Notice, notice, this midweek mini was recorded several months ago and may not be up to date with current events. For fresh minisode uploads with every episode, head to patreon.com slash Chaluminati pod. So here. Oh. Oh. Welcome back. Hello. Hello.

Hello. Hello. I got a couple small things today, but what do you guys got today? I got a big old listener story. You want that? It's a good one. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, uh, it's, it's, it's, uh, it's, it's, I want it. I want it.

This is from, this is from Chaluminaati listener, drowning creek who has been sharing several stories about life in North Carolina recently. Okay. Uh, howdy, cheluminots. I'm on a roll, so I thought I'd share another story from the rural sandhills of North Carolina. In case this story gets shared separately from my others, I will give a little background about the area.

The North Carolina Sand Hills is not far from the devil's tramping ground or the swamps that Venus flytraps grow in. We have various species that make this fire-dependent landscape home, including timber rattlesnakes, timber rattlesnakes, coyotes, great horned owls, flying squirrels, pitcher plants, and the endangered long-leaf pine. At night, you may hear songs of a coyote pack, which you can't. is a communal behavior, unlike said in old wives' tales, they are mostly

silent when hunting. Here's some coyotes for you guys to listen to. The whinny of a screech owl, which here's a witty of the eastern screech owl for you guys. Why did I listen to that? I don't need to hear this.

The song of a Chuck Will's widow or one of our various frogs or toads. Now this is a Chuck Will's widow. There you go. Now you can listen to all that. And if you want to listen at home, go to patreon.com.

I mean, excuse me, Reddit slash Tulmanati Pod. And go check out this post, listener story knocking in the woods. Here we go. One evening, I was letting my dogs out to use the bathroom before bed. It was maybe 11 p.m. and a chilly and dry November. Shortly after we got outside, I heard a noise that sounded like a brand. branch cracking. We have deer passed through frequently. Maybe it was one of them. But then, more cracking. An almost knocking crack, like a branch hitting against a tree. It sounded like it was

coming from the hill above my house where an old barn and the skeleton of an old farmhouse from the 1800s were made. I was curious, and I've hazed every potentially scary species here, so I wasn't super concerned about checking it out. Our coyotes are skittish, black bears are very rare, and white-tailed deer would take off as soon as they heard me coming. My dogs weren't sure about what we were hearing either and trailed hesitantly behind me. More snapping, more cracking.

It started to happen only seconds apart. My flashlight wasn't reflecting any eyes or tracking any movement, but the noise kept coming, growing louder as I walked up the hill. The cracks started to sound more like, loud pops. My dogs stopped following and my heart started to race. Was someone trespassing and shooting a BB gun? Was a raccoon knocking about in a tree? Or two bucks clashing antlers? A neighbor a few miles down the road swore Bigfoot lived in these woods. He had told me he heard Bigfoot multiple times. Was this the knocking my neighborhood? What if it wasn't just a story? Maybe I should have

come more prepared and grab my phone and one of my guns before I started off through the woods. But as I got to the top of the hill, I saw nothing. No eyes reflecting back, no animals, no bigfoot. But these cracking pops kept coming. Then I saw it. Something was hitting the branches of the trees as it fell to the ground. Many things were falling. Was it hail? It was cold, but the sky was full of stars. And I didn't see any ice on the ground. I got closer to one of the trees and tracked one of the things I saw falling. Seed pods. Massive seed pods were cracking open and dropping from the tree canopies. And these aren't any seed pods. These are pods from the invasive Chinese wisteria planted by the old farmhouse that was no longer standing. The century-old massive vines were strangling several

trees as they grew up into the tree canopy and now dropping seeds. I returned back to my house with my two dogs in tow and looked up Chinese wisteria. I discovered that their seed pods will violently snap open during late fall when the air is cool and dry. Was this what my bigfoot hunting neighbor had heard before? How many other cryptid stories have come about because the storyteller didn't find the source of the noise? Here is a video of wisteria seed pods exploding. It captures the sound quite well. It's actually quite a crazy sound. And actually, they're bigger than I thought they were. Yeah.

Yeah. Sounds like a door. It sounds like shattering wood. It sounds like shattering wood. You know, when that guy's head showed up, it jumped scared me. You're like, oh. Yeah. I was like,

nowhere. Oh, shit. That guy, I just thought it was a video of the things exploding. This man's like, oh, hey. Oh, yeah. Don't like that. Pretty, pretty, uh, pretty good one. Hey?

Yeah. End up being a Jesse story. Yeah. Good. Jesse, what do you have this week? Well, I, mine's pretty simple. So there is a lot of talk right now in sort of the, magneto, you know, like resonance world of the internet

where people are talking about the fact that, some background. the earth has like a like a magnetic frequency like a rhythm right and it's generated by the ionosphere but for some reason i think because it sounds more like holistic in this article they keep referring it to as the earth's heartbeat i don't know that i'd call it the earth's heartbeat that's like that's like your daughter if you're like alan grant or something like i don't know like that's not you. I would, when you say Earth's heartbeat, I think of like Final

Fantasy 7 and like the life stream. But this is, this is you know, the magnetic frequency, the, the electromagnetic ionosphere nature of the planet, basically that is, like pulses around like seven,

eight cycles per second measured in hertz. Uh, but you know, it's been detected on higher frequencies or whatever. And the human brain also operates with some electromagnetic waves going on, the brain waves in your head. Well, there is a site that you can go look at right now

called Meteo Agent that monitors the, what is called the Schumann resonance, which is kind of the electromagnetic rhythm of the world. Yep. And basically there is a lot of reason to monitor it lately because solar flares, geomagnetic storms, space phenomenon, all these different things can affect the Earth's magnetic field.

And speaking of, there's a very famous story that I keep thinking about all the time about the fact that there was several years ago a solar flare that like brought a plane out of the sky. Like it didn't crash it, but like it fell a thousand feet or something crazy like that because it got hit by like the solar flare radio. basically and also right like it just was like voop yeah same thing with computers there was this case

this might be 10 years ago now where a bunch of computers got corrupted and they had no idea why when they finally figured out basically a solar flare like nuked the computers whoa which is so it messes with us the sun provides us life and then it's like ha ha I'm gonna mess with a little bit wasn't there some kind of like like famous speed run thing that had to do with like a solar flare affecting like the button press. Yeah, yeah. Something like that. Like a Mario 64 or something like that.

Oh, damn. No, I didn't know. It can do anything. Solar flares are crazy. Yeah. And again, there's no real evidence to support what I'm about to say.

This is kind of a theory of what's going on right now. But a lot of people lately are saying these electromagnetic frequency changes and the residents of Earth is affecting how people sleep. And they say basically, earth electromagnetic field and then the activity in it contributes to anxiety trouble sleeping difficulty concentrating high-pitched ringing in the ears all sorts of things medical experts say like it could be other things though so don't get it twisted but they're saying that um it's essentially for those who are trying to sleep and relax the brain produces theta waves ranging from four to eight

hurts turns out the earth is vibrating at 7.83 so we are right in there we kind of like get in tune with the planet when we're listening to the plant to guy's heartbeat yeah this i mean the shuman reference is in so much wooey like crystally stuff yeah you're right yeah it's very like again it's very like okay all right uh both solar wind and solar flares which sends super hot gas made of electrons and protons hurling across the solar system compress and ripple Earth's magnetic field upon impact. You've ever seen one of those magnetic field kind of diagrams? It is almost terrifying because you realize like, oh, we're that, oh boy, we're one bad day away

from everything on Earth being vaporized. Yep. This extreme weather in space impacts the ionosphere by suddenly adding more charged particles to its composition, throwing off its normal electrical conductivity and making this resonance and the waves then it bounce more intensely. The human brains produce their own electrical waves, which change based on what you're doing. And since this resonance, the Schumann residence is all over the place right now, people are saying it's really affecting the way people's brains function and how people sleep and how people, you know, even wake up or work through the day. And so, uh, it's currently

we're just going through a thing with the sun and planet Earth and all sorts of stuff. When did that start? Like late 2016? Uh, yeah, like, more like, as according to this, um, it's, it started, yeah, January 2017, it looks like, yeah. Whoa, okay, yeah, yeah. Wow. That's really accurate. It's really specific. But yeah, but yeah, apparently, um, it is a thing, but the article repeatedly says, or maybe it's not. You know what I mean? How fun. Cool.

What a fun thing for an article about something to keep saying. Yeah. But I thought that was interesting because I know a lot of people have been commenting that they've been feeling all sorts of weird lately. And I don't know. Maybe that's an answer. Is the Schumann residence solar flare affecting your aura? Listen to Chulamani.

It'll fix it. Don't worry. Or we're ready to believe you. Motorery is in retrograde. Yes, exactly. All right, boys. I'll wrap us up with a couple quick things. The first thing is two more scientists have been connected now to this missing scientist thing.

One dropped yesterday. I figured you were going to talk about that. It's starting to get weird. I saw the article and was like, oh, boy, math is going to talk about it. It's another guy who's working in the same aerodynamic industry, connected to the same government stuff, who at age 46 just left his house. with his pistol and vanished. That's crazy. I don't really know.

Like, there's not much to say about it, but an update, there's more people showing up. It's starting to get picked up by bigger news sources now. I don't know. I don't know what really does nothing to think about, I guess.

It's just fucking weird. Like, we just got to see what that ends up being when somebody eventually looks into it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So with that update out of the way, the other thing I want to talk about today is a UFO video that came

out from one of the worst sources I could possibly imagine, but the story behind it is believable enough. Logan Paul, have you, to give you some background, there's a man by the name of Chuck Clark who has a video of when he and his friends were driving around in the 90s and the car, where the cars get stopped, they see a UFO, they're like taping it, and it's, people have seen the tape, but he's refused to release it to the public. People have offered him a ton of money to buy the tape. he refused to do it.

Logan Paul offered him $300,000 for it, and he turned him down to give him the tape. But because James Fox, one of the bigger UFO, he was an air pilot for the military and all that stuff, he's seen it, and he's described the video on the Joe Rogan podcast at one point to Joe Rogan, basically explaining what I just explained to you. It's friends driving.

They're like posing next to a sign, next to a small inn, just like road trip buddies, and then this thing happens. Right. Through Joe Rogan, Logan Paul figures that hears about it, and he weasels his way

and to meet up with Chuck Barris and see it. It's when he offered him the money. He said no, but he'd let him see it. Well, he also secretly recorded it on his phone when it was happening. And over a year ago,

on the Joe Rogan podcast, he said that, he admitted to it, and he's like, what can I say, I'm a sneaky little fuck. And two days ago, that video came out,

and I forget what the reason was, but that video was released. And the people have seen the video from Chuck Clark have confirmed that that what he leaked is part of the video that they've seen. And I'm going to give you boys a YouTube link, which should just pick up right when the clip picks up. So you can see it's 90s, it's dark out, and this orange disc kind of comes down and does a very stereotypical UFO wobble.

Oh, so they're like in the car, there's the dash. And they're like... They're stopped at this point. Yeah, they're looking out Is this real? Yes Keep quiet At a point

They say get down, get down Because they're getting scared They say keep quiet And you see this orange glow The film's all staticy He says the battery is getting low But it doesn't the camera doesn't cut And then it cuts in these

He pans up and you see An orange disc That camera totally cuts It glitches Upscaled I don't know I mean like I don't Well then there's this upscale

I don't know How big any of this is Right It's supposed to be out the front window Of the car in the air To me This looks almost like it's Tracked onto this television

Like my editor My editor sense Yeah In me says It looks like a 2D video That's mapped onto the surface of the television and the footage. I'm just looking at the edges of the footage

and that's what it looks like to me. But the weirdest part is that there's some sort of up-resed version that he cuts to for a second. I just don't understand. At the beginning, it's clearly in the car and it's them hiding in the car, get down. But then the camera pans down, but it's the sky. Like, I don't understand that shot.

The camera moves down. and then suddenly we're in this guy. So either it's a cut to this. Oh, okay. Hang on. Does this answer your question actually? Because you're right. It does look very, very weird.

Like, because we're seeing a bunch of orange lights. And then there's like a glitch down and there's another orange light. And everyone's like, that's the disc. That's the disc. But that it's so low res. And it could be like a light artifact. Yeah. And then it cuts.

He didn't give this away for three. hundred thousand dollars yeah but the fact that they're like yeah you can see it wobble yeah it's wobbling like that's what okay like all right it is the fact that everyone is excited about this the most trustworthy a person uh logan paul obviously the most trustworthy of the pauls i don't know which they both suck right like i don't know can't trust it this is like coming out and uh it's worth us mentioning because the supposed source. So bizarre. I want somebody to talk to me about why that's not tracked onto that footage.

If somebody can do that, if somebody can tell me why that looks like that and the answer is not that it's tracked on to that, like, like, just like you guys know what I mean by that, right? Yes. Yes.

I know exactly what you mean. It just looks like TV from a TV show. Yeah. I don't know what to say. It doesn't look great. You know, the edges when the camera moves. There's just so much wrong with it.

And the fuzz on the, like the noise on the, on the footage looks kind of suss to. Yeah, like almost like it's a filter. Yeah. Like, and like the UI of the camera and the UI of the like the, not the UI of the camera, but the like editing on the video is weird. Like the way the words are on the footage. The subtitles, there's a misspelling. Like it's so fucking. weird, man.

Yeah, the whole, quite, or whatever that was. I was like, oh, yeah, that was a weird subtext. I think that might have been from the fucking YouTube channel. I don't really know. Just fucking the weirdest shit ever, man. Yeah, anyway, missing scientists are more interesting than that, but UFOs, they still out there, boys. The missing scientists is the wild.

They run off into the woods with their gun? Every time. And a knife? All in the same, like, shit, all working in the same sphere all within the same amount of time. It's so weird. Yeah, that's really starting to get weird. I don't know. The world is getting weird, man.

Like Terrence McKenna said, that shit is starting to feel a little bit weird here on this earth. Yeah, just a bit. Thank you all so much for listening to the show. We'll be back next week at the brand new Minnesota area, Patreon.com slash Illuminati Pod. We appreciate you. We love you.

Goodbye. Goodbye. I love you, Kay. Bye.
