Bigfoot and the Beast of Bray Road, skepticism surrounding UAPs, and battles with demons were among the fascinating topics covered this past week on Coast to Coast AM. And, here at the C2C website, we told you about the possible detection of alien signals by scientists in China, the Russian space agency chief's musings about UFOs, and a firewalk in Switzerland that left dozens injured. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
The nature of demons was explored on Tuesday night's program as paranormal consultant June Lundgren shared insights from her work communicating and eradicating these sinister spirits which wreak havoc on the lives of their unfortunate victims. She explained that these entities are former angelic beings who were cast out of heaven by God and, as such, were stripped of their physical properties while being relegated to a 'dark realm.' Lundgren indicated that there are many classes of demons with the older entities being more cunning than their younger counterparts, which are more apt to cause chaos in our physical world.
Indicative of how UFOs have grabbed hold of the zeitgeist in recent years, this past week saw several prominent individuals weigh in with their thoughts on the phenomenon. First, the head of the Russian space agency made headlines when he conceded that there is a slim possibility that Earth is being visited by aliens and mused that they could be studying humans in a manner akin to how we study bacteria. Meanwhile, famed British astronaut Tim Poole told a morning TV show that he suspects that the UAPs seen by military pilots are otherwordly. And, during an appearance on the Late Show with James Corden, former president Bill Clinton reflected on his experience trying to get to the bottom of the UFO mystery while he was in office.
Curious creatures were a hot topic of conversation on Coast to Coast AM this past week, beginning with Sunday night's show wherein researcher Amy Bue discussed her interest in Bigfoot, which began with her own sighting of the famed cryptid back in 2012. During her appearance, she delved into the debate over whether Sasquatch is a flesh and blood animal or some kind of supernatural being. Then, on Thursday night's program, paranormal investigator Eric Mintel talked about bipedal canine cryptids such as the famed 'Beast of Bray Road' dog man, which he may have encountered in Wisconsin this past October.
This past week featured what could be the start of a paradigm-shifting story as it was revealed that China's alien-hunting telescope has already picked up a handful of signals that scientists have deemed "suspicious" and possibly emanating from extraterrestrials. Detailed in a state-run Chinese media outlet, the intriguing three detections were made by the five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, also known as FAST over the last three years. Although researchers at the facility did their best to downplay the development, the very fact that it came to light is seen by many as a tantalizing tip of the hand from China that perhaps they are getting closer to finding that elusive message from ETs that we've been waiting on for so very long.
While the UFO phenomenon has undoubtedly captured the imagination of the general public, not everyone is convinced that the mysterious military UAP cases that have come to light in recent years are, in fact, alien in nature. On Wednesday night's program, skeptic Michael Shermer made the case for why these puzzling anomalies are probably not visitors from another world, arguing that their perceived technology is incongruous with what one would expect an advanced space-faring civilization to possess. As such, he suggested that these cases were likely caused by prosaic factors such as camera errors or mylar balloons.
By far the most bizarre story of the week came by way of Switzerland, where a company's team-building event for employees wound up turning disastrous after dozens of people needed to be hospitalized following a failed firewalk exercise. The normally safe stroll across hot coals that is something of a fixture at corporate retreats and motivational seminars went wildly awry and caused a whopping 25 workers from the marketing company Goldbach to suffer burns on their feet that were significant enough to require medical attention. As of now, authorities have no idea what could have caused the curious incident which became an employee bonding experience in the worst possible way.
