[00:00:42] Another Brother Theme Song

[00:01:01] Stewnerds Segment

Josh: Oh shoot.

Alex: Yeah.

Josh: Whoop whoop.

Alex: Announcement!

Josh: Announcement! Another brother announcement! You’re already a- you’re already a brother, so dress like one. Beginning today, through…

Alex: The-

Josh: …through June 27th! my throat hurts. From now, through June 27th, we have a special 20% discount on all Another Brother merch!

Alex: 15 percent.

Josh: 15 percent! It’s basically pro-bono!

Alex: Yeah, 15 percent discount.

Jacob: Where do they find it?

Josh: Get your merch at our website, which is AnotherBrotherPodcast.com

Alex: It’s really cool, guys. I designed it myself.

Josh: I hope Alex-

Jacob: You’re gonna love it!

Josh: -has great editing skills.

Jacob: We’ll be buying some discounted merch ourselves.

Alex: Oh, yeah! Because the discount isn’t on us. The discount is on the people running the store for us.

Josh: And this is a great way to support your favorite brother because if you didn’t know, we’re color coded because of our mom.

Alex: And that’s what we’re talking about this week!

Josh: Yay. Segue into another segue.

Alex: Like, we’re smart or something.

Jacob: So you guys know I’m training for a Spartan race.

Alex: Oh, you are?

Josh: Oh, Josh new I’m training for a Spartan race.

Alex: The 2 guys that work out talk about things like this.

Josh: If you haven’t noticed, we don’t talk about sports on this podcast.

Jacob: So I’m doing the big one. It’s the Beast. For the past 4 or 5 weeks, I’ve been taking one morning before work and heading up to the trails. So I can get an hour run-in on the trails. I just pick the steepest trail, it goes straight up the mountain. It’s like it’s 3 miles, but like, it’s a huge butt kicker. So I did that yesterday morning. On the way down, I heard some ruffling off in the the brush next to me. Again, so, like, this is as I’m running down the mountain-

Josh: What does that sound like? Is it, like, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle.

Jacob: That’s how I typically hear it. Yeah.

Alex: Okay.

Jacob: But, you know, it was big enough that I knew it wasn’t a bird. That’s what you usually hear in the shrubberies. It’s birds.

Jacob: So as I’m running down, I take a look back, and I see pointed right at me a black tail with a white stripe. Pointed straight at me.

Alex: Uh-Oh.

Jacob: Yeah. So I booked it. Like, it didn’t spray me, fortunately, but like, that was kind of terrifying.

Josh: Stinky.

Jacob: That’s my first ever encounter with a skunk. So where do you think a potentially good Habitat would be for skunks? Would you think Scotland?

Josh: No…

Alex: Maybe…

Josh: Georgia? The state

Alex: Is it?

Jacob: Because I thought Scotland would be… cool temperate temperatures, got lots of shrub and covering… It’s not. They’re not native there. But we like Scotland.

Alex: That was how it leads you into…

Josh: Dude… Are you kidding, me?

Alex: Don’t worry, it totally goes into it.

Josh: Alright. So Jacob told us he’s got a great segue. He wanted to tell this story and it’s a great segue into our Scottish theme.

Alex: He just wanted to show of that he’s training for a spartan race.

Jacob: No it was the skunk. Dude, that was scary.

Josh: To make it worse, anyone who’s familiar with terrain in Northern Utah knows that there’s a peak nearby called Ben Lomond Peak, which is named after the Ben Lomond in Scotland. Oh my goodness.

Jacob: See, it does tie-in. I told you.

Alex: Yeah. Alright. You just had to have some help.

Jacob: So we’re Stewarts. As you know, Stewart is a common Scottish name. Turns out, our heritage is actually from Scotland. Which is pretty cool. We’ve done the family history work. I mean, it goes back, man, generations. So the first ancestor that came across was actually during the Revolutionary War, James Stewart, I’ve got records of him. His dad’s name is James Stewart. Anyway, some cool stories there. We kind of I feel like growing up, we just kind of went with faith that we were Scottish. Like, we kinda we always, I don’t know, gravitated to it and held on to it.

Alex: I could feel it.

Josh: Well, the strange thing-

Jacob: Even Grandpa Stewart thought we were- He was Irish.

Josh: Yeah. So Grandpa’s so our Grandpa Stewart’s father had always told him that he was Irish. And in fact, to the point where dad I don’t know if he got the book from grandpa or where, but we had a a little, like, worn book, hard hardbound book in the house that was the Irish coat of arm a a book of Irish coat of arms. And there was a Stewart Crest in there and coat of arms in there.

Jacob: I loved that book. Like, I would flip through the pages all the time.

Alex: I don’t know this book.

Jacob: Mom Dad still have it. It’s yeah. It’s downstairs. You gotta look at it. I have a lot of memories of just really just looking at all the different coat of arms in it.

Josh: Well, and it’s that coat of arms that, you know, we always reproduce the yellow-

Jacob: with the stripe of white

Josh: and blue checkers.

Alex: Oh, that’s actually Irish?

Josh: Yeah.

Alex: Oh. Shnikeys.

Josh: Yeah. So like dad grew up hearing from grandpa that we were Irish. But for whatever reason, even prior to like fleshing out the genealogy, we always just kind of preferred Scottish… I don’t know. But it ended up-

Jacob: Yeah. I don’t know either.

Josh: it ended up being the accurate genealogy.

Jacob: I don’t know really what- we just felt it in our bones.

Josh: Well Yeah. And you hear the bags playing?

Jacob: It’s like calling you home.

Josh: Why is that? That’s so strange. And I know a lot of people have a have a similar feeling. But it’s like, it’s almost otherworldly.

Alex: Okay. Okay. Christianity alert here.

Josh: Christianity alert! Christianity alert!

Jacob: I thought this was gonna come up.

Josh: What?

Alex: This is something this is a doctrine that I don’t know about in other Christian faiths But in our church, there’s a I don’t wanna say phenomenon, but that’s a good enough word, I suppose.

Josh: Influence.

Alex: Yeah. Influence, it’s known as the spirit of Elijah.

Jacob: And so this does come from the Old Testament.

Alex: Yeah. Yeah. It’s mentioned in Malachi.

Jacob: Yes.

Alex: I believe.

Jacob: I think so.

Alex: Yeah. That the hearts of the children will turn to the fathers, and the hearts of the fathers will turn to the children. It’s basically talking about how your genealogy is gonna call to you. And I mean, in our in our church, we we believe that people that didn’t have an opportunity to be baptized while they were alive by the proper authority will have the opportunity to accept a baptism done for them by one of us. That’s alive today, that is baptized on their behalf. That’s one of the things that takes place in the temples that a lot of people find really confusing and mysterious about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Yeah. It’s one of the things that we do in there.

Josh: Well, that creates the imperative for us to seek out our fathers, mothers, our predecessors. So we know who they are.

Alex: Find their names, do their genealogy so that you can then be baptized for them.

Jacob: So, Yeah, In general, we we believe that there’s that inside of us that calls us to look for that lineage and that heritage and I mean, it’s it really is a global phenomenon, something every- not everyone. A lot of people experience it. It’s not just people who are members of our church. I mean, obviously, look at, like, almost any Asian culture. They keep records for hundreds, thousands of years of their family lineage, and they still go and they sweep their graves. So it’s practiced in a different manner, but that’s that’s the same thing.

Alex: Like, I’ve always felt it. Which is extra interesting in our circumstance because we’re not blood Stewarts.

Jacob: What?

Josh: Edit that. Cut that.

Jacob: They don’t need to know that.

Josh: They don’t need to know that. that throws off our entire- grumble grumble

Alex: Yeah. Grandpa Stewart was not our father’s father.

Jacob: He’s our adopted grandfather. Yeah.

Alex: But I’ve always felt like the Scottish Stewarts have adopted us along with Grandpa Stewart, and those are the people calling for us to look for them and do their work and we’re Scottish. We’re adopted Scottish. That’s what I feel anyway.

Josh: Okay, So now that we know that we’re just kinda Scottish though, but like but

Jacob: but also extremely American-

Josh: But how Scottish are we?

Jacob: Exactly.

Alex: Well, I mean-

Josh: How Scottish-American are we?

Alex: So every year for I don’t even know how many years now, like, I don’t know, 8 years probably. I’ve driven all the way down to Payson, Utah. You guys have joined me on many occasion, to go to the Payson Scottish Festival and Highland Games, which is so good.

Jacob: So good.

Josh: It’s a blast.

Jacob: It is so much fun.

Josh: Man, those people have become celebrities for us. The athletes-

Jacob: We nicknamed some of them, yeah. Some of the athletes we gave them their own nicknames.

Alex: Yeah. I what I’ve heard always heard is that Payson, Utah was originally settled by Scottish people who came to Utah to be part of the Church of Jesus Christ. So this festival has been a long tradition, a community event in Payson, that I think is what makes it so special.

Josh: I want to I wanna contact the organizers of the Payson event and try to get money raised to get Scocha out there. Because they-

Alex: Oh, that’d be amazing.

Josh: they do performances outside of-

Alex: That would be crazy.

Jacob: They travel for it.

Alex: That would be so rad.

Josh: Because they are so I mean, it’s good.

Jacob: I wonder if they’ve reached out to American games and and things like this to try to like, on their own if they’ve if they’ve tried coming over.

Josh: Oh yeah, I don’t know. But if they haven’t, I’m going to try.

Jacob: There’d be so many that they could hit in a row. I’m sure.

Josh: Yeah. Those events are so fun. And they’ll they’ll do, like, the dancing competitions. The pipe band competition.

Jacob: Their vendors, they sell Scottish food.

Josh: And there’s there’s clan representation there too, so you have- you have clan tents.

Alex: That are, again, aimed at mostly helping people do their genealogy.

Jacob: It’s just a blast. If if you haven’t been to a a Scottish highland game, just do it. Go.

Alex: I mean, if you’ve never seen a live caber toss, the stereotypical event, It’s amazing.

Josh: And if after observing it, you you think to yourself, well, that looks quite fun. Then I challenge you to do what we do now, just hold your own backyard Highland Games. We try to do it twice about twice a year-

Alex: We do try.

Josh: -as a larger Stewart clan in Utah, our clan. And we try to hold our own little Scotch Highland game in someone’s backyard, and we’ll do a weight over bar. We’ll do weight for distance. We’ll do a diminuitive caber toss.

Jacob: Yeah. It’s it’s pretty small.

Alex: I pulled a shoulder. No. Dislocated. I dislocated the shoulder.

Jacob: And I think we have decided to stop doing the hammer throw.

Josh: Yeah. The the neighbors’ the neighbors’ fence is just too close.

Jacob: We were literally just throwing a sledge hammer in Josh’s backyard.

Alex: It was so fun!

Jacob: Spinning like maniacs!

Josh: Yeah. Everyone would get up on the deck and just kinda, like, get ready to put their hands in front of their face. Yeah. And that’s that’s been- I feel more connected. Okay. So we all have our own kilts. That should go without saying at this point.

Jacob: And we clearly perform in those kilts.

Josh: Yes. So there’s just nothing that feels more connected to this awesome history regardless of how contemporary the history is or how far back the history goes or how by adoption into the Scottish culture we are, there’s something about putting that kilt on, putting pipe and drum music on the speakers, and throwing-

Alex: A heavy thing.

Josh: -a heavy thing, that just gets you it it feels great.

Alex: It does.

Jacob: It’s weird to say-

Josh: It’s like holistic health.

Jacob: Yeah.

Alex: Yeah. So part of being in a Scottish clan is having a tartan, a tartan that goes along with your clan. A tartan is it’s not just a fancy word for a plaid, but without getting into the technicalities of how it’s designed and manufactured in cloth. It it’s a plaid. And the Royal Stewart tartan, so the the main tartan of our family, consists first and foremost of red, then the next most color is green, then blue, yellow, and white and black. Growing up, our mom stitched a little bit of colored thread into the toes of our socks so that we could differentiate whose socks were whose.

Jacob: And then she even bought little baskets to carry that clean laundry in back to our rooms that were color coded to the same stitch in our socks.

Alex: That started before we were really getting into being Scottish. It turned out that the 3 colors we were given were all colors in the tartan. And so-

Jacob: It was just perfect.

Josh: And and Liz?

Alex: Yeah. And Liz. I think Liz’s was an adopted color because everybody knew what socks are-

Josh: The girl’s socks are girls socks.

Jacob: And much smaller.

Alex: But, yes, I got green. Josh got red. Jacob got blue. And Liz gets to be yellow now. So when we talk about each other, sometimes we talk about the Blue Stewarts-

Josh: Well, and rather than talking about, like, “Jacob’s family and their kids”-

Jacob: Right. When we’re talking about the small families within our family.

Josh: Yeah. We’ll just be like, “hey, they’re at the Blue Stewarts’.” “They’re at the Green Stewarts’.”

Jacob: It just works. And, again, it’s the same main colors on our tart.

Alex: Yeah. It feels neat.

Josh: Neato gang.

Alex: But, I mean, I’ve personally really leaned into green as like a favorite color. And I don’t know if I was gonna get there anyway. I don’t know if this has influenced that at all, but green is my favorite color.

Jacob: Wow. See, mine is red.

Josh: Mine is blue, funnily enough.

Jacob: So Josh and I are switched. I’m Jacob. I’m the Blue Stewart. But my favorite color’s red.

Josh: I’m Josh. I’m the Red Stewart, but my favorite color’s blue.

Jacob: That is funny. One other tie in again to the whole color and Scottish theme, in a full Scottish kit. Right? You’ve got your long hose, which are just socks.

Alex: You know, the the braided knitted socks that you see that are really tall.

Jacob: Did they they get folded down, But under that fold, you have these flash Yeah. They’re called flashes. I don’t know how to they’re like little ribbons that hang out. So we each have our own color. Right? So I have blue flashes. Alex has red Excuse me. Alex has green, Josh has red. And then there’s also Oh, what’s the little knife?

Josh: Dirk. No.

Jacob: No. Was that the Sgian dubhs?

Josh: Sgian dubhs.

Jacob: Sgian dubhs that You slide into one of your hoes, and ours each have a little jewel on top. And, again, our colors are coordinated to those jewels too. I think we might even have socks Alex has green socks.

Alex: I have bottle green socks and a bottle green hat.

Josh: Oh, yeah.

Alex: My beret-like-

Josh: I could wear my Airborne beret.

Jacob: Oh, yeah.

Alex: That’s right. It’s a maroon. Right?

Josh: It is maroon.

Jacob: That would be cool.

Josh: But I want a cab driver hat.

Jacob: A cab driver hat?

Josh: You know, like-

Alex: Oh, country cap.

Josh: Country cap. Yeah.

Josh: Or a Payne Stewart golf cap.

Alex: I do look at those every time my go to Payson.

Jacob: They just look funny on me.

Alex: I don’t think I like the way they look on me either.

Josh: Yeah. And I guess that’s all the probably the color coding in our kits.

Jacob: Sometimes shirts.

Josh: But then you have different tartans too. So the Stewart Clan especially has almost a different official tartan for each different function. So we-

Alex: You wanna go hunting? There’s a hunting tartan.

Josh: Yeah. There’s hunting tartan. In fact, my my athletic kilt that I wear is the Stewart Black tartan. But it’s still a official Stewart clan tartan.

Alex: Yeah. I’ve got a regular kilt in dress black. But there’s white dress. There’s blue dress. There’s black dress. There’s racing. We have a racing tartan. If you didn’t know, it’s pretty exciting.

Josh: Jacob, What are you doing?

Jacob: That’s what I need to be running in.

Alex: It’s it’s predominantly blue too.

Josh: Even though that’d be funny.

Jacob: Well, you can just socks in it. That’d be cool.

Josh: When Alex and Lara got married, it was a Scottish regalia. Yeah.

Alex: We did a tartan wedding.

Josh: And it looked good.

Jacob: It looked good.

Josh: All the kids in their kilts and everything.

Alex: Yeah.

Jacob: Cute.

Alex: Yeah. Her family dressed up in kilts and everything too. They were game. It was fun.

Jacob: So, yeah, like, we when we go to, like, the games not our own backyard games, but when we go to a a Scottish festival, like, you better believe we’re we’re there in our kilts. You know, with our hoes and our-

Josh: Bros. We got our bros in our hoes, and we just uh-

Jacob: Dangit.

Alex: But if for some reason you ever have a favorite one of us, if you’re able to tell the difference between us and get a favorite one-

Jacob: Me! Me! Team Blue!

Alex: We’ve got our merch available in well, unfortunately, this this service that we’re using didn’t have every item in every color of the 3 of us. But wherever possible, you can get it in black, white, green, red, or blue.

Josh: Boom. Yeah. So I’m about to add a lot more red to my wardrobe, I guess. You know why, I’m not red though? It’s because of BYU. And dad’s-

Jacob: I know.

Josh: -utter hatred of the University of Utah.

Jacob: Okay. But, you know, dad’s-

Josh: Red is basically a swear color.

Jacob: Red is his favorite color too, though.

Josh: I know. Yeah. It’s it’s weird.

Jacob: I’ve I’ve fought that myself, but I can’t deny it. Just red’s my favorite color. Blue is number 2, but red is it’s speed.

Alex: Ohhhh, The Flash.

Josh: The Flash. That’s it.

Jacob: It’s not. it’s red looks fast. It’s not just The Flash.

Alex: It’s true. It’s also Ferrari.

Jacob: And it’s a it’s a power color. You better believe like, I put my red tie on when I’ve got, like, an interview or something. Yeah.

Josh: Yeah. Or when you’re teaching missionaries? You didn’t do the red power tie on the mission? Especially in Russia.

Jacob: Oh, when I’m like instructing stuff? Yeah.

Alex: Like, zone conference trainings.

Jacob: Yeah. Yeah. But again, let me clarify, buy blue.

Josh: Don’t do that. Red’s great. Actually, you know what? Let’s just move merch. You buy what you wanna buy.

Alex: Buy all 3.

Josh: Support Lizzie. Get the yellow.

[00:20:09] Totally Solved Mystery Segment



Soundbyte: Are you curious about the world around you? Do you question why mysterious things happen? Join us, and perhaps you’ll be surprised by this “Totally solved mystery”.

Josh: Once upon a wartime dreary, when skies were bathed in sorrow weary, Over fields of blood and fear, I saw a sight that chilled my core. Whispers ‘midst the pilot’s chatter spoke of specters, their heart aflutter, Ghastly fiends with radiant light, known as foo fighters, the lore did bore. Those who witnessed felt the terror, in the skies forevermore. In the depths of World War’s plight, where men sought solace through the night, There existed a squadron bold, the 415th Night Fighter Corps. Their valiant souls with spirits high, took flight beneath the somber sky, Unaware of what would soon unfold, their fates to be forevermore. Foo fighters, lurking, lurking there, to plague their minds forevermore. As night fell, a shroud of gloom, darkness thick as a wretched tomb, The Black Widows took to air, with men of courage at their core. But lo! From the abyss there came, ethereal lights that danced in flame, Foo fighters, wraiths from realms unknown, unleashed their eerie encore. Glowing orbs with spectral grace, tormented souls forevermore. In the heavens they did abound, bewildering all who dared surround, Aviators locked in gaze, as orbs mimicked their swift rapport. They mocked their moves with eerie might, their presence caused a dreadful fright, Malevolence in their glow, a haunting sight forevermore. Those who faced them felt the dread, their minds enthralled forevermore. Futile was the squadron’s fight, for bullets passed through orbs of light, Foo fighters, untouched, undaunted, defied the laws of our mortal lore. Their nature enigmatic, arcane, their purpose one they did retain, To vex and haunt brave men aloft, a mystery forevermore. Aerial foes, not of this realm, forever enigmatic, forevermore. Returned from missions fraught with woe, the squadron’s pilots were changed, you know, Their minds plagued by nightly terrors, haunted by the orbs they saw. Conspiracy whispered in hushed tones, of otherworldly origins unknown, Foo fighters, harbingers of doom, their presence felt forevermore. In dreams they lingered, ominous, a mark imprinted forevermore. Oh, my pen could scarce convey, the chilling tale of that wartime day, When foo fighters plagued the sky, their spectral glow forevermore. In the annals of history’s tome, the 415th Squadron’s doom, Shall be remembered as a haunting chapter, a tale to chill forevermore. Foo fighters and their eerie plight, a spectral dance forevermore.

Alex: Okay. I love the band. The Foo Fighters. Love that band. And I’ve known for a long time that their name comes from World War 2. But that is all I know about it. No one has ever said anything more about it in what I’ve read.

Jacob: No. That that’s all I know too.

Josh: Foo fighters were unidentified flying objects in World War 2 that harassed the 415th Night Fighter Squadron, as they flew night operations over Germany German skies.

Jacob: So So this is our squadron?

Josh: This is a joint-

Jacob: This is a US-

Josh: This is a joint US-UK squadron. Yeah. Back in the days of World War 2, the 415th Night Squadron, they flew night raids, obviously. And their intent was to harass and bomb and provide cover for bombing runs. And pretty early on, a cockpit crew had identified orbs flying off in the distance, or actually static in the distance, and-

Alex: Static?

Josh: Static in the distance.

Alex: Of what kind?

Josh: No no no. Stationary.

Alex: Oh, okay. The I got it. Got it. Got it. They weren’t flying in the distance. They were static.

Josh: Static. And with no radar returns, no no radar signatures, just a orange-ish reddish glow, and then these orbs would then accelerate and leave. And after this first encounter, there were more that were recorded. Where these orbs anywhere from 1 to 10 in in, like, a-

Alex: Formation?

Josh: Formation. Yeah. Anywhere from a single orb to 10 in formation would appear, and they would follow the fighters of the 415th Night Fighter squadron, and they would mimic their movements, and they would accelerate past them and they exhibited movement and ability to maneuver in excess of that of the fighters. And these men gave interviews long after just of absolute bewilderment, but all the interviews they gave for newspapers, for radio shows, and then ultimately later for video, they were very professional about it. They were very fact-of-the-matter, you know. As most World War 2 vets are of their experience no matter where or how they served. They just acknowledged these flying orbs. And to the point where they would contact- and radar at the time was pretty still kind of a primitive technology.

Alex: Yeah.

Josh: But even in contact with ground control stations and radar operators and onboard radar, they couldn’t there was no radar return of what these things were. But we seem to have finally solved what these were.

Jacob: What.

Alex: I hope the Foo Fighters are listening.

Jacob: This is for you, Dave Grohl.

Alex: Yeah. Dave.

Josh: So…

Jacob: were they able to get any more visual than it just being a a glowing orbit or is that literally all that they could see. I I imagine it’s middle of the night. Bright shiny object, all they’re gonna see is the light. They’re not gonna see any kind of…

Josh: Like control surfaces or wings or anything.

Alex: Well, if their bullets went right through it. Maybe that’s all it was.

Josh: Well, that was for that was for effect. I don’t I don’t think these guys actually shot at anybody. Yeah. No. So just just light. Just like orbs of light. And some people have have thought that perhaps it was like cockpit glint, like glare off of cockpits, but are you telling me these guys who are in a they’re a well-honed machine now and they know where their position is within the greater formation-

Alex: An entire squadron of these guys.

Josh: Yeah. They’re not gonna know that there should be other planes over there. And not to mention the way they they flew and was unlike the way our pilots flew. Other people have thought maybe it was, like, electric, what do you call it?

Alex: Like ball lightning?

Josh: Ball lightning.

Jacob: Oh, yeah.

Josh: The Electric- statics- you know, discharge.

Alex: But a red-orange? That’s not the right color.

Jacob: And this is clearly being controlled in an in an intelligent manner, not just-

Josh: Right.

Jacob: Following and harassing them.

Josh: So believe me, if you will, there has been reporting thanks in large part to an Italian author.

Alex: Woot.

Josh: Yeah. Mamed Renato. Is that an Italian name?

Alex: Yeah.

Josh: Yeah. Renato something. You can look it up. That’s what we do here in-

Jacob: That’s his last name, “Something”.

Alex: Wow. That’s that’s not gonna be hard to look up at all.

Josh: No.

Alex: There’s not a million of those guys.

Josh: That’s right. And and this is the level of reporting you can come to expect from Totally Solved Mysteries. Yeah. He uncovered Nazi UFO construction projects. And apparently, there’s, like, a number of these UFO attempts to include different models called, like, the Vril v-r-i-l, vril saucers, and Haunabu saucers. And to the point where there’s multiple corroborated sources who recorded German engineers discussing the Nazi Germany flying saucer engineering projects.

Alex: Yeah.

Jacob: Yeah. I’ve I’ve heard that that was something that they had been working on and were trying to develop.

Josh: Yes. So so the first actual reference to Nazi UFOs was written down by an Italian turbine engineer named Giuseppe Beluso, and he records speaking with some German engineers who were also creating turbine, so they would make they allegedly created a flying disc that was just a turbine, like a large surface planar turbine that would give it vertical lift. 15 meters in diameter, and that was-

Alex: Holy crap!

Jacob: Wow!

Josh: Yes. And and this German engineer gave an interview to Der Spiegel in Germany, the newspaper. Talking about it, and look, you can kinda see, here’s the this was a contemporary Italian newspaper article. You can see the guy kinda wrote out a schematic of- I don’t know Italian, Alex. You might have to-

Alex: We’ll see how technical the language is.

Josh: But yeah. So there’s accounts that these things were that Germany Nazi Germany was actively trying to create UFOs.

Jacob: UFOs

Alex: Oh.

Jacob: Flying saucers.

Josh: Flying saucers.

Alex: Oh, This says that it was also worked on by Italians in Italy.

Jacob: Oh, Mussolini.

Alex: Not just the Germans.

Jacob: That’s right they were part of the of the axis.

Josh: Yeah. It makes sense because there’s like multiple Italians that are cited as also citing their German counterparts.

Jacob: Ah yeah that does make a lot of sense.

Josh: Yeah. And again, I mean-

Alex: Flying discs.

Jacob: With it being nighttime, if if they have a single bright light source on one of those things. That’s all you’re gonna see. Probably. Oh, I don’t know.

Josh: I don’t know either, but but to add some add some weight to this, Totally Solved Theory…

Alex: Totally.

Josh: Apparently, there’s declassified reports in the CIA archive that you can find online that discusses these nazi flying saucer discs and stating that these that the Nazi flying saucers could reach an altitude of 12,400 meters. Within 3 minutes.

Alex and Jacob: What?

Josh: And a speed of 2200 kilometers per hour. This is according to a German-

Jacob: Hold- 12,000 meters. That’s over-

Alex: Basically 12,000 yards. It’s 36,000-

Jacob: It’s over 36,000 feet.

Alex: 40,000 feet.

Josh: That’s like an airliner. A low-altitude airliner.

Jacob: In 3 minutes, it’s just *pew*

Josh: And okay. And then the speed of 2200 kilometers per hour, and then this German named Georg Klein. He says that the Germans’ plans were to get these speeds up to 4,000 kilometers per hour.

Jacob: What?

Josh: Yeah.

Alex: So that sounds like it’s a speed of about 222 miles per hour straight up.

Jacob: Okay. To ascend that quickly?

Alex: Yeah. It would be a constant speed of 222 miles per hour straight up.

Josh: Wow.

Alex: To get to 40,000 feet in 3 minutes.

Josh: Wow. Which is in excess of 2200 kilometers per hour.

Alex: Oh, yeah.

Jacob: Yeah. Definitely.

Alex: Wait, 2200 kilometers per hour?

Josh: Yeah.

Jacob: Wait. 2- 220 or 2200?

Josh: 2200 kilometers per hour.

Jacob: Oh, that’s fast!

Alex: So they say their top speed is in excess-

Josh: Was 2200 with plans to reach 4000 kilometers per month.

Jacob: I thought you said top speed was 220. 2200 is-

Josh: And what kind of G Force would that exhibit? But if you consider the accounts of the the men reporting the foo fighters, of, you know, a light source just hovering and then

Jacob: Zipping off.

Josh: Zipping off.

Alex: I’m sorry. I can’t believe that.

Jacob: Yeah. Right. How how fast is that? A thousand- 1300-

Alex: It’s Mach 1.3 or 1.4. You’re breaking the speed, the sound barrier.

Josh: With just a typical turbine engine.

Alex: I’m sorry. Let me let me say that again. It’s almost Mach 2.

Josh: Get out. Well, that’s incredible, guys. I’m so glad we…

Alex: I can’t believe you’ve cracked the story, Josh!

Josh: I know! I mean, if you look up foo fighters, people are like scratching their head.

Alex: Dave Grohl?

Josh: Fools. And I’ll just leave on this note.

Jacob: Oh, we’re leaving this already?

Alex: Hang on. Hold on. Okay hang on. Hold on.

Josh: I mean, this this Totally Solved Mystery cannot hold up to much scrutiny. But um-

Alex: But okay. I just I have a clarifying question. So as part of Operation Paperclip, I think?

Josh: Yeah. Yep.

Jacob: Is that a Microsoft project?

Alex: No. That was-

Josh: That’s Clippy.

Jacob: Sorry, terrible joke.

Alex: That’s when we brought Nazi scientists into America to help us after the war. A lot of those folks established NASA and really got us to the moon. I’ve seen footage of us-

Jacob: Yes.

Alex: -having flying saucer like craft from, I believe, these ex-Nazi scientists.

Jacob: And they weren’t great.

Alex: Are these different than that? Because these were never great.

Josh: Was it us or the Canadians?

Alex: Well, the shows I’ve always seen have always said it was us and not the Canadians.

Josh: Because interestingly, a number of these German rocket and aeronautic guys went to work for the Canadians. And there’s a Canadian company called, like, Acro Canada or something that allegedly was able to create ‘similar’ objects. But here’s the here’s the critical thing to remember when we’re considering, you know, okay, travel back with me in time to the end of World War 2. Soviets are already enemies. There are our frenemies throughout all of World War 2. Now they’re our enemies. They’re snatching up Nazi engineers and scientists.

Jacob: Left and right.

Josh: We’re snatching up through Paperclip, and we’re already planning, you know, we’ve got atomic energy and weapons now, they’re developing theirs, and we’re in this, like, race for technology at this point. And every single and this is my theory against why we haven’t revealed our alien technologies yet. I’ll solve that mystery for you guys tonight right now. But basically, there’s a national security imperative to keep the real capabilities and science behind these Nazi Germany UFOs secret because we don’t wanna play our hand. We don’t want the other guy to know how successful we are. We’re gonna throw up these flimsy, little, you know, things. But in reality, the Nazis are already, to quote, and this ties into my other my other thing, Hermann Oberth, the father of German rocketry, to- to quote, an English translation, he says, “it is my thesis that flying saucers are real and that they are spaceships from another solar system. I think that they possibly are manned by intelligent observers who are members of a race that may have been investigating our Earth for centuries.” Totally Solved Mystery.
