But It Was Aliens
The paranormal comedy podcast from two former MIB’s who asked too many questions. Kevin the Grey and Granville Moonwalker take it in turns each and every Thursday to present a real-life paranormal incident to the other in the hope of convincing humanity that the supernatural exists, or making each other laugh. Each week, the co-host has no idea what’s coming up and the show is ended by deciding whether the events discussed, really were paranormal. #Probe

#151 Gimping Ain’t Easy - The Sh*tcrawler

#151 Gimping Ain’t Easy - The Sh*tcrawler

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe an alien gimp-like creature aka a gimp aka The North Somerset Gimp. Is the Somerset area of England in the United Kingdom being visited by extraterrestrial beings that look suspiciously like a man dressed in a gimp-suit? If you’re reading these notes, we think you’ve probably already worked out where this episode is heading (other than down the gutter, which is possibly where this gimp came from too)… Moonwalker may work this one out in about 7 minutes and 34 seconds too, not that Kev would admit this. Anyway… What kind of sound would an alien-gimp creature make? Would it resemble the sexual grunt of Chewbacca from Star Wars? What’s this creature been crawling through? We also cover some alternative theories today for example whether this creature is a superhero, with their appearance having a striking resemblance to Venom and Deadpool from the Marvel Universe. All that and more on this week’s file. Oh and before we detail how you can probe us, there was a lot of visual and video evidence utilised today so we will include links to the best sources momentarily. Before we do, we just want to add that hopefully, this episode hasn’t caused any offence, sadness or anxiety to anyone impacted upon by the incidents covered.    Sources:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-63421811.amp    https://metro.co.uk/2022/10/29/is-this-the-end-of-the-line-for-the-somerset-gimp-17662389/amp/    https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1689606/Somerset-gimp-video-sighting-Cleeve-village/amp    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10960495/amp/Latex-clad-Gimp-Man-weirdo-terrifies-19-year-old-boyfriend-late-night-village-encounter.html    https://inews.co.uk/news/somerset-gimp-spawned-copycats-police-arrest-pvc-man-1949011    YouTube video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qxZNYGKuRqs     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: [email protected] Instagram @ ButItWasAliensPodcast Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.

#150 Yule Pussy - Gryla, the 13 Yule Lads and the Yule Cat of Iceland

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the 13 Yule Lads who may or may not be a bunch of little twats. We also probe their mother, Gryla, who has a cracking schnoz and other features. We also cover a Christmas Cat aka the Yule Cat aka the Cheshire Cat. One of these individuals may come for you at Christmas if you aren’t given any clothing... Can you guess what Spoon Licker does? Along with all of that, we ponder the great debate of whether Santa likes to receive, as well as give?

#149 Alien Visit to Ostankino, Moscow Reported on TV in 1995?

#149 Alien Visit to Ostankino, Moscow Reported on TV in 1995?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe a Mexican probe in to a Russian probe in 1995 whereby a glowing flying saucer may have visited, or even landed, in Ostankino, Moscow. We know this because there is a video but we don’t have the video, but we do have stills from the video, yet we don’t know how they came from the video. Could these photos indeed be depicting a UFO visit, or are they simply depicting the sun? Or is the whole thing a hoax? Or is this a military coverup? Or is this government disinformation to cover up what the military are really up to? There’s a lot but also not too much to this one, ey. Just to be clear, we will be referring to some photos quite extensively throughout this probe (visual evidence, woooo) so you may want to check out our Instagram or Facebook group or at the very least, Google this event so that you can see what we are on about. Alongside the case, we today learn about Moonwalker’s tattoos. We also debate what Moonwalker’s evil methods would be if Moonwalker was a Bond villain… All that and more on this week’s file.   YouTube video of Tercer Milenio coverage: https://youtu.be/83vHBMobAbU    YouTube UFOMania video of this event: https://youtu.be/_fP95haxn7E     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: [email protected] Instagram @ ButItWasAliensPodcast Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.

We opened today with the Showtime theme from Beetlejuice which was composed via Danny Elfman and is a 1988 Tim Burton classic (distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures). We did that, basically, because it was indeed, showtime! As we discussed Goldeneye (the movie and Nintendo 64 classic), we included two themes from the N64 game developed by Rare and composed by Grant Kirkhope, Robin Beanland and Graeme Norgate. Those themes are called elevator b and subterranean caverns.

#147 Four Aliens with a Message - APRO Buenos Aires Analysis of 1968

#147 Four Aliens with a Message - APRO Buenos Aires Analysis of 1968

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe anonymous casino workers (now named Adrian and Susie) whom experienced quite the experience on the night/early morning of the 31st of August, 1968. On the way home, Susie’s car stalled meaning that Susie had to pull out her box. But what was in the box? We never really got to learn about Susie’s abilities with her tools sadly because the casino employees, were interrupted. But what by? Well, this is But It Was Aliens, after all… Whatever these creatures were, they knew that the sun, is, was and will always be the reason for everything. Does this mean that the sun is responsible for global warming? We’ve seen some grim occurrences on this podcast but this case was a little lacking in those similar details which makes us wonder… Was there more to this one then was shared? Finally, our sincerest apologies - Kev was really drunk during this episode (it was recorded straight after his birthday Tequila).

#146 Dybbuk Box

#146 Dybbuk Box

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe a box. No, not that kind of box. We are talking a box full of spirit. A, no, THE, Dybbuk Box. Is this box keeping a spirit from inflicting misery upon those around it? Is this box bringing that spirit in to the world to bring misery to those around it? Was the original owner of the box an exorcist who could save the world, or a hag manifestation of that spirit? Along the way, we get Kev on edge and provide Kev with perhaps the most disgusting experience of his life.

#145 Russia Shoots a UFO

#145 Russia Shoots a UFO

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the occurrences of 1987 whereby Russia fired a missile at a UFO. We know about this one because when Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev lost power in 1991, Soviet Union/KGB documents were leaked to the CIA. But what did these documents uncover? Was it that the Soviet Union were putting lasers on tigers? Or was it that Church and Caboose encountered a UFO. If Church commanded Caboose not to fire at that UFO, would Caboose listen to Church? We’ll of course be finding out. We’ll also be finding out whether there was anything, or anyone, inside that craft. Something so otherworldly that it could turn a person to stone, for example… In addition to the CIA document, we also have some indisputable photographic evidence which we will link to below for your viewing pleasure. All that and more on this week’s file.     The CIA document referred to: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/DOC_0005517761.pdf      Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: [email protected] Instagram @ ButItWasAliensPodcast Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.

This theme was composed by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori and was the theme from Bungie’s Halo: Combat Evolved (and subsequent releases). At the time of recording, 343 Industries are at the helm courtesy of Microsoft and Xbox Game Studios. We also closed out with the credits theme from Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES); a timeless classic by Nintendo released around the world between 1990 - 1992 and composed by the audio genius behind many Nintendo classics, Koji Kondo.

#144 Ronald Rhys and the Little Green Samurai People Over 1856 Wales

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the tale of Ronald Rhys. Ronald, was a farmer. By this point, this podcast has established that farmers are the number one targets of aliens and sadly for Ronald, his experiences would be no different. Even more sadly for Ronald, these aliens utilised a somewhat earthly tool. But they wouldn’t straight up cut the innocent farmer, would they? Would they? Before they get Ronald though, they had to get Ronald. As in pick Ronald up. Or did Ronald just want/need to skip work for a few days and when the word go out as to what Ronald had been up to, one thing led to another? Along the way, we discover some of the most awful things Kev and Granville have done.

#143 Demon’s Buttrope - Angel Hair?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Demon’s Buttrope. Could unusual things in the air and on the floor be explained by aliens, or by Demon’s laying their butt rope? Yes, we are suggesting that demons may be flying above you dropping  silky rope from their butts. The answer lies within France. The answer is known for we have thirty, yes, thirty, witnesses, at Oloron-Sainte-Marie.

#142 The Cornish Owlman of Mawnan

#142 The Cornish Owlman of Mawnan

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the good morning Mawnan Owlman. Morning. Has a giant, menacing half-owl half-human been terrorising the wonderful people of Cornwall since 1926, if not earlier? Is there a monstrous owl at all, or is it a gargoyle protecting its church? If it is an owlman, is the owlman a ballerina? This one made national headlines in the UK and a paranormal investigator would be brought in. Some have connected this case to surrealist painters Max Ernst and Leonora Carrington. Regardless of how the Owlman got here, the most important question is can it be stopped aka how can you stop it (from doing… things)? It goes without saying but we’re gonna say it - this creature is clearly part of an alien civilisation of owl people whom visit the earth. There’s no other way to explain the sightings of owls and strange lights in the sky, in the same area! This legendary tale is the stuff of legends.

#141 Brazilian Bros - Like Candy, Owwwwww

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe twinkle twinkle little star and the Deku Tree. Jocelino and his brother Roberto Carlos were returning home from their sisters one night when a star, begun to follow them. Yes it did. The brothers were compelled towards a tree where they fainted but the job wasn’t done. Hypnotic regression would reveal the true extent of Jocelino’s ordeal. Yes it would. Ow. We’ve seen it all on this podcast so would that ordeal involve getting slabbed, taking reproductive samples, interspecies mating with extraterrestrials, a sex chair, or something else entirely? We’ll give you a clue (yes we will) - the brothers were left walking funny. We like optimism here so perhaps the seed will come alive… All that and more on this weeks file.

#140 Conspiracy of Clapham Wood - Satanic Cult, Aliens, Curse or Mobsters?

#140 Conspiracy of Clapham Wood - Satanic Cult, Aliens, Curse or Mobsters?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the mysterious Clapham Wood. What is a wood? A park? A forest? A wooded area between those two? A boner? Today you’ll find out. What you won’t find out is exactly how big Clapham Wood is because we just don’t know (that’s not part of the mystery). You can complete three mile walks around it but we didn’t include the actual size in the research notes - oops. What you will also find out though is that Clapham Wood has seen it all ranging from missing animals and UFO sightings to satanic cult activity and murder. Are all these mysteries connected and if so, is the connecting tissue that of the extraterrestrial? If a ouija board told you the name of a location, would you visit it or stay the hell away? What if that very same ouija board told you that this location was where you could find aliens? On this podcast we always look to whether there are other less paranormal explanations and this episode is no different, so if not satanic cults and aliens, then what? Quicksand? Does Clapham Wood have a significant mobster presence? Are the horses getting whacked to keep them from talking?

The Fortune Telling House theme and the Lost Woods theme were composed by the genius Kōji Kondō. Also composed by that hero of sound, Kōji Kondō, was 1998’s Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which released on the Nintendo 64 (N64). The themes utilised from that wonderful video game were Temple Of Time and, again, Lost Woods. Because we were covering a wood. Get it?

#139 Roger S and the Room Shifters

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Roger, a ten year old with some unusual experiences. Creatures surrounded Roger’s bed and put Roger on a slab, but did they slab Roger? What they did do, is teach Roger the rules of reincarnation. The creatures also showed Roger that NASA are involved somehow, alongside showing Roger some kind of zoo.

#138 Carlos Mercado’s Big Night Out - Puerto Rico’s Underground Alien Base

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Carlos Mercado’s big night out. In July 1988, Carlos alleges, truthfully, that a group of aliens knocked on his window and offered to take him for a spin. Carlos would see many amazing sights, allegedly truthfully, but following his experiences Carlos did not dare tell a soul. That is, until Carlos experienced another sighting and met some researchers investigating. What type of aliens are being covered today, we hear you ask… It’s SEXY GREYS. Lots of telepathic aliens have been covered on this podcast but what if that’s wrong? What if aliens aren’t telepathic but are actually ventriloquists? What even happened to Carlos anyway? Before all of that, it is debated as to what Moonwalker would do were he to hear the sound of someone breaking in to his home… Screw your coffee table down, folks. Does Greybeard own a turtleneck?

#136 Giant Gnomes - Wauwatosa Night Visitors (naked Legolas)

#136 Giant Gnomes - Wauwatosa Night Visitors (naked Legolas)

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe a couple of Tosser’s aka Tosa’s (we’re British after all). But what happened to these Tosser’s we hear you ask? Well, they just may have been visited by a group of Gandalf Gnomes playing knock and don’t run on the elderly couple’s door. Aka cherry knocking. Aka gnoming, coincidently. You know that to be a true Gandalf the White, you need a staff but what exactly does that staff do? What if you tap the staff twice? Before we really get in to the case though, we cover the important matters in life. For example, what people do when they retire. What does Guardians of the Galaxy’s Groot’s ballsack look like? Do some people really, really enjoy The Lord of the Rings? Like, really. Back on the case, if an unknown and potentially hostile extraterrestrial figure knocks on your door, you probably shouldn’t open wide to confront it but that is exactly what happened in this probe. But why were the Worzel Gummidge Gandalf gnome aliens here? Was this a prank or was this just literally a social visit? Alongside all of that, we ponder… What is the point of porches? Ultimately, does any of this even matter?

The movies were directed by Peter Jackson with music by Howard Shore and we’d like to apologise to everyone involved in the making of these movies for what we came up with in this episode. There was also a tune from show favourite Beetlejuice by Tim Burton called ‘The Book! - Obituaries’ (distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures). This was composed by an absolute genius called Danny Elfman. Finally, there was a track from Kev’s favourite Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode which features The Gentlemen - Hush (season 4 episode 10). This was directed by Joss Whedon. Christophe Beck composed the theme used (which we believe to be called Enter the Gentlemen.

#135 Flashlight Fernandes - he didn’t do much, but still

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe farmer Luis Fernandes who heard a buzzing whilst out for a walk. What was it? Bee? Fly? Wasp? Vibrator? Whatever it was, the object was a grower (from Fernandes’ perspective). After encountering the object, Fernandes was confronted by some creatures who shined a flashlight at Fernandes. Fernandes, became unwell. Very unwell. What actually happened? Along the way, we ponder how walkie-talkie’s were named. But what happened to Donkey?

#134 Is The Loch Ness Monster an Alien? The Saga of B-Otters and B-Eels

#134 Is The Loch Ness Monster an Alien? The Saga of B-Otters and B-Eels

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Scotlands most famous resident, the Loch Ness Monster. There’s of course a lot of visual evidence of Nessie including THAT photo (the Surgeon’s Photograph) but is this evidence honourable and trustworthy? Many believe that the monster is a plesiosaur but is that even possible? This is explored along with other theories. But where did it all begin? Well, this episode covers that too for you see, around 565 CE Saint Columba had what is believed to be the first ever encounter with the Loch Ness monster, at River Ness. Being a saint, would the power of the cross protect Columba? If not a plesiosaur, could Nessie be a buff eel, or a buff otter? What about a Tully Monster and speaking of Tullies, did the historic residents of Atlantis used to ride Tully Monsters? Could dolphins and Nessie be working together using crystals (calling back to a previous episode on dolphins)? Marine biologists will probably be disgusted by what they hear in this episode but sometimes, you’ve just got to open your mind. On the note of opening your mind, what if Pokemon were real and do Magikarp utilise performance enhancing drugs? If you really, really open your mind, just wait until you get a load of what History’s Ancient Aliens think about the origins of the Loch Ness monster… But could these ideas, linked to electromagnetic energies in deep bodies of water, explain the frequency of alien sightings around watery bodies?

There was also a segment whereby we uncovered the truth behind the Surgeon’s Photo in which the backing music to this section was Lurking In The Darkness, a tune from the Square Enix masterpiece Final Fantasy 7. The original soundtrack was composed by Nobuo Uematsu and produced by Uematsu along with Minoru Akao. Alongside that, you may have noticed the wonderful Dire, Dire Docks theme from Super Mario 64 courtesy of Nintendo and composed by legendary Koji Kondo. You know by now that we love to stick in special memories from our childhood and this one is particularly beautiful. On the note of beautiful, as we discussed Zora (again), there was a segment including the Zora’s Domain theme from Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (originally composed by Kōji Kondō).

#133 Is Stranger Things Real? Project Montauk

#133 Is Stranger Things Real? Project Montauk

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the Montauk Project - the alleged real life inspiration behind Stranger Things. This episode gets a little dark in places. In this episode we are talking government shenanigans, we are talking conspiracies, we are talking mind control, we are talking teleportation, we are even talking time travel. We’ve all heard the rumours of America discovering Nazi gold at the end of World War Two, but have you heard the rumours about where America spent the money? Was contact made and technology exchanged with Reptilian aliens? Was Stranger Things’ Eleven really a Montauk Boy experimented upon in The Montauk Chair during a secret exploration of psychological warfare? Did this experimentation manifest creatures from the minds of children or from another dimension and does this explain the Montauk Monster which washed up on the Montauk shore in 2008? Are the U.S. Department of Energy, who own the nearby Brookhaven National Laboratory, to blame? Can we trust what the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, a particle accelerator, is up to (just like CERN)? Or is all of this actually being released by government agencies to cover up the truth of what is going on at these sites, involving nuclear activity or possibly LSD experimentation? This episode connects closely to one of our upcoming Patreon exclusive episodes (at time of recording), the Philadelphia Experiment. This may be among the most confusing and hardest to follow episodes we have yet completed but all that and more on this week’s file.     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: [email protected] Instagram @ ButItWasAliens Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.

#132 Pilot Fires at UFO - The Tehran UAP Incident

#132 Pilot Fires at UFO - The Tehran UAP Incident

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the pilot who fired at a UFO. Would the UFO let that happen though? If you’re going to see a potential friendly, should you take your weapons or would that antagonise the situation? This episode will answer that very question as the case of Major Jafari of the Imperial Iranian Air Force, whom encountered such a dilemma during 1976 in the skies above Iran, is probed. A question that won’t be answered however is whether there is a difference between radar lock and missile lock. This one contains allegedly true evidence and eye witness accounts. Unless it doesn’t. If we’ve learnt anything on this podcast, it’s that when you have a case with legitimate evidence and the military get involved, soon enough people are saying it’s Jupiter and meteor showers but will that be the case here? Along the way we discover what just happens to be Greybeard’s middle name. Plus what is allegedly truthfully Greybeard’s first name.

#131 The Saga of Sid and the Dick Nosed Aliens

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe an extraterrestrial species with an unfortunate nose. This tale begins with a romantic walk along the seaside, an area frequented by seagulls back in 1965 (and also today). Seagulls, with more than chippies, on their mind. Believe it or not, there’s also aliens in this one and they sound extremely intimidating. They look… Well, it’s in the title isn’t it. These things basically look like a real life Waluigi starring in adult films. With looks like this, it couldn’t be made up could it? Or could it?

#130 Indiana Greybeard and the Rhodope Skull

#130 Indiana Greybeard and the Rhodope Skull

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the Rhodope Skull. Kev shares his non-podcast experiences as famed archaeologist Indiana Greybeard, as Kev introduces us to the tale of a skull of an allegedly unexplained origin. Aliens? Predator? Aliens Vs Predator? Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Is life imitating art here as this Bulgarian mystery is explored? There is a lot of evidence in this episode as the origin of this skull is debated. Moonwalker has all sorts of ideas on what the skull could be made of, though Moonwalker may miss the one idea hiding in plain sight (that the skull is made of skull). Is skullduggery afoot? Is Danny Glover real? It’s pondered as to whether this skull is a remnant of the Atlanteans of Atlantis and their genetic experimentation (an outside theory on the Rhodope Skull). When you think about it, that Atlantis theory isn’t too far from the concept of Predators altering DNA to create the ultimate species and now that we mention it, this skull does kind of look like a… If that theory isn’t accurate, could this one actually be explained by secret military activity, or even Nazi military activity? Or land-octopuses? If only we could just get our hands on this skull and undertake some DNA analysis oh wait, somebody did. But just when answers were about to be reached, things became even more mysterious. Can the answers be found in what remains?

There was also a snippet, as is often the case when visions are discussed, of the Fortune Telling House Theme from the The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. This is one of Kev’s favourite themes to include with the game having originally been released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System aka SNES in 1991 (Japan) and 1992 (North America and the United Kingdom/Europe). The music was composed by the legendary Kōji Kondō. Kōji Kondō also composed the very brief treasure sound effect which played when the Rhodope Skull was first discovered, courtesy of 1998’s The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. When discussing the skulls resemblance to Davy Jones from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, there was a section of the ‘Shipwrecks’ theme from Sea Of Thieves courtesy of Rare and Microsoft and composed by musical genius, Robin Beanland.     Article containing many photos of the skull: http://www.soul-guidance.com/houseofthesun/dp09/dp09bulgarian.html

#129 Val Johnson Incident

#129 Val Johnson Incident

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Val John’s patrol of Marshall County Minnesota in 1979. This patrol was unlike any other patrol for Johnson, saw bright lights in the sky. These lights were not stars, unless they were, but then stars don’t damn well collide with cars! Was Johnson a Deputy Sheriff or an Officer? Marshall County Officer Everett Doolittle can talk to the animals and may also have been Deputy Sheriff. Who was the one true Deputy? We don’t know.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the 1926 Maitland Lights. But what if there were more sightings this year? What if they were connected? What if they occurred not just in Brockville, Canada, but in China, Mongolia and the United Kingdom too? Can we prove that numerous sightings that year were connected? Will we even try? One of those connections may be a little-known case from Lancashire, England in the UK during November 1926 - did Henry Thomas get away from whatever Henry saw? Along the way, we ponder what Moonwalker has been guzzling. We also learn a little about prohibition and Harry Houdini (who we have since learned may have been struck before he was prepared). We also, also, explore whether cows lay down when it is going to rain and indeed, whether cows can forecast the weather. Most importantly, who were Nicholas Roerich’s team? Oh and how does all this connect to the Mafia?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe tin foil hats. Or, allegedly truthfully, entirely tin foil creatures. Yes, there may be aliens in this episode but don’t worry, dear probers, because the police are on hand. Not just any police, for today the experience of one police chief, Greenhaw, is covered. On that note, what is the highest rank one can achieve in the police? Regardless, the police are on hand to investigate a case with elements of Home Alone and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Today, some of the most honourable and trustworthy evidence yet covered on the podcast is uncovered. Along the way, some questions pondered include… Do alien eyes work like our own?

#126 Space Penguins of Tuscumbia

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Space Penguins. Are penguins really as cute as many people believe? Possibly not, it turns out. You won’t learn this stuff in Happy Feet! Is it possible that ancient penguins developed space flight and left the earth only to then return many years in the future? How would a tough 1967 SOB farmer react should those Space Penguins return on the farmers land? Would the farmer hide, or try to save the moo moo’s? We head on over to Tuscumbia, Missouri in the United States of America to find out. On this episode we may aka will encounter a new form of alien - the grey-green. Greyeen. When you’re dealing with extraterrestrial entities, violence is never the answer. Or is it?

#125 Jennie Henderson’s Repeat Alien Abduction

#125 Jennie Henderson’s Repeat Alien Abduction

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Jennie Henderson’s lifetime experiences. Jennie was visited repeatedly and we may discover this pretty early on because on this episode, we begin, with hypnotic regression. Correct, this one is definitely allegedly true. Also true is the fact that humans were chased by dinosaurs. Did Jennie go face to face with a grey though? Sadly, this one does include someone being disturbed whilst watching over a child and someone may allegedly truthfully have part of an alien inserted inside of them. Allegedly. Truthfully. This one also has the characteristic of the most legitimate of alien abductions - lost time, babbyyyyyyy. Along with the case, we get distracted (for a change) debating what we really imagine when we think of aliens. Xenomorph? Independence Day? Little green people simply messing with humans one at a time?

#124 Fort Benning - Military UFO Battle or Army Experimentation?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Fort Benning. Before we get to that, we have the giggles so apologies about that, you may want to skip 1 minutes 50 seconds in. Oopsies. Anyhow… Mystery surrounds Fort Benning - some, believe it to be the site of advanced military experimentation but others believe it to be the location of an allegedly true battle between a brave unit of human military and aliens. Private John was a brave, brave solider and would be up to either challenge - taking the bravest of action. If this one was an alien attack, what form of attack would the aliens choose though and would it involve their 4-5? If it was aliens, what is getting ‘slabbed’ and how will an honourable John cope? Can rats astral project other people? This one has a bit of everything - force fields, clones/doppelgängers, a missile fired at a UFO, even JAWS and in a roundabout kind of way, Kevin Smith. Or, was this a case of mass hysteria after military substance experimentation to see what certain drugs would do and how different soldiers would cope? Ultimately, this one may come down to whether John, is honourable and trustworthy… All that and more on this week’s file.     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: [email protected] Instagram @ ButItWasAliens Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.

Mother and daughter were out for a walk in 1988 Birmingham, England, when suddenly there was a loud hum, a flash of light and then Carol and Helen were wet when it was dry. Repercussions included blisters, nose bleeds and discharge - this one had all the trademarks of an alien abduction. But was it really a case of egg-thieves? Along the way, we debate the Rapture.

#122 Blackbeard’s Hole - The Ghost of a Pirate Legend (Blackbeard part 2)

#122 Blackbeard’s Hole - The Ghost of a Pirate Legend (Blackbeard part 2)

The extraterrestrial, or today, paranormal comedy podcast where we finish off probing the worlds most famous pirate, Blackbeard (who isn’t an alien, but may be a ghost). Was Blackbeards life sufficient that his spirit, his ghost, was left behind? Or was it his passing that would both make Blackbeard a legend and leave behind unfinished business? Before we get there, we cover what happened to Blackbeard and Gentleman Pirate Steve Bonnet’s pirate partnership. Would it end in plunder or peril? As we get towards the end of this pirates tale, we discover whether Blackbeard would ever give up his pirates life and accept the Kings Pardon. Could a man like Blackbeard really settle down, marry and live the family life? Never trust a pirate! What would the governors do if Blackbeard didn’t settle down? Or even if he did. The governor of Virginia, Alexander Spotswood, was desperate for his man and breaking a little law here and there was just a price that would have to be paid. There’s a battle coming. When the time finally did come, what were Blackbeards real last words? This one has been a deep, deep investigation. All that and more on this week’s file. OH CROW’S COCK! May we just add, Sea of Thieves is available for FREE on Game Pass (though Kev brought the game day one). With a group of friends this game can give you as much fun as anything made in years, it is truly a joy. There are rumours that Greybeard can be found sailing the seas after one too many rums and will tuck, unbeknownst to other crews, before breaking out in to song during the tensest moments.     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: [email protected] Instagram @ ButItWasAliens Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband. Additional music via: https://freepd.com - thank you most kindly good people. Again, we utilised some Sea of Thieves music in this one, composed by Robin Beanland with the game courtesy of Rare and Microsoft. Themes included ‘Becalmed’ (which has to be played when you sink your ship - them’s the rules), ’Summon the Megalodon’ and ‘Maiden Voyage.’ As stated in this episode, this truly is Kev’s favourite current game and probably in his top 3 of all time (jumbled alongside Super Metroid and Zelda’s Breath of the Wild and A Link to the Past - Kev pleads with you not to make him pick only 3). Kev adores Rare and sincerely hopes that they don’t mind the little snippets. There was also a tiny midi snippet from the Righteous Brothers’ Unchained Melody. This was a midi as we say, just as we discussed the movie but the original song deserves a shout out for helping many a pottery session turn sexual. Finally, there was a midi snippet of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme called He’s a Pirate, which as we said in the first Blackbeard episode was composed in 2003 by Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer (though this was just a midi).

#121 Blackbeard’s Hole - The Ghost of a Pirate Legend (Blackbeard part 1)

#121 Blackbeard’s Hole - The Ghost of a Pirate Legend (Blackbeard part 1)

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe a pirate legend from the Golden Age of Piracy, Blackbeard. Whilst we usually cover aliens, Kev stages an intervention in this episode to try to turn Granville’s souring, skeptical mood by regaling Mr Moonwalker with an actual true tale. A pirates life, if you will? Blackbeard, may have started his life as Edward Thatch before that surname was misspelt as Teach in a Newspaper, later becoming the most popular spelling of this pirates allegedly true name. Blackbeard, is believed to have begun his venture towards the pirate haven of Nassau, New Providence in the Bahamas with Benjamin Hornigold, forming the Pirates Republic before Gentleman Pirate Steve Bonnet, whom Moonwalker suspects he may be related to, landed in the lap of Blackbeard. We cover the pirate life of Blackbeard in detail as Blackbeard sets out to become legend. What were Blackbeard’s most daring deeds? Did Blackbeard stick matches in his hair and if so, did his head burn? We also debate pirate names, which by the way are difficult to come up with ‘on the spot’ - is Probe McButt-Smash even a pirates name? What about Captain Prick? Anyway… Was Blackbeard as fearsome as the legends make out? Were Blackbeard and/or his crew carrying sexually transmitted diseases and would this inspire Blackbeard to commit his most notorious and dastardly act? Do we even get to Teach’s, or Blackbeards Hole today?

Kev’s favourite modern game is Sea Of Thieves (is BOTW modern?) so of course we also had to include some music from this wonderful, joyous game. Thank you Rare - Kev considers becoming a year one Pirate Legend among his greatest achievements in life. The themes we used included ‘Maiden Voyage’ and ‘Shipwrecks’ - this music is courtesy of Microsoft and they will probably make us take this down but we really wanted to include some pirate easter eggs and bring some attention to this amazing game at the same time. Special mention to Robin Beanland whom composed the game music and whom also had a hand in Donkey Kong Country and Conker’s Bad Fur Day back in the day; another two games around Kev’s personal top 10. “I, am, the Great Mighty Poo…” Of course, we had to include the theme tune to Pirates of the Caribbean too, entitled ‘He’s a Pirate’ which was composed in 2003 by Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer for Disney. Again, if Microsoft don’t have our butts and make us remove this, Disney certainly will but it simply felt wrong to do an episode on pirates without the famous pirate theme.

There was also a UFO. Is this a Predator visiting? More importantly, why do aliens visit farms? Is it for the fertiliser? Does this explain why cows also go missing (for their cow poops)?

#119 Tomino’s Hell - Cursed Japanese Poem

WARNING: We allegedly truthfully read a real Japanese cursed poem during todays episode.   The paranormal comedy podcast where we probe sweet little Tomino as they allegedly truthfully journey in to hell. But why? Or is this all some kind of twisted metaphor? Before that, Kev gives Granville the choice that Kev, never, had, because yes indeed folks, it is Moonwalkers birthday 2022. Will Moonwalker decide to be brave and read the Japanese curse out aloud, or will Moonwalker choose to take a shot instead? Is there even a choice at all? In this episode we cover what Mr Moonwalker would choose to say to the world of the living, if he were in the world of the deceased. We then move on to discover what would happen once this old Japanese cursed poem, originally written down on paper, was translated and released on to the internet. This one does leave us with some questions. For example, who even was Tomino? How severe is the curse? Does Kev want Moonwalker dead? All that and more on this week’s file.   For those interested, Granville’s rules for this episode were as follows: If G didn’t read the curse when given the choice, G had to do a shot If G was overconfident and did read the curse, G had to do shots for being overconfident (the choice segments would become shot segments) and the first shot was Tequila. After the tequila (if G was overconfident), G had to do 2 shots at every segment Either way, G was doing shots but his destiny was in his own hands That may be confusing so to summarise, G had to do a shot for being cautious or two shots for being too brave.   David Bowles 2014 rendering of Tomino’s Hell as mentioned: https://davidbowles.us/poetry/tominos-hell-by-saijo-yaso/      Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: [email protected] Instagram @ ButItWasAliens Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.

Pimp yo Garden - The Amaranth UFO

Pimp yo Garden - The Amaranth UFO

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe a pimped out UFO (which probably wasn’t pimped out). Back in ‘82 in Laxou, France, a man saw a ufo. A man, with a camera. Do we have reliable evidence today? Allegedly truthfully, we may… Along the way we also discover whether aliens fly cars. “Ay yo dawg, you want a goldfish in that car?” We had to cut about 20 minutes of Xzibit quotes out of this episode and the episode still mainly consisted of Xzibit quotes. Did the aliens pimp their rides? Regardless, this one was serious enough to involve the police and we encounter some evidence that simply can’t be explained (but also may have a simple explanation). But would this one turn out to have a more nefarious explanation overall, relating to Henri’s garden preferences?

Fanged Humanoids Visit 1975 Japan

Fanged Humanoids Visit 1975 Japan

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe a space orangutan ball-bag bat judo techno Dracula. We know on this podcast that children, never, lie, so how do we explain what the children we meet today saw in Japan? Why would an orangutan wear a silver suit? Who’s the whinier little turd - Harry Potter or Voldemort? Is Tinkerbell involved? Is Jabba the Hutt involved? Meanwhile, this episode questions who the aliens are if you land on another planet - who are the ‘lings? I suppose that we should also allude to what this episode actually covers… Two Japanese children may or may not have allegedly truthfully seen an orange/silver UFO. A flying saucer, if you will.

This was conducted by Mr Williams along with William Ross, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. Magical. Harryyyyyyyyyyyy. Finally, during our Mortal Kombat discussion (Kev 1 - 0 Granville) the Mortal Kombat theme accompanied this segment. We’ve mentioned before that we’re not entirely sure on the credits for this song. The internet tells us that this theme is called Techno Syndrome and was written by Oliver Adams, published via Virgin Records but as always, if that is not accurate, our sincerest apologies. Mr Moonwalker absolutely loves that franchise but please Mr Boon and company, don’t mess with Kung Lao.

Cow Fiddler of Cherry Creek

Cow Fiddler of Cherry Creek

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Harold Butcher. We visit a dairy farm in New York, New York during 1965 as Harold squeezes on some teets. Udderly delicious. But what interrupted this moment and was it an air bus? What would the police do if they became involved? What about the Air Force? Enter Captain James A. Dorsey and his special piece of equipment. Operation Blue Book picked this one up but will the big timers believe it? Well, moderately big timers. Average timers. Ok ok, the little guys. Along the way we wonder who you’d rather see getting jacked by a milking machine? Can a Bull be milked? Do Bulls get jealous?

Aliens Hack Television Broadcasts - Vrillon of Ashtar Galactic Command and Max Headroom’s buttocks

Aliens Hack Television Broadcasts - Vrillon of Ashtar Galactic Command and Max Headroom’s buttocks

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Vrillon, a representative of Ashtar Galactic Command. We also probe Max Headroom’s bare buttocks. We’ve covered Ashtar before and this is where it led us. If aliens were to make contact with humanity, would it be through radio and television? What happened to Max Headroom once his butt was out? Before all that, we ponder for what reason an individual may take a magazine and venture in to a bush. We also wonder why aliens bring messages of peace around human weaponry - can the aliens see the future or have they just experienced similar in their own past? Moonwalker ponders how aliens may make contact and decides that he has a message for all the aliens unwilling or unable to clearly present themselves to humans… All that and more on this week’s file.   YouTube video of Vrilllon’s broadcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VMyRbCLbxE    Wikipedia Vrillon page - broadcast interruption transcript: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Television_broadcast_interruption#Transcript    Youtube video of the Max Headroom Doctor Who hack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjeUuakHsLw&t=1s     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: [email protected] Instagram @ ButItWasAliensPodcast Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.

Utsuro-Bune - Japanese UFO of 1803

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Japanese fishermen who allegedly truthfully encountered a strange object. The object, was carrying a mysterious female potentially not of this earth. An extraterrestrial origin you see, is the only possible explanation for red hair. This one gets a little bit fishy in plaices as Kev puns himself out. As the tale moves on, an old man comes, to see what all the fuss is about and develops a theory. The old man knew that there was only one way to deal with these types of incidents… Is this case connected to the Rendlesham Forest incident? Does Japan have a nip-on? Who put a toe in who?

Ashtar, the Integratron and George Van Tassel - Original Alien Contactee

Ashtar, the Integratron and George Van Tassel - Original Alien Contactee

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Ashtar. Well, more specifically, we probe George Van Tassel, a potential origin of the contact movement. Despite what Mr Moonwalker will have you believe, this man may have been the precursor to all. Well, Van Tassel may not have been the first to see UFO’s as such, but he may have been the first to hear from them. Allegedly truthfully. Or would it turn out that Van Tassel is full of BS? What would Van Tassel do if other people claimed to hear from Ashtar? What is the Integratron? Did Van Tassel and George Adamski cross paths? Before all that, we learn about the best tools to use if you’re carving out delicate rooms underground. Moonwalker teaches us a new allegedly truthful fact about tortoises. We also uncover The Rock Dwayne Johnson’s final form (because The Rock is a Pokemon obviously).

Carroll f’n Watts aka Kevin and his Wife - Texas Bullet Craft of 1967

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Carroll f’n Watts, a farmer whom isn’t a Tiger King. Carroll, may have had some extraterrestrial visitors. We head back to March 1967 as Carroll heads towards some unusual lights in an abandoned farm. What would happen? This one may involve a bullet-shaped object - something mechanical in nature. A rigorous physical examination may or may not take place. Later, or perhaps earlier, the Air Force hear of this one and take action - things get serious. Sort of. Does Moonwalker fill in gaps in the narrative? What was Kevin up to in Vegas in 1967.

Supersonic Spheres of Wales

Supersonic Spheres of Wales

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Supersonic Spheres sighted by many witnesses in Wales. Allegedly. Before we’ve barely introduced the location of todays events (Great Orme/Little Orme), Moonwalker shares some personal woes in the first five minutes. Then as the probe begins, we explore what happened to a family driving down a long and lonesome road. Why would this family incur the wrath of the RAF? What was there a bug? If so, was it a bug of earthly or extraterrestrial origin, or was it a peppercorn? Only the dentist knows. After 1997, we pop back to 1982 and you know that Moonwalker has issues when we head back to ’82. We also touch base in 2015 so this one gets around. You know what that means? Loads of credible evidence. This place is clearly a hot bed of UFO activity (Wales, that is - Greybeard definitely didn’t get confused with a previous probe).

As we revisited a joke from two episodes ago (Tribute), we had to include a tiny instrumental snippet playing Tribute from Kyle Gass and Jack Black’s band Tenacious D (the first single from their self-titled 2001 album). The song continues to be part of Epic labels catalogue and was produced by the Dust Brothers. We encourage you to play it via all good streaming platforms and ROCK! There was also a snippet of an instrumental midi version of Dentist from Little Shop Of Horrors, a musical and 1986 movie that we occasionally reference. We were discussing a dentist so we felt that reference had to be made.

The Symes - Attack of the Bop It

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe The Symes. But more importantly, we probe Bop It. A flying football, some would say. But not us, for we are sure that this case involves an alien Bop It. How do you complete Bop It? This question leads down a dark and immature pathway in to the meaning of bop. Let’s bring the word ‘bop’ back! So, urm, yeah… We got really hung up on Bop It today. Anyway, this one entails something metallic in the sky. What could it be? Are the Symes, being watched? Ultimately, this one comes down to whether we’d put our reputation on the line for a John?

Igor Terzic, Barry Macdonald and an Orange Light (Tribute)

Igor Terzic, Barry Macdonald and an Orange Light (Tribute)

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Igor Terzic. We also probe Barry Macdonald. Are the tales of these two gentlemen connected? Before that though, we get sidetracked on the facts of Glasgow and the worlds biggest drinking bars. We then get back to Igor, in the middle, of the road… On that note, did Igor drive a 1967 Shelby GT and is this a lovely motor or a pile of rusting trash? Whilst taking this ride, we also ponder whether Moonwalker would make love to a car and whether Greybeard is the Butt Smasher (of House Butt Smash - remember the previous episode). Just to add folks, we are aware that whales don’t really have huge gaping butts. We know whales do mushy scale 5-6 poops and we don’t really think that a human could be digested, pass through and come out of a whale whole. But Moonwalker could. We mean my gosh, have you seen the man? Knight Rider somehow comes up as we move on and we ask you, loyal probers, will Moonwalker review the whole series? We have some time left over after Igor vanishes so we then briefly covered Barry Macdonald and a sighting Barry was able to record due to going on a secluded wander with his lady-friend and coincidently having a video camera set up and ready to go. There’s nothing suspicious there, folks. We watched the UK television show footage courtesy of GMTV before drawing our conclusions.

Of course, as we parodied the story we couldn’t resist an instrumental snippet from Kyle Gass and Jack Black’s rocking band Tenacious D’s first single from their self-titled 2001 album, Tribute. Which is not the greatest song in the world, no, it’s just a tribute. That song resides under Epic labels catalogue and was produced by the Dust Brothers. Check it out on all good streaming platforms, what a song! A bit of trivia for our UK listeners - Tribute was never actually released as a single in the UK despite its massive air time and popularity. Alongside that there was an ever so brief snippet from Mario Kart 64’s Toad’s Turnpike courtesy of Nintendo (and composed by Kenta Nagata) as we discussed traffic coming towards Igor. We also included, mainly for Moonwalker’s benefit, a snippet of the Stuart Phillips composition, the theme from 1980’s television staple Knight Rider starring David Hasselhoff. Wikipedia also lists Glen A. Larson as a composer of that iconic theme.

Eat your Vegetables - Green Children of Woolpit and the Georgia Stalks

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe two mysterious green children who turned up, unexplained, in Woolpit, Suffolk. The 1100’s aren’t the best-recorded of times but this tale is recorded none the less. Where did these young children come from? Why were they green? Was it BROAD BEANS? Do forest people exist? If not, why don’t these children like pizza? Is this case evidence that you are indeed what you eat? Have you ever heard of an undercow? There’s a lot of learning to be had on this episode as we explore theories of the extraterrestrial, parallel universes, an underworld, forest folk, Planet X, underwater civilisations aka Wakandawater and people from other earthly lands. Ever heard of House Butt Smasher? After all of that, we briefly cover Fred Reagan and the Georgia Stalks - peculiar aliens of which information is scarce. Anyone fancy some asparagus?

Hamilton: (Not) An Extraterrestrial Musical

Hamilton: (Not) An Extraterrestrial Musical

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Alexander Hamilton. No, not that one. This one, you haven’t heard of because this is a probe we have not done. Well, we have because you’re reading the show notes for it, but we hadn’t. Alexander Hamilton, his name was Alexander Hamilton, an honourable and trustworthy pillar of the Leroyyyyyyyyyy community in 1897. But the question is, when Hamilton’s cow was taken, would Hamilton throw away his shot? Or do we mean axe? This case has some of our favourite UFO features - a craft, cow abduction… Well, that’s it really. Oh and a bloody good alternative hypothesis. We love these olden times cases. Were locals experimenting on cows with… Gas… Urm… Nope. I refuse to put that theory down in writing. A more credible thought - do cows know karate? Hamilton was so honourable that he was vouched for by a dozen further honourable and trustworthy citizens, but were they in the field where it happened? If you want to know what happened, you better be willing to wait for it.

This was composed by Nobuo Uematsu and produced by Uematsu and Minoru Akao. The Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack was released on 10/02/1997 and later re-released directly by Square Enix on 10/05/2004. A special thank you, the most special thank you for this episode in fact, must go to Lin-Manuel Miranda as well as the Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton (via Atlantic Records) for both their music and the inspiration for massive chunks of this episode (especially that closing number). Thank you. If by some peculiar series of events any of those involved in the production of Hamilton ever stumble across this podcast episode, we sincerely hope that you enjoyed our take and were not offended in any way, shape or form by this alien parody because we love Hamilton.

Check last weeks episode if this is your first time joining us because this episode is part 2 of a two-parter in to a couple, called, Stoner. We see where the rabbit hole (or is that whole) goes. Will Moonwalker explain Humpty Dumpty? How does this case connect to a sex-chair? On that note, what is a sex-chair? Did grandad throw a pigskin a quarter mile? Sex-chair. I wonder if you Google sex-chair, one day this episode will show up in the results? Anyhow… A tall, skinny figure with skinny arms. That can’t be anything but aliens, right? Three shades of alien.

A Stoners Tale

We begin todays episode in West Virginia with Humpty Dumpty and an incredible memory. There is also an incredibly calm Grand Papa who has seen it all. Apologies for getting sidetracked back in ‘82 on this one. Anyway... Denise Stoner, would recall much of todays case via hypnotic regression with Kathleen Marden. Lost time. Mysterious lights. Jelly-like substances. Creatures not of this world. Links to earlier probes. This one has it all. One question that pops up today though… Are aliens blue da ba dee da ba daaai?

German Sky War - Nuremberg UFO Battle of 1561

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the allegedly truthful space battle in the skies above Nuremberg, Germany in 1561. But before that, we learn the REAL words to Prince’s classic, Purple Rain, along with the dangerous and horrid Purple Rain drinking game. Don’t do it, folks. Anyway…  We begin the actual case today with a bang. Well, more of a pop (and we’re not talking about Moonwalkers balls). Because we have some visual evidence. Evidence of a possible war above Earth which definitely couldn’t have been between Earthlings. So was this an alien battle? Or was it actually a warning from God? A demonstration of God’s wrath should their people not be honourable and trustworthy. Or were more natural forces at play? Meanwhile, tune in and you can learn all about the allegedly truthful 1500’s German farm, Farm Farm. Finally, a question… Are Greybeard and Moonwalker honourable and trustworthy enough to wield Excalibur or the Master Sword?

Of course, when mentioning Lon Lon Ranch we had to sneak in the Lon Lon Ranch theme from from 1998’s The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, composed by Kōji Kondō. Later on, we also attached some Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past music also by Kōji Kondō - the Lost Woods, Master Sword and Hyrule Overworld themes. This accompanied our discussion of pulling the Master Sword, or Excalibur, from its resting place. What a moment. Before that however, because it just felt right, we opened today’s case with a clip of the Prelude theme from the wondrous Fantasy 7 original soundtrack, composed by Nobuo Uematsu and produced by Uematsu alongside Minoru Akao. During Moonwalker’s button-popping strip, we utilised a very quick snippet from The Stripper instrumental by David Rose, recorded originally in 1958 and courtesy of label MGM. We obviously don’t own the rights to this and used a quick clip as part of a self-satirical section, please don’t send your agents for us.

Stonehenge and George O’Barski 1975

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe George O’Barski’s Stonehenge sighting. No, not that Stonehenge. The other one. The apartment complex in New Jersey. Before we get in to that we cover whether it would be wise to have a Predator as a pet. This one starts out like any typical sighting but rather than run and hide, George decided to get in closer to probe. George was greeted by the sight of… Lifeforms. Were the lifeforms seen in todays episode Alakazam’s? Or Tonberry’s? On that note, what do Tonberry’s eat? Another question asked today is whether a glass window can shatter on its own? How does this relate to Moonwalker being probed? Yes, today we cover the fact that Moonwalker has definitely been probed. The case we cover today has had MUFON and CUFOS all over it. But why didn’t it make national headlines?

Nintendo’s Pokemon theme was also snuck in today - thank you to Nintendo, Game Freak and the original composer Junichi Masuda from whom’s work the Pokemon series music grew - another franchise that enlightened our childhood and which we reference regularly on the show. We couldn’t resist sticking in a snippet from the Final Fantasy 7 original soundtrack, Let The Battles Begin, composed by Nobuo Uematsu and produced by Uematsu and Minoru Akao. Because we’d utilised that, later on we snuck a second clip from the soundtrack entitled Lurking In The Darkness. Finally, because we got all nostalgic after the other two themes, the sad Aerith’s Theme was also included at the end. To this day this one still hits us right in the feels. The Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack was released on 10/02/1997 and later rereleased directly by Square Enix on 10/05/2004. This Playstation game is in almost everybody’s top 5 video games of all time list so thank you, Square Enix, on behalf of the world. Just before Aerith’s Theme, whilst Mulder’ing up, the famous X-Files tune from the television series played. The famous instrumental, usually known as ‘The X-Files’ was composed by Mark Snow. Thank you to Mark Snow and also show creator Chris Carter - whilst we parody at times, the show was a huge inspiration for this podcast as well as much of the modern paranormal field in general.
