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.

What would you do if you felt eyes watching you, turned around, and saw a seven-foot insect-like creature? Since 2006, people fishing along the Musconetcong River in New Jersey have reported encounters with exactly that – a being that looks like a humanoid praying mantis.

These aren't just sightings – witnesses report telepathic contact and the sensation of having their memories extracted. The encounters follow a consistent pattern: electronics malfunction, forests go silent, and witnesses experience a strange humming vibration.

What's even more compelling is that mantis beings appear in ancient artwork worldwide, from 8,000-year-old cave paintings to Egyptian texts. Are these interdimensional entities that have been watching humanity since the beginning of civilization?

We examine the theories – from evolved Earth insects to extraterrestrial visitors – and the strange possibility that these beings might be using the fault lines along the Musconetcong River as a doorway between worlds.

Ever think about someone you haven't spoken to in years, then they call you? You're not imagining things.

Carl Jung called these meaningful coincidences "synchronicities," and believed they reveal something profound about reality itself. The universe isn't random chaos—it's an organized, responsive system that actually listens to human consciousness.

From CIA experiments with psychic spies to ancient traditions that taught reality-bending techniques, the evidence suggests our thoughts influence the physical world in ways science is just beginning to understand. Twin boys separated at birth who lived identical lives, a balloon that traveled 140 miles to find another girl with the same name, and quantum physics experiments that prove consciousness affects matter.

These aren't just stories. They're glimpses into how reality really works - and how you can learn to influence it.

598: Synchronicities | The Science Behind Your Meaningful Coincidences (STRIPPED)

What if humanity has already been to Mars, but not in the way you think? This compilation reveals the hidden connections between secret space missions, ancient artifacts, and psychic experiments that span decades of cover-ups.

From Project Redsun's classified Mars missions using Apollo astronauts to the CIA's remote viewing programs that sent psychics to the red planet, the evidence points to a much deeper story. The famous Face on Mars wasn't just an optical illusion—NASA's explanation came with a major problem.

Ancient crystal skulls may hold the key to understanding Mars' true history as a moon of the destroyed planet Maldek. Soviet missions to Mars' moon Phobos encountered something that didn't want to be found.

These aren't separate mysteries but pieces of a larger puzzle about our solar system's violent past and humanity's hidden exploration of Mars.

600: COMPILATION: Mars Mysteries and Secret Missions

Al Bielek lived an ordinary life until vivid dreams and a late-night movie unlocked memories of an extraordinary past. He claimed to be Edward Cameron, a participant in the infamous Philadelphia Experiment of 1943.

Bielek's tale spans decades, involving time travel, secret government projects, and encounters with future civilizations. His story intertwines with the mysterious Montauk Project, allegedly continuing the work begun in Philadelphia.

As Bielek shared his experiences, he became a prominent figure in UFO and conspiracy circles. His accounts challenge our understanding of reality, raising questions about time, space, and government secrecy.

Was Bielek truly a time traveler, or was his story an elaborate fiction? Ride this rollercoaster of twists and turns, then decide for yourself.

561: Philadelphia to Montauk and Beyond | Al Bielek's Journey through Time and Space

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.

576: Operation Eagle Flight: The Escape from Berlin to Bariloche

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.

577: The Seventh Experiment: Lacerta Reveals the Truth of our Creation

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.

578: The Quantum Apocalypse: All Your Secrets Revealed

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.

580: DEEP DIVE: Nazi Prophecies

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.

579: Nuclear Powered Evolution | The Wolves of Chernobyl Reveal 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.

581: The Disappearance of Peter Williamson | Lightning Pants from Another Dimension

World War 2 has countless stories of bravery, sacrifice, camaraderie, and heroism.

But the war also has a lot of mysteries. Many of them still unsolved.

Like the legend of the Phantom Fortress.

A B-17 bomber that returned from a mission with no crew aboard; and somehow landed itself.

Let's find out why.
