#409 - "Darker Than Satan" Demonologist on What Demons Actually Are | Nathan Gillis
"Their theory was that a ceremonial magician in another dimension is projecting his consciousness into this dimension, and we're perceiving it as a UFO or a UAP. That is Collins Elite territory."
Gillis stated that General Michael McCasland, who advised the Secret Machines series and worked out of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, explored the theory that UAPs are projections by ceremonial magicians from other dimensions. This theory, associated with the Collins Elite group, suggests craft sightings are consciousness-based manifestations rather than physical vehicles. McCasland recently disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

About this episode

In this wide-ranging three-hour conversation, host Danny Jones interviewed demonologist Nathaniel Gillis about the intersection of paranormal phenomena, UFO encounters, and occult practice. Gillis, who grew up in a haunted house near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, presented evidence suggesting UAPs, hauntings, and demonic encounters are manifestations of a single intelligence using consciousness-based technology to deceive witnesses. The most significant revelation involved declassified remote viewing research showing government operatives projecting their consciousness as visible orbs and apparitions—the same phenomenon reported in both haunted houses and UFO cases. Gillis cited parapsychologist Lloyd Auerbach's 1990s study where witnesses saw a woman in white while cameras captured only balls of light, arguing the phenomenon hijacks human consciousness to create physiological constructs while cameras reveal the true form. He disclosed that General Michael McCasland, who advised the Secret Machines UFO series, explored theories that ceremonial magicians project consciousness across dimensions, manifesting as UAPs—a concept tied to the secretive Collins Elite group. Other explosive claims included government contractor Richard Bandarik's testimony that metamaterials collected from 'gifting fields' dissolved into dust within seconds, suggesting deception rather than technology transfer, and Vatican protocols for isolating demonically-attached objects in remote locations. Gillis argued the phenomenon is precognitive, can induce bilocation in observers, and creates virtual reality scenarios that contaminate witness testimony. The discussion moved through incubus literature, apports as quantum anchors, missing fetus syndrome in abduction cases, and connections between NASA's founders and occult practice. Gillis challenged the compartmentalization of paranormal research, insisting ufology and hauntology study the same intelligence wearing different masks. The episode closed with speculation about non-human biologics, government psyops, and whether reality itself is a construct being manipulated by a parasitic consciousness.
