214 - The Desert Demon of Arizona That Left Bodies Behind

Ninjas Are Butterflies

Show Notes

A terrifying legend once stalked the Arizona frontier. They called it the Red Ghost—but what witnesses claimed they saw wandering through the desert was even stranger than the name.

Then we head to the skies over Iran, where a mysterious sighting bears an eerie resemblance to something reported in the same region more than 50 years ago. What keeps returning to the skies over Iran?

And finally, the people building the world’s most powerful AI are warning that we may be moving too fast. What happens if the thing we’re creating becomes something we can no longer control?

The Red Ghost, UFOs over Iran, artificial intelligence, and plenty more on Ninjas Are Butterflies Episode 214.

What if the reason we haven’t discovered intelligent life in the universe is because artificial intelligence destroyed it? This week on Ninjas Are Butterflies, comedian Brian Bates joins the guys to explore a terrifying theory about the fate of advanced alien civilizations and whether humanity could be heading toward the same disaster. Plus, scientists have successfully grown living human skin on robots, and a mysterious laboratory incident in Russia raises disturbing questions about the next pandemic. How far has science gone, and are we creating something we won’t be able to control?

L.A. Marzulli is back, and this time he brought something with him that he claims is connected directly to the Roswell crash site.

In 1967, hundreds of children and multiple adults witnessed a mysterious object appear over a Florida elementary school for three days—but the official explanation only made things stranger. This week, we dive into one of Florida’s most overlooked UFO encounters, the bizarre connection between remote viewing, AI, and human consciousness, and an ancient chapter of Egyptian history that could change the way you look at the biblical story of Joseph and the Exodus. UFOs, ancient mysteries, artificial intelligence, and plenty of rabbit holes—welcome back to Ninjas Are Butterflies.
