    The Moon Is On Fire: They Erased It

    The Moon Is On Fire: They Erased It In October 2023, a user named Alec posted a four-word question on a mental health forum: "Does anyone else see that the Moon is on fire?" He had been watching the sky for three days, seeing the Moon glow orange like metal in a furnace, and every article, video, and photograph documenting the event one week earlier had vanished from the internet. What impossible logic did Alec use to survive when the world denied what he saw? In this episode, we delve into the unsettling experience of Alec, a man with a psychiatric diagnosis who found himself at the center of an inexplicable event. We explore his meticulous efforts to document the disappearance of all media coverage related to an unidentified object impacting the Moon, and the chilling implications of his neighbor's silence. Person: Alec Date: October 2023 Location: Columbus, Ohio Event: Unidentified object impacts the Moon Status: Media coverage erased - Alec posted his question after observing the Moon glow orange for three days. - Initial media reports in late October 2023 described an unidentified object traveling at near-light speed. - Within 72 hours, all coverage of the event disappeared from search indexes. - Alec had bookmarked 14 sources of footage, but 12 were gone by evening. - His neighbor, Dean, did not mention the visibly altered Moon after 36 hours.
