On April 25, 1977, Corporal Armando Valdez was guarding a campfire in the Chilean mountains. Just before dawn, he saw a glowing purple mist. Valdez walked into the mist and vanished. Fifteen minutes later, he stumbled back into camp. He was shaking. He collapsed. His men checked him over. He seemed fine except for one detail. When Valdez left, he was clean shaven. When he returned, he had a short beard and his watch had jumped ahead to April 30th. He was gone for 15 minutes. But he lived for five days. And Valdez's story isn't unique. This phenomenon has appeared all over the world for centuries. Different cultures call them different names. We know them as time storms. The Valdez case follows a pattern that is repeated around the world for hundreds of years. In 1947, a British military convoy was driving through the mountains of Nepal. This was dangerous territory. Bandits were everywhere. The group included local soldiers, a British colonel and his wife, Donna. Donna was sitting in the back of a truck when the temperature dropped. Instantly. She said it felt like someone flung open the door to a glacier.

Oh, I just walked into my second ex wife's bedroom. She was so cold in the bedroom that I got frostbite on my honeymoon.

Donna looked up. A reddish cloud was floating just above the ground. About the size of a two story house. And it was moving toward them. The local villagers took one look and ran. They called it a vision. And they knew the only way to survive was to hide. The colonel ran toward the cloud to investigate. He got about 20ft before he collapsed. It looked like he hit an invisible wall. Then the red cloud got brighter. It circled the truck where Donna was sitting. She felt electricity in the air. Her skin tingled. Her hair stood up. A low voltage current ran through her body. Then the world went silent. No wind, no birds. No engine noise. Donna saw one final image. Soldiers frozen mid stride. Her husband motionless on the ground. Then everything went dark. When she opened her eyes, the cloud was gone. And hours had passed. For Donna, it had just been seconds. The convoy regrouped. Everyone had a red rash on their exposed skin, like a severe sunburn. Soldiers were vomiting. The colonel was dizzy and couldn't walk. 11 witnesses. Physical symptoms consistent with radiation exposure and a gap in time nobody could explain. British researcher Jenny Randall spent decades collecting cases that shared the same symptoms. First, the silence. All natural sound stops. No crickets, no traffic. Just dead air. Then the tingling, like static electricity before a lightning strike. Then the mist. Sometimes red, sometimes green or white, but it always glows. Then time breaks. Hours vanish. People find themselves in places they can't explain, sometimes hundreds of miles away. And after the physical toll? Nausea, rashes, headaches, disorientation. Medical exams documented burns and rashes that appeared during these episodes. Electronics die. Car engines stall. Radios only play. Static. Watches stop or leap forward. Cell phones lose signal. And then there's the isolation. Even people surrounded by crowds report feeling utterly alone. The rest of humanity fades away like they've stepped into a pocket universe. Randalls calls this the Oz factor. Like Dorothy ripped out of Kansas, suddenly you're somewhere else. A different place and a different time. Randall's had plenty of witnesses who lost time. Minutes, hours, sometimes days. But she did find one case where a pilot didn't lose time. He outran it. A thoughtfully built wardrobe comes down to pieces that mix well and last. That's where Quince shines. Premium fabrics, thoughtful design, and everyday essentials that feel effortless to wear and dependable even as the seasons change. Quint makes the staples I reach for constantly. Lightweight cashmere sweaters, linen pants and shorts, and tees made from 100% Pima cotton and European jersey linen. These are the versatile pieces that make a wardrobe actually work season to season. Lately, the Mongolian cashmere polo has become a go to for me. I can wear it in the studio, then head straight out to dinner and still look completely put together. It's incredibly soft, looks polished, and honestly feels way more expensive than it is. And Quint keeps things affordable by working directly with top factories and cutting out the middlemen. So you're not paying for big brand markups or fancy retail stores right now. Go to quints.com the Y files for free shipping and 365 day returns. That's a full year to build your wardrobe and love it. And you will. Now available in Canada too.

He'd flown this route dozens of times. His destination was Palm Beach, Florida. The weather was clear. The flight is exactly 75 minutes. Halfway to Florida. Gurnan saw a cloud formation ahead. A lenticular cloud.

Testicular cloud. I didn't make a cream for that.
- [06:31]
A.J. Hacklefish
Lenticular cloud. That's the one that looks kind of like a flying saucer.

Co-host/Sidekick
Ah, that makes more sense.

But this cloud was massive and it was growing. Gurnon tried to climb over it. The cloud rose with him. He banked to go around it. It expanded to block his path. The cloud wrapped around the plane. A swirling tunnel of gray mist. With bright flashes of light. His compass started spinning. His navigational instruments failed. The artificial horizon began to roll. Gernon looked ahead. A small patch of blue sky at the end of the tunnel. His only way out. He pushed the throttle forward. The tunnel started to close. The 10 mile gap shrank to 1 mile. Then a half mile. Then smaller and smaller. The wings scraped the edges of the cloud. He shot through the gap just as it collapsed behind him. He expected to see the ocean, but he didn't. He just gray haze. No horizon, no sea, no sky. Just gray in every direction. His instruments were dead. He grabbed the radio and called Miami Air Traffic Control. They couldn't find him on radar. No aircraft appeared anywhere between Miami, Bimini and Andros. He was a ghost. Then the radio crackled. Miami picked him up. The controller said, I have a target directly over Miami Beach. But that was impossible. Miami beach was 250 miles from where he entered the cloud. The top speed of a Beechcraft Bonanza is 200 miles per hour. That flight takes 75 minutes, minimum. Gurnan checked his watch. He'd been in the air for 34 minutes. Then the fog dissolved and Miami beach was right below him. He landed at Palm beach shortly after. Total flight time, 37 minutes. He saved nearly half an hour. Gurnan spent the rest of his life researching that day. He wrote two books and documented over 75 similar encounters in the same area. We call this area the Bermuda Triangle.

Pilots and sailors have reported the same luminous fog for decades. The same instrument failures. Some traveled impossible distances in impossible times. Some went into the storm and never came out. Bruce Gurnan entered the storm and moved faster than physics allows. The next Witness was a Royal Air Force commander. He also survived the storm. But while he was in it, he didn't just move fast. He saw the future. In 1935, Wing Commander Victor Goddard flew his biplane over an abandoned airfield called Drem. He knew the place. Hangars falling apart, tarmac cracked and full of weeds, cows grazing on the Runway. A few days later, he flew back along the same route when the weather turned and a storm hit. But this wasn't a normal storm. The clouds weren't gray or white. They were glowing yellow. His biplane was tossed around like a toy. Rain hammered the open cockpit. The plane dropped toward the ground, and Goddard braced for a crash. Then, in an instant, the storm vanished. The rain stopped. The sky turned bright and sunny. Goddard looked down. He was directly over Drem airfield, but it wasn't abandoned anymore. The hangars were repaired. Mechanics in blue overalls were working on the tarmac. And four aircraft sat on the Runway, each painted bright yellow. One of them was a monoplane, a single wing design Goddard had never seen before. None of this made sense. In 1935, RAF mechanics wore brown overalls. RAF training planes were unpainted. Aluminum monoplanes hadn't entered the fleet. Seconds later, the storm slammed back. He fought through it and landed at Andover. He reported what he saw, but Nobody believed him. Four years later, in 1939, the RAF reopened DREM for World War II. They painted their training aircraft yellow. They introduced a new monoplane trainer called the Miles Magister. And they changed the mechanic uniforms from brown to blue. Every detail Goddard saw in 1935 became reality in 1939. This is a wing commander. Not a crackpot, but a decorated officer in the Royal Air Force. He looked through a gap in a storm and saw four years into the future. He wrote about it in his book, Flight Towards Reality. Now, most witnesses lose time. Goddard gained it. But if you can slip into the future, can you also slip into the past? Well, according to two families in France, you can.

October 1979. The Simpson and Gisby families were driving through France, heading for a vacation in Spain. They were looking for a place to sleep near Mont Lamar. As they drove down a rural road, the Oz factor hit. The car engine faded. The traffic vanished. They drove in eerie silence until they saw an old looking hotel. They pulled in. The road wasn't paved. It was cobblestone. Inside, there were no phones, no elevators. The windows had wooden shutters, but no glass. The staff wore uniforms that looked like they were out of an old movie. A policeman walked by wearing a heavy cape and hat from the First World War. They had dinner, took photos in the dining room and stayed the night. The next morning, the bill for four adults and children, including dinner and breakfast, was 19 francs, less than a cup of coffee. In 1979, Mr. Simpson asked the policeman for directions to the highway. The officer looked confused. He'd never heard of a highway. They left, got back on the main road, and the sounds of the world returned. Two weeks later, on their way home, they decided to stop at the hotel again. Cheap, good food, why not? They drove down the same road, found the same turnoff, but the hotel wasn't there. No cobblestone road, no old building, just a grove of trees. And when they developed their film, the photos of the families in the dining room didn't exist. The negatives were blank. When they drove down that road, they ended up 70 years in the past. But Randall's found something worse than blank film. These storms leave physical scars. In 1977, teenager Mark Henshaw was riding his motorcycle near Barnard Castle in England. Suddenly, a purple glow swallowed him. His motor died, but he kept rolling. Then he was pulled uphill about 300ft against gravity when the glow vanished. Henshaw's leather jacket was smoking.
- [14:23]
Co-host/Sidekick
He wore a smoking jacket like Hef. Did he also have a captain's hat and a harem of hens fighting over his inheritance?
- [14:30]
A.J. Hacklefish
Not. Not a smoking jacket. A leather jacket that was soaked a minute earlier. The water evaporated instantly from intense heat. The metal on his bike Was so hot that he got third degree burns. And another one in 1992 in Hungary. A woman driving saw a white light rush toward her windshield. Her engine and lights died. She woke up hours later in a snowy field. No tire tracks led to the car. There was no road nearby. Doctors found burn marks on her body consistent with electrical discharge. And when they checked the car, the door handle had been fused to the body by heat. Then there's the case of Steve in Kansas. Steve was on a road trip with friends in 1979. They pulled over at a construction site so he can use a porta potty. When he went in, the sounds of his friends disappeared. The air went silent. He felt a wave of dizziness. He unlocked the door, stepped out and fell face first into the dirt. The construction site was gone. The porta potty was gone. His friends were gone. He was standing in an empty field. He walked to the nearest road, flagged down a car, and found out he was 600 miles from where he started. He teleported 600 miles in a Porta Potty.

Get it, get it. Randall's realized that if you step back and look at the big picture, these stories sound familiar. UFOs, alien abductions, ghosts, missing time. They aren't different mysteries. They're all connected and they're all timestorms. Jenny Randalls looked at her 300 cases. Then she looked at the entire history of paranormal research. UFO sightings, alien abductions, ghost encounters, near death experiences, missing time, poltergeist activity. She made an argument that nobody considered. They were all the same thing. Betty and Barney Hill may be the most famous alien abduction case in history. In 1961, they drove through the White Mountains of New Hampshire. They saw a strange light. They felt disoriented. They arrived home two hours late with no memory of what happened. Now strip away the UFO narrative and look at the raw facts. A couple driving at night encountered a light disorientation. Missing time, amnesia. Their car's instruments malfunctioned. They later recalled the experience as a vivid, dreamlike episode. That's a time storm. But what about the aliens, the entities people see? Well, Randall's found a clue. People who walked into these storms often report a specific sensation right before the time shift. A pressure. Witnesses describe a heavy pressure from above. Not like wind, like a weight pressing down on them. And the pressure feels alive. One witness described it as an intense feeling of being watched. Like an invader A consciousness pressing against them. So the storm isn't just weather, or at least our brain doesn't interpret it as weather. Canadian neuroscientist Michael Persinger built a device nicknamed the God Helmet to test this. He aimed weak electromagnetic fields at the temporal lobe. Test subjects reported exactly what time storm witnesses described. The sense of a presence, time distortion, feelings of floating out of body experiences, vivid hallucinations of beings.

Co-host/Sidekick
Yeah, I feel like this after eating Blupus gummies.
- [18:05]
A.J. Hacklefish
If you walk into a strong electromagnetic field like a time storm, your brain might interpret that energy as. As a person or a ghost or an alien. Jacques Vallee came to the same conclusion from a completely different direction. He argued that UFO encounters weren't extraterrestrial. They were signs of some other phenomenon, something that interacted with human consciousness and operated by rules we didn't understand. Three researchers, three countries, completely different methods, but the same conclusion. The phenomenon is real. The popular interpretation is wrong. If electromagnetic fields could produce these experiences in a lab, then natural electromagnetic events, time storms, could produce them in the wild. So time isn't as stable as we believe. And now we have the science to prove it.

This isn't folklore. It's physics. The laws of the universe actually support the existence of time storms. Einstein's theory of relativity proved that time is not constant. It's flexible. Time passes differently depending on speed and gravity. An astronaut traveling near light speed ages slower than people on Earth. GPS satellites experience time faster than we do. On the ground, engineers adjust the satellite clocks every day to adjust for this. At the speed of light, time stops completely. From the perspective of a photon, the moment it's created and the moment it's destroyed happen at the same instant. A photon can travel across the universe for billions of years. But for the photon, zero time has passed. Time storms are electromagnetic phenomena, but so is light. Randalls believes these storms are pockets where the rules of light speed physics take over. Bubbles of electromagnetic dominance. Inside the bubble, local time could be frozen. Minutes outside could equal days inside. Or days outside could equal seconds inside. But there's something else going on here, something you've probably felt yourself. You walk into a room and freeze. You know this room, you know this moment. You know exactly what someone is about to say before they say it. Deja vu. Scientists tell us it's a brain glitch, a misfire between short term and long term memory. But what if it's not? What if deja vu is a micro time storm? A momentary slip where your consciousness brushes against the moment you've already lived. This ties into the block universe theory. Many physicists believe the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously. Imagine a loaf of bread. The past is the heel at one end, the future is the heel at the other. We're just a slice in the middle, but the whole loaf exists at once. Every moment that has ever happened or will ever happen is already there.
- [22:04]
Co-host/Sidekick
So the universe is a loaf of bread?
- [22:06]
A.J. Hacklefish
It's a metaphor.
- [22:07]
Co-host/Sidekick
What kind of bread? Because if it's a King's Hawaiian roll, I'm interested. If it's that government subsidized white bread, yeah, I don't trust it.
- [22:15]
A.J. Hacklefish
We experience time as flowing, but that's a limitation of our consciousness. Our mind moves through the block universe like a cursor scanning a document. A time storm could knock that cursor loose. An intense electromagnetic anomaly could disconnect a person from their normal timeline. They might skip forward, loop backward, experience hours, while the world experiences seconds. Then there's the many worlds interpretation. Science fiction author Philip K. Dick was obsessed with this. He believed time wasn't real. He believed what we experience is time, is actually us moving through different versions of reality. He called it orthogonal time. He believed parallel timelines ran right next to ours. Infinite versions of Earth, Infinite versions of you. And sometimes those timelines bleed together. Now, if many worlds is true, a time storm isn't a glitch in a clock. It's a collision between universes. So when Goddard saw the airfield of the future, he wasn't looking forward in time. He was looking sideways into a parallel world where the war had already started. When the family and France found the hotel, they weren't in the past. They were in a reality where that hotel never closed. The framework for travel between worlds exists. These aren't just storms. They're doorways. And some people have accidentally learned to walk through.

The Valdez case, the Nepal convoy, the electronic fog, the hotel in France. Great stories, but are they true? Well, let's start with the skeptics. The biggest problem with the time storm theory is the lack of hard data. We have stories, but we don't have a single recording. No video of a teleporting car. No footage of a glowing cloud. In the age of smartphones and dash cams, you'd think we'd have caught one by now. Then there's the brain. Temporal lobe epilepsy explains almost every symptom of the OZ factor. The silence, the feeling of a presence, the time distortion, the vivid hallucinations. Persinger proved in a lab that you can induce these feelings with magnets. If you're Driving through a magnetic field caused by tectonic stress. Your brain might glitch. You might feel like you lost an hour. You might hallucinate a glowing cloud. The geology where Valdez disappeared creates electromagnetic anomalies which could explain his experience. The Gurnan case also has a logical explanation. The jet stream. Catch a 100 mile an hour tailwind and you're going to get to Florida early. If you're stressed and flying through clouds, your perception of time is unreliable. 34 minutes can feel like 70. In the Goddard case, he wrote that book in 1975. That's 40 years after the event. Memory is tricky. He saw a storm in 1935. He saw the airfield renovations in 1939. Over 40 years, his brain might have merged those two memories into one great story. So, case closed. It's all in our imagination. Well, not so fast. Hallucinations don't leave physical traces. In the Nepal case, 11 people saw the same cloud and got the same radiation burns. Mass hallucinations don't cause sunburns. In the Hungary case, a woman's car door was fused shut. These are documented. Mark Henshaw's leather jacket was smoking. A brain glitch doesn't melt metal or leather. And then there's Valdez. Valdez left with a clean face. He came back 15 minutes later with a short beard. Now you can hallucinate a purple light and even a time jump, but you can't grow five days worth of stubble in 15 minutes.
- [27:23]
Co-host/Sidekick
Hell yeah. Turn it to my ex wife's legs.
- [27:26]
A.J. Hacklefish
Anyway, that's biological evidence documented by his own men. And if Philip K. Dick was right about orthogonal time, then hallucination is the wrong word. He spent his life trying to warn us that our world wasn't solid. That other worlds, other timelines, press against us. The glitch isn't in our brains. The glitch is in the barrier between worlds. I have a strong sense there is a lot more to reality. And I bet you do too. PKD believe that what we call reality is just a collective illusion that keeps us from seeing the chaos underneath. But every once in a while, the illusion breaks, the signal drops, and the storm rolls in. And for just a few seconds, you can see the truth.

The Roswell Al just fought the smiling man I'm told and his name was cold But I can't believe I'm p with the F shit and fish on Thursday nights with a J2 and we all through the night All I ever wanted was to just hear the truth all through the night. The mothman sightings and the solar storm still come to Agatha the secret city underground mysterious number stations Planet Circle 2, Project Stargate and what the dark watchers found Been a simulation don't you worry though the Black Knight satellite it don't miss so I can't believe I'm dancing with the f Had fish on Thursday nights with they J When the W on through the night all ever wanted was to just hear the truth to the waffles on my feet all through the night. On Thursday nights when they change you and weapons I'll do. The truth.
