Summary

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle and Cam announce the release of their brand-new book, Glimmer Man: Cloaked Beings That Move Among Us — and take you deep into the mystery that inspired it.

What would you do if you came face to face with something that shouldn’t exist? In this chilling installment, the guys explore multiple eyewitness encounters involving a bizarre, translucent, human-shaped entity often called the “Glimmer Man.” From darkened bedrooms to remote wilderness trails, from quiet apartment balconies to isolated hunting grounds, the descriptions are strikingly consistent. Witnesses report a tall humanoid figure that appears to bend light around itself — shimmering like heat waves rising off hot pavement — moving with impossible speed, agility, and near-total silence.

Spanning decades and reported across North America and even parts of Europe, the pattern is hard to ignore. Those who’ve seen it describe a being that is:

Completely transparent, yet visibly distorted
Cloaked like a ripple in reality
Able to climb and leap between trees without making a sound
Associated with missing time, sudden disorientation, or an eerie silence in the environment
Occasionally seen with glowing yellow or red eyes
Seemingly intelligent… aware… and watching

Is it a spirit? An interdimensional entity? Advanced extraterrestrial technology? Or something far older that has always moved just beyond the edge of our perception?

What is it — and what does it want?

All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives.
