What do you get when you mix a massive magnetic rock, some very friendly aliens, and a man who claimed he could build a time machine using sound? You get The Integratron—a mysterious white dome in the middle of the Mojave Desert with a story that’s equal parts sci-fi, spirituality, and 1950s UFO fever.
In this episode, we explore the strange and wonderful world of George Van Tassel: former test pilot, alien contactee, and self-proclaimed inventor of a machine that could heal the body, extend life, and maybe even open a portal through time.
From desert stargazing to “space brother” meetups, Cold War paranoia to sonic healing baths—this is one of the wildest intersections of fringe science, cosmic hope, and good old American weirdness.
So bring your tinfoil hat and your tuning fork.
Maybe a shovel and join use as we explore "The Integratron."
