Is our planet an atom in a giant's universe? Is water the ghost of ice? All of these questions you can find the answer to ON THIS PARANORMAL LIFE! Oh, Jesus! You alright there, bud? I actually wasn't even a bit, I just, I strained my voice actually. Is everything okay, bud?

Everything's fine. Welcome, welcome everyone to This Paranormal Life, I strained my voice, actually. Is everything okay, bud? Everything's fine. Welcome. Welcome, everyone, to This Paranormal Life, the comedy paranormal podcast, where every week we investigate a brand new tale, case, claim, beast, and come to a conclusion as to whether or not it is, in fact, paranormal. You're goddamn right. My name is Rory Powers. I'm joined by Kit Greer.

We are two professional paranormal investigators. We've been in the field since Bigfoot was Littlefoot. You know? We're no strangers to the world of the paranormal. That's right. You show me a ghost? I knew that motherfucker when he was alive. That's how long we've been doing this thing for, okay?

I'm hunting my granddad at this point. Already? I'm really excited to be here today kit because uh i can't state enough how huge of a case it's going to be today really this is a big one and we've done big ones in the past before we've done roswell yeah we've done the chupacabra sure we've done spring hill jack done them all nothing nothing we've done in 150 episodes could prepare you for what's about to happen today i mean we've had some pretty salacious episodes we've had uh neil armstrong hunting for aliens a personal highlight nothing that's a nursery rhyme compared to what's about

to come all right we got an email from brenna who saiditten Rory, I've been obsessed with TPL for a few months now, and I look forward to the new episode every week. She continued to write about the sort of case that you hear about once in a lifetime. Wow, just dropped a bombshell. The kind of case that once you hear about it, it's all over, folks. It's all over. Shut up, shop. Tell your wife and kids bye-bye. You ain't seeing papa anymore. Throw the phone in the lake. It's all over. Shut up, shop. Tell your wife and kids bye-bye.

You ain't seeing papa anymore. Throw the phone in the lake. It's gone. Imagine winning the lottery, but instead of getting money, you get punched in the back of the head by a wizard. It turns your brain to goo. That doesn't sound good. It's not good.

It's a curse. This episode is a curse. How is it like the lottery like i've been inflicted because money is is is power and power is a curse definitely not wrong you just got it so backwards also did you say this episode was a curse and i think you were about to say you wanted to pass on the curse to me and our listeners if so i'm out i maybe I don't want to know. And sure, even though I said this is a case you hear about once in a lifetime, we also had it requested by Amanda Centers, Julian Hug, Paul Stankowski. Okay, so a lot of people know about it.

I'm excited to get into it. And this case is long too. Long and powerful like an elephant's d***. We're going to be moving fast. And I will not, I repeat, I will not be repeating myself. You just, never mind. Before I start, I want to make a huge shout out to the documentary Westall. That's a little clue into what we're talking about today.

Okay. Wow, the curtain just dropped actually. Shit. Documentary called Westall 66, a suburban UFO mystery by Shane Ryan. This was not only a great documentary to watch regarding this case, it was also just a great documentary. And a lot of the clips and things we're going to be talking about today are going to be from this documentary. All right, look, I feel like I've bigged this case up enough at the start of the episode. We just need to get into it. Let's do it. Our journey today into the unknown brings us to Westall High School in Victoria's Clayton South, Australia.

The year is 1966, and it's a sunny day, April morning. Stores open for business, cars drive to work, and of course, the local children get ready for another day of school. But those children didn't realize that today, April 6th, would be a day they'd never forget. This day, the 6th of April? Don't take it so lightly, kids. It's about to f*** up your life. It was 11am, and Westall High School student Graham Simmons was in science class mixing chemicals to produce the crystalline material when he glanced out the window and noticed

something in the air. Something he'd never seen before. It looked like a circular object gliding in the sky. In another classroom, children were studying silently during their morning lessons when all of a sudden, a student burst through the door, slamming it behind him. He was out of breath, scared, and looked like he'd witnessed something terrible. Can I help you? The teacher said. The child was described as looking, quote, hysterical. Wow. He started screaming. There's a flying saucer outside. There's a flying saucer outside the school. was described as looking, quote, hysterical. Wow. He started screaming,

There's a flying saucer outside! There's a flying saucer outside the school! Noise in the class began to build. Yeah, you can't just yell out in a school and expect everything to remain calm. Yeah, the shit is going to hit the fan. Usually, you know, if you walk into a random classroom and say, like, you know, There's a fight in the playground!

Sorry, my Australian accent is a little tight. It's going gonna be evened out by the end of the episode thank you man but by the time we're done it's gonna be incredible sorry i thought it was perfect mate oh my god with chris hemsworth in the room right now the very same yeah usually if a kid go comes in and says you know there's a fight in the playground. That's enough to stir up commotion. If you say, there's a UFO out there and Hitler's alive and the devil just walked through the gymnasium, you know, anything like that, you're going to stir up a riot. You're damn right. It's also, what did you say, 1966?

1966. So we're probably in peak UFO hysteria mode globally. Oh, yeah. People go crazy for this. Roswell is recent goddamn history. And that's what happened. The kids start to chatter, students whispering, some laughing, others got up to run to the windows

and see what was happening. The teacher cried out, All right, all right, sit down. Class has just started. Everyone back to your seats. But that's when the bell started ringing. Oh, I guess it, I thought it was, I thought the class just started everyone back to your seats but that's when the bell started ringing or i i guess it i thought it was i thought the class just started but maybe actually f**k it the bell's

usually right so go play kids it'd be great if the teacher was like he's obviously full of s**t everyone get back to your seats the class has just only started bell rings oh jesus christ the little bugger was telling the truth the ufo bell oh jesus every man for himself it's like pushing kids out of the way he gets out he takes a loaded shotgun from underneath his desk why did you have that there this is when it all started outside the classroom the whole school was in panic children running down the halls, teachers trying to regain control, students pouring outside to

see what was going on. Terry Peck, a student at the time, said that she was outside and heard a student cry out, Look, it's a flying saucer! That was a bit, that wasn't really Australian, that was like Cockney. It was like Victorian English.

Sweep your chimney, sir chimney sir look it's a flying flying saucer look it's a flying saucer that's that's all right that's good look it's a flying saucer it just gets worse when you do it it's hard isn't it please don't take any offense to this uh any of our australian listeners this is you know with the purest heart, we are doing these impressions. I'm seeing the figures live here. They're dropping off hard, but we need to get this story out. And we need to do it historically accurate. When she turned around, she saw a silver disc flying in full view low over the school. Oh my God.

But it wasn't just one disc. Witnesses reported seeing a number of discs moving at impossible speeds at strange angles. A number of children collapsed in fright. Jesus Christ. Others burst into tears, stating later that they believed they were witnessing the end of the world. This is like, normally when we have a UFO sighting, there's a singular craft. sighting there's a singular craft even like in the zimbabwe similar stories zimbabwe ufo incident where a single ufo visited a primary school yeah it was terrifying but that was one craft in this story we have a star wars level dog fight imperial ships hyperspace jumping into

sight of this school and also you know usually these cases, it's the middle of night. It's some like drunk-ass farmer in the middle of butt-f*** nowhere. And the UFO is like a little speck in the distance. These sons of bitches are Tokyo drifting around the school. They don't care.

They're just in full view. And it wasn't just the children who were seeing these discs. The adults were witnessing it too. When teacher Claude Miller made it out into the yard, he bumped into the science teacher, Andrew Greenwood, who was pale-faced, looking stunned, almost teary-eyed. Andrew simply said,

Did you see it? As he pointed upwards to the sky. Chemistry teacher Barbara Robbins was another teacher who had seen the discs and immediately ran inside grabbed her camera and began taking as many pictures as possible barbara's in the right headspace she's already it's like playing chess she's already five moves ahead she's like i see a ufo she's playing 3d chess they're gonna take 3d chess where the queen is a is a flying saucer that can abduct pawns and all the pawns are the school children and like you don't care about if pawns get killed or abducted obviously exactly as long as you win the game and the other the other brooks

and knights the other teachers they're like what's going on man whereas barbara she's just like a stone cold soldier just goes straight inside doesn't even grab the shotgun goes straight to evidence exactly so when the mib show up and be like you didn't see anything checkmate she goes ah i've got pictures queen to this spot double checkmate i don't play a lot of chess. I don't know how it works. I think that's accurate. Sunk your battle shit, asshole. They taser immediately and just take the camera. Oh! They're like, you shouldn't have told us you had this.

That was a huge... You play 3D chess and you just told us you had a camera? We play 4D chess. The children and staff watched in absolute awe as the strange craft hovered across the school, eventually dropping down behind a row of pine trees just outside the school ground.

Now the children, still excited, took off in its direction, trying to see what was going on as the teachers cried for them to come back. Kids! Stop! The f*** is an australian accent dude stop no one talks like that oh it's really hard it's hard to do just two words i know because then you start to like really analyze it way too much kids stop stop Stop. That sounds weird. Stop.

You have to put it in a whole sentence. Crikey dingoes. Kids, stop. Yeah, it's kind of. It is. It is right. Yeah, it's just. It just sounds weird by itself.

I'm so sorry. All our listeners from Australia. Kids, stop. Get back here. You're not allowed out of school grounds. One more pass on the last sentence me okay from now on i'm not redoing any lines they're just how they sound get back here you're not allowed out of school grounds don't you laugh at me this is hard there's so much more to come i don't want to take the tension out of this story because this is a no no don't worry bro no one everyone's taking it super

serious all right no one's no one's so much as giggling okay because i really i put a lot of work into this and i wrote the script and stuff and i don't want the whole accent thing to kind of derail it and people don't i don't want people to think about this episode and think oh yeah the one with the weird accent no we want them to think about the case the ufos we want 2020 u.s president bernie sanders to play this to congress as evidence of ufos exactly and it's pretty embarrassing if he hits play at that point so i just want to make sure that we just nail the accent going forward. But it was no use. A number of children managed to jump the fence and took off into the woods following the strange objects in the sky unaware of the dangers ahead. Oh no kids. One of the girls Jacqueline

Argent said that her friend Tanya and another girl were running through the woods to where they believed the object had landed. She tried to keep up, but her friends were too fast, and she started to lose them between the trees. Tanya! Tanya! Where'd you go? And then... A whooshing sound as Jacqueline saw the craft rise back up into the sky, turn side-on, and then silently disappear into the horizon. Silently disappear? Yeah. Whoa. Students and teachers stood on the spot in absolute shock, not knowing if the objects would return or what would

happen next. A large number of students who made it to where the craft had apparently landed mentioned a huge patch of flattened yellow circular grass kit what are your thoughts so far rory we've gone zero to a hundred real quick not just one like we say but a number multiple ufo sightings all in the same place all at once verified by multiple sources yeah trustworthy source as, women, and children. Teachers. They teach. They tell people things.

Truth. They know at least a little bit. So for them to go on the line and say that this truly happened is pretty amazing right off the bat. Plus, to get this up-close and personal testimony from Jacqueline herself, that's pretty interesting.

Not to mention this supposed physical evidence of the dead grass underneath where they landed. Exactly. Normally that happens when something lays for a long time, right? But obviously maybe the heat or something. The radiation. Maybe, God forbid. Who knows?

Well, if you thought that we had a lot to deal with so far, I don't know how you're going to handle what's coming next, buddy. The teachers managed to wrangle the kids back to school and calm everyone down. Whatever it was, whatever had happened, at least it was gone. But this day was only beginning. A number of children started complaining that they were feeling ill. And before they knew it, children were passing out cold in a panic teachers called the emergency services hello we need an ambulance pronto the kids have been poisoned by a flying saucer please get here quick that guy lost his job like that that's the kind of thing as soon as you make that phone call there's like a red dot on your forehead.

There's a man in the bushes waiting for the okay to take you out. So the ambulances arrived at the school and began to try to figure out what the hell was going on with these kids. Jacqueline, who we mentioned earlier, was one of the girls who had ran towards the craft with her friend Tanya. When they arrived back at the school, Tanya dropped to the floor. Tanya. When they arrived back at the school, Tanya dropped to the floor. There was definitely an ambulance on the oval and I was told that she'd been taken away in the ambulance and that was the last time I ever saw her. Wow. She was just gone and she never came back to school. Tanya never came back? She disappeared. That is a mess up. They picked her up in the ambulance, drove her away, she never came back. She either tragically died or she knew too much, one of the above. I'm gonna go ahead and say they didn't bring her to a hospital for a start. It seems like the kind of thing they picked her up,

went right past the hospital straight to some sort of secret military cave and just dissected her on the spot. They took her to the one place where no one would ever believe her, a North Korean labor camp in Siberia. She can yap all she wants in that Australian accent about UFOs but she's just gonna have to keep shoveling coal. There's only one place an ambulance should take you to and it's the hospital. Yes you anything else is a breach of this is paranormal it's absolutely paranormal i mean if you're in the the back of the ambulance you know with like the nurse who's uh helping you out you've got all you've got the ivs in you yep and you're looking out the window and you see the turnoff for hospital just you and you go right by it and you're like oh um miss are we going to a better

hospital by any chance you turn to the right the nurse doesn't have any pupils pure white eyes you're in trouble pal terminator style one red eye in fact you need to start grabbing syringes and swinging them wildly because if you don't stop that ambulance you're dead and of course it wasn't only the students and teachers of the school that had witnessed the crafts paul smith a local market gardener was a nearby civilian who had also watched in disbelief as this strange craft touched down by the school. He said, here we go again, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. At first I thought someone had some sort of way of projecting an image on the sky, but my boss and my whole team of workers saw it clear as day. Interesting. I never would have

thought of that, but that's interesting. like that description it's so it's so colorful and um specific that it really helps paint a picture of what it must have been like to witness something like to see something literally impossible happen before your eyes yeah and this is how you try and justify it you know it's a lot it's a lot more interesting than like i saw something that looked like a plane yeah it's he obviously saw something that was so supernatural that this was the only way his brain could kind of digest it. It was like, is a film? I guess. Yeah.

It's really interesting. I swear to God, if someone later in this story claims that this is some military technology, this is all guess it's some you know it's coming chinese experimental stealth craft f**k you okay for saying they have that technology in 1966 i'm sorry f**k them for saying that i'm just calling out in advance someone if someone has the gall to say that and contradict what this good gentleman said it's okay well this good gentleman said that uh it looked like a movie being it's okay well this good gentleman said that it looked like a movie being projected exactly okay so i don't know are you mad at him no i'm mad at the the narcs who are i who i just can feel it are gonna come in and say that this didn't

really happen all right i just believe this guy is what i'm saying hey i believe i'm right there with you i'm right there i'm just getting fired up i'm sorry you have no idea how fired up we we are about to explode we are two men about to detonate in this podcast studio it's about to get weird in here because as i've said i think at the start of every paragraph so far we're only getting started there's right at home right now there's there's some people out there who are the true ufo believers yeah we need them to get fired up right now, there's some people out there who are the true UFO believers. We need them to get fired up right now. Yeah. To crank up the volume and just get ready.

Around 20 minutes after the craft had disappeared, things started to escalate. Trucks of military personnel arrived at the school, around 20 men at least. But the strangest part was at the time, there were no deployable troops in Melbourne. These men, whoever they were, weren't regular military. Back at the school, it was chaos. Police cars and press had surrounded the building. Students were being filed into classrooms. Teachers were being brought into meetings with men in suits,

being told to tell the kids that what they saw simply didn't exist is that for real yeah this is all for real let's hold i shouldn't have to specify that after a point all of this is for real i know we've kind of abused your trust over the years listeners yeah by saying a bunch of shit and then at the end saying none of it really happened yeah but this time it's for real. That's right. The world of the paranormal is built on giving people second chances. All right?

Think about the little boy who cried wolf. Sure. If they had believed him every single time, he wouldn't have died. Right. And that was the moral of the story. But if they had have listened to him, they would have known the wolf was there at the first time. While walking the halls of the school, one of the teachers spotted Barbara Robbins, the teacher who had taken the photographs of the craft.

We weren't allowed to leave the school, at least I wasn't. My job was to walk up and down the corridors and make sure that all students were in their rooms. I was walking back from the West End. There was confrontation between Mr. Sambleby, Barbara Robbins, and a man I'd never seen before. I thought it was a police uniform, but it was just dark blue. It was demanded that she hand over, not the film, but the entire camera. It's exactly what we were afraid of. This is red flags everywhere.

They're coming in, they're ganking evidence, they're denying the truth, they're shutting down kids, they're not listening to them. The kids are pulling their little trouser legs going, oh, there's a, we saw the wolf, we saw the wolf. And they're like, f*** off, you little rat. I'm the law and I say the wolf doesn't exist.

Will Smith is there sunglasses on, neuralising child after child, wiping their... their already blank little heads. Exactly, it's like goddamn photo day. They're all lined up to get in the booth. Uh oh, now they don't remember algebra. Back to P1 with you, you goddamn 18-year-old. And then, you know, the guy who was working the neuralyzer was like, all right, that's everyone. And then an even bigger man in black turns around and goes, almost everyone. Neuralyzes him.

And then he goes to the meeting and they're like, did you get him? He's like, that's right. Everyone's been taken care of. And then like a colonel turns around in his chair he goes almost everyone shoots the guy who neuralized the agent then he sends a telegram being like mr president the targets have been dealt with and then the president is obviously like i mean can you see where this is going can you see what's about to happen the president drops

the nuke on the school wiping out all witnesses and cleaning it up. And seemingly that would mean that the neuralizing was kind of pointless, but you cannot be too careful about these things. Of course, that is why the Galactic Twelve then neuralized the president. And of course, they're the highest of highs. The highest echelon, right. They're the keepers of the ancient secrets of the world. So you can't neutralize them.

Eventually, through the chaos, the bell rang. And all of the children were called into the main hall for an emergency assembly. The students filled the room, confused and scared. Did you see it? Did you see the craft? It touched down by the trees just outside school. Did you see it? Did you see the craft? It touched down by the trees just outside school.

Headmaster Frank Sambleby walked across the stage and silenced the crowd. All right, everyone calm down. We need everyone to be quiet. What you all saw today didn't exist, all right? It was a weather balloon. Nothing more. Any student caught talking about this will be severely punished and any teacher will lose their job.

That little M.I.B. rat! Coward! Someone got him in a room and with the gun to the back of his head, made sure he went out there and told these people what to do. You know, they took it's the 60s, I don't know how they did it,

but they took out a little laptop and there was a live video feed of his wife and kids tied up at home with a red dot sight against their little foreheads. You know what you have to do, Frank. Do you know what? F***ing kill my wife and child. I believe in the paranormal. The truth has to get out there. They fire the bullet.

Time to move to plan B. A clone of Frank walks out. I am ready to talk to the children. He walks out. Obey your elders. It's a f***ing mech.

It's ten times the size of the principal. Anyone who talks about the aliens will be eliminated. I mean I knew he'd been hitting the gym but he's pretty yoked don't you think? That's the end of school for today. The jets on his feet activate and he goes up through the roof. and goes up through the roof. So even though these are the main events that took place during the day, there are so many different parts to this case

that need to be taken into consideration. There were dozens of UFO sightings days before the main sighting that took place. Exactly. Local residents talked about seeing objects in the sky. People mentioned seeing lights above them in the night. Weird, weird stories from people all over town, all over. Years later, UFO investigators and members of the Disclosure Project decided to look into the official records of what happened at Westall. Through the Freedom of Information Act, they managed to get access to a huge database. We're talking about documents

from the RAAF, the Department of Defense, Department of Civil Aviation, and a huge amount of intelligence files from the time. But when they searched for the Westall case, there was nothing. kid. Almost too quiet. UFO researcher Bill Chalker said he had a shopping list of UFO sightings that he wanted to investigate. And every case, he managed to find documents relating to the incident. Except Westall. The whole incident had just been scrubbed clean off of any records. Interesting.

scrubbed clean off of any records interesting even when shane ryan was making his documentary the one that we've used clips from today westall 66 a suburban ufo mystery when he went to a news station that had recorded interviews with some of the children on the day of the event the film reels were missing from the library. Whoa. That doesn't happen. This doesn't happen. I've seen footage from Shane Ryan in this library. Yeah. Looking through the footage. This is the one where they have like, you know, those bookshelves that move when you move the vowels.

It looks like this insane backlog of basically everything that they've ever shot categorically organized and set up in these shelves and when he opens the reel that's supposed to be about westall it's gone the footage is gone the interviews with these kids and with the some of the teachers that day completely missing in this doesn't happen this doesn't happen unless someone wants it to happen and then it happens or somebody dies and then even this aside from the interviews the fact that whenever you look up the diaries of the air force and diaries of the military for that day suddenly it's goddamn bring your daughter to work day yeah it's all out there getting brunch that day and it's worth noting you know there's been other ufo sightings in Melbourne and obviously in Australia.

As we said, Bill Chalker, who was looking through these files, he found tons of other reports on other sightings of unidentified flying objects. There is no way that the Westall case would be in there. Yeah. It was the one that had over 200 witnesses. It was in daylight Children were passing out Teachers civilians students all saw this thing There is no way that that is not making any of these records while you know

Billy chud in his tractor drunk off his ass at 3 a.m Who thought he saw flying scarecrow is being listed in the paranormal files you're damn right it's kind of interesting and i'll defend billy chud till i die that man has a heart of coal and a soul of gold so i won't hear that where i was expecting that argument to go right away but i i feel bad for throwing billy chud under the under the bus like that he's a good man sure of course he's a paranormal enthusiast uh it is interesting to see how different countries governments tackle these events because you know we like we like to rag on the uh american government yeah their coverage of of ufo sightings we like to rag on the british government we love

as well um but you know all credit to them whenever pretty much to date all the cases which are many that we've covered that have happened in the united states 50 years later they will cough up some type of heavily redacted document about the event. Exactly, yeah. And many times they'll be like, hey, we hold our hands up, we thought it was a f***ing grey, here's why we think it's a weather balloon. And you can choose to disagree with that or not,

but they recorded it. They didn't just wipe the slate clean necessarily. Exactly, yeah. Which is so weird because, as said even with roswell you'd still get a couple documents it's very strange to think that the solution at this time was just to erase everything you know shane's doing his research for this story and he's like there's no evidence anywhere what the hell could have happened and he's like flicking through his calendar back to that day to see what other stuff happened around it in history that day

is just missing from the calendar he's like flicking threes in a shop flicking through all the calendars that one date is missing it just skips that number i would love it if he tackled all of this in the documentary and he's like to find out about the missing evidence and the blackout days in the calendar i went back to the school where the story first began to talk to the school's headmaster Frank. Cuts to robot Frank who's still been serving at the school for all of these years. Nothing happened that day. To be honest Frank it's been about 50 years I thought you'd have moved on by now, retired maybe, but I mean you look great. The children are my life I will defend defend them, even from the truth.

Okay, well, that's a weird thing to say. You should be telling them the truth. And, in fact, I'm asking you about the truth. I don't know anything about the blackout day or the aliens. I didn't even mention the blackout day. What do you know about the blackout day? I thought you mentioned it when you walked in. No.

No? Shit. Could you do me a favor and look into the light? This is all in the documentary. The next hour of the documentary is him starting it over because he forgot that he recorded the first 30 minutes. So I went to the school to talk to Frank, the local headmaster. He's been there since the incident. Shit, he's back again nice to meet you shane we've never met before look i could honestly go on and on and on about this case we don't have enough time to mention all of the specific details that took place there's testimonies from kids who claims that they were interrogated in the school by strange men in suits that they had

never seen before sure some of the students say that they went to tanya's house to try and find out if she was okay after the incident and a strange woman opened the door and said that tanya had never lived there like in a horror movie yeah you can you can see why it didn't include some of these uh these other aspects of the I mean, that's pretty freaking weird. I don't think it's real, but definitely strange and very interesting. But let's reel it back in, all right? It's time for us to plant our heels in the ground. Stop moving.

Turn around. Look at what's going on. Look straight into the bright light. Exactly. It's facing us. Because this case, this case is like the sun. Look at what's going on. Look straight into the bright light. Exactly. Facing us. Because this case, this case is like the sun. If you look at it for too long, you'll go blind.

But sometimes you need to have a little glance at the sun. Just to make sure it's really there. Because some of us aren't sure. Exactly. And make sure it's not up to anything. Weird. Let's look at the sun. Look at the sun with me, Kit.

Will you? I will. All right. I'm going to put on some shades. I'm going to take mine off. Oh, Jesus. F*** it. I'm ready to die.

What's going on in this case? I mean, we have just breezed over so many details that we need to pick apart. Yeah. We've got the disappearance of Tanya. We got the firsthand evidence of the craft taking off from the from the woods we've got the dead grass underneath where it landed that physical evidence we've got the principal claiming this was a weather balloon i mean where did let's start there okay where did that official line even come from so i mean that's a very weird thing for a principal to state as fact oh the f**k do you know what a weather balloon is exactly he has no jurisdiction or authority

to make that claim it's never even listed that he saw it either in one article it mentions that he remained indoors out of fear so i don't think he's necessarily the voice who should be telling people what this is and what this isn't that is very much i believe someone else's voice going through him not in a robotic hypnotism way no like a metaphorical he's being told what to say listen kids um a man with a massive envelope full of cash just told me it was a weather balloon. So I'm pretty darn sure it's a weather balloon. It's like, I'm not sure that's exactly ethical. Do you want the new gymnasium or not? Because if you want the new gymnasium, well, I need the money.

We need the envelope. He's basically telling the truth. Listen, if you want the gymnasium, it's a weather balloon. Sure, if you want to just run around the dirt, it's a UFO. Which is it going to be, kids? Okay, guys, like, you're not getting the cash anymore. You told the kids.

It's every f***ing day in this school. Every f***ing day, something new. Why is he the principal? He doesn't want to be here. I swear so much. Every f***ing day with these kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So there is some justification

behind these claims uh without getting into the specifics you know uh people have noted that there were uh some military operations in australia around the time there were some prototypes of aircraft that could be that could have kind of gone a wall kind of got out of control and drifted into the territories they weren't supposed to but when you hear people describe what they saw, ships turning sideways and disappearing, disappearing. You would never say something disappears. It doesn't happen.

Yeah. I mean, fly away. Even today's most sophisticated fighter jets that cost billions of dollars a piece, like most sophisticated fighter jets that cost billions of dollars a piece, they disappear over the horizon, like in a very slow fashion, because it takes miles. Exactly. They don't disappear in a blink of an eye. I mean, if the man, if the civilian who saw this craft flying by the schools

said it looked like someone was projecting film into the sky, I'm assuming it wasn't a giant metal balloon. This was something that his brain could not physically comprehend. So he had to justify it in this insane way. I think claiming that it is some sort of military craft, like a weather balloon, is a terrible excuse. Terrible excuse for what this is. This is why I was getting so riled up earlier and I'm trying to keep a lid on it right now, but this is what messes me up about this. It's 1966, people. If this happened today, I could understand the degree of speculation. You've got Elon Musk out there sending rockets to space and then landing them exactly back the way

they went off in the first place that's pretty paranormal that's pretty paranormal but even that you can't describe in these terms that we heard here in the episode and i just do not believe we've covered it in episodes before there have been research attempts into making circular crafts crafts that use alternate forms of energy for transportation yeah but. But they never nailed it. They never nailed a circular craft that turns 360 degrees and travels at the speed of light. If they did it, you'd be on skyscanner.net

booking economy flights across the world with it today. Yeah. Have you ever seen a Boeing 737 rise off the ground and bend horizontally before disappearing into the horizon? No, you haven't seen it because nothing can do that. Nothing that we have can do that. Now I'm getting fired up. I'm getting fired up.

It was an injustice what happened this day, all right? Because the other argument is that they were kids, all right? And it was a- Here we go. What do you call it? What do you call it when it's like a group mass hysteria mass hysteria that's what they're saying was mass hysteria these guys are kids they don't know what they saw they were all just excited and running around some of these

students to this day are still looking for the answers for what they saw and i think it is an insult to them to insist and tell them that they are wrong and that they didn't see anything it's it's how dare you how dare you you mib bastard wait till i hold on a minute till i find my freaking baton and i will deal with why you have a baton to deal with my bees can't don't embarrass me in front of the mibs there's no mibs here they're ever they're always they might be listening they're always here okay they're probably under my goddamn bed they're in the vents they're in my mattress just freaking starfish in there that's why i baton my bed every night before i go to bed that's what that song is yeah oh my christ you know just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they ain't watching you exactly exactly we've been saying that's a bumper sticker right there my friend but not to mention

the kids these teachers saw it as well and why where the frig are barbara's photographs okay exactly that's exactly no hashtag we need a hashtag campaign ladies and gentlemen hashtag give barbara her photos back this was the problem what we said with barbara being three steps ahead in chess would be you know one they say it didn't happen so i'm going to take pictures but the next step above that is they're going to confiscate my pictures that's true she should have made the next step which is is they're going to confiscate my pictures. That's true. She should have made the next step, which is, well, first off, don't tell them you have the pictures. Right. Second off, make duplicates, make copies.

Yeah. She's like a teacher. She's like a science teacher. They've got a copy machine. I don't know how that stuff works. What are those rooms? Red rooms? Yeah.

I don't know if a school had one, but maybe. They probably have like a photography club or something. Maybe they have even a school newspaper. She should have kicked down the front door and just being like, stop the press. Chuck that film reel right at the little tiny little news editor's head. And he's like, you know. Little Peter Parker looking asshole. Exactly.

Just slapped him across the side of the head and just go print that, you little bitch. And slam the door. Who are you it's like that's how you know hollywood isn't real life because in the hollywood adaptation of this the mib comes and takes her camera and she makes a big fuss she's like no give me that back give me it back the mib walks away and her colleague is like i'm sorry barbara what the hell are we gonna do they got the camera and she goes did they and she produces another film from her pocket she gave them a decoy that yeah that would be really

cool that would be the movie adaptation but unfortunately she didn't have a decoy they got the photos they completely got it yeah there's nothing to pull out there's no prestige which is a shame because that would have been that would have been the evidence that really tied it all together it's so true with you it's so true look i told you this was a big case i told you we were going to get fired up with the injustice that was delivered on this day i guess there's no there's no more time to deliberate it we just need to come down on a conclusion it's true as to whether or not we believe something paranormal happened on this day the very paranormal april 6th 1966 i'm starting to sense a little bit of bias here

as to where you may be going with this okay sure but you're right bias it's called education okay there's the two very different things. So she said there's no point in deliberating. We need to decide about the injustice on this very paranormal day. Being educated, knowing what you're talking about, that's not a bias. You know? Sure. Me saying like, I think that two plus two is four isn't me saying that I hate three or five.

It's me knowing math and shit. All right? Sure, but... If I say the world is flat, it's because I know it is because I've done the research. That's not a great example. It isn't because I hate globes. All right? There's a big difference between being biased and being informed.

You do hate globes. Obviously, I hate globes. You know, where's my baton? I'm getting stressed out and i just feel more comfortable if i have my baton i honestly don't want to show you where the baton is because i feel like i might be on the receiving end of that if i disagree you're gonna get a batoning my friend okay i'm not gonna show you where the baton is dirty globe dirty globe my point being Point being, I don't consider it biased when I know the truth that these little dirty MIB rat bastards hid for all these years. That's not biased.

I guess I only hesitate because normally when you know things with certainty, it's because of overwhelming amount of physical evidence. Yeah. Which, admittedly, we don't have for this case we have a ton of reliable testimony sure true yeah a lot of suspicious missing information actually if anything exactly um but you know you got to understand my hesitation here i i can understand your hesitation i just you know when i see a case this big with this many witnesses, with this many people who have had their entire lives from the moment it happened forward, completely changed. Yeah. I think it is.

I think it's ridiculous to imply that nothing happened. I think, obviously, our conclusions will be somewhere between something strange happened and UFOs happened. So I think we just need to decide. If you need a little bit more time, that's fine with me. Let's go!

Okay, you ready? We're going to do a little countdown and then we'll just say if it's a yes or a no. Okay, you ready? Three, two, one. Yes! Yes!

That's right, guys! It is a double yes! We are being lied to. You're being lied to. And this episode of the podcast... This is just the beginning, all right? You are through the f***ing looking glass. Morpheus offered you the red pill and the blue pill and you took them both

you took them both i just started chomping them like m&ms asking for more and he jacked that wire into into the back of your head and you're going wild spiraling out of control you're doing the blood rave in the zion because you know what's coming through that wire straight into your brain this this paranormal life, dropping truth bombs that the people don't want you to hear. Guess what? We're numb. We're numb to the flashes.

You can't blind me. You can't erase that. I am immortal. I was there that day in 1966. I'm sure of it. They wiped wiped my memory but i feel 70 years old and obviously i have a perfect australian accent sorry guys we got a little fired up there but it's been a while since we've had a double yes it's been weeks of bone dry content no after no so to finally have a yes it means everything it means

everything to us you know because as much as we want to say yes to every case that comes across our desk we can we do well of course we do a lot because sometimes you know you got to get a couple yeses out there just to you know sure keep the people alive and sometimes sponsors pay us to say yes to ice probably shouldn't have said that actually but uh exactly but they do two weeks ago we said ronald mcdonald was a cryptid that walked in the alaskan mountains um which that's a yes obviously sorry yeah it still is for sure next week we're investigating the hamburglar and some of his uh recent um attacks he's had on the people of london and then we got i

think uh a three-part series on just apple pie just a little apple pie from mcdonald's not even like is it real because it is we've had it well we're switching the find the question at the end of the episode to just is it delicious for all three weeks and we're contractually obliged to say yes we have it's absolutely incredible so thank you guys so much for listening to this week's episode of this paranormal life we love making this show every week and there's only one way we can do it it's because you guys support us on patreon.com the website that keeps on giving because we keep on taking that's right from as little as two bucks a month you can get a shout out on the podcast and for even more you can get bonus episodes of

Okay, so we're now just standing outside the elevator. The elevator's on ground. Sorry, are we supposed to be whispering? Yes. Well, I mean, no, not necessarily. I'm just worried about the woman, to be honest. Okay. I'll be as loud as I want.

Okay, we're at the entrance to the elevator. and we're about to enter and start the ritual. Rory, do you want to hit the button for the door? Okay. Kid's holding a giant iPad with a drawing of two scary girls on it. Yeah, well, that's just for, like, the woman might want to see something, you know? All right. We're in the elevator.

It's really a code, a front, if you will, for grass. Okay, so he doesn't even water plants. He just sells weed. He just sells pre-rolled joints.

All right, okay. So it's not really my cup of tea, but I'm sure we have some people out there in the nation who would like to partake of course the paranormal commune is 420 friendly my friends thanks also to richard stokes richard stokes chokes when he tokes that dank weed oh yeah richard's big into it and as i said the commune is 420 friendly guys i don't say it. Richard, just remember to head on over to Hans Christian's Sprinklers to get the good stuff. I should say we are taking a cut of all those sales. Yeah. Hence the big old plug right here in the shoutouts.

Yeah, if we actually have any listeners in Amsterdam, just get in contact, please. Thanks also to James Carsley. Thanks also to James Carsley head on over to James Carsley's dealership where you can get all the sweet cars your heart desires Wow, that's amazing. Does he deal in like classic cars or something really nice car deals in weed? Oh, that's right This car dealer doesn't have many wheels on the lot But he has the hottest joints on the block. Barely rhymes and I love it.

Listen, we say it's 420 friendly, but sure, as with many activities in the commune, the federal government, local government, unspecified Spanish government, may not agree with how we see things. Of course. You gotta have a front. Sure. Thankfully the local government doesn't speak English, so they're not hearing this.

You're saying a lot of things about the location of the commune. Let's keep that. I didn't say anything. Just keep that in mind. Thanks also to Richmond Robison. Richmond Robison, that's pretty messed up that he robbed his son. His own son. Pretty ice cold.

But we do respect that level of commitment to the life of crime yeah that's badass you know sons have pretty cool shit they've often got nice sneakers games consoles batons hidden around the room i don't know why a boy would have a baton but you know sons could be a good market if you're in the life of crime it is thanks also to christopher smith chris smith time mistletoe and weed oh he's a dealer that's right one of the paranormal communes best he once rolled a joint 12 feet in length 12 feet took one toke and blacked. He's not very good at smoking it, but he's good at- Well, that's a pretty tall order to get that high. But he's there with the best of them. He's making brownies.

He's making space cakes. We're happy to have him on board. There's a lot of dealers. Do we even have enough people who like to partake in weed? We shouldn't have enforced the rule that um a weed is a deed which means if you have any weed you can just get a house in the paranormal commune oh yeah that's it because it rhymed so good we thought it was smart thought it was smart but actually it's a pretty loaded on the one side kind of deal turns out it was bad and sad thanks also to lincoln garvey mr garvey is the missing lincoln

between man and gray really that's right his mother was a gray his father was a man you know what happened i don't have to spell it out when a man loves a gray oh sure i mean we don't even need to go into it because it's like he puts his no is... A wrecked penis. Oh, it's very crude. We don't need to do it. Into the... Rontor. You know the Rontor? I was gonna say, because we don't...

The alien's Rontor. I'm not familiar with alien biology. Well, it's a... I don't need to tell you what happens after the penis goes on the Rontor, but the chasms are pretty blanter. Alright? Things get pretty hot and crevy.

I am so sorry for this X-rated content, folks. This is honestly disgusting. It's pretty gross. If you understood the words I was saying, it's pretty gross. Thanks also to Tommy Kaikunen. Well, if it isn't Tommy the Commie. Ooh. This guy is

all about giving it away. Really? Communist style. But mostly, he's into giving away weed. Okay. This guy's not so much a dealer as a dispenser. He's just throwing it out around him. 60s style, baby. He'd fit in

in 1966 Westall. Yeah, he's actually pissed off a lot of the dealers in the commune because they're charging for it, obviously. Obviously. And he's just throwing it away. Throwing it into the crowds. Good for you man. Thanks also to Abby Reed. Abby Reed

likes tokens that you get from like arcade machines. Like you get like the tokens. Just likes the tokens? She just likes the tokens. Doesn't even trade them in for prizes. Interesting. I mean it's hard to even see what's available when you're that high off your off your ass that would make sense because no one in their right mind would just let all those tokens go you can trade them in for snacks and you know she wants snacks she wants the snacks exactly but she's having a good time let her do it

uh thanks to jt mcwoosh jt mcwoosh is always just out of there anytime you come to visit him he's just gone whoosh he's like you know when uh cartoon characters run away there's just a dust cloud wow just left there in his spot his his outline. So if you have asthma, don't go anywhere near him because he's one dusty ass son of a bitch. He's not that fast. He's just dusty as all hell. Very true. Thanks also to

Dan Sisson. Dan was an inventor of children's play equipment. A French inventor. You might know him from his invention, the Sisson. The Sisson that he invented. Thank you. Thank you very much. And thank you to Dan.

Eight this summer. Thank you also to Andre Mondo. You heard of andre the giant sure this is andre the ant oh the opposite in every way so andre giant wrestler huge powerful andre the ant small an ant oh not even just a small human it's ant. Is that the opposite of a giant wrestler? Is that ant? He's actually pretty big for an ant. Oh. So in terms of scale, he's like Andre the Giant Ant. So it's a little weird.

But if Hopper and the rest of the locusts showed up and Andre the Giant Ant was there, they're turning right back around. They're going to hop around. They're gonna hop the f*** out of the forest. We talk about that movie too much. Way too much. I think I've seen it like twice. Thanks also to Joe James.

Joe James don't play no games. Don't play Joe games. Well, I'm just trying to play a relaxing game of Halo 3. They don't play it. He's a problem with that? Joe way. Joe way, Jose. They don't play it. He's a problem with that? Joe Way. Joe Way, Jose.

They don't play no games. What do you do all the time? Just work? Work. 24-7. Bloodshot eyes. Four coffees deep. That doesn't sound good.

Well, sometimes life isn't good. Sometimes life is work and it's pain. Okay, it doesn't have to be work, though. And, look, I just don't... Listen, I know that't have to be work though and look i don't i just don't listen i know that life shouldn't be work all the time but they actually make quite a lot of money and they're sending it to us on patreon so if we could just not mention halo so not to take their mind off the work halo was whack last night you should stay at the job exactly thank you thank you thanks also to erin pom ranky erin pom ranky ranky's pomeranians she's a dog judge she's a pom ranky what a weird job exactly and not even just

any type of dog just palms just pomeranians the little puffy little balls of fluff but she is a brutal judge very cruel if they have but one hair out of place, she executes them. She Stone Cold Steve Austin style. Okay, so she's also a wrestler. She's also a wrestler, of course, yeah. Thanks also to Claudia Torn. Claudia Torn was born with a horn the size of a corn. What?

You don't have to say what, because I'm about to elaborate on it. To always assume I'm going to... I would like a long dramatic pause. I wouldn't just say she was born with a horn the size of a corn and then end my sentence. Well, you just stared at me and then went blank for a second. What do I even need to clarify? She was born with a horn the size of a corn. Forget it.

Don't be mad about it. It's weird. Sure. Her parents thought she was a demon a horn the size of a corn get it fine don't don't be mad about it it's weird sure her parents thought she was a demon who wouldn't but she had a corn horn no the horn was the size of a corn it wasn't a corn horn no i should okay i should have elaborated because the corn the horn was made of corn okay so she didn't have any horn it was just like it was a bit of corn okay on her head yeah i should have elaborated. It's my fault. I should have elaborated. Thanks also to Harriet Thackeray. Harriet Thackeray likes an ice cold dacqueray.

After a long burning hot day of smoking weed, the harshest weed you could ever find. Why? Her throat is burning up and the sun is beating down We don't have a lot of cover Or shade in the paranormal commune Because we need the sun to hit those Open fields Did we mention the weed was bad

It's dirt weed In that it's 90% dirt 10% seed So of course she's gonna need A couple daiquiris to cool off After a long day. Thanks lastly but not leastly to Megan Primo Johnson. Megan is begging for a pass into the Paranormal Colony.

But you know, we've got the gates up and we're looking down. You can see she's got one of those Agent Smith little ear pieces. She's got the sunglasses on. It's freaking 100 degrees out here and she's in a full suit. There's no need for an earpiece. Why would you need the earpiece? We can see right through you. And unless you have a big bag of cash, there's no way.

Oh, she does. What? That's the biggest bag of cash I've ever seen. Come on in, Megan. Open the doors. Welcome, friend. You shouldn't have said. Hey, can we get one of those earpieces?

That looks pretty cool, actually. Can I interest you in a joint, madame? She pulls a gun on you. Oh, this is a bust! It's like two acres of weed fields and 300 stoned paranormal enthusiasts. It's like the biggest bust of all time. Jesus, Megan, you're killing us here.

A single toke before i go on the slammer for eternity megan thank you so much megan and thank you so much to everyone who has supported us this far if you're waiting for your shout out don't worry i'm sure it's just around the corner guys what a case this week i'm so glad you were able to join us we had so much fun and we hope that you will be back next week for a brand new episode of This Paranormal Life.
