Hey, to Livendai in LA listeners. It's

0:02

Neil Strauss. It's been a while since you've heard from

0:04

me and I've been deep undercover at

0:06

a new podcast that I cannot wait to share

0:08

with you. In the meantime, I want

0:11

to tell you about a new podcast from Tender Foot

0:13

TV. Just last month,

0:15

the military shut down three UFOs

0:17

and we still don't know what they are.

0:20

So what's going on? High

0:22

Strange is a new investigative podcast

0:24

that searches for that answer. Maybe

0:27

you're skeptical about aliens, but

0:29

you have to admit you're probably a little bit curious.

0:32

High Strange is hosted by Payne Lindsay

0:34

from up and vanished. I smile when I

0:36

say his name because he is such a great

0:38

guy and a prolific podcaster, an

0:40

incredible investigative researcher and

0:43

storyteller like none other. It

0:45

takes a fair and unbiased

0:47

approach to the subject, digging into

0:49

the most famous unexplained events of our

0:51

time. With exclusive audio

0:53

tape and interviews with the real people who

0:55

experience them. What he uncovers

0:58

is both thought provoking and sometimes

1:00

terrifying. So if you're

1:03

up for looking for your next high quality

1:05

podcast, this is it. Check

1:08

out this clip.

1:14

Hey. What's up there? Hey. Nice

1:16

to meet you. How are you doing? Hey. Good.

1:19

Do you mind if I toss this mic on you?

1:26

Could you just stay your name? I'm

1:29

Travis Walton.

1:32

Today is January

1:35

twenty ninth.

1:37

That was a bit now.

1:41

Forty five years. Twenty

1:45

five years and three months. But

1:50

some things don't change, you know. There's

1:53

no.

1:55

Some things about it haven't gotten

1:57

any easier at all. I

2:01

wish that this had never happened. It's

2:05

not been a good thing for

2:07

my life, for my

2:09

family. In some ways, they

2:11

they don't even see the real me, you know.

2:21

This morning, I woke up, had

2:24

breakfast, and some coffee,

2:27

showers that went

2:29

to my office. I

2:32

had a few Zoom calls, a quick

2:34

lunch. Did some scrolling on TikTok

2:36

and Instagram, sent a

2:38

few emails, and some

2:40

more emails. First

2:43

show out of the day, left

2:45

my office, went to my local

2:47

neighborhood bar, I

2:49

love a good gym martini. A

2:52

phone call, another email,

2:55

another email. Time

2:57

to eat dinner and go to sleep.

3:02

Okay. I think you get

3:03

it. We all have a version

3:05

of this. routine, a

3:08

pattern, our habits, whatever

3:10

it is. We all have shit

3:12

to do, more than enough to worry about.

3:15

Jobs, relationships, politics,

3:17

religion, COVID, whatever the next

3:19

version of COVID is, an endless

3:21

amount of things to keep our minds busy. Life

3:25

can feel like a hamster wheel. Doing

3:28

the things we know until we get too tired

3:30

and fall asleep. That

3:32

sounded depressing. My point is it's

3:34

almost by default that we as humans

3:37

remain focused on what's right in front of us.

3:40

And for the most part, we have to.

3:44

But if you ever just stop, stop

3:50

and step outside, and just

3:52

look at the sky. Sometimes

3:56

all the things in our daily lives suddenly

3:59

feel incredibly small,

4:02

and maybe that's good thing. The

4:04

earth is a very small

4:07

stage. In a vast

4:09

cosmic arena. Our

4:12

planet is a lonely speck

4:15

in the great enveloping cosmic

4:18

arc, the pale blue dot.

4:21

This is the voice of the late Carl Sagan.

4:23

Renowned astronomer and astrophysicist, famously

4:26

described the Earth as a pale blue dot.

4:29

He put our tiny existence into perspective,

4:32

Arply explaining not only our responsibility

4:34

to each other, but also to our planet.

4:38

Considering in that dut, That's

4:40

here. That's home. That's

4:42

us. Everyone you love,

4:44

everyone you

4:45

know, everyone you ever heard

4:47

of. Like it or not,

4:49

for the moment, the earth is where

4:51

we make our stand. To

4:53

me, it underscores our responsibility

4:56

to deal more cleanly with one another

4:58

and to preserve and cherish

5:01

the pale blue

5:01

dot, the only home

5:03

we've ever known. My

5:07

name is Payne Lindsay. And for the last

5:10

five years or so, I've spent my career

5:12

making true crime podcasts and investigating

5:14

coal cases. Ever

5:16

since I was a kid, gazing up at the stars

5:18

was something I loved to do, wondering

5:21

what else could be out there, or if there was

5:23

anything at all? Well,

5:25

scientifically speaking, the likelihood

5:27

of intelligent life existing somewhere else in

5:29

the universe at this point is

5:31

almost certain Space

5:34

is literally so big that it makes

5:36

our numeric system look stupid trying to explain

5:38

it. Example, We live

5:40

in the Milky Way, Venus, Earth,

5:42

Mars, near the rest. There

5:44

are over one hundred billion more planets

5:47

in the same galaxy. And

5:49

beyond the Milky Way, it's believed that

5:51

there are likely ten trillion more

5:53

galaxies, so doing the math.

5:57

That brings us to a whopping one septillion

6:00

number of planets in the universe. That's

6:02

a one with twenty four zeros after it.

6:05

What are the odds we're just so damn lucky?

6:09

One in reptilian, I guess. But

6:12

even if science supports the idea of extraterrestrial

6:15

life, We here on Earth have

6:17

an incredibly hard time grappling with it.

6:19

Hoaxes

6:20

pseudoscience, attention seeking people,

6:22

It's all clearly muddied the waters.

6:25

And I get it. Little green men are

6:27

fun. They look cool in a t shirt or a mug

6:29

from a gift shop.

6:31

But what's the real deal here?

6:38

Very quietly over the last few years,

6:41

the conversation surrounding UFOs has

6:43

started to slowly shift Navy

6:46

pilots have come forward with video evidence.

6:51

Aircraft maneuvering in ways that defy our current

6:53

understanding of the laws of

6:54

physics. Congress is meeting about

6:56

it. Holding

6:56

its first hearing on you.

6:57

NASA has joined the search.

6:58

Oh, it's NASA's. If

6:59

there's ever been a time to look at this subject a little

7:01

more serious sleep. It's probably

7:04

right now. UFO's

7:07

on radar harassing a US

7:09

Navy warship off the California This

7:12

Navy video showing the pilot's reaction

7:15

to the strange aerial encounter, what

7:17

pilots described as aircraft that

7:19

flew in a manner that defied physics.

7:21

It's a rotated. So literally, my

7:24

god. There's a whole fleet of a look on

7:26

the essay. UA

7:29

peas or unexplained aerial

7:31

phenomena. That's what the military calls

7:33

them. Physical evidence

7:35

of off world vehicles not

7:37

made on this earth. No wings,

7:40

rotors, or detectable exhaust, unable

7:42

to track where they came from or where

7:45

they disappeared

7:45

too. We have multiple departments right

7:47

now that I'm fighting on it. Oh my god.

7:50

I go back a plane.

7:51

Oh, Jesus. Right. Please be a plane. Oh, please.

7:53

Why don't we just I ain't ready for this shit? From
