    Podcast Summary

    • Encounter with atmospheric creatures and Merkel MediaMister E from Cryptids of the Corn Podcast shared a bizarre encounter involving a giant being killed and small gray entities, while discussing lesser-known atmospheric creatures like sky snakes, cyanophores, jellyfish, and manta rays. NASA has discovered life in the upper atmosphere.

      The speaker, mister e from the Cryptids of the Corn Podcast, shared a bizarre encounter involving a giant, atmospheric creatures, and Merkel Media. He described witnessing a giant being killed by a group of people, and then being pulled off the bed by small gray entities. The episode they are recording is a deep dive into the topic of atmospheric creatures, which are believed to exist in the upper atmosphere, and include beings such as sky snakes, cyanophores, jellyfish, and manta rays. The speaker emphasized that this is a lesser-known aspect of UFO sightings, and that NASA has even discovered life in the upper atmosphere. The discussion started with an explanation of the layers of the atmosphere before delving into the fascinating and often unexplained phenomena of atmospheric creatures.

    • Contrary to common belief, the Earth's atmosphere gets warmer before colder in certain regionsThe Earth's atmosphere exhibits temperature inversions, where it gets warmer before colder, particularly in the transition between the stratosphere and mesosphere. Unique adaptations among marine species and potential explanations for UFO sightings may be linked to these extreme conditions.

      Our understanding of the Earth's atmosphere, particularly temperature changes as we ascend, is more complex than what is commonly taught. Contrary to the belief that it gets colder the higher we go, there are inversions where it gets warmer before getting colder again. This is particularly true in the transition between the stratosphere and the mesosphere. This region, which is similar to the open ocean in its lack of cover and harsh conditions, has led to unique adaptations among marine species, such as the blanket octopus' ability to mimic other animals and the blue sea dragon's bright colors and toxicity. Similarly, some UFO sightings may be explained by organisms adapted to these extreme conditions, with their metallic appearance and opening sides or tentacles. Overall, this discussion highlights the importance of recognizing the complexity and diversity of our planet's natural world.

    • Aquatic organisms adapt to blend in and survive in extreme environmentsAquatic life forms have evolved to thrive in various extreme conditions such as extreme depths, temperatures, and pressures by blending in and adapting to their surroundings for survival.

      Living organisms in various aquatic environments have adapted to blend in and survive by mimicking their surroundings. From silver-looking creatures in the open ocean to plant-like organisms, and even gigantic jellyfish, these organisms have evolved to thrive in their extreme environments. The lack of pressure in the upper atmosphere and the extreme pressure in deep oceans are just two examples of such extreme environments. Organisms like blobfish have adapted to live in extreme depths, where they look nothing like their surface forms when brought up. Temperatures in these environments can range from extremely cold to relatively mild, and many life forms, including the longest-living mammal, the bowhead whale, have adapted to thrive in these conditions. These adaptations are crucial for survival, as standing out isn't always the best strategy in nature.

    • Exploring the Open Ocean's Unique Species and ExtremesThe open ocean houses unique and long-lived species, including bowhead whales, krill, jellyfish, and even extremophiles in the upper atmosphere, all adapted to their extreme environments.

      The open ocean is home to a variety of unique and long-lived species, such as bowhead whales and krill, which is why they are found in cold, nutrient-rich waters. These animals have adapted to the harsh conditions with slow growth and long lifespans. Some, like whale sharks, give live birth and their offspring can swim away immediately after birth. The open ocean also has creatures that reproduce in unusual ways, like jellyfish, which can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Recently, scientists have discovered that life exists in the upper atmospheric parts, which was previously believed to be barren. These extremophiles have adapted to fill niches in extreme environments, such as sulfuric vents and acidic springs. The discussion also touched on the idea that some large creatures, like whales and fish, return to specific areas. This could potentially indicate that they are going back to breed.

    • Discovering Thousands of Species in the StratosphereNASA researchers found thousands of species of jellyfish, fungus, bacteria, plants, algae, and insects in the stratosphere, leading to an estimated 11,000 species in this unique ecosystem. The larger organisms were consuming the smaller ones.

      Researchers David j Smith and Samantha m Waters of NASA Ames Research Center discovered an abundance of life forms in the upper atmosphere, far beyond what was initially expected. Starting in 2014, they sent up tiny housing units, similar to "bug hotels," and left them in the stratosphere. They initially thought they might find a handful of species, but instead, they discovered thousands of species of jellyfish, fungus, bacteria, plants, algae, and even insects. The larger organisms were consuming the smaller ones, leading to an estimated 11,000 species in this unique ecosystem. Despite the fascinating findings, the study was not widely publicized by NASA, making it difficult to access. It's believed that the study may have been halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The researchers have made significant contributions to the field of discovering life in the upper atmosphere, and their work challenges our understanding of where life can exist.

    • Discovering Life in the Sky: Keebler's LawScientists found organisms in the upper atmosphere that behave like plankton, follow niches, and thrive due to stability and energy efficiency. Larger organisms, like 'whales in the sky,' can conserve energy and adapt, proving Keebler's Law.

      Scientists have discovered organisms in the upper atmosphere that behave similarly to plankton and other life forms in the ocean. These organisms, often referred to as "whales in the sky," follow the same niches as their ocean counterparts. The upper atmosphere, despite being a harsh environment with radiation and limited resources, is stable and safe for these organisms due to its lack of volcanic activity and the ability of larger organisms to conserve energy, move efficiently, and take advantage of food sources when they appear. This phenomenon, known as Keebler's Law, suggests that larger animals are more energy efficient and can better adapt to their environments, whether on land or in the sky.

    • Life in Extreme Environments: The Ocean's Depths and the AtmosphereLife thrives in extreme environments, from the deep ocean to high radiation areas in the atmosphere, through various adaptations.

      While the open ocean and deep ocean have distinct ecosystems with different laws governing their organisms, both environments host life that can adapt to extreme conditions. Brigham's law of deep ocean gigantism, which relates to the size of deep-sea creatures due to limited food sources, mirrors the concept of conservation of energy in the open ocean. The atmosphere, despite being the largest habitat on Earth, is often overlooked due to misconceptions about the radiation levels and the ability of life to survive there. In fact, many organisms, including tardigrades, can not only survive but thrive in high radiation environments. These extremophiles have various adaptations, such as fast regeneration or the ability to absorb radiation, that enable them to survive in these harsh conditions. Additionally, some organisms, like fungus, can even benefit from radiation by using it as a food source. Therefore, the assumption that there is no life in extreme environments due to harsh conditions is not accurate, as life continues to surprise us with its ability to adapt and thrive in the most unexpected places.

    • Organisms with unique radiation metabolism survive in extreme nichesSome organisms, like fungi and certain animals, can metabolize and dispose of radiation, enabling them to thrive in extreme environments where traditional food sources are scarce. Radar and sonar struggle to detect low-density, organic beings, but close-range methods are more effective.

      Certain organisms, such as fungi and some animals, have the ability to metabolize and dispose of radiation in unique ways. This process may involve transferring the energy into a different form rather than excreting it as waste. These organisms, including some that live in extreme environments, have evolved to survive in niches where traditional food sources are not available. Radar and sonar have difficulty detecting low-density, organic beings due to their design to pick up high-density materials. Organisms like whales and potential UFOs can be difficult to detect with long-distance radar and sonar, but close-range methods are more effective. Convergent evolution is a phenomenon where animals in similar niches develop similar traits, such as sharks and dolphins, despite some differences in behavior and body structure.

    • Organic UFOs: Could giant manta rays explain Tic Tac encounter?The Tic Tac UFO encounter could potentially be explained by giant manta rays exhibiting unusual flight behaviors and bending gravity.

      The Tic Tac UFO encounter described could potentially be explained by organic, otherworldly creatures, such as giant manta rays, exhibiting unusual flight behaviors and bending gravity. The witness' description of the object's slow, winged movement, its ability to appear and disappear on different types of radar, and its size and shape, aligns with some reported sightings of these types of organic UFOs. These creatures, often described as having large wing-like structures and a centralized body, can appear manta ray-like, but may also have cone-like heads and tendrils. The fact that the encounter took place over land and in the absence of a body of water adds to the intrigue. However, it's important to note that this is just one possible explanation, and more research and evidence is needed to confirm the validity of these claims.

    • Encountering Awe-Inspiring Natural PhenomenaWitnessing large, non-threatening animals or natural phenomena can evoke deep emotions and a sense of connection to nature, highlighting the importance of preserving it.

      The world is full of awe-inspiring natural phenomena that leave people in awe and emotion, such as the giant manta rays found in various bodies of water. These creatures, which can grow up to the size of a blue whale, move gracefully and slowly, making them a sight to behold. Witnesses often report feeling emotional or even crying upon encountering these gentle giants. The Ohio River Manta Ray, a well-documented encounter, is one such example where two unrelated parties reported seeing the same creature, a manta ray-like figure, doing figure eights in the river. The phenomenon of seeing large, non-threatening animals can evoke a deep sense of connection to nature and its beauty. Another example is the Twister Worm, a cyanophore sighting in Oklahoma City, where a storm chaser witnessed a long, corrugated tubing-like object inside a tornado. These encounters remind us of the wonders of nature and the importance of preserving it.

    • Encounter with a Giant Worm-like Creature in a TornadoA witness reported seeing a 150-foot long, hammerhead-shaped creature in a tornado, believed to be a predator with a long, slender body and gas-filled chambers, possibly originating from the upper atmosphere.

      The eyewitness described an encounter with a large, worm-like creature in a tornado, which they estimated to be at least 150 feet long. The creature, with a wide, hammerhead-like head, was likely a predator with a long, slender body and possibly gas-filled chambers. The witness believed the creature got stuck in the tornado and likely died, as atmospheric creatures are soft and squishy and dissolve quickly. The creatures were speculated to have large jaws, possibly resembling hammerhead sharks. These creatures, which may be active predators, could be coming down from the upper atmosphere and getting stuck in storm systems. The encounter left the witness disturbed and they never went tornado chasing again.

    • UFO sighting of jellyfish-shaped object in China in 1998Over 140 people observed a jellyfish-shaped UFO in China in 1998, near mountain ranges rich in nutrients. Creatures like jellyfish and manta rays may be transported to the upper atmosphere by wind currents and use updrafts to conserve energy.

      Unusual phenomena, such as UFO sightings and jellyfish in the sky, continue to intrigue people around the world. In the given account, a UFO sighting occurred in China in 1998, where a jellyfish-shaped object was observed by over 140 people. The incident took place near mountain ranges, which are known to be rich in nutrients that attract various creatures, including jellyfish and manta rays, to the atmosphere. The theory suggests that wind currents push these nutrients up into the atmosphere, creating a high-density food source for creatures in the upper atmosphere. These creatures use the updrafts as a means of transportation, conserving energy for their journey back up to the upper atmosphere. While the existence of these creatures remains a subject of debate, the fascination with unexplained phenomena continues to captivate people's imagination. As for the bodies or remains of these creatures, the topic was not addressed in the given discussion.

    • Mysterious substances falling from the sky throughout historyUnexplained falling objects or substances, like the Kentucky Meat Shower and Star Jelly, have puzzled scientists and researchers for centuries, with theories suggesting they could be due to atmospheric phenomena or remains of large organisms.

      Throughout history, there have been numerous reports of unidentified objects or substances falling from the sky, such as the famous Kentucky Meat Shower of 1876 and more recent Star Jelly events. These phenomena, which have been documented in various cultures around the world, have left scientists and researchers puzzled. Some theories suggest that these substances could be the result of atmospheric phenomena or even the remains of animals or organisms that die in the upper atmosphere. For instance, the larger the animal or organism, the faster it falls and the more likely it is to be shredded by the atmosphere, resulting in large chunks or gooey substances. While the exact origins of these phenomena remain a mystery, they serve as a reminder of the vastness and complexity of the natural world.

    • Unexplained phenomena of meat falling from the sky and unusual cloud formationsThroughout history, there have been reports of unexplained phenomena involving meat falling from the sky and unusual cloud formations, which may suggest the existence of unknown creatures living in our atmosphere or unusual weather phenomena with mysterious properties. Continued scientific exploration is crucial to understanding these phenomena.

      There are numerous unexplained phenomena throughout history involving meat falling from the sky and unusual cloud formations. For instance, there's a story about a man who dropped turtles from a hot air balloon instead of turning them in, and people couldn't identify the meat they found. Another story involves a pink fog in Florida that behaved like a carnivorous creature, consuming meat. There's also an account of a town in Louisiana that was rained on with gar fish bones during a storm. These stories may suggest the existence of unknown creatures living in our atmosphere or unusual weather phenomena with mysterious properties. Additionally, there are reports of cloud formations that appear to have fish scales and hide animals, further adding to the intrigue. These stories, though seemingly bizarre, highlight the unexplored depths of our natural world and the importance of continued scientific exploration.

    • An Unusual Cloud Formation Sparks CuriosityAn unexplained cloud formation can challenge our understanding of the world and remind us of the unknown wonders that exist beyond our current knowledge.

      During a chilly, cloudy evening at a stadium event, a massive, dark cloud resembling a UFO hovered over the crowd, causing a moment of silence and anticipation. Despite the eerie appearance, the cloud did not bring rain and eventually passed. The speaker reflects on the possibility that what they witnessed could have been an organic creature, reminding us that our perception of the world is limited by our senses and understanding. The discussion also touched upon the existence of life in the upper atmosphere and the limitations of what we can observe in the sky. Overall, the encounter served as a reminder of the unknown and the importance of keeping an open mind.

    • Government involvement in creating creature narrativesResearchers believe 'Cloverfield' drew inspiration from real-life events and government collaborations, potentially making it a form of 'soft disclosure'.

      The 1993 film "Cloverfield" may have drawn inspiration from real-life events and government collaborations. Before the movie's release, researchers uncovered stories of government involvement in creating creature narratives. The podcast "Cribs of the Corn" had already delved into this topic, releasing episodes before the movie's trailer even dropped. This discovery could suggest that the film was a form of "soft disclosure," feeding the public information in a palatable way. The researchers believe that several different types of creatures might have influenced the final product. As professionals, they invite listeners to check out their podcast for more in-depth discussions and to sign up for their website or email list. They express gratitude for the opportunity to share their findings and wish everyone a happy holiday season. As the podcast sign-off suggests, "The truth will set you free? But first, it'll piss you off."

    663: Stranger Things Of The Unseen Realm

    663: Stranger Things Of The Unseen Realm
    In episode 663: Stranger Things Of The Unseen Realm, Chad Riley joins to discuss his documentary Skinwalkers & Stranger Things Of The Unseen Realm. This gripping conversation uncovers the mysteries of hitchhiking spirits, remote viewing, and the occult connections between Jack Parsons, Aleister Crowley, and military endeavors. Chad explores the thought that shadowy interdimensional activities are possibly sponsored by government and military, entwined with sorcery and arcane rituals. Tony and Chad then discuss the recent shift in public dialogue about UFOs, highlighted by figures like Tucker Carlson, sparking widespread intrigue and skepticism about otherworldly realms. They then attempt to breakdown the concept warfare and factional struggles within these unknown dimensions, their ties to ancient deities, secret societies, and intelligence networks. Finally, confront the chilling concepts of realm-traversing portals, screen memories, and the manipulation of human perception by elusive entities. This was a jam-packed episode, with some incredible discussion.

    RELOADED | 502: Lost Treasure and Secret Petroglyphs of Virginia

    RELOADED | 502: Lost Treasure and Secret Petroglyphs of Virginia
    In Episode 502: Lost Treasure and Secret Petroglyphs of Virginia we are joined by Justin, Lance, and Ryan from the Appalachian Intelligence podcast, who reached out months ago regarding some unusual pictures they had taken in Virginia. Buried in the hills of Virginia, there is a huge rock that Justin, Lance, and Ryan stumbled across, with petroglyphs etched into its face. As they sought out answers to their discovery, the mystery became much deeper. With the information they’ve since been given, they are now joining in on a hunt for the lost treasure of the Swift Silver Mine, which might have a direct connection to their secret petroglyph boulder.

    Introducing: Free The Rabbits

    Introducing: Free The Rabbits
    How deep down the rabbit hole have you gone? Do you currently reside there? If so, it's time to touch grass and get your tail out of the hole!

    “Free The Rabbits” is a new podcast by Joel Thomas that explores the conspiratorial world without getting lost in the proverbial rabbit hole. It's easy to attribute negative causes and effects to events that don't make sense around us. While sometimes there might be a valid case for such machinations, there's just as likely a simple explanation. Joel Thomas doesn’t shy away from the weird, supernatural, and paranormal, but he offers a unique perspective on conspiracies. He acknowledges that theories are just that—possibilities, not provable facts.
