608: Peru's Most Terrifying Mystery | The Face Peelers
In 2023, something began hunting people in the remote Amazon village of San Antonio de Pintuyacu. Witnesses described seven-foot beings in black armor with glowing yellow eyes, hovering on disc-shaped platforms, hunting for human faces.
Fifteen-year-old Talia barely escaped when two tried to peel the skin from her face with a laser device. She heard them speaking Spanish and English, planning their procedure.
For 500 years, the Ikitu people have told stories of the Pishtaco - pale-skinned beings who steal human fat and faces. Now the legend had returned with advanced technology.
Authorities blamed illegal miners with jetpacks. But the evidence suggests something far more sinister - advanced military technology entwined with a shadowy international trade in human lives.

607: Asteroid Apophis is Coming | Ground Zero: California
On April 13, 2029, an asteroid named Apophis will pass closer to Earth than our communication satellites. For the first time in human history, millions of people will watch a mountain-sized space rock race across the night sky.
NASA says we're safe, but Apophis is just the beginning. Scientists estimate 25,000 city-killer asteroids cross Earth's orbit, and they've only found half of them.
The other 13,500 remain completely hidden, somewhere in the darkness of space. Every three days, fragments from ancient comets bombard our planet.
Just 12,800 years ago, a cosmic impact reset human civilization and triggered a freeze that lasted over a thousand years. The evidence is buried in rock layers across four continents.
Today, we have the technology to fight back, but time is running out. The question isn't whether another impact will happen—it's whether we'll be ready when it does.

606: The Ancient Time Capsule Controlled by the Global Shadow Government
A Pentagon satellite detected an energy-shielded chamber beneath Romania's Bucegi Mountains. When an identical site in Baghdad activated simultaneously, world powers realized they faced an active ancient network.
Only a psychic Romanian intelligence officer could breach the lethal barriers. Inside, holographic technology revealed secrets that shadow organizations had sought for centuries.
The discovery triggered Romania's immediate NATO admission after years of rejection. The story comes from a single intelligence source with no verification, yet archaeological sites worldwide remain under military protection.
Something is being hidden from the public - but what?

605: The Greada Treaty | America's Alien Alliance (STRIPPED)
On February 20, 1954, President Eisenhower vanished for an entire night. The official story claimed a dental emergency, but that was a lie.
The President was at Edwards Air Force Base for the most important meeting in human history. Two alien races had arrived on Earth, each offering humanity a different path forward.
Eisenhower made his choice. The consequences of that decision have remained hidden for seventy years.

604: Cryptids Vol. 4 | Bunyips, Yowie and Australian Nightmare Fuel
Australia's Outback hides more than deadly snakes and crocodiles. Ancient creatures stalk the wilderness, leaving behind torn campsites, blood-stained trees, and terrified witnesses.
The Yowie towers eight feet tall, attacks isolated hikers, and left researcher Dean Harrison scarred for life. Water-dwelling Bunyips drag victims underwater while museums hide skull evidence that proves their existence.
Most disturbing are the Yara-ma-yha-who - red tree vampires that drink blood slowly, transforming humans into creatures like themselves. Aboriginal elders warned about these predators for centuries.
Police reports document modern encounters. Veterans and park rangers describe glowing amber eyes watching from shadows. Victims return from the wilderness changed, missing time and memories.
