have not yet learned how to face what we are discovering. Listen closely.

  A Forgotten UFO Event that Actually Changed the World 08.05.2026 1t 11min

  What if the most famous UFO abduction case in American history is only a fragment of a much larger event? In this episode of Dreamland, Whitley Strieber speaks with Dr. Irene Scott about the 1973 Pascagoula UFO incident—and the shocking new evidence that expands it far beyond  the abduction of two men on a fishing pier. Dr. Scott reveals a hidden layer of the case: a massive, unexplained sound heard across hundreds of miles at the exact time of the घटना, multiple witnesses, and a possible connection to advanced nuclear facilities. Even more startling, the Pascagoula site may link forward in time to the USS Nimitz UFO encounter—suggesting a pattern that spans decades. Was this a simple encounter… or part of a coordinated, large-scale event involving technology, intelligence operations, and something that understands time itself? This is not just a UFO story. It may be one of the deepest mysteries ever uncovered. Not a subscriber? You're missing out! To sign up, click here! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  Interdimensional Insight: Ronny Leblanc from "Expedition Bigfoot" on His Unified Theory of Strangeness 01.05.2026 1t 11min

  On this episode, guest host James Faulk from the Neon Galactic podcast interviews Ronny Leblanc from the Travel Channel’s hit show “Expedition Bigfoot,” about his lifetime of experiences, and how he believes cryptids, UFOs, and other anomalies are all manifestations of contact between consensual reality and an as yet unknown but adjacent part of the universe. We discuss aspects of Leblanc’s new book, “Interdimensional: Consciousness, Cryptids, and the Hidden Architecture of Reality,” which draws upon the work of John Keel, Jacques Vallee, and others, to assemble a coherent picture of consciousness and the strange.  Leblanc describes his own journey of discovery, including several encounters with exotic beings and other phenomena, and describes his own sense that the universe has paved the road for him to pursue these subjects. We also examine how these encounters often spur deep spiritual transformations in the witnesses, and what this might mean.  To buy “Interdimensional: Consciousness, Cryptids, and the Hidden Architecture of Reality;” https://a.co/d/0ev5F1oI To visit the Neon Galactic podcast on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@neongalactic Not an Unknowncountry subscriber?

  J.D. Vance Recently Called NHI Demons. Are They? Charles Upton offers a Surprising Theory 24.04.2026 1t 32min

  What if they aren't what they seem? As disclosure--and maybe even open contact--draws closer, what if we don't know what we're dealing with...at all? In this deeply provocative conversation, Charles Upton joins Whitley Strieber to explore a radically different interpretation of the phenomenon: What if the beings behind UFO encounters are not extraterrestrial visitors at all, but something far more strange and dangerous in ways we can hardly imagine? Upton argues that modern “disclosure” may itself be a carefully managed narrative—one designed to conceal a far more unsettling truth involving hidden alliances, occult traditions, and the manipulation of belief. From ancient accounts of materializing entities to the strange convergence of ritual magic and advanced technology, this conversation ventures into territory rarely discussed in public. Is the UFO mystery a technological puzzle—or a spiritual one? And if these entities can manifest physically, influence human affairs, and even shape our understanding of reality… what exactly are we dealing with?
