    Apr 11 2023
    Episode Notes We finally bring a close to the second part of our two-parter and I am relieved to have finally been able to finish this episode to be completely honest with you. A lot of things changed in the last year, and unfortunately that meant I wasn't able to meet every obligation in a timely manner like I'd wanted to, namely this podcast... A few key developments have occurred since we last visited this topic, and we'll be exploring those in this episode. If you've returned, I thank you for your undying patience and I appreciate your ears.

    The Mystery of the Somerton Man
    Jun 29 2022
    Episode Notes

    During an evening stroll at the tail end of November in 1948, a couple walking along Somerton beach in South Australia noticed a man laying on the ground with his back leaned against a seawall. Our first episode in what I plan to be a two-parter will focus mostly (though not completely) on what direct witnesses of the man stated during a Coronial Inquest some months after his discovery. From common passersby to medical examiners and police officers, they gave their testimonies, and the details from these reports arose the building blocks of a mystery that hasn't been solved some 70+ years later. I hope you enjoy the episode, if you wish to reach out, the email address for the show is contact@nathanknowsnothing.com Thanks for stopping by!

  • A UFO Crash Outside of Laredo?

    A UFO Crash Outside of Laredo?
    Apr 20 2022
    Episode Notes

    A UFO was said to have gone down in the summer of 1948 about 40 miles southwest of Laredo, Texas. This episode we'll explore all the details surrounding this story, and see if there is any plausibility to these claims. It was stories like this one that used to keep me up until the early hours of the morning when I was a kid, where I spent my weekend nights combing the net for stories of the unknown. I enjoyed focusing on one subject for this episode, and hope to do more episodes like this in the future.

  • A Few Ghost Ships

    A Few Ghost Ships
    Nov 27 2021
    Episode Notes

    On this episode we check out three different examples of ghost ships and their stories, including a merchant vessel that, for a time, was a luxury yacht of the Hollywood elite, a once proud five-masted schooner run aground under mysterious circumstances, and the bizarre tale of a freighter ship found drifting with the entirety of it's crew deceased on board. This one was a bit of a challenge to put together, I honestly didn't really know what I wanted to do with it while I was gathering the information. Eventually, I got a clearer picture of how I wanted to share these stories with you all, and this episode is the result! Thanks for checking it out!

    Episode Notes Join me for an examination of Cults as a concept in general and then we'll look into what types of folks join them, some "recruitment" techniques that they employ, and what some people are willing to do to remove their loved ones from the grasp of whatever movement they believe has overtaken them.

    Cold War Espionage
    May 10 2021
    Episode Notes Well this was a fun one to get into, can't say what really spurred my interest in this subject recently, but I've always liked stories of spies behind enemy lines and I guess I was due for taking a deeper dive into the era most famous for that kind of thing. Most of my knowledge beforehand basically revolved around some early 00's History Channel documentaries and maybe Metal Gear Solid 3?

    Show Notes The first episode! I wanted to get this started by revisiting some alleged ancient pyramids that I remembered seeing on message boards and "unknown phenomena" type websites from about twenty years ago. I just had to know what had developed with those stories and that got me wondering what ancient monuments might really be out there that I wasn't aware of. Doing this episode has only made me want to look into more archaeological mysteries and in time I'm sure I will.
