100: Are all the UFOs an invasion or has Project Blue Beam finally begun?

In 12th century England, two children were found lost in a forest. They spoke only gibberish, wore strange clothing and had bright green skin. When the children finally learned to speak English, they described where they were from. And that's why, after almost 1,000 years, people still talk about The Green Children of Woolpit.   In 1828, a teenage boy was shuffling through a public square in Nuremburg. He seemed confused and disoriented. He had trouble walking and speaking. When police finally approached him, he was holding an envelope containing two letters. And those letters sparked the mystery of Kaspar Hauser.   In April 1922, in Brittany, France, 2-year-old Pauline Picard went missing. A massive search turned up nothing. The family was losing hope.   A month later, Pauline was found wandering around a village over 200 miles away. Though her parents were overjoyed to have her back, they soon realized something wasn't quite right with their daughter.   These are three unsolved cases of the most mysterious children in history. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support

In the past year or so, three internet mysteries popped up that really got my attention. They may seem very different, but trust me, they're connected.  The first one is about a girl who found a door in the basement of her AirBnB. She opened it and inside was an abandoned shopping mall.   The second story is about Javier aka Unico Sobreviviente, who woke up in a hospital in the year 2027, in an alternate universe. In his version of the future -- everyone on earth has vanished. He's the only one left, and he has video to prove it.   The third mystery is known as the Backdoors. A reality adjacent to ours that, if the conditions are just right, you can accidentally slip into. Then you find yourself lost in an endless maze of dingy carpet, fluorescent light, and yellow wallpaper.    And around every corner-- --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support

The Moon is a Hollow Spaceship | Who Built it and Why?   Despite it being humanity's constant companion through all of recorded time, the moon is still a mystery.   Science hasn't been able to explain how the moon was formed, its unusual orbit, its distance from us, its density, its composition, its structure. These are all still questions.   There are theories about the moon that solve some of these puzzles, but not others.   There is only one theory that answers every scientific question about the moon. Just one.   That the moon is a hollow, artificial structure, brought here by -- someone else.   Let's find out why. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support

Vatican City is an inspirational place. You don't need to be Catholic or even religious to appreciate the architecture, art, and the city's historical significance. But there is a place within the Vatican that's rarely seen. Hidden beneath the city is an underground fortress. Inaccessible to the public and protected by armed guards and state-of-the-art security. The Secret Apostolic Archives. Within the stone and steel reinforced walls are vaults, climate controlled rooms and over 50 miles of shelves. And on those shelves are countless texts, relics and artificacts collected by the church for over a thousand years. One of the most intriguing objects hidden in the archive is called the Chronovisor. A device that can view events anywhere and any time in history. For years, its existence was just a rumor. No proof of the Chronovisor was ever found. But a book released by a Vatican priest would change all that. Let's find out why. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support

THE BLACK KNIGHT SATELLITE In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1. It was the first satellite in Earth's orbit. Or was it? For over a hundred years, an object has been seen, heard and *photographed* by people all around the world. This object became known as the Black Knight Satellite. The signals coming from the Black Knight Satellite have been decoded. And if the translation is correct, it's been watching us for 13,000 years. The existence of the Black Knight Satellite has been confirmed by astronauts, but covered up by governments. It's been filmed by astronomers, but the film erased. Supporters of the Black Knight Satellite have been shunned and ridiculed, but now they're speaking up.  Let's find out why. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support

Imagine you wake up one morning and notice everything around you is just a tiny bit different.   Maybe you're in the same house, but furniture is slightly out of place. Your favorite coffee mug is there, but it has a crack you don't remember. You could have sworn your coffee maker was black, but this one is chrome.   Just as you think you're going crazy, you feel a strange tingling sensation; and hear a buzzing in your ears. A flash of light; the buzzing stops, and you feel dizzy.   As you regain your balance, you look around. Everything seems back to normal. The coffee maker *is* black, your mug is *not* cracked.   What was that? A dream, your imagination? It seemed so real. Are you just overtired? Are you going crazy?  Or maybe, you somehow slipped through the multiverse. For a brief moment, you switched lives with yourself in an alternate reality.   There are documented cases of this happening to people all over the world. Usually, the differences between realities are small. But every once in a while, the changes are so different, that you're another person entirely.   This happened to a man traveling through a Tokyo airport. When he presented his passport, the authorities were baffled.    The passport was genuine, the only problem was, the country that issued it? It didn't exist.   ---- SUPPORT THE WHY FILES & GET A WHOLE BUCKET O' PERKS 🙏https://www.patreon.com/thewhyfiles --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support

OPERATION: HIGHJUMP   Operation Highjump commenced in August 1946. It was the largest, most heavily armed naval task force ever sent to Antarctica.  Leading the mission was Admiral Richard E Byrd, one of the most famous naval officers in history.   The official purpose for the expedition was scientific research and military training. But that was just a cover story. Operation Highjump had other goals.   One was to extend American sovereignty over Antarctica. Something that was denied many times by the US government.  Another was to locate and destroy a secret Nazi base.  AND, capture the nazi's new secret weapon: the flying saucer.   UFOs were seen all over the area; suspected to be Nazi test flights. Admiral Byrd was sent to find out.   When he finally arrived to Antarctica, he found a lot more than that.   Let's find out why. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support
