    Ad-Free: The Haunted Woods for Subscribers

    Apologies, listeners -- our platform is having ongoing issues with a technical communication error with Apple, and our free episode released Tuesday was eaten (mysterious) in the attempt on their side to fix it. So we're re-releasing the ad-free version separately, again, to be sure everyone is happy. Stand-by! Is Mercury retrograde? Strange lights captivated the people of Lubbock, Texas who happened to gaze skyward on a summer night in 1951. But what those lights actually were remains an object of contention… particularly because nobody involved, including the Air Force, seems interested in talking about it. This is a presentation of Premium Episode 60 on the main feed.
