Unexplained History

Did you know that Nazis helped build NASA? In this immersive episode of Unexplained History, we peel back the paperclips to reveal a moral labyrinth that changed the course of human progress. We step into the quiet reading rooms of the National Archives to uncover a 1946 State Department memorandum that served as a gateway for over 1,000 German scientists to enter the U.S.—men like Wernher von Braun and Arthur Rudolph.

Explore the haunting corridors of the Mittelwerk underground factory, where V2 rockets were forged through the brutal forced labor of tens of thousands. We investigate the "Dossier Machine," where security reports were allegedly revised to soften Nazi affiliations in favor of technical talent. Join us as we navigate the post-war haste where alliances shifted, knowledge became the ultimate prize, and the lines between necessity and complicity blurred.

Could a passenger from a non-existent country or a stock trader from the year 2256 be proof of glitches in our reality?

In this episode of Unexplained History, host Tom McKenzie investigates the most baffling unexplained time travel cases on record.

We begin in 1954 Tokyo with the "Man from Taured," a traveler whose passport baffled customs officials. From there, we unravel the digital legend of John Titor, the soldier from 2036 whose warnings about civil war and search for an IBM 5100 captivated the early internet.

Our investigation into the unexplained continues with:
Andrew Carlssin: The man who allegedly turned $800 into $350 million, claiming knowledge from the future.
Rudolph Fentz: The Victorian-era man who materialized—and died—in 1950s Times Square.
The Bralorne Time Traveler: A 1940s photo of a man in modern sunglasses that challenges our view of history.
Join us as we analyze these unexplained history mysteries to determine if they are elaborate hoaxes or genuine fractures in time.

Beneath our feet, entire worlds exist in silence. From the Raven Rock Mountain Complex in Pennsylvania to the vast, hollowed-out caverns of Mount Weather, governments have spent decades building massive underground fortresses. Officially, they are for "continuity of government" in the event of nuclear war. But the sheer scale, secrecy, and specific locations of these bunkers have fueled decades of speculation.

In this episode of Unexplained History, host Tom McKenzie descends into the classified world of subterranean bases. We investigate the confirmed existence of deep underground military bases (DUMBs), the chilling "Project Greek Island" that hid a bunker under a luxury resort for 30 years, and the persistent rumors of high-speed underground transit systems connecting them. Are these just Cold War relics, or are they preparing for a future catastrophe we haven't been told about?

In Brittany, France, thousands of massive standing stones stretch across the landscape like a frozen army. They form the Carnac Alignments—the largest megalithic site in the world, predating Stonehenge and the Pyramids. Who built them? Why were they arranged in such precise, geometric lines? And why did they stop?

In this episode of Unexplained History, host Tom McKenzie investigates the enigma of Carnac. We explore the ancient engineering required to move these multi-ton giants, the folklore that claims they are petrified Roman soldiers, and the modern scientific theories suggesting they were a sophisticated Neolithic observatory or a seismic detector. From the local legends of "Saint Cornely" to the controversial restorations that may have altered the site forever, we uncover the secrets of a landscape that refuses to be explained.
