Hey guys, Steve here. You are listening to one of our original 26 episodes. If you've

listened to any of our new episodes, you're gonna notice that we're sounding a little

different in these ones. Yeah, there's a reason for that. There is. They've been remastered.

They have been remastered. Because they had a really annoying hum. Yeah, I mean a huge

thanks to listener James for doing almost all of the legwork on this thing. Yes. You'll

also notice if you had listened to what we're calling the last 26 episodes before, and

you're re-listening now, the music and sound effects are gone. Yes, we've gone back to

straight audio. So, be warned. We sound a little different today than we do in what

you're about to listen to. Yeah. Bye. Bye.

Well, hey there. It's time for a little unsolved mystery action. You guys up for that?

Okay. Well, first off, my name is Joe. I'm Devon. I'm Steve. Okay. That's a good roll

on here. So, our story starts in the early 70s. There was a breaking at the Hughes Corporation.

The breaking led to the revelation that the ship that had been built by the Hughes Corporation,

the Gloomar Explorer, which was ostensibly built for the exploration of mining of manganese

modules from the ocean floor, was not actually built for that purpose at all. It was actually

part of a CIA project that the Hughes Corporation was providing cover for. So, the Gloomar Explorer

was, it turns out, not mining manganese modules at all. It was raising a Soviet submarine.

What's a manganese module? I'm not even sure what the hell that is. Yeah, there are manganese

modules on the ocean floor and manganese is a rare metal. That's worth a lot of money,

I guess. So, if it weren't so darn expensive to go retrieve those things off the ocean floor,

then we could actually be grabbing those things and utilizing them, but apparently we're

not. Okay.
