1340 The Watchers: Ancient Aliens, UFOs and The Dark Truth Behind Disclosure

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1340 The Watchers: Ancient Aliens, UFOs and The Dark Truth Behind Disclosure What if the beings we call aliens were known by another name long before Roswell—The Watchers? On this episode of Richard Syrett’s Strange Planet, David Masters explores the unsettling possibility that the UFO phenomenon is not extraterrestrial at all, but ancient, spiritual, and profoundly deceptive. If the old texts were right, modern “disclosure” may be something far darker than we’ve been told. GUEST: David Masters is an independent researcher, broadcaster, and writer exploring one of the most controversial ideas in the modern UFO debate: that the so-called alien phenomenon may not be extraterrestrial, but spiritual, ancient, and deeply deceptive. Drawing from Scripture, Genesis, the Book of Enoch, and the Ethiopian biblical tradition, Masters argues that what we now call “non-human intelligence” may be the latest rebranding of entities once known as Watchers, fallen angels, and corrupters of mankind. He is also the host of Spooky Action at a Distance on Ground Zero Plus, where he examines the overlap between the paranormal, theology, hidden history, and the unseen forces that may shape our world. Masters is the author of several provocative works investigating biblical anomalies, supernatural intelligence, and the spiritual architecture behind modern deception. His work challenges the sanitized language of “contact” and “disclosure,” and asks whether humanity is being prepared—not for revelation—but for seduction.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1338 “Nefertiti Erased: The Queen History Tried to Bury” What if one of history’s most powerful women didn’t disappear—but was erased? Tonight on Strange Planet, Monica O’Reilly takes us inside ancient Egypt’s most dangerous revolution, where Nefertiti stood at the center of power… and then vanished without a trace. No tomb. No record. Just silence. Was she buried by time—or deliberately written out of history? GUEST: Monica O’Reilly is a historical fiction author drawn to the fractures in the official record—the missing rulers, erased names, and buried truths. In Nefertiti’s Crown, she blends meticulous research with vivid storytelling to reconstruct the volatile Amarna period, revealing Nefertiti not as a passive icon, but as a formidable political force at the center of a dangerous and possibly suppressed chapter of history.

As AI-generated deepfakes blur truth and illusion, online rumors swirl around Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s health—and even his existence.

1335 Black Dahlia SOLVED? The Kansas City Cover-Up & The Killer Hiding in Plain Sight

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1335 Black Dahlia SOLVED? The Kansas City Cover-Up & The Killer Hiding in Plain Sight In 1947, Elizabeth Short was found brutally murdered—her body severed, her name erased, replaced forever by “The Black Dahlia.” For nearly 80 years, the case has remained unsolved… or has it? Author Eli Frankel believes the mystery is built on a fatal misunderstanding—one that begins not in Hollywood, but in Kansas City, with a second victim and a killer hiding in plain sight. GUEST: Eli Frankel is a Hollywood producer, investigative researcher, and author of Sisters in Death. After years combing through original case files, witness statements, and overlooked connections, Frankel has constructed a bold, evidence-driven theory linking the Black Dahlia murder to an earlier killing—identifying a single suspect he believes got away with murder twice.

1333 Ticking Time Bomb: Did Cold War Bioweapons Experiments Unleash Lyme Disease?

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1333 Ticking Time Bomb: Did Cold War Bioweapons Experiments Unleash Lyme Disease? During the Cold War, the Pentagon explored a terrifying possibility: weaponizing insects to spread disease. At laboratories like Fort Detrick and Plum Island, scientists studied ticks, mosquitoes, and fleas as delivery systems for biological agents. Now, newly examined documents are raising unsettling questions. Did secret military experiments help shape the mysterious emergence of Lyme disease in the 1970s? Dr. Robert Malone joins Richard Syrett to investigate one of the most disturbing chapters of biowarfare history. GUEST: Dr. Robert Malone is a physician, biochemist, and internationally recognized pioneer of mRNA vaccine technology whose early research helped lay the foundation for modern genetic vaccines. In recent years he has emerged as a controversial voice examining the intersection of public health, national security, and government transparency. Malone has been investigating Cold War biological warfare programs—including alleged experiments involving disease-carrying ticks—and their possible connection to the origins of Lyme disease.

1332 The Anunnaki Stargate: Did Ancient Priesthoods Open Doorways Through Consciousness

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1332 The Anunnaki Stargate: Did Ancient Priesthoods Open Doorways Through Consciousness For thousands of years, the Sumerians told of powerful beings known as the Anunnaki—mysterious entities said to have shaped civilization, bestowed knowledge, and then vanished into myth. Most people today assume they were extraterrestrials. But what if the story was never about aliens at all? Historian Dr. Heather Lynn argues that the Anunnaki may have been non-human intelligences encountered through altered states of consciousness—accessed through ritual, trance, and sacred practices used by ancient priesthoods. In her new book Anunnaki Revelation, she explores a startling possibility: that ancient civilizations possessed a lost technology of consciousness—a kind of stargate of the mind—capable of opening contact with other realms. GUEST: Dr. Heather Lynn is a historian, researcher, and author who explores the hidden side of ancient history—where archaeology, mythology, and the occult intersect. She has appeared on the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens and written several books examining lost civilizations, forbidden knowledge, and the mysteries embedded in ancient texts. Her latest book, Anunnaki Revelation, challenges the extraterrestrial narrative and proposes a startling new interpretation: that the “gods” of antiquity may have been non-human intelligences encountered through altered states of consciousness.

1331 The Hole in Mount Shasta: A Forbidden Dig Into America’s Strangest Mountain

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1331 The Hole in Mount Shasta: A Forbidden Dig Into America’s Strangest Mountain A massive hand-dug hole carved into the slopes of Mount Shasta has baffled locals, mystics, and investigators alike. Who dug it—and what were they searching for beneath one of North America’s most myth-soaked mountains? Richard Syrett speaks with filmmaker Elijah Sullivan about his haunting documentary The Hole Story, a journey from physical mystery to high strangeness, where UFO lore, hidden civilizations, and obsession collide deep inside Shasta’s shadow. GUEST: Elijah Sullivan is a filmmaker, writer, and director whose work explores the intersection of folklore, mystery, and the psychology of belief. Raised near Mount Shasta, he brings a deeply personal lens to The Hole Story, a documentary investigating a strange hand-dug cavern on the mountain’s slopes. Sullivan’s storytelling blends investigative curiosity with atmospheric filmmaking, probing how real places become epicenters of myth, obsession, and unexplained phenomena.
