Joe, Jennifer & Ian 2

Earthship Radio - ELFTREE MEDIA

This week on Earthship Radio, Joe gets the RV back up and running so the he, Jennifer and Ian can talk about unsolved mysteries and alien sightings in renaissance paintings.
*Cue X-Files theme song*
Jennifer breaks out the story of the Taman Shud case, also known as the Mystery of the Somerton Man.
Happening in Adelaide Australia in 1948, the Somerton Man was found laying against the seawall with some confusing items on his person, without any sort of identification, a spleen three times it’s normal size and a scrap of paper containing the words "Taman Shud." Over the next few months many other mysterious leads pop up, including a suitcase full of clothes with their tags removed, some orange thread only found in America, the sudden appearance of the copy of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam from which the previous scrap had been torn, an unbreakable code handwritten inside said book, a woman who was visibly distressed upon seeing the man even though she denied any knowledge of who he was, and theories that this man was a soviet spy. Quite an interesting unsolved mystery.
Then Jennifer tells the tale of the "Wow!” signal, a mysterious transmission picked up in 1977 by SETI and never heard from again. Was it aliens? Who knows, but this leads to curiosities of how long we’ve been intercepting and seeing contact from Extra Terrestrials. They wrap up their time in the RV with a brief story about bot flied making their home inside a human man’s testicles. All this and more on episode 13 of Earthship Radio.
