The Imjärvi Incident
from Believing the Bizarre: Paranormal Podcast · host Believing the Bizarre | Paranormal Podcast
The Imjärvi Incident | Paranormal Podcast This week, we headed to January 1970 in the frozen forests of southern Finland to cover the Imjärvi UFO incident, where two experienced, credible cross-country skiers named Aarno and Esko stopped for a rest in a clearing and watched a metallic disc descend from a glowing cloud just meters above the ground, accompanied by a buzzing that wouldn't quit and a beam of intense white light that scorched a perfect circle into the snow. Standing inside that beam was a three-foot-tall pale being in a green coverall with a hooked nose, claw-like fingers, and a black box aimed directly at Arno that pulsed harder and harder until colored sparks shot out of the snow and drifted slowly across both men. What followed the encounter is where things really went sideways. Aarno couldn't hold his weight, urinated black, became incoherent, had what a doctor described as textbook radiation exposure symptoms that lasted for months, and that was before the strange woman in yellow claimed to be from a peaceful green world across the galaxy and started showing up uninvited wherever he went. 🛸 Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon. 🛸 Support Producer Ben and pick up his book: Suitcases, Shenanigans, and Sunburns 🛸 Have a paranormal encounter or story you'd like told on the podcast?
