UFO crash retrieval cases, the lost land of Lemuria, and classic paranormal documentaries were among the topics explored on Coast to Coast AM this past week. Meanwhile, here at the C2C website, we told you about a curious cluster of UFOs filmed by an astonished California family, a mystery animal attack that sent an Oklahoma woman to the hospital, and a fearless Chinese grandmother who climbed six stories down the outside of her apartment complex. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
The lost land of Lemuria took center stage on Saturday night's program as metaphysical teacher Ariya Lorenz talked about the mysterious ancient civilization. Likening that forgotten world to the Garden of Eden, she asserted that its denizens were not only connected to each other consciously, but also to a higher, enlightened 'source.' When Lemuria fell, she explained, humans became separated from each other in a manner that was ultimately necessary for our evolution. To that end, Lorenz mused that the lost world is more than merely a land mass and, instead, is something more akin to a state of consciousness that can still be accessed by individuals.
A trio of intriguing UFO videos popped up on our radar this past week, beginning with a case from California wherein a family cruising down the highway captured footage of a cluster of curious glowing orbs in the night sky. Astonished by what they were watching, the witnesses were all the more confounded when the four lights slowly vanished in succession. Next, a puzzled individual in Missouri captured a daylight video of a white disc-shaped object that hovered in the sky for around thirty minutes before vanishing. Lastly, a witness in Mexico filmed a peculiar orb that he spotted floating across the sky early in the morning.
Documentaries were a hot topic of conversation on Coast to Coast AM, with a pair of programs devoted to two very specific forms of the film genre. On Wednesday night's program, longtime chronicler of music culture, Harvey Kubernik, discussed the rise in music documentaries, which he attributed to the public's insatiable appetite for insights on their favorite artists. He also noted that these films have allowed for previously unheralded players, like engineers, to have their proverbial moment in the sun. Then, on Thursday night's show, media professor Gary Rhodes discussed 1970s paranormal documentaries that explored topics like UFOs, the Bermuda Triangle, and ancient aliens.
Chillingly violent mystery creatures made headlines this past week on two separate occasions. First, in Oklahoma, an unfortunate woman was attacked by an unidentified animal that left her with such severe injuries that she needed to be hospitalized. The incident was particularly mystifying to law enforcement officials, including one sheriff who mused that he had never seen such a curious case in his nearly 40 years on the job. Meanwhile, in Brazil, a staggering series of strange animal slayings by an unknown predator sparked speculation that the chupacabra could be to blame for the killing spree in which more than 100 sheep, pigs, goats, and rabbits had been found drained of their blood.
Beyond Roswell, UFO lore is replete with cases of alleged crashed craft and clandestine retrieval operations. On Tuesday night's program, military aerospace historian Michael Schratt shared details of such mysterious events, which were dutifully collected by pioneering researcher Leonard Stringfield for decades. One particularly compelling case highlighted during the evening was the 1941 Cape Girardeau in Missouri, where it was said that an alien survived the disaster but died shortly thereafter. As for why an advanced civilization's vehicles would be prone to crashing, Schratt suggested that it could simply be mechanical failure or something more sinister, like a secret government agenda aimed at taking down the craft to study their technology.
By far the most amazing story of the week came from China, where a fearless grandmother climbed a jaw-dropping six stories down the outside of a high-rise apartment building after getting stuck inside her home. As she later explained to rescue workers, the elderly woman found herself accidentally locked in her bedroom with no means of calling for help. Left with no other option, she exited through the window and began climbing down a protective covering for air conditioning units with the intention of slowly descending a staggering 27 stories to the ground. As one might imagine, the mission quickly proved to be too arduous for the woman, who made it six floors down before being rescued from the perilous predicament.
