The "out of the ordinary" case, as described by our guest, Amber Keating, happened in 1989 in Fukushima, Japan where a deceased man was found in the collection tank of a squat toilet. The story has become a mainstay of mystery blogs, reddit posts, and youtube videos, but authentic sources for research are hard to come by. Regardless, it's a worthy mystery. If it's true, how and why did the man crawl into the small, gross pipes?

1947 was a historic year. On top of the atomic age and the Cold War knocking on the door, a man from Boise, Kenneth Arnold, saw nine strange objects in the sky and it changed the world forever. The press ate up Arnold's story, and the few weeks that followed saw a frenzy of "flying saucer" sightings including some of the most notorious UFO cases of the 20th century. Were they all just part of the mass hysteria that followed Arnold's account?

Guest Keri Pina brings her passion for the UFO phenomena to the show!

February 28th, 1989. Media Koji Fukushima, Japan. A school teacher returned to her dorm to settle in for the night in her private bathroom. Something cut her off a man's shoe down in the pipe of the old fashioned toilet. Upon investigate, the teacher made a horrid discovery. A dead body of a man was stuck in the small septic tank. A truly strange case unfolded, and every time investigators collected a new piece of evidence, it only raised more questions than answers.
