Key Discussion Points & Listener Encounters

1. Playful Banter, Mortality and Abduction Fantasies

Start: 01:20

• The hosts kick off with jokes about "alienistesses" and what their podcast would be like if Sabrina were abducted or if one of them died.
• “If you were abducted, all of us would start a new podcast about finding you.” – Corinne (03:03)
• Sabrina admits to being obsessed with aliens and jokingly laments her continued lack of personal abduction experiences.
• Extended, comically morbid tangent about what would happen to the podcast if one of them died, including jokes about haunting each other and announcing deaths between ad breaks.
  • “She has died. [ad break]” – Corinne (04:37)

2. Story: 'My Boyfriend is an Alien' (Sam Squared)

Start: 07:06

• Listener Sam shares a quirky, unsettling story about her boyfriend, who believes he has alien abduction dreams.
• On their first psychic reading together, the psychic identifies him as an alien. Subsequent weird physical phenomena (protruding lump behind his ear disappearing, night terrors involving abductions) add to the mystery.
• Notable Quote:
  “One of the first things [the psychic] told him unprompted was, ‘You know you’re an alien, right?’” – Sabrina quoting Sam’s story (08:28)
• The boyfriend is viscerally disturbed by these topics, reinforcing the impression the abductions are traumatic, not fantasy.
• Corinne and Sabrina muse about the nature of alien abductions—is the soul or body taken? Do aliens cause physical changes? How does time pass aboard a UFO?
  • “Who’s to say what time is on a spaceship?” – Corinne (12:32)

3. Mass UFO Sighting in Monument Valley

Start: 13:20

• Listener recounts a mass witnessing of classic “flying saucer” lights by teachers, their families, and students across Monument Valley (Navajo Reservation, Utah).
• The tale is notable for its grounded, skeptical witnesses including a pharmacist and a mathematician.
• Video evidence was captured, and the event resonates with local Navajo beliefs and appears tied to widespread unexplained phenomena in the area.
• “I love when skeptics get serious.” – Sabrina (17:08)
• Discussion covers old phone tech, and how little documentation exists due to the era.

4. Men in Black: The Montana Grocery Store Routine

Start: 17:58

• Listener relates a story from a friend who lived near a restricted military base—every month, two pasty “Men in Black” would visit the only grocery store, pay with exact change, and interact with no one.
• Adds tales of UFO sightings, time lapses, and a mysterious nightly growling outside a window.
• Corinne and Sabrina riff on what the Men in Black could be buying for aliens (“just the animal crackers, the frosted ones!” – Corinne, 18:43). The segment is both creepy and oddly funny.

5. Area 51 Camping & Strange Nevada Lights

Start: 27:12

• Listener Layla and family camp ten miles from Area 51, seeking UFOs and using Ghost Tube apps for communication.
• Witnessed “weird moving lights…dancing in the sky. At least 30 of them.”
• Tried to film, but footage is indistinct. The hosts speculate about aliens performing a synchronized show.
  • “I like this idea of aliens doing synchronized swimming in the sky.” – Sabrina (30:34)
• Layla hints that her family’s land in Northern California is alive with Sasquatch and fairy activity—a future story promised.

6. A Message from the Beyond: Childhood Green Beings Encounter

Start: 32:20

• Jenny describes early Air Force base life and what may have been a real, traumatic childhood alien abduction or vivid sleep paralysis:
  • She woke up at four years old to see “three very tall, green, thin beings in purple capes” dripping water on her forehead.
  • They fled out her cracked window like “an octopus” when her dad entered.
  • “What is the droplet of water doing?” – Sabrina (35:32)
• Corinne and Sabrina debate the possibilities (mind-erasing liquid? a prank gone wrong?) and highlight the strangeness of purple-caped aliens.

7. Paranormal & Spiritual Messages

Start: 36:07

• Jenny also recounted real-life responses from lost loved ones: a rubber giraffe duck (her sister’s favorite animal) after her sister’s fiancé’s death, and a German scripture card talking about remembrance found in a thrift store book.

8. Apparition of a Monk & Alien Abduction (Sarah, UK)

Start: 41:38

• Sarah, a self-described witch from the UK, shares two experiences:
  1. Monk Apparition: While camping in Cornwall, Sarah and her boyfriend see a “solid black silhouette of a hooded person, bent over, peering into their tent.” Later, she dreams of white liquid; on researching the area, it ties to the mining history and a legend of St. Piran, depicted as a hooded monk and linked to the local landscape and their dream.
  2. Possible Alien Abduction: After a night out, Sarah and her boyfriend both experience a “missing time” event and physical aftereffects after a loud, inexplicable knocking and a vision of a blinding door of light. Sarah wakes with three circular bruises in a triangle on her arm.
  • “My body started to feel very heavy…I felt like a long needle had just been plunged into my spine.” – Sarah (via Sabrina, 46:31)
  • The hosts discuss sleep paralysis, shared experiences, and the implications of bruising or physical aftereffects, ultimately suggesting this was a “dual abduction.”

9. Speculating on Alien Intentions

Start: 51:47

• If humanity is a penal colony, are all “alien souls” criminals?
  • “What if all the criminals in space are sent to be humans?” – Sabrina (51:50)
  • “How frustrating to be put in a human body—that is prison!” – Corinne (52:19)
• Playful rumination on whether humans are the universe’s rejects.

Notable Quotes & Moments

• “Nothing’s changed. Another year has passed. I am still obsessed with aliens and I have yet to be abducted… I am devastated.” – Sabrina (02:42)
• “You know you’re an alien, right?” – (Psychic, relayed by Sabrina, 08:28)
• “Who’s to say what time is on a spaceship?” – Corinne (12:32)
