    It started with New Hampshire couple Betty and Barney Hill, who learned under hypnosis they’d been abducted and examined by aliens in 1962. Since then, possibly millions of people in the US alone came to believe they followed in the Hills’ footsteps. Why?

MERTX ,

Very interesting.....

Who knew?? I found these podcasts to be very interesting and informative. It's refreshing to know that there are people out there who care enough to inform us of interesting facts that fuel our brains rather than the typical trash that floods us daily. Does anybody really care which celebrity went into rehab this week? This makes for much more interesting conversation around the "water cooler". Not to mention that it makes you sound smart :) Keep up the good work!

Listen Up!

The SYSK “Selects” episode is from 2019. The choice for this as a gift to listeners as an extra episode is a bad one. People with dyslexia or people having relatives with dyslexia please know that so, so, many advances have been made, and are available currently as to make this episode ill-chosen. Bad choice, Chuckie.
