The Cryptonaut Podcast

A quiet drive home ends with dead lights, screaming static, and a chunk of missing time. At Area X, UAPs dart across the sky, the forest throws rocks back, voices echo yours, and a black shape steps from the shadows.

The Cryptonaut Podcast

After shattering a once-pragmatic journalist’s grip on reality with a mind-bending tour through good and evil, magic and consciousness, UAPs, psychic powers, soul extraction, and the confounding five-tiered architecture of reality, the saurian siren changed course. Leaving the metaphysical maelstrom behind, Lacerta turned to the nuts and bolts of ufology; legendary crashes, controversial UFO photographs, and the shadowy agenda of the Greys… and at last, the curtain lifts on the elusive figure who made these encounters possible: the mysterious facilitator known only as E.F. Lacerta Files...

Though he couldn’t tell whether it was a government agency or some shadow-drenched cabal, journalist Ole K. became certain of one thing: he was being watched. After a string of nerve-shredding, too-close encounters with whoever, or whatever, was tailing him, Ole managed to secure a second meeting with Lacerta. This time, the enigmatic saurian didn’t just dip into ancient history. She dove headfirst into the nature of souls, psychic phenomena, the principles behind what we call magic… and, casually, the underlying framework of reality itself.

The Cryptonaut Podcast

Questions and answers flew fast and furious between the once skeptical reporter and the exotic entity sitting across from him. With each new exchange, they forged a deeper understanding of our species shared history, but—fascinating though the ties that bound us may have been—it would be the revelation of the existence of a group of “others” that filled the room with dread. The reason why? These others were ancient, insidious, and brought with them the unmistakable threat of a reality bending, world shattering, extinction-level event… And what was worse? They’re already here. The...

The Cryptonaut Podcast

In 1999, a Swedish journalist and UFO debunker prepared for the strangest interview of his career. In an empty room, he watched as the door opened and a strikingly beautiful woman entered. She told him that she was there to reveal the truth of humanity's origins and our place in the cosmic hierarchy. The reporter had spoken with others making similarly outlandish claims but the key difference here was that the stunning woman now sitting across from him was poised, confident and anything but human.  The Cryptonaut Hotline: The Cryptonaut Podcast Patreon:  The Cryptonaut Podcast Merch...

In the 1930s, a horrific cave in nearly took the life of a Soviet prisoner. Having barely survived the ordeal, little could this man have imagined that destiny would lead him into an icy mausoleum filled frozen nightmares before sending him on a collision course with one of paranormal lore’s darkest of denizens.

Whether surrounding a small town or a major metropolis, the back roads of our world are filled with intriguing sights and bucolic backdrops, but for an unlucky few, this potentially pastoral paradise can be a gateway to… high strangeness.

The Cryptonaut Podcast

For some the intersection between folklore and real world is cut and dry; one is fact, the other fantasy. But those who’ve peered through the cracks in consensus reality know the truth; our world exists at a crossroads between the seen and unseen; the known and the unfathomable; and that, when we least expect it, these realities can come crashing together in ways that shatter our perceptions… and for one Russian miner an encounter with a beautiful, in-humanoid would offer this mere mortal a glimpse into a world beyond imagination.
