Our First Steps on an Alien Planet - Journey to Planet Serpo | pt 3
AREA52 - DEBRIEFED With Chris Ramsay
October 9, 2026
We're back on Serpo. Tonight I'm reading chapters 10 through 13 of Len Kasten's Secret Journey to Planet Serpo, and this is where the team finally lands. They arrive on an alien planet, set up camp, and start actually living there among the Ebens.

So, I saw this triangular mall UFO back in 2016 in November, I think it was, in a town called Fletcher, in North Carolina, close to Asheville. And there's this, the Blue Ridge Parkway is a big overpass that goes over I-26. And I was on the highway, and the highway is a little bit loud, but I had the windows rolled down, and I could see this craft that was around dusk, and it was triangular, and it was shining its light on the treetops above me. And it wasn't, there was no sound, there was no engine. It was perfectly quiet, and it had a light on each of the triangle points.
And I think it was a red light right in the center.
And I was with a friend of mine in the truck, and we were just hollering. We were like, oh my god, this is one of those things. I later reported it on the National, what is it called, the National USO Reporting Center. Turned out that a lot of folks saw stuff like that.

Just a quick reminder that our episodes do not feature any AI generated imagery, and that the sketches featured in this episode are indeed done by a human artist. You can find their link below in the description. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the Area 52 podcast. My name is Chris Ramsay, and today we're going to be continuing our adventure to the planet Serpo. If you are not currently in the loop, part one and two are available, and if you don't want to watch those, the quick rundown is apparently we've had an exchange program with extraterrestrials after the Roswell crash. We've been in communication with these beings, and we then trained 12 military personnel for several months, and this was approved by the president to exchange an alien and 12 of our humans. We're going to send them off to planet Serpo, somewhere in the vicinity of the Zeta Reticuli star system, 39 light years away, which takes 10 months. Our protagonists have since been very ill during this travel, especially in the time fields, or the time warp sort of wormholes that they must pass through to get there. But now, alas, after this arduous journey, our heroes have now arrived to planet Serpo, and we, for the first time, will have a glimpse into another world, another alien civilization.
Do I believe this book? Not really. Do I not believe it? Not really. I like the idea of acquiring knowledge in any way, shape or form. And I read a lot of science fiction books, but the most stimulating ones are the ones that sort of brush up against my own reality and make me question whether or not these things actually happen, to some extent, perhaps. Maybe there's a seed of truth in here. Maybe we'll find it. Maybe something. But the knowledge that we've acquired over the past few years of this channel that will stick out, that will connect to another fact that we've uncovered and perhaps glean a little bit more on the existence of, you know, the potential existence of these extraterrestrials and our communication with them. So folks, if you are so inclined, I would highly suggest leaving a like, subscribing even, and if I can twist your arm, drop a comment, hit the notification bell, check out the merch shop, check out the Discord, check out the membership, yada, yada, yada.
And one more thing, a quick message from our sponsors. When I'm doing these interviews in the skiff, I'm literally locked in on conversation, and so listening to someone's vulnerable, sometimes very personal experience, isn't the best time to be taking notes for later, but I do want to be able to take notes. And so the Thomas Jane episode is a perfect example of that. So his story was probably one of the most compelling that I've ever heard, and I was so locked in and focused on what he was saying, that later, when I'm editing or researching or building the next investigation, I might need to verify some key facts about his account. And that's why I've been using the Plaud Note Pro as an AI note taker. So not just to capture the conversation, but to turn it into a searchable memory for Area52. This is basically a little archive that I have. With Plaud Note Pro, I can take a long interview or research session and get a clear summary, key moments, transcripts and action items. I'll show you what I mean. So I recorded the whole conversation with Thomas Jane on to my Plaud Note Pro. It then sends it to the Plaud app, which gives me a full searchable transcript, which is amazing in case I need that. But in the notes section, here's what's really cool. I can ask it something like, what are the names of the witnesses that were named during this interview? And just like that, we got Travis Walton, Udo Ortena, Paul Parada. And that's really the value for me. It turns a long conversation into something I can search, review and actually build off of. Plaud protects your data and your data is not being used for AI training. These are available both on the official website and on Amazon. You can click the link below. Thank you to Plaud for sponsoring this video. All right, folks, we paid the bills. I actually forgot to tell you that we paid the bills last episode.
