We've heard Ben and Pat discuss plenty of 'Ancient Alien' encounters on the show before, and plenty more stories that took place within the realm of recent history. But were UFO's lighting up the sky throughout the Dark Ages? On the latest episode of 4Thirty, the guys jump back into their flying saucer and travel to the Middle Ages, this time covering tales and incidents from medieval records that eerily mimic later recounts of alleged extraterrestrial contact. The guys also present a quartet of 'odd news' stories this week and share a story or two, while Pat provides a Sumo update from Nagoya, Japan that nobody asked for. Does medieval and renaissance art provide direct evidence of unidentified aerial phenomena? Could the Black Plague have been deliberately brought to Earth by aliens? Did an African tribe hold advanced interstellar knowledge centuries before the invention of the telescope? Are vending machines the safest and most convenient way to sell ammunition? For answers to these questions and too many more, please give the latest episode of 4Thirty in the Morning a listen!
