The Why Files: Operation Podcast

The Why Files covers mysteries, myths and legends. We tell stories and seek the truth in a fun and lighthearted way. Our content is heavily researched; we don't release an episode unless we're sure we can bring something new to a topic.

In 1977, a remote Brazilian island experienced something unprecedented: systematic attacks on humans by unidentified flying objects. Victims reported glowing ceilings, beams of light, and blood extraction while paralyzed in their beds.

The Brazilian Air Force responded with Operation Prato (Operation Saucer), documenting hundreds of cases and gathering photographic evidence of unknown craft. Captain Uyrangê Hollanda led the investigation, eventually capturing images of objects hidden within the lights.

After decades of silence, Hollanda finally revealed what his team discovered, including his own terrifying encounter with the beings behind the attacks. Just weeks after his interview, he was found dead in his apartment.

The Colares incident remains one of the most well-documented UFO cases in history, raising uncomfortable questions about how governments handle first contact and why some files remain classified.

In 1993, four people gathered in a dark basement in Scole, England, hoping to communicate with the dead. What followed was five years of unexplained phenomena that challenged scientific understanding. 

Strange lights danced in the darkness. Objects materialized from thin air. Photographs appeared on sealed film. 

Scientists and professional skeptics were invited to investigate, and many left without explanations. The spirits claimed to be building a network between dimensions and warned of coming changes to humanity. 

Were the Scole Experiments genuine contact with the afterlife, or an elaborate magic show perfected over 500 séances? The evidence remains controversial, but the impact on those who witnessed these events was undeniable.

The history of medicine goes back to the dawn of mankind when ancient healers used special herbs to treat illnesses.

Hippocrates, the father of medicine, laid the foundation for modern medical practice: observation, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. His work set the stage for centuries of medical progress.

In the 19th century, Edward Jenner created a smallpox vaccine, and Louis Pasteur proved microorganisms caused disease. The 20th century brought antibiotics, medical imaging, and organ transplants. In the past 400 years, the human lifespan has doubled.

But something happened to medicine along the way. It became an industry. A profitable one.

President Eisenhower warned against creating a "military-industrial complex" because if you make war profitable, you'll always have war. He was right.

So, here's a cynical question: If you make illness profitable, will you always have illness?

In recent years, trillions have been spent on cancer research and therapies. That's a lot of people getting rich from a disease that's already been cured.

For decades, a piece of his skull sat in a Russian archive - our most decisive proof that the most evil man of the 20th century died in 1945. When scientists finally tested the bone in 2009, they discovered it belonged to a woman under 40. The evidence we trusted for over 60 years was fake.

Stalin insisted the dictator escaped to Argentina. The FBI conducted their longest manhunt ever looking for him. Recently, researchers found a military submarine deliberately hidden off Argentina's coast. When asked to investigate, authorities said no. They're still saying no.

The truth remains buried in sealed files across three continents. But the bigger question isn't whether he escaped - it's who helped him. Because if history's greatest monster survived, he didn't do it alone. He was protected by a network that reached from Berlin to the Vatican to Argentina -- to Washington D.C.

In December 1999, Sweden's most notorious UFO skeptic sat down for an interview that would challenge everything he believed. Ole K. had spent his career exposing hoaxes and debunking paranormal claims.

The being who called herself Lacerta revealed an underground civilization that had existed alongside humanity for millions of years. She explained humanity's true origins as a series of genetic experiments and warned of the imminent return of our creators.

From the mysteries of Derinkuyu to the truth about the dinosaurs' extinction, this story connects ancient mysteries to modern questions about human consciousness and evolution.

A mysterious data transfer lights up NSA monitors at 3 AM. Within hours, hospital records flash across Times Square billboards. Dating app messages spill onto every screen in the city. 

Bank accounts vanish. Traffic lights freeze. Autonomous vehicles crash through shopping malls. Intelligence agencies scramble as decades of encrypted messages suddenly unlock. Someone has broken the unbreakable - the mathematical foundations that protect everything from banking passwords to nuclear launch codes.

The quantum apocalypse arrives years ahead of schedule. But as chaos spreads, patterns start to surface. The timing seems too perfect, the targets too precise. 

Deep beneath the Pentagon, analysts notice something strange: some messages were decrypted months ago. The chaos isn't random - it's cover for something bigger.

Prophecies and power collided in one of history's darkest chapters. The Nazis didn't just exploit predictions—they built their rise around them, bending fate to their will.

Astrological charts, ancient texts, and mystics all seemed to predict Hitler's ascent, the devastation of World War II, and the horrors of the Holocaust. But these same prophecies also hinted at their inevitable downfall—revelations the Nazis sought to suppress.

From secretive astrologers to forbidden biblical passages, the eerie alignment of prophecy and history reshaped the world in ways we’re still uncovering.

Scientists discovered something impossible in Chernobyl's radioactive ruins - life is thriving where nothing should survive. Animals aren't just living in lethal radiation zones, they're evolving faster than nature should allow.

From Chernobyl to Bikini Atoll, creatures are activating ancient genetic sequences designed to process radiation. These same genes appear in human DNA, raising profound questions about our own origins.

The implications stretch from Earth's ancient past to humanity's future among the stars. What we're learning about life in Earth's most radioactive places is changing our understanding of human potential.

A summer barbecue transformed into a nightmare when lightning split the sky above Somerset, England. Peter Williamson dashed across his rain-soaked lawn to rescue his terrified dog, unaware that his next step would carry him beyond the boundaries of our world.

His family watched in horror as a blinding flash illuminated his silhouette against the stormy sky. When their vision cleared, Peter had evaporated into thin air.

The police launched a search, but found no footprints, no scorch marks, and no explanation for how a man could disappear from a walled garden. Sixteen witnesses swore they watched him vanish in plain sight.

Three days passed before Peter materialized in his backyard, wearing unfamiliar clothes and carrying items that defied explanation. His memories painted a picture of a hospital that both existed and didn't exist, where reality shimmered like heat waves rising from summer pavement.

The investigation into his disappearance uncovered something extraordinary: evidence suggesting Peter had slipped through a crack between parallel universes. His impossible story forces us to question everything we think we know about the nature of reality.

Deep beneath Earth's mountains lie secrets that could reshape our understanding of human history and technological capability. Mountains like Shasta, Hayes, and the pyramids of Giza possess qualities that defy conventional explanation - perfect alignments, unusual magnetic properties, and inexplicable energy signatures.

Military agencies have spent decades investigating these peaks through classified programs, and witnesses report strange phenomena that science struggles to explain. Ancient texts speak of mountains harboring tremendous power and describe technologies that sound remarkably similar to modern energy generation and distribution concepts.

Some of these mountains contain facilities that seamlessly integrate human and non-human operations, suggesting cooperation beyond what official sources acknowledge. The evidence points to a hidden truth: many of Earth's most prominent peaks might serve purposes far beyond their natural geological roles.

PROOF THAT EVERYTHING - INCLUDING GOD - IS A SIMULATION 

Is this reality? Well, we're experiencing ... something right now so maybe the better question is: *what* is reality? 

Could everything we see, everything we experience, everything that exists in our entire universe -- be artificial? 

Supporters of Simulation Theory believe that not only is it *possible* that we're living in a simulation; it's likely. And the more we look for evidence, the more we find. 

Philip K Dick believed deja vu was the simulation adjusting to new code. Many people experience The Mandela Effect, a or "false memory" shared by a large number of people. 

But the biggest clues of Simulation Theory come from science. Specifically: quantum mechanics. The only way the Double-Slit Experiment makes sense is if we live in a program. Quantum Entanglement also defies logic. Only our program would have the ability to defy the laws of physics - and the concept of time. 

Let's find out why.
