Aliens with the Girls

Do you believe in reincarnation? I do. This week we're diving into one of the most unsettling reincarnation stories ever documented: the case of James Leininger. What started as a toddler’s obsession with airplanes quickly spiraled into violent night terrors, eerie memories of a WWII plane crash, and details that his parents somehow verified as real. From haunted bedtime screams to a dead pilot’s identity, this story raises one terrifying question: can children remember past lives?  

This week, the girls investigate. We're digging into the growing list of scientists, many who’ve mysteriously died or gone missing in recent years. We're breaking down the most unsettling cases and the strange overlaps between them. Coincidence, espionage… or... aliens?

We're sticking with conspiracies - sorry, Russia. This week, we're diving into the story of Paul Bennewitz and the mysterious, super real Dulce Base. We're exploring claims of underground alien-human collaborations, secret government experiments, and eerie transmissions detected near Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. Was Bennewitz a brilliant mind uncovering extraterrestrial truth, or the victim of a calculated government disinformation campaign? We don’t know.

Welcome to Conspiracies with the Girls, we needed a break from Russia (and kind of aliens) so this week we're diving into Hollow Earth Theory - heard of it? Me either. We'll start with Edmond Halley and his attempt to explain Earth’s magnetic field, then we'll trace how this centuries-old idea evolved into theories about hidden civilizations, polar entrances (shoutout the Arctics), and even a possible inner sun (much to Michael's dismay). From ancient myths like Shamballa to explorers like Richard E. Byrd, we'll unpack the line between science, legend, and conspiracy before asking the real question: what if aliens aren’t from space at all… but have been living here the entire time. 

Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, former president of Kalmykia (Russia) and chess enthusiast, claims he was abducted by aliens from his Moscow apartment in 1997. One of the only alien abduction claims ever made by a sitting political leader. In this episode, we break down his account of being taken aboard a spacecraft by humanoid beings in yellow (track) suits. Was it a genuine extraterrestrial experience, a dream, or something else entirely.

SPECIAL GUEST ALERT! Julia was out sick (get well soon queen, we miss you) so this week Michael and I are joined by the one, the only, Dalton Von - I don't know your last name so I'm making one up - Doll!! Hooray, Dalton!  Grab your skis and hold your terracotta warriors close because this week we're diving into a CIA file that will have your head spinning. Things are about to get a little chilly here in Siberia.  And listen, if you haven't already go rate, review and freaking subscribe to AWTG before I lose my mind. Do it. Do it now. 

Okay so Michael and I YAPPED this week - Julia wasn't here to keep us on track so it's actually not our fault. The story starts at the 18-minute mark for those who want to get right into it. This week we're taking a break from the glowing orbs and heading into space with two of our favorite Cosmonauts - but they're not the only ones up there… cue the eerie music.

In this episode of Aliens with the Girls, we head to Dalnegorsk, Russia - though by listening to the way we pronounce it you would have never guested. Regardless, it's home to one of the most mysterious UFO incidents ever recorded, often referred to as “Russia’s Roswell.” On January 29, 1986, witnesses watched a glowing red sphere fly silently over the remote Soviet town before crashing into a hillside on the outskirts of town. Civilian investigator Yuri Golubev examined the site and uncovered strange physical evidence, including metallic droplets fused into rock, glassy residue, and microscopic mesh structures unlike any known technology. Laboratory analysis revealed unusually pure metals with properties that puzzled scientists and offered no clear explanation. With no identifiable aircraft debris and no official answers, the Dalnegorsk crash remains one of the Cold War’s most compelling unexplained aerial phenomena. Was this advanced military tech, a natural anomaly, or something not of this world? The girls investigate.

It's officially season 3 of AWTG!! And this season, we're in mother Russia.  Last week we had Michael host, and this week Sid's bestie CC is joining us to share her thoughts on everything Aliens. We're kicking the season off with a chaotic, unserious, historically spooky dive into Russia’s first well documented, and wildly under-discussed, UFO encounters; a true paranormal account recorded by 17th-century monks in northern Russia. Using primary monastic chronicles, we explore why this early modern UFO sighting feels shockingly modern, how it parallels later alien encounters, and why Russia may be a hotspot for recurring UAP phenomena across centuries. No politics, no sermons—just aliens, history, skepticism, and the question we always come back to: if it wasn’t natural, if it was "God"… then what the hell was it?

This week on Aliens with the Girls, Michael steps in to hosts a deep dive into the Voronezh UFO incident of 1989, one of the most shocking and openly reported alien encounters of the Cold War. In a public park in Voronezh, Russia, multiple children and adults claimed a glowing red UFO landed, towering humanoid aliens emerged, and a young boy was briefly abducted before being returned unharmed. Reported by Soviet state media and international outlets during the era of Glasnost, this mass UFO sighting raises unsettling questions about extraterrestrials, government transparency, and whether the incident was mass hysteria, experimental technology, or a genuine alien encounter.   FOR OUR SKIPPERS: The story begins around the 5min mark, stop complaining :)
