Antônio Vilas-Boas was abducted from his family farm in 1952 by 5-foot-tall humanoids dressed in "...tight-fitting siren-suit, made of soft, thick, unevenly striped, gray material." He was stripped of his clothes, covered in clear gel, and used as a, "...good stallion to improve their own stock". The alleged aliens then gave him a tour of their UFO before placing him back at his home. This story contributed to the argument of what extraterrestrials wanted from earthlings... could it possibly be that they were investigating human reproduction and genetics?   Twitter and Instagram - @biarpodcast Facebook - Bug in a Rug Email us your ideas at biarpodcast@gmail.com [biarpodcast@gmail.com]   Sources: The alien abduction of Brazilian farmer Antônio Vilas-Boas, near São Francisco de Sales, 1957 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEcuAAJnSeM&t=14s] 9 Alien Abduction Stories That Seem Disturbingly True [https://allthatsinteresting.com/alien-abductions/5] Antônio Vilas-Boas - Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant%C3%B4nio_Vilas-Boas] Antonio Villas Boas Abduction (1957) – Unidentified Phenomena [https://unidentifiedphenomena.com/abductions/antonio-villas-boas-abduction-1957/] The Antônio Villas-Boas case | Gnosis Online - Your portal to esotericism [https://www.gnosisonline.org/o-caso-antonio-villas-boas/] Antonio Villas-Boas elrablása – TUDOMÁNYOS UFO [https://tudomanyosufo.wordpress.com/2023/06/21/antonio-villas-boas-elrablasa/] Architects of the Underworld: Unriddling Atlantis, Anomalies of Mars, and ... - Bruce Rux - Google Books [https://books.google.com/books?id=kXBGzVKXSVMC&pg=PA109#v=onepage&q&f=false] Conspiracy Films: A Tour of Dark Places in the American Conscious - Barna William Donovan - Google Books [https://books.google.com/books?id=bJkhqU1IXHAC&pg=PA54#v=onepage&q&f=false] Ed Keffel | The UFO Database [https://theufodatabase.com/people/ed-keffel] João Martins | The UFO Database [https://theufodatabase.com/people/joao-martins] The Lure of the Edge: Scientific Passions, Religious Beliefs, and the ... - Brenda Denzler - Google Books [https://books.google.com/books?id=BnQU2Q65lWsC&pg=PA51#v=onepage&q&f=false] Phantoms and Monsters: Pulse of the Paranormal [https://www.phantomsandmonsters.com/2011/01/antonio-villas-boas-abduction.html] The Surprising Origin of Alien Abduction Stories | Live Science [https://www.livescience.com/20250-alien-abductions-origins.html] UFO sightings in Brazil - Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO_sightings_in_Brazil]

H. H. Holmes was known for robbing graves, stealing horses, insurance fraud, and... murder.

Richard "Beebo" Russell was dubbed the 'Sky King' after he made an unauthorized takeoff from the Seattle-Tacoma airport in a 76- seat passenger Bombardier Q400. He was followed by fighter jets as he flew to Mount Rainier and did an impressive barrel roll... all without his pilot's license.   Twitter and Instagram - @biarpodcast Facebook - Bug in a Rug Email us your ideas at biarpodcast@gmail.com [biarpodcast@gmail.com]   Sources: 2018 Horizon Air Bombardier Q400 incident - Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Horizon_Air_Bombardier_Q400_incident] Airline worker who stole plane told air traffic control 'I don't wa.. - ABC13 Houston [https://abc13.com/airline-worker-who-stole-plane-told-air-traffic-control-i-dont-want-to-hurt-no-one/3928151/] Commercial Vs Airline Pilot: Comparison List of Differences | SkyTough [https://www.skytough.com/post/commercial-vs-airline-pilot] File:Ketron Island crash site of 2018 Horizon Air Q400 incident.jpg - Wikimedia Commons [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=156917360] How to Become an Airline Pilot – Steps, Eligibility, & Requirements / ATP Flight School [https://atpflightschool.com/become-a-pilot/airline-career/airline-pilot-requirements.html] Richard Russell, "Rich": 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know [https://heavy.com/news/2018/08/richard-russell-rich-seatac-beebo/] The Sky Thief: Beebo Russell's Last Flight [https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/beebo-russell-seattle-plane-theft-true-story-1187023/] The Tragic Story of 'Sky King' Richard Russell | HowStuffWorks [https://people.howstuffworks.com/richard-russell.htm] Who Was Richard Russell?

Welcome to Wild and Wonderful West Virginia, where we have cryptids called The White Thing and Sheepsquatch! One is a large, dog-like creature with filthy white, wooly fur and saber-like fangs, while the other is an 8-foot, hairy bipedal creature with a long head that holds a single-point set of horns not dissimilar to those found on a young goat. What's not to love?  Join us as we discuss whether or not everyone is seeing the same entity or if there are two monstrous creatures stalking the Appalachian Mountains.
