  • World's Best Pirate Cursed by a Witch - Black Sam Bellamy and the Witch of Wellfleet
    May 23 2024

    The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe someone who is officially the most successful pirate in history, Black Sam Bellamy. Black Sam came from humble beginnings, a young British Navy sailor who turned treasure hunter in order to secure the marriage of Sam’s true love (Sam had to get rich or die trying). Things went a bit sideways however when Sam found that the 1715 Treasure Fleet had already been recovered (well, the easy bits at least) meaning that Sam had no quick and easy treasure to achieve his goal. What’s a skilled man of the sea to do when in need of money? That’s right, PIRATE. Black Sam Bellamy would come in to contact with famous pirates Henry Jennings, Benjamin Hornigold and Blackbeard and join the Flying Gang but Sam would become more successful than all of them, depending upon how you define success… From storming ships naked to deceiving ships with fake flags, Sam earned well over one hundred million dollars in today’s currency. At the height of Sam’s success however, Sam longed for love. Allegedly. Truthfully. At this very same moment, it is alleged that Sam’s love, who had encountered misery whilst waiting for Sam, placed a curse on Sam. Sam, unaware of the misery of his love, would one day return but this day may just have been Sam’s last. Was witchcraft responsible? Alongside that, we ask whether a pirate can be truly good if they put everything to the vote… All that and more on this week’s file.

  • Tough Cookie George Wheeler’s Jaffa Cake Sighting of 1976
    May 16 2024

    The paranormal comedy podcast where we probe George Wheeler’s 1976 sighting of something in the sky. What? It’s not entirely clear on first analysis actually. On second analysis, it was a flying saucer. On third, a Jaffa Cake. On fourth, the moon. Nobody can be sure until we pop the lid off this one and see what’s going on with that dangly bit… All that and more on this episode.

  • Soviet Media Disclosed UFO at Voronezh in 1989
    May 9 2024

    The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the Voronezh UFO. 27/09/1989. This date is written in now Russian history for this was Independence Day. Well, not that type of Independence Day but a big-a** spaceship may have breached then-Soviet airspace. The smart folks (possibly the adults because those witnesses may have allegedly truthfully disappeared) ran. Those with their wits perhaps less about them, stood awestruck. Did the craft land? If a craft lands and an alien exits said craft, the first thing they teach you in MiB Academy is to not directly approach an alien. One child didn’t follow this teaching, f’d around and found out. Parallel to that, this one was witnessed by the police and with such an authentic sighting, this one quickly made it’s way to the media of the time. State media. Scientific analysis ensued. Alongside that it is pondered through the episode… What kind of potential weapon found laying around the house would be best to combat an alien invader? What could you say to an alien that would result in the alien immediately opening fire on you? All that and more on this week’s file.

  • Kevin The Biker - Dewhurst Creek Dalliance
    May 2 2024

    The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe whether Kevin was probed. Well, abducted. But not our Kevin, he’s a national icon and global treasure. This Kevin was in Canada and on the 2nd of September 1987 this Kevin was taking a lads holiday to the Dewhurst Creek between Sheldon Lake and Macpass. Moose hunting and fishing were on the agenda but what went down, or up, was something much more extraterrestrial. Alongside that we ponder whether a tree falling down in space would make a sound. All that and more on this weeks probe.

  • Man Punched Bigfoot in the Gut - Tim Peeler in the Sassy Saga
    Apr 25 2024

    The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe an alleged physical assault on Bigfoot. It's the Sassy Saga part two - the second time we've probed Bigfoot. In 2010, Tim Peeler’s dogs were in heat which was very important for us to know. That heat, may have attracted Bigfoot. Ole’ Sassy themselves. Being randy, Bigfoot simply wouldn’t ‘GET’ and so Tim had to take action. That action was first to poke Sasquatch with a stick but when that didn’t work, Tim brought out the big guns. Tim’s gun. By gun, we mean Tim’s arm - Tim punched Bigfoot. That’s right, Tim Peeler, is the man who socked Bigfoot. What did Bigfoot do? This led us to another emergency services call about Bigfoot over in Washington State. Are these two calls the most compelling Bigfoot eye witness accounts there have ever been? Alongside that we ponder whether coyotes are coy… Was Tim Peeler a Pokemon trainer? Can Bigfoot speak dog? All that and more on this week’s file. Go on, GET.

    The Tim Peeler calls between 13:25 - 15:40 and 17:06 - 23:17

    The news report is 29:07 - 31:01

    Washington State 911 call: 35:03 - 36:28

  • Pat Eudy’s Abduction Saga of 1979 - Do Worms Have Di*ks
    Apr 18 2024

    The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe . 3am, March, 1979, USA - the details aren’t clear but what can you expect when aliens and memory wiping are involved? Pat Eudy was a 46 year old driving to Monroe who may or may not have been but probably was slabbed and probed. After two years, Pat sought answers. Those answers, were that Pat was abducted by aliens and spent some time in a cockpit before being strapped down and analysed.

  • House of 200 Demons - Ammons Family Exorcisms
    Apr 11 2024

    The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the most possessed/haunted house possibly ever documented, the Ammons house. Between 2011 and 2012, this house is believed to have been attacked by demons. It all starts as many a Hollywood tale have, with flies. Blankets of flies covering a house without known cause. Things only got worse from there. Soon, there were footsteps, creaks and even an unknown figure. It’s safe to say that Mr Moonwalker and Kev would’ve pegged it way before any figures made an appearance but on with the tale we must go. If you can sense otherworldly presences, but they can’t be seen or heard in general, how can you tell how many there are? Does The Vision operate like a known sense e.g. where you can perceive different tones and pitch, or perceive different levels of light? You know people always suggest that if haunted and what-not, folks should move, but that isn’t actually always a realistic option. People therefore have to look to other methods and that’s exactly what this family did. Some of those methods were pretty wild. This case may well be the most well documented (officially) events that we have ever covered. Alongside all of this, we learn of another of Mr Moonwalker’s disturbing dreams. All that and more on this week’s file.

  • Good Ole' JR and Jane’s Extraterrestrial Experience of 1973 - Shave Ya Balls
    Apr 4 2024

    The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe James Richards’ June 1973 allegedly alien encounter. JR was minding his business when outside, lights appeared. Next, there was a thrashing. Before you know it, JR was seeing a UFO BY GAWD. JR contacted the police who too the account very seriously and transferred JR to the Flight Service Station at Columbia Regional Airport whereby JR discovered that there had been similar sightings. The police later turned up to investigate, as did J. Allen Hynek. Was this one a prank, or was it indeed, aliens? Alongside that, should But It Was Aliens advertise ball trimmers? All that and more on this weeks episode.
