In part 3 of the Nazis & UFOs series we explore the soure of some of the most outlandish and intriguing stories in UFO loreâAntarctica.
In 1938, Nazi Germany made an expedition to Antarctica where they claimed territory. What could have compelled them to make that investment of time and resources in the lead up to WWII? Were they looking for something? And could they have found it?
After the war, rumors swirled that what remained of the Third Reich escaped to secret bases in Antarctica and from there the mystique only grew. Since then, a baroque mythology has sprung up around the southernmost continent, with each new twist and turn only adding to mystery.
Today, weâll dive into some of the most popularâand bizarreâtheories as to what the Nazis may have found in Antarcticaâincluding the lost city of Atlantis, an unknown ancient culture from the distant past, secret alien bases, and more.

![[The UFO Rabbit Hole] Ep 18: An Interview with Dr. James Madden: Philosophy & UFOs](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Xbxx5m9FbHs/mqdefault.jpg "[The UFO Rabbit Hole] Ep 18: An Interview with Dr. James Madden: Philosophy & UFOs
In this episode, Iâm bringing you an interview with Dr. James Madden, professor of philosophy at Benedictine University. He is a martial artist, fitness coach, and philosopher with particular interest in the philosophy of mind, aesthetics, philosophy of religion, Aristotelianism, and phenomenology.
If youâll recall from the last episode, Diana mentioned Dr. Madden as someone who shared her âspookyâ interpretation of the Cave. I first met Jim when he was a speaker in one of Dianaâs classes over the summer on this subject, and I really enjoyed learning from him. He has a really coherent way of placing the Cave within its proper context both within Platoâs Republic and within its historical context that opens up these ideas in inspiring and challenging ways.
So thatâs where weâll start, with an hour-long deep dive into Platoâs Cave, and what it implies for the nature of both reality and the UFO phenomenon. And then in the second half of the interview, weâll turn to Dr. Maddenâs latest philosophical work with regard to the phenomenon including what Heidegger reveals to us about the life and work of Godfather of Modern Ufology, Jaques Vallee, what Aristotleâs natural theology suggests about the potential nature of non-human intelligence, and how that work is being continued in the modern day by Dr. Jeffrey Kripal of Rice University. And finally, weâll explore Dr. Maddenâs fascinating hypothesis for the origins of the UFO phenomenon through the concept of the âumweltâ.
I hope you all enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it. This is my longest episode to date because we were having such a blast that I completely lost track of time. And when I went back to listen again, there wasnât anything that I wanted to cut out. If you enjoy wading out into the deep end of the UFO phenomenon, this episode is for you.
LISTEN TO THESE EPISODES FIRST
If these ideas are new to you, you might find it helpful to go back and listen to the previous two episodes to get greater context.

In the final part of this 3 part series, A Rational Approach to Ancient Aliens, we finally get to the good stuff â non-human intervention and cyclical global cataclysms. Weâll start by taking a tour of some of the most mysterious archeological sites in the world: from Puma Punku in Bolivia to Baalbek in Lebanon. Weâll even talk about a sunken city off the coast of Cuba that may be 50,000 years old.
Do these anomalous sites prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the ancient alien theory is true, and that human civilization was guided â or perhaps even seeded â but a super advanced intelligence in the distant past?
And finally, weâll look at the evidence surrounding the cataclysm that kicked off the Younger Dryas as well as examine the possibility that a more dramatic and profound cycle of global disasters may be responsible for shaping human history.
