Geoengineering, classic UFO cases, and a haunted estate in Illinois were among the fascinating topics explored this past week on Coast to Coast AM. And, here at the C2C website, we told you about a bizarre burglary involving tropical fish, a flamethrower-equipped robot dog, and a tic tac-shaped UFO filmed by an astounded witness in England. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
A pair of classic UFO cases were revisited this past week on Coast to Coast AM. First, on Saturday night's program, filmmaker Steve Edmiston discussed the June 1947 event known as the Maury Island Incident wherein witness Harold Dahl allegedly spotted six flying discs over Puget Sound, Washington and subsequently sparked something of a frenzy that swept across the country. Then, on Wednesday night's show, author Brit Elders shared insights on legendary UFO contactee Billy Meier, who has purportedly been communicating with an alien race known as the Pleiadeans for decades and is said to still be speaking to the proverbial 'space brothers' to this day.
Two tantalizing UFO videos popped up in the news, beginning with footage of a tic tac-shaped object that was filmed by a man walking his dog in England. Suspecting that perhaps the puzzling anomaly was simply a plane, when he checked an air traffic app on his phone, he was stunned to see that there should have been nothing in the sky where the weird glowing oddity appeared. Later in the week, a remarkably clear video of a UFO over New York City's LaGuardia Airport found its way back into the news when the witness who filmed the disc-shaped object came forward to share her story and the footage subsequently went viral.
Ashmore Estates, an infamous haunted Illinois location, took center stage on Sunday night's program as paranormal researcher Richard Estep talked about his investigation of the former "poor farm' said to be rife with spirits. Unlike many spots said to harbor ghosts from the past, he indicated that the building actually had a largely positive history, though there were a handful of tragic incidents that seemingly resulted in the estate having some 'residents from the other side.' Estep detailed the various equipment and techniques used by his team during their investigation at the Ashmore Estates as well as his general philosophy when it comes to exploring haunted sites.
Stirring visions of a dystopian sci-fi film, this past week saw the unveiling of a robot dog equipped with a flamethrower that can shoot fire up to thirty feet. Created by the Ohio-based company Throwflame, the nightmarish addition to their product line sells for $9,420 and is pitched as being an ideal device for removing show, managing wildlife, or simply entertaining. Legal in every state but Maryland, where one would require a license to own it, the first-of-its-kind automaton, aptly dubbed 'The Thermonator,' boasts the ability to deftly maneuver on four legs and also sports a laser sight as if its flame-throwing capacity were not unsettling enough.
Concerns about geoengineering and the green agenda were put forward by activist Matthew Landman on Monday night's program. Suggesting that the recent flooding in Dubai may have been brought about by cloud seeding, he observed this was not lost on some members of the media, who wondered if the event was the beginning of some kind of weather warfare. He also recounted a recent sun-dimming experiment said to be aimed at reducing global warming and argued that it was a ruse to begin acclimating the public to accepting chemtrails. Regarding the green agenda, Landman noted that some electric vehicle charging stations are powered by diesel generators and theorized that the switch to EVs was a plot to limit the population's ability to travel freely.
This past week saw a particularly mind-boggling burglary come to light in Canada, where a restaurant fell victim to some sticky-fingered ne'er-do-wells who somehow stole their collection of tropical fish. The unfortunate eatery at the center of the case, the Beachburg Restaurant has been an institution in its namesake community for over thirty years. A popular fixture at the establishment is their sizeable aquarium, which had been stocked with an array of exotic fish until some miscreants managed to make off with the animals. Confounding even the cops, the burglars specifically targeted the aquatic creatures and the supplies needed to care for them, while completely eschewing cash and other valuables that went untouched in the restaurant.
