Fortean Winds

RamX

An exploration of the UAP - UFO phenomenon and the associated "high strangeness" which accompanies it from the standpoint of analysts and researchers. Fortean Winds is a collective of data and research professionals who began a project in 2020 to better understand the UFO/UAP phenomenon from the perspective of existing research and evidence. After a few years study and note taking (which you can see at our website https://www.forteanwinds.com) , we're ready to discuss our notes and insights involving the UFO phenomenon.

As World War II erupts across Europe, the occult undercurrents seeded in Nazi ideology begin to manifest in darker, more structured forms. In this episode, we follow the secret arcane projects that evolved behind SS walls — from Himmler’s ritual fortress at Wewelsburg to the shadowy halls of the Ahnenerbe.

Follow along with the timeline of key names, dates and events of Fortean Phenomenon from Wold War 2 we put togther especially for this episode.

We explore how figures like Karl Maria Wiligut and Wilhelm Wulff helped shape a parallel world of runic rituals, mysticism, and astrology that quietly guided Nazi policy even as the regime publicly suppressed it.

At the same time, strange aerial phenomena begin to haunt the skies. Allied and Axis pilots alike report luminous orbs — the infamous Foo Fighters — while rumors swirl of exotic Nazi technology like Die Glocke. We delve into the mystery of SS General Hans Kammler’s disappearance, the eerie silence surrounding the Riese complex, and the fine line between esoteric science and Fortean myth.

This is not ancient myth. These are the fragments of a real and unsettling parallel history — where ideology, mysticism, and unexplainable phenomena collided in the crucible of the Second World War.

As the Third Reich crumbled, its strangest ideas didn’t vanish — they mutated. In this episode, we follow the fallout of Nazi occult science, from the bizarre SS witch archive known as Project Hexen to the Soviet psi programs it helped inspire.

We reveal how Nazi brainwashing techniques and esoteric warfare doctrines laid the groundwork for Cold War psychic experiments like MK-Ultra and Stargate. Then we return to the shadows of Der Riese, tracing the vanished trail of Hans Kammler — the SS general who oversaw Hitler's most secret weapons programs — and the myths of Die Glocke, a device said to defy gravity and reality itself.

Some projects ended in 1945. Others were simply hushed up...

In this episode, Fortean Winds begins a multi-part exploration of an esoteric current that predates the Third Reich, shaped the worldview of key Nazi figures, and may still be influencing modern systems of belief, power, and perception today.

We trace the "occult thread" from the mystical teachings of Helena Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society, through the racialized myth-making of Guido von List and Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels, into the heart of Nazi ideology—particularly its grip on Heinrich Himmler and the SS. Along the way, we look at the Thule Society, the Ahnenerbe, and why Hitler—though perhaps skeptical—couldn’t escape the esoteric storm swirling around him.

Is there a system of symbolic control, ancient myth, and psychological manipulation at work—one that's bigger than any single regime?

Join RamX, Bones and the Fortean Winds team as we open this investigation into the hidden currents beneath modern history.

We discuss the infamous Mothman made famous by John Keel. Based off our Mothman article. We hypothesize Mothman is really just a regionalized name for a series of winged humanoid sightings that stretch back as far as we can see....oh and they often happen around UFOs.

We discuss the strange facet of the UFO phenomenon in which paranormal or anomalous events seem to follow witnesses to a UFO sighting. It's very similar to stories of picking up evil spirits and demons from haunted places. We dive into some of the more strange cases of these occurrences at Skinwalker Ranch and their possible connections to the phenomenon.

We complete our trilogy on the origins of the phenomenon with a discussion of the Interdimensional or "Ultraterrestrial" Hypothesis. Naturally, we discuss Vallee and Keel and where we can go next with the discovery of this phenomenon's origin. Yet, we have to address the situation in Peru and Brazil where there are reports of violent alien attacks.

We start episode 10 off with a discussion of the recent UAP - UFO hearings and some of the statements made by David Grusch. We then continue down the path of discussing the theories about where UAP come from, by exploring the idea that the UFO phenomenon comes from planet Earth. This theory most often referred to as Crypto-terrestrials was popularized by author Mac Tonnies. We found a number of trends in the Fortean Winds cases which make this theory really interesting to us...

In Episode 33 of Fortean Winds, we dive into three of the most controversial and compelling UAP and paranormal stories of 2025:

🛸 The Buga Sphere — Discovered in Colombia after reportedly flying over the town, this seamless metallic orb has sparked fierce debate. Is it alien tech or a high-concept art project? We examine the evidence and expert opinions.

🧬 Nazca Mummies Update — From “alien dolls” made of animal bones to metallic implants and DNA anomalies, new developments from 2024–2025 keep this Peruvian mystery alive. Are they elaborate hoaxes, misunderstood relics, or something truly otherworldly?

🎙️ Immaculate Whistleblower — Matthew Brown breaks his silence in the explosive “Immaculate Constellation” series. With claims of UAP encounters, hidden visual data, and government secrecy, his testimony is shaking the disclosure movement.

From government whistleblowers to strange spheres and the never-ending Nazca saga, this episode dissects what’s real, what’s hype, and what we still don’t know.

And some wild Greer claims captured in a Reddit post:
