Hoax Hunters

Some stories are too good to be true. And some lies are too good not to believe.

Hoax Hunters is your daily deep dive into the anatomy of a lie. We track down history's most audacious frauds, forgeries, and fakes—from the lost princess who wasn’t lost, to the petrified giant that captivated a nation, to the Martian invasion that never happened.

Each episode is a forensic investigation into a single, masterful deception. We’ll meet the brilliant con artists, the charismatic cult leaders, and the scientific frauds who managed to fool the world.

But the real mystery isn't how they did it. It's why we fell for it. Using the science of persuasion and the study of human psychology, we expose the mental shortcuts and hidden biases that make all of us vulnerable.

This isn't just about the past. Understanding the blueprint for deception is your best defense against the misinformation of today.

Follow Hoax Hunters to uncover the truth behind the world's most fascinating lies.

The Day the Air Force Lost a NUCLEAR BOMB (And NEVER Found It)
Somewhere off the coast of a popular Georgia beach, buried beneath the sand and sea, lies a 7,600-pound secret the U.S. Air Force would rather you forget: a fully armed nuclear bomb.

This isn't a conspiracy theory; it's a declassified nightmare. In 1958, a mid-air collision forced an Air Force bomber to jettison its payload—a Mark 15 nuclear bomb—into the waters near Tybee Island, Georgia. This is the definitive story of one of America's most chilling "Broken Arrow" incidents. We're diving deep into the official reports and the conflicting testimonies to uncover the truth about that night.

Was it a harmless training device with no nuclear core, as the government initially claimed? Or was it a complete, fully functional weapon with a live plutonium trigger, as the pilot who dropped it later testified? We'll follow the frantic, fruitless search efforts of 1958 and the high-tech hunt in the 2000s, and ask the hard questions the Nuclear Emergency Support Team (NEST) had to face: What is the real risk?

While a nuclear explosion is unlikely, the bomb's conventional explosives could still detonate if disturbed. Join us as we piece together the puzzle of this ultimate piece of lost military hardware, a terrifying relic of the Cold War just waiting to be found.
Subscribe now as we dive into the murky waters of this American unsolved mystery.
