Carl Higdon went hunting for elk in the Wyoming mountains and never fired a shot that landed. A stranger stopped him first, and nothing about the rest of that afternoon made sense. Hours later, a search party found him soaking wet and shaking, unable to remember his own name or recognize his wife. His truck sat three miles from where it should have been, stuck in terrain it had no business reaching. A bullet in his pocket had been fired, yet it never left the barrel the normal way.

Now, see Spider-Man.
But faced with a threat, that can be anyone.
On the biggest screen possible.
You gotta come with me.
I don't know if you're the real Spider-Man.
I promised that I would keep you saying.
Fine.
Spider-Man, brand-new day.
Now playing.
Now streaming on Disney Plus,
the Hulu original series Furious follows FBI agent Alice Black,
played by Emmy Rossum,
on the hunt for a mysterious and calculating serial killer.
Both walk their own paths toward justice,
and as their lives start to intertwine,
The line between right and wrong begins to blur.
New episodes week over week.
Watch the Hulu original series Furious, now streaming only on Hulu on Disney Plus.
It was a cold October afternoon in 1974.
Carl Higden aimed his rifle at a bull elk and pulled the trigger.
The gun didn't kick.
The bullet slid out of the barrel, floated about 50 feet, and dropped to the ground.
Carl bent down to pick it up.
Then a twig snapped behind it.
He felt a tingle in the air, like the static before a thunderstorm.
He turned around.
He was face to face with a creature.
It smiled at him.
Carl had no idea what it was, but it called itself also.
I've never been someone with a complicated skin care routine.
I just wanted products that actually made a difference instead of promising the world.
And that's exactly why I use one skin.
I use their OS01 face moisturizer every day,
and their OS01 eye cream around my eyes.
The moisturizer keeps my skin feeling hydrated
without being greasy,
and the eye cream has really helped
that delicate skin feel smoother and firmer.
What I like most is that one skin works differently.
Their OS01 peptide was designed by longevity scientists
to target what's known as zombie skin cells
that contribute to visible signs of aging.
So it's not just moisturizing your skin,
you're supporting healthier-looking skin as you age,
Both products are dermatologists tested, fragrance-free, and safe for sensitive skin,
and the results are backed by four peer-reviewed clinical studies and more than 10,000 five-star reviews.
Born from over a decade of longevity research, OneSkin is helping you unlock your healthiest skin now as you age.

The thing was maybe six foot two, with bowed legs and yellow skin.
It smiled at Carl showing a mouthful of square teeth,
big, flat and blocky, like two rows of dice.
It had no chin and no neck.
Its head was right on its shoulders.
Stip hair stuck straight up like straw.
It had two short antenna growing from its forehead,
and it watched Carl through small, deep hollow eyes.
It wore a black cover-all jumpsuit with belts across its torso and waist.
It didn't have hands.
Where one should have been,
a thin metal rod extended from its sleeve like a drill,
and something floated near the end of it.
The creature spoke first.
The words came out scrambled,
like a vinyl record spinning backward,
but Carl understood.
He said he was doing pretty good.
Carl Hegden wasn't supposed to be in the woods that day.
He was a 41-year-old oil rig foreman out of Rollins, Wyoming.
When a crew member called in sick that morning,
Carl took the day off, borrowed the company truck,
and drove south to hunt elk.
On the way in, he stopped to help too,
stranded men fixed their truck. They thanked him by pointing him toward a good hunting spot,
deep in the Medicine Bow National Forest. His good deed sent him straight to Auso. The floating
thing near Aos's drill was a clear cellophane pack, the kind to get gum or cold medicine in. It held
four small pills. Asso asked Carl if he was hungry. He said he was. The pack floated from the drill
toward Carl. Aousso told him each pill would keep him fed for four days. But here's the thing about
Carl. He didn't take pills, not vitamins, not even an aspirin for a headache. Carl took one and put it in his
mouth without a second thought. Yeah, this isn't going to end well. Let's hope that kill is more
paste candy unless Bill Cosby. Then Aousso asked Carl if he wanted to go with him. It. Carl said,
I guess so. This bothered Carl later, not that a creature from space visited his planet,
that he agreed to everything so easily. He didn't know what Aousa wanted to show him, but leaving Earth,
was the last choice Aousso let him make.
Carl tried to lift his arms.
He couldn't.
He was strapped to a seat and pinned down.
A large helmet weighed his head down.
It reminded him of a football helmet,
but this one had wires coming out of the top.
The chair was inside a large glass box,
maybe seven feet long on each side.
Carl could see through it.
He saw the clearing and his truck,
but the elk were gone.
Aouso pointed his metal drill at it,
and the truck disappeared.
Oh, repo men,
have gotten scary good.
Then the box lifted off the ground and started to climb.
Slowly at first, then the trees fell away.
The ridge, the state.
A few seconds later, the Earth was a size of a basketball.
Then it was gone, and all that was left was black.
And Carl and Aosso weren't alone in the cube.
The craft had four seats,
and an alien that looked just like Aoso sat in one of them.
Carl's rifle was there too, but out of reach.
On the wall, Carl saw a construction.
control panel and a strange symbol he thought might be a map of the galaxy.
Then Carl noticed a mirror mounted above his seat.
Ah, mirror on a ceiling, huh? Pretty freaky.
In the...
Chica-b-b-bo-bow-bop-bow.
Sorry, go ahead.
In the reflection behind his seat was the elk he shot at, or tried to.
The four elk were there too, caged and frozen, like not moving at all.
The ship was too small to hold all of this, but there they were.
I also told Carl they were going to his home, 163,000 light years away.
Carl couldn't say how long they traveled, but as fast as Earth fell away, a new planet appeared.
The planet was barren, almost empty in every direction.
When the craft landed, Carl saw a tower.
It reminded him of the space needle, but this wasn't Seattle.
Thank God, can you imagine?
Abducted by an alien and he takes it to Seattle?
That's like what do you want his golden ticket, but it's for his new factory, make an oatmeal.
No? Okay. That's like getting into Hogwarts and the sorting hat puts you in a county.
Nothing? That's like finally hooking up with the cute girl at school and then you see her at the family picnic.
These are jokes about disappointment.
I know what it is!
On this planet Carl learned he wasn't the only human ever taken. Five others were already there.

mining rigs, writing blockchain code, and Ethereum contracts.

Carl covered his eyes
or tried to while tears streamed down his face.
The light from the top of the tower burned
and his ears rang with a deep buzz
like an electric razor.
Auso stayed in the shade.
Carl couldn't.
So Carl did a very human thing
and yelled at the aliens to shut the lights off.
One of them answered.
Our son burns us too.
So not a lot of sympathy from the aliens.
At the base of the tower,
Carl saw five figures standing in a circle.
They were humans, ordinary people and ordinary clothes.
A gray-haired man, a teenage boy, a couple of teenage girls, a younger girl maybe 10 years old.
They chatted with each other like they were killing time.
Carl tried to get their attention, but they ignored him.
And nobody looked surprised.
A also guided him past them and into the tower.
They got into an elevator.
When the doors closed, Carl realized there were no buttons.
They started moving anyway.
When they stopped, the doors opened into a large,
empty room. Carl just stood there. He had no idea what he was supposed to do. A large glass panel
emerged from the wall and floated in front of him. Still, Carl waited. Aosso moved to the far side
of the panel, turned around and looked at Carl through the glass. Then nothing. Three minutes passed,
then four. Aousso didn't say a word. The alien was studying Carl methodically, clinically. Carl knew
that look. It's the look a doctor makes when studying a chart or an x-ray, looking for fractures
or a tumor.
I know that look.
I give it in a Chinese buffet.
I just stand there dead-eyed,
grinning in a homicidal like private pile.
And that's why we never go to lunch.
I'm telling you, I got a reputation for odd-fitting the appetizers.
The busboy calls me the Crab Rangooner.
Carl didn't know what he was going to get from this creature,
maybe a message for mankind or some sense of what this all meant.
Instead, Carl got a judgment.
You're not what we want.
We'll take you back.
No apology, no explanation, just rejection.
Aousso walked him back to the ship and handed him his rifle.
This weapon is primitive, but I'd like to keep it.
I am not allowed to.
Then Aousso pointed his drill arm at Carl's pocket.
The pill pack floated out and up, back to Aosso.
They gave Carl back his gun, but they took back their evidence.
Suddenly the tower, the five humans, and the blinding light were gone.
Carl watched the doll fall away from inside the ship.
Then through the bottom of the ship,
a blue light grew out of the darkness, Earth.
Carl didn't know how long the journey took,
but he was home.
Carl floated out of the ship and down into the forest.
He never walked, he floated.
Aousso and his ship were gone.
Carl was alone.
But he felt strange.
Then he realized he didn't know where he was.
He didn't know how he got there.
He didn't know his own name.
But even though the aliens didn't want him,
they took something from him, and doctors still can't explain how.
Central banks around the world have been quietly loading up a physical gold.
Not paper gold, the actual metal sitting in vaults.
China, Russia, India, Turkey, dozens of others.
They're rotating out of dollars and into gold,
and some of them aren't exactly advertising it.
Here's a number that you get your attention.
Twenty years ago, the dollar made up 72% of global reserves.
Today, it's under 60%, a 30-year loan.
That's not a rumor.
That's IMF data.
Now, these aren't countries that hate America.
They've just done the math on where the dollars headed,
and they're positioning accordingly.
And history says when the biggest holders of dollars
start quietly heading for the exits,
its regular saver is holding paper who get caught flat-footed.

The forest was more than a mile above sea level and wet, snow covered most of the ground.
His first step back on Earth, Carl slipped on a rock.
He fell down the hill and landed hard.
He thought he dislocated his shoulder, but he wasn't sure.
He suddenly had a splitting headache.
He still didn't know his name, but something told him to not take any pills for the pain.
That much he remembered.
Carl wandered between the trees and the days.
Nothing was familiar.
He walked right past his truck without recognizing it.
He kept going.
He walked a mile up the road.
Then he turned around and came back.
He went back to his truck.
He still didn't know it was his, but something made him get inside.
He heard a woman.
his voice crackling on the radio.
He picked up the handset and asked for help.
Around 6.30 that evening, Carl's boss heard a familiar voice
come over the company's CV.
He asked Carl for his name and location.
Carl couldn't give him either one.
I don't know.
I'm so cold.
Carl said he was sitting in a pickup with a funny stick in the middle.
He was describing a stick shift.
Carl drove stick his whole life,
but he couldn't remember how it worked.
The sheriff put together a search party,
and six men went into the forest after,
after dark.
During the search, they saw strange pulsing lights in the sky, green, red and white, moving
in formation, too high for a helicopter and too low for a plane.
They hovered over the forest like they were also searching for something.
The search party found Carl at 1130 that night, soaking wet and shaking.
He lived and worked in the area, so the men recognized him.
But Carl insisted he didn't know any of them.
He didn't recognize his own wife who joined the search.
And when Carl finally spoke, he said only four.
words.
They took my elk.
Carl got to the hospital in Rawlins at 2.30 in the morning.
His eyes were bloodshot and stinging.
He complained about the painful bright lights.
He couldn't keep his balance.
And through it all, he still had no idea who he was.
Doctors examined him and put his x-rays up on the light board.
Years earlier, Carl had tuberculosis so badly, the scar showed up on every chest x-ray he
ever took.
That night, they didn't.
The scans were clean.
Carl's kidney stones were gone, too.
He had them for years.
They were bothering him earlier that week, but after that night, he never got a kidney stone again.
Something healed Carl. The doctors had no idea what could have done it, but they agreed on one
thing. Something happened to Carl Higden, but it wasn't all good news. Carl had no appetite. That
worried the doctors. His wife pushed him to eat, but Carl refused. Then Sunday morning,
he woke up starving. He tore through his breakfast, then he ate more, and more and more he ate
everything in the house and complained there wasn't enough food. It was the first.
first thing Carl ate since he swallowed
Aosso's alien food pill.
Doctors didn't believe Carl's story
of being abducted. They couldn't find
any proof of it in his body.
But they found the proof in his pocket.

While Carl was in the hospital, his wife Marjorie went through his hunting clothes.
She folded his pants.
She hung his wet shirt out to dry.
When she picked up his jacket, she realized it was inside out.
The sleeves were pulled all the way through.
As she straightened the jacket, a bullet fell from the pocket.
It had been fired.
She was the wife of a hunter.
She was no stranger to bullets,
and she knew the difference between a bullet that was fired and one that wasn't.
But something was wrong about this one.
Carl's rifle fired 7mm-magnum bullets.
Carl liked to point out that a 7-millimeter magnum could punch clean through a telephone pole.
But the bullet in Carl's jacket was peeled back and turned inside out.
The lead core was missing, only the copper jacket was left.
The police couldn't explain it.
So the bullet went to Dr. Walter Walker, a metallurgy consultant.
Walker said the bullet said the bullet,
hit something extremely hard with tremendous force.
That means something was in the air 50 feet in front of Carl on that mountain.
The bullet went into storage at the University of Wyoming.
Then it disappeared.
And then there's the truck.
The two men Carl helped on the drive-in knew where he was headed.
The search party knew where his truck was supposed to be, parked at the end of a logging
road.
But it wasn't there.
They found it three miles away, sunk to the axles in a mud hole.
That sounds like one of those southern sayings when someone's in big trouble.
Boy, I missed up so bad
that I've just sunk to the axles in the mud hole.
You're right, it kind of does.
They got the best things.
I'm in so much trouble.
I'm crapping hymnals and praying in cursive.
It's so hot out.
I'm daintly lower than a fat granny's porch swing.
I'm so hung over.
I'm blinking in most cold and apologizing the furniture.
This was rugged country.
Carl's two-wheel drive truck had no business going there.
The searchers couldn't even drive it out.
They had to tow it.
And the men who found it all agreed on one thing.
That truck didn't get there on its own.
But there were no tire tracks, not from the truck, not from anything that could have dragged
it there.
The truck just appeared in the mud.
To the men on that mountain, the bullet and the truck were proof that something happened to
Carl.
They couldn't say what, but Carl eventually got his answer.
Carl Higden learned exactly why the aliens wanted an undamaged human body, and exactly how
they planned to use it.
writing episodes, editing, and everything in between, I'm lucky to get five hours sleep tonight.
But if I'm only getting a little bit of sleep, it needs to actually be good sleep, not
tossing and turning, not waking up more tired than when I lay down. So lately, I've been looking
into upgrading my mattress, and Brooklyn Bedding is the one that actually caught my attention,
and here's why. These aren't some imported beds with a logo slapped on it. Brooklyn Bedding
designs and builds the mattresses themselves in their own factory in Arizona. No middlemen, no
gimmicks, just people who know what they're doing. And you can tell the difference. Supportive about
being stiff, doesn't sleep hot, doesn't fall apart after a year like other mass produced mattresses.
They've got options for pretty much every kind of sleeper too. Side sleepers, hot sleepers,

Carl was right about the symbol on the wall of the ship.
It was a map of Auso's solar system,
nine planets circling one volatile star.
Aousa's planet was harsh and dying.
Its sun burned so hot that Aousso's kind
had to wear special coveralls outside.
The oceans used to be full of life,
but now nothing could survive in the water.
This was a critical part of the food chain that collapsed.
There wasn't enough food on their world, so Aousa's people went looking for others.
They came to Earth, but not to make contact and not to share knowledge.
Aoussa told Carl exactly what it was doing in those woods that afternoon.
It was searching for food.
Aousa was like Carl. He was a hunter.
Carl remembered none of this at first.
His memory came back in pieces, and it started when his daughter walked into his hotel room.
He knew her face, and then his wife came back to him,
then the broad strokes of the hunting trip.
But when Carl reached for what happened on the alien planet, he hit a wall.
So Marjorie called Dr. Sprinkle.
She called the ice cream man?
That was Mr. Frosty.
Ah, that's right.
Dr. Leo Sprinkel was a psychologist at the University of Wyoming, and he was a hypnotist.
Dr. Sprinkel's research partner was Dr. Jimy's.
They had a falling out over regional terminology.
Okay. Eight days after the encounter, Sprinkle drove down to the Higden home.
His family gathered around, and Rick Kenyon, a local art teacher, sat nearby with
with the sketch pad.
Sprinkle swung a pendulum and guided Carl deep into a subconscious.
Once Carl was under, some memories came back.
As Carl talked, Kenyon drew the creature Carl described.
That sketch became the face of this case.
Every picture of Asso you've ever seen started in that living room.
Every time Sprinkle guided him down, Carl stopped at the same place, the elk.
Finally, the wall broke and his memories rushed back all at once.
The elk in the cage, the tower, the other humans.
and the thing Aso told him on that barren planet.
Aosso hunted animals, collected them, and carried them home to breed them for food.
Animals like elk.
And animals like Carl.
Soiling breed is people.
Right.
It's a cookbook.
Are you done?
I hear a lot of quotes about aliens eating people.
My favorite is, in his belly, you will find a new definition of pain and suffering
as you are slowly digested over a thousand years.
Remember that one?
Return of the Jedi.
Yeah, yeah, C-3PO, he was talking about the sand anus that ate Boba-Fet.
Okay, that's enough.
You know, I wish Boba-Fet stayed in that anus.
Yeah, me too.
Anyway, the pill Carl swallowed wasn't a kindness.
It was feed, the kind you give livestock to keep it healthy in transit.
The examination in the tower wasn't a scientific curiosity.
It was a meat inspection.
Then Carl understood why he'd been rejected.
Years earlier, Carl had a vasectomy.
You're not good breeding stock if you can.
can't read. Carl wasn't prime. He wasn't even select. He was worthless. Carl went into those woods at the top of the food chain.
He came out knowing he wasn't at the top anymore. But Carl wasn't the only human on that planet.
Five others stood at the base of that tower and nobody knows what happened to them. As for the rest of us, either we didn't make the cut or we're still waiting to be examined.
A hunter goes into the woods looking for food. Instead of being an apex predator, the hunter becomes praying. It's a good
story, but is it true?
Well, in a case like this, most of the evidence is just the witness account.
Carl Higden was an oil reformant, not a writer or performer.
Marjorie wrote a book about the case, but they never really cashed in.
He gave interviews for years until his death in 2022.
And in all that time, his story never changed, not the dropping bullet, not
Aosso's appearance, not the glass cube, the tower, or the exam.
In 1978, Charles McQuiston ran recordings of Higden's voice through a machine he
co-invented.
The psychological stress evaluator,
a voice stress lie detector used by police departments.
McQuiston found no signs of deception.
He stopped short of confirming an alien encounter,
but he believes something extraordinary happened to Higden.
Well, one caveat, and it's a big one.
Voice stress analysis is shaky science.
Later government studies found that these machines catch lies
at about the rate of a coin flip.
So McQuiston's verdict tells us Carl probably believes his own story,
but it can't tell us if the story is true.
the hard part. The core of Carl's story appeared within days, but many details only came out after
Carl met Dr. Sprinkle, after he was hypnotized, and hypnosis is also a problem. Dr. Sprinkle
was a real psychologist at a real university, and by every account he was honest and careful,
but hypnosis is unreliable. Under hypnosis, the mind fills gaps. It borrows, from movies,
from dreams, from things you read. A person can come out of hypnosis sure of details that their
own brain manufactured.
is not the same as accuracy, and we can't fully separate the two.
So the five other people, the examination behind the glass, the idea of breeding us for food,
all that comes from hypnosis, a process that we know garbles and manufactures memories.
But there is some actual evidence.
Everything Carl said and did before 6.30 that evening happened hours before anyone mentioned hypnosis.
The bullet was already in his pocket. The truck was in the mud,
and a man who drove stick shift to his whole life was already on the radio, unable to name
the thing in the middle of his own truck.
Whatever scrambled Carl Higden's brain that night,
it wasn't hypnosis.
But there's no second witness to the ship.
No one else saw Aalso.
But the strange lights in the sky that night,
the search team really did see those,
and they saw them before their own vehicles started moving,
so it wasn't headlights.
Same with the truck.
It really was three miles from where it should have been,
in rough, mucky terrain, and it had to be towed out.
But some firsthand accounts say it was stuck in deep ruts,
not in a bog without tire tracks.
Either way, the searchers agree the truck couldn't have got there on its own.
The bullet is a sticky piece of evidence, too.
It really was inside out, and the lead core really was missing.
Dr. Walker said it hit something extremely hard, but he stopped short of calling it anything
alien.
The hospital evidence is also interesting.
Doctors found no drugs or alcohol in Carl's system, and they said his distress seemed honest,
but I couldn't find proof that his kidney stones melted or scars vanished.
X-rays can be inexact, especially in the 1970s.
It's possible the scars didn't show up on one scan, even though they were still there.
The trip to the planet, I can't prove.
The story I also told, I can't prove.
But something physical happened to Carl Higden on that mountain, and nobody's ever explained it.
The truck, the bullet, the flashing lights, the changed man.
There's no simple way to explain any of that.
But here's what's unique about Carl's story.
Every alien abduction story you've ever heard is underneath a story about being chosen.
They picked you.
You matter.
They wanted you.
It's terrifying, but there's a strange comfort in being special.
Carls is the only abduction case I know of that's about being rejected.
Something came a long way, looked a human being over head to toe, ran a bunch of tests,
and decided he wasn't worth keeping, and sent him home like a dented can put back on the shelf.
The abduction isn't the scary part. The judgment is, the quiet possibility
that were already on a list somewhere, already accounted for, already graded.
So the worst news isn't always that you were taking.
It's that you were sent back.
Thank you so much for hanging out with me today.

And if there's someone you'd like to see on the show, let me know.
I'm always looking for good guests.
Remember, the Wi-Files is also a podcast.
So everything you see here gets posted on Spotify and I guess pretty much everywhere you get your
podcasts.
But on Spotify, you can see the video too.
What's important is you can take us on the road.
I upload at least twice a week, episodes, Camp Fire Stories, interviews.
It's called The Whitefowse.
It's available everywhere.
Now, if you need more Wi-Files in your life,
check out our 24-7 stream of the Wi-Piles backstage.
Over there, we run episodes back-to-back,
with some fun content in between.
And the live chat is hilarious.
It's more fun than the videos.
Special thanks to our patrons who make this channel possible.
Every episode of the Wi-Files is dedicated to our Patreon members.
I couldn't do any of this without your support,
so thank you.
And if you'd like to support the channel,
join this community, keep us going.
Consider becoming a member on Patreon.
For as little as three bucks a month,
Get access to perks like seeing videos early with no commercials, exclusive merch,
plus two private live streams every week just for you.
Now, the whole Wi-Files team is on those, so you get to see us as people.
And you can turn your camera on and interact with us as well.
I was just thinking of some of the interactions we've had.
They're entertaining. You can show up just for those.
Anyway, I think it's the best perk there is.
Another great way to support the channel is grab something for the Wi-Fouse store.
Grab a head-goat-o-a-suit.
Oh, what are these fist about coffee bags that you get to stick your fist in?

it pays for itself and then you could just cancel i think you still get charged but maybe not
But the point is, I don't care.
It's there to save you money, not make me money.
All that revenue goes to the team.
I don't touch it.
Yeah, keep that secret on your door, something.
Whatever you got on there, keep it in there.
Those are the plugs, and that's going to do it.
Until next time, be safe.
Be kind.

The best part of Shopify for me
is our ability to run the business as essentially non-technical people.
We're able to admin everything on the back end, front end, and sell things online easily.
If Shopify were a bike accessory, I think it would actually be the bicycle.
It's the thing that you do the thing on. We run the business on Shopify.
