Summary
IN THIS WEEKEND ARCHIVE EPISODE ORIGINALLY AIRED JANUARY 07, 2020: In December of 2019 the Pentagon did a one-eighty in its claim that it was investigating UFO activity. It now says certain programs previously said to have done so, did not have anything to do with aliens and extraterrestrials. (Pentagon U-F-NOS) *** Queen Elizabeth I once said, “I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king and of a king of England too.” It appears she may also have had a stomach for murder. (Was Queen Elizabeth I a Murderer?) *** A young girl’s imaginary friend turns out to not be imaginary – and they’ve found her bones to prove it. (Bones of a Ghost) *** A bizarre health movement from the 1800s required patients to walk everywhere only on their toes and the balls of their feet. Always. Why? We’ll look at the bizarre health practice of Ralstonism. (The Strange History of Ralstonism) *** Was a woman in New York City abducted in 1989 by a UFO? (The Manhattan Alien Abduction)
