Haunted Cosmos – Suppressed Inventions & Government Cover-Ups

Season 6, Episode 2 • November 26, 2025

Episode Overview

This gripping episode delves into the enigmatic world of "suppressed inventions"—technologies and discoveries that, for reasons of power, politics, or profit, have been hidden, destroyed, or dismissed by powerful interests, including governments and industry giants. Hosts Ben Garrett and Brian Sauvé weave together conspiracies, chilling historical events, legendary innovators, and cautionary tales, all underpinned by the Haunted Cosmos conviction that the universe is “not just stuff.” The tone blends serious investigation with moments of humor, skepticism, and Christian reflection.

Main Themes

• Historic and modern stories of technological suppression
• The intersection of science, politics, the occult, and power
• Discerning fact from myth in suppressed inventions legends
• The human (and spiritual) hunger for “free energy” and dominion
• The dangers, temptations, and consequences of seeking to transcend normal physical limits

Key Topics, Discussions & Insights

1. The Nazi Bell (Die Glocke): Technology, Power & the Occult

[01:09–26:00]

• Chilling Reenactment: Brian describes an alleged secret Nazi experiment in 1944 involving the "Nazi Bell," a bizarre and powerful device in a castle’s underground lab. Descriptions include blue-glowing fog, intense magnetism, and agonized test subjects—a scene blending science fiction and horror.
  • "As the object's glow grew more stronger…the SS generals could feel their metal pins start to pull away from their blazers as a spontaneous magnetism formed around the object." —Brian Sauvé [~09:20]
• Relativity, Time Travel, and Physics: Ben and Brian connect the Bell to Einstein’s theories (theoretical limits of the speed of light, time travel paradoxes), highlighting the desire to break natural laws.
• Wunderwaffen Obsession: Story of Hans Kammler, SS leader in secret weapons programs, seeking technological Holy Grails beyond even the atomic bomb—climaxing in the alleged construction of Die Glocke.
• Legends & Fallout: Details from Polish historian Igor Witkowski: the Bell's specs, supposed use of “red mercury,” rumors it tapped “zero point energy” to become a perpetual motion, time-and-space-warping device.
  • "The Bell powered the Bell, or so it is said. If true, this means that the Nazis discovered the theory and built the technology capable of tapping into the zero point energy presumed to exist in the aether of space time." —Brian Sauvé [~19:40]
• Conspiracy Threads: Where did the Bell go? Did Kammler make it to Argentina or get swept into US custody in Operation Paperclip? Is hidden Nazi tech behind modern UFO sightings and the “secret space program”?
• Broad Implications: Are UAP sightings and cover-ups evidence of suppressed human tech, not aliens?
  • “What if they are all government air and spacecraft engineered using Bell technology and kept secret from us for some higher government purpose?” —Brian Sauvé [23:55]

2. Stanley Meyer, the ‘Water Car,’ and Mysterious Death

[56:32–75:05]

• Dramatic Cold Case: The mysterious 1998 death of Stanley Meyer, who claimed to invent a device making cars run on water, is recounted with cinematic detail.
  • “Stanley uttered his final words. ‘They poisoned me.’ Then he collapsed, cold and lifeless.” —Brian [~63:56]
  • Memorable Moment: Brian and Ben’s intense, narrative re-telling of Meyer’s death at Cracker Barrel [56:32–63:36]
• The Technology: Meyer’s system supposedly used an efficient electrolysis technique to split water and power engines—if true, it would violate core thermodynamic laws.
• Aftermath & Skepticism: Courts found his device was “nothing special”; his patents expired; yet no one’s produced a working model. Did Big Oil or government kill him, or was it a natural aneurysm?
• Societal Impulse: The enduring belief in such stories speaks to widespread hunger for technological miracles and deep suspicion of entrenched interests.

3. Maurice Ward and “Starlite”—The Indestructible Plastic

[75:05–78:53]

• Breakthrough or Bust?: The story of Maurice Ward, who in the 1980s demonstrated “Starlite,” a plastic-like coating that could reputedly withstand extreme heat (even a blowtorch on live BBC). He refused to reveal the formula; he died in 2011. His invention vanished with him.
  • “He wanted complete control, and he refused forever. Like people, he never made a fortune on it because he refused to let anybody use it. And he died in 2011, and no one knows how to make it.” —Brian Sauvé [77:17]

4. Wilhelm Reich, Orgone Energy, and the Power of Suppression

[79:06–91:07]

• Historical Context: Reich, a student of Freud, blended psychoanalysis, Marxism, and sexual liberation. He also claimed to discover “orgone energy,” the cosmic, sexual force behind all existence.
  • "Reich concluded that sexual expression was the latent power behind the universe. He called it orgone energy, a primordial life force..." —Brian Sauvé [~80:00]
• Medical/Scientific Fraud: Reich manufactured “orgone accumulators” and “cloudbusters” to supposedly capture this force for free energy, healing, weather control.
• Government Crackdown: The FDA banned, confiscated, and burned all related devices and publications in the 1950s. Reich died in prison.
• Hosts’ Verdict: They strongly denounce Reich as a dangerous fraud and degenerate, noting how easily such “suppression” narratives can obscure the actual dangers of certain “breakthroughs.”
  • “Let me be clear that this is not one of those situations. And the FDA was so real for burning all of this absolute creep's junk nonsense. And he should have been put in prison for way longer.” —Brian Sauvé [87:12]

5. The Allure and Folly of Free Energy

[91:26–98:59]

• Deeper Reflection: Ben and Brian discuss the “hunger” for infinite, free energy as a symptom of the fallen human condition, a desire to evade the limits, scarcity, and discipline God placed on creation.
• Planned Obsolescence & Consumer Manipulation: They relate the infamous “lightbulb conspiracy” of manufacturers intentionally shortening bulb lifespans to increase profits, and car companies designing in planned failures.
  • “This was like the beginning of planned obsolescence, where inventors were intentionally inventing things not to serve people, but to actually enslave them to this cycle of planned obsolescence.” —Brian Sauvé [97:19]

6. Final Narrative—Aliens, Echoes, and the Black Knight Satellite

[100:07–110:17]

• Tesla’s "Echoes": Recap of Nikola Tesla’s 1899 claim he’d received delayed radio signals from space—picked up by others decades later—accompanied by speculation on “the Black Knight Satellite,” a supposed alien device in Earth’s orbit.
• Mainstream Explanations vs. Conspiracy: NASA’s “thermal blanket” explanation is noted with skepticism; the allure of hidden intelligence persists.
• Spiritual Encouragement: The hosts close with a reminder that, no matter the mysteries or deceptions, God's sovereignty isn’t threatened—drawing a line between faith and technological utopianism.
  • “But his word will remain. And no scheme of hell can separate you or me from the eternal love of God in Christ. And even if an alien satellite orbits above us, does not God tell us that we wrestle against powers and principalities?...Take heart, Christian. There is still war to be done. But there’s nothing to fear.” —Ben Garrett [109:40]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Technological Drive:
  “With limitless funding, labor and authority, the Third Reich stood at the precipice of technological possibility. Unhindered by mainstream understandings of mechanical and quantum physics, Kamler and Mazieux intended to turn imagination into reality.”
  —Brian Sauvé [15:45]

• Ben on Government Black Programs:
  "What Brian is talking about is like, blacker than black funding and projects that basically take away all the red tape...I think that's a compelling theory." [46:02]

• On Human Temptation:
  "This appeal that we have is sort of like a desire to just get everything that we want and not actually have to pay anything for it. And it almost seems like a crutch to get away from learning the hard thing, which is how to wisely take dominion. We want to escape from entropy and from responsibility."
  —Ben Garrett [91:26]

• Riffing on Suppression & Conspiracies:
  “Dude, I have a message for Big Car. Hide because...Haunted Cosmos is on the case. They've raised the bat signal.” —Brian Sauvé & Ben Garrett [99:03]

Tone & Style

The hosts combine earnest investigation, dry humor, skepticism, and a strong Christian worldview throughout. They riff on each other with playful sarcasm and pop culture references—often breaking tension after a chilling historical story with jokes or debates about Cracker Barrel, Madagascar, or typist skills. The “emergency story mode” mini-stories bring fresh energy and breadth, while their criticisms are both pointed and, at times, moralistic.

Summary Takeaway

Haunted Cosmos S6E2 is a fascinating journey through history's strangest unsolved cases of technological suppression. Ben and Brian treat myths seriously but judiciously: most stories reveal more about human longing (and manipulation) than secret government miracles. The ultimate message is caution—not merely toward the ambitions of hidden power, but toward the unchecked desire for “free” mastery over nature, which can make us vulnerable to deception, folly, and spiritual ruin. Yet, all things are subject to a higher dominion—and "there is nothing to fear."
