In this episode, we step into the mysterious and often unsettling world of “High Strangeness”, a phenomenon that stretches the limits of what people call reality. Drawing from first-hand testimonies, we explore experiences that range from the dreamlike to the downright impossible: encounters with non-human beings, moments when time and space seemed to fold in on themselves, and a deep sense that our world may be layered with something unseen.

The experiencers don’t just describe “UFOs” or “abductions.” They describe entire experiences that blur categories, psychic messages, strange symbols, hybrid realities, and people who walk out of thin air. For Bonnie Mitchell, that meant discovering she was being placed inside “fake scenarios,” artificial worlds that she could eventually recognize as holographic tests. For Jo Stillwell, it was waking in his bedroom to find himself trapped inside a perfect pyramid made of his own bedsheets while a luminous, blue-lit being stood silently at the foot of his bed. And for Mike Clelland, it was camping alone under the Utah stars and realizing that the “light behind the bush” he dismissed as nothing might have been the start of a life-changing contact, one that later revealed itself in hypnosis to be connected to something far larger than a single night.

Through these voices, “High Strangeness” takes us to the edge of reason, where normal explanations collapse. Listeners will hear about the emotional toll of these experiences, the struggle to remain grounded, and the search for meaning afterward. Some witnesses believe they were part of experiments; others describe messages about humanity’s future or their own spiritual evolution.

What ties all of this together isn’t just mystery, it’s pattern. Across continents and decades, different people report eerily similar sensations: paralysis, blue light, missing time, telepathic commands, and the deep feeling of being watched by something both intelligent and beyond comprehension.

On September 16th of 1994, more than sixty schoolchildren witnessed something extraordinary during their morning recess. They described seeing a disc-shaped object land in a patch of bush near the schoolyard. Even more astonishing, many of them said small beings with large, black, oval-shaped eyes appeared beside the craft. The children reported that these figures did not speak but seemed to communicate directly into their minds, showing them visions of environmental destruction and warnings about the dangers of technology.

What makes this case unique is not only the number of witnesses but also the consistency of their testimonies. Interviews conducted at the time show children of different ages and backgrounds describing the same event in calm, serious detail. Their drawings of the craft and beings were strikingly similar, suggesting a shared experience that could not easily be dismissed.

Shortly after the incident, two well-known investigators documented the case. Cynthia Hind, a respected African UFO researcher, interviewed the children and collected their drawings. Soon after, Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack traveled to Zimbabwe. He recorded hours of video testimony, concluding that the children were sincere and had been deeply affected by what they experienced.

Nearly three decades later, many of those children, now adults, still speak about that day in the same terms. They continue to affirm what they saw and describe the event as one of the most vivid and impactful moments of their lives. Their consistency over time has kept the Ariel School UFO incident at the center of serious discussions about unexplained aerial phenomena.

In this episode, we examine the details of the encounter itself, the messages the children claimed to receive, and the investigations that followed. We also consider why this case remains so significant in UFO research and how it has continued to influence the debate about human perception, memory, and the possibility of extraterrestrial contact.

The Ariel School incident is not just a story about UFOs. It is also about the nature of witness testimony, the resilience of memory, and the challenges of investigating extraordinary claims.

John's soon to be published book 'THE ABDUCTION AMNESTY KNOT'

In a time when governments admit the reality of UFOs and whistleblowers risk everything to testify about encounters with non-human intelligences, The Abduction Amnesty Knot dares to ask the hardest question of all: what now? Drawing on decades of military experience, behavioral science, and firsthand accounts from PRP-qualified service members, Dr. John G. Blitch, LTC, USA Retired, uncovers disturbing patterns of abduction, concealed technologies, and deep trauma—with evidence that’s physical, not just anecdotal.

Part memoir, part manifesto, and part psychological reckoning, this book blends high-level military insight with deeply personal stories to challenge the limits of belief and open a case for something radical in the age of disclosure: forgiveness. With dark humor, unflinching analysis, and compassion for the abducted and the unaware alike, Blitch doesn’t just document the hidden truths of our past—he charts a course for the kind of future humanity may still be worthy of.

Bio

Dr. John G. Blitch (LTC USA RET) is a retired cognitive scientist and former DARPA Program Manager with a career spanning nuclear weapons delivery, Special Forces, and artificially intelligent robotics. In addition to his many military deployments, Colonel Blitch’s field experience includes a multitude of disaster response activities—most notably in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing (1995), World Trade Center attacks (2001), and Hurricane Katrina (2005). Holding a doctorate and multiple master's degrees in cognitive science and engineering, he has taught at the U.S. Air Force Academy and led pioneering research programs in robotics and human-machine teaming.

Dr. Blitch’s work has taken him from war zones and classified laboratories to rubble piles, ski slopes, and mysterious mountain bike trails. Along his journey, he has accumulated a wealth of personal and professional experience that has compelled him to confront uncomfortable truths about artificial intelligence, hidden trauma, and institutional silence. Known for his unconventional thinking and sharp skepticism—often turned inward—he now dedicates his voice to advocating for truth, accountability, and above all, forgiveness in the face of unthinkable terror.
