Strange Talk S5E07 Ep. 132 Coffins, Cryptids, and Spy Pigeons; Oh My!

As the clock strikes 9pm, the airwaves crackle to life with the sinister hum of Strange Talk. This week, Alyx and Ginelle dive into the latest weird news from around the globe. We kick things off with a shocking story out of Thailand where a woman was found alive and moving inside her coffin after being taken to a Buddhist temple for cremation. From there, we hop over to California, where surf break cameras recently spotted mysterious UFO-like objects hovering over the coastline like they're taking up surfing or scouting for a beach vacation. The headlines only get wilder as we go. A record-breaking football match took place 1,800 meters above Earth (yes, in the sky), Guinness World Records turns 70 and reveals a bunch of unclaimed world record titles waiting for brave souls to grab them, and a former pilot did the most pilot thing ever by turning an old airplane into a two-bedroom apartment on the campus of his flight school in Alaska.Then we climb right off the edge, literally, with Columbia Sportswear’s viral campaign daring flat-Earthers to find the edge of the Earth and take a picture there, and Russia’s new bio-drone program featuring computer-chipped “spy pigeons” straight out of the strangest Cold War sequel imaginable. Finally, we wrap up with a look at what Bigfoot hunters get right in scientifically studying our squatchy cryptid.It’s bizarre, it’s funny, it’s spooky, and it’s packed with the campy, cobwebbed chaos your Thursday night has been waiting for.Music for this episode includes the Strange Talk Intro by Star Silk, Infernal Sky by Karl Casey, and backing tracks by LoFiGeek.
