Yeti To Rumble

In 1918 the USS Cyclops vanished with over 300 men aboard. In 1945, Flight 19's five planes disappeared on a routine training run. In 1948 and 1949, two nearly identical BSAA airliners vanished a year apart on the same route. This week, Mitch and Russell cover the real history of the Bermuda Triangle - Vincent Gaddis's 1964 article that named it, librarian Larry Kusche's research that debunked mos...

A monk supposedly talked a water beast out of attacking a second time, on this same stretch of Scottish water, almost 1,400 years before anyone called her Nessie. That's where the Loch Ness Monster legend actually starts, not 1933. Mitch and Russell spend this episode walking the timeline forward from there. A local story that turned into a worldwide sensation almost overnight. Faked photographs t...

WARNING: Episode describes topics that many not be suitable for children. A widow burns to ash in her armchair, leaving behind a skull shrunk to the size of a teacup and almost nothing else in the room is touched. An Irish coroner rules a man's 2010 death "spontaneous combustion" after twenty-five years on the job without seeing anything like it. This week, Mitch and Russell dig into the strange 3...

The US Department of War just released classified documents from 1948. Inside: a Top Secret cable from the European Command to the Director of Air Force Intelligence, describing three separate UAP incidents including a flying object that hovered over an American base in Germany for 30 minutes, a UAP that outran US bombers at 30,000 feet over Holland, and Swedish military divers finding an unexplai...

There is a book at Yale University that no one can read. Written between 1404 and 1438, on calf-skin vellum, in a script that appears in no other document on earth. It has 240 pages of plants that do not exist, astronomical diagrams that match no known system, and a section full of bathing figures that nobody has been able to explain. William Friedman, the greatest cryptanalyst of the 20th century...

Project STARGATE was real. For over two decades, the U.S. government trained military personnel to use their minds to spy on Soviet facilities, locate missing people, and gather intelligence no satellite or informant could reach. This week on Yeti to Rumble, we dig into the declassified documents, the cases that are hardest to explain away, and why the debate over what actually happened is still v...

January 1909: a week-long wave of sightings hit southern New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania. Police officers, postal workers, and entire trolley cars full of passengers all reported the same winged, hooved creature. Schools closed. The Philadelphia Zoo offered $10,000 for its capture. New episode of Yeti to Rumble is out now. We go deep on the Jersey Devil — from the 1735 birth curse to the...

The FBI kept a 1,700-page classified file on UFOs. America's leading meteor scientist examined what was flying over Los Alamos and Sandia Base and concluded — formally, in writing — that it was not natural in origin. Edward Teller, one of the men who built the hydrogen bomb, was in the room when the classified findings were discussed. We went through the actual FBI case file 62-83894 and the pictu...

In 1902, construction workers in Malta broke through a floor and found themselves staring into carved chambers filled with the bones of 7,000 people. The site they discovered had been sealed underground for 4,000 years. One of its chambers resonates at a frequency that shifts human brain activity toward altered states. This week on Yeti to Rumble, we are going into the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum Source...

Britain's most documented UFO case happened not in a field, but next to an active NATO air base — and it lasted three nights. In this week's episode, we go through the Rendlesham Forest Incident: Jim Penniston touching a craft in the trees, Lt. Col. Charles Halt's real-time audio recording, the memo that sat in files for three years, and the physical evidence that the UK government assessed withou...

Stonehenge — The Mystery That Won't Stay Buried. We know who didn't build it (not aliens, not Druids). We know the stones came from Wales and possibly Scotland. We know it took 1,500 years to build. What we still don't know is the most interesting part. This week on Yeti to Rumble, Mitch and Russell go deep on the ancient monument that keeps revealing new secrets — including discoveries from 2024...

We've covered some wild encounters on Yeti to Rumble, but the Flatwoods Monster case is something else. In 1952, seven witnesses in rural West Virginia came face-to-face with a towering creature — glowing eyes, spade-shaped head, a hissing sound — and ran for their lives. The Air Force investigated. The national press came running. And the witnesses never changed their story. Tonight we break down...

Bob Lazar described a craft with no seams, no welds, ceilings built for beings 4 feet tall, and a reactor powered by an element that didn't officially exist yet. He described spacetime distortion propulsion in 1989 — five years before physics published the math. This week on Yeti to Rumble we go deep into what Lazar saw inside S-4, the environmental cover-up that hurt real workers, and why the gov...

The Bible calls them Nephilim. The Greeks called them Gigantes. The Aztecs called them Quinametzin. Every ancient civilization has a name for the giants — and almost every one says they helped build the ancient world. In this week's episode, Mitch and Russell dig into the burned cave in Nevada, the bones that keep going missing, and the question every culture has asked but never answered. It's a b...

August 21, 1955. A farmhouse in rural Kentucky. 11 people. Four hours of gunfire. Creatures that floated when they were shot and came right back. The Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter is still one of the most baffling close encounter cases ever documented, and this week on Yeti to Rumble we go through the whole thing — the night, the investigation, and every theory that's been put forward to explain it...

November 1966. Two couples are chased through the West Virginia night by a humanoid creature doing 100 mph. Then over a hundred more witnesses come forward. Then the UFO sightings start. Then Men in Black show up to warn people into silence. And thirteen months later, a bridge collapses, 46 people die, and every single Mothman sighting stops. Cold. This week on Yeti to Rumble: the full deep-dive M...

February 1959. Nine experienced Soviet hikers enter the Ural Mountains. Their tent is found slashed open from the inside. The bodies are scattered across the snow — some barefoot, some with injuries a forensic doctor compared to a car crash, with no car. Some clothing is radioactive. And multiple independent witnesses reported glowing orange orbs in the sky above the mountain that night — testimon...

The Arctic was supposed to be warm. It wasn't. Twenty men paid for that mistake with their lives. In 1879, the USS Jeannette sailed north chasing one of the most seductive myths in scientific history — the Open Polar Sea, a supposedly warm, navigable ocean surrounding the North Pole. The theory had been on maps since 1531. The world's most respected geographers swore by it. A media mogul funded an...

What if everything you see, feel, and experience is generated by a computer? Mitch and Russell dig into simulation theory — tracing it from Plato's cave through Descartes' evil demon to Nick Bostrom's landmark 2003 paper and Elon Musk's one-in-a-billion odds. They cover the full case for and against, what quantum mechanics has to do with it, and what it would mean for God, free will, and conscious...

What do a medieval devil, two guys with a plank of wood, and a group of intoxicated wallabies all have in common? They're all part of the wild, centuries-spanning story of crop circles. In this episode, we trace the full history of one of pop culture's most enduring mysteries — from a 1678 English pamphlet blaming the Devil for flattened oat fields, to the two Southampton pranksters who accidental...
