HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos laid the essential groundwork for 20th-century alternative history and ancient astronaut theories. His work directly influenced seminal texts like The Morning of the Magicians and the later success of Erich von Däniken and the History Channel's Ancient Aliens. While often dismissed as a "hack" author in the United States, literary figures like Joyce Carol Oates and various European scholars recognize his role in voicing cosmic fears.

The Paradigm Symposium is scheduled for October 17th through 20th in Minneapolis, featuring a variety of researchers from the alternative history and archaeology fields. Confirmed speakers include Giorgio Tsoukalos, Robert Baval, Scott Walter of America Unearthed, and L.A. Marzulli.

Following the interview, the hosts contrast Paul Kimball's "I don't know" approach with the definitive "it's aliens" stance of figures like Giorgio Tsoukalos. They praise Kimball's philosophy that the paranormal is intended to make individuals ask their own questions. The segment also touches on the personal nature of synchronicities and how they often fail to translate to others.

A theory popularized by Giorgio Tsoukalos suggests that Atlantis was not a sinking island but a massive spacecraft or "ship" capable of moving through air and water. This idea is linked to the god Enki (Poseidon), who is associated with the ocean and genetic engineering. Edgar Cayce’s readings regarding genetic work in Atlantis further support the connection between the lost city and the creator gods.
