Alien and UFO Encounters

Something was laid to rest in a small town cemetery in Aurora, Texas. In 1897, an “airship” collided with Judge Proctors’ windmill, exploding and throwing shards of molten Aluminum and Iron all across his property. A small, humanoid creature was pulled from the wreckage. Some say the body of the alien is still there, buried in the town cemetery.

Unsolved Mystery

When 9 hikers went missing in the winter of 1959, a search team was dispatched to the Ural Mountains. What they found baffled them. A tattered tent, and 9 bodies in various locations up to a mile away. What happened to these people? Some speculate UFO’s, others the Yeti. In part 2 Jason's power goes out and I try podcasting alone. I wrap up the story from part 1 and then dive into the theories surrounding the death of these hikers.
