Fortean Winds

Send us Fan Mail In April 1989, five teenagers were accused of a brutal attack in New York's Central Park. The newspapers had a name for the supposed new phenomenon: wilding . The city had a new kind of danger to fear. Thirteen years later, DNA evidence and another man's confession overturned the convictions. The attack was real. The story built around it was wrong. In the first installm...

Send us Fan Mail Three cameras lose power at Skinwalker Ranch. A fourth reportedly records no visible perpetrator. Does the phenomenon react when we investigate it? In this solo Fortean Winds Field Notes episode, RamX follows that question through John Keel’s research, the 1976 Tehran UFO intercept, and Project Hessdalen’s reported laser-response trials. Then we get into the observer effect, quant...

Send us Fan Mail David Grusch is making claims that go considerably further than his original UAP testimony. In his latest appearance with Joe Rogan, the former intelligence officer and UAP whistleblower discusses alleged recovered craft, multiple forms of non-human intelligence, underwater facilities, consciousness-based technology—and a reported encounter involving a seven-foot reptilian being t...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Field Notes — shorter Fortean Winds investigations built around a single document, case, study or piece of research we think deserves attention. For the first Field Note, RamX returns to Project Condign , the massive classified UAP study conducted for the UK's Ministry of Defence using thousands of sighting reports collected over decades. The report contains an ext...

Send us Fan Mail Before recording this episode, RamX sat in on a briefing about a question the UAP community rarely asks: If disclosure happens, how should you actually tell people? The Sol Foundation's new disclosure study is using a nationally representative discrete-choice experiment to test how Americans respond to different messengers, evidence, verification methods and disclosure scenar...

Send us Fan Mail The first episode followed the wealth, ideology and theology of a new technological elite. The second followed their plans into the physical world—from network states and charter cities to governments willing to trade pieces of sovereignty for investment. Now Fortean Winds follows the money home. In the final chapter of the Cadre & Cathedral trilogy, RamX and Bones examine the...

Send us Fan Mail They aren't just talking about replacing institutions anymore. They're building alternatives. In part two of Fortean Winds' investigation into the Cadre and Cathedral, RamX and Bones follow the network-state movement from Silicon Valley theory into physical territory. The idea is called “cloud first, land later.” Build the ideology online. Assemble a wealthy and com...

Send us Fan Mail In Dark Territory , we asked what happens when the signals go out—when institutions lose credibility, certainty disappears, and the only thing left is the method. Now we follow the tracks. In this episode, RamX and Bones examine a specific faction of the ultra-wealthy technology class and ask a simple question: What do they actually want to build? Starting with the extraordinary c...

Send us Fan Mail What do you do when the signals disappear? Railroad crews call it dark territory —stretches of track with no signals, no dispatcher, and no easy answers. The train still moves. The rules simply change. In this episode of Fortean Winds, RamX and Bones explain why they aren't walking away from difficult investigations, even as many prominent voices publicly question their own j...

Send us Fan Mail What happens when artificial intelligence is used to study the phenomenon instead of simply talking about it? After months of requests from listeners, RamX sits down for an unscripted conversation about the AI research behind Fortean Winds. From the AI Grimoire Analysis and the Enochian Watcher Project to unexpected conversations, pattern recognition, consciousness, and the limits...

Send us Fan Mail What if UFO encounters, near-death experiences, mystical visions, shamanic journeys, and DMT experiences aren't separate phenomena at all? What if they're describing the same underlying architecture? In this episode of Fortean Winds, RamX presents the findings from an original comparative research paper examining thousands of encounter reports spanning centuries of human...

Send us Fan Mail On May 28th, the White House posted those four words alongside a mock UFO disclosure website complete with declassified-style headers, glowing green text, and a call to report suspicious "aliens." But the aliens weren't extraterrestrials. They were immigrants. In this episode of Fortean Winds, RamX and Bones examine a month of extraordinary developments spanning UFO...

Send us Fan Mail What if the modern UFO abduction phenomenon is only the latest version of something much older? In this episode of Fortean Winds, RamX and Bones trace a startling pattern across centuries of documented encounters involving missing time, unexplained disappearances, and the sudden removal of people from ordinary reality. The journey begins in 1759 rural Sweden, with the officially r...

Send us Fan Mail People go missing every day. Most are found. This episode isn’t about those cases. In this installment of Fortean Winds, RamX and Bones examine a category of disappearances that defy conventional explanation — cases where individuals vanish near witnesses, leave no physical trace, and remain unresolved despite extensive search efforts. At the center of this discussion is the case...

Send us Fan Mail Everyone covering the missing scientists story is drawing a circle around nine names and calling it a pattern. A circle isn't an argument. When you sort the cases by actual evidentiary standard — documented, traceable connection to a classified program, yes or no — what survives is narrower than what's being circulated. Two cases anchor it. One thread connects them that...

Send us Fan Mail There are two kinds of mysteries:  The ones where nothing is there…  and the ones where something is there—but we don’t understand it yet. The problem is, people treat those the same. In this episode of Fortean Winds, we examine two completely different domains—UAP disclosure and the Epstein records—and show how they reveal the same analytical failure: moving past the evidence too...

Send us Fan Mail Jeffrey Epstein didn’t become “untouchable” by accident. In Episode 51 of Fortean Winds , RamX and Bones examine how powerful figures can operate inside overlapping systems of protection — where intelligence adjacency, defense secrecy, institutional incentives, and narrative noise combine to shield accountability. Using Epstein as a case study, this episode explores how protection...

Send us Fan Mail What is a PSYOP — really? In this milestone Episode 50 of Fortean Winds, RamX and Bones break down official U.S. military doctrine on Psychological Operations (PSYOP), information warfare, and cognitive influence — then apply it to modern media, social networks, and even UFO disclosure. From Joint Chiefs doctrine (JP 3-13.2) to digital botnets, memetic warfare, and algorithmic amp...

Send us Fan Mail Jeffrey Epstein didn’t just vanish from public discourse. He was replaced.      In this episode, RamX and Bones examine the strange timing, narrative shifts, and information channels that emerged in the wake of Epstein’s exposure and death. Rather than focusing on individual guilt or speculation, RamX and Bones explore a deeper question: how was public attention redirected — and w...

Send us Fan Mail What if the UFO phenomenon wasn’t just physical — but metaphysical? In this deep follow-up to “Aliens, Demons & Final Events: Oh My!” the Fortean Winds team dives headfirst into the operational theology behind the UAP narrative. Drawing from the Collins Elite revelations, the rise of the New Apostolic Reformation, and Fortean Winds' own layered research into UAP behavior,...

Send us Fan Mail In this mind-bending kickoff to the new year, RamX and Bones dive deep into the shadowy intersections of UFO lore, fundamentalist theology, and government secrecy. Drawing on the controversial book Final Events by Nick Redfern, the episode explores the existence and motivations of the so-called "Collins Elite"—a covert group of U.S. government insiders who believe the ph...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Fortean Winds , we follow the money—and find the plan. RamX and Bones peel back the layers of Project 2025 to reveal not just an ideological movement, but a meticulously funded administrative coup. From the explosive growth in 501(c)(3) funding, to loyalty tests and think tank war chests five times their annual spend, the data tells a story that the headlines mi...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Fortean Winds , Bones and RamX take us into the heart of Middle Eastern lore to examine the jinn —not as Disney-fied genies or simple spirits, but as liminal, energetic intelligences that mirror the behavior of UAPs, fairies, and other global phenomena. What are we actually interacting with in these so-called "paranormal" experiences? Are we just apply...

Send us Fan Mail In this long-anticipated episode of Fortean Winds , Bones and RamX finally tackle Robert Kirk’s The Secret Commonwealth , drawing mind-bending connections between 17th-century fairy lore and 21st-century UAP encounters. But this isn't a quaint folklore episode—this is about continuity, not coincidence. Kirk's astonishing accounts of subterranean, liminal beings—seen only...
