In this episode, we're talking about the man from Tau Red.

I'm Don Betanelli, and joining me today is Jimmy Aiken.

Hey, Jimmy.

How do, Dom?

In the 1950s, a man arrived at an airport in Japan.

He proceeded through customs, but a problem emerged.

When he presented his passport, officials were startled to see that it said he came from a country

called Tau Red. They'd never heard of Tau Red, and neither had anyone else. They took the man into

custody, but he vanished. Who was the man from Tau Red? Where did he say Tau Red was? And could

he have come from a parallel world where Tau Red was an actual country?

That's what we'll be talking about on this episode of Jimmy Yakin's mysterious world.

So, Jimmy, where does our mystery begin today?

Well, it begins in Japan, and specifically it begins at Haneda Airport. Today, Haneda Airport is one of two major airports in the greater

Tokyo area. The other Narita International Airport opened in 1978, so it wasn't there in

1954, but Haneda Airport was. This was just nine years after Japan surrendered at the end of

World War II. And by the way, there's a really fascinating story about that, which we covered previously on

Mysterious World.
