Ep. 10 ENCOUNTERS: Honey I Shrunk the Aliens

On this week's episode we chat about Close Encounters of the WEIRD Kind! We head over to Marisa's favorite topic, aliens. Siho brings us the legend of Utsuro-bune, "hollow boat". In this strange encounter a group of Japanese fisherman's catch of the day could be an alien…or a Russian woman on the run? Then we head over to Malaysia where Marisa brings us the serial invasion of mini-aliens and mini-UFOs spotted by children in the 1970s and 1980s. Encounters of the third kind for third graders!   Show Notes https://www.nzgeo.com/stories/x-files/ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/close-encounters-of-an-intimate-kind-peking-days-1611554.html https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/thailand-ufo-buddhist-aliens/index.html http://agent-8971.x-files.tripod.com/id26.html https://obscurban-legend.fandom.com/wiki/Alor_Island_Humanoids https://www.faena.com/aleph/utsuro-bune-the-legend-of-an-extraterrestrial-arrival-by-sea https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/utsuro-bune/ https://medium.com/@cybertheticproject/malaysias-miniature-alien-mystery-unveiling-the-enigmatic-encounters-of-tiny-visitors-9e7247302907 https://journal.com.ph/the-weird-invasion-of-miniature-aliens-in-malaysia/ http://pinktentacle.com/2009/07/the-case-of-the-captured-mini-ufo-1972/
