Description

This special compilation brings together ten staff favorites that question everything we think we know about reality. From the dark corridors of DARPA where future technology is born to the frozen wastelands of Antarctica where Admiral Byrd allegedly encountered an advanced civilization, the official narrative often crumbles under scrutiny. We analyze the Pentagon’s declassified plan to combat the undead and investigate whether John Wilkes Booth truly died in a Virginia barn. The Smithsonian Institution faces accusations of suppressing evidence regarding giant skeletons found across the United States. Even our existence might be an illusion, with glitches like the Mandela Effect suggesting we live in a simulation. Ancient structures like Gobekli Tepe may warn of a cyclical destruction that wiped out our ancestors. We look at the strange anomalies of the moon, the unsettling nature of liminal spaces, and the possibility that humanity was engineered by visitors from the stars. These stories suggest the line between conspiracy and fact is thinner than authorities admit. #Aliens #Zombies #BestWhyFilesEpisodes 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 Executive Producers: Jennifer Gentile Gino Gentile AJ Gentile Patreon Members Editors: Ryan Fitzgerald Brandon Snyder Joe Stone Producers: Erik Anderson Haley Burke Jen Gentile Victoria Young Research: Haley Burke AJ Gentile Gino Gentile Jen Gentile Victoria Young Written/Hosted by: AJ Gentile Hecklefish J.

Please don't even think about replacing Hecklefish with too cartoony and cute beavers.

Not too keen on the beaver if I'm honest. But that's just my little opinion. Others may disagree.

AJ, I’m a vet who learned the hard way that our government, the VA, will avoid responsibility more vigorously than defend veterans. All comes down to money. I thank your father in law for his service and his sacrifice. We need more people who show faith in their beliefs. ❤

I’m 58 years old I was born in 1967 in Germany. My father was Air Force. We lived on Barksdale Air Force Base during the Vietnam war. My father was a B-52 jet engine mechanic he came home from his first work of duty with a clean bill of health he had a full physical before his second tour he left for his second tour duty and was back at Keesler Air Force Base three months later with seven different kinds of cancer, he died ultimately of lymphoma which ate up every organ and his body. He died an empty shell. I’ll never forget at five years old looking at my father, thinking he was a skeleton. He was one of those that were a victim of age range. I’ve seen videos because I was in the army and I’ve seen videos that showed agent Orange being dropped from B5 And sucked back through the Jets. I can’t find these videos online anymore, but they do exist. My dad was crawling around in that stuff doing his duty for his country and he died and left five children and a widow. My life was never the same. My mom went to prison. I ended up in an orphanage, but where does all of that come to play? You don’t see the things that go on behind the scenes and the detriment that follows us because of our governments irresponsibility.

Man, if I woke up and everyone was gone, I'd move my bed and PS4 into the nearest pharmacy, then I'd lock the door and never come out💁🏻‍♀️
