James C. Fox is an American documentary filmmaker, and perhaps the most important UFO documentarian of all time: from classics like Out of the Blue (2003) to I know what I saw (2014) to the maybe seminal UFO documentary in history, The Phenomenon (2020), James has fearlessly documented UFO crashes and encounters with otheworldly beings around the world. So we decided to pay him homage and make him a (mini) documentary back!

Our incredible guest today is Nick Cook. In the 1990s, Cook was the aviation editor of Jane's Defence Weekly, the UK based international defense journal. He was also an aerospace consultant and contributor to the journal from 2002 to 2008. He's won awards from the Royal Aeronautical Society in the Defense, Business, Technology, and Propulsion categories and is the last thing from a UFO nut. But in the early 90's he stumbled across an article about Antigravity that would change his life forever. This interview covers his decade long exploration into the most secretive compartments of aviation history -- the quest for antigravity. It takes him from Nazi Germany, to a forgotten American inventor named Thomas Townsend Brown until more contemporary gravity researchers today. Please enjoy this long form conversation with him!

Use code AMERICANALCHEMY at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: http://incogni.com/americanalchemy As the country with the fastest growing GDP in the world, China has been a mounting concern for western officials and citizens alike for decades now. But have you ever wondered to what extent the US is being co-opted, undermined, and compromised? How is TikTok being weaponized? How are elites like Hunter Biden, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, and Neil Bush in bed with agents of the Chinese Communist Party (for the latter quite literally)? Why are the Chinese putting rovers on the dark side of the moon? What about the ?Chinese spy balloon? that was shot down over the US last year? Is the Chinese military preparing for an all-out cyber war? And why is the CCP allowing an overtly anti-communist themed trilogy of books in that of The Three Body Problem (now a massive hit show on Netflix) to be widely distributed in their highly-censored country? Are these books acclimatizing the populace to alien life and/or is it soft recruitment for the Chinese Space Force? This is what my friend and UFO Whistleblower David Grusch speculates while claiming that China, the US, and Russia are all in a Cold War-style arms race for reverse engineering alien craft. If World War II was about who controls the skies, would World War III be about who controls outer space? To try and get the full picture, I sat down with these two experts: Michael Paul Pillsbury is a foreign policy strategist, author, and former public official in the United States. He is a senior fellow for China strategy at The Heritage Foundation and has been Director of the Center on Chinese Strategy at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C., since 2014. Josh Rogin is an American journalist currently serving as a foreign policy columnist for the Global Opinions section of The Washington Post and a political analyst for CNN. He is author of the book Chaos Under Heaven: Trump, Xi, and the Battle for the 21st Century. *** AMERICAN ALCHEMY is an original series hosted by Jesse Michels that explores the frontier of science and tech.

Diana Pasulka is a religious studies professor at UNC Wilmington who has written three books: Heaven Can Wait, American Cosmic and Encounters (links below). The first was about Catholic purgatory and when Pasulka began documenting historical accounts of ?divine? or ?angelic? visitations in the Catholic tradition she started to notice commonalities among them and modern alien and UFO experiences. Thus began her documentation of the modern religious aspects of the UFO phenomenon along with her journey into classified secret aerospace work in the United States. Her book Encounters served to destigmatize ?disclosure? as a global, transhistorical phenomenon that transcends our myopic western frame. It was an honor and a privilege to have her on American Alchemy!

David Grusch is a former 14-year high ranking intelligence officer who left government in early '23 to blow the whistle on UFO?s. In 2019, he was tasked by the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and Pentagon to investigate UFO?s as part of the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon Task Force (or UAPTF). In that context, he slowly started to uncover a covert UFO reverse engineering program being concealed from the civilian government. In June of '23, he outed himself to the public. In July of '23, he testified before Congress.

Graham Hancock is an unrelenting journalist uncovering the origins of humanity?s forgotten past. His new docuseries on Netflix is called Ancient Apocalypse and it documents the abundance of evidence that humanity is much older than the prevailing belief among mainstream archeologists. Most people believe civilization was started a mere 6,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent. Graham explores various archeological sites across the globe that show in fact our civilization is much older than this. In this raw longform interview we discuss the secrets of Atlantis, the ark of the covenant, DMT as a window into the spirit world and of course, UFOs and aliens.

Martin Shkreli is America?s most hated pharma bro. In 2015 he bought daraprim which treats HIV and AIDS induced toxoplasmosis and raised the price dramatically.

Professor Loeb received a Ph.D. in plasma physics at age 24 from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (1986) and was subsequently a long-term member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (1988-1993), where he started to work in theoretical astrophysics. In 1993 he moved to Harvard University where he was tenured three years later. In 2021, Avi founded the Galileo Project whose goal is to bring the search for extraterrestrial technological signatures of Extraterrestrial Technological Civilizations (ETCs) from accidental or anecdotal observations and legends into the mainstream of transparent, validated, and systematic scientific research. This ground-based project searches for physical objects, rather than electromagnetic signals, associated with extraterrestrial technological equipment.

Parapsychology is a fringey field of physics that involves the study of mind over matter effects. Many elite universities had parapsychology departments in the 50?s, 60?s and 70?s. At American Alchemy, we think the field is worthy of further inquiry. On this episode, we explore two of parapsychology?s most mind blowing instantiations. The first is a government psychic spy program called Stargate. I interview one of the psychic spies in the program, a guy named Paul Smith, who now teaches people to remote view. The second is a parapsychologist at Princeton named Herb Metz who studies random event generators (or very simple/basic computers) that people can affect with their minds. Pretty insane stuff. If you don?t believe me, watch the episode and see for yourself!

This week?s American Alchemist is Brian Muraresku: Brian is the New York Times bestselling author of the book, The Immortality Key. It documents the Ancient Greek mystery rituals that many said held civilization together and that the fathers of western civilization (Plato, Aristotle etc.) all underwent. Many of these great thinkers claimed the rituals helped them encounter ?their immortal soul?. In The Immortality Key, Brian makes a strong case that the drink they consumed in the mystery rituals contained psychedelics and that these rituals had serious effects on the beginnings of Christianity. *** AMERICAN ALCHEMY is an original series hosted by Jesse Michels that explores the frontier of science and tech.

This week?s American Alchemist is Christian Angermayer: entrepreneur, investor, and head of Apeiron Investment Group, which manages 3.5 Billion Dollars. Born and bred in Germany, Christian is the first investor in Compass Pathways and founder of Atai Life Sciences, demarginalizing psychedelics and bringing them into the mainstream as FDA-approved treatments and therapies for ailments like depression, addiction, and PTSD. Perhaps more interesting than his business track record is his personality; he?s both laser-focused and great at actualizing his goals, visualizing them with a specific method every morning before achieving them. In this interview, we get into everything from his goal setting and visualization methods to psychedelics, to space, to biotech, to crypto, and other sectors that we both invest in. *** AMERICAN ALCHEMY is an original series hosted by Jesse Michels that explores the frontier of science and tech.
