  • After the Encounter: How Do You Return to an Ordinary Life?

    After the Encounter: How Do You Return to an Ordinary Life?
    Oct 9 2026

    What happens after a reported UFO encounter—when the questions stop, the reporters leave, and you still have a life to live?

    In this cinematic episode of Unknown Origin, Bill follows Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker beyond the 1973 Pascagoula account, then turns to Betty and Barney Hill. Work, relationships, public attention, memory, and the decision to speak become part of a story that lasts much longer than one extraordinary night.

    These are reported encounters, explored through early records and later recollections. The film distinguishes testimony, interpretation, and what can be established independently.

    Subscribe for immersive stories about UFOs, UAP, and the bigger questions they leave us with. What would be hardest to return to after an experience you couldn't explain?

  • USOs and Underwater UFOs: Something Under the Water

    USOs and Underwater UFOs: Something Under the Water
    Oct 4 2026

    USOs, underwater UFOs, and the ocean encounters that leave us standing over a mystery. In Something Under the Water, Bill Van Nort follows the Shag Harbour search, strange luminous seas, Navy UAP testimony, and the limits of what we can see beneath the surface.

    From the 1967 Canadian records to David Fravor's account, Alexandro Wiggins's testimony, Aguadilla's disputed interpretation, the Bloop, hydrothermal vents, and the hidden oceans of Enceladus and Europa: these stories do not all have the same explanation. Reported encounters, natural phenomena, scientific discoveries, and hypothetical scenes are clearly distinguished. None establishes extraterrestrial vehicles in Earth's oceans.

    Which would change your mind more: an eyewitness account, continuous recordings from independent instruments, or a physical sample? Tell me why in the comments. Subscribe for more Unknown Origin.

    The Wow! Signal: What If We Only Hear Them Once?
    Oct 3 2026
    The Wow! signal lasted roughly 72 seconds in the record. Was it a natural event, interference—or something we still do not understand? What would it mean to hear another intelligence only once?In this cinematic 4K episode of Unknown Origin, Bill Van Nort follows the 1977 Big Ear observation into the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, a human-designed message transmitted from Mars, and the messages humanity has already sent into space.We explore what 6EQUJ5 actually records, why repeat observations matter, A Sign in Space, the Arecibo message, and Voyager's Golden Record. Then we ask a harder question: recognizing a signal might be only the beginning of understanding its sender.If you could send one image and one sound to an unknown intelligence, what would you choose?

    UFO Encounters: What Do They Want From Us? — Strieber, Lazar & Operation Prato
    Sep 28 2026

    UFO encounters, alleged alien abduction, and the question behind “soul containers.” Explore Whitley Strieber's accounts, Bob Lazar's attributed claims, Dionisio Llanca, and Brazil's Operation Prato-era UAP records with Bill Van Nort.


    What do they want from us? A roadside repair in Argentina. Lights entering homes in Brazil. A face beside a bed. Unknown Origin follows the people inside unsettling alien visitation accounts—and asks what the sources actually establish about unfamiliar intelligence and the possibility of alien life.

  • Would We Recognize Alien Contact? Four Strange UFO Encounters

    Would We Recognize Alien Contact? Four Strange UFO Encounters
    Sep 26 2026

    Would we recognize contact with another intelligence—or spend the rest of our lives describing it with the wrong words?


    In the first episode of the relaunched Unknown Origin, Bill Van Nort follows four strange reported encounters across Italy, New Zealand, Australia, and Finland. Flowers and a stocking in Tuscany. A paddock flooded with green light. A room that other people cannot see. An encounter in the snow with a troubling aftermath.


    These stories open into bigger questions about communication, fear, compassion, faith, and what knowing we are not alone could do to an ordinary human life.


    These are reported experiences, not established encounters with extraterrestrials. We distinguish source records, witness accounts, later investigations, and philosophical speculation. Contains discussion of frightening experiences and reported illness.


    Watch the cinematic 4K edition: https://youtu.be/RVGow2hjBa8


    Which encounter stayed with you—and what would you need to recognize contact? Join the conversation on YouTube or email unknownorigin@epicbmedia.com. Stories, questions, and sponsorship inquiries are welcome.
