The CIA's Hunt for the Ark of the Covenant with Lyn Buchanan and Brent Levy
All Things Unexplained
04/21/25 • 127 min
From UFOs and UAPs to Bigfoot, ancient mysteries, astrophysics, and the paranormal—we cover it all. Welcome to All Things Unexplained.
🛸🎙️ Episode Description:
Could the Ark of the Covenant be more than a sacred artifact? Why did the CIA target it for remote viewing—and what did their psychic spies claim to uncover?
Join us as we explore a recently resurfaced CIA document describing a remote viewing session focused on the Ark. Is this ancient relic merely a symbol—or could it represent lost technology, interdimensional access, or divine power?
🔍 Featuring special guests:
🛸 Lyn Buchanan, former U.S. Army remote viewer and creator of the Controlled Remote Viewing training program.
🛸 Brent Levy, minister and spiritual leader.
We’ll dive into questions like:
- Why was the Ark of the Covenant of interest to U.S. intelligence?
- What did remote viewers actually see?
- Is the Ark lost—or deliberately hidden?

Winter Olympics Trivia: Was that a sport?! Plus, what exactly is the biathlon?
All Things Unexplained
02/04/22 • 14 min
Aliens. UFOs. Bigfoot. Paranormal mysteries --- All Things - Unexplained.
CJ and Smitty battle for gold in Winter Olympic trivia! Hilarity ensues as they ponder whether these events were actually Winter Olympic sports at one time. Plus, what exactly is the biathlon? Get your CJ and Smitty chants ready, because it's time to get Olympic!
****************************************
TRIVIA CREDIT
I am an addicted channel flipper of my custom SiriusXM Radio. Recently, I decided to upgrade my musical knowledge beyond the 80s and early 90s and start listening to some new music. In doing so, I discovered a terrific morning show called The Storme Warren Show on The Highway. I even called in one morning and talked about our shared love of retro video games, specifically Pitfall and Castlevania. Well, shortly before this episode of ATU, they did a terrific game of 'Was That a Sport?!', and I knew it would be a perfect fit for a CJ vs Smitty battle royale. Don't forget, the loser has to visit North Carolina during the Summer of 2022!

THIS EPISODE:
Donna Campbell Smith is author of a dozen books, a freelance writer, and a photographer. She worked in the horse industry for many years, grew up in eastern NC, enjoys nature and the outdoors. Her writing reflects those interests.
Of particular interest to The Unexplained Ones lurks My Neighbors from the Woods:
Maggie lives alone in a small house in the middle of twenty-five acres that butts right up to a national forest. She enjoys her solitude, though she is not a recluse. She socializes with friends and attends the local Presbyterian church at least once a month. She knows most everyone in her area. At least she thought she did, until she met her new neighbors. Maggie isn’t her real name, but for the story’s sake that is what we’ll call her. She can’t say where she lives, other than somewhere in the South―for her own protection as well as theirs’. Her hope is that her neighbors will continue to live in the woods long after she is gone from this world. So, here is her story told in her own words. You may think it is the ravings of a madwoman, but she assures you she is as sane as any one of you reading it.Join CJ and Dr. Mounce for an enthralling chat with this incredible author.
