In the late 1980s and early '90s, thousands of Belgian citizens—including police officers, air traffic controllers, and military personnel—reported seeing large, silent, triangular UFOs in the skies. With radar-confirmed sightings and an official military scramble, the Belgium UFO Wave remains one of the most credible mass sightings in UFO history.

The Silent Predator: How Samuel Little Got Away with Murder for Decades

In 1970, the body of a woman was found strangled and buried in a shallow grave. With no clues to follow, the case quickly went cold, leaving investigators with more questions than answers. What no one knew then was that this was just the beginning of a terrifying reign of terror. This unsolved murder would later be linked to Samuel Little, a man who would become America's most prolific serial killer, confessing to over 90 murders across four decades. In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we uncover how Little evaded capture for so long, the lives he destroyed, and how justice finally caught up with him.

The Thing on the Hill: The Flatwoods Monster

At approximately 7:15 in the evening on Friday the 12th of September 1952, three young boys were playing in the schoolyard of Flatwoods Elementary School, in the small Appalachian town of Flatwoods, West Virginia. It was almost fully dark. One of them looked up. A bright, pulsating object was streaking across the sky. It appeared to descend and crash on a nearby hillside, on the property of a local farmer. The boys ran home to tell their mother, 27-year-old Kathleen May. Kathleen called on her 17-year-old cousin, a National Guardsman named Eugene Lemon. Two other local boys joined the group. The family dog, Rickie, came along. Seven of them altogether. Six boys, one mother, one dog. What they said they found in a clearing at the top of the hill has become one of the most persistently unsettling paranormal encounters in American history. They said they saw a creature. They said it was ten feet tall. They said its head was shaped like an ace of spades, glowing red and orange in the dark. They said it emitted a foul, sulphurous mist that burned their throats and eyes. They said it did not walk. It glided toward them. By the time they got back to the May family home, six of the seven witnesses were vomiting. Their eyes were red. Their throats were swollen. The dog was cowering. The local sheriff came. The local newspaper editor came, with a shotgun. Multiple neighbours reported strange lights that night. Nothing physical was ever found at the site. But for the rest of their lives, all seven witnesses would stand by exactly what they had seen. And nearly 74 years later, no one has ever definitively explained what it was.

Unshakable Science - P11

In the 1990s and early 2000s, Shaken Baby Syndrome was considered medical fact. When doctors found subdural bleeding, retinal hemorrhages, and brain swelling - the so-called "triad" - the diagnosis was automatic: violent abuse. This medical certainty sent hundreds of people to prison, including Tasha Shelby and Marsha Mills - two women whose cases we've been following throughout this series. Both convicted based solely on expert testimony that claimed their guilt was scientifically undeniable. But was it? Professor Keith Findley joins us to examine the evolution of SBS science. As co-founder of the Wisconsin Innocence Project and co-author of the definitive Cambridge University Press book "Shaken Baby Syndrome: Investigating the Abusive Head Trauma Controversy," Professor Findley has spent decades studying how medical assumptions became legal fact - and how that "fact" has been systematically challenged by modern research. We explore how birth trauma, medical conditions, and even short falls can mimic the signs once thought exclusive to violent shaking. We examine why 34 people have been exonerated from SBS convictions as courts slowly recognize the diagnosis is unreliable. And we discuss why cases like Tasha's and Marsha's represent a much broader crisis in forensic medicine. From the biomechanics of infant injury to the legal standards that allowed flawed science into courtrooms, Professor Findley explains how medical overconfidence created a generation of wrongful convictions - and what it will take to prevent future injustices when science masquerades as certainty. The triad that once seemed unshakeable has been shaken to its core. But for those already convicted, scientific progress may have come too late.

Unshakable Science - P4

In 1997, a two-year-old boy collapsed on the floor of his bedroom in Biloxi, Mississippi. His stepmother, Tasha Shelby, called for help. By the time the sun came up, she was the prime suspect. By the time the trial ended, she had a life sentence. Tasha was twenty-two. Twelve days postpartum. Engaged to be married. The only adult in the house the night Bryan collapsed. The case against her rested on a single diagnosis, Shaken Baby Syndrome, delivered by the medical examiner who performed the autopsy. Decades on, that same medical examiner has taken the stand again, under oath, to say he got it wrong. The certainty that once surrounded the diagnosis has been picked apart in courtrooms across the world. Hundreds of people convicted on the same theory have walked free. Tasha has not. Recorded from inside Central Mississippi Correctional Facility, this is her story in her own words. The thump in the night, the newborn daughter taken from her arms,the trial and the expert recantation. What happens when the expert says they got it wrong?

The Ari Squire Case: Man Who Killed to Fake His Own Death

On 23rd February 2008, firefighters responded to a garage fire in Lake Barrington, Illinois. Beneath a white pickup truck, they found a badly burnt body. The wallet identified the victim as Ari Samuel Squire, 39. It looked like a tragic accident. A jack failure. A fire. A life lost. But dental records didn't match. The body was too young—about twenty, not forty. The tattoos were wrong. The body wasn't Ari Squire. It was Justin Newman, a young man Ari had lured to his home with the promise of construction work. Ari was $400,000 in debt from Medicare fraud. He'd hatched a plan: kill someone who resembled him, stage his own death, steal the victim's identity, and disappear. For eight days, Ari lived as Justin Newman, using his credit cards and ID. Then police tracked him to a Missouri motel. Before arrest, Ari put a gun to his head. Tonight on Crime at Bedtime, the story of a fake death that became real murder. Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.
