Are Aliens Real and (more importantly) are they Gay?

Roswell. Hoax photos. Desert people. Racist and factually incorrect History Channel shows. What do all of these things have in common? Aliens. In this episode, Jared and Abe uncover the truth about the history of alien abductions, tackling tough questions such as: Where did this phenomenon come from? What is the first recorded alien abduction? What’s up with the probing? And most importantly, what the hell was going on in New Hampshire? Tangents include, but are not limited to, barefoot shoes, the jump scare from the movie E.T., and the medieval mentally ill.SOURCESAbduction, Surgery, and Madness: An Account of a Little Red Man in Thomas Walsingham's Chronica Maiora They Know Us Better Than We Know Ourselves: The History and Politics of Alien Abduction (2007) by Bridget BrownAfter the Flying Saucers Came: A Global History of the UFO Phenomenon by Greg EghigianIndeed They Have Invaded.
