Starting point is 00:00:00 Last time on This Paranormal Life! An email came through the network, written by someone claiming to be a retired senior official in the Defense Intelligence Agency. Roswell occurred, but not like the storybooks tell. There were two crash sites. What about this recovered entity, the EBE-1? EBE-1. And EBE-1 is like, i don't know how i got here is it cool if i crash here tonight listen up you little alien bastards 12 a.m here the desert you me peacetime from 56 000 we screened down to 12.
Starting point is 00:00:46 These were the best of the best. Do they have a cool name? Let's call them the Galactic 12. That sounds badass. Okay. Hey, welcome back to This Paranormal Life. This is a podcast where every week we dissect a different paranormal tale, case, or claim, and get to the bottom of whether it is truly paranormal or not, you are listening to
Starting point is 00:01:05 part two of a two-part series on Project Serpo. Wow! So if you like your stories to make sense, please go back and listen to last week's episode. As always, you're joined by myself, Kit Greer, this guy, Roy Farris. How are you doing today, Roy? Howdy, howdy, everyone out there. I'm doing fantastic yeah and i personally have been vibrating with excitement all week at the thought of finding out what's gonna happen to the motherfucking galactic 12 baby i am so excited i think we should make actual like our next round of merch should be like galactic 12 nasa style crew jackets got it so cool i mean really pull out all the stops no no expenses spared here yeah and i'm thinking you know that's going to be a real high tier on the patreon because
Starting point is 00:01:52 it can only be 12 and we're two of those that's a really really only 10 so we're talking maybe 10 20 000 for one of these things yeah of course20,000. We're talking today about the Galactic 12. You'll remember from last week we learned through email from a group of ex-DIA agents called Anonymous that not only was there another crashed UFO at Roswell, but that a live alien was recovered. Taught scientists to communicate with his home planet in the Zeta Reticuli star system and coordinated an exchange of human astronauts and ebons from planet serpo i actually uh i actually forgot about a lot of that other stuff all i really remembered was the guy gosling in a jacket which is honestly just drive at that point like this whole week i've been so excited i've just been like yeah galactic 12 and i forgot about the
Starting point is 00:02:40 the ebons did you say we should just watch blade runner after this we really should have the galactic one as i call it we left off just as our 12 galactic explorers were boarding the even craft to leave earth we talked a little bit before about how these guys were the best of the best the creme de la creme the peng de laang but what did they actually go through to get here i'm gonna go ahead and assume one guy was the dude who assassinated bin laden like one dude was like invented the gun i'm pretty sure one of them is chris kyle one is probably like a reanimated version of george washington like the original patriot maybe some of the others are just you know like elite athletes with freak dna we're talking like kobe bryant yeah is probably in there like his son's dna mixed with that of a tiger put into a human body like they got it gets really weird
Starting point is 00:03:38 towards the end because they were like oh we've only actually got a few real american heroes when you just start crafting them captain america style and then all the ones that you know where they botched and it kind of came out wrong they're part of the um earthbound six like the ones that didn't make it that kind of became disasters and just are in a bunker somewhere now no no you guys get an even better job of staying here on earth and if anything goes wrong here we'll call you first question why is our uniform a burlap sack because you need to get the out of here you homeless bastard kicks him out the front door of area 51 it's like what where do we go they're like uh guys looking in the window did you see like the galactic 12 like partying champagne glasses having the best keg stands a
Starting point is 00:04:26 space juice having the best time ever vomiting everywhere it's like you guys need to get your stomachs used to space juice yeah are you guys still in there no here's like oh there it is oh there it is a party scene absolutely raging inside. One of the colonels comes to the door, trying to hold it together even though he's drunk. I actually, you know, I understand this is difficult for you guys. Yo, is that the pizzas? Just a second, Christopher. No, sorry, I know this is a difficult time for you guys. Just a second, Ronald. It's Ronald Reagan.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Anonymous said about the Galactic 12. They went through very difficult training for six months, mostly at Camp Perry, Virginia. Each team member had to endure extreme psychological and physical training. In one training test, each team member was locked inside
Starting point is 00:05:17 a five foot by seven foot box and buried seven feet underground for five days with just food and water. No contact with anyone else in total darkness. Oh my god. Buried alive is what we're talking about here. That's horrible. Four of the team members who were pilots were taught to fly an even craft back to Earth in case it was necessary to escape from planet Serpo. I'm sure many of the UFO sightings back in 64 and 65 around the West
Starting point is 00:05:45 could be attributed to these test flights by the galactic quo. Wow, that's super interesting. It's a cool idea, right? Yeah. You know, people always say it could be like research, military tests, those things could be genuine UFOs, but it could actually be a UFO
Starting point is 00:06:01 recovered craft being tested by the military. That's super interesting. Yeah, I've never heard of that explanation before. Each team member also took a pill with them. The pill was standard issue for intelligence agents operating behind enemy lines. The pill could end their life if, for some reason, the Ebons turned out to be hostile. The old cyanide tooth. Selected team members even carried containers of liquid nitrogen. The Ebons were vulnerable to extreme cold, so if the Ebons turned hostile, the liquid
Starting point is 00:06:32 nitrogen could be used to neutralize them. Other members of the Galactic Twelve were given knives as the Ebons were allergic to being stabbed in the face and balls. Several had guns, for bullets were truly the Achilles heel of these majestic bastards. It sounds like they can just die like humans. Regular humans. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:52 The team members were instructed to spray the substance directly into the face of the Eben. And then smash it with a hammer. EBE-1 was found to be vulnerable to this.
Starting point is 00:07:02 That's mad. So that's how they know what they're vulnerable to, because they beat the shit out of EBE-1. Oh to be vulnerable to this. That's mad. So that's how they know what they're vulnerable to, because they beat the shit out of EBE-1. Oh, so the one that died? Yes. Jesus. They sprayed him with liquid nitrogen.
Starting point is 00:07:13 As for weapons, each team member had a handgun and a rifle. Okay. They didn't know how much or how little they would need this. So they bored the Eben craft, and the trip to Serpo took 10 months, despite being something like 40 light years away, zeta reticuli, I think, such is the technology that the Ebens have access to. During this 10 months, the astronauts experienced, quote, considerable discomfort. They were offered Eben food, but all agreed that it tasted like paper
Starting point is 00:07:43 and they stuck with the C-rations they brought along. I like to imagine that the C-rations were candy. Yeah, Cheetos, Twinkies. I like that 12 love their sugar. Luckily, the team leader wrote about this voyage in his diary, so we do know a little bit about the second day on board.
Starting point is 00:07:59 We sat in the chairs, and a clear container was placed over us in the chair. We were isolated in this bubble or sphere. We could breathe okay and could see out, but we felt really dizzy and confused. I think I fell asleep or fainted. I'm sure this is another day, but my watch says it's only been one hour since we sapped. Already, flying through space at this velocity, getting some weird time dilation or contraction. They don't know how much
Starting point is 00:08:25 time is even passing right eventually the galactic 12 were able to wander freely around the enormous ship and they were even able to communicate with earth hq using the alien comms device for the entire trip cool which is pretty badass like i feel like we've all played enough video games where you get to wander around spaceship your hub yeah yeah like that sounds ball that's gonna be almost the most exciting bit of the trip because how long is it gonna take to get to i think i said 10 months 10 months yeah okay so there's like hopefully you're gonna assume there's some ping pong tables in there to say the least they got some space beers some weights so the galactic 12 can like stay jacked of course a bit of a prison yard vibe
Starting point is 00:09:05 right some areas of the ship not just like millennium falcon like just chess that was all they had in the millennium space chess i mean that's how you know the millennium falcon was never going for 10 months at a time hell to the no obviously millennium falcon was a ship that could do the nerdy little castleessel run in two parsecs. I think you'll find if you watch the new Star Wars movie, it's not a nerdy little run. Yeah, it is. It's pretty actually jacked and cool. Oh, two parsecs. Fantastic. That's enough time to fit in several games of chess.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Han almost died. How do you know? It was a very close call. Why, what, did the wedgie almost kill him from the jocks at the Galactic 12? Jesus, man, you're getting really invested in this. I think we should move on. So the Ebon craft, 10 months later, lands on planet Serpo in the Zeta Reticuli binary star system. What do you even do when you land on an alien planet? Where do you even begin?
Starting point is 00:10:10 This is like Neil Armstrong on the moon times a million. We don't even know what the physics are here. We don't know anything about the atmosphere. So right off the bat, the geologists and the team tried their best to map out the planet, deciding on north and south poles, mapping out quadrants of the land, seeing continents. Worked out as many of the basics as they could. The planet's diameter is measured at 7,218 miles, surface gravity 9.6 meters per second squared.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Very similar to Earth. Rotational period approximately 43 hours. You would be so pissed if you were in the Galactic 12 and you were like, welcome to our planet. Gravity, much like Earth, air, is comprised solely of oxygen. You were like, I spent two weeks in a fucking box buried in the ground. They launched me through the air in a bubble. Oh, actually, we live in boxes.
Starting point is 00:11:09 That's good. Right. Okay, that makes a lot of sense. Even smaller than the one you were trained for. No! Everyone, go home to your boxes. You're not putting me back in the box. And unfortunately, the temperature on Serpo is a permanent 107 degrees Fahrenheit.
Starting point is 00:11:26 That's where it changes big time. The Galactic 12 would be sweating their goddamn balls off for the entirety of their stay. They found a huge diversity of landscapes, arid desert regions, active volcanoes, areas of huge 3,000-foot canyons, where apparently they encountered an armadillo-type creature that was extremely hostile and had to be chased away with a sonic weapon. Wow. There were marshlands, areas of huge vegetation, forests of plants.
Starting point is 00:11:55 The first such area they discovered in Quadrant 1, they named Little Montana. So offensive. They're colonizing right off the ship. Yeah, no, they didn't even ask what it was called. Yeah. Like, welcome to our hometown. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:11 We'll call this America too. It's like, that's not how this works. Call this Little America. Little America. It's like, our planet is 50 times bigger than Earth. Yeah. Yeah, but it's shit, so it's little. The Ebons largely seem to live in the equator, is 50 times bigger than Earth. Yeah. Yeah, but it's shit, so it's little.
Starting point is 00:12:27 The Ebans largely seem to live in the equator, but the team preferred to live in the northern hemispheres because the temperature was slightly cooler and closer to Earth temperatures. Also, less solar radiation, which you kind of forget about when you go into space. Always nice. Far from being a barren wilderness, the team saw many types of animals.
Starting point is 00:12:43 One they called the beast, which was a bit like an ox and very hostile. And another that, quote, looked like a mountain lion. So a lot of hostile animals so far. Yeah. An angry armadillo, an angry ox, and an angry mountain lion. But the real story here is the ebons. We know that there's a ton of planets out there, maybe even some with armadillos and beasts but what we don't know is another planet with intelligent life so what were the ebans like what is life like millions of miles away from earth the galactic 12 recorded as much as they could so i'll run through some of the basics with you okay the ebans live in a very simple society the individual eban family contained a male, female, and at least one child.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Our team did find some families with as many as four children, but we later learned those families were caring for children of Ebons who were either travelling or dead. Like a one-child policy. The Ebons did not have a physiological need to release bodily waste
Starting point is 00:13:41 as we did. No butthole. Sorry, I'm trying, you're speaking quite scientifically so i'm just i'm translating for the common folk i appreciate that the ebons had small collection locations in the residence for their bodily wastes but the ebons body was extremely efficient in processing all food taken in their body wastes were very small similar to cat droppings turbo organs galactic 12 you'd get them some of those yeah but our team members never saw any urine come from an even no ding dong on the other hand our team members waste consisted of bulk quantities of both feces and urine the evens had to dig large waste reception sites for the galactic
Starting point is 00:14:20 12's waste which is absolutely hilarious so embarrassing if you go to a planet yeah and they're like i'm sorry what comes out of you i'm like oh don't you guys poop no of course not that's disgusting it'd just be so weird to like get the tour of the house and be like cool all right so uh one child um you guys seem like pretty chill how much do you guys shit because we shit a lot at least once a day what yeah dude you're like well i guess you could put it in this and it's like the whole a whole the size of a thumbtack it's like that's not gonna work bro that's not gonna work yeah they're like uh please uh to our um even toilet and it's just like a goddamn tea cup it's a a borderline tupperware that lasts them for a month yeah
Starting point is 00:15:06 and it's like look i've done shits bigger than your even son you we need to expand this bad boy so embarrassing that they had to create an entire waste like facility yeah i do like that idea though that's kind of feels almost realistic that even compared to other animals that humans produce like almost a lot of waste like we like pee like multiple times a day. Well, it's also like these creatures are so different. You could go to them like, oh, can I use the bathroom? And they're like, yeah, sure. And they just lead you into this room with an orb in the middle of it.
Starting point is 00:15:38 And they just touch the orb and they're like, do you need to go? It's like, um, what do I do? You touch the orb. Just piss yourself. I thought it was going to take it away or like, what do I do? You touch the orb. Just piss yourself. I thought it was going to take it away or something. Such a dignified moment. You touch the orb. They're like, what smells like shit?
Starting point is 00:15:54 Oh, I don't know. I'm sorry. Did you shit yourself? Did you guys not? Yes. On Earth, we just do that. Sort of a cleansing of the body. The Ibans had a variety of food items. They grew vegetables.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Our team found items similar to potatoes, but they tasted different. The Ibans had some type of white liquid, which we first thought was a form of milk. But after tasting it, our team realised it was different, both in taste and content. The liquid came from a small tree
Starting point is 00:16:24 located in the northern portion of the planet. And in terms of language, humans could make the Ibn tonal sounds, but you had to practice and practice and practice. It took a long time before anyone studying the Ibn language could make the sounds. Some of the sounds were similar
Starting point is 00:16:39 to high-pitched singing sounds. Like we saw on Earth. We did kind of call that. The Ebens were extremely disciplined in their daily lives. They worked on a tight schedule, which was not by a clock, but by the movement of their sun. There was never complete darkness on Serpo.
Starting point is 00:16:55 It got dim, but not dark. They had rest periods, but not like our sleep periods. Curiously, they didn't seem to use months or years either. They did, however, have life periods, as our team coined it. It was impossible to judge an even's age, although our team did find graves. They had leaders, but no real form of government. There was virtually no crime seen by the team. They had an army, which also acted as a kind of police, but no guns or weapons of any type
Starting point is 00:17:21 were seen by our team. Hand to hand. Bold. They're jujitsu masters. That's why they didn't need any guns. And they didn't seem to use money either. Every even was issued exactly what they needed. No stores, malls or shopping locations. There were central distribution centers where evens went to obtain items of need. What I'm hearing from that is they're goddamn communists, basically.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Sounds like it. Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't a goddamn communist basically sounds like it yeah i'm surprised they didn't just calm down and be like this is an is a u.s dollar and like within 10 minutes like the whole society's been upturned there's like police brutality everyone's fighting over the dollar they opened the first like strip club in disneyland in the first 19 minutes of getting there. Evens just flashing. People are having way more than one kid. They're just like having sex on the streets. The Galactic 12 showed them how to have a good time all right.
Starting point is 00:18:14 The evens also had sex. Our team was able to witness births too. Our team, while snooping around, was able to see the sexual activity of the evens. The males and females had similar sexual organs and performed intercourse somewhat like humans which is weird on the galactic 12's part to be checking in on that but um yeah i guess they were like scientific they needed to know you're not going to go there all that distance and not find out well obviously one of the galactic 12 was william shatner which the u.s hired after seeing him in Star Trek and believing he was an actual space captain.
Starting point is 00:18:51 And, you know, he's landed on a new planet. He's kind of like schmoozing all the ladies, all these alien ladies. He's like, I got to do a little intimate research, if you know what I mean. And they're giggling. They're going, rah, rah, rah. Because I think that's how they giggle, right? That's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:07 So he's like, oh, that's a good sign. Everyone else is like, this is strictly against the Galactic 12 code. We are going to have to court martial and kill you if you carry through with this. Listen, you know the motto of the Galactic 12. We fly together, we die together, baby. And they're like, you're right. Go do what you got to do. And on that like, you're right. Go do what you gotta do. And on that note, one thing that I need to bring up,
Starting point is 00:19:28 I know we love the Galactic 12. They're the best of the best. They're brave. They're adventurous. You're about to badmouth me. But right off the bat, they are dropping like flies. I think one of them died before they even got to Serpo. Why wouldn't you tell me this?
Starting point is 00:19:41 My brothers! Between the distance, the space travel, the planet's atmosphere, the food, the animals, accidents are gonna happen. This is like the 60s as well. It's like... I mean, it's a miracle that we got guys to the moon and back and they didn't die. That's nuts. Yeah. But to get them 40 light years away,
Starting point is 00:20:05 and we don't know what's on the other end of that. Yeah, Shatner didn't step foot off the craft. He died like three days into the thing when they realized he wasn't an actual space captain. Of an Eben STD. Our team witnessed an aircraft accident that killed four Ebens. The Ebens performed a form of ritual at
Starting point is 00:20:26 the crash site. Our team members saw the sorrow in the eyes of the Eben's as they conducted some type of funeral. The Eben bodies were wrapped in a white cloth. Several types of liquids were poured over the bodies. When our first team member died in an accident, it was hard to communicate that with the Eben's.s the evens must have understood something because they didn't attempt to help they must have understood he was dead however once the evens saw one of our team members crying they stepped in and tried to attempt some sort of medical care oh because i guess they'd never seen crying before right which kind of makes sense like his eyes are broken we need to laser them shut goes over with a ray gun
Starting point is 00:21:07 blast a hole in his head his head explodes the captain's like i know that was sad but no one cry oh good nice is that another tear brother no no no no why have they learned to say brother because it's all the galactic 12 call each other. One detail I found from research in this case is that the Ebons were not the only alien race present on Serpo. There were others. The Galactic 12 reported visitors from up to nine other star systems, including Greys.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Wow. They claim that the Greys specifically came from Alpha Centauri A. There were even mentions of hostile mechanical lifeforms. So we're talking like goddamn Star Wars cantina level of other species running around Serpo. Yeah, a little hub where everyone just kind of mingles and has a good time. It kind of makes sense.
Starting point is 00:22:01 If these guys have got the capacity for interplanetary, interstellar travel, Dishar travel, what's the likelihood that Earth is the first place they've visited? Yeah. Probably been to a bunch of other places close by. Now, there is a massive amount written about the experiences of the Galactic 12, and we cannot cover it all here. It said that the entire mission was disclosed internally afterwards in a 3 000 plus page report wow and even the information that anonymous alone provided by email was huge what we do know is that the galactic 12 lived on serpo for about 10 years oh my god reportedly because the ebons lived on a planet with two suns a 43 hour day and a society that did not measure years or anything
Starting point is 00:22:50 beyond days really yeah um they quickly lost track of time of course not to mention yeah the whole kind of different level of i don't know gravity and physics when they were there meant that they had no instruments with which to measure time back on earth yeah so they tried their best smart cookies what they were but i think they're only supposed to stay for like something like eight years weeks it was a passing visit they were supposed to show up say hi the even party was too dope yeah they come back to earth 10 years later like where the have you been we told everyone you were dead it's like big red eyes from hangovers yeah it's like please don't talk i'm hanging like crazy by the way shatner's dead the eight astronauts returned in 1978 and were debriefed for a solid year by the
Starting point is 00:23:39 air force office of special investigations this resulted in the 3,000-page report. They were then released into civilian life. The last survivor of this brave and historic band of pioneers passed away in 2002. They had all absorbed massive doses of radiation while on Serpo, and it is believed that this shortened their lives considerably. Price you gotta pay to party that goddamn hard. Curiously, they didn't all come back apparently two of the galactic 12s chose to stay on serpo for the rest of their lives that's a pretty
Starting point is 00:24:12 badass choice i guess didn't we say that when they signed up like they didn't have families that's right yeah they had nothing to go back to yeah so i guess like other than humanity if you're pretty sure the rest of your crew can go back and you're having a pretty dope time on an alien planet, I don't know. Maybe you would stay. It's true. Also, like, the folks that went back didn't last that long. Well, they lasted like 20-odd years or whatever.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Yeah. If you stay on Serpo, the thing is, they didn't even know how old these Ibans were. They're super advanced. They might have some crazy technology to keep you going for a long long time yeah i say that but it's like one of the guys gets like 70 years old it's got really high blood pressure is like i need you guys to work that even medical magic on me and they just like start wrapping him up in the bandages he's like
Starting point is 00:24:58 all we know is either the US or planet Serpo ceased communications in 1985. And according to Anonymous, we haven't heard back since. So what are you thinking right off the bat just about hearing
Starting point is 00:25:15 about the Galactic 12's journey to Serpo, what they got up to while they were there? It's pretty far out there in terms of things. It's probably the maddest thing we've talked about on
Starting point is 00:25:25 this podcast yeah we once talked about a half donkey half woman ghost that's right but at least that was on earth yeah there's no rules in space everyone knows that yeah i one of the cool things is was hearing about the way they bury bodies right and it kind of sounded like uh a version of mummification right and there's loads of links between like ancient egypt and ufos or like visitors from the stars it's kind of cool to see like a bit of that culture either like bleeding either way like maybe that kind of like influenced how the mummification process works on earth or maybe they got that if they came to visit years and years ago and that's something i actually haven't seen discussed online at all so that's an interesting insight and it is true if the ebens
Starting point is 00:26:17 are real we do not know how long they've been visiting earth very likely that they've visited during the time of the ancient egyptians too absolutely especially if you're showing up to this hub planet and there's like a whole hell load of species all hanging out here they've been all over the place they've probably been to earth 2.0 yeah where you know everyone mummifies everyone it's also funny to think of the things that alien civilizations might have gifted earth that aren't as sexy or mysterious the galactic 12 get to serpo and they uncover ancient ruins with hieroglyphs and they're like are they vaping yeah oh yeah yeah we gifted vaping to earth pretty early on actually we incepted it in the mind of someone who's going to be born and yeah you guys have to thank us dusting off more hieroglyphs is
Starting point is 00:27:04 that a micro scooter yeah you guys pretty much figured out regular scooters okay but the micro scooter thing was all us baby yeah it's like anyway let me like play some of our traditional music that's dubstep that's skrillex it's like what oh i guess we must have just been playing it on one of our ships when we came to visit the problem of course is beyond these emails from the ex-DIA group anonymous, what proof do we have? Surely if this project at least the same scale of the moon landing took place, someone would have let it slip by now. Of course throughout this story supposedly the upper echelons of US government knew all about it and whilst no one has said this publicly, supposed ex-government sources have leaked a transcript
Starting point is 00:27:46 of a briefing that Ronald Reagan received regarding Project Serpo and the Galactic 12. Wow. So is this like quotes from a document or is this an actual scan of the document? Because what I was hoping for was like, you know, the scans of a transcript with, you know, the United States seal at the top or like from the desk of the president, that scans of a transcript with, you know, the United States seal at the top,
Starting point is 00:28:05 or like from the desk of the president, that sort of thing. Not a 10-page long alien fan fiction. Hey. Reagan was topless on the desk when the bodyguards walked in. So it is just fan fiction. You said you wanted a gritty scan of some top secret shit. You know what I want. want feast your eyes on this all right so kid has handed me a laptop which has i mean it is a gritty scan of a very military
Starting point is 00:28:33 looking document at the top it reads top secret magic eyes only which i assume is majestic so this is supposed to be direct to the president right right what am i looking at here what is this this basically discloses ufo relating information i assume this came through either anonymous or their contacts within the intelligence community you've given me what i asked for i gotta give you that much I did want this exact type of document, so... I can't complain too much. Almost as if I mocked it up right here and now. And if that isn't enough for you, there is more. We're talking about very high-profile figures.
Starting point is 00:29:15 It's said that famed astrophysicist Carl Sagan was also involved in the final Project Serpo report, maybe as a consultant, and he may have based his best-selling book, Contact, on Project Serpo report, maybe as a consultant, and he may have based his best-selling book Contact on Project Serpo. This 1980s book deals with humanity meeting a far more technologically advanced race and includes all manner of science fiction devices, twists and turns. Was this a groundbreakingly original book from an academic or a way of him bringing the knowledge of the Ibans into the culture of Earth? But he has talked about Serpo
Starting point is 00:29:52 before. The fact that he went on to release this book Contact, which by the way, earned him the most money anyone had ever been given for a book advance at that point. You know how much it was? I think it was $2.1 million in 1981, which is like, I don't know, a lot. Yeah, that's insane. And he wrote on such fantastical stuff about humanity going and visiting another alien species far more technologically advanced. And this is coming from an academic as well, not someone who would typically necessarily have an interest in writing science fiction. And by the same thread, many link Project Serpo to Steven Spielberg. I'm sure some of the listeners at home will have heard the story I've just told you about Project Serpo, the Ebens, the Galactic 12, flying 40 light years across the galaxy. This is pretty much the story of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Steven Spielberg.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Is it? I actually haven't seen that movie. This is pretty much the story of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Steven Spielberg. Is it? I actually haven't seen that movie. You're like, having read the snelpsis briefly described on Wikipedia, I believe I have the authority to dictate what this movie is about. Wait till you hear. So Spielberg himself wanted to get his story about intergalactic contact right. And after Jaws, he had some goddamn Jaws money lying around or so he wanted to get it perfect he hired dr j alan hynek as a consultant this is an astronomer hired by the u.s air force wait i know who this motherfucker is where dr j alan hynek that this is the this
Starting point is 00:31:17 is the dude from uh from project blue book holy shit he worked on project blue book with the u.s government this came up during the cash landrum case here you go and then he basically stopped working for the government and was like yeah aliens are all real and this is who spielberg hired to consult for close encounters bro that's so weird oh god i hate that I recognized that name. I didn't, I'll be honest with you. Nice little bombshell right before the conclusion. It's believed that Hynek told Spielberg about
Starting point is 00:31:53 Project Serpo. Oh, I wish you hadn't have said that name because now I'm so on board for a yes. And this is the weird thing. Spielberg was kind of tight with the White House. He was invited to the White House to screen his movie. And he actually was quoted as saying in an interview in the 80s, I believe it was,
Starting point is 00:32:17 I really found my faith when I learned that the government was opposed to my film. If NASA took the time to write me a 20-page letter, then I knew there must be something happening. When they read the script, they got very angry and felt that the film would be dangerous. Why is NASA writing a 20-page letter to Steven Spielberg about this pie-in-the-sky science fiction movie after getting advised by Hynek himself? I guess at a point where Hynek would team up with Steven Spielberg to talk about UFOs he'd seen working with the U.S. military, he probably then wasn't that cool with NASA. They probably didn't appreciate him disclosing government secrets
Starting point is 00:33:00 to Spielberg, a movie maker, who was going to screen probably quite accurate depictions of those secrets to millions of people all over the world so i can feel it you're on the fence right now i've just pitched a fastball freaking curved on your head did a loop-de-loop and knocked me out knocked you goddamn out but i have some physical evidence believe it or not to begin with here's a scan of some writing examples of the ibn alphabet okay um can i be bold enough to ask where these came from classified all right not the response i was looking for it comes from anonymous these are like these are like leaked dia goddamn scans it's hard to know what is what because there's no direct translation there's way more than 26 symbols here
Starting point is 00:33:46 and some of them are just a squiggle in fact i'm going to go ahead and say the majority of these are squiggles that was just a b backwards what a d yeah it's just a d that's a treble clef hey you know great minds think alike maybe they discovered the same cool shapes as we did. And you know what? However way this has been written and designed, there is some kind of form to it. Like the busiest symbols seem to kind of congregate in one corner of this alphabet.
Starting point is 00:34:18 And the rounder ones seem to be in line. The shorter, smaller lined ones seem to be kind of at the start. Like there is something going on here. These don't just look like random symbols drawn on a page. But the final piece that I'm going to show you is none other than a photo of EBE-1. The little intergalactic bastard that started this whole story off
Starting point is 00:34:42 when he crashed his way into Roswell. An actual EBE-1? This came from an ex-intelligence officer and it has been confirmed by two sources please find this photo of ev1 wow wow i mean this is uh this is exactly what you think when someone says alien gray this is a tall alien headed shaped creature big squinty bug eyes tiny little nose tiny little mouth long neck skinny body it looks like an alien it's kind of nuts that this isn't a gray apparently this is a even yeah you like a girl. What the hell's a grey compared to this? I don't know why it looks like PS1 graphics almost. Oh, yeah, just awful. But having shown you this, a photo of EBE1 detailed the story for you
Starting point is 00:35:34 right from the mouth of Anonymous, the ex-DIA agents. What are you thinking about Project Serpo? It's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride because we went straight into this episode with landing on an alien planet, drinking tree milk, having sex with aliens on another planet. Some angry armadillos trying to fight us and blasting them off with ray guns. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:55 And then straight back to Earth where the Galactic 12 are dying of radiation poisoning. UFO analysts for the government are actually talking with spielberg who's being invited to the white house to screen his films and then we're looking at actual scan documents a supposed alphabet you literally took us straight back down to earth yeah in the second half where we're seeing the remnants of this mission and the galactic 12 the problem is is that evidence these artifacts enough to pull the weight of the other claims that anonymous has made i i don't know that is a heavy heavy burden a lot of information that i think even if it was leaked, I'm not sure how he was privy to it. It's an unbelievably fantastical story that requires really fantastic evidence to tie that
Starting point is 00:36:53 all together. So the primary resource for this is a website called Serpo.org, where they try to detail some of the evidence. I bring this up because I went to that page trying to find the silver bullet, something that would really make this believable. One of their reasons for why it could or should be true is that some of the calculations that Anonymous provided were approvably wrong. They were kind of saying, well, if it was a hoax, they would make sure to get those numbers right wouldn't they i guess which seems like some incredibly backward logic yeah or it was a hoax
Starting point is 00:37:32 and that's why the numbers are wrong so there seems to be from when i read the their arguments for how this story makes sense there seems to be a lot of bias yeah it doesn't sound like they're also acknowledging the spelling mistakes that you mentioned earlier in the episode. So it leaves us in a sticky situation. If you have to come down on a hard and fast conclusion as to whether the story of Project Serp with the Galactic 12 is true or not, truly paranormal, what do you say? If I have to come down right now based on what I've seen...
Starting point is 00:38:01 You do. This week is going to be a no from me, unfortunately. I spit out my drink over what it's just a little too fantastical for for me to to confirm as a yes i think what i need to do in my own time and at my own leisure is really look into the life of the galactic 12 yes part of me thinks they do exist but there's also a part of me that thinks none of them died kit and none of them came back and those beautiful star chasing bastards are still out there to this day you're shopping for jackets as we speak you're
Starting point is 00:38:39 on yeah obviously because you know if one of them does die there's always got to be 12 and hell if i've already got the jacket it makes it a little easier for that one hey kid is pretty cool actually i'm big i'm bringing you up to the big leagues yeah welcome to the galactic 12 and i go thank you mr shatner they revived him they found out i'll bring him back to life awesome they couldn't save his dick though no it's good it's gone long gone so yeah part of me does want to believe but i think that's going to be research i'm gonna have to do in my own time what about you i think the sad thing about this story is that we've got as much evidence as we're gonna get in a way everyone who was ever associated with this is going to be gone soon a bit like roswell
Starting point is 00:39:20 yeah you know just imagine for maybe a second that something as crazy as this did happen and how wild it is that if you cover it up for the length of a human lifespan it can be covered up forever potentially but that all being said and done we don't have enough evidence it's going to be a no well that really took a took a harsh turn there you know what the only loose threads that could come back to unravel this story are the remaining two members of the galactic 12 that stayed uneven that's the only way we're gonna find out is if we can go to zeta reticuli 40 light years away yeah find planet serpo exactly and try and track don william shatner and whoever he stayed there with and that is why folks we are officially announcing our latest tier on the this paranormal life patreon half a billion dollars to create some sort of spacecraft capable of hunting
Starting point is 00:40:13 down the galactic 12 now uh in that process we will obviously be creating our own galactic 12 kit myself and open to uh 10 other pledges to help us fund the ship that we'll get you the jacket for free um if you make the if you make the team and we'll head off into the galaxy and find those those those lost threads we're really trying to get elon musk on board we really think that he is the capital and the interest to get this going you You know, once he's done with this whole Mars project, I think he'll be really interested in Zeta Reticuli. For sure. That just about wraps it up for the investigation of Project Serpa.
