From the unexplained to the mundane, come join us on a Journey to the Fringe. Hello and welcome to Journey to the Fringe, where it's Serpo, Serpo, Serpo, all the time, time, time. We are your podcast hosts, Taylor and Chelsea, here today, reaching back on an old topic that we have done two episodes on on the past. Chelsea, are you ready for it? It's Serpo. Oh, I'm excited. Okay. Revisiting this, what, over a year ago? Over a year ago, yes. Oh, those were great episodes.
For those of you that can't be bothered to go back, these are fantastic episodes. I highly recommend going and re -listening to them because they are a lot of fun. But Cole's Notes, there's papers out there that say that a group of 12 humans were sent on a 10 -year galactic trip to a planet named Serpo and they came back after 12 years. Only 8 of them came back alive. and everything was hidden. At the end of it, it looks like Richard Doty just made up the whole thing,
but there's a whole story behind it. Project Camelot's involved. There's a lot of fun and shenanigans. So I highly recommend re -listening to it. And Chelsea, I just want to start this episode off. Do you remember how we left Serpo .org off last time around? The website was not being paid for, if I remember correctly. I didn't actually, I re -listened to it, but I didn't
actually make it to the end of this. Hilariously, there was a notice for whoever owns this website, please pay for it because you have to pay it in months, and we're not gonna host it anymore until you pay for it again. Yeah, okay, my memory was, oh good, I'm glad my memory's not going. Okay, great. I had to do everything through the Wayback Machine, which I still do have to do, but Chelsea, I want you to go to Serpo .org now.
Yes! I was waiting for it. Because something has changed in the meantime and it was very recent like I was on here about a month ago and it was still the same. What is this? It is now a conference for Serpo. This seems so fake. and we're just going to read through it together. Does this seem like AI? It definitely seems like AI. So we're going to start off. It just says Serpo.
It has a few different things to click on the top and it says, welcome to our conference on the top secret exchange program of 12 US military personnel to Serpo Planet Zeta Reticuli between 1965 and 1978. Conference organizers, John Harris, Bryce Meade, Marsha Coleman. Can't click on their names. These are such generic names that you can't Google them. They don't look like real people, do they? No. They don't. These look like AI generated images. They look like stock images.
John Harris definitely looks like AI. I don't know. Maybe. Yeah, he does. Okay. And then there's an about section. We are pleased to welcome you to a conference on one of the most mysterious and controversial topics in history, the Serpo Exchange Program. Between 1965 and 1978, 12 US military personnel entered into a top secret deal with the planet Zeta Reticuli, embarking on a journey that has been the subject of rumors
and myths for years. This conference is an attempt to uncover the truth surrounding this amazing story. We have gathered leading experts, researchers, and scholars to sort out the details and bring you the most reliable sources of information. What will you learn? At this conference, exchange operation details. You'll hear firsthand accounts from those involved in the program and learn how they left Earth and what happened to them
on Serpo. Right there is a huge red flag. Even if you believe the story of Serpo, they've all died. There are no firsthand accounts anymore. They all died by 2002. Okay. Historical context. We will look at the history and political circumstances that led to the program and try to understand its significance in the context of the Cold War and the space race. Evidence analysis. Experts will analyze the available evidence and testimony to sort out the truth and falsity of various
aspects of the story. Discussion and questions. You will be given the opportunity to ask questions and participate in discussions with the experts to gain a fuller understanding of the topic. We believe that the story of Serpo Exchange represents a pivotal moment in human history, and our goal is to uncover this story and all its complexity and mystery. Join us at the conference to delve into a world of mystery and discovery together. Kelsey, I don't think I need to ask you, but
that does sound very AI. written does it not I can't even form a thought on this what is going on I don't know the next part it says register now to uncover a mysterious chapter of history when you click on the contact button you can enter your name your email the subject your message which is optional that's all it says and it gives you a phone number which is an area code 901 and a location which is 875 Burton Avenue Memphis that's not even a full address I'm currently
sending a message because I I don't feel like it gives us details on how to sign up. It does not. Do I sign up? I'm sending a message. But I do know that it is going to happen at the end of April. I think it's April 25th to 28th. It doesn't say 2025, but it's likely 2025. I just sent a message. It has not submitted yet. I just love they have an outline of the first three days to the three days. So here's first day, nine to nine thirty registration of participants
and welcome coffee. 930 to 10, conference opening, opening remarks by the organizer and introduction to the topic. 10 to 1130, history of circle exchange program, examination of the historical context and major events of the period 1965 to 78. 1130 to 1230, key participants and their roles, introducing the key figures involved in the program, analyzing their roles and contributions. 1230 to 2, lunch break, and then workshops. Documentary evidence
from 2 to 330, an exploration. of the documents and archives presented related to the Serpo exchange program 330 to 5 dealing with the sensational evidence practical cases for analyzing and interpreting testimonies of program participants 7 to 9 projection of a documentary film about the Serpo exchange program followed by discussion that just is so vague i don't even know who's presenting like they haven't said that i don't think they say that any of the days They do have testimonials,
I don't know how because this hasn't happened yet, but Richard Laffoon said this conference proved to be an incredible immersion into the historical context and details of the top secret surplus exchange program. I was amazed at the level of detail provided by the speakers and I am sure I learned a lot about the government's covert operations. Rebecca Mullen says Wonderful conference listening to the program participants stories related to the Serpo exchange program
was fascinating. Gave me an in -depth look at events I had previously only heard about in rumors. The organizers did a great job bringing together so many experts on the topic. Curtis Morales says It was an amazing event full of interesting facts and fascinating stories. I am deeply impressed with how the organizers were able to gather such a variety of perspectives on the topic of the top secret exchange program at Serpo. Each speaker added something unique to this fascinating mosaic
of history. That's the end of the testimonials. And I have to say, each person has their own picture. Again, could be very clearly stock footage. Not one of them happened to mention any of these great speakers, who they were. And then Chelsea, once you get to that point, there's a blog with some things. But below that, there is nothing but casino advertisements. Just Google this 875 Barton Street in Memphis. It's just a residential neighborhood. Oh, man, I need to see this. This
is the weirdest. like there's not even sidewalks and I sent a message to see how do I sign up and it doesn't submit huh well yeah this is weird and I just I don't know if this is no I can't call the United States can I well you can but like don't call right now Why? They do have an entire articles they've posted on this website,
but I wasn't going to focus on these. I just found this so interesting that somebody has taken over the Serpo website and decided to do like, I don't know, it seemed like maybe an AI scam, but like, what are they scamming? Are they just trying to get people to those casinos at the bottom? because there's way easier ways to get people to click on casino ads than to create this entire fake conference and then put casino
ads at the bottom. It's clearly all EI. Well, and first and foremost, the first casino is safecasinos .com. So, you know, actually, never mind that this is legit. Dress and the foot. That has to be it. It has to be. Yeah, there's 18 casino links. Copyright 2025 Serpo All Rights Reserve. And if you click on Serpo, it takes you back to this page. Just another bizarre thing. Yeah, I can't submit anything to find out how to attend the conference. But anyhow, it says it's April
26th to 28th. It doesn't have a year. There are testimonies about how good it was in super vague terms, so maybe it's already happened. I don't know. If you guys happen to be in the Memphis area, if you could check this out for us, I would be super interested if you could kind of dig into it, because we're too far away and lazy to look into this. Well, I think we've looked at it enough. This is I wouldn't recommend anybody going to this 875 Barton Street. They're just
waiting there to stab people. They might get a lineup, April 26th, who knows? What a weird thing though. Oh man, sorry, I had to Google Maps this really quick. Please, take a look. It looks like a big building. Oh no, it's not, wow. Not its house. Yeah, that one page definitely described it in a different way. Oh yeah, it's not a nice neighborhood either. Doesn't seem like it, but I don't know anything about it. Is it a different Memphis? Does it specifically
say Memphis, Tennessee? No, it says Memphis. It does say Memphis. But this is where it took me on Google Maps, so I assume that's the right place. I don't know. weird thing yeah anyhow that actually has nothing to do with the story i was going to do today i just thought it was crazy that there has been that update on the web page I'm glad you went and looked as soon as you said that I was like I'm gonna go look.
No what we're gonna do is I thought it would be fun just because the entire story of Serpo was leaked to a UFO email group back in the early 2000s and it was leaked over the course of about three years so I thought it would be fun to just go through and read some of the leaks and the stories that were coming out about Serpo around that time because we gave a brief idea but I thought it'd be fun to get more into the detail and whenever we're just kind of feeling like
it, we can read some of the Serpo stories. So let's return to Serpo with some of these stories. Kelsey, I wanted to start with about the team and their selection process. This was posted originally November 29th, 2005. It was the eighth posting by Anonymous. I decided to concentrate this release on the team and their selection process, communication problems, and the final exchange. There have been many questions pertaining
to these issues. background. EB -1, for those that need a bit of background on it, the EBs were what they called the aliens. They're not grays, but they're basically grays. EB -1 provided a communication device that allowed us to contact SERPO. This communication device was on board the EBEN spacecraft that crashed in July 1947 near Corona, New Mexico. EB -1 showed us the proper use of this communication device prior
to his death. However, the device did not function properly and no contact could be made with SERPO. Just prior to EB -1's death, an American scientist from Los Alamos figured out the device worked and connected an energy source found in the even craft to the communication device. With EB -1's assistance and language input several signals were sent during the summer of 52. In early fall of 52 we received several signals on the device. EB -1 translated the messages and provided us
with that information. EB -1 sent six messages. The first message was just letting his planet know he was alive. Second message explained the crash in 47 and the death of his crew. The third message asked for a rescue craft for him. The fourth message suggested a formal meeting with leaders of Earth. The fifth message suggested an exchange program. Which, that seems like a very weird way to communicate everything, does it not? Yeah, oh yeah. I'm alive. Everybody else
is dead. Please come rescue me. Do you want to meet the people who I'm with? And then, hey, let's create an exchange program. I mean, the fifth one seems right. Yeah, it really escalates quickly. Should you not immediately say, hey, come rescue me? Like, it seems weird that they waited until the third message to do that. And why would they want to create an exchange program without vetting people that they're, you know, exchanging with? Yeah, it's a weird circumstance.
We are awful people. Yeah. Jokes on them. Then, of course, the sixth message provided landing coordinates for any future rescue or visitation missions to Earth. The incoming message gave a time and date and confirmed a landing location. However, once the message was translated by EB1, it was determined that the date was over 10 years
away. Fearing that EB1, who was sick at this point, did not translate the message correctly, our scientists began to translate the message based on the even language that was taught to us by EB1. No, he was a mechanic, not a scientist.
He was still able to teach us some of the even language and according to the dogmas which I read we translated about 30 % of the even language complex sentences and numbers could not be recognized oh man so they got the idiot yeah even though they all have really high they all have really high IQs except for the mechanic who apparently got a concussion when they crashed totally forgot all language yes no no he had 30 % of it You
gotta love that. And that is one of the parts of the story I love, that they're all geniuses, except they don't understand English. Like, no way of understanding it. Except for, like, in most things. Except for when they can. EB1 assisted as long as he was alive, but once he died, then we were on our own. We sent several messages over a six -month period, but we did not receive any messages. We fine -tuned our efforts over the next 18 months and finally sent two messages
in 55 to receive double our pie. We were able to translate about 30 % of the message due to that idiot mechanic. Sorry, I had to add that part. We turned to several linguist specialists with - Why are they only now turning to the linguists? Oh god. We turned to several linguist specialists from several US universities, even several from foreign universities. Finally, we were able to translate most of the messages. We decided to reply in English and see if the evens could translate
our language easier than we could theirs. Approximately four months later, we received a reply in broken English. Sentences contained nouns, adjectives, but no verbs. It took us several months to translate the messages, and then we sent Even our typed English lessons. Six months later, we received another English message. This time it was clearer, but not clear enough. Evens were confusing several different English words and still failed to complete a proper sentence. They're judging them based
on this? Not only that, they said they could
- Because we won't even try their language. But it said we figured - it out but we figured it out finally we were able to translate most of their messages but we were cited to reply in english but isn't that a weird way to reply like or make note of which is the whole serpo papers like they replied and no what was it no verbs yeah they replied with no whatever it is yeah like that doesn't that make sense to you i don't think it makes sense to me that they're just
not replying with one very specific part of speech and that specific part of speech is very important to being able to convey any material you can't convey information without an action like that's just like such a fundamental part of communication that we can't even do a sentence without No. Actions, yeah. Because actions would be universal, you would think. Yeah, it would be like Fluffy Kitty something. Kitty tower. I don't know. That's it. You wouldn't even get that they were talking,
really. No. And it's obviously part of their speech because they wanted to have an exchange program. So it's a part of their speech. Why wouldn't they be able to grasp that part, even if they were just like trying to shoot the other link? It's just one of the dear parts of the story. They're just like, yeah. English seems really stupid, we're not gonna learn it. We're
too smart for you idiots. It seems like a stupid detail to put in there for somebody who's putting too much detail into something that they're making up. Just like all the servo stuff. But we were able to provide the basic skill level for them to communicate in English. In one message they provided us with a form of the even alphabet with the equivalent English letters. Our linguist specialist had a very difficult time figuring this out. That doesn't seem hard to figure out.
it doesn't because they gave the translation they gave the literal translation written even language was simple characters and symbols but our linguist specialist had an extremely difficult time comparing the two written languages over the next five years we were able to perfect our understanding of the even language in brackets somewhat we're all mechanics Even our smartest linguists are mechanics. And the evens were able
to better understand English. However, we had a major problem trying to coordinate a date, time, and location for an even landing on Earth. Even though we could basically understand some even and the evens could understand some English, we could not understand their time and date system, and they could not understand ours. Well, that makes sense. We sent them our Earth rotation schedule, revolution, date system, et cetera. For some reason, the evens never understood this.
Can I just get this straight? Basically just texting back and forth and based on like a hey, how are you doing? They're expecting to like learn a whole other thing Or are they actually like speaking with each other to try and teach the language? Well, you got to remember that I think serpos like 33 light -years away This
is not like a meat. Sorry They haven't actually explained the time difference between the two now that I'm thinking about it in theory It should take like 33 years to get communications But it doesn't seem to be taking that time at all. It's like a text message right now. It seems like a detail somebody didn't think of. But to me, the way I'm interpreting this is they're just like, hey, we want to have an exchange program. And based on that, they're just, let's see if
they respond to us in English. And they're like, they'll just learn English based on this text message. And we easily learn Serpo. Serponese. We're not gonna use it. It seems stupid. Yeah, based on, like, it just seems like one message, and they're like, they'll get it, and then they respond without verbs, and they're like, these idiots clearly don't understand English. They're clearly all mechanics over there. It seems like they've just sent one test. Also, how did they
know he's a mechanic? He didn't speak English. That's a fairly complicated word for him to know in the 30 % of the language he knew. Again, just seem - In return, the evens sent us their system, which was difficult for our scientists to understand because we had no reference to their planet. The evens did not explain any astronomical data of Serpo or their system. We then decided to just send pictures showing Earth landmarks in
a simple numbering system for time periods. The evens sent back a message indicating they would return to Earth on a particular number date and location that we chose. The date was April 24th, 1964 and the location was the southern sector of a White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. Which, they're having trouble understanding, like, astronomical coordinates, but they can tell April 24th, 1964? Yeah. Obviously, you figured it out in time. Now our government officials met in secret to
plan the event. Decisions were made, then changed, and then changed again. We had just about 25 months to plan for the event. Special teams, mostly military, were formed to plan the event. Several months into the planning process, President Kennedy decided to approve a plan to exchange a special military team. The United States Air Force was tasked as the lead agency. The Air Force officials picked special civilian scientists
to assist in planning and crew selection. The team member selection process was the hardest to accomplish. Several plans were suggested in the makeup of the team. It took several months for the planners to decide on criteria for each team member. They decided that each team member must be military. They must be single with no children. They must be a career military over four years of service. They must have special skills. It just has special skills. I'm glad
they agreed. I'm just like really good at cat's cradle. This guy's double jointed. This guy can do a backflip. This guy's really good at hula hooping. And what's the 50s? They must have cross -trained skills, meaning that they must have more than one specialty. They must be entirely sheep -dipped and cleared of any identification problems that would haunt them while on the trip. I don't know, but it's in quotation marks. One suggestion was to list all members as being dead.
This was thrown out around until it was decided each team member selected would be listed as missing on the official records and discharged on the unofficial records. That way, all connections between the team and their individual surface was covered. I gotta share my screen. Did you google sheep dick? And while there was a more fitting answer, I'm showing you the other one. Oh no, is this where they get rid of pests on them by dipping them in this liquid? I don't
fucking know. Yep, they're getting rid of the
pests on the sheep. but hold on there was a more fitting answer practice within the intelligent community of assisting to agents non -intelligence or military jobs in order to disguise their source agency okay so they they couldn't know each other's background i guess i guess i think it comes up later that that's basically what it was right underneath there's the actual sheep getting dipped again okay it's weird that they would try to hide the identity of everybody when they're going
to be together for 10 years. How is that going to work and you have no coverage for it? That's true and you're going to be sharing things when you know you have no family, no anything. Inherently you have to, yes. Yeah, like it's a human thing. And the thing that I find funny about this is with the Serpo papers, there's so many obscure details that are given without any actual like
it doesn't make sense. And I remember a lot of somewhat of an understanding of how the military works, but like vaguely just like used as a credence
and not actually within the story. seems like actual military lingo like who else would know a word like sheep dipping just sprinkled within which i believe we saw last time but we saw a lot of contradictory things a lot of things that don't even make sense like what we were just talking about they learned the entire english language with like one message but they also can't ever learn english Like, that's over 10 years of knowing them, they don't learn English.
And again, that's the contradictory thing, and then you see a whole bunch of, like, weird military things thrown in. But I'm getting carried away again, because it's the circle papers. Every single record on each team member selected was purged, including their social security records, internal revenue tax returns, medical records, military records, and any other identification records were either destroyed or collected and
placed in a special storage location. Originally, about 56 ,000 files were screened for possible selectees. The screening process finally got down to 12. These were the best of the best. During training, which lasted roughly six months, there were 16 going through training. The four were replacements just in case. one of the originals was injured or released for some other reason. That's a weird way, Chelsea, I just wanna say.
They said they were gonna list these people as first as dead, and then they said no, let's list
them as missing. and then they're gonna destroy every record of this person existing is that it's another that seems like a terrible way to do that because if somebody's missing somebody might actually look into them and then find it really weird that they don't seem to exist they only said that they couldn't have children they didn't say that they couldn't have families so that doesn't yeah not make sense to that they're assuming nobody's gonna be looking for them and
especially oh they're missing oh okay i'm just gonna stop looking Whereas if you actually list them as deceased, maybe, yeah, they'll actually stop looking for them. Yeah, like your brother or sister or whatever goes missing, and then you're like, oh, there's no record of them ever being alive. Well then, I guess I was the greasy one. Yeah. Oh, well. I guess that answers that. Team Training Each team member selected was sent to a special facility located at Camp Perry,
Virginia. This was an intelligence training location. We took over a complex inside Perry. Most of the training took place there, but some special training was accomplished at Shepherd Air Force Base, Wichita Falls, Texas, Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota, Dow Air Force Base, Maine, and isolated locations in Mexico and Chile. Why? I didn't know about those last ones. The training lasted for 167 days. The team was allowed about 15 days off during this time period, but they
were closely guarded. Just prior to their trip, each team member was transported to the United States Disciplinary Barracks, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and confined in locked cells. This prevented them from communicating with anyone from the outside world and kept each under close watch. Why would you give them 15 days off if you're just gonna put them in jail before they leave?
Yeah. just do it now is this the overseer of it i can't remember who's writing this they don't say they're no it's anonymous that's the whole thing about this one he certainly knows a lot about everything like every single move of this program though including what happens on the planet yeah Yeah, including things that probably not any one person would know things about. Yeah. Like everything, every single detail. Change
of plans. We received a message from the Ibans stating they did not wish to make the exchange during their initial visit to Earth. They wanted to first meet and then plan the exchange in person. This created many problems since our team was ready for the exchange. We sent a return message, but we did not receive a reply. That actually is very logical from the Ibans. They were gonna get catfished on that first date right there.
Oh, they sure were. The landing. In December of 63, they even sent a message confirming the time, date, and location of their landing. The message stated that two crafts were en route to Earth and would make the appropriate landing at the pre -arranged location. Note, during this time period, our government was suffering from the loss of President Kennedy. Some on the project wanted to cancel the exchange because of his
death. President Johnson was briefed and decided to continue the event, although it was noted that Johnson didn't really believe it would happen. Fair enough, President Johnson. Our team planned for two locations, one cover location at Holloman Air Force Base near Ala Magordo, New Mexico, and the other, which would be the actual landing location, was west of Holloman near the southern entrance to White Sands Army Post. The first Eben's craft entered our atmosphere during the
afternoon of April 24, 64. The Eben craft landed at the wrong location near Socorro, New Mexico. Our team was in place at White Sands. We were able to communicate a message to the Eben craft that they landed at the wrong location. The second Eben craft picked up the message in line at the correct location. Meeting. The even craft landed exactly at the location we sent. There were 16 senior US government officials on the ground. Some were political and some were senior officials,
including military officers. The evens exited their craft and walked under a pre -located canopy. The evens gave gifts of their technology. The evens had a crude translator device. It appeared to be some sort of microphone with a readout screen. Why the hell would they need to bring that? We've already figured it out. Yeah, they already figured it out by the text messages that we were... sending one or two that said ASL. The C -2 US officials were given one of the devices
that Eben kept the other one. The officials spoke into the device and the screen showed a print form of the voice message, both in Eben and English. It was crude and hard to understand, everything that was said. The exact transcript of the meeting won't be discussed at this time. The Eben's decided to make the exchange, but not until the following year. July of 65 was set and the location decided upon was the Nevada test site. Planners did not wish to keep the same location for fear that
something might leak. The team members were kept at Fort Levin until May of 64. They were transported to Camp Perry. The team was isolated for the next six months, going over the same training they received, fine -tuning their individual skills and learning some newer skills. This gave the team an opportunity to better understand the even language. Although most team members had difficulty learning the language, the two linguists on the team were able to hone their
language skills. In April of 65, the team was transported to Fort Leavenworth and confined until July of 65, when they were transported to Nevada. During the exchange, only a select few officials were present other than the preparation crew for the exchange team. The evencraft landed and our team was placed on board. That's the end of that one. It seems like they spent like three months in jail at the end of their time on Earth. What did they tell their actual families
as they were going? They didn't because they're missing. But they also got 15 days leave during that first six month period and then they didn't talk at all about leave on that second six month period. Somebody's really bad at storytelling. And just so we're on the same page. 165 days is not six months. Six months would be about 184 days, so it's like almost exactly five months. I guess you could add those 15 days, but it said it was included in that period. But again, Richard
Doty said he's not good at math. I still love that the evens poop like that. They are great poopers. Okay, we'll move on to the next one. This was the ninth posting by Anonymous on November 30th, 2005. Each team member had to endure extreme psychological and physical training. In one training test, each team member was locked inside a five by seven box, buried seven feet underground for five days, with just food and water, no contact with anyone else, and in total darkness. This
tested several factors. That's a list of factors. Oh my God. So these people were actually kidnapped and wiped off the face of the earth to be tortured? Yeah. Okay. I just want to emphasize this tested several factors. That is the whole sentence. And then the next paragraph begins after that that says each team member also took a pill with them. We don't know what factors that tested, but it was several. Several of them. Of course.
It would. It would. It sure would. How much poop they could make in a box over a seven day period. For one. That's one factor. Oh dear god. Each team member also took a pill with them. Pill is in quotation marks for some reason. The pill was standard issue for intelligence agents operating behind enemy lines. The pill could end their life if, for some reason, the events turned out
to be hostile. Okay. Several selected members, brackets pilots, were trained on flying an Eben craft, one of which was the one captured near western New Mexico in 49. The plan called for the select few to fly the craft back to Earth in case of an emergency. There were four pilots on the team. These four spent many weeks at the Nevada Complex learning to fly the recovered Eben alien craft. It wasn't hard to fly, once one could understand the operation of the controls.
I'm sure many of the UFO sightings back in 6465 around the West could be attributed to these test flights by our team members. Selected team members carried small containers of liquid nitrogen. Ebens were vulnerable to extreme cold. In case the Ebens turned hostile, the liquid nitrogen could be used to neutralize Ebens during an escape attempt. The team members were instructed to spray the substance directly into the face of an E -bend. EB1 was found to be vulnerable to
this. Oh man. I really don't like the thought that they just sprayed EB1, just this idiot mechanic that didn't even know English, in the face with liquid nitrogen several times just to make sure he was vulnerable to it. And it wasn't just a one -off. He wasn't just like having a allergic reaction or something. They probably asked him to translate something. He's like, I don't fucking know. I'm an idiot. And then they sprayed him
in the face while he was looking at it. As for the liquid nitrogen matter, the liquid nitrogen was placed in a special container. Just like we do today. The briefing document doesn't state the type of container. Just that each member had a small container. And this pillow that'll kill him. It takes some months to get to Thurpo. So like this had to keep liquid nitrogen safe
and stable for months. and that would be like for the one -off chance like immediately upon their arrival they needed to escape the funny thing is they're just like right away without knowing who these people are they're just like yep let's have an exchange program also let's psychologically traumatize the people we're gonna send there and give them suicide options and options also harm anyone around them Really good
options to harm anyone around. Let's fuck them up and give them PTSD and then unleash them onto another society. Of the time of them training and waiting to go, like 40 % of it is spent in isolation or in a box underground. It probably wouldn't go good, actually, as these papers suggest when they go out there. They're like playing baseball, pooping a lot. and sometimes so little. It just seems like something that wouldn't actually be done if they were, you know, had so much psychological
damage prior to training to leave Earth. They might be a whole lot of fucked up in there. However, during the return debriefing, the team found the Evians to be so docile, each team member quickly discarded these bottles of liquid nitrogen when they arrived on Serpo. The Evian realized the team had the substance, but never questioned the reason for bringing it. As with weapons,
each team member had a handgun and rifle. The Evians realized these were weapons, but again never questioned why the team members were bringing them along. But each team member never carried the weapon except during the exploration of Serpo, and then only certain team members carried them. That's the end of posting nine. You think it'd be weird seeing them, like, just pour out this
liquid that does this stuff to the ground? If they were to just pour it out, though, wouldn't it still have, like, you know how you cut onions real close to you? It makes your rice water. Would it not? No, it wouldn't freeze the things right around it. If you've ever seen people use liquid nitrogen, you can get pretty close to it without feeling its effects. And I don't think they poured it out in, like, say, an Eevee's
face. Yeah. I find it funny that that's what they brought, not like bear spray or something. Yeah! It would be liquid nitrogen. They found that most effective against EB1, which maybe this is why he only knows 30 % of the language. It could only be liquid nitrogen, and you guys get a suicide pill. The thing that can't be stable for more than a year in a bottle. It's gonna be tight, but... just in case you get off the aircraft and we realize you get those bad vibes.
or you know that anxiety is overwhelming not being in a confined space for more than a day but i think this is where i'm gonna end it off i think we've been going about an hour so i think this is a good spot to end because the next one's looking fairly long yeah i think this is a fun thing to return to every now and then because these are just these are beautiful it is beautiful it couldn't have been better if david wilcox was narrating it Can I just read? Did we read
part of a blog from Serpo .org? No, I didn't read any of them. Are they very fake? Can we just end off with some poetry here? From Serpil to Innisfil, intergalactic relocation secrets unveiled. It does seem like they're picking up on the vibes of Serpil. And this one seems to be written by a Walker Jeff. Walker Jeff, gather round youngsters and let this old timer spin you a yarn that'll make your head spin faster than a UFO doing loop -de -loops over Area 51.
It's a tale of cosmic proportions spanning from the far reaches of space to the serene shores of Lake So, grab yourself a cup of joe, settle in, and prepare for a journey that'll take you from the mysterious planet Serpo to the charming town of Innisfil, Canada. The Serpo Saga, a cosmic
exchange program. Now, back in my day, we didn't have fancy smartphones or internet doohickeys, but we did have secrets, big ones, and none were bigger than the hush -hush exchange program that sent 12 brave US military personnel to a planet called Serpo in the Zeta Reticuli star system. This wasn't no ordinary field trip, mind you. It was a top -secret mission that lasted from 1965 to 1978, longer than some folks' marriages.
These courageous souls embarked on a journey that would make Neil Armstrong's moonwalk look like a stroll in the park. They packed their bags, said goodbye to Earth, and hopped aboard an alien spacecraft faster than you can say, beam me up Scotty, for 13 long years. These intrepid explorers live among the even aliens, learning their ways, studying their technology, and probably trying to figure out how to use an extraterrestrial toilet. Now, I know what you're thinking. Gramps,
have you finally lost your marbles? But let me tell you, the story's got more layers than your great aunt Mildred's seven -layer dip. The circle exchange program has been the subject of heated debates, whispered conversations, and enough conspiracy theories to fill a library. So you might be wondering what What in tarnation does this interstellar hellabaloo have to do with Innisfil Canada? Well, hold on to your hat because I'm about to connect the dots faster than you
can say alien abduction. You see, after spending more than a decade on a distant planet, those brave souls who returned from Serpo had a hankering for something different. They'd seen the stars up close, walked on alien soil, and probably tasted some mighty peculiar space food, but now they yearned for a place that combined the best of both worlds. The excitement of a new frontier with the comforts of home. And that's where Innisfil comes in, like a shining beacon of hope in the
vast Canadian landscape. This charming town nestled along the western shore of Lake Simcoe offers a slice of paradise that's out of this world, but not too far out. It goes on and on. It is really long. It goes on. It's definitely AI. Oh, yeah. Listen to this one. The cosmic terrestrial balance. Why Innisfil feels like home. Number one, natural beauty. Number two, peace and quiet. Number three, community spirit. Number four, room to grow. Number five, modern amenities.
And it goes on and on from there. And it even has a link to Innisfil real estate. Huh. I'm just looking, this is like an hour and a half outside of Toronto. gives me a feel like it's a bot that just looks for websites that are expired. Interesting. But the weird thing about it is that it kind of has an idea about what Serpo is. And it's trying to make money off it, too. This is definitely AI. Definitely. Oh, yeah. Like the fact that it's trying to be an old person,
but hip in its writing style. Yeah, like it's so weird. But I just thought that I read a little bit of that because that's fucking weird. That is great. We will include a few of those in the next one too. I don't know which is better, the AI stuff or the actual Serpo papers. I think both are equally good. Because the Serpo papers are definitely not AI. They're definitely Richard Doty. Who definitely is not an AI. He is a very real individual. Yes, and he sucks at telling
stories. In any event, I have been Taylor, here with Chelsea. We are Journey to the Fringe. Thank you all for listening and we'll see you next week. Bye.
