Tony Merkel joins Tim Pool, Shane Cashman, and Congressman Eric Burlison on The Culture War to talk about UFOs, strange aerial sightings, and possible alien encounters. Things get wild as they discuss deep underground bases, secret government programs, and even a real paranormal event that happened right in the studio. This episode explores what’s really going on—and what we’re not being told.

An unidentified flying object collided with a U.S. Air Force F-16 Viper fighter jet during a training mission over Arizona in January 2023, according to newly uncovered federal records. The impact damaged the jet’s canopy — the transparent dome over the pilot’s head — and temporarily grounded the $63 million aircraft.

From a possible UFO fight in Australian skies, to UFO sightings in Florida, New York, and Japan, check out this compilation of strange UAP clips around the world from MAVI UFOALARM.

Researchers in Canada have confirmed something extraordinary: living organisms emit a faint, natural glow known as biophoton emission—and that glow significantly dims or vanishes upon death.

You’re a mean one, Mr… Grunch? As if Louisiana didn’t already have enough going on— gators, voodoo, and hurricanes—let’s throw in a bloodsucking goat-goblin with glowing eyes. Meet today’s Creature Feature Friday: The Grunch!

What happens when you get too close to the truth? 3 Disturbing Visits from Men in Black dives into eerie, real-life encounters with mysterious figures who appear out of nowhere—and vanish just as quickly. From Albert K. Bender’s terrifying 1953 experience to a shocking run-in by Dan Aykroyd that led to the abrupt cancellation of his TV show, these stories blur the line between paranoia and reality. If you've ever questioned who, or what, might be watching, this chilling video will make you think twice.

In the heart of Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe, near the Chikwanha Shopping Centre, a mystery is idling in neutral — literally. For months now, a parked bus has drawn attention from spooked residents, amused skeptics, and at least one curious journalist. The vehicle hasn’t moved an inch, yet it seems to have a mind of its own — lighting up, playing music, and even hollering for passengers. So, is it time to call the Ghostbusters, or just a good electrician?

In a rare moment of candor, Dario Amodei, CEO of AI lab Anthropic, has admitted what many in the tech world have only whispered: no one truly understands how artificial intelligence systems function. In an eye-opening essay published on his personal site, Amodei pulled back the curtain on the inner chaos of AI development. “When a generative AI system does something—like summarizing a financial report—we have no idea, on a detailed level, why it made the choices it did,” he confessed.

Between 1977 and 1995, the CIA embarked on a bold and secretive journey into the unknown, funding a series of experiments that pushed the boundaries of science, intelligence gathering, and even reality itself. Known collectively as Project Stargate, the initiative explored remote viewing—a controversial form of extrasensory perception said to allow individuals to "see" distant locations or events using only the power of their minds.

New research is challenging everything we thought we knew about sleep and consciousness. Scientists have uncovered compelling evidence that lucid dreaming—a state where the dreamer becomes aware they are dreaming and can even control the dream—is not merely an intensified version of REM sleep. Instead, it represents a distinct and complex state of consciousness all its own.

Tony Merkel joins Troy Brewer to reflect on what it means to walk in God’s purpose during this time of transformation and discuss powerful testimonies of how God is moving in extraordinary ways—both seen and unseen. From supernatural rescues to miraculous baptisms, these stories reveal Heaven breaking through on Earth.

The following written confession was submitted via email:I don’t know if you hear this often, but this is what happened to me. I went to sleep one night and as soon as I fell asleep I was pulled to a location. When I came to, I realized that I couldn’t move, so I look around and see that I'm on a metal table and my arms and legs are shackled. As I look around I notice that I'm located in what looks like the bottom of a roman coliseum, in the part when the gladiators fight. It was night, and as I was studying my surroundings blue flames lit in between each doorway or archway….

High in the rugged terrain of eastern Turkey, nestled just three kilometers from the Iranian border and 6,500 feet above sea level, lies a geological anomaly that has sparked decades of speculation. Known as the Durupinar Formation, this boat-shaped landmass has been hailed by many as the possible resting place of one of the most famous vessels in human history—Noah’s Ark. Now, a new wave of scientific inquiry may bring us closer than ever to the truth.

A recent article from MIT Technology Review has sparked both scientific excitement and deep ethical unease. The focus? Bodyoids — lab-grown human bodies that lack the ability to think or feel pain. These mindless, sensationless forms could, according to some experts, be used in the future for organ harvesting or scientific research.

In a stunning leap of genetic science, biotechnology firm Colossal Biosciences has successfully brought back an animal long believed lost to time — the dire wolf, a prehistoric predator that last roamed North America over 10,000 years ago. Known for its bold ambition to resurrect extinct species, Colossal is also behind efforts to revive the woolly mammoth by 2028. But this year, the company made headlines by revealing that not only had it cloned four endangered red wolves — it had also successfully engineered the birth of three living dire wolves.
