Expanded Perspectives

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys start offtalking about the Large Hadron Collider, a 17-mile superconducting machine designed tosmash protons together at close to the speed of light, went offlineovernight. Engineers investigating the mishap found the charredremains of a furry creature near a gnawed-through power cable.Then, nimble-fingered robots that exactly mimic themovements of a human hand could soon be used tohelp decommission nuclear powerstations. Remote-controlled robots with hand-like manipulatorsare used in many situations that are difficult or dangerous forhumans, such as bomb disposal. Then, a Kansas witness atClearwater recalled a UFO incident from the 60s when she and twofamily members had an encounter with a disc-shaped UFO that shot abeam of light inside their vehicle. Then, the ancient skeletonknown as Kennewick Man is related to modern Native American tribes,the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Wednesday, opening theprocess for returning to a tribe for burial one of the old

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys start out talking about how it's incredible that it escaped notice for so long, but scientists have just discovered a massive, 9,500 square-kilometer reef system at the mouth of the Amazon river. And it’s home to some truly bizarre life forms. Then, Jonathan Bloch at the University of Florida, Gainesville, and his colleagues have been studying 21-million-year-old sediments in Panama that were deposited on the North American side before the isthmus formed. They found seven teeth belonging to a South American monkey. Next, a sighting of a Leprechaun back in 2013 near Detroit is described and a Dogman sighting in Pennsylvania from 1976 is discussed. Finally, Hillary Clinton says that if elected President of the United States, she will look into the UFO phenomenon. After the  break Cam talks about a strange river in Australia and the odd events surrounding it. Thanks for listening to Expanded Perspectives, have a great week! Show Notes: There's a Gigantic Reef S

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys start off by talking about how radioactive boars are running wild and breeding uncontrollably in the northern region of Japan contaminated by the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Then, a new 3D printing technique from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory has allowed researchers to “print” all of the parts of a robot, both solid parts like the body and liquid components such as hydraulic pumps, at the same time. Then, a Netherlands witness at Soesterberg recalled a UFO encounter in the military from 1991 that left him traumatized. Then, back in 1977 Astronomer Jerry Ehman was using the Ohio State University’s Big Ear Radio Telescope to sweep the sky for possible signals from extraterrestrial civilizations. When He found something. While pointing towards a grouping of stars called Chi Sagittarii on 15 August, he received a powerful blast of radio waves that lasted for 72 seconds. He circled it on the readout and wrote: “Wow!” Now researcher A

This week on Expanded Perspectives, we discuss our trip to the 29th annual Ozark Mountain UFO Conference in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, as we do the show live from Cam and Kyle's mobile airship cruising back to the Drone Star State. Joining us on our journey is Micah Hanks of The Gralien Report, as we discuss the unique people we met over the course of the weekend, which included Erich von Daniken, Whitley Streiber, Nick Pope, Richard Dolan, Linda Moulton Howe, and many others. Also in the news, what "really" happened at Easter Island, and has science offered new theories about what led to the demise of it's islanders? We discuss all of this on this special "report from the road" on Expanded Perspectives. Show Notes: What Really Happened on Easter Island?

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the boys bring up a recent Tasmanian Tiger sighting, the second in only a few months near South Gippsland, Australia. Then, a man in Belvedere, Tennessee claims that three people saw a white and hairy bipedal creature. Next, Radar experts are casting doubt on claims that King Tutankhamun's tomb contains hidden, undiscovered chambers — and they're calling for more data to be released. Radar experts not affiliated with the project, and they said they doubt the validity of these claims. Some of these experts noted that the geology of the Valley of the Kings, which contains many natural voids, makes it difficult for radar to distinguish archaeological features from natural ones. Then, a Georgia witness at Cumming recalled a UFO event from 2013 where a black, rectangular-shaped object was seen flying low and blocking out the stars. Finally during the news portion of the show Cam brings up how a new site at Point Rosee, is the second where there is strong evidence of Viking

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys talk about how according to police, a large disc-shaped UFO was stolen from the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico Saturday morning. After missing for several days, it was then found broken into pieces in a ditch on the side of a highway 2 miles outside of town. Although the theft was caught on a surveillance camera, the perpetrators of the crime are still at large. Then, Aaron Rodgers who is the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers had a Close Encounter of the First Kind. Then, a digital design student in New Jersey went viral over the weekend after 3D-printing his very own set of clear, orthodontic aligners - just like the ones that sell for thousands of dollars - all for less than US$60. Then, an Australian Radio hosts spots an unusual canid hybrid. After the break the guys discuss the history of Dogman/Upright walking canines. How long have they been amongst us and has their overall appearance changed over time. Thanks for

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys talk about a possible time slip story. A woman named Debra in Dallas called in to Coast to Coast Am to tell of something that happened to her when she was a young girl. Then, taxi drivers working in towns in north-east Japan that were devastated in the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami are reporting picking up "ghost passengers". Next, new research presented at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society demonstrated how to turn waste tomatoes into watts tomatoes, using a chemical reaction to generate electricity. Then, Mamdouh Eldamaty, the Egyptian antiquities minister, held a press conference in Cairo to announce a tantalizing new piece of evidence:  Radar scans on those walls have revealed not only the presence of hidden chambers, but also unidentified objects that lie within these rooms. These objects, Eldamaty said, seem to be composed of both metal and organic materials. After the break Kyle brings of the unusual Stone Spheres of Costa Rica and

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys talk with Mike Campbell about his new book "Amelia Earhart: The Truth at Last" the second edition. Nearly everything the American public has seen, read and heard in the media for nearly 80 years about the so-called Amelia Earhart mystery is intentionally false or inadvertently misleading. The widely accepted myth that the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan during their ill-fated world-flight attempt in July 1937 is among the greatest aviation mysteries of the 20th century is an abject lie, the result of decades of government propaganda that continues unabated to this day. Amelia Earhart: The Truth at Last dismantles and debunks the popular theories that Amelia Earhart’s Electra crashed and sank off Howland Island on July 2, 1937, or landed at Gardner Island, now Nikumaroro, where the suddenly helpless fliers died of starvation on an island teeming with food sources. The Truth at Last presents many remarkable and enlightening new findings, eyewitne

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys start the show off by talking about how the loss of Louisiana’s coast due to saltwater intrusion, sea level rise and industry is a big problem for the environment and the economy. But it could also change our understanding of the state’s history. In some places, the water is taking with it ancient Native American sites, posing challenges for archaeologists. Then, A UFO investigator looking for evidence of flying saucers inadvertently stumbled across the suspected aircraft in an eight-month-old Google satellite image. If Scott C Waring is correct, the plane had travelled to the Cape of Good Hope, off Cape Town, South Africa. His claim today coincides with the discovery of debris on the east coast of Africa in an area between Mozambique and Madagascar. Then, as scientists step up their search for other life in the universe, two astrophysicists are proposing a way to make sure we don't miss the signal if extraterrestrial observers try to contact us first. Then, s

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys start out talking about a mysterious incident from the 1969 Apollo 10 mission. Declassified in 2008, NASA tapes reveal the three-man crew heard weird "outer space type music"  while orbiting the dark side of the moon. For the entire hour, the astronauts discuss and describe the music, even debating whether to inform NASA command. Then, for decades, robot hand design has tended to favor function over form, drawing from the world of man-made machines rather than intricate biology. Zhe Xu and Emanuel Todorov, from the university’s Department of Computer Science & Engineering, began by laser scanning the hand of an actual human skeleton and using the data to 3D-print artificial bones. Then living tissue will grow over the artificial bones. Next, the talk about how recently an anonymous witness claiming to have seen thousands of files relating to “UFO/ET” projects while working at the Naval Telecommunication Center at NAS Moffett field in the late 80s, says he

On this weeks episode of Expanded Perspectives the boys start off by talking about how according to Massachusetts-based Terrafugia, a full-size unmanned prototype is expected to be ready by 2018. The firm's concept car has fold-out wings with twin electric motors attached to each end. These motors allow the TF-X to move from a vertical to a horizontal position, and will be powered by a 300 horsepower engine. Thrust will be provided by a ducted fan, and the vehicle will have a cruising speed of 200 mph (322 km/h), along with a 500-mile (805 km) flight range. Terrafugia said its aim is to provide 'true door-to-door transportation,' with the vehicle capable of being parked in a home garage like an ordinary car. Then, they bring up how surprising research, revealed for the first time in an exhibition opening next week at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, exposes that many were buried in new and decorated coffins, patched together from pieces of older coffins; some made only a few generations earlier. Then, a f

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys talk about a new documentary on Netflix called "The Nightmare". Then, how birds of prey might actually be spreading wild fires. Witnesses in Australia have seen black kites and brown falcons carrying burning twigs to dry areas, then dropping them, spreading wildfires in the Australian bush. Then, researchers at the University of Zurich and the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland have developed software enabling drones to autonomously detect and follow forest paths. With the new drones, missing persons can be found and rescued quickly in forests and mountain areas. Then, a small group of scientists and conservationists believe they have recreated the quagga, which is distinct from other zebra mainly through the lack of the characteristic black and white stripes on its hindquarters. Over a period of 30 years the Quagga Project has used selective breeding of plains zebra to produce, in the fifth generation, an animal they say is indist

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives Kyle and Cam start off by talking about how Iceland is going to build the first temple to Norse gods in 1,000 years. Worship of the gods in Scandinavia gave way to Christianity around 1,000 years ago but a modern version of Norse paganism has been gaining popularity in Iceland. Then a hidden population of up to 200 lions found in remote Ethiopia. In the savannah of Alatash National Park, which is a remote part of north-west Ethiopia was considered a possible habitat for lions, but it is seldom visited by people. Now an expedition by the University of Oxford’s Conservation Research Unit has discovered that lions are indeed alive and well in the park – a rare extension of their known range. Then, you can now send a "message in a bottle" that will reach the north star in 434 years. A new project will beam people's text-based messages into space at light speed later this year, with the communications predicted to reach Polaris - or the North Star. The messages will be tran

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the boys start off by talking about how researchers have long known that eye contact is an important social signal. Our recognition of its import may even be hardwired. One study found that five-day-old babies prefer looking at faces that make direct eye contact compared with faces that have an averted gaze. Then, they bring up a recent Black Eyed Kid encounter by a hunter, Then, archaeologists working in southern Nevada have found nearly 20 sites used by ancient hunter-gatherers as much as 12,000 years ago. And even though the sites are remote, they weren’t discovered by accident. Scientists expected to find them there. About 160 kilometers [100 miles] northeast of Las Vegas, researchers from the Utah-based firm Logan Simpson discovered 19 separate sites containing a variety of stone points, biface blades, and other artifacts associated with the Paleoarchaic Period, an era ranging from 7,000 to 12,000 years ago. Then, after the break the guys talk about the history of

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys talk about how after a botched repair job of the famed pharaoh’s beard left scratches on his burial mask, Egyptian prosecutors have ordered eight museum workers to a disciplinary court for “gross negligence.” Then, the solar system appears to have a new ninth planet. Recently, two scientists announced evidence that a body nearly the size of Neptune—but as yet unseen—orbits the sun every 15,000 years. During the solar system’s infancy 4.5 billion years ago, they say, the giant planet was knocked out of the planet-forming region near the sun. Slowed down by gas, the planet settled into a distant elliptical orbit, where it still lurks today. Then, Cam talks about how two people claim they saw an ape-like creature in a small wooded area of Northern Ireland. Then after the break, Kyle and Cam bring up some interesting Listener Stories that were graciously sent to Expanded Perspectives. Thanks for listening! If you would like to share your experiences with the guys

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives Cam and Kyle start the show off by bringing up how surgeons used a new technique to attach a thought-controlled robot arm directly to an amputee’s stump, giving him a far greater range of motion with the advanced prosthetic limb. The system, involving an implant inserted into the bone at the end of the residual limb, allows test patient Johnny Matheny to use the arm without the constraining and sometimes uncomfortable harness he previously used when experimenting with the Modular Prosthetic Limb (MPL). Then, some stone tools found on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi predate the arrival of modern humans to the area by more than 60,000 years—but researchers aren’t sure who made them. The perplexing artifacts, announced in Nature magazine, are most likely between 118,000 and 194,000 years old, though some may be even older. The keen-edged flakes of stone were excavated from an ancient river floodplain in southwest Sulawesi, near the present-day village of Talepu. Some ev

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys talk about how a Chinese drone maker Ehang Inc. recently  unveiled what it calls the world's first drone capable of carrying a human passenger. The Guangzhou, China-based company pulled the cloth off the Ehang 184 at the Las Vegas Convention Center during the CES gadget show. In a company video showing it flying, it looks like a small helicopter but with four doubled propellers spinning parallel to the ground like other drones. Then they discuss how a man in North Carolina says he recently encountered a being that resembled a “Neanderthal”. Then they discuss how Tesla’s cars now drive themselves, kinda. After the break, Cam and Kyle talk about the Georgia Guidestones and America's Stonehenge. The Georgia Guidestones is a granite monument erected in 1980 in Elbert County, Georgia, in the United States. A set of 10 guidelines is inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages, and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient la

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys talk about a giant squid, rarely seen outside of deep waters, has been filmed swimming near a pier in central Japan. The 3.7-metre-long squid was spotted swimming under fishing boats at Toyama Bay on Christmas Eve. Next, the Great Barrier Reef will have a robotic protector beginning this winter. The underwater autonomous vehicle is programmed to patrol the massive living structure in search of destructive crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS), which it then kills by lethal injection. Then, they talk about how a 10-year-old child reportedly saw a dinosaur-like bird in New Mirpur City. Finally, they bring up how small-scale Mexican marijuana farmers say the loosening of marijuana laws across the U.S. has increased competition from growers north of the border and could put them out of business. After the break Kyle presents the interesting possible UFO case know as "The Battle of Los Angeles". Thanks for listening to Expanded Perspectives. If you want to help us out, p

On this last episode of 2015 the guys bring up the top ten builds by the Ancients that were exposed during this year. There is no doubt that our ancient ancestors were adept at creating beautiful and masterful structures. The features they managed to construct easily rival some of the most important works built today. Stone circles, architectural structures, petroglyphs, geoglyphs, and fortresses are some of the more elaborate builds that made the news in 2015. Then after the break Cam brings up the interesting case of the Ararat Anomaly. The anomaly is located on the northwest corner of the Western Plateau of Mount Ararat at about 15,500 ft (4,724 m), some 2.2 km (1.4 mi) west of the 16,854 ft (5,137 m) summit, on the edge of what appears from the photographs to be a steep downward slope. On this slope it appears to have a very large man-made object possibly a large ship or UFO buried within the ice. Is this truly Noah's Ark? Or is it an unknown crashed UFO? After the final break the guys get into a brand ne

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys talk about how a newly discovered asteroid the size of a city bus gave Earth a close shave on the morning of December 19, 2015, zipping well within the orbit of the moon. Then, a man in Hamilton County, White Springs, Florida comes forward about a Bigfoot encounter he has back in 1997. After the break the talk about the history of storytelling around Christmas and how the telling of ghost stories/paranormal stories goes back a long way. The guys tell stories of Shadow People, Gargoyles, Aliens, Black Eyed Kids and the Backwards Man! We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas with there families take care and thanks for listening!
