UFO's aren't just bothering Bubba in his corn field. They frequently buzz by airports too, often nearly colliding with commercial aircraft. But this case was different. And there was a coverup involved. Oh. And we also talk about the Chinese Spy Balloon. Because. Why not?

For most in the US, even in Tulsa where this happened, no one knew about the devastation of Black Wall Street in the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Most until a HBO tv series, the Watchmen, featured the horrific incident on an episode. On Memorial Day in the Drexel Building in Tulsa, Dick Rowland took an elevator to use the segregated bathroom there. This innocent action sparked a massacre that would end with thirty five city blocks burned, planes dropping bombs, and nearly 300 people dead.

On an October Sunday in Chicago in 1955, three teenage boys would vanish into thin air. Two days later, their mutilated bodies were found. The case had few leads and went cold. It remained cold for forty years, until police started investigating the mysterious disappearance of Brach Candy Heiress Helen Vorhees Brach who went missing in 1977. In a tale that is stranger than fiction, investigators linked her disappearance to fraudulent horse sales. How the case was solved is nothing short of amazing.

We've all heard of Atlantis, but there are many tales of many lost civilizations, of land masses disappearing due to the wrath of God, natural disasters, and other strange calamities. Today, we're talking about Lemuria. Funny thing is? It might have been real.
