Do you believe in aliens? Would you believe someone if they told you a UFO landed on top of their car and picked it up off the road? That's exactly what the Knowles family claimed happened to them. Tune in to hear their story, the facts, the debunking theories, and let us know if you think the Knowles family had a real life alien encounter!

How is it possible that a UFO sighting with over 400 witnesses has never been solved? Was it a government coverup? Did aliens really visit us that day? Was it just a weather balloon? Tune in to hear all the theories and explanations as to what really happened on April 6th 1966 and remember...keep your eye on the sky!

Hey Paranormies!

We're giving you a bonus ep this week to celebrate our friends, Dom and Amy, over at Horror House Podcast. They kindly invited us onto their show to learn all about Anne Hamilton-Byrne and 'The Family' cult, located right here in Australia!

Make sure to check them out over at Horror House: True Crime and The Macabre

"Anne Hamilton-Byrne may have been a yoga instructor, but when you are of the firm belief that you are the reincarnation of Jesus Christ himself and that the world is coming to an end, teaching yoga is not going to be your career path. Starting a cult on the other hand, is far more apt. Join us, and a few very special guests, as we talk about heavy yoga, procuring children and drug fueled rituals. A normal 'Family', this is not."
