Episode 36 | Operation Serpo: U.S. Alien Exchange Program

Operation Serpo: Secret Alien Exchange or Epic Hoax?

In this mind-bending episode of The Rise of Basic Men, the crew takes you on an interstellar journey through one of the wildest conspiracy theories in UFO lore—Operation Serpo, also known as Operation Crystal Night. Did the U.S. government really send 12 military personnel to an alien planet 39 light years away in 1965? And did they trade human lives for extraterrestrial tech after the Roswell crash? Buckle up, because this ain’t your average Sunday chat.

From a surviving alien learning English to a 13-year mission on a desert planet with two suns, paper-tasting food, and cloning experiments—this story has it all. But is it the greatest cover-up in human history or just a disinformation campaign cooked up by a shady ex-intelligence agent?

 Highlights Include:

• Roswell Roots: How a crashed alien craft in 1947 allegedly sparked a secret exchange program with beings from Zeta Reticuli.
• The Serpo Expedition: 12 humans, 39 light years, 9 months—surviving radiation, telepathic aliens, and a world with no night.
• EBE-1: The extraterrestrial survivor who phoned home—or tried to—before dying in 1952.
• Time Dilation Drama: A 10-year mission that stretched to 13, with only 8 returning in 1978.
• Richard Doty & Disinformation: The ex-Air Force agent linked to the leaks—truth-teller or professional liar?
• The Chronovisor: Did aliens gift the U.S. a device to peek into the past and future?
• Skeptic vs. Believer: David calls BS, while Joey’s ready to hop on the next alien ship.
