Probing Ancient Aliens
The History Channel's Ancient Aliens is a divisive show, to say the least, but science (and sci-fi) obsessed nerds, Steve & Joey, are exploring each episode of everyone’s favorite show about Ancient Astronaut Theory with equal parts love and skepticism...as well as the quirky researchers and experts that evangelize it. What has mainstream science debunked about Ancient Aliens in the years since it premiered? And what mysterious aspects of humanity’s origins are still best explained by theorists like Georgios Tsoukalos, Erich von Daniken, and the rest of this passionate crew of explorers?

A tribute to the Magonia Man himself - this is more of a short tribute/documentary to Jacques Vallee, and we think Ancient Aliens is all the better for it. Maybe one of the most worthwhile episodes to watch in the last 5 seasons.

We recap Steve's recent trip to Contact in the Desert 2025! Is the show still worth attending? Will we be back next year? Did he end up almost shitting his pants the second half of the trip - tune in and find out!

We just couldn't stay away from Tsouks, Childress, and Von Daniken n'crew forever! We're checking back in with Ancient Aliens after a couple years off and many changes in our personal lives. How has the show evolved in our time away? How much deeper are the bacon canyons in the brows and cheeks of our funky-haired talking heads? Has anyone gone through a prolapse experience and lived to tell the tale?

We're back after another hiatus, because Joey became a dad 3.5 weeks before he thought he would! But we're here to finish off the season 4 finale and step away from ol' Travis and the team for a few months until Season 5 is available on streaming services. The Skinwalker crew sits down with Brandon in his skyscraper lair to go over the data they've collected all season. Thankfully there's a few tidbits of new info, but this episode...

This episode is chock-full of experimental goodness and actually feels like the culmination of most of the experiments surrounding "the blob" that came before it! Plus: rockets, flamethrowers, and tesla guns...need we say more?

"HUNGRY FOR SKINWALKER RANCH": presented by Probing Ancient Aliens!
It’s all about acoustic portal-opening soundscapes this episode - a welcome change of pace from just shooting rockets into the sky (though there’s still a little of that too!) - especially since they use an indigenous band called Blazing Bear to play ancient traditional tribal music to try and trigger up some UAPs…and maybe a little more than they bargained for. S...

Happy New Year everyone! We hope 2023 was prolapstralicious and 2024 will be even better and wetter! Steve and I played a fun "Would You Rather?" game from a book that may or...

Last week we were jamming stuff in the ground around The Mesa, and this week - what else? - we're shootin' rockets and fireworks into the sky above The Mesa. It's a delicate, precise dance with Travis Taylor as he relies on his tried and true method of blowin' shit up and measuring the weird stuff that happens! This episode though, they just might have found proof that there is a portal at Skinwalker Ranch...

"HUNGRY FOR SKINWALKER RANCH": presented by Probing Ancient Aliens!
This episode asks us to read between the lines…but joke’s on them! We can’t even read! Only write! Regardless, this ep gives us more drilling, more drones, more diggin’, and more bones - everything a Skinwalker Rancher could ask for! Except…more Dragon. There’s too much Dragon in this episode and he’s very cringey to watch and they should stop allowing him to talk...

We're back! We came, we saw, we came again! We hung out with Anthony Peake, we got asked by Dave Foley if we were gay Palm Springs stalkers, we were annoyed by Jeremy Corbell, and much much more. Enjoy!

Steve has been at Anime Expo for over five days and needed a break tonight, so please enjoy this Patreon episode from a few months ago, where we covered the follow ups to our coverage of Terence McKenna's Prague-Gnosis with Ram Dass. These two episodes feature the father of Morphic Resonance, and the father of Near Death Experiences, Rupert Sheldrake and Kenneth Ring, respectively. Enjoy!

"HUNGRY FOR SKINWALKER RANCH": presented by Probing Ancient Aliens!
Father of the term “UAP,” John “Jay” Stratton guest stars on this episode, as he was a former colleague with Travis on the UAP Task Force for two years. Stratton was also a researcher on Robert Bigelow’s staff back in 2009 and had some pretty wild paranormal experiences that he shares with the crew. Travis then uses Jay as bait for a secret experiment, and the res...

Travis and the boys get drillin', and the the drill gets...nothin'? At least, not so far, though there is one weird phenomena happening here with the drill bit that can't be explained. Still, this episode feels like more filler, almost like this season is the Netflix season of Arrested Development, where only a couple of the cast members could be together to shoot scenes at any given time. I'm interested to see where this goes, but...

We suspect that this is a true “filler” episode. The continuity and the editing is weird, and we never actually see any drilling! That being said, Thomas Winterton actually seems sober and awake, and they do have an interesting phenomena occur in the form of a weird flashing purple light. Don’t worry, the skinwalker ranch crew definitely says “purple flash/light” ...

A bit of an aimless episode (literally) as a helicopter can’t seem to maintain control while driving through portal-infused airspace. There are NO ROCKETS - REPEAT: NOOOOO ROCKETS launched in this episode! BUT, the hunky ginger Caleb does drop his balls out of the sky in said whirlybird while crane malfunctions abound as the Fugle’s crew tries to prep the Mesa for...
