Oh No, Ross and Carrie

Ross and Carrie examine the claims of Corey Goode, who rose through the ranks of UFO speakers and alleged abductees, ultimately landing himself a recurring gig on Gaia TV before being quietly ejected. Enter Jason Rice, a new Gaia talking head on the very same show, who claims that he – like Corey – was a member of the Secret Space Program, and is in contact with the Blue Avians (™) that Corey either met or (some might say) created. With Corey suing Gaia and others over his “intellectual property,” does that mean it’s… not real? We have social media: X! Facebook!

Carrie tells Ross about a presentation she attended at Contact in the Desert 2023, a Palm Springs UFO conference. Speaker Caroline Cory has, for twenty years, been bringing “as much science as possible” to the study of paranormal topics like extraterrestrial contact, telepathy, information downloads, and mental health. Ross and Carrie analyze this claim. Plus, roving reporter Drew Spears attends a UFO videography class taught by the mysterious Mr. M. We have social media: X! Facebook!

Ross tells Carrie about “The People’s Advocate,” Daniel Sheehan, a DC-based attorney who specializes in Constitutional law and UFO disclosure.

Ross and Carrie announce an exciting upcoming live event, then review Linda Moulton Howe’s “Strange Harvest”, a (local) EMMY WINNING documentary that put everyone’s favorite ufologist / investigative journalist on the map. As Linda walks through a field of literal bullshit, she describes twelve mutilation reports from ranchers and law enforcement, all suggesting that someone is out there, mutilating ranch animals. But who? Ross and Carrie have some ideas, but Linda sees too many strange contradictions. We have social media: X! Facebook!

HOWE does she do it?! Carrie attends radio DJ Jimmy Church’s absurdly chummy “Disclosure Lunch,” where Jimmy lets you know JUST HOW GOOD OF FRIENDS he is with Linda Moulton Howe, Whitley Strieber, Danny Sheehan, and other UFO-whistleblower luminaries. While Carrie identifies the cheap pasta sauce, Jimmy obliquely hits on one speaker who claims she is an alien, then shakes each speaker down for a secret. Plus, somehow, Linda manages to bring Carrie to her knees with a single, passing question. Suddenly, Carrie is the one disclosing at the Disclosure Lunch. Pull up some Ragu and hear Ross hear this whole story for the first time. We have social media: X! Facebook!

Ross and Carrie read the 1987 UFO memoir Communion, by alleged abductee Whitley Strieber. What happened on the night of October 10, 1985? What could possibly explain the blue light that fills the family cabin in the middle of the night? Why did Whitley wake up suddenly, filled with dread? Why did his personality change from this moment on? And why didn’t he connect any of this to aliens until three months later? Our intrepid author will answer you in only 299 pages. PLUS, something surprising: Carrie and Ross don’t agree on a movie. We have social media: X! Facebook!

Ross and Carrie ponder new revelations in Whitley Strieber’s recent presentation, “Them,” which he calls “a deep dive into the nature of individual communication with ‘The Visitors.’” These alien beings come to Whitley (and others) from distant stars, to harvest our sperm and trade metals. Whitley compares his own experiences with those detailed in 36 years of fan mail. We have social media: X! Facebook!

Ross and Carrie show up for a “live” chat with the dead, featuring none other than Thomas John, the Seatbelt Psychic medium made infamous by Operation Onion Ring. He tells everyone to lower their standards, then barely grazes the details of a few of their dearly departed. Then, he shares the details of the “thoughts, feelings and impressions” given to him by the spirits, and how they differ from sights and sounds. We have social media: X! Facebook!

Ross and Carrie introduce you to the faith healer taking off on social media, live from her L.A. church. The bright-eyed apostle once came to Hollywood as a would-be actress and EDM singer. Then one day, a prophet of God stopped her dreams in their tracks with these words: “You are an apostle of Jesus Christ, and you're called to reach the nations. I see you ministering to the masses, and God doing shocking miracles through you.” That’s when she began to cast out demons and “heal” the sick, but not without controversy. Ross and Carrie uncover some of the online turf war, and Carrie wonders if this is her in a parallel life. Meet Kathryn Krick! We have social media: Twitter ! Facebook !
