On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off by talking about Kyle and Luke's recent trip to the Dallas World Aquarium in downtown Dallas, Texas. Then, a listener writes into the show about multiple encounters they had with the Hat Man. The Hat Man is a phenomenon in which witnesses report seeing a shadowy entity dressed in an old top hat on some occasions, and on others with a "fedora" type hat. Next, two men in the summer of 1990 were out fishing one night in Rhode Island when they had a run-in with some strange-looking illuminated entities running around on the shore of the lake. What were they doing?

After the break, Cam brings up some bizarre military encounters from around the world spanning many years, miles, and wars. They say battle proves mankind doesn’t need to invent monsters, as the monsters were inside us all along. Yet sometimes soldiers report sightings of what can only be described as actual monsters, or in other cases, otherworldly beings. Are these battlefield stresses, or are men whose lives literally depend on remaining alert and aware, seeing things that the rest of us might miss? Do mythological beasts stalk our battlefields? Do curious entities observe from a distance, making notes on our primal, savage nature?
