The UFO That Came for a Cookout
13/03/2026 Duration: 01h07minOn this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle dives into a collection of spine-chilling, one-off encounters that blur the line between the ordinary and the truly inexplicable.We start in the dense woodlands of central Indiana, 1985, where a routine squirrel hunt turns into a nightmare. One man’s tranquil afternoon shatters when he witnesses something immense and ape-like descend from the treetops—a creature so enormous, so unnatural, it leaves him certain he is staring death in the face. This isn’t an isolated sighting; the region has a history of strange, upright figures and encounters that suggest the forest may hold more than just trees and wildlife.From the shadows of the Indiana woods, we move to the sun-scorched deserts of Kelvin, Arizona, where four men searching for turquoise make an encounter stranger than science fiction. A UFO descends silently from the sky, revealing not monsters or aliens, but a family—two men, two women, and three children—dressed in casual clothes, unpacking a barbecue, toys,

Another strange report comes out of rural Arkansas, where a witness describes a large, Bigfoot-like creature sneaking onto her property and stealing chickens in the dead of night.After the break, Kyle explores a far more unsettling corner of folklore and legend—the terrifying side of the world’s little people.Most people imagine these beings as harmless figures from fairy tales: gnomes beneath toadstools, fairies dancing in moonlit glades, pixies darting through the trees like sparks of light.

In this chilling installment, the guys explore multiple eyewitness encounters involving a bizarre, translucent, human-shaped entity often called the “Glimmer Man.” From darkened bedrooms to remote wilderness trails, from quiet apartment balconies to isolated hunting grounds, the descriptions are strikingly consistent. Witnesses report a tall humanoid figure that appears to bend light around itself — shimmering like heat waves rising off hot pavement — moving with impossible speed, agility, and near-total silence.Spanning decades and reported across North America and even parts of Europe, the pattern is hard to ignore. Those who’ve seen it describe a being that is: Completely transparent, yet visibly distorted Cloaked like a ripple

Too Close for Comfort
05/12/2025 Duration: 54minOn this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle is solo in Skelekin Studios and ready to chase the strange. A listener opens the show with a childhood memory from their grandparents home in Oregon, a moment that still feels out of place in the real world. After the break, Kyle turns to the Cash-Landrum incident in Huffman, Texas, where two women and a young boy stumbled onto a blazing, diamond shaped object on a dark road. The heat, the hovering craft, the sudden arrival of unmarked helicopters. The story has never fit neatly into any box. Was it something from another world or a military project the public was never meant to see? Later, an eyewitness in Illinois reports a gargoyle perched in a tree, watching in silence.

In The Shadows
21/11/2025 Duration: 54minOn this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle kicks things off with his undying love for every kind of water you can imagine. Cam is packing up and heading to Kansas for a deer hunt, and the guys talk a bit about that before the break. After the break, Kyle shifts the mood with a set of strange and unsettling Shadow Being encounters. What are these figures, and what do they want? One of the cases comes from Dan J of Barstow, California, who had a frightening run-in with two eerie entities back in early 2011. Those figures match what many in the paranormal world call Shadow People. The Official Shadow People Archives describes them as dark silhouettes that often look human but carry no clear features. Some wear what look like hats or hoods. Some appear solid while others drift like smoke. Some float from the waist up. Others sprint out of sight with visible legs. They slip into corners, walls, closets, behind TVs, or vanish into the night. The only trait they all share is an almost impossibly deep darkness.

When he shines his flashlight upward, he comes face to face with a towering, red-eyed figure — something that’s definitely not human. Then we jump back to August 1975, when three kids in Davenport, Iowa, watched a massive, winged creature shimmer into view before vanishing into the night sky. After the break, Kyle shares a few tales of nature striking back — when animals turn the tables in unexpected ways. All that and more, coming up on Expanded Perspectives.

An Interrupted Journey
15/08/2025 Duration: 01h02minOn this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle flies solo in Skelekin Studios. He kicks things off with exciting news — the long-awaited Glimmer Man book is finished, sent to the editors, and on track for release soon. Then, Kyle revisits one of the most famous UFO encounters in history: the 1961 abduction of Betty and Barney Hill. Driving home late one September night, the couple spotted a strange light in the sky. What began as curiosity quickly spiraled into terror — the object followed them, hovered low, and revealed figures watching from inside. Moments later, the Hills heard an unsettling series of buzzing sounds, and their memories fractured. By the time they reached home, two hours had vanished without explanation. In the days that followed, physical evidence and disturbing dreams deepened the mystery: torn clothing, scuffed shoes, magnetic anomalies on their car, and vivid visions of being taken aboard a craft. Under hypnosis, both Betty and Barney described nearly identical experiences of medical
