Summary

Tonight's episode starts with the coverage of a strange and funny case involving aliens and holiday pies. On January 4, 1979, Mrs. Jean Hingely of the town of Rowley Regis in the West Midlands region of England was visited by three fishbowl-helmeted and friendly aliens with wings. After some spiritually uplifting exchanges, her holiday visitors thrashed her Christmas tree and nicked three of her mincemeat pies. The second part of our episode features heartwarming personal stories of hope from some of our listeners. These stories may not be proof of an afterlife for some, but for others, they may bolster the belief that our existence doesn't end with our physical death and that somewhere there is a world where everything we cherish is waiting for us, and proof that love is eternal and boundless.

0:38.1	our listeners, for making tonight's show possible.
0:42.1	Some stories are so bizarre, they'll have you questioning everything about them.
0:47.6	Tales so preposterous that a critical evaluation of them becomes something of a joke.
0:52.4	But, we've learned from the history of astonishing legends that the people telling these
0:57.5	implausible stories are often more stalwart in their beliefs of the details than folks who've
1:02.7	experienced something less complicated. What does that mean? Tonight's legend is just such a tale.
1:10.5	Dating back to Christmas 1978. Of course, we'll have our fun with our anchor story tonight.
1:16.6	After all, one of the reasons we started this show was to have a chuckle at stories like
1:21.2	Mrs. Hingely of the Mints' Piaelians. We can't help but wonder if these things are intentionally
1:26.9	presenting themselves in comforting and observed ways at the same time.
1:32.4	Could there be a reason for that? Could our minds sometimes be hijacked as palettes to paint
