What’s happening at the suspected Noah’s Ark site in Turkey? Tony sits down with the lead investigator of the Durupinar site for an exclusive interview about the latest developments and the ongoing search for Noah’s Ark. Slingshot Nation, we’re switching things up today. Tony had an opportunity to go straight to the source and talk about the news coming out of Turkey, so we’re bringing that conversation to you in place of our usual format. What are investigators reporting, what could it mean, and how close are we to getting answers about this mysterious formation? Watch the interview, hear the update firsthand, and let us know where you stand. Could the Durupinar site hold the remains of Noah’s Ark?

Loch Ness is seeing a sharp rise in reported monster encounters this year. In August, the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register had logged nine sightings for 2026, putting the year just one report behind the 10 sightings recorded during all of 2025. Now, only about a month later, the 2026 total has climbed to 17.

The latest UFO disclosure drop may be connecting dots that have been sitting in plain sight for decades. We dive into newly released UAP material involving strange craft encounters, unexplained injuries, warp-drive concepts, wormholes, government contractors, and the $22 million program connected to Skinwalker Ranch—where researchers investigated everything from UFOs and orbs to poltergeist activity and Bigfoot-like creatures. But what if these stories aren’t separate at all? We examine reports of massive cloud-like UAPs, government research into breakthrough propulsion, Bigelow-linked programs, and the possibility that the most important data has never been made public. From Skinwalker Ranch to interdimensional theories and secret aerospace research, this episode asks whether the latest disclosure is finally revealing pieces of a much larger picture.

September 26, the last Saturday of the month, is National Ghost Hunting Day, a perfectly normal occasion dedicated to voluntarily entering dark places and asking unseen occupants to make themselves known. Whether you think haunted locations are genuinely active, psychologically unsettling, historically interesting, or some combination of all three, there are still a few approaches that seem unnecessarily ambitious. So in honor of the day, here are ten things we would strongly consider not doing.

Researchers investigating the boat-shaped Durupınar formation in eastern Türkiye have moved beyond radar scans and surface surveys and are now physically drilling into the site, producing one of the most direct tests yet of claims surrounding the possible location of Noah’s Ark.

The Pentagon has released its sixth batch of records on unidentified anomalous phenomena, adding 71 files to the government’s growing public archive of UFO-related material. The release includes 55 PDFs, 15 videos and one audio recording, with documents dating from 1952 through 2025. Most contain at least some redacted information. Among the most notable records are documents connected to the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program, or AAWSAP, a Defense Intelligence Agency initiative established in 2008 to examine advanced aerospace threats and technologies that could emerge through 2050.

Something strange is happening at the top of the AI industry. OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, and xAI’s Elon Musk are suddenly sounding similar warnings about the pace of advanced AI development. At the same time, former OpenAI and Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon is raising alarms about the race toward artificial superintelligence. In this episode of Slingshot Nation, Tony, Jack, and Derek break down the AI 2027 scenario, self-improving AI, the global race with China, government systems like Sentient, and the growing concern that AI may soon advance faster than anyone can control. Are these warnings simply preparation for what’s coming—or have the people closest to the technology already seen something that changed the conversation?

Is demonic possession becoming more visible in public? In this episode of Slingshot Nation, Tony, Jack, and Derek examine several disturbing recent stories, including Jonathan Cahn’s attack on an airplane, the Lindsay Clancy case, and the shocking Times Square stabbing in New York involving a woman armed with large knives who continued advancing after police deployed Tasers. The guys ask whether these incidents could point to something deeper happening spiritually or whether there are other explanations that need to be considered. The conversation will break down the signs of demonic possession, demonic influence, spiritual oppression, unusual behavior, hostility toward God, and other traits traditionally associated with demonic activity in Scripture and Christian teaching. How can believers distinguish between mental illness, criminal behavior, spiritual warfare, demonic oppression, and possible possession without jumping to conclusions? This episode explores demonic possession, spiritual warfare, demons, deliverance, Jonathan Cahn, Lindsay Clancy, the Times Square stabbing, biblical demonology, and supernatural encounters, while asking one central question: Are we witnessing a rise in demonic possession?

Messianic rabbi and author Jonathan Cahn says a disturbing confrontation aboard a commercial flight took on a supernatural significance for him after an apparently friendly conversation with another passenger suddenly turned violent.

What happens when entire islands appear, disappear, and leave behind no trace? Today on Slingshot Nation, Tony, Derek, Jack, and Brian (Tony & Jack’s dad) are diving into the mysteries of floating islands, the Philadelphia Experiment, MH370, UFOs, and the possibility that secret technology could be crossing the boundaries between worlds. They’ll also explore strange manuscripts, occult knowledge, supernatural encounters, and the idea that humanity may have gained access to things it was never meant to understand. Could these disappearances be connected, and are we seeing evidence of something moving through the veil?

In this Slingshot Nation, we’re diving into the mystery of what may be hiding beneath our feet. We’ll revisit the legend of Mel’s Hole and ask whether these strange pits could be more than abandoned wells or natural formations. Then we’ll head to Mount Shasta, where a man claims he was secretly hired to dig deep into the mountain without ever being told what his crew was actually searching for. As the stories unfold, we’ll explore whether hidden underground activity, government involvement, and something unexplained beneath the surface could all be connected.

A violent storm. A hotel-wide emergency broadcast. Contaminated water. A gate ripped from its entrance. And unexplained static erupting through the sound system just as Tony prepared to preach about supernatural warfare. Coincidence? Or was something pushing back? In this episode of Slingshot Nation, Tony, Derek and Jack unpack the bizarre string of events surrounding Remnant Rising and the moment Tony believes spiritual authority was handed off to him. From suspected spiritual opposition and strange technical interference to past moments when unexplained voices, knocks, and disruptions appeared during The Confessionals, the question becomes impossible to ignore: can supernatural warfare manifest in the physical world? They also dig into the biblical framework behind the conversation, including elemental spirits and the storms of Mark 4 and 5. Was the chaos surrounding Remnant Rising simply a brutal storm and a series of technical failures, or was something trying to stop the message before it could be delivered? Welcome to Slingshot Nation

The Loch Ness Monster may not be ready to step (swim?) into the spotlight, but 2026 is already shaping up to be a strong year for sightings. According to the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register, the latest reported encounter is the ninth sighting of 2026, which means this year has already surpassed all of 2025 with months still left on the calendar. In other words, if Nessie is real, she’s apparently become a little less camera-shy.

American vampires, occult rituals, blood-drinking covens, human sacrifice, underground tunnels, and a cancelled Netflix vampire documentary. How deep does this rabbit hole go? On this episode of Slingshot Nation, we investigate the disturbing world of America’s vampire underground, beginning with the mysterious disappearance of George Gaul and claims that he was sacrificed as part of occult vampire activity in Dayton, Ohio. His story was set to be explored in the Netflix documentary Vampires in the Gem City, but after years of work, the project was unexpectedly cancelled before its release. We connect George’s case to other bizarre accounts and firsthand encounters covered on The Confessionals, including James’ terrifying experience from Episode 512, Desert Portal Death Cults. From vampire covens and blood rituals to occult groups, underground clubs, secret tunnels, and unexplained encounters, the connections raise unsettling questions about what may exist beneath the surface of American culture. Are these simply isolated stories or evidence of something much larger? How deep does the American vampire underground really go?

The mystery of Loch Ness just got even stranger. With six new Loch Ness Monster sightings this year, reports of intense UFO activity over the loch, and eerie connections to deep water, portals, and the supernatural, we're asking whether these phenomena are all part of the same mystery. Plus, we revisit the growing Black Panther reports from East Tennessee and explore why these impossible encounters keep happening.
