The Rise of Basic Men
Episode 40 | Alien Abductions & Haunting UFO Stories
Alien abductions: real, imagined, or something in between? In this mind-bending episode, we dive into two of the most famous UFO abduction cases—Betty and Barney Hill and Travis Walton—before Chris drops a personal bombshell: his own chilling, lifelong encounters with the unknown.
From a New Hampshire highway in 1961 to an Arizona forest in 1975, we unpack the stories that launched the modern abduction phenomenon. Then, Chris takes the mic, revealing eerie childhood memories, paralyzing nighttime episodes, and a haunting pattern spanning decades—complete with mysterious scars and unexplained flashes caught on camera.
What We’re Covering in This Episode:
- Betty & Barney Hill (1961) – The first modern abduction: a bright light, missing time, and physical evidence that still baffles experts.
- Travis Walton (1975) – Struck by a UFO beam, gone for five days, and backed by witnesses—how does this one hold up?
- Chris’s Abduction Story – Eyes in the window at age four, levitation in 2015, and a 2020 double-header that shook him to his core.
- Physical vs. Metaphysical – Are abductees taken bodily, or is it a soul-deep, interdimensional trip?
- The Evidence Question – Torn dresses, scuffed shoes, polygraph tests, and unexplainable scars—what’s real?
- Alien Hybrids & Probes – Are they building a new race, or just obsessed with our backsides?
- Whiskey-Fueled Theories – From hot alien wives to government cover-ups, we’re tossing it all on the table.
With whiskey shots flowing and the crew in rare form, we wrestle with the big questions: Are these cosmic visitors friend, foe, or figment? Chris lays it all bare, inviting you to join the conversation—and share your own stories.
Listen, laugh, and question everything. Is it sleep paralysis, extraterrestrial pit stops, or a peek into another dimension? You decide.
