Are they visitors from other planets, or are they interdimensional beings that have been here the whole time?</p><p><br></p><p>First, we tackle the classic Grays, from their 1960s pop culture debut with Betty and Barney Hill to theories that they might just be future humans who overdid it on the gene editing and lost their reproductive organs. Then, we look at the Nordics: the tall, blonde, benevolent space-Swedes who want us to get rid of our nukes (and might be using Grays to do their dirty work). After that, things get truly wild as we dive into the David Icke-popularized conspiracy of shape-shifting, blood-drinking Reptilians allegedly running global politics and hiding out in underground bases. Finally, we discuss the Mantids, the terrifyingly calm seven-foot-tall praying mantis beings who rule the abduction supervisory boards and can apparently turn invisible at will.</p><p><br></p><p>Join us as we figure out what all these guys' deals are, discuss why future humans would use an eye-needle machine without knocking you out, and explain why a public coffee date is the only acceptable way to meet an extraterrestrial.</p>","author_name":"Laura Anderson & Tom Reynolds"}
