• Strange Visitors Before Roswell: UFO Encounters from 1900-1930

  Before Roswell made UFOs a household name, strange craft were already haunting our skies. In the early 1900s, from the battlefields of World War I to quiet farmlands across the globe, witnesses reported encounters with mysterious airships, glowing discs, and their otherworldly occupants. We’ll look at UFO sightings and encounters from 1900 thru 1930 – and there are a lot more than you’d expect.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Lead-In00:02:18.129 = Show Open00:03:38.205 = UFOs and Extraterrestrials in the 1900s (Part 1)00:20:30.205 = ***UFOs and Extraterrestrials in the 1900s (Part 2)00:35:17.123 = ***UFOs and Extraterrestrials in the 1910s (Part 1)01:03:56.725 = ***UFOs and Extraterrestrials in the 1910s (Part 2)01:25:33.274 = ***UFOs and Extraterrestrials in the 1920s (Part 1)01:37:49.569 = ***UFOs and Extraterrestrials in the 1920s (Part 2)01:50:41.188 = Show CloseSOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…Photo of Edward Pline UFO: https://weirddarkness.com/Early1900sUFOs, or https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/wp-content/gallery/bestufos/1870-03.jpgMarcus Lowth for UFO Insight: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckt2jzd, https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yjh86ksd,https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p9a8xbhThree Red Objects Sighted From USS Supply, NICAP http://www.nicap.org/040228pacific_dir.htmThe Democrat-Herald newspaper, August 27 1973Saw An Airship, Columbus Republican, August 18, 1906 (page 5)Emery County Progress, September 15 1906The Burlington Free Press, June 3, 1907Our Strange World, Mark Chorvinsky, Fate Magazine, Vol. 45, No. 8, August 1992Daimonic Reality: A Field Guide to the Otherworld, Patrick Harpur, ISBN 9780937 663097Modern Mysteries of Britain, Janet Bord and Colin Bord, ISBN 9780586 065297HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, David Webb and Ted BloecherUFOs: The Whole Story, Coral Lorenzen, ASIN B0006CDZPYEarth Lights Revelation: UFOs and Mystery Lightform Phenomena – The Earth’s Secret Energy Force, Paul Devereux, ISBN 9780713 722093NTCAT 1910 – 1919 – International Catalog of Entity Reports”, by Peter Rogerson http://intcat.blogspot.com/search/label/1911%20-%201919From Airships to Arnold: A Preliminary Catalogue of UFO Reports in the Early 20th Century (1900-1946), Richard Hall, ISBN 192895 7013Unexplained!: Strange Sightings, Incredible Occurrences and Puzzling Physical Phenomena, Jerome Clark, ISBN 9781578 590704The Soviet UFO Files, Paul Stonehill, ISBN 9781858 338583Book of Space Contacts, Timothy Beckley, ISBN 9780938 294054 (page 26-27)UFO!: The Complete Sightings Guide, Peter Brookesmith, ISBN 9780713 725834 (page 31)=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

• Seven Sisters Road: The Dark Truth Behind Nebraska's Deadliest Legend

  A farmer's bloody revenge left seven women hanging from the hills of Nebraska—and over a century later, their screams still echo through the darkness while cars mysteriously stall and glowing red eyes watch from the shadows of Seven Sisters Road.IN THIS EPISODE: There are many legends from Nebraska involving supernatural entities, but one of the eerier accounts out there is the story of Nebraska's haunted “L Street”. According to legend, seven women were murdered on the road in the 1900s. Ever since, the road and surrounding hills have been a rumored hotbed of paranormal activity. It's labeled as "L Street" on the map – but locals call it “Seven Sisters Road. (The Terror of Seven Sisters Road) *** The restaurant is a bit dated with the servers wearing old-fashioned black and white aprons. The food was incredible, the place was spotlessly clean. It’s definitely a restaurant you’ll want to visit again when you pass that way again. Unfortunately, the restaurant won’t be there… because it never was. (The Restaurant That Disappeared) *** They say chivalry is dead, but that was not so in 1875. Standing up to someone on behalf of your wife was not only common, but expected… even to the point of murder.
