QAA was known as the QAnon Anonymous podcast.
Welcome to the QAA podcast premium episode 311, UFO of God.
As always, we are your host, Jake Rakotansky, Liv Agar, and Travis View.
It was so difficult for me not to do something like episode 311, Amber is the color of their energy.
I really thought about it.
I was like, I thought about three different 311 jokes that I could possibly, but I was like, it doesn't work and it's not going to be good for the SEO.
It's going to be bad.
Are you even familiar with 311, Liv?
This is a band that was popular when we were in high school, Jake.
You don't know 311?
Amber is the color of your energy.
Oh, it's a band.
I see.
It's a band, yeah.
Did you think it was like a number you called?
The only 311 I know is like that Eric Andre skit where he's making fun of the Investigate 911 guy.
And he's like, Investigate 311.
And they start dancing.
Oh, yeah, because it's the band.
That'd be a funny band to like start.
I don't get the joke.
That's really funny.
I was just like, it's funny.
He used a different number.
It's funny, different number.
Yes, they were kind of like, I don't know, like sublimey, kind of like reggae ton almost, but like, you know, stonery.
Yeah, stoner white guy reggae.
They were very, very popular when I was like a freshman in college and smoking lots of weed.
Every now and again, an episode will find its way to me through the form of a group chat, which consists of three guys who are mostly interested in video games and one guy who is super pilled.
Specifically, Alien Christian pilled.
Kinda.
That's entertainment.
Be cool if it was real.
Here are a couple of links.
You know, just one of those guys.
That's always how it starts.
He's not like, he's not like, this is definitely.
He never pushes it on you.
He's never like, this is real.
And like, you guys got to get on board.
He's always like, what do you think about this?
I saw this.
Kind of interesting.
He's like a guy who's like another pandemic away from being properly killed.
Like some people, it only took one pandemic.
For others, it's like, it takes two.
Yeah, yeah, or like one and a half.
Yeah.
Like another swine flu scare.
Maybe.
Yeah, exactly.
A scare.
A scare could do it.
So this week, he asked me if I had ever heard of Chris Bledsoe, a somewhat prominent figure in the UFO community who has videotaped thousands of flying orbs above his home in North Carolina.
The question was prompted by a recent Reddit post my friend had seen discussing a particularly clear and seemingly close-up view of one of Chris's orbs.
Now, I'll try to describe the video.
It's kind of this perfect circle.
It's pinkish on the interior and it's got this translucent quality to it.
And the insides are kind of in motion.
You know, it really does sort of resemble a molecular cell.
And one Redditor made an interesting comment that the video looks like a cross-section of a living being, as if one slice of it can be witnessed within the third dimension, following the logic of Carl Sagan's Flatlander analogy.
Do you guys know that by any chance?
Of course, of course.
It's like, of course, you know, a two-dimensional being to us would only see a small slice of us.
And so it's like, well, imagine four dimensions.
Exactly.
Travis, are you familiar with this?
I am not.
Oh, this is like, I watched a video on YouTube that did a, it's kind of like a schoolhouse rock style animation of an ant traveling across a playing card.
And basically, the idea is like the ant only knows in front of it to the it only lives in two dimensions on this two-dimensional plane that it travels on.
And if a human being were to stick its finger, you know, in front of the ant on the piece of paper, the ant would see this giant fleshy, you know, pink skyscraper essentially that would appear in front of it and it would either try to maybe crawl up it or it would go around it.
But the idea is that the ant cannot comprehend the intelligence that is attached to this pink, fleshy sort of skyscraper that has landed in front of it.
And the same would be us with beings that lived in the fourth dimension or the fifth dimension.
Though isn't that like the existing in multiple dimensions is like or extra dimension, spatial dimensions is like a string theory thing.
Very much so.
Which I think is like kind of not in the kind of discredited physics movement now.
It's it's very pop physics, I think.
I'm not a physicist, so I don't know, but it's meaningful though.
Very pop physics, and it also allows for a lot of great exposition in science fiction movies.
Like whenever you run into a problem, you're like, well, I mean, if string theory's real, then technically what you could do, you know, it's a real, it's a real good pseudoscience.
I don't know, I wouldn't call it pseudoscience.
There are a lot of very credited people that have devoted their lives to sort of finding more proof.
There's Brian Green, I think, wrote the initial string theory book, and then Michu Kaku.
I mean, there's been a lot of like really smart.
Neil deGrasse Tyson talks a lot about it.
My understanding talking from a physics grad student that I dated for a short amount of time when I was in grad school is that like there are no string theory guys in most physics departments anymore.
It's kind of, it used to be a fad.
Oh, and they haven't proved it at all.
And it's like, trust me, bro, you know.
It's grown out of favor.
Interesting.
That makes sense.
Not to rain on this poor UFO guy's parade.
Believe me, he does plenty of that on his own.
The aliens do plenty of that for him.
There is like something so American about UFO sightings.
I saw a map, I don't know if it's real, of like, you know, average amount of UFO sightings across the world, and it's all like Europe and North America.
Because it's just like looking up into the sky and seeing something you don't understand and being like, no, I know what it is.
That's yeah, definitely.
I have like, I'm confident this is aliens.
Well, and as you'll see, this is even better because the guy believes that he can summon them.
That is, we're reaching peak American, I think.
Yeah, that these orbs are actually part of an intention and that anybody, you know, who can sort of, you know, tune themselves into the right frequency can also, you know, bring crafts.
Well, they're not actually crafts, as we'll find out, but bring quote unquote crafts, you know, above their own homestead.
You can create your own Skinwalker ranch at home, folks.
Can you imagine being like, oh, be like, oh, mom, be like, there's a brand new, brand new glowing orb target toy section.
I really want to get it.
She's like, no, no, we've got.
We've got orbs at home.
Yeah, we've got glowing orbs at home, honey.
So this Reddit post was initially published on the sub-interdimensional NHI or non-human intelligence.
And this is a community of folks who are interested in the idea that there are a separate kind of extraterrestrials who do not come from another planet, but instead another dimension.
Think Krang from Ninja Turtles and the Neutrinos.
They live in a completely different dimension than the sewer systems of New York.
Now, one of the comments in the subreddit caught my attention.
One user had written, quote, a biblically accurate angel.
Aha.
Now I saw why my friend was seeking validation on this theory.
Potentially he, and as I would discover, certainly the man who filmed the video believed that aliens might in fact be angels, that they've been well documented in the Bible, and that the shift, quote unquote, is coming soon.
Alien style.
Chris Bledsoe has been in the game for quite some time.
In fact, the 64-year-old former builder and construction professional was featured on an early and quickly canceled Discovery Channel show about alien encounters.
Where did they find the guys for these like Discover Your History channel shows?
Did they just like go on?
Like, let's see who's yelling strange things on the street today outside a recording office.
No, they actually found Liv.
I can tell you, I read this.
I read this guy's book.
We're going to get into the whole thing, but I actually know how they found him.
He basically contacted Mufon, and he was, this was after his first encounter, which we'll get into, but he was really hesitant.
You know, he was worried that he was going to be labeled kind of a crazy person.
And he was very protective of his family and his own sort of reputation in the town, which he had built with his father over decades-long successful construction business that unfortunately, you know, kind of went away during the recession in 2008.
And so, but, anyways, he went to MUFON.
And at the time, MUFON was working with the Discovery Channel as like producers.
Like they were kind of partnering on this UFO series together, and they were really interested in Chris's story because he was a family man.
He was well respected about the town.
He didn't have a history of making any sort of like wild claims.
So, Mufon like really was interested in kind of putting Chris and his family forward, you know, as the face of people who were speaking out about their UFO encounters.
And it turns out horribly, of course.
