Ep 388Up All Night: Luis Elizondo, The Daily Show, and Disclosure- The Truth is Out... Eventually? | 388

E

What do you get when a former intelligence officer, a late-night comedy show, and a whole lot of government secrets walk into a bar? You get this week’s episode of Up All Night! We’re diving into Luis Elizondo’s eye-opening appearance on The Daily Show, where he spilled the beans on the world’s worst-kept secret: aliens. Oh, I'm story - NHIs, aka Non Human Intelligence. But here’s the kicker—turns out Uncle Sam has been keeping this cosmic cat in the bag for so long, they’re now stuck trying to figure out how to un-lie to the public without blowing up the whole charade. Are we finally on the brink of disclosure, or is this just another twist in the never-ending UFO / UAP soap opera? Tune in as we dissect what Elizondo had to say, poke fun at the government's absurd balancing act, and ask the big question: when it comes to aliens, will the truth ever really set us free? Spoiler alert: it's gonna get weird.Special thanks to this week’s research sourcesBooksImminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs | Luis Elizondo VideosLuis Elizondo - “Imminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs” | The Daily Show - https://youtu.be/2OMGOvuJV5M?si=e44jdOXHgIOAMNdC Email us your favorite WEIRD news stories:[email protected] the ShowGet exclusive content & perks as well as an ad and sponsor free experience at https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51 from just $1ShopBe the Best Dressed at your Cult Meeting!https://www.teepublic.com/stores/hysteria51?ref_id=9022Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 387Myths, Mysteries, and Military Secrets: The Enigma of the Rome’s Lost Ninth Legion | 387

E

Strength and honor. Discipline and courage. The Glory of Rome! And none of it mattered for one of said Rome’s most renowned legions. Or so it seems… Reputation became tales, and tales became myths about Legio IX Hispana, Rome’s famed Ninth Legion passed into the category of legend when it mysteriously vanished from the record books around the turn of the 2nd century CE. That was before the black and white color switch for those playing along at home. But how could one of the most fearsome and battle-tested units of the then most powerful empire on earth just up and disappear like a dad going for cigarettes? Theories have run the gamut from mundane to supernatural, with more significant consequences from its disappearance than you might imagine. Grab your gladius and scutum, we’re marching in search of Rome’s Lost 9th Legion this week on Hysteria 51!Special thanks to this week’s research sources: BooksThe Fate of the Ninth: The curious disappearance of one of Rome's legions | Duncan B.

E

This week, we’re diving deep into the murky waters of ancient Sumer to unravel the life and legend of Gilgamesh—part god, part man, and full-time hero. Was this towering king of Uruk just another ruler with delusions of grandeur, or was he really a demigod who battled monsters, befriended wild men, and defied the gods themselves? Join us as we explore his epic quests, including his obsession with immortality, his fateful bromance with Enkidu, and the secrets that may still lie buried beneath the Euphrates. Plus, was Gilgamesh the world’s first superhero—or something even weirder?

Ep 385Ghosts of the Imagination: The Philip Experiment | 385

E

Imagine a group of ordinary people coming together with one extraordinary goal: to create a ghost from scratch. That’s exactly what happened in the early 1970s with the Philip Experiment, a fascinating parapsychological study led by Dr. A.R.G. Owen and the Toronto Society for Psychical Research. The team invented a fictional character, Philip Aylesford, a 17th-century English nobleman with a tragic backstory, and then set out to bring him to life through sheer willpower and collective imagination.What started as a curious experiment in human consciousness quickly escalated into something far more mysterious. The group reported witnessing strange phenomena—tables moving on their own, eerie knocks answering their questions, and even glimpses of a ghostly presence. But was this really the work of a spirit, or just the power of the human mind? Join us this week as we dive deep into the eerie world of the Philip Experiment, where belief and reality collide in the most unexpected ways… on Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources: VideosThe Philip Experiment - https://youtu.be/uhT0-n9OH8M?si=kGPGRv6pcmheHSF9The Quiet Ones - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2235779/WebsitesPhilip Experiment Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_experimentRanker - https://www.ranker.com/list/philip-experiment-paranormal-study/jodi-smithDread Central - https://www.dreadcentral.com/editorials/358897/the-philip-experiment-we-want-ghosts-to-be-real/Live About - https://www.liveabout.com/how-to-create-a-ghost-2594058C.

Ep 374Lost in Translation: The Unsolved Beale Ciphers | 374

E

“I have deposited in the county of Bedford, about four miles from Buford's [Tavern], in an excavation or vault, six feet below the surface of the ground, the following articles, belonging jointly to the parties whose names are given in number three, herewith: The first deposit consisted of ten hundred and fourteen pounds of gold, and thirty-eight hundred and twelve pounds of silver, deposited Nov. eighteen nineteen. The second was made Dec. eighteen twenty-one, and consisted of nineteen hundred and seven pounds of gold, and twelve hundred and eighty-eight of silver; also jewels, obtained in St. Louis in exchange to save transportation, and valued at thirteen thousand dollars. The above is securely packed in iron pots, with iron covers. The vault is roughly lined with stone, and the vessels rest on solid stone, and are covered with others. Paper number one describes the exact locality of the vault, so that no difficulty will be had in finding it.” - Thomas Jefferson Beale, from the second cipher text of the Beale Papers, allegedly written in 1822.Is it time to channel your inner Gus Chiggins and get to hunting for gold?

Ep 373Solway Photoshoot: The Best of H51 | 373

E

We are off this week.... sort of. We have a best of show, but first we dive in to continue or JFK Lose Your Own Adventure Sage. Then, it's back to 1964 to visit Jim and his photo shenanigans once again! Original DescriptionNothing worse than a photobomb. There you are minding your own business, taking a picture of your lovely daughter and next thing you know some idiot time traveler / astronaut / inter-dimensional being drops his/her/its mug into your frame. And while we’ve all been through it, there’s a famous version we’re talking about this week - The Solway Firth Spaceman. Where did the other figure come from? Could this be a real, true documentation of a close encounter? How much is free film for a year actually worth? We dive in deep and see what develops. Plus, Conspiracy Bot actually did research this week (albeit unsuccessfully, but...ya know...baby steps). Brent channels his inner British housewife from the 1960s (it wasn’t a huge leap). And John starts talking about time travel again (we wish it existed so we could go back and stop him). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t do a ton of photo shoots, but when we do they’re in the UK and they involve a spaceman – Hysteria 51.Email us your favorite WEIRD news stories:[email protected] the ShowGet exclusive content & perks as well as an ad and sponsor free experience at https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51 from just $1ShopBe the Best Dressed at your Cult Meeting!https://www.teepublic.com/stores/hysteria51?ref_id=9022Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 370Flying Saucers & Serious Satire: Dissecting John Oliver’s UFO Deep Dive | 370

E

John Oliver and his show Last Week Tonight’s latest foray into the unknown was right in our wheelhouse – UFOs. John tackled this enigmatic world with his trademark wit. This week we dive deep into Oliver’s exploration—from Jimmy Carter's extraterrestrial encounters to the controversial paintings of UFOs in Renaissance art. We'll analyze how Oliver balances humor with hard questions about what's really out there, critiquing his take on government cover-ups, media missteps, and public paranoia. Did he miss crucial evidence? Or did he nail the absurdity of the UFO phenomena by realizing it is not so absurd? Join us for a detailed breakdown of the facts, the laughs, and everything in-between, as we separate the science from the silliness in John Oliver's cosmic comedy. Plus, we talk upcoming episodes AND start our Lose Your Own Adventure! All that and more this week on Hysteria 51!
