How well do you know Japan?

Do you know why so many stone statues of Ojizo and foxes wear red bibs and have pinwheels clicking softly beside them.

the hidden, fascinating, and sometimes terrifying corners of a country I call home.

If you too are charmed by Japan and want to learn a little more about these obscure bits of culture,

Well, good evening to my fellow tinfoil hats. I am just another tinfoil hat. Welcome to my show. Today, we'll be discussing the fascinating case of the Lomo de Biana mummies.

Now, this is a weird case, and occurred despite incorrect reporting on the part of the sole witness in 1952.

At the emergent peak of the contactee movement, and as we'll see, this case is weird, and it just gets weirder in a very space brotherly way. So, put on your seatbelts

and keep your hands and feet in the saucer because this is going to be a wild ride.
