Child Like Aliens FOUND inside a Crashed UFO

AREA52 Podcast (Chris Ramsay)Oct 20, 2026

Researchers Scott and Suzanne Ramsey join Chris Ramsay to lay out 34 years of investigation into the alleged March 25, 1948 crash of an intact, 100-foot flying saucer on a mesa near Aztec, New Mexico, where 16 small, childlike bodies were reportedly recovered. They present witness testimony, a buried concrete slab they say was used to winch out the craft, oddly planted rows of trees, and heavily redacted FBI files. They also argue that the famous 'hoax' debunking by J.P. Cahn was a deliberate smear campaign, and they reveal a mysterious blue metallic sphere found at the crash site.

Jay Stratton Steps Out of the Shadows

Need to Know (Coulthart/Zabel)Oct 19, 2026

Richard Dolan and Bryce Zabel review Jay Stratton's new book Out of the Shadows, which Dolan calls the most valuable insider account of the modern UFO disclosure effort. Stratton describes a 2009 briefing by Lockheed's Jim Ryder alleging CIA control of a crash retrieval legacy program, a real Roswell crash with non-human bodies, and 12 alien craft held by Lockheed, along with a failed attempt to transfer one bell-shaped craft to Bigelow's team. The hosts also weigh Stratton's accounts of intentional orbs and the Skinwalker Ranch hitchhiker effect harassing his family, and frame the whole saga as a factional war inside the Pentagon and intelligence community.
