S4 E26: Aliens in the Forest - The Cisco Grove Incident


Listen Later

Welcome back to your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad! This week, Tyler and Woody dive into an eerie and intense encounter from September 1964, known as the Cisco Grove UFO Incident.

Imagine being stranded alone in the woods, only to be confronted by mysterious beings and a menacing robot. This is exactly what happened to 26-year-old Donald Shrum, a welder and painter for Aerojet General Corporation, during a hunting trip in Cisco Grove, California.

Separated from his friends as night fell, Don climbed a tree to avoid predators. What he thought was a search helicopter turned out to be something far more sinister. Over the next 12 hours, Don faced relentless attempts by these beings to abduct him, using knockout gas and other tactics. His survival instincts kicked in as he fought back with everything he had, from arrows to setting his own clothing on fire.

This episode is packed with high strangeness, from descriptions of the beings that looked like they were wearing welders' goggles to the mechanical robot with glowing red eyes that seemed to emit a knockout gas. We explore the implications of this encounter, the possible motives behind it, and how it affected Don for the rest of his life.

Could this be a case of extraterrestrial beings collecting samples?

Or was it a top-secret military experiment gone wrong?

Join us as we dissect this harrowing tale and discuss the various theories that surround it.

So sit back, relax, and get ready for an episode filled with suspense, mystery, and the unknown. Whether you're here for the UFOs, the high strangeness, or just to hear two best friends dive deep into the unexplained, this episode has something for everyone.
