This week on The Signal, Dan and Roz dive into one of the most fascinating and chaotic news cycles yet. From groundbreaking peer-reviewed science to the strange messages humanity has beamed into the cosmos, this episode is packed.
First, the duo unpack Beatriz Villarreal’s astonishing research into atmospheric transients captured in 1950s Palomar Observatory plates—flashes in the sky that appear, vanish, and correlate with nuclear tests and UFO reports at a staggering level of statistical certainty. Are we looking at the first scientific breadcrumbs of watchers in orbit?
Then it’s a whirlwind tour through humanity’s own cosmic outreach—from the Voyager Golden Record to the infamous “Poetica Vaginal” transmission (yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like). What have we been saying to the universe, and what might eventually say hello back?
Dan also shares an incredible UFO video he filmed at Popocatépetl volcano, a hotspot now attracting serious scientific attention. Is it a balloon, a drone… or something that truly slips through our fingers?
From there, the conversation arcs into interstellar visitors, the panic and poetry around 3I/ATLAS, big questions about disclosure culture, and the avalanche of new media—from Bugonia to the year’s most-anticipated documentary, Age of Disclosure.
It’s curious, funny, deeply informed, and full of those “wait, WHAT?” moments that make The Signal what it is.
Strap in—this one’s wild.
Remember to be curious – the universe is bigger than we know!
