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.
Former Counterintelligence Agent Shares WILD Alien Encounters - Richard Doty | ep. 100
AREA52 Podcast (Chris Ramsay)Aug 21, 2026
Former Air Force OSI counterintelligence agent Richard Doty, infamous for the Paul Bennewitz disinformation operation, recounts decades of alleged involvement in UFO crash retrievals, abduction investigations, and deception campaigns against UFO researchers. His central claim is that a female Air Force sergeant at Kirtland AFB was repeatedly and violently abducted by insect-like extraterrestrials, and that a multi-agency surveillance sting captured audio of the beings and thwarted one abduction using a frequency-based technology. Doty also alleges Soviet infiltration of groups like MUFON and APRO, Carthusian monks used to communicate with captive aliens at Area 51, and a time traveler who vanished into a rock crevice near Sedona.

Filmmaker Paul Kimball, nephew of famed ufologist Stanton Friedman, walks through his UFO documentary career, from his intimate portrait of his uncle to films on Majestic 12, the Aztec crash, and the top 10 best UFO cases. He bluntly labels MJ-12 and Aztec as hoaxes, even though he made films about both, and explains why a documentary maker's job differs from a researcher's personal opinion. Along the way he reveals a previously unknown RB-47 encounter during the Cuban Missile Crisis, told to him off-camera by an Air Force officer who said crews were ordered never to speak of such incidents.
Jesse Michels, UAPGerb & Chris Ramsay - Flying Saucer Diner
AREA52 Podcast (Chris Ramsay)Jul 17, 2026
Magician and UFO podcaster Chris Ramsay sits down at a flying saucer-themed diner with Jesse Michels and legacy-program researcher UAPGerb to compare notes on the people who may hold the deepest UFO secrets. Ramsay opens by showing how magicians use card forces and planted information to read people's tells, and argues that intelligence insiders use the same playbook in interviews. The talk then runs through dream guests, alleged Air Force program cover offices, Vatican UFO knowledge, and a claim that a monk with a vow of silence was flown to S4 to communicate telepathically with a non-human being.
