Great episode. Great show ! Long live Communism.

1 - 4 are good. I liked the world building of the over arching war.

You guys should cover the alien autopsy hoax

Jake I appreciate that someone else loved Sliders - such underrated 90s scifi (at least the early seasons)

I met Travis Walton in 2017. He signed a FITS poster for me that says, "Andrew, take my advice -- stay in the truck". I love it, as this movie eff'd me up bad when it came out. That said, watching his presentation at this local center and hearing all the UFO enthusiasts talk about it defanged it for me. I think I was more pilled than when I went in there. The whole thing stank of upper crust baby boomers bank rolling his circuit and the documentary, which didn't ever really offer any exciting revelations. You could feel the yoga mom class' financial necessity to the whole enterprise. In my imagination, it was so much more. In person, just a grift.

You guys might not exist but I have it on good authority that fictional Jake’s doppelgänger was seen in 2018 eating fish tacos in a parking lot in Los Feliz.

Fire in the Sky came out in 1993, not 1975. The alleged abduction occurred in 1975.

Same. Had me thinking Philip Glass had an unusual hobby.

Everyone knows the Welsh are weird...

As a proud Welsh person, I need Jake to know that Rhys is pronounced “Reese.” I wouldn’t expect him to know that and I hope I’m not coming off as a hater.

Really disappointed that I misheard and minimalist composer Philip Glass didn’t make a surprise appearance in this this episode. Koyaanisqatsi indeed

The flashback scene is one of the great sequences in mediocre movie history. If you cut out everything but that scene and released it as a horror short, it'd be a classic.

The thing that makes me laugh about this story is if we take Travis Walton's story as true, these would be some frat boy type aliens. They're out here chilling in the middle of the woods, encounter uncontacted lifeforms, flip out and accidentally zap a guy half to death, spend 5 days trying to revive a member of the species that they'd have at best limited interactions with, and then finally drop him off someplace completely random. Absolutely amazing.

Abductions are real cannot convince me otherwise
