Expanded Perspectives

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys start off talking about Zenkerella insignis, the critter caught on Bioko, is one of the world's most ancient and mysterious mammals. Until now, it was known only by its fossils and 11 scattered specimens, many of which had been languishing in natural history collections for over 100 years. Researchers who were interested in the species (and there aren't many) had little to go on aside from a hind limb here, a few teeth there. No scientist in history has ever seen it alive. Then, according to biologist Elizabeth Congdon, an assistant professor at Bethune-Cookman University, the state of Florida could have a serious capybara problem—and it might be the fault of exotic pet owners. Then, it's been a year since two treasure hunters claimed to have found a Nazi gold train buried under Poland and yet no Nazi gold train has actually been produced. That isn't stopping a team of 35 people, who plan to resume the hunt Monday, Deutsche Welle reports. Then, care to learn more about 400-foot tsunamis on Mars? Now you can, after Nasa announced it is making all its publicly funded research available online for free. The space agency has set up a new public web portal called Pubspace, where the public can find Nasa-funded research articles on everything from the chances of life on one of Saturn’s moons to the effects of space station living on the hair follicles of astronauts. After the break Cam and Kyle talk about the iconic "Skinwalker Ranch". In northern Utah there exists a “ranch” so strange, so bizarre, that the National Institute for Discovery Science (owned by Las Vegas businessman and billionaire Bob Bigelow) purchased it solely for scientific research purposes. Located in the Uintah Basin near the town of Fort Duchesne, paranormal phenomenon such as strange creatures, bizarre objects, flying black triangles, animal mutilations, and telepathic messages, have been reported on the 480 acre Skinwalker Ranch for hundreds of years. It is estimated that over half the population in the area surrounding the ranch have witnessed unusual paranormal activity on, or near what became known as the “Strangest Place on Earth”. Even the local Ute Indians believe the land to be cursed – and tribe members are strictly forbidden to enter the property. Thanks for listening to Expanded Perspectives!

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show-off talking about Kyle and Luke's recent trip to 5 haunted houses and the souring of corn for feral hogs. Next, in the heart of the New Mexico desert, a mail carrier's routine day takes a hair-raising turn. Stranded after a tire blowout, without cell service, he embarks on a chilling hike to an elevated spot. But what he encounters on this journey feels like a scene right out of a 1950s horror film. Then, two young boys explore the dense woods near their Western New York home. Amongst the trees, they encounter a mysterious and unseen entity that defies explanation. Little do they know, their eerie day in the woods is only the beginning. Back home, one of the boys becomes the target of a chilling 'Glimmer Man' attack.
After the break, Cam delves deep into the enigmatic tales of three legendary cryptids that have haunted the imaginations of those brave enough to seek the truth. The Pope Lick Monster, a creature of legend said to be part man, part goat or sheep, lurking beneath the eerie Norfolk Southern Railroad trestle over Floyd's Creek in the Fishersville area near Louisville, Kentucky. The Northfield Pigman, a being that defies explanation. Half man, half pig, the Pigman's existence has been a source of fascination and fear for generations. And, finally, the Houston Rat Man. With a face reminiscent of a rat, strange eyes, and a flaring nose, this bizarre entity has long been a source of terror in the hearts of those who cross its path. Cam takes you deep into the strange case files and eyewitness accounts that surround this enigmatic creature.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off by talking about the beginning of deer season here in the state of Texas, the state fair, and more. Then, a former postal worker has a strange encounter with what they believe were some Men In Black. Next, a person driving through the foothills of southern California has an experience they can't quite explain. A tall deer-like creature stood up on its hind spindly legs and crossed the road.
After the break, Kyle brings up some very strange encounters with what has become to be known as the Men In Black phenomenon. The enigmatic and mysterious Men in Black, often abbreviated as MIB, have long captured the imagination of conspiracy theorists, UFO enthusiasts, and pop culture aficionados alike. Emerging from the shadowy depths of urban legends, these elusive figures are commonly portrayed as United States federal government agents, shrouded in black suits, and tasked with one peculiar mission – suppressing evidence related to UFO encounters. However, the intrigue surrounding the Men in Black extends far beyond their supposed government affiliation, delving into the realms of extraterrestrial conspiracy theories and a complex web of secrecy.
In popular culture, the image of the Men in Black has become iconic, synonymous with enigmatic, otherworldly figures who appear mysteriously after UFO sightings. Yet, it is essential to note that not all Men in Black are necessarily government operatives, nor do they always don the iconic dark suits. The term "Men in Black" has evolved to encompass a broader spectrum of mysterious individuals who intervene in the aftermath of encounters with unidentified flying objects. One of the most tantalizing theories surrounding these shadowy figures suggests that the Men in Black are not merely human agents, but rather, they might be aliens themselves in clever disguises. This notion blurs the lines between conspiracy and science fiction, creating a captivating narrative that challenges conventional understanding of the UFO phenomenon. Some proponents of this theory argue that these extraterrestrial MIB are part of a clandestine effort to keep humanity in the dark about the existence of otherworldly beings and advanced civilizations.
Within the intricate tapestry of UFO lore, the emergence of the Men in Black paints a multifaceted picture. While some contactees present a rosy and optimistic view of their encounters with UFOs and their occupants, others believe in the existence of sinister forces actively opposing the so-called "Space Brothers" and their benevolent mission. These antagonistic forces, both extraterrestrial and terrestrial, are thought to work together in a covert alliance, intent on obstructing the revelation of the truth regarding UFOs and their potential implications for humanity.
