In the first half, ancient astronaut theorist, author, and researcher Jason Martell explored the celestial alignments of ancient sites and their connections to legends of gods on Earth. "We see a repeating pattern of Sirius, Orion, and Pleiades as markers that these ancient monuments point to," he noted. For instance, the pyramids of Giza align with the constellation Orion, suggesting that they were built with astronomical precision thousands of years ago, which raises questions about the knowledge and capabilities of ancient civilizations.
The conversation also touched on the enigmatic "Cyclopean" architecture found in places like Puma Punku and Machu Picchu. Martel explained, "The stones have been fit together so tightly that there's no filament or mortar," prompting speculation about the construction methods used. "Maybe they had giants," he mused, referencing the biblical accounts of large beings.
Highlighting the advanced technologies used by ancient civilizations and their connections to potential extraterrestrial influences, Martell noted, "a lot of these ancient sites seem to be geodetically connected across the globe," forming what are known as ley lines. He suggested that these sites might have harnessed a "piezoelectric effect," creating an upwelling of electromagnetic energy, possibly linked to a "lost technology" that facilitated communication across ancient cultures.

In the latter half, we held a special edition of Open Lines to celebrate George Noory's birthday. The first caller was Martha from Rock Hill, South Carolina. She phoned in to wish George a happy birthday and shared memories of her late husband, Barry, who was a beloved caller to the show. Reflecting on her nearly 20 years together with Barry, she expressed gratitude for the support from the show and listeners. Regular callers Cornelius from Louisiana, Mike the "Millennial" from Denver, and Mayette from New York City also offered their birthday wishes and praised George for his inclusive approach and community building through the show.
John from Wisconsin expressed appreciation for George's treating everyone with respect, regardless of their background, and compared him to broadcasting legends. Andrea, also from Wisconsin, requested a show on "targeted individuals," sharing her own troubling experiences with community stalking and feeling targeted by local authorities. Sean from Washington State made a humorous attempt to sing the 'Happy Birthday' song in the style of Marilyn Monroe and discussed his past hardships, including a serious back injury from falling off a ladder. In closing, George revealed one of his secrets of broadcasting: when he's on the microphone, he visualizes speaking to just one person rather than a vast audience.
