For decades, unidentified aerial phenomena were dismissed as misidentifications, hoaxes, or fringe speculation. Then the Department of Defense created a permanent office to study them. In this episode of ParaReality, I examine the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office — AARO — and ask the question that matters most: why does it exist? From Cold War investigations like Project Sign, Grudge, and Blue Book to modern encounters like ...

The creature's name originated with the discovery of some ...

This week on ParaReality, Sandman sits down with experiencer and author Bret Oldham to explore a side of contact that rarely gets discussed — what happens after the encounters. Based on themes from his book Children of the Greys: Aftermath, Bret shares what it’s like to live with the long-term psychological, emotional, and personal impact of experiences that don’t come with clear explanations or easy closure. This conversatio...

From late 1896 to mid-1897, thousands across the US reported cigar-shaped "mystery airships" with bright spotlights, impossible speeds, and silent flight years before viable aircraft existed. Centered in the Midwest and California, these sightings—often featuring inventor stories or alien theories—remain largely unexplained, combining mass hysteria, hoaxes, and early UFO lore.  Listen in as the Syndicate discusses the mystery, t...

In Part 2 of this ParaReality investigation into disclosure, Sandman looks beyond the sightings and testimony to ask a more difficult question: why does secrecy persist? From national security and institutional control to public perception and narrative management, this episode explores whether disclosure is unfolding naturally — or being carefully managed. Episode 1 examined what we know. Episode 2 explores why the truth still fe...

Wow! Here it is, the very first episode of ParaReality that I ever did. I had just signed up for a Live365 account and all I had was a headset microphone and an idea. I also had no clue what I was doing! I think that the first version of ParaReality Radio was a unique one. It combined stories of the paranormal with a nice dose of rock music, ending with one of the most popular segments that I ever did - News of the Strange. Back...

A powerful man is dead. The official story is neat, controlled, and reassuring. But the details refuse to stay quiet. In this first episode of Midnight Syndicate, the hosts step into the shadows surrounding the murder of a UnitedHealthcare CEO—an event that sent shockwaves through corporate America and raised more questions than answers. What begins as a seemingly isolated act quickly becomes something far more unsettling as tim...

UFOs are no longer a fringe topic. Congressional hearings, military testimony, and whistleblowers have pushed UAPs into the mainstream — but real answers remain elusive. In Part 1 of this two-episode ParaReality investigation, Sandman examines the history, the hearings, and the witnesses behind modern disclosure, revealing a pattern of acknowledgment without transparency. Episode 1 lays out the facts. Episode 2 asks why the tr...

For decades, the subject of UFOs — now known as UAPs — was dismissed, ridiculed, or buried beneath layers of secrecy. But in recent years, something has changed. Congressional hearings have been held. Military pilots have testified under oath. Whistleblowers have stepped forward. And the U.S. government has openly acknowledged that unidentified objects are operating in our skies. So why does it still feel like we’re not getting ...
