Space exploration, Bigfoot, and Stonehenge as a healing temple were among the fascinating topics explored on Coast to Coast AM this past week. Meanwhile, at the C2C website, we told you about a fast-moving UFO inadvertently filmed by a man walking his dog, the recovery of a stolen Amelia Earhart statue, and a bizarre mystery creature encountered by a family in Mexico. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
Stonehenge took center stage on Tuesday night's program as master dowser Maria Wheatley discussed the mysterious megalithic site. While conventional science suggests that the monument was built around 2500 BC, she argued that carbon dating evidence indicates that the landmark could actually be a staggering 10,000 years old. As for Stonehenge's purpose, Wheatley suggested that it was designed to harness the Earth's energies and, coupled with specific sound frequencies, serve as a "healing temple." The true nature of the megalithic site, she lamented, has been repressed by the proverbial 'powers that be' with only a handful of secretive groups, like the Knights Templar, knowing its tremendous power.
Two decidedly different but equally curious creature stories made headlines this past week, beginning with a case from Canada wherein a witness photographed an unusual anomaly that just may have been the country's resident lake monster, Ogopogo. The longtime owner of a home overlooking Okanagan Lake, where the creature is said to reside, marveled that the serpentine-like animal he spotted emerging from the water was unlike anything he had seen in the decades he has lived at the location. Meanwhile, in Mexico, a wild video showed the moment when a family encountered a bizarre-looking animal that spawned an array of theories from the prosaic, such as a dog or jaguar, to the fantastic, including a supernatural being or a chupacabra.
Space was a hot topic of conversation this past week on Coast to Coast AM with a trio of programs devoted to discussing the cosmos. First, on Saturday night, writer David W. Brown discussed interstellar objects, like 'Oumuamua and the proposed plan to build nuclear reactors on the Moon, and China's ambitious lunar program. Then, on Sunday night's program, historian Robert Zimmerman reflected on the remarkable achievements of the private space industry and the importance of addressing moral issues that will arise from the colonization of new worlds. Finally, on Thursday night's show, founder and host of the Space Show, David Livingstone, shared insights on the Artemis program and the state of the Lunar Landing mission.
This past week featured a pair of videos showing peculiar UFOs that left witnesses scratching their heads. First, in Mexico, a group of astonished onlookers captured footage of a bright flickering light that inexplicably appeared on a hillside in broad daylight at a location known for incidents of high strangeness. Some theorized that the illumination was otherworldly, but more skeptical observers argued that it could have been a reflection. Later in the week, a British man who filmed a video of his dog playing fetch was stunned when he later looked at the scene and spotted a fast-moving UFO that had zipped over their unknowing heads.
Bigfoot was back in the spotlight on Wednesday night's program as author Michael Kozlowski talked about the famed cryptid and its various 'cousins' around the world. While Sasquatch is primarily associated with North America, he noted that such creatures seem to be a global phenomenon, pointing to similar bipedal hairy hominids such as China's Yeren and Australia's Yowie. Eschewing the theory that Bigfoot is paranormal, Kozlowski speculated that the cryptid could be a remnant of an ancient human species along the lines of the Neanderthals. During his appearance, he also shared accounts of violent Sasquatch encounters and mused about the difficulty in proving the creature's existence.
A mystery that began a few months ago came to a resolution this past week when an Amelia Earhart statue stolen from a Canadian town was recovered in rather rough shape. The sizeable bronze artwork commemorating the community of Harbour Grace's place as the starting point for the pioneering pilot's historic 1932 transatlantic flight was snatched by some sticky-fingered ne'er-do-wells back in April. Just as the case had seemingly grown cold, a tipster informed police that they could find the statue in a wooded area approximately 30 minutes from the town. Sure enough, cops investigating the call discovered the sculpture cut into pieces that can, thankfully, be reassembled so that the depiction of the iconic aviatrix can stand tall in Harbour Grace once again.
