The Why Files: Operation Podcast

The Why Files covers mysteries, myths and legends. We tell stories and seek the truth in a fun and lighthearted way. Our content is heavily researched; we don't release an episode unless we're sure we can bring something new to a topic.

June 1947. Harbor patrolman Harold Dahl witnesses six metallic objects over Maury Island, Washington. One drops molten slag onto his boat. A stranger in a black suit arrives the next morning, knowing details Dahl shared with no one.

Two military investigators examine the debris. Their plane crashes. The evidence vanishes.

Sixteen years later, witness Fred Crisman surfaces in the JFK assassination investigation. Declassified files reveal he was a CIA disruption agent. On November 12, 1963, Kennedy issues a classified memo demanding UFO disclosure and cooperation with the Soviets. Ten days later, he's gone.

The same operatives who investigated UFOs in 1947 appear connected to Dallas. Guy Banister. Allen Dulles. Fred Crisman.

The UFO case might have been a hoax. But what it exposed was real.

613: The CIA, Men in Black and the Plot to Take Out JFK | The Maury Island Incident

The agencies tasked with defending America have a shocking secret history of attacking its own people. DARPA developed Agent Orange that poisoned countless veterans, while the CIA conducted brutal mind control experiments through MK-Ultra, dosing unsuspecting citizens with LSD and worse. 

From Operation Gladio's false flag terrorism to domestic surveillance programs targeting activists and journalists, declassified documents reveal decades of government crimes hidden behind national security claims. 

These operations cost thousands of American lives, yet almost no one faced consequences. The real conspiracy isn't what they're hiding - it's what they've already admitted to doing.

612: The Dark Alliance: CIA and DARPA's Hidden War on Citizens (COMPILATION)

Discover the United States Strategic Command's CONPLAN 8888, the military's actual plan for confronting a zombie apocalypse. 

This discussion uncovers how this unique document, though labeled a training exercise, connects to genuine military strategies for pandemics and WMDs. We examine the various zombie classifications—from pathogenic to evil magic—and the chilling scenarios the Pentagon considers. 

Learn about the operational phases, from environmental shaping to civil authority restoration, and why certain critical details remain hidden in classified annexes. 

This compelling account also touches on the psychological impact of zombie media and essential survival tips for any major societal disruption.

611: CONPLAN 8888: The Secret Plan to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse

In 1947, a mysterious craft crashed in the New Mexico desert. President Truman immediately formed a secret committee of twelve men to manage this unprecedented discovery. For almost 40 years, Majestic 12 operated in complete secrecy, controlling every aspect of UFO information. 

When leaked documents finally exposed their existence, researchers thought they had found proof of the ultimate government cover-up. Instead, they discovered something far more disturbing: a sophisticated disinformation campaign that turned truth into a weapon. 

The psychological warfare techniques perfected on UFO researchers in the 1980s have now become the blueprint for manipulating public perception on every topic. 

This isn't just about aliens and cover-ups - it's about how information warfare shapes what we believe is real.

610: Majestic 12 | Secret Documents Expose UFO Cover-Up Vol. 1

This compilation reveals eight extraordinary cases that will make you question everything you thought you knew about what's really happening above our heads.

From a weather observer's unlikely friendship with chalk-white aliens at a secret base to Brazilian Air Force documentation of blood-draining UFO attacks, these stories span continents and decades. Military officers, school children, and government investigators all share one thing in common: they witnessed something that wasn't supposed to exist.

Buckle up for alien combat operations, telepathic extraterrestrials, and ancient astronauts who might have built us from scratch. Each story presents evidence that we are definitely not alone.

609: COMPILATION: UFOs and Aliens Vol.2 | They are NOT our friends

In 2023, something began hunting people in the remote Amazon village of San Antonio de Pintuyacu. Witnesses described seven-foot beings in black armor with glowing yellow eyes, hovering on disc-shaped platforms, hunting for human faces.

Fifteen-year-old Talia barely escaped when two tried to peel the skin from her face with a laser device. She heard them speaking Spanish and English, planning their procedure.

For 500 years, the Ikitu people have told stories of the Pishtaco - pale-skinned beings who steal human fat and faces. Now the legend had returned with advanced technology.

Authorities blamed illegal miners with jetpacks. But the evidence suggests something far more sinister - advanced military technology entwined with a shadowy international trade in human lives.

608: Peru's Most Terrifying Mystery | The Face Peelers

On April 13, 2029, an asteroid named Apophis will pass closer to Earth than our communication satellites. For the first time in human history, millions of people will watch a mountain-sized space rock race across the night sky.

NASA says we're safe, but Apophis is just the beginning. Scientists estimate 25,000 city-killer asteroids cross Earth's orbit, and they've only found half of them.

The other 13,500 remain completely hidden, somewhere in the darkness of space. Every three days, fragments from ancient comets bombard our planet.

Just 12,800 years ago, a cosmic impact reset human civilization and triggered a freeze that lasted over a thousand years. The evidence is buried in rock layers across four continents.

Today, we have the technology to fight back, but time is running out. The question isn't whether another impact will happen—it's whether we'll be ready when it does.

607: Asteroid Apophis is Coming | Ground Zero: California

A Pentagon satellite detected an energy-shielded chamber beneath Romania's Bucegi Mountains. When an identical site in Baghdad activated simultaneously, world powers realized they faced an active ancient network.

Only a psychic Romanian intelligence officer could breach the lethal barriers. Inside, holographic technology revealed secrets that shadow organizations had sought for centuries.

The discovery triggered Romania's immediate NATO admission after years of rejection. The story comes from a single intelligence source with no verification, yet archaeological sites worldwide remain under military protection.

Something is being hidden from the public - but what?

606: The Ancient Time Capsule Controlled by the Global Shadow Government

On February 20, 1954, President Eisenhower vanished for an entire night. The official story claimed a dental emergency, but that was a lie.

The President was at Edwards Air Force Base for the most important meeting in human history. Two alien races had arrived on Earth, each offering humanity a different path forward.

Eisenhower made his choice. The consequences of that decision have remained hidden for seventy years.

605: The Greada Treaty | America's Alien Alliance (STRIPPED)

Australia's Outback hides more than deadly snakes and crocodiles. Ancient creatures stalk the wilderness, leaving behind torn campsites, blood-stained trees, and terrified witnesses.

The Yowie towers eight feet tall, attacks isolated hikers, and left researcher Dean Harrison scarred for life. Water-dwelling Bunyips drag victims underwater while museums hide skull evidence that proves their existence.

Most disturbing are the Yara-ma-yha-who - red tree vampires that drink blood slowly, transforming humans into creatures like themselves. Aboriginal elders warned about these predators for centuries.

Police reports document modern encounters. Veterans and park rangers describe glowing amber eyes watching from shadows. Victims return from the wilderness changed, missing time and memories.
