#Ep329: Europe’s Roswell with Mark Olly

from Tommy Cullum's Let's Get Freaky · host Tommy Cullum

Europe’s Roswell – The 1983 Llanilar UFO CrashOn a cold January night in 1983, the quiet Welsh village of Llanilar near Aberystwyth, became the scene of one of Britain’s most compelling and mysterious UFO incidents. A brilliant, high-speed craft streaking across the sky, buzzing the village before clipping treetops and exploding in a shower of exotic metal debris scattered across four fields. What followed has fueled decades of intrigue: whispers of a rapid military clean-up operation, confiscated evidence, and an official silence that many believe amounts to a full-scale cover-up.Often dubbed “Europe’s Roswell,” the Llanilar incident has drawn comparisons to the famous 1947 New Mexico crash — yet with compelling physical evidence that some researchers argue has survived to this day.In this gripping episode, we’re joined by renowned archaeologist, author, historian, and television presenter Mark Olly. Best known for hosting the hit series Lost Treasures and his appearances on Ancient Aliens and other major programs, Mark has spent years investigating this extraordinary Welsh case.Mark takes us deep into the heart of the investigation: the eyewitness testimonies, the recovered fragments, the unexplained military presence, and the tantalizing clues that — when pieced together — point unmistakably to the crash of a craft of unknown origin in the Welsh valleys.In an era of official disclosure and declassified UFO files, the Llanilar incident stands out as a landmark case with hard, physical evidence that refuses to be swept under the rug.If you’ve ever wondered whether a genuine “otherworldly” event could have taken place on British soil — and been quietly buried by authorities — this is the episode you can’t miss.https://amzn.eu/d/1bsgRjuWe are thrilled to announce the official launch of Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit The New Marketing Show Trinity Web Media The New Marketing Show by Trinity Web Media discusses how we as marketers are problem solvers.
