Chock full of paranormal goodness and just in time for the arrival of the extensively awaited and highly debated ‘UFO files,’ the first ever long form solo show in MIK history is coming at you this evening, Nightowls, as we delve into part two of The Weird Report: State of the Strangeness ‘26! On this episode we will, of course, be taking a deep dive into the recent release of just over 160 documents, photos, and videos, from multiple government agencies, profiling just what the-powers-that-be may know (or not know) regarding unexplained arial phenomena. Before that, however, we’ll be taking a look at two recent UFO sightings that may not only tie in the Easter 2026 prophecy of Christopher Bledsoe, which we talked about at length on part one, but also with the ongoing disappearance and deaths of multiple scientists and whistleblowers around the US. We’ll hear Matt Gaetz talk about being briefed on a human/alien hybrid breeding program, as well as Ross Coulthard on being privy to a highly protected ‘portal’ in the middle of a national forest somewhere in America, before bringing it back to Kentucky to discuss the sighting of a ‘red minotaur’ by twin siblings in Louisville and an invisible Sasquatch along Green River! All this weirdness, and so much more, tonight on Midnight in Kentucky proudly presents: The Weird Report: State of the Strangeness ‘26, part two! ‘Midnight in Kentucky (ft. The Appalachian Numerologist),’ the MIK theme, and ‘Hey BBL Drizzy’ written and performed by B. Silas.Additional music provided by Truckstop Dave.Shownotes:-Chris Bledsoe- Shawn Ryan Show #165https://youtu.be/Em7P9g9zCYc?si=8UcBq7v2OgBx2hnU-Bledsoe Said So on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/@bledsoesaidsoprojects?si=Ktzqyx1evl4QnQmp-Kacey Musgraves UFO Video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb4RbE8ZDaE-UFO cluster spotted over mysterious base tied to missing Air Force Scientist https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/ufo-cluster-spotted-over-mysterious-base-tied-to-missing-air-force-scientist/ar-AA21bJSt-Sightings of Meteors Surge, and Scientists Aren’t Sure Whyhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/science/march-fireballs-meteors-astronomy.html-UFO files spanning decades are released by Defense Departmenthttps://www.npr.org/2026/05/08/g-s1-121186/ufo-files-released-defense-department-The War Department UFO Fileshttps://www.war.gov/ufo/-Official UFO Files Released | Breakdown and Reactions on Somewhere in the Skies with Ryan Spraugehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWMEJOvw8fw&amp;t=18s-Eric Weinstein on UFOs, Epstein, and Anti-Gravityhttps://youtu.be/Vi_tpfx3F8o?si=WwFYSDj1qyPQPUtq-UFO FILES SHOCKER: NASA Astronauts Saw ‘GHOSTLY ALIENS’ On Apollo 17 Moon Mission?

Nightowls of all times, places, spaces, and ages, the full moon has risen once again and you are listening to The Midnight in Kentucky Weird Report! On tonight’s special report, State of the Strangeness ‘26, you’ll hear our takes on some of the biggest stories on high strangeness of the year! On this edition, We delve into several developing stories centering around UFO disclosure, unexplained disappearances, and the true nature of ‘the phenomenon’. First, we’ll take a look at the ongoing profoundly strange experiences of Chris Bledsoe and the Bledsoe family, as well as Chris’ inexplicably accurate prophecy for Easter 2026, given to him by ‘The Lady’ all the way back in 2012. Then, we’ll be taking it back to one of the biggest stories of the past few years, The Epstein Files, and how Eric Weinstein believes we will see a major connection in the files, UFOs, and atomic weapons. From there, we venture into the muddy water of DC to discuss Trump’s vow to release ‘the alien files,’ JD Vance’s belief that the occupants of UFOs are demonic, and reports that the war in Iran is some kind of Armageddon ritual. Our friends, the mystery drones, return for a flyby visit, as personnel at Barksdale Air Force Base in Shreveport, Louisiana report mass incursions of unknown arial craft over the facility in early March. Finally, we’ll discuss the troubling disappearance of General Neil McCasland, as well as up to eight scientists, and science adjacent experts, with deep connections to anti-gravity and UFOs. Easter UFO prophecies, elite conspiracies, sacrificial wartime apocalypse rituals, mystery drones, and unexplained disappearances, all tonight, on MIK’s The Weird Report: State of the Strangeness ‘26! ‘Midnight in Kentucky (ft. The Appalachian Numerologist),’ the MIK theme, written and performed by B. Silas.

"Forty-nine years ago this morning there was ‘quite a bit of snow on the ground’ but the roads and skies were clear near Prospect, Kentucky, as Lee Parrish started home from his girlfriend Kathy Johnson’s house. A trip that usually took him no longer than a cigarette and couple songs on the radio of his 1970 Jeepster, would this time cost Lee forty-five terrifying minutes, and a detour into somewhere wholly beyond all of our known understanding. Though visitations from the otherworldly could be considered commonplace in the Commonwealth, the taking of Lee Parish in the early hours of January 27th, 1977, by a trio of sentient ‘shapes,’ stands out as something altogether stranger than many of the myriad of reported ethereal encounters around the state."Audio support for this episode was provided by Truckstop Dave.Shownotes:-1977, January 26: Slabs and Blocks-Abduction by Machine Like Beings-Truckstop Dave on Jamendo-Ransom Letter Publishing Substack-Ransom Letter Publishing Youtube Channel

“Professor Thompson, whose lake home sat on the shores of Lake Herrington said he had seen the creature an uncounted number of times and after this many encounters could still not determine Herry’s species. In an interview with the Louisville Courier, the professor is quoted as having said: ‘It’s only a monster in the sense that one would call an alligator a monster if they had never seen one before.’”Shownotes:-Midnight in Kentucky; The Bluegrass Cryptid Aquariumhttps://youtu.be/ANkXfj2Rslg?si=WkqqzmJuzB25Ki0A-Pine Barrens Institute; Cryptid Profile: The Herrington Lake Eel-Pighttps://pinebarrensinstitute.com/cryptids/2018/8/19/cryptid-profile-the-herrington-lake-eel-pig

"As Johns watched in astonishment, the object began moving toward the front porch. He could clearly see two sides of it as it approached. As the top passed under the eaves, the bottom bent backwards over the bushes which border the 71-cm high porch, in the manner of a man's leg bending at the knee, forming an obtuse angle. At this point, he lost sight of it, grabbed his .38 handgun, and quickly went to the windows."Audio support for this episode was provided by Truckstop Dave.Shownotes:-The Kentucky Monolith on Unusual Kentucky Blogspothttp://unusualkentucky.blogspot.com/2009/07/kentucky-monolith.html?m=1 -Truckstop Dave on Jamendohttps://www.jamendo.com/artist/349109/truckstopdave -Ransom Letter Publishing Youtube Channel https://youtube.com/channel/UCbSPcYF4tS4LqjMj_l0Qf2g

On the return of After Midnight to the MIK feed, Jim’s kicks us off in song, and we discuss what happens when ethereal entity encounters turn hostile, and the coverups thereof; featuring one of our favorite recurring complicated characters in UFO mythology- Richard Doty! On this episode we'll be discussing everything from and including, but not limited to: Personal paranormal experiences. Classifications of different entities. Ben's deep desire to speak with Richard Doty. The Silverbow Incident. The compartmentalization of government secrecy. Werewolves and dogman. The coverups and ‘official explanations’ for mysterious deaths. Belief and Bias. The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis, Ultraterrestrials, and the 'frequencies' of reality. Yellin 'GIT!' at a dogman. The interconnection of the phenomenal. Jamie's Hatman and poltergeist encounters. The 'sentience' of the phenomenal. How consciousness and neurodivergence interact with the paranormal. Chris Bledsoe.

Around the edges of the reality easily perceived by men seems to lurk another- A world home to entities and intelligences for which we have many names but little understanding. Reports passed down throughout history catalog a menagerie of angels, alien beings, shadowmen, sentient lights, demons, and disembodied voices who walk and stalk the plains of this alternate plane, sometimes stumbling over the borders which separate us from them and making their way into our own. One alleged diabolic denizen of the nether is said to invoke such a sense of dread and terror into those who have witnessed him that even uttering the simple moniker by which he is most known can reignite the feelings of horror long after the initial encounter has passed- The Hatman. Tonight on the return of MIKs firsthand testimonial series, Transmissions from the Abyss, we’ll hear from our very own Jamie Lee on her recurring encounters with the ominous entity himself and just how his appearance has left a lasting impact on her life and her perceptions of the unknown. In the intro to this episode we’ll also briefly touch on our own personal recent encounters of mysterious unmarked black helicopters and just how these events and others seem to indicate an ongoing communication with something larger than ourselves.MIK theme by B.

In November of 2024, residents of New Jersey began reporting a high velocity of unknown objects brazenly moving in-plain-sight and low-to-the-ground through the sky overhead. From changing shape and possessing incredible speed, to being oft-times accompanied by orbs, UFOs, and black helicopters, suspicions began to mount quickly that the so called ‘drones’ were not as they seemed. In the following months, inexplicable aircraft began being seen around the United States and the world. Though the enigma has now been firmly cemented in the heart of the public, this is far from the first time that mystery drones have been spotted en masse. Tonight on MIK, Ben and Jamie provide a brief recap of the most recent global incursions before bringing it home to Kentucky, to discuss the local 2019-2021 flap, and their own personal encounters with high strangeness phenomena wrapped in drone’s clothing. From strange coincidences and possible coverups to psyonic craft manipulating witness perception- and just what are the Future Farmers’ of America up to? Hear it all tonight on ‘Juss Dronin’ the return of Midnight in Kentucky! Shownotes: -Hillbilly Horror Stories Onlinehttps://www.hillbillyhorrorstories.com-HHS 317 w/ Ben from MIKhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/1Yf2PrTYFosOmQEpt3v2as?si=vIFb5BYWQ22Ge07Zmr56DA-Drone sightings lead to airspace shutdown at Ohio military basehttps://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2024/12/16/drone-sightings-lead-to-airspace-shutdown-at-ohio-military-base/-FAA probes holiday drone show accident that injured a boy in Floridahttps://apnews.com/article/florida-drone-show-accident-christmas-d2979c6f86ffba83b60a973bf465b392-Shawn Ryan #155 Sam Shoematehttps://open.spotify.com/episode/79leVRG9A6wmBxSMIZGQfN?si=lPFuotAPQ-ufCzv16Qbpmw-Full Interview: Whistleblower Jake Barbehttps://youtu.be/t37-SKj4rtY?si=VvWtxLoPQMtofnL2-Treyarch co-founder pleads guilty to crashing drone into firefighting plane during LA fireshttps://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/treyarch-co-founder-pleads-guilty-to-piloting-drone-during-la-fires#-Ocean County sheriff: Officer says he saw 50 drones coming off the oceanhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/ocean-county-sheriff-officer-says-224155428.html-The truth is out there — especially here<a...
