UFOs, UAPs, Demons, Disclosure, & Deception | MTS #09

Aliens and devils and men in black, oh my!

Happy UFO Files Friday, everyone!

There was a palpable buildup on the UFO/UAP issue this week, so Kale Zelden and I got our fancy selves into the studio and recorded our most in-depth episode ever on the topic.

We start with a history of the UFO phenomenon — including the famous Nuremberg UFO incident of 1561 (more on that below) — and then move into the modern era, which begins in the 1930s with the UFO crash in Magenta, Italy, which was (allegedly) recovered by Mussolini’s forces, and then, at the end of the war, retrieved by the American OSS after a “heads-up” phone call from Pope Pius XII.

We talk through key players, government factions at cross purposes, the architecture of keeping secrets, and finally, what led to the moment where today, for the first time in history, the Department of War released the first batch of declassified UFO files under the direction of President Trump.

Kale and I did not know, when we recorded this episode, that this was going to happen. But we had reason to suspect that something was. Because a group of evangelical pastors were called to a strange meeting at an Airbnb in Tennessee back in February to warn them that this was coming, and they all started talking about it this week.

In their minds, this is the coming of the Great Deception. An apocalyptic event that will bring about the coming of the Antichrist.

We go into ALL of it, right here:

True story: I didn’t love that YouTube thumbnail, I was tired from all the editing that went into this episode, and so I asked Grok Imagine to take the thumbnail and make it more fun. I could not have guessed the two options it would give me in a million years. I could NOT stop laughing.

Oh, we were supposed to talk about Nuremberg. OK, well, here’s the story:

On April 14, 1561, in the town of Nuremberg — then a Free Imperial City within the Holy Roman Empire, now a part of Germany — a remarkable event was documented by letter-painter Hanns Glaser.

Known as the "Nuremberg Celestial Event," it's considered by many to be one of the first mass UFO sightings.

For the latest episode of the MTS Podcast, I attempted to imagine, based on Glaser's detailed descriptions, what that event may have looked like. The result is the video below.

But first, so you know what you’re looking at, here is Glaser’s full description of the event:

In the morning of April 14, 1561, at daybreak, between 4 and 5 on the small clock, a dreadful apparition occurred on the sun, and then this was seen in Nuremberg in the city, before the gates and in the country – by many men and women.

At first there appeared in the middle of the sun two blood-red semi-circular arcs, just like the moon in its last quarter.

And in the sun, above and below and on both sides, the color was blood, there stood a round ball of partly dull, partly black ferrous color.

Likewise there stood on both sides and as a torus about the sun such blood-red ones and other balls in large number, about three in a line and four in a square, also some alone.

In between these globes there were visible a few blood-red crosses, between which there were blood-red strips, becoming thicker to the rear and in the front malleable like the rods of reed-grass, which were intermingled, among them two big rods, one on the right, the other to the left, and within the small and big rods there were three, also four and more globes.

These all started to fight among themselves, so that the globes, which were first in the sun, flew out to the ones standing on both sides, thereafter, the globes standing outside the sun, in the small and large rods, flew into the sun.

Besides the globes flew back and forth among themselves and fought vehemently with each other for over an hour.

And when the conflict in and again out of the sun was most intense, they became fatigued to such an extent that they all, as said above, fell from the sun down upon the earth 'as if they all burned' and they then wasted away on the earth with immense smoke.

After all this there was something like a black spear, very long and thick, sighted; the shaft pointed to the east, the point pointed west.

Whatever such signs mean, God alone knows. Although we have seen, shortly one after another, many kinds of signs on the heaven, which are sent to us by the almighty God, to bring us to repentance, we still are, unfortunately, so ungrateful that we despise such high signs and miracles of God. Or we speak of them with ridicule and discard them to the wind, in order that God may send us a frightening punishment on account of our ungratefulness.

After all, the God-fearing will by no means discard these signs, but will take it to heart as a warning of their merciful Father in heaven, will mend their lives and faithfully beg God, that He may avert His wrath, including the well-deserved punishment, on us, so that we may temporarily here and perpetually there, live as his children.

For it, may God grant us his help, Amen.
By Hanns Glaser, letter-painter of Nurnberg.

Without further ado…I think this came out pretty well:
