   Number 1: The Hum and the Silence, Vol 22: The 50 States Project: California

   Look, is this project a mistake? Probably, but I will attempt to dethrone Sufjan Stevens and make this 50 states thing work! Anyway, today I bring you some really strange cases from California, including what may be the most terrifying looking UFO of all time, a case reminiscent of the film, The Fourth Kind, a mining couple plagued by a zapping UFO, and some orange stealing aliens!

   Number 2: The Hum and the Silence, Vol. 21: The Experiences of Paul Bennet

   What's up, patrons! So, I ended up getting Covid, which delayed this episode by a week, and I proudly made it through most of this episode... before coughing (don't worry I edited them all out... I think). On this installment, a Pennine Mystery Addendum, Part 2, so to speak, we look at the experiences of Paul Bennett, one of the investigators of the Alan Godfrey abduction. His story has it all folks, including giant robots, Predator-like "invisible walkers," UFOs and short shadow figures. Also, J Allen Hynek leaves a review of the podcast (didn't see that coming, did ya?)

   Number 5: 111: The 1965-67 Series, Part 3: 1967, Complete with UFO Paranoia and Weirdness with Ashley Hilt

   As silent wings hovered over the TNT area north of Point Pleasant, the big gray birdman would soon be replaced with bright luminous lights, and mysterious men driving brand new Cadillacs, asking strange questions to Mothman witnesses. 1967 would be the weirdest year of the flap. With humanoid and UFO reports on the rise, intense men in black type activity would accompany the witnesses all throughout the country, along with poltergeists and strange phone calls. The first cattle mutilation case of our modern mythos was reported in September. A new wave of contactees appeared that summer to cause chaos and confusion. In New York, a strange tale would unfold in one neighborhood in Scotia. And what was up with Ohio residents hitting anomalous things with their cars? This week, Fortean Investigator, filmmaker and co-host of On Wednesdays, We Talk Weird, Ashley Hilt, joins the pod to discuss the 67 flap, what a Men in Black car show would look like, and robotic humanoids directing traffic in Connecticut.
