A new YouGov survey shows that belief in extraterrestrial life has firmly entered the American mainstream. What was once a fringe idea is now a majority view: 56% of Americans say aliens definitely or probably exist, and nearly half believe those visitors have already made their way to Earth. For many, the question is no longer if extraterrestrials exist, but when we’ll encounter them again.

When AI robots start landing like superheroes, China rolls out combat-ready humanoids, and a surveillance screen at Skinwalker Ranch morphs into the words “I LIVING,” you know it’s getting weird. In this Slingshot Nation Live replay, I break down the rise of AI house robots and military humanoids, what happens when tech is wired to the cloud and allowed to learn from our lives, and why this all feels a lot less “cool future” and a lot more dystopian prophecy. From Black Friday chaos to boycotts, Stranger Things, Dark, and the spiritual cost of a world built on subscriptions and smart machines, we’re asking: what happens when the devices stop serving us and start serving something else?

Artificial intelligence has become one of the most powerful tools available to everyday people, capable of generating ideas, explaining complex concepts, and assisting with work at lightning speed. But as helpful as AI can be, it can also become dangerously misleading when users begin to treat it as a sentient authority or a source of validation for untested beliefs. A chilling case out of Wisconsin illustrates just how quickly things can spiral when AI becomes a mirror for a vulnerable mind.

Organ transplants are one of modern medicine’s greatest achievements. A failing heart or damaged kidney can be replaced, giving people a second chance at life. But for many recipients, the miracle comes with an eerie side effect—one that science is only beginning to acknowledge. After the surgery, some people start to feel… different.

Mind-control weapons have long lived in the realm of sci-fi and conspiracy lore, but two British researchers warn they may be edging into reality. Michael Crowley and Malcolm Dando of Bradford University, experts in chemical and biological weapons, say advances in neuroscience are creating new tools that could alter consciousness, perception, and behavior with frightening precision.

Human trafficking may be happening where most people never think to look: out on the open sea, in the dark zones of international waters where ships vanish from satellite view and people disappear without a trace. This morning we’re exploring how modern trafficking networks could be operating across the ocean, and then pushing deeper into the supernatural side of the topic — from portal-related disappearances connected to places like the Bermuda Triangle to the chilling possibility that some victims are taken through non-physical means.

Deep in the river valleys of Taylor County, West Virginia, a strange legend has lingered for more than sixty years — a hulking, pale-skinned creature so massive and so silent that early witnesses didn’t know whether they’d encountered an animal or something entirely unknown. Known today as The Grafton Monster or The Beast of Grafton, this headless-looking giant first appeared in the summer of 1964 and quickly became one of Appalachia’s most unnerving mysteries. Here are five fast facts about the creature that left a permanent mark on the hills around Grafton.

Scientists may be closing in on a bold explanation for dark matter… one that involves a portal to a fifth dimension. A new study published in The European Physical Journal C revisits the “Warped Extra Dimension” (WED) model introduced in 1999, suggesting that particles may travel into a curved, hidden dimension beyond the familiar four. This revived idea could provide the missing link physicists have been searching for.

The viral “6-7” chant has taken over culture—echoing through stadiums, classrooms, TikTok videos, and livestreams—yet almost no one understands where it came from or why it spread so fast. This video traces the trend back to its unlikely source: Philly rapper Skrilla, whose song “Doot Doot” contains the now-famous “6-7” line. What begins as a harmless meme unravels into something far darker as his openly practiced Santería, Palo rituals, animal sacrifices, and spell-casting come to light.

The following written confession was submitted via email: …For years sleep hasn't been my friend. I'd wake up gasping for breath, arms locked - crossed over my chest and covered in an absurd amount of sweat. I always attributed it to stress or something of that nature, but when I heard Vicki talk, it stopped me dead in my tracks. For the first time in my life I was acutely aware that I was actually a victim of spiritual attacks….

Academy Award–winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, known for unsettling films like mother! and the horror-thriller House at the End of the Street, says some of her scariest moments didn’t happen on a movie set. They happened in New Orleans. Lawrence shared the stories on the “Las Culturistas” podcast, where she talked about “really bad” hauntings she experienced in New Orleans while filming her 2022 movie Causeway, as well as in Charlotte, North Carolina.

A futuristic showdown between man-made intelligence and ancient beasts — this episode dives into the blurred line between technology and the supernatural. From AI robots and self-driving trucks to cryptids breaching realms, the moon landing hoax, and what’s coming next — we’re pulling back The Thin Veil of Reality.

The following written confession was submitted via email: Back in I think 2016 I was out in the deep woods of Trinity County in California. A friend of mine came in to the camp where another friend and I were hanging out and told us, “you guys have got to see this.” We followed him out to a clearing and said look! It wasn’t like it was difficult to see…

COMING THIS FALL! The Counter is a new series on ODX.TV exploring the clash between light and darkness, faith and deception, and the spiritual realities often ignored by mainstream media. Hosted by pastor and broadcaster Troy Brewer, the show dives into supernatural encounters, prophetic insight, and the unseen warfare shaping our world.

When people come back from the brink of death, their stories often sound eerily similar: glowing light, heavenly beings, and the sense of crossing into another realm. Researchers interviewed 48 people who had near-death experiences (NDEs), asking them to describe and even sketch what they saw as they hovered between life and death.
