00:00:05,869 --> 00:00:02,720
hello it's the weekend of Saturday

2
00:00:08,030 --> 00:00:05,879
August 5th and Sunday August 6 you are

3
00:00:10,430 --> 00:00:08,040
listening to inception Radio Network

4
00:00:14,289 --> 00:00:10,440
voice of the fringe majority mrs.

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:17,570
there are no striking changes in your

6
00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:20,130
sky watch sky tonight gentle listeners

7
00:00:26,810 --> 00:00:23,400
but coming Monday August 7th we can look

8
00:00:29,509 --> 00:00:26,820
forward to the sturgeon moon if that

9
00:00:31,189 --> 00:00:29,519
sounds a tad fishy well it's just

10
00:00:33,319 --> 00:00:31,199
another one of those monikers we

11
00:00:36,020 --> 00:00:33,329
attached to various August full moons

12
00:00:39,470 --> 00:00:36,030
there's the Green Corn moon the gray

13
00:00:42,770 --> 00:00:39,480
moon this August moon the full moon a

14
00:00:46,010 --> 00:00:42,780
sturgeon moon falls August 7th at 18 11

15
00:00:48,619 --> 00:00:46,020
UTC to be precise which is during the

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:48,629
daylight hours August 7th for us here in

17
00:00:54,650 --> 00:00:51,210
the United States at United States time

18
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:54,660
zones full moon comes at 111 a.m. on

19
00:01:00,260 --> 00:00:57,930
that date and as usual earth sky org

20
00:01:01,819 --> 00:01:00,270
provides a bunch of graphs and charts so

21
00:01:04,579 --> 00:01:01,829
you can check out what your very own

22
00:01:07,130 --> 00:01:04,589
time for that is although tonight's moon

23
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:07,140
and tomorrow night's moon will look full

24
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:09,840
to the eye for us in the Americas we

25
00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:12,510
won't see that full moon at the instant

26
00:01:17,899 --> 00:01:14,880
it turns full because at that point it's

27
00:01:19,999 --> 00:01:17,909
going to be beneath our horizon in fact

28
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:20,009
you have to be in the world's eastern

29
00:01:25,039 --> 00:01:22,110
hemisphere to see this month's moon when

30
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:25,049
it is precisely full in that part of the

31
00:01:29,390 --> 00:01:27,090
world the full moon will be partially

32
00:01:32,020 --> 00:01:29,400
eclipsed by the Earth's dark shadow and

33
00:01:34,999 --> 00:01:32,030
that's the night of August 7th to 8th

34
00:01:37,999 --> 00:01:35,009
technically speaking the moon is only

35
00:01:41,390 --> 00:01:38,009
full for a fleeting moment when my moon

36
00:01:44,030 --> 00:01:41,400
is 180 degrees from the Sun in ecliptic

37
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:44,040
longitude the worldwide map that you can

38
00:01:48,740 --> 00:01:45,600
find later will show you day and night

39
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:48,750
sides of the world at that instant to

40
00:01:53,060 --> 00:01:50,850
reiterate you have to be on the

41
00:01:55,490 --> 00:01:53,070
nighttime side of the world to see the

42
00:01:57,530 --> 00:01:55,500
moon at the exact instant it turns full

43
00:01:59,660 --> 00:01:57,540
Oh sounds like a road trip

44
00:02:02,600 --> 00:01:59,670
if the moon turns full during the

45
00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:02,610
daylight hours as this August 2017 moon

46
00:02:08,169 --> 00:02:05,729
does in North and South America then the

47
00:02:10,820 --> 00:02:08,179
moon is below your horizon

48
00:02:12,559 --> 00:02:10,830
astronomically speaking those in north

49
00:02:14,090 --> 00:02:12,569
and south america will be watching an

50
00:02:15,860 --> 00:02:14,100
almost full whack

51
00:02:18,770 --> 00:02:15,870
Tsing gibbous moon on the night of

52
00:02:21,050 --> 00:02:18,780
August 6th to the seventh and an almost

53
00:02:24,260 --> 00:02:21,060
full waning gibbous moon on the night of

54
00:02:26,510 --> 00:02:24,270
August 7th to 8th everyone around the

55
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:26,520
world however will see a full looking

56
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:29,010
moon in the east at dusk or nightfall on

57
00:02:35,060 --> 00:02:32,490
August 6th and 7th highest up for the

58
00:02:38,210 --> 00:02:35,070
night around midnight sitting low in the

59
00:02:40,070 --> 00:02:38,220
West at dawn the moon stays more or less

60
00:02:42,290 --> 00:02:40,080
opposite the Sun for the duration of the

61
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:42,300
night after darkness falls for the next

62
00:02:45,380 --> 00:02:44,970
few days in fact so here's the bottom

63
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:45,390
line

64
00:02:49,550 --> 00:02:47,610
although tonight's moon and tomorrow

65
00:02:52,310 --> 00:02:49,560
night's moon will look full to the eye

66
00:02:55,070 --> 00:02:52,320
for us in the Americas we won't see the

67
00:02:59,000 --> 00:02:55,080
moon at the instant it turns full nope

68
00:03:01,580 --> 00:02:59,010
it's below the horizon let's go off the

69
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:01,590
beaten path across a lot of deserts and

70
00:03:07,610 --> 00:03:04,410
whoa look what's ahead of us the Great

71
00:03:10,010 --> 00:03:07,620
Pyramid of Giza here's a headline Great

72
00:03:13,370 --> 00:03:10,020
Pyramid of Giza could be hiding for

73
00:03:16,850 --> 00:03:13,380
thousand-year-old secret this is from

74
00:03:18,590 --> 00:03:16,860
the New York Post be aware that Great

75
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:18,600
Pyramid could be about to give up a

76
00:03:24,110 --> 00:03:20,490
secret that has been hiding for more

77
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:24,120
than 4,000 years experts think they're

78
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:25,710
on the verge of solving a mystery about

79
00:03:31,070 --> 00:03:28,050
this awe-inspiring wonder of the ancient

80
00:03:34,370 --> 00:03:31,080
world scientists believe there is a

81
00:03:36,230 --> 00:03:34,380
hidden recess lurking within the Great

82
00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:36,240
Pyramid and they could be about to

83
00:03:42,050 --> 00:03:38,910
pinpoint exactly where that is also

84
00:03:44,990 --> 00:03:42,060
known as the Khufu pyramid the gigantic

85
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:45,000
structure was completed in around 2560

86
00:03:51,170 --> 00:03:47,730
BC although of course that is not

87
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:51,180
without controversy and stood about 479

88
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:53,910
feet high making it the tallest man-made

89
00:04:00,140 --> 00:03:56,130
structure in the world for more than

90
00:04:03,290 --> 00:04:00,150
3,800 years now a team working on a

91
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:03,300
project called scan pyramids is about to

92
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:05,370
use two techniques known as infrared

93
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:08,250
thermography and mu ography in an

94
00:04:12,740 --> 00:04:10,050
attempt to uncover the secrets of this

95
00:04:14,930 --> 00:04:12,750
hidden chamber thermography is a

96
00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:14,940
scanning technique that detects the heat

97
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:17,910
given off by objects while MU ography

98
00:04:23,540 --> 00:04:20,489
picks up particles called muons that are

99
00:04:26,330 --> 00:04:23,550
produced when cosmic rays smash into the

100
00:04:27,650 --> 00:04:26,340
Earth's atmosphere mu ography was used

101
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:27,660
to find hidden tunnels

102
00:04:32,090 --> 00:04:29,970
inside the bent pyramid which was given

103
00:04:35,180 --> 00:04:32,100
its name due to the wonky shape of its

104
00:04:37,250 --> 00:04:35,190
structure quote all the devices we put

105
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:37,260
in place are designed to find where the

106
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:39,810
cavity is located we know there is one

107
00:04:42,770 --> 00:04:42,330
but we're trying to find out where and

108
00:04:45,230 --> 00:04:42,780
quotes

109
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:45,240
that's from Metis to you be president of

110
00:04:51,950 --> 00:04:48,090
the HIPAA which is heading the scan

111
00:04:54,650 --> 00:04:51,960
pyramids project in the 200 years since

112
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:54,660
Napoleon Bonaparte landed in Egypt with

113
00:04:59,300 --> 00:04:56,610
a retinue of scholars who laid the

114
00:05:02,090 --> 00:04:59,310
groundwork for modern Egyptology in fact

115
00:05:03,530 --> 00:05:02,100
experts have used science to unlock the

116
00:05:06,410 --> 00:05:03,540
secrets of the country's ancient

117
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:06,420
treasures in the 21st century the

118
00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:08,370
scientists have been using electronic

119
00:05:13,130 --> 00:05:10,560
devices and chemical testing to date

120
00:05:15,890 --> 00:05:13,140
artifacts chemical testing still

121
00:05:17,870 --> 00:05:15,900
requires small samples but advanced

122
00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:17,880
techniques coming into use are meant to

123
00:05:22,970 --> 00:05:20,400
be non-invasive so as not to damage

124
00:05:25,130 --> 00:05:22,980
these precious ancient relics the

125
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:25,140
scanned pyramids project is among the

126
00:05:31,490 --> 00:05:27,930
most ambitious of projects to demystify

127
00:05:33,230 --> 00:05:31,500
the Khufu pyramid near Cairo the only

128
00:05:36,050 --> 00:05:33,240
surviving monument from the ancient

129
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:36,060
seven wonders of the world the project

130
00:05:40,460 --> 00:05:38,010
had announced last October that the

131
00:05:43,220 --> 00:05:40,470
massive pyramid may contain undiscovered

132
00:05:46,340 --> 00:05:43,230
recesses it's not clear what these

133
00:05:48,140 --> 00:05:46,350
recesses contain if anything at all but

134
00:05:50,450 --> 00:05:48,150
the technology being used could mean

135
00:05:53,930 --> 00:05:50,460
that archaeologists will soon be peering

136
00:05:56,450 --> 00:05:53,940
inside an ancient Egyptian time capsule

137
00:05:58,280 --> 00:05:56,460
in the not-too-distant future the

138
00:06:00,470 --> 00:05:58,290
results obtained by scanned pyramids

139
00:06:03,620 --> 00:06:00,480
will then be compared with infrared and

140
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:03,630
3d images some archaeologists have

141
00:06:08,210 --> 00:06:05,490
pinned hopes on the sophisticated

142
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:08,220
technology to locate the burial place in

143
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:10,700
fact of the legendary Queen Nefertiti

144
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:14,370
the wife of King Akhenaten who initiated

145
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:17,280
a monotheistic cult in ancient Egypt

146
00:06:20,690 --> 00:06:19,890
Nefertiti remains an enigma best known

147
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:20,700
for a bust

148
00:06:25,730 --> 00:06:22,770
depicting her that's now on exhibition

149
00:06:28,310 --> 00:06:25,740
in Berlin's News Museum a British

150
00:06:30,380 --> 00:06:28,320
Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves believes

151
00:06:32,810 --> 00:06:30,390
her remains were hidden in a secret

152
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:32,820
chamber in the tomb of Tutankhamun in

153
00:06:38,210 --> 00:06:35,970
the southern Valley of the Kings in 2015

154
00:06:39,830 --> 00:06:38,220
archaeologists scanned that tomb with

155
00:06:41,450 --> 00:06:39,840
radar hoping for clues

156
00:06:43,310 --> 00:06:41,460
both Nicholas

157
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:43,320
Reeves theory and the inconclusive

158
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:45,770
results have been dismissed by other

159
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:49,110
Egyptologists and but of course enter

former antiquities Minister is a he

161
00:06:56,660 --> 00:06:54,090
Hawass he said that an adept of the

162
00:06:58,820 --> 00:06:56,670
sun-god a tone would never have been

163
00:06:59,600 --> 00:06:58,830
allowed to be buried in the Valley of

164
00:07:02,350 --> 00:06:59,610
the Kings

165
00:07:04,850 --> 00:07:02,360
well we'll just have to stay tuned

166
00:07:07,010 --> 00:07:04,860
here's why we call it off the beaten

167
00:07:09,830 --> 00:07:07,020
path we're headed towards Southern

168
00:07:12,170 --> 00:07:09,840
California now where we find the

169
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:12,180
headline California neighborhood claims

170
00:07:18,590 --> 00:07:15,710
a chupacabra has been stalking its pets

171
00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:18,600
we picked this up from San Francisco

172
00:07:24,260 --> 00:07:22,080
gate comm if some residents are to be

173
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:24,270
believed the supernatural has been

characteristics that might sound

186
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:02,640
familiar to cryptozoology fans although

187
00:08:07,610 --> 00:08:05,490
a well-established legend the chupacabra

188
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:07,620
only got its name in the mid 90s when

189
00:08:11,150 --> 00:08:09,570
farmers in Puerto Rico reported a

190
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:11,160
creature was killing their livestock

191
00:08:16,820 --> 00:08:14,610
draining it on blood the media soon

192
00:08:20,270 --> 00:08:16,830
dubbed the hairless doglike creature a

193
00:08:23,690 --> 00:08:20,280
chupacabra or goat sucker oh there was

194
00:08:24,980 --> 00:08:23,700
even that famous x-files episode over

195
00:08:27,890 --> 00:08:24,990
the years sightings have been reported

196
00:08:29,860 --> 00:08:27,900
all over the Caribbean and South and

197
00:08:33,050 --> 00:08:29,870
Central America with occasional

198
00:08:35,150 --> 00:08:33,060
chupacabras spotted as far north as the

199
00:08:38,510 --> 00:08:35,160
United States there were some famous

200
00:08:41,420 --> 00:08:38,520
cases in Texas Riverside area Tom

201
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:41,430
Brundage theorized that the chupacabra

202
00:08:48,020 --> 00:08:45,450
he saw migrated from Mexico here's his

203
00:08:51,050 --> 00:08:48,030
quote it has a body like a chihuahua

204
00:08:54,270 --> 00:08:51,060
stretched out with a large thoracic

205
00:08:57,420 --> 00:08:54,280
cavity and it has huge hind leg

206
00:09:00,830 --> 00:08:57,430
and has a very narrow rat-like face with

207
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:00,840
undulation Xin it more like a marsupial

208
00:09:07,620 --> 00:09:04,810
hmm rat like tail this broadcaster is

209
00:09:10,380 --> 00:09:07,630
thinking giant possum oh they don't get

210
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:10,390
that big the real explanation for the

211
00:09:14,910 --> 00:09:12,130
riverside creature is as you might

212
00:09:17,790 --> 00:09:14,920
imagine probably less folkloric in

213
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:17,800
nature hungry coyotes could be coming

214
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:20,290
down into residential areas indeed

215
00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:22,930
looking for small pets to snatch up as

216
00:09:28,380 --> 00:09:25,990
food and if one is particularly mange

217
00:09:31,110 --> 00:09:28,390
stricken it could have a bit of an

218
00:09:33,180 --> 00:09:31,120
otherworldly look here's a quote from

219
00:09:35,490 --> 00:09:33,190
University of Michigan entomologist

220
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:35,500
Barry O'Connor this is what he told

221
00:09:40,530 --> 00:09:39,130
National Geographic back in 2010 quote I

222
00:09:43,070 --> 00:09:40,540
don't think we need to look any further

223
00:09:45,930 --> 00:09:43,080
or to think that there's yet some other

224
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:45,940
explanation for these observations and

225
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:48,570
quotes he was speaking of mange and

226
00:09:53,850 --> 00:09:50,890
severe cases of mange caused by a

227
00:09:56,610 --> 00:09:53,860
parasite often cause hair loss shriveled

228
00:09:59,730 --> 00:09:56,620
infected skin and just a generally

229
00:10:02,280 --> 00:09:59,740
pitiful appearance it does not as this

230
00:10:04,850 --> 00:10:02,290
article notes however caused the famed

231
00:10:08,850 --> 00:10:04,860
blood sucking which is almost certainly

232
00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:08,860
legendary rather than fact Oh a chupa

233
00:10:14,850 --> 00:10:11,710
that's for sucking and capita of course

234
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:14,860
is goat just saying here's some more

235
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:16,960

little green men days festival that's a

239
00:10:32,970 --> 00:10:29,950
mouthful this is written by Jeffrey Lee

240
00:10:36,750 --> 00:10:32,980
Puckett who takes us back in time to the

241
00:10:38,250 --> 00:10:36,760
night of August 21st 1955 the

242
00:10:41,130 --> 00:10:38,260
temperature would have been pushing 90

243
00:10:43,380 --> 00:10:41,140
and the old southern farmhouse in Kelly

244
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:43,390
Kentucky was filled with family and

245
00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:46,090
friends a dusk one of those friends

246
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:48,550
Billy Ray Taylor went outside to get

247
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:50,890
water from the well and he saw a bright

248
00:10:56,820 --> 00:10:53,710
object shoot across the sky and into a

249
00:10:58,980 --> 00:10:56,830
nearby gully his breathless report was

250
00:11:02,130 --> 00:10:58,990
laughed off by the others inside the

251
00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:02,140
house but then the aliens crashed the

252
00:11:05,730 --> 00:11:04,720
party resulting in a one-sided battle

253
00:11:07,510 --> 00:11:05,740
where Taylor

254
00:11:10,510 --> 00:11:07,520
and various sudden came

255
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:10,520
fired rifles and shotguns at what they

256
00:11:16,060 --> 00:11:12,770
described as short creatures with large

257
00:11:19,210 --> 00:11:16,070
heads and eyes long arms and claw-like

258
00:11:21,340 --> 00:11:19,220
hands if this rings a bell to you

259
00:11:24,010 --> 00:11:21,350
regular gentle listeners we covered this

260
00:11:26,590 --> 00:11:24,020
event long time back on way back

261
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:26,600
Wednesday it tracks the way we remember

262
00:11:32,170 --> 00:11:30,050
it lawmen came from the city nearby of

263
00:11:34,810 --> 00:11:32,180
Hopkinsville they were recruited and

264
00:11:37,570 --> 00:11:34,820
found no evidence beyond bullet holes in

265
00:11:39,610 --> 00:11:37,580
various window screens after they left

266
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:39,620
however the family later reported the

267
00:11:45,430 --> 00:11:42,170
little green men returned poked around

268
00:11:47,290 --> 00:11:45,440
the farmhouse until nearly sunup the

269
00:11:49,329 --> 00:11:47,300
Kelly Hopkinsville encounter is a

270
00:11:52,060 --> 00:11:49,339
favorite among ufologists and even

271
00:11:54,850 --> 00:11:52,070
played a role in the making of ET the

272
00:11:57,100 --> 00:11:54,860
extra-terrestrial and as you might have

273
00:12:00,280 --> 00:11:57,110
gathered it's also the inspiration for

274
00:12:04,329 --> 00:12:00,290
the Kelly little green man days festival

275
00:12:05,980 --> 00:12:04,339
held annually since 2011 this year's

276
00:12:09,010 --> 00:12:05,990
festival of course has an added

277
00:12:11,590 --> 00:12:09,020
component the full solar eclipse will

278
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:11,600
arrive on the 62nd anniversary of the

279
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:15,170
invasion and some wonder if the UFO will

280
00:12:23,050 --> 00:12:17,690
return under cover of darkness and that

281
00:12:25,590 --> 00:12:23,060
time of a returning 124 p.m. then again

282
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:25,600
some wonder if anything happened at all

283
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:28,850
quote well that's a good question end

284
00:12:32,740 --> 00:12:31,130
quote said frank brown president of the

285
00:12:34,750 --> 00:12:32,750
kelley community organization which

286
00:12:37,449 --> 00:12:34,760
stages the festival it's a fundraiser

287
00:12:41,470 --> 00:12:37,459
for community improvements he continues

288
00:12:43,269 --> 00:12:41,480

295
00:13:00,550 --> 00:12:57,950
may or may not have fought space

296
00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:00,560
invaders some experts think the family

297
00:13:05,579 --> 00:13:03,440
was battling owls others are convinced

00:13:13,510 --> 00:13:11,630
thousand people but this year mr. Brown

amount

303
00:13:18,910 --> 00:13:16,459
the Hopkinsville area is expected to be

304
00:13:20,660 --> 00:13:18,920
flooded with between 100 and 200

305
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:20,670
thousand eclipses

306
00:13:25,610 --> 00:13:23,490
sirs eager to experience the moment when

307
00:13:28,270 --> 00:13:25,620
the moon covers the Sun more completely

308
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:28,280
than anywhere else on the planet

309
00:13:34,580 --> 00:13:31,770
interesting Hopkinsville Kentucky let's

310
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:34,590
go from what may or may not have been

311
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:37,290
hours in the Hopkinsville Kentucky to

312
00:13:44,390 --> 00:13:41,250
what may or may not be in Chicago here's

313
00:13:47,090 --> 00:13:44,400
the headline Chicago's Mothman stories

314
00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:47,100
are good too paranormal entertainment

315
00:13:52,580 --> 00:13:49,590
and yes there does seem to be that

316
00:13:55,700 --> 00:13:52,590
Mothman component to the Chicago

317
00:13:57,650 --> 00:13:55,710
strangeness this gets a byline for Ted

Slovak he writes a column for the

319
00:14:02,540 --> 00:13:59,840
Chicago Tribune called the daily

320
00:14:05,930 --> 00:14:02,550
Southtown here's the story

321
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:05,940
and he writes this first-person I love a

322
00:14:09,890 --> 00:14:07,490
good story about the paranormal

323
00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:09,900
Bachelor's Grove Cemetery in Bremen

324
00:14:16,130 --> 00:14:12,510
Township is famous for its ghost stories

325
00:14:18,590 --> 00:14:16,140
and in 2004 reports of three red lights

326
00:14:21,940 --> 00:14:18,600

extraterrestrials Bigfoot poltergeists

329
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:26,460
and other phenomena make for

330
00:14:31,250 --> 00:14:28,650
entertaining yarns that stretch the

331
00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:31,260
boundaries of the imagination when I

332
00:14:36,350 --> 00:14:33,120
heard about recent alleged sightings of

333
00:14:39,170 --> 00:14:36,360
Mothman in Chicago I reacted with a

334
00:14:40,730 --> 00:14:39,180
healthy dose of skepticism for some

335
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:40,740
willing to suspend disbelief

336
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:43,050
the sightings portend an ominous tale of

337
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:45,510
foreboding others may pass them off as

338
00:14:52,850 --> 00:14:49,530
pure fiction some say it looks like a

339
00:14:56,150 --> 00:14:52,860
large bat or owl others say it resembles

340
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:56,160
a man in a wingsuit some say it's silent

341
00:15:01,490 --> 00:14:58,650
but others describe a sound like brakes

342
00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:01,500
screeching some people who claim to have

343
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:02,910
seen the creature in Chicago recently

344
00:15:07,850 --> 00:15:05,730
reported it had glowing red eyes and

345
00:15:11,060 --> 00:15:07,860
they felt a sense of dread when they saw

346
00:15:12,980 --> 00:15:11,070
it here's something from lawn Strickler

347
00:15:15,590 --> 00:15:12,990
just a note here gentle listeners lawn

348
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:15,600
Strickler a familiar name yep been a

349
00:15:20,060 --> 00:15:17,760
guest here on several shows on inception

350
00:15:22,970 --> 00:15:20,070
radio network and here's what he says

351
00:15:25,670 --> 00:15:22,980
quote I believe the witnesses are seeing

352
00:15:28,190 --> 00:15:25,680
something because the descriptions don't

353
00:15:30,590 --> 00:15:28,200
come here exactly I think there could be

354
00:15:34,010 --> 00:15:30,600
at least two or three different beings

355
00:15:34,580 --> 00:15:34,020
and quotes the more than 20 reports

356
00:15:37,550 --> 00:15:34,590

seemed to then gain altitude a Strickler

425
00:18:35,580 --> 00:18:33,130
was asked about the credibility of

426
00:18:37,890 --> 00:18:35,590
reports if one accepts the reports as

427
00:18:41,210 --> 00:18:37,900
authentic could people be seeing a large

428
00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:41,220
owl a man in a wingsuit or a drone

429
00:18:46,290 --> 00:18:44,710
decorated to look like a monster said

430
00:18:48,690 --> 00:18:46,300
Strickler quote we've looked into

431
00:18:52,260 --> 00:18:48,700
everything people say it moves its head

432
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:52,270
and its legs it acts like it's living if

433
00:18:57,450 --> 00:18:54,730
it was a suit it would need some kind of

434
00:18:58,140 --> 00:18:57,460
jet pack it's kind of got a propulsion

435
00:19:00,630 --> 00:18:58,150
to it

436
00:19:02,730 --> 00:19:00,640
they flaps its wings it accelerates end

437
00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:02,740
quotes one of the more convincing

438
00:19:08,310 --> 00:19:04,000
accounts is alleged to have occurred

439
00:19:10,340 --> 00:19:08,320
about 11:15 p.m. June 29th at 81st and

440
00:19:13,230 --> 00:19:10,350
Throop streets in the auburn gresham

441
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:13,240
neighborhood lawn Strickler published an

442
00:19:17,970 --> 00:19:15,610
account allegedly received by Manuel

443
00:19:20,430 --> 00:19:17,980
Nevada a from a man claiming to be a

444
00:19:21,930 --> 00:19:20,440
Chicago police officer on routine patrol

445
00:19:24,750 --> 00:19:21,940
with his partner

446
00:19:26,190 --> 00:19:24,760
here's his account quote we were flagged

447
00:19:28,470 --> 00:19:26,200
down by a group of people who were

448
00:19:31,290 --> 00:19:28,480
pointing up to the top of an apartment

449
00:19:33,810 --> 00:19:31,300
building that was on the corner the man

450
00:19:35,970 --> 00:19:33,820
claiming to be an officer quote reported

451
00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:35,980
seeing a large creature with wings on

452
00:19:40,670 --> 00:19:38,320
top of the building they shined

453
00:19:43,260 --> 00:19:40,680
flashlights on it and it flew away

454
00:19:44,610 --> 00:19:43,270
people crowded around and said they had

455
00:19:46,940 --> 00:19:44,620
seen the creature flying over the

456
00:19:49,740 --> 00:19:46,950
neighborhood the two nights previous

457
00:19:51,810 --> 00:19:49,750
quote we were initially doubtful about

458
00:19:54,090 --> 00:19:51,820
filing a report because we thought we

459
00:19:56,669 --> 00:19:54,100
would be made fun of for seeing quote

460
00:19:58,950 --> 00:19:56,679
little green men and quotes we finally

461
00:20:02,220 --> 00:19:58,960
filed a report as we just didn't want to

462
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:02,230
violate protocol is what the officers

463
00:20:05,820 --> 00:20:04,210
I checked with the Chicago Police

464
00:20:07,789 --> 00:20:05,830
Department to see if any reports were

465
00:20:10,289 --> 00:20:07,799
filed about the alleged auburn gresham

466
00:20:12,599 --> 00:20:10,299
incident or any other recent Mothman

467
00:20:14,879 --> 00:20:12,609
sightings and here's what a spokesman

468
00:20:17,340 --> 00:20:14,889
said quote our database did not reveal

469
00:20:21,749 --> 00:20:17,350
any reports or any incidents regarding

470
00:20:23,399 --> 00:20:21,759
the aforementioned end quotes I remain

471
00:20:25,649 --> 00:20:23,409
skeptical about the reported sightings

472
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:25,659
of Mothman in Chicago but I find the

473
00:20:30,869 --> 00:20:27,970
accounts entertaining they remind me of

474
00:20:35,879 --> 00:20:30,879
Kolchak The Night Stalker that TV show

475
00:20:38,310 --> 00:20:35,889
that aired on ABC in 1974 to 1975 Darren

476
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:38,320
McGavin starred as Carl Kolchak a

477
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:40,450
newspaper reporter who investigated

478
00:20:47,310 --> 00:20:43,210
mysterious cases involving monsters and

479
00:20:50,369 --> 00:20:47,320
other strange Ness segue UFO stalker

480
00:20:53,970 --> 00:20:50,379

weather here but here is the account I

493
00:21:36,869 --> 00:21:33,039
was coming out of best buy with my

494
00:21:40,019 --> 00:21:36,879
husband when I saw this thing fly over

495
00:21:43,950 --> 00:21:40,029
top of us and head west it was flying

496
00:21:46,409 --> 00:21:43,960
very fast and the wings were flapping as

497
00:21:47,909 --> 00:21:46,419
it flew away from us I reached for my

498
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:47,919
phone but by the time I pulled it out

499
00:21:53,430 --> 00:21:49,690
and brought up the camera this thing had

500
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:53,440
moved farther away I got one picture but

501
00:21:58,769 --> 00:21:55,690
I can't seem to submit it and then the

502
00:22:00,749 --> 00:21:58,779
thing moved out of sight from what I saw

503
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:00,759
when it flew over it must have been at

504
00:22:07,379 --> 00:22:04,450
least six feet tall and had wings that

505
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:07,389
must have been at least seven feet it

506
00:22:13,589 --> 00:22:09,970
was black in color but that was all I

507
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:13,599
was able to see the photo is fuzzy and

508
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:15,850
I'm not the greatest photographer in

509
00:22:20,730 --> 00:22:19,210
world yep and well it's not posted so

510
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:20,740
we'll just move on

511
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:24,010
in fact we'll move oh let's just go stay

512
00:22:28,650 --> 00:22:25,210

513
00:22:31,590 --> 00:22:28,660

515
00:22:35,159 --> 00:22:33,669
there but if you are so inclined you can

516
00:22:37,740 --> 00:22:35,169
buy the place

517
00:22:40,470 --> 00:22:37,750

518
00:22:43,950 --> 00:22:40,480
of mirth it's again from that website

motel for twenty years he says I love

533
00:23:23,580 --> 00:23:21,280
clowns I've never had a problem with

534
00:23:25,409 --> 00:23:23,590
clowns and quotes of this broadcaster

535
00:23:29,399 --> 00:23:25,419
thinks surely this man has not read

536
00:23:30,930 --> 00:23:29,409
Stephen King's it Pennywise you if the

537
00:23:33,390 --> 00:23:30,940
clowns aren't enough to keep you up at

538
00:23:37,260 --> 00:23:33,400
night the motel is also popular with

539
00:23:40,590 --> 00:23:37,270
ghost hunters because next door is Tana

540
00:23:42,419 --> 00:23:40,600
Paz first town cemetery established soon

541
00:23:45,299 --> 00:23:42,429
after the town was settled by silver

542
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:45,309
miners in the early 1900s the town

543
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:48,370
boomed for a short while but when mining

544
00:23:54,149 --> 00:23:51,370
fell off in the 1920s the town started

545
00:23:59,370 --> 00:23:54,159
to empty today there are about 2,500

546
00:24:01,289 --> 00:23:59,380
residents and so so many clowns whoever

547
00:24:03,899 --> 00:24:01,299
takes over the clown motel must agree to

548
00:24:06,090 --> 00:24:03,909
keep its clowny spirit intact even if

549
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:06,100
they do plan on renovations they must

550
00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:08,530
