In this episode we go deep into Herbert Schirmer’s hypnosis regression, where he describes his encounter with strange beings and the snake emblem that stuck with him for the rest of his life.
But Schirmer’s case isn’t the only one. We look at other accounts with the same type of beings and the same symbols, from Bill Herrmann’s abduction in South Carolina, to the Lacerta Files, to Filiberto Cárdenas and his unbelievable story told in UFO Contact from Undersea, and more.
What starts to emerge is a clear pattern. The serpent symbol keeps showing up across different places, times, and witnesses.
So the big question is why. Who are these beings and what does the serpent really mean.
If you’re into abduction stories, UFO history, and connecting the dots between some of the strangest cases ever recorded, you’ll want to stick around for this one.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
