Summary
In this episode I’m joined by Tim from Canberra, who has experienced some truly bizarre things in the sky throughout his life. Most striking of all was a close encounter in suburban Melbourne with a roiling, bubbling plasmatic red orb that appeared to be observing him and his family from above. The object burned with incredible brightness before suddenly blinking out and seemingly disguising itself as a normal star in the night sky. Tim has also witnessed more traditional cigar-shaped UFO craft and several other strange aerial phenomena over the years. We also dive into a story passed down, where his aunty was attacked in her car by a vicious pterodactyl-like cryptid in Canberra, an encounter that left her shaken and questioning what exactly is flying through our skies. From UFOs and strange aerial lights to flying cryptids, big cats and other unexplained encounters, Tim and I go down plenty of rabbit holes and share our thoughts on the possible origins of these mysterious phenomena. If you enjoy stories of UFO encounters, cryptids, and high strangeness in Australia, you’re going to enjoy this one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
