Iapetus Anomalies
In the first hour,
Richard C. Hoagland of
Enterprise Mission discussed some of the fascinating anomalies on Saturn's moon Iapetus. According to Hoagland, Iapetus has an enormous "seam" running around the equator, which, he implied, may have been artificially made. Hoagland will present a full update on a future show. In the meantime, however, you can read more about it

Chupacabra Revealed
During the first few minutes of Friday's show, KOB-TV Eyewitness News 4 co-anchor,
Tom Joles, talked about a
strange carcass found near Albuquerque, NM. Some believe the creature is a chupacabra, but Joles revealed it is actually the dried remains of an ocean
skate.
Chupacabra?

Recap
NDEs, OBEs & Best Callers
During Friday night's
Open Lines, several callers shared their near death and out of body experiences. One caller alleged he was shot and killed, yet could hear the hospital surgical team's discussion while they worked to revive him. The caller said he was dead for 20 minutes.
A trucker driving through Joplin, MO described the time he had an out of body experience after a serious truck accident. He said he remembers floating above the scene, talking with his late grandfather, and then returning to his body, which had been covered in a white sheet by paramedics. He also claims to have been dead for 20 minutes, and believes he can now see dead people as a result of the experience.
Throughout the evening, George played recordings of five past callers of 2005 and invited Fast Blasters to vote for their favorite. The entries included:
- Caught a Baby Dinosaur
- Legend of Baby Santos
- Ouija Board
- Judy's Ghost
- Bermuda Triangle
And the winning call as tabulated by George's 'scientific' Fast Blast sampling was...
Ouija Board, which recounts the mysterious death of the caller's aunt. According to the caller, his aunt was found dead in a trunk with a Ouija Board wrapped in an old potato sack. Stranger still, he said the death was foreseen in a nightmare by his twin cousins, who described seeing a "shadowy thing" pull his aunt into the trunk.

Saturn's diminutive moon, Mimas, looks eerily similar to the deadly battle station from
Star Wars in an image taken by the Cassini probe. The giant crater which gives the moon its characteristic look is more than 85 miles across. Scientists think if the asteroid that struck Mimas and formed the crater had been any larger, the moon would have broken in two. Read more at
