The Confessionals - 716: Living UFOs

Episode Date: December 24, 2024

In episode 716: Living UFOs, guest hosts, The Great and Powerful Mr.E and Jay Clone #27 from the Cryptids of the Corn podcast, dive into the mysterious realm of living UFOs, revealing creatures that defy imagination. From translucent manta rays drifting gracefully above us to jellyfish-like entities capable of outmaneuvering fighter jets, these sky-dwellers may be the key to understanding the unexplained. Yet, as bizarre reports of raining bones and bioluminescent giants emerge, one question looms: what else is lurking in the vast ocean above our heads?Cryptids of the Corn:Apple | Spotify | WebsiteHurricane Helene Relief Efforts List: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/helene-reliefSasquatch and The Missing Man: merkelfilms.comMerkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.comThe Confessionals Members App:Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrhGoogle Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZBecome a member for AD FREE listening and EXTRA shows: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinAFFILIATESGo Silent with SLNT Faraday Bags: https://alnk.to/clXuRY5EMP Shield: empshield.com Coupon Code: "tony" for $50 off every item you purchase!SPONSORSSIMPLISAFE TODAY: simplisafe.com/confessionalsUNCOMMON GOODS: uncommongoods.com/tonyGHOSTBED: GhostBed.com/tonyCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: [e-mail] to the Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/the-newsletterMAILING ADDRESS:Merkel Media257 N.

Merkel Media This was all circulating around the base that a giant had to kill but no one was supposed to talk about it I saw three long, boning fingers reach up underneath the door curl up to grab it and then disappear

When he came over to me Dude he slithered over to me And this giant comes out of the cave And they're all frozen And he starts running and firing up this giant moves. He's got a spear in one hand, and he's running really fast. And spears, Dan, holds him up like this.

Somebody else, shoot him in the face, shoot him in the face. They basically decapitated. And I look over, and there are two small, getting pulled off the best bush, and it couldn't move because I know I'm seeing a monster. Hey, guys, continuing from last week, we are taking some time off around the office here, but we have some guest co-hosts for you. Jay and Justin from Cryptos of the Corn came down from Ohio to record this episode for you. This is a fun conversation. So let's get to Jay and Justin from Cryptas of the Corn right now. Welcome back to the Confessionals podcast. I am the great and powerful

mystery. And I'm Jay Clone 27. And this doesn't look like our studio. Well, we're in a different place. It's a lot nicer. You know, it's nicer than our studio. It's nicer than that shack we keep hearing about. Mm-hmm. This is great. So we're Grybz of Corn podcast. We're taking over for the second in a row, the confessionals for a week. So Tony can go relax and enjoy his family. Last time I heard, I think he's somewhere in the northern mountains. Yeah. Searching dog man, Bigfoot, those kind of things. Well, you know, he's a busy man doing busy things. And you're spending time with his family. It's good that you spend that quality time you need with other people in your life. It's good. It's good. It's a break from work.

It's super hard work and they're always doing something. So they need to relax in a bit and go just enjoy the family. Well, I'm glad we could provide this outlet for him, you know, so we can't escape for once. You know, it's good. We're super honored that he asked again. I mean, it's, it's amazing time. It really is. We enjoy it thoroughly.

Very honored. So hopefully you guys are ready. Oh, hopefully you're ready. Hopefully. I was wondering who you were, I forgot there's a camera right there. I know. I'm not used to cameras either. All right.

I don't know. I'm just used to looking at you. This is the first time we've ever been filmed. Yeah, no, it's a lot. It's a little different. Yeah. So, welcome. Welcome.

So, what do we got today? Well, we are in studio going to discuss a very important topic that you, Mr. E, just wrote a book about. Yeah. But before we get rock and rolling into that subject, living UFOs, why don't you tell everybody where they can listen to our show? You can find us on Crypts of the Corn podcast. Well, anywhere you listen to podcasts. that you just search that. You'll find this.

But on cryptocorne.com, you can find all of our information, all of our links, and all of our episodes. And we have a member space there. We have a Patreon space, which is what? Crips of the corn forward or is it slash,

forward slash anything. You'll find it. You'll find it. You'll find it. You'll find it. And search cryptids of the corn. We'll be there. Cryptids.

Of the corn. Of the corn. Yes. Like children, but cryptids. Yep. So, yeah, Tony asked us to come back again.

We're super honored. No, seriously. you know, all the joking and stuff aside. We love Tony to death. Tony's helped us out dramatically over the years, and this is a true honor to do this again. In studio this time.

In studio. It's amazing, yes. And it's a lot better, I mean, quality and stuff like that. So like Jay said, I just came out with a book, Living UFOs, The Ocean Above Our Head, a study of atmospheric biology. You can get it cryptidsofthecorn.com under the books tab. If you're internationally, you can get it on Amazon.

And last time we were here last year, we gave a more basic intro into the subject of getting into these things. Organic UFOs. We talked about the mountain ranges. We talked about the layers of the atmosphere. Maybe we'll go over that again real quick, just the snippets of it. But what do you think? I mean, we've been doing this topic for three years.

Just about three years. And it's crazy to see how it comes to fruition. The book has been in talks for, I mean, almost the whole time since you first brought up the subject, messaging and calling my phone. saying they're all mushrooms, they're all mushrooms, talking about UFOs, that is. And, uh, but we, you know, we took that slice of what we think UFOs are and we think, you know, maybe somewhere between five, and this is all speculation, five to 10% are that living creatures. This, this atmosphere above us is full of life. You know, life finds a way. What is, is that Dr. Ian Malcolm? It is Dr. Ian Malcolm. It is Dr. Ian Malcolm.

Yes, life from Jurassic Park. Correct. Life finds a way, you know, that soft disclosure in Hollywood, we've found a space of where life, you know, can exist. There's a big opening. It's the largest biome on Earth. A literal ocean above our heads. I mean, the title is not satire or anything linked out. It is a zone. The book covers it, and we talked about it last year, so I'll just briefly touch on it again. We live in what's called the troposphere. It kind of ends at 10 miles above that's the stratosphere, and that goes from like 10-ish to like 35-ish-ish-mile-ish miles. And then above that is the mesosphere. So we were all taught in school that the higher you go in the atmosphere, the colder it gets. And that's not true, kind of true. It depends on what

layers you're looking at. So as you go up in the troposphere where we live and keep my everybody at home, commercial jet liners don't leave this zone. For the viewers, I'll try to send the link over for the picture. Commercial jet, we have very, very few aviation pieces of technology that leave the troposphere. You know, the 10 miles because it's above the ozone layer. So as you go up, it gets colder, colder, colder. Once you cross the troposphere into the stratosphere, it starts getting warmer again. And there's 35, 45 miles up where it meets the mesosphere is like 50 degrees and full of liquid water.

So it's an ocean. And like J.R.D. said it is the biggest single biome on the planet that has had so little research done in. We talked about the NASA studies last year. were basically the synopsis of that is that NASA investigated with these devices to grow bacteria and stuff where they were expecting to find

about 14 species of life and they ended up finding over 14,000. Yeah, that's a little bit more. And they think it was more because the things and started eating the other things in the collection device, pretty much every biological

clade of life besides vertebrates was found, had a representative up there. That means they're, we're going to talk jellyfish. Yeah, what does that mean? Like, give me some examples.

Jellyfish. That means a jellyfish cousin. Okay. That means like an actual jellyfish you would think of in the ocean. Correct. Their family group is massive, though. So it has a member, fungus, several invertebrates. I mean, even insect species were found up there.

So they actually, and then they found plankton. We found aeroplankton. So plankton that lives in, which plankton is a catch-all term for microbe and macro organisms that are in big, clouds. So it can be algae in the ocean, it's algae and baby crustaceans and microorganisms as big as they get in larval fish and eggs. So there's actual aeroplankton in the sky that some companies in the Middle East are actually using as fuel. They're harvesting it right now and using it as fuel. And we did a whole episode called Aeroplankton. You can look that up.

Obviously, you're going to plug a lot of our stuff during this because we've done a lot of work on this subject. Well, yeah, it all overlaps. It all ties in. Yeah. It plays an important role. And, you know, us doing this for two years now, just this subject in particular, two to three, I can't remember when exactly it started. It was, I'm going to say it's three. Close to the beginning of when we started podcasting, but just doing that so long, it's uncovered more and more and more and more pieces of the puzzle are falling in.

And I'm with you on this. Because at first I was a little skeptical when you first presented this idea to me. But the more and more we just go over it. It just makes so much more sense. So we're getting ready to start talking. This episode, I really wanted to go into the types. Because last year, we didn't, we just barely touched on the types. So I wanted to give the types.

I wanted to talk about the respective biology with them. And I wanted to give encounters with all of them. And you've heard all of these, but I think one. Oh, exciting. I want to play a fun game for this episode. Okay. I'm going to give you one of the types. and I want you to give your definition, your explanation, like, of the type.

And then I'll read what I have. Now you're really testing my memory. Well, no, I think you're going to do fine. I think it's always fun that one of the jokes we do at conferences and stuff like that is you describe what I used to do for a living. Oh, that's pretty fun. Because it's 80% right. Yeah, I get most of it there. And when we have biologists come up to the table and stuff like that, that was really funny.

Oh, we just had one where it was, I won't name the aquarium, a large aquarium worker. and you were describing her stuff that I did. And she's like, I know what those, yeah, like, I know what those words mean. I do this. And it's like, I was not at the table. Right. I walked up. Thank goodness, because I realized quickly I was very much out of my element.

So first one, this is probably my favorite type, the manorays. So why don't you give a general overview of the manorays? So why don't you kind of give what their looks, your sizes, that kind of stuff that, you remember. So from what I remember, I always go back to my very first experience with these or learning about these, which was the Ohio River Manoray, that famous account. And that one, I don't remember roughly the size, but, you know, six to, I don't just guess, and six to ten feet wide. That was like the size of car. The body, the main body was size of car. Right. Smaller, but they can go anywhere up to the size of like a Boeing. So gigantic, but anywhere within that

range. They're translucent. We're speculative, speculating that they could be filter feeders, but they're big, graceful, slow-moving, slow-moving, translucent creatures. So I'll read you what I have. All right. The group of sightings collectively known as the, they basically match well-known sea creatures of manorays. They may fill the same niches in the upper atmosphere as whales fill in our oceans, or manorays do too, these massive, like you mentioned, filter feeders. Their appearance is superficial of that of the manoray, differing from their ocean counterparts. This group is often humongous being reported as the size of 747s. So like you said, the Boeing's. There we go. You know, three, four hundred feet long sometimes, you know, wider than that for some of our bigger ones. And they have close to translucent skin. So some of our witnesses we had on the show that we've talked to and many of the accounts in the book describe when they're up close, they have this bluish tinge. And you can kind of see some that Oregon's inside, but far away, they appear to be translucent. Because we had some people tell their accounts they had seen the stars behind them through them.

Yeah, like looking through clear jelly is the best way that some of those people, like you can see the background. But it's not like the predator thing where it's a little distorted. It's still pretty distorted when you're up close. You can tell there's flesh there. They have been seen slowly flapping their quote-unquote wings. but the motion has little effect on their loft abilities. So this seems to be more steering. By that I mean, they appear to float,

and when they flap their wing appendages, they're not propelling themselves with it. They're not flapping like a bird. They're not doing that. They're more likely just steering with them. So they probably have gaseous chambers inside their body. In fish and aquatic organisms, we call these swimbladders, where it's a big gas-filled organ

that will fill up with body-made gases to help with buoyancy. And some animals, some fish will burp up gases to sink or they have other means of doing this. But with pressure changes, they can swell. So I think that these guys have a similar chamber that their huge mass of bodies

are more like a hot air balloon. Not that they're hot inside. They're capturing or like a blimp or a zeppelin. They have a lighter-than-air gas inside that they are probably producing. And they float in the air. And they just kind of steer with their wings. So they're more buoyant than they're around them, basically.

Yeah. And we've heard all these encounters. We've talked about them tons of tons of times. These guys never seem to be moving that fast. Several of the encounters we've had on, what do they always say? It's a sense of all. Right. Like seeing a whale.

Like seeing a whale. They talk about that a lot. And they're huge. And nobody's ever been scared of these things. These creatures, like I said, use their wings to steer while their bladders raising lower in the air. They're evidence that they're very slow and there's peaceful emotions. the behavior reminds us heavily of open ocean filter feeders. So we've already compared to whales and manorays.

That these guys, the way they maneuver, the way they swim through the air, the way that they carry themselves seems very, very reminiscent of the ocean animals, of the filter feeders. And that's called Co-Virgin Evolution. And I remember when we first started talking about the Ohio River Manoray, you talked about that figure eight motion it was seen flying in. Makes perfect sense. It's a filter feeding pattern.

Yep. We'll talk about that. I'll actually bring up that story here in a minute. They have been known, also have large bioluminescent organs on their bodies. So the manorates have been described as everything from being just the rough manoray shape with the wings, sometimes a short tail, sometimes long tail in the head,

to having patches on their bodies that are bioluminescent to having hanging biluminescent organs. So you get the variety. They may be able to attract these things, biolumicic organs and most sea animals can turn on and off. some animals produce it themselves and some others hold bacterial colonies inside their body and trigger biolmissant remarks from like dropping sugars to these colonies and stuff

these lights can lead to a bit of confusion for metallic craft until observers get close to inspect like they look we talk about some of the lights look triangular where you have the triangle UFOs not all of these are these things I think it's mostly the other things but they have a pattern that's kind of similar

So until they get right overhead, and like we've already said, people see in the jelly, like, looking through them with the lights. They kind of hold a similar pattern. They are often doing, like we've already said, these large figure eight motions. This is an effective use of sea animals for filter feeding. Why you do this figure eight patterns is when you come back around, the swirl will be right in your face. So if you're filter feeding, you want to push as much air or water, depending on where you are, through your gills, through your feeding mechanisms. to kind of jet stream those things. So when you do these big figure eight patterns,

there's a swirl of food essentially waiting for you to come back. It's hyper-efficient. We believe these animals are using the same technique as their ocean counterparts. Encounters with these behemoths are often related to storm systems and air pressure fluctuations. These creatures do not seem to opponent just direct threat to humans as far as you notice,

and they don't really seem to notice our presence at all. And a lot of people have that experience with manorais in the ocean. they're so big they just they don't care no they're just doing their thing yeah they just really don't care uh so do you remember that one for the most part the however main array yeah yeah for the most part i know it had uh the significant part of that story was it had two separate sets of witnesses yep um which i believe were seen at on two different nights or was it was it was the same and i'm gonna try to remember right mm-hmm keep mind we've done hundreds and hundreds of these encounters This was one of the first ones we've ever did.

I believe it was the same night over different counties. One was a father or sorry, a mother and a daughter and the other one was an older couple. They both reported to separate police stations. Correct. That was the important part. They both separately reported it to separate police stations that didn't communicate at first. Like one got one and told the other one, they were two separate stories. So cooperation made it, you know, validated it.

it. What they seen was a Manoray shaped creature, and by that I mean the rough body shape. We have tons of pictures in the books of sketches and stuff where the rough kind of head tail shapers off and these big wings. They were seeing one of these creatures, no eyes or nothing like that,

doing these figure eights over the Ohio River and I believe it was March. I'm trying to remember on top of my head. And there are insect hatches coming off the river at that time. So we theorize it may have been feeding on hatching insects off the Ohio River. And the witnesses described it then after it was done and started

gently going back up towards the upper atmosphere. And like you already said that this was reported by two different people or two different groups of people that did not know each other two separate sheriff stations all along the Ohio River. And the one, the mother and daughter, I believe they also reported the other

people had stopped and pulled over and were looking at this thing and they never did. They never, at least, you know, reported it. Okay, gotcha. Now, we have one. This one is actually in the next book. So the book two. I always though the Manoray

ovipositor. Okay. So I have, I'm going to read an encounter. A Kentucky resident is driving late at night when they observe a huge translucent manoray-shaped entity flying above them. And here's the actual, it's from Burnside, Kentucky. My daughter called me around

1.20 a.m. to inform me that her issue is in the ER with a kidney stone. She requested I come to the hospital and take her home. As she had already passed the stone, but given quite a bit of pain medication was vise not to drive. I picked her up from the hospital and I took her home. She assured me that she would be fine and went to sleep as when we needed or she would

need to go to work in the next morning. So she was sleeping in the car. I drove about 6 to 7 miles home, pulled into my driveway and got out of the car. It was about 3 a.m. I looked about all those stars in the sky, noting their beauty and suddenly above me, I heard a shush sound. Directly above me about 50. to 100 feet off the ground.

I looked up to see something both beautiful and terrifying at the same time. There was a large stingray-shaped entity, slowly pulsating as it flew above me. It was larger than my house, which is a 2,500 square foot house. I know that I could see the stars through the body, although in the outline was clearly visible. So talking about that where you can see through the jelly, but you can still see the animal too. It did not fly as a bird flies, but rather it undulated slowly its body along and perfectly synchronized manners. So this general pulse of the animal. My house sits about 150 feet from my neighbor's house.

Its shape covered the space between the houses. It was quite wide. As it undulated, I could see hanging down from its back or something was something that looked like a tail or maybe a leg or legs held together. I could not be sure as it continued to move as I watched it transfixed. It made no other sound attempts, the initial swoosh than when I looked up. I think it wanted me to see it. I felt that as I watched it until it disappeared across the farm fields in the back of the neighbor's home. There were no odors or lights associated with my sightings except the stars.

At no time did I feel it intended to harm me and even believed that it disappeared from sight. I felt frozen in amazement. I could not sleep when I went to bed. Even now, I gave it the stars still hoping to see. see it again. That's nice. And that's a common sentiment with these guys. Yeah.

We have dozens and dozens and dozens. I'm probably hundreds of encounters these. These are one of the more common types. I guess at large. The sense of all that's associated with them is really, really impressive. We've talked to plenty of eyewitnesses. We've had a bunch of Australians like come on our show and share encounters with this type.

And send us videos. And we have a video of one. Yeah. And these guys, know, they've, again, this is all speculation for the most part. We do know there's life up there, according to NASA's say. They did retrieve life. But these guys would be considered a cryptid.

Yes. You know, by the definition, you know, there's three different types of cryptids that fall into the cryptid moniker. But these guys, it would be like seeing a big foot or something for the first time or for the only time. You get to see one. It's going to be either scary or just an awe-inspiring thing. That's just what I imagine. I mean, we've had an episode Robbins encounter.

Jellyfish tried to eat me. Yeah. That was a more scary one. Right, exactly, yeah. I think that's the name of the top. I think that's the name of the episode too. That's the only reason I add it in there. It's either going to be scary or just all.

But 90% of them are all just, wow. And that's, especially with that type, like the Blue Mountains of Australia, these guys are often, often associated with mountain ranges. And I mentioned earlier that a lot of times, there's storms or huge air pressure fluctuations. So we think that these guys are big, gentle gliders. We think that they maybe travel across the country.

So California Condors, for example, they used to start on the west coast, fly across the plains, and when they would get to Appalachian Mountains, they would ride up on the thermal vents, get back over and fly back over to that side of the country. To the west? Yeah, to the west, and keep doing these big patterns.

I think these guys are probably following us. similar thing. So basically, when the air is coming across the U.S., once it hits the Appalachians, it creates this big elevator of air straight up. And I think these guys are riding it. So these guys are heavily associated with mountain ranges, whether it's the East Coast, West Coast, Australia, Scandinavia. It's, uh, and not always, there's a couple that we've talked about, Louisiana and Florida. They're also associated with water. So the thing, the leg thing hanging off it, uh, it very much sounds like what we call an ovipositor. So what's that? So in insects and invertebrates, an ovipositor is an organ that is designed to lay and deposit eggs.

So crickets, crickets have that, people think it's a stinger of that big long tail. Yeah. That's an ovipositor. They actually poke in the ground to lay eggs under the ground. And that's just the females? Yes. Okay. So that's a good way of sex or cricket, if you ever need to do that.

Oh, if you're ever in that situation. Yeah. It happens. Life happens. It's easier than, you know, I ding a sand shiner. It is. It is much easier than I ding. sand shiner.

So these guys, I have a theory in the next book's going to tackle this, envelop this a lot more, that I think they're still reproducing with water in some way, shape, or form. We've talked about tons of dents of star jelly events and egg spawn events and all this weird stuff. Kentucky Meat Shower. Like Kentucky Meat Shower, the Alaskan egg, you know. Oh, yeah.

With it rain down, was it like eggs like red or orangeish? Yellow. Yellow. Right yellow eggs. Yeah. So I think that it was maybe depositing eggs or young or something or reproducing. It could have been some other sexual organ. Just because we don't see them a lot with these encounters.

And she was describing it as hanging way down below it. And I feel like if it was a more common thing, it probably is retractable. All invertebrates are like crickets. Most of them aren't where they don't have their oviposers or reproductive, you know, they don't have them just hanging out because they can get damage. Right, yeah. So I kind of think that she may have witnessed it and maybe given birth. And when we did this episode with this one, I think it was called Manoray Mayhem.

Was the episode this is from? Perhaps. We looked it up in right behind her house because I didn't give the full address, but I have a very close neighborhood. There is a pond and a major river. And it seems like that was the direction. It was coming from that first. Wush, sheard. Could have been one big flap just to get it up, high enough.

I wasn't going to run into the houses or anything like that. Right. Because, you know, like we speculate with these guys. They're not meant to be down here in our part of the atmosphere. At least not for long periods of time. Right. These ones in particular and like the bigger they get probably aren't supposed to be down here. And with those storm systems coming in, they get knocked down.

And they have a very hard time getting back up. And I think that, you know, that's when people get in their sightings or their witnesses or, you know. So I'm not, basically I'm saying this thing, yeah, could have been reproducing. It could have been doing something like that, but it could have been injured knocked down. And that was its attempt, its last swoosh, to get back up or something. So, and then I want to say something with that, because I agree with you. But then somebody would say, let's say, well, then if they're not designed to be down here, why would they be you're producing down here?

So we can look at sea turtles. Okay, perfectly adapted, perfectly designed specifically leatherback sea turtles. Do not leave the water. No. Where do they go lay their eggs? Land. Yep. They drag their carcasses.

on the land and if you ever see sea turtles especially like logger heads some of the bigger species They're massive And leatherbacks are just Another whole different thing It struggles

And a lot of them die Just even trying to lay their eggs Yeah So we in the book we do that a lot And in our episodes we do this a lot There's tons and tons of natural comparisons To make decryptids and other things You still happy we pick this topic

Oh absolutely You pick this topic Yeah I mean I just I just think this is a topic that is starting to grow. It's going to grow. And I just think it's an important thing to talk about and cover. Because there's not enough people.

There's nobody out there talking about this stuff. Yep. So that was the first type. It's probably my favorite type out of all this. Just because there's a ton and ton and ton of sightings with it. And we have some really, really old sightings, 16,700 sightings of these guys. And I just, I don't know. I think that's the one I want to see.

Oh, that's, okay. That's your big. basically. Yeah. Yeah. If you haven't heard, I've seen a big foot. It was last year

on the confessionals, we talked to Tony about it. Mm-hmm. The last time we were down here. Mm-hmm. All right. Are you ready for the next one? Absolutely.

Sky squids. Okay, and these are the fun ones. These are the weird ones. They get weird. I mean, absolutely. We get to throwing up clouds later and everything like that.

Mm-hmm. So give me your definition. What does sky squids look like at you? So sky squids, I don't, I mean, they follow the body. This is a rarer type.

This is a rarer type. And we think they follow the body plan of the squid, you know, with the tentacles and the two longer appendages. I don't know if there's tentacles or not. I'm sure they got a different name that you would correct me on. I'm sure. I mean. Okay. But anyways, I think these are those, they're gigantic.

They're very long, very tall. And the Russians had them on video camera. The sea angels, the sky angels. Yes. So I, that's the. I didn't put that one's in the book, but I didn't. I think that's either in this book or the second book. That's the image in my head I get when I think of...

I picked a different Russian squid for the encounter. Oh, all right. So Russians, they got a lot of sky squids, huh? Well, it's a massive country. Yeah, it is. It is. It's a quarter of the northern hemisphere. That's true.

Fair enough. I mean, but, no, so very right. The one I always compare to is blanket octopus. Okay. Because it has two arms or, you know, so it's a different stanical in arms, but it doesn't really matter for anybody at home. They have two arms that unfurl these,

massive capes. And blanket octopus are just absolutely famous for mimicking everything. They'll look like sea turtles. They'll look like people swimming. There's several accounts of people drowning, trying to save a person that ended up being a blanket octopus out in the open ocean.

Because they mimic the human shape. So you look down the deep and you see what looks like a person down there. So you dive to try to save me and you drown it turns into an octopus and it's like whatever. So these sky squids seem to have a very similar shape to these ocean blanket octopus. in the form they're very pliable and they change shape rapidly.

But they do have a couple forms they seem to favor. The first one is this triangular shape, which resembles a kite without the streamers. Sorry, a kite without the streamers. The second one is very octopodal in shape. So octopause, you know, squid. We talk about the mantle with several tentacles or arms behind it. By this, I mean, it's classical, you know, squid shape, the long tube head,

the tentacles below the head. the final form commonly seen is this kite with what appears to be two flowing long arms or tails so this would be like the blanket octopus and if you guys at home never seen a blanket octopus I don't know if I could put one above my head but I highly suggest you Google it not about that head, not about the corn head

it's the hat of knowledge it's the hat of knowledge I'll take it I'll accept that it may make me laugh in the form they often are seen in pairs indicating this may be a breeding display So a lot of these encounters with these big blankets seem to be one or two or more animals. So at least, you know, these two.

So that kind of indicates that it may be either a territorial display, a breeding display. It's a social display, at least in some way, shape, or form. In this form, they are often seen, like I said, in pairs. Their flight abilities are particularly coolers, similar to like manorays. They seem to use what it appears to be a swim bladder like organ to maintain altitude, using their fins to steer. They also seem to be able to floral their fins and tails to become overweight, in shape to gain speed when necessary.

So there's tentacles in these big blankets that they deploy. They look like they can pull them in and we've actually have some witnesses of that from commercial jetline pilots see these guys a lot. Well, they'll pull in their bodies and become more just a big ovoid. Like a big tube. Yeah, just a big tube of meat and they'll go fly.

What? This is a big tube of meat. A big tube of meat. We kind of theorize that these guys is possible niche in the upper atmosphere of the food chain. Maybe a medium level predator. We'll talk about some of the maybe Apex predators. later. Their bodies in the witness are two-fold. First of their bodies

are, like the tubular state with the tentacles, structure hanged off. They're often, these guys are often transparent or mostly transparent. Other witnesses accidentally see them due to their camouflage trailer. The most common type is on full display. Their large, flat, kite-like bodies, the two long tentacles structures, trailing behind them.

They're most often two creatures, like I said. So yeah, what do you think, I mean, what do you think about these guys? We have, when we did the research for the book and pulling some of the accounts out of the library at Congress. There were some amazing accounts, but some of the videos that are very just odd. They're weird to look at.

They're very weird to look at. And the best way to describe what this thing could be is this right here, this description right here. I mean, just because it checks most of the boxes of what you're seeing on film. It's nuts. These things are huge and weird. So the encounter we're going to use is from Belarus. Oh, okay.

Several unnamed air pilots And I believe they did give their names But we didn't put any names in the book You can Google and find this stuff You really want to 1985 and 1999 were the encounters

In 1985 a pilot encountered En route to Tallinn Witness a cigar-shaped UFO With trailing tentacles flying overhead So he's in the cockpit And watching a UFO with tentacles Going over top of him The pilot aboard the craft said

the creature was blue and red in color, are brighter than clouds around it, with a very smooth asymmetrical body, was slightly transparent. In the moving in and out of the northwestern direction, climbing to the upper atmosphere, both pilots in the cockpit claimed

that the craft had a slight glow or phosphorescence to it. The object made no noise and was moving at incredible speed until it vanished at very, very high altitudes. So like I said, these guys, most of these commercial airline pilots don't ever leave the troposphere.

They don't ever leave our layer. So this thing was seen buzzing overhead really fast at an upward angle as it was disappearing into the upper layers. In 1999, a very similar creature was seen by two pilots flying in the same route. Almost matching the exact description of the first creature, when later shown pictures, they said it looked like a gigantic glass squid. And we'll talk about that animal in a minute. This creature again had a blue and red light. It was slightly transparent body, which was higher and higher into the atmosphere. Why it said that there was no aircraft that could go that high

In the object or the creature during the time While the appearance in the altitude were both noted With this very strange sighting So the glass squid They have a humongous head or mantle So their eyes and stuff is right at the body section But they have a humongous mantle Almost no fins, it's pretty transparent

They have tiny little tentacles and big eyes right at the base Oh, okay And why they're called glass squids is because they're mostly transparent. Besides their eyes. And they're actually, this whole big mantle has almost no organs in it. And they keep their organs right by their eyes.

Oh, wow. So you have a big body and not be showing off. So when the pilots were kind of going through and researching and trying to find animals or anything that kind of looks similar, this is one that really stuck out to them. It looked very, very similar to a glass squid. Interesting.

Imagine seeing a glass squid going like Mach 10. Right. Pass you flying the airplane. Yeah. Looking out, I'm like, well, that was weird. I shouldn't look up. There's bright lights in here. I think we better land this thing.

All right. But yeah, I mean, that's the sky squids. They're a much more rare encounter. But you were saying something about lights? They were seeing lights on it. Yeah, they had spots of bioluminescent. Okay. Or they said phosphorescence because they didn't,

they thought it was like, they didn't know it was flares. They didn't. Well, you weren't close enough to see. Yeah. They're an airplane. It's moving, you know, Mach 10. Right. Yeah.

Or whatever. They said it was moving incredible speeds. It's just, you know, squid have bioluminescence. 100%. Or what's the right word? Is that right? Bioluminescence, yes. Okay.

They have that, you know. And if these creatures are alive in our atmosphere and you see those blinking lights in the sky that are hard to explain that don't look like an airplane light, doesn't necessarily already have to be, automatically have to be a UFO, a craft. It could be just a creature because it already exists in the ocean. They're already doing this. You look down in the water and you see you doing the same exact thing. I just feel like it's not too far of a stretch to make that association with some of the lights we see in the sky. I want to say again, I want to make it very clear that when we say squid and manoray, we are not saying actual squid. We're using the rough body plant of those sea animals.

So when we say sky squid, I do not think they're related to squid. Right, right, right. I think it's Covergent Evolution, which is the phenomena or two separate unrelated animals, will fit to the same rough body plan to do roughly the same niche, which is the job of the environment. So, like I said, these guys are probably medium-level predators, like squid in the ocean, even though they're incredibly fast. Next one.

Now, here's a fun word, and you can explain to everybody what it means. Oh, good. The sky cyanophores. Oh, okay. Yeah, the sky snakes. Yeah, yeah. So now, is that how you said it were cyanophores? Sanifor, Sanifor.

Sanifonophores. Sefonophores. Siphonophore. Now listen. We're looking word. I've heard it pronounced by biologists. Yes. Study these guys.

Different ways. So we're going to go with cyanophore. I go to cyanophore. I've heard syphonophores. I've heard all kinds of different ways to pronounce it by biologists that work with these animals. And what these are is they're a colonial organism. It's multiple tiny little things linking together to make one big thing. And each, they can link together and do separate body parts,

basically. So my best example is the man-of-war jellyfish. Not a jellyfish. I was taught that on this show. It's not a jellyfish. It's one of these things. Cyanophores, that's the word we're using. It's multiple, multiple, small. Tens of thousands of little animals.

Creating the body plant of the jellyfish, essentially. Creating the mantle, creating the tentacles. But they're just little things. And some, that's a more common one like you said, it looks very jellyfish-esque. There are some cyanophores in the deep ocean that look straight up alien. They have giant hanging organs and balloons and dragging and they look like, they look like several of animals flying a kite, which is another animal. Yeah. And they have organs, like they have special animals that just do the digesting. They have all animals members of the colony that just do the digesting. So when we talk about sky santafores, aka sky snakes, we are looking at these guys, and I'm not talking about rods. I want to make that very clear. I don't know rods in this book. that their biology can be very confusing.

So this group can have very confusing biology to look at with eyes in their mouths, multiple undulating pairs of fins and what looks like hair, partially transparent bodies, and very, very hard to define heads. By that I mean, it's very hard to look at these animals and go, that's the head, that's, you know, because what we're talking about with cyanophores,

these ocean animals, that their biology is just so alien. These are probably the group of animals that is the closest to an actual alien would look like. Just because you can't, it's hard to look at it and be like, well,

there's a mouth, there's eyes, because they have very different things. So this group superficially appearance, you know, do these animals to match Earth's group of animals called cyanophores. These amazing animals can have a very worm

like appearance with a segmented body styles and very similar to some worms. Sanofores are colonial species, which means they have mass body. that are built up of thousands of individuals and are extremely specialized. That means some animals act as fins, some aid or do digestion,

and others stare the body. This group of animals can look just about anything, but some of these animals we actually have, some examples of Santa Fores look almost just like our sky snakes. As far as SkySanthropors go, they have seen almost swimming through the sky with multiple pairs of furry fins.

Their ability to fly in locomotion It's likely due to the segmented bodies having gas-filled sacks in each of the segments, using their quick-moving fins to steer and do incredible gains of speed. Basically, they're negatively buoyant or neutrally buoyant in this air, and they use thousands of these pairs of fins just to get up speed. They've been observed being well over 200 feet long, often being very close to the ground, seem to be in poor health conditions.

So when you see these guys close to the ground, they almost always die after. Yeah. Everybody's like, yeah, they crashed and they're actively dying. Yeah. They've been witnessed to turn fast and you always scream the quick on a dime, not dismissing the open. So we kind of think these are the sharks.

When we talk about the biology of their upper atmosphere, we kind of think that these guys are maybe the apex predators. Some of them have what appears to be massive jalls, massive size. It's like a bobbet worm, right? Yeah. So the one I picked is probably the most famous individual. of this for the encounter is the Crawfordsville

Monster, which of you guys at home I've never heard of the Crawfordsville Monster, so we're having a camera. You guys at home have never heard of the Crawfordsville Monster. Just look up art because none of it's right. I don't think it's anybody's fault just because it happened a long time ago in 1891. And the description is very, very hard. So every artist takes a different interpretation of it.

Their own artistic license. Because it's a weird thing. The Crawfordville Journal reported that two ice truck or ice delivery drivers cited a strange phenomena that hovered in the air above their location described as a horrible apparition that filled them with dread and terror. A similar sighting was reported by the Methodist pastor and his wife. Garfordville Journal described it as being 18 feet long, 8 feet wide, moving rapidly through the air by means of several pair of side fins. It is pure white It has no defined shape or form So keep mind what we just talked about

With cyanophores No defined shape or form So that means every time it's moving It's changing its rough body plan Or it's what you're looking at There was no tail or head visible But it was seen to have a great Flaming Eye

And it had a sort of wheezing Plant of sound emanating from what appeared to be a mouth Which was near invisible So it was sounded like was hurt or wheezing. A lot of the people, and we've, when we looked into it and we talked about it, you know, we found several eyewitness reports saying it just seemed like it was not doing well. It flapped like the flags in the wind and came out quickly and frequently,

gave in great spasms through its suffering and undeniable agony. According to an interview conducted later in that year where the Crawford's reporter, Vincent Gabbis, hundreds of residents observed the phenomenon in the following evening with some claiming that could feel the monster's hot breath as it swooped down over them. Now, it wasn't trying to attack anybody, but it was slowly losing out to do when its first scene is like 200 feet and slowly losing, losing, losing. It was basically then cited. The Methodist pastor said it died in a field. It crashed and everybody was too scared to get close to it because it was still writhing.

And they assumed it died when they went out on the next day, you could find the struggles of it and just like nothing really to it. So when cyanophores, jellyfish, and even salamanders, when they die, they rot immediately. Extremely fast. I mean, for example, that one time we were recording a podcast in our very first studio and you had a pet. I had an oxalottle pass away. Pass away when we went out for lunch. We came back. It was nearly completely gone in a little tank by itself.

It was very old oxalotl. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But it was just crazy how quickly they-salamators just dissolve. Yeah, it dissolved, literally, and then nothing. It fast. Yep. But yeah, so that is the cyanophores. Yeah, those are interesting ones.

And that one, we've had a ton of, like, Dubai has a bunch of these guys. Southern U.S. has a bunch of these guys. These same ones in India, too, right? Yeah. By the airport? Yep. Yeah. That's in the book.

There's tons. A lot of times they're seen very colorful, very, very animated, and very fast. Oh, hopefully not colorful like a rainbow serpent. Yeah. Oh, great. Here we go. Yeah. Yeah, no thanks.

All right, next one. They're worshipping these sky creatures. Yeah, I wouldn't feed it. I wouldn't feed it. It will eat you. That's what the pyramids are. They're altars for these guys to land. I think that's the only group.

Oh, this one and the next one probably will eat you. The atmospheric amoebas. Okay. Go ahead. Tell us what an atmospheric amoeba is. I feel like these ones are similar to the manor-rays, but they're their own thing. Basically big blobs, but I've seen these things, big giant translucent blobs that just seem to move slowly through the atmosphere.

But I've even remember back when I was like a kid or growing up, seen on TV like these infrared cameras shooting out in space, picking up creatures. Now when I look back at it through this lens, this is like 100% when I think that they were catching. And I can't find those videos anymore. I just remember being a kid seeing this stuff and just like, What is this weird?

This is weird. And we think these are, we are the living clouds. Okay, there you go. So these are seen, like you said, the big blobs flying through the amoeba shaped. Also living clouds where they seem to be an animal or something hiding inside of a cloud, whether we think that they make their cloak. Whether it's a mucus, like, you know, that they looks very cloud-like or they're producing a vapor of some kind. But yeah. Right.

So this group is something that we know little about. The second, hopefully they explore more deeply. These creatures are described as floating, amorphous blobs, or the living cloud type. We kind of lump these together. These creatures are often huge and with no clear definitive shape, often mistaken for low-hanging fogs or clouds. They do not appear to be carnivorous. Sorry, they do appear to be carnivorous, while the raining blood events and raining bone events attribute to these creatures' appetites. Raining blood.

Which we're going to talk about the raining bones. Here in a minute. we think they may be much more like scavenger oriented and probably only prey upon creatures that are too slow to move out of the way like we did the evil fogs, the living fogs around the world that seem to dissolve things like a big amoeba but you've got to not move. Right, yeah.

You can't get away from them. They're very slow. It'd be like not escaping from a sloth. Some of these places in the world have long-term histories with these living fogs, often warning people to avoid them. One of the first appear was create layers of vapor around the body to help break up their shape to avoid predation from other species in the upper atmosphere. We see this a lot.

Another thought we have these creatures, they might be tightly packed schools of small atmospheric creatures. So they may act like piranha or like we don't even talk about Santa Force. When we do live shows and stuff like that, we showed videos of what appear to be a cloud that was more solid that almost had like little silver fish in it. Inside of it, yeah. And that may be what these things are.

So they're operating as one big body. like sea fleas are a huge one that they are more dramatic than prana ever were for the reputation. Oh, really? Yeah, have you ever seen them? I don't think so. You can put like a dead fish on the beach. Oh, the little guys on the beach.

Yeah. Dig a scoop up and they come flying out and they dig themselves. Those are sand fleas. Okay. What did you say? Sea fleas. Okay. These are like they'll eat you if you hold still.

Okay. But they're just like a little prana. I mean, they're like that big. They're just hyper little prana. And just living in the ocean? Yep. Okay. But yeah.

So that's that type. The title, so the encounter we have is the raining bones event from Corral Parish, Louisiana. 1872. A ton of local residents. This is one of our library of Congress ones we found. So, yeah, the articles from the National Union American of July 11th, 1872, Tennessee, had the following bizarre occurrence. If the first statement of these residents of Louisiana are to be credited,

Dame Nature was recently being played. strange pranks on that part of the country. As the writer of the New York Journal of Commerce, we versatile in good standing in the voucher by the editor of the paper gives the following particulars of the strange phenomena that occurred in Cornell Parish last month. Once again, this was written in 1872. So language, a little different.

We've changed our language a little bit. In past 150 years, yes, I'd say so. And I'm not going to read it word for it. I'm just going to kind of tell you what happened. Basically, during, in between severe floods, there was a thunderstorm that occurred and over this parish in Louisiana there was a drought

so when the water receded a bunch of animals got stranded like fish and stuff like that so during the next bit of rain the town noticed this heavy thick black cloud it was hanging only like 100 feet above the town so there's big clouds up way up in the sky

and then there's big fat one hanging low it was weird enough people started taking notice of it and looking up at it then all of a sudden in the front of the cloud, it started raining thousands and tens and tens of thousands of bones out of it.

And it was freaking out people. And then once it stopped raining bones, it floated back up and joined the rest of clouds. So a bunch of people took the bones. It appeared to almost be entirely alligator gar scales. It was crazy.

Which alligator gar scales, anybody don't know. They're armored-plated fish. They're ancient, and their scales are super, super dense. So what we think happened was, like I said, when the waters receded,

Gar got stranded. I think this thing scavenged, ate so many, so many dead gar, rotting gar. It could not get back up into the atmosphere, digested what it could, and threw up what it couldn't. So we look at animals,

all kinds of animals. Owls are a big one that'll do it. They would throw up aloe pellets. Yep. And that's what I think was happening here. Oh, so this is the owl pellet version of the sky creatures. Yeah. Well, yeah, what do you think of that one?

Now, that one's a crazy one. And ain't it nuts going back to the 1800s? We even had some stories going back to the 1700s. Just examples of things like that. I mean, this is the reigning bones one, but we had one that's rain blood on a, on in that, they covered that in the, in the movie Nope.

Like the examples of stuff like this. And we speculate there was some soft disclosure in that movie. Absolutely. I want to be clear, we had our first episode out about this subject before the trailer for Nope even dropped. Yes. You can check the date on our website.

I just got mad because somebody a long time ago said that we just ripped it off a note. And I'm like, look at the dates. Yes. Look at the dates. We were there before Nope. And we didn't need government consultation to do this. Nope. Whereas Nope did.

You can check it in the credits of the movie. It's there. That's true. All right. I think this may be our last one. There's many other types. Oh, yeah. We're just touching on a few examples for this.

But again, this is just an intro to this subject. I mean, we've done, I mean, dozens, if not 20 hours on this subject. I mean, and the book is loaded with examples that that you've found since, like I said, the 1700s. We've had turned into us. Yes, listeners submissions. And again, the book covers it all. And it's an easy read, too. And if you've seen a living UFO, you can turn your report in to,

Cryptids of the corn podcast at gmail.com or living UFO at gmail.com. Please and thank you. Just, I got to look at the camera and talk every once in a while. I forgot about that other email. Yeah, it's brand new. Yeah. Hopefully I said it right. I forgot all about it existed.

But cryptos of corn one works. Yeah. Yeah, so the jellyfish. Okay, okay. But what do you know about the jellyfish? Um, well, I guess not a whole lot. I miss, I know the closest thing we can compare it to, or we seen that video recently of that UFO flying over. What was that?

An airport or something? So there was the one in, well, Afghanistan, and then there was a one over the U.S.-Mexican border. I think it was the Afghanistan one was the big one going on, right? And almost if everyone knows what I'm talking about, but it's a certain video that looks like the jellyfish shape. It's got the bulbous, weird deformed looking top, almost like a deflated jellyfish, but it's got these things hanging down that look. Like tentacles. Like tentacles.

This looks like a big jellyfish. A metallic jellyfish. Right. Yeah. Which animals can 100% be metallic. We cover that a lot with how animals deal with open environments. And metallic camouflage actually works in open environments. You look invisible.

I mean, just using the sea or the ocean for an example. Lancefish. Lance fish, barracudas. Old fish. There are so many fish. Name a silver fish. Lance fish are the ones that literally look like liquid mercury, though. Like they're the shiniest of the shiny.

But yeah, so a group of jellyfish, giants. This group is completely identical pretty much to the ocean counterparts. They look almost exactly like oceanic jellyfish. Besides, a couple of them having more balloon-like heads or mantles or bells in jellyfish. It's called a bell. well, so they seem to have a little bit more volume, but probably not mass, but when it comes to these body parts. These creatures have been witnessed to be imaginable in size. When we talk about some of the encounters with them being four or 500 feet wide, 7, 8, 900 feet long,

the people that really describe some of the really, really big ones say how absolutely monstrous they are in size. They've been witnessed to have firsthand accounts compared to them watching a blimp with LEDs, last very complex patterns of white, blue, red, green, and even yellow lights. They resemble actual jellyfish. So it's uncanny that it leads to be related to them in the first place. These actually may be related to the jellyfish. Like we said, there is a jellyfish cousin that we have documented in the upper atmosphere. Absolutely.

These actually may, this is the one that may actually be a jellyfish. Maybe a hyper-evolved or hyper-specialized jellyfish. In some of the more recent upper-amper atmosphere studies, like I said, they found small jellyfish cousins. Family has greater possibilities of being functional. In behaviors, they've also been seen drifting very slowly and generally pulsing with their bells. Their ability to stay airborne is likely to do, like we've already said, with large center chambers with a gas filled to maintain altitude and pulsing to steer. Some of these have been witnessed to be capable of great burst of speed in short distances. Okay.

So almost like a squid or even a jellyfish shooting once. Right. Really hard. So, yeah, like, they seem to be prey. A lot of times these just look like giant filter feeders in the upper atmosphere. When they die or they get eaten, I think things kill them and they fall apart. And we talk about star jelly events and all this stuff. I think these are the big bodied ones that are just massive.

And I think there's a chance these actually act like coral reefs up there, where they are so big and massive that they actually act as their own structural environment to smaller species. Oh, wow. I mean, I can't rule it out. We see it with jellyfish in the ocean. Yeah. Lions main jellyfish housed hundreds of small fish around them. Even sea turtles and crabs and all kinds of stuff will hang on to the bodies of one lion's main jellyfish because it's only a thing in the open ocean. So a lot of times these guys are seen pretty much just in the northern hemisphere as far as I have found in reports. Not near the equator.

They are mostly colder climates. Now, I'm going to try to say this right. the Qijen jellyfish is the encounter we're going to go over. And this is the Chinese Air Force fight with one. Okay. You remember this one? I do, yes. I remember by the name.

Qijen. Yeah. I think it is China. It's October 19, 1988, 1988, the encounter in 1988, four military radar stations. Now, I'm going to mispronounce everything. Right. Why? Because I cannot read.

There you go. I have some, I have some mental problems. That's fair enough. Handicaps. Yes. P.D. Province, China, reported the presence of an undetified object hovering slowly over a military flight training school. So these radar stations pick up this massive, massive object, hover over a military, like a flight training school. So, and this story has some different, uh,

I don't know, facts or versions. That's kind of hard to really pinpoint. But a big one says that it determined the object was not military, civilian aircraft. Colonel Lee was the base commander, ordered six fighter jets to intercept the object. At least 140 ground personnel witnessed the object hovering over the base. Many observers of the base said the UFO appeared to be some kind of small star when they were describing it. Wow. It would grow, I'm sorry, grow larger and larger.

And when it wasn't, when it was decreasing out to it would shrink and shrink and shrink. like it was expanding itself to go up and shrinking to go down. As the object got closer, it appeared to be very, very jellyfish-like in structure with the bottom having long, hanging tentacles. They were covered in bright lights. So all these tentacles supposedly had a light at the bottom.

The crew of six fighter jets intercepted the object, right-wing back that the tower, whatever it was, was straight out of a science fiction novel, claiming that it was some kind of jellyfish monster. As they got closer, about four, thousand meters from the object, it abruptly shot up, completely avoiding the interception

of the fighter jets. So we're talking incredibly fast. The basic techniques. Very, very slow, and then instantly shot up really quick. The pilots followed the creature for roughly 40,000 feet. Oh, wow.

Basically, it kept going, and every time they get close and close, it would shoot out of the way. A lot of the pilots said it felt like it was playing with them. Like it was some kind of game to the creature. Like playing tag. Yeah. basically the only reason they went back to base is they were running low in fuel

after, you know, playing with this thing for a whole time. The whole time of the engagement, the pilots felt like I guess the creature was playing with them. And if it wanted to, could easily escape. The only reason it was still intercepting them was they think that it was either enjoying it. Yeah. Or that it wanted to stay in the area. Right. But they said it was moving so quick when it wanted to move that there's no reason it couldn't get away from us.

These are fighter threats. I mean, it's a crazy story. Yeah, they're pretty fast, ain't they? Yeah, tend to be. So what do you think of those ones? Wild. And that one in particular didn't talk too much about the lights, but I really wanted to touch on the lights when it comes to the sky jellyfish.

Because, you know, you see videos and I'm sure eyewitnesses and stuff, see basically LED flashing lights in the sky. And in my mind, you know, at least before doing this, it's got to be like a machine. It's got to be something like that. But then I discovered cone jellies. That's when you showed me the cone jelly. If you guys at home, I've never looked up a video of a cone jelly,

they just are little barrels that have what appears to be LED light strips and can do the most complex crazy patterns. They look like little UFOs. They look like UFOs. They look like UFOs in the bottom of the ocean that, yes, look exactly like the UFOs. And they change their shapes look like all crazy shapes, but it's the lights. It literally looks like an LED light strip.

And like you said with the shape thing, they'll morph into what appears to be like two halves of like, concave circles. Yeah. And they'll turn back into the barrel shape. Like a tithetri from Star Wars. They look like that.

They look like a Tye fighter. So imagine if you had the ability, gelatinous creatures. It can have structure. They can move pretty quick. Jellyfish, we know very little about the oldest group of organisms

on the planet that are still around, complex organisms. They have no brain. They can operate mazes. They have, depending on what species in the ocean, 26 eyes.

So it's very weird that they process information in some way without a centralized nerve bundle, a brain. But they are able to interpret their environment, they're able to hunt. There even seems to be not, I wouldn't say social behaviors, but they do seem to know, like, they have species of fish that live inside their bells, depending what species of jellyfish. They know not to eat their resident fish for two reasons. And one, it cleans them of parasites.

And two, it lures in predatory fish that they can eat. how does an animal even think about that without having a brain? Right. You know, so we're talking about fundamental understanding of science is very limited when it comes to these species. Remember, everybody at home, science does not know everything. We know plenty of high-level scientists that will tell you that. We've had plenty of come on our show.

It'll tell you that science does not know everything. It's a learning process. It should still always be a learning process. Right. So when someone says, I am the science, probably don't want to listen to that guy. But this is thing, I mean, what do you think about? the organic UFO thing as a whole?

I just think there's a lot of potential there for it. And, you know, I 100% believe just with the evidence that we have found life up there and, you know, it mimics the ocean so much. I feel strongly that there has to be some of these creatures are alive up there because it explains some of the weird accounts throughout history like the Kentucky Meat Shower, for example. But even beyond that, I even start thinking now, what if, these sky creatures are

beyond just our atmosphere or our biology here in our atmosphere what if it is like crosses over into this big foot you know cryptid stuff where it's interdimensional things because if we got interdimensional's here on land

underwater as we speculate absolutely they would be up in the sky too why wouldn't they be 100% and then you know and that gets into the with the Vietnam soldiers with the infrared light or the night vision the red night vision goggles.

What were they seeing? So you explain that. Talk about that. Okay. Well, I don't know it. Do you mean that well? But I just know, when was it? Was it Vietnam?

But they first issued their night vision goggles were in the red hue. Now they're in green. But why are they in green now? Why make the switch? Oh, it's because in the red spectrum, they were seeing, quote, unquote, demons flying around the sky. They were shooting at them. I don't know if they were hitting them. Yeah, they were saying they were shredding them.

So these attack pilots, these attack helicopter pilots in Vietnam were wiring these so they could fly without lights and that kind of stuff, you know, in Vietnam. And groups of attack helicopters would start shooting at the same target in the sky, saying that it was a massive demon or something like that. Really quickly after the U.S. government switched to green for reasons. And they stopped seeing the demons. Everybody stopped seeing the demons. But we had several, we've had several Vietnam soldiers, you know, our Patreon come on and talk about when they had the red, they told. you just never look at the sky. Like when you're on the ground,

using the red, they were very clear, you do not look at the sky with these things. And what is that? I mean, I think that it might be these living UFOs.

Yeah, I'm sure. I believe it. And then that opens a whole other box of, or Pandora's box. I would think like conservation when it comes to that side of it. Because, you know,

that air travel industry is huge. Oh, gosh. And it's also crumbling and the infrastructure is horrible because they're greedy. The single largest environment that directly affects every person on the planet that I do believe has these big organisms in it that countries in the Middle East and stuff like that are already actively mining for resources. Like you mentioned the aeroplankton earlier. They're actively melting down aeroplankton for fuel sources.

I mean. With an environment we know nothing about. So how is that affecting the other biomes around it? Because we know the ocean affects us. And this is the bigger ocean. This is the bigger ocean. That has more water by volume, like tenfold. So you know if a train, you know, derails full of chemicals, you know, probably not best to just light it all on fire and send it right up into the atmosphere.

I don't know. It wouldn't have been wicked to see one of these things just come crashing down like a big manoray. Like, oh. Well, that would have been a, yes, I guess it would have been. That would have been a weird silver lining, I guess. I don't know. I mean, they, talking about the East Palestine train crash in Ohio. Yes, that's what I was referring to. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure once they seen that plume coming up, these things are probably smart enough. Yeah, we're going to avoid that. We're going up again.

They're drifters. A lot of these big ones are drifters. They may not have the ability to move that fast out of the way. And to be honest, maybe that this chemical probably didn't get up high enough to where. It would take a lot. They probably came back down, leaving the troposphere. I mean, what's some of the other stuff you've learned about? this, like doing it. I always forget because I talk so much about it. Well, I know. And I kind of forget how long we've been talking about it, too. And it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. There's more and more and more. I think that's been the most fascinating thing is, and we wouldn't even touch into the paranormal side of this stuff.

We didn't even touch on the funguses or the mushrooms. No, and I, and there's a whole bunch. I mean, there's a whole bunch more. Yeah. And it's just the, the UFO topic really broadened for me after this. And it, uh, that it helped paint a bigger picture of what's really going on. Because I don't know what's going on. Nobody does.

Nobody knows. We're making educated guesses. Hmm. And they're probably wrong. Sure. Yeah. Nobody. There's no such thing as an expert,

anything paranormal. If anybody who says they are, don't believe them. Correct. But there are things in the world that you can touch, you can measure, like biological things that we can put our finger on. And,

and, you know, just taking the things that do that here on land and the sea that we know about and applying it to the atmosphere, it's not that far of a jump. I mean, that's what we do with all kinds. So everybody doesn't know if you don't remember it from last year. I was a fisheries, technician fisheries, crew leader, which is essentially a field biologist. So they always say biologists because it's just easiest for people to understand what I did.

Mostly worked with fish, but I did work with salameters, amphibians, environmental conservation, habitat assessment, and that kind of stuff, fishery surveys. And that's what we do with nature. when we are trying to study a species, we either study the closest living relatives or the closest known relatives or the closest analog species. So that I mean the closest species

that's still doing the same niche as an extinct species or a little known species in another country, you find the niche somewhere else and you look at it and you can kind of make a lot of educated guesses off of what that animal is doing is nature loves a working plan.

If it works one place, they're going to use it somewhere else. Sharks and dolphins are a great example. They are not close related, fish and mammals. But if you just look at the fundamental fin array, it's twisted like the tail fluk and the tail fin of the shark is different than a fluke over dolphin. But roughly, they're very, very similar body splans, very similar shapes, you know, all this stuff. So we look at that with this subject.

When you kind of compare and then we make educated guesses off of that. Speculative biology. So yes, you can find the book Living UFOs, the Ocean Above Our Heads. a study of atmospheric biology on cryptidsofthe corn.com under the books tab. Yeah, and if you guys liked this kind of stuff, you know, we didn't give as big an intro because you're probably sick of hearing from us after we've been blessed to be on Tony's show several times. Absolutely. But we do a lot of this, where we do the scientific and magical thing combined,

where we just bring a lot of science to the paranormal where, like, we talked about everything. We had the bad physics episode, which everybody loved. Yeah. Just to explain and just some physics stuff that match the paranormal. there are physics going on like physics experiments going on right now that if you just change the wording is magic

is the is the paranormal so we do a lot of that you can check that out I just want to say one more thing we wrap it up I guess two more things the UAP hearing said living craft 220 times and 2212 pages just I felt validated

but I feel like they're going to use one of my one of my creatures to get the UFO community like to stop the UFO community community. And then the second thing, just a huge thank you to Tony and the confessionals family for allowing us to do this. They continued us to support that they've given us over the years. It really is amazing. It's a blessing. So thank you, Tony. I hope you are enjoying your well-deserved vacation with your family, your break. What do you got? Anything? I'm with you 100%. Yeah, Thank you so much. Very appreciative. All right. Ready? Yep. Bye.

Conscious looming. You know what my thoughts consume me. Playing with death like I'm spooning. Everything I'm chasing, eluding. I'm made. This prison away is. I can't find escape, because I want to taste

a change the squeeze. Don't want to know what the definition of a sari is. Everything I'm chasing out of reach like Shatar ships. I feel when people say they feel me, they just say they do. Tentacles of praise turning in the calamarry suit. A little stretched. song I bleed. Just a little recognition is all I need. And God, I'm feeling growth, but every time I look inside, I'm looking at the branches of a bonsai tree. And I don't know what I'm

gonna leave when I leave here, because the mic's just become a pair of sheep shears. And I'm fight for change, but legacy's important too. Scambling for more days, more elite years. Feeling like a mega block around some Lego in a chamber of my own thoughts, my own echoes. Loves never seem to hit the false sad out. Run for me to judge myself on
