Episode 141- Weather Fair, All Well
Welcome to What The Heck season 4! This podcast explores unexplained phenomena using stories gathered from various sources, then applies an academic research method to find theories and solutions for each one. So far, we've been unsuccessful in finding any concrete answers, but a few of the stories we've covered have been solved. Today, we're looking back to the year 1918 and the disappearance of the USS Cyclops. This ship was a collier, delivering coal to ships on the ocean so they could power their engines. When the US joined the First World War in 1917, it became a Naval ship. In early 1918, it was tasked with retrieving some manganese ore from Brazil. On its return journey, the ship stopped at Barbados, disappearing on the ocean a few days later. What happened to the USS Cyclops? Could the captain be blamed? Was it the mysterious Bermuda Triangle? Listen in to hear all the theories!
