A lifetime of alien abductions, time travel, and a plot to have the mafia murder Fidel Castro were among the fascinating topics explored this past week on Coast to Coast AM. And, here at the C2C website, we told you about a realtor given a hefty fine for secretly drinking some homeowners' milk, a black triangle UFO spotted in Pennsylvania, and a zoo in China that insists their bear is not a human in disguise. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
Time travel took center stage on Monday night's program as paranormal investigator Mike Ricksecker discussed the tantalizing concept of breaking the bounds of the here and now. He postulated that, rather than existing in a straight line, time is actually 'stacked' wherein the past, present, and future are all occurring simultaneously. Arguing that these planes resonate at certain frequencies, he posited that should one be able to 'tune' themselves in the correct fashion, they could journey "up and down" the proverbial pile of time. During his appearance, Ricksecker also discussed time slips, doppelgangers, and his research into shadow people.
This past week saw a pair of puzzling videos showing unusual UFOs that were captured on film by bewildered witnesses. First, a man in Florida was left scratching his head when, while documenting a thunderstorm that had erupted off the coast of a beach, he caught sight of a peculiar anomaly that zipped through the sky at tremendous speed. Unable to identify the object, he mused that it may have been alien nature or perhaps a secret government craft. A similar case occurred later in the week in Pennsylvania, where a woman filmed a set of three lights hovering in the sky outside her home and some theorized that, rather than an ET vehicle, the oddity could have actually be the apocryphal TR-3B spy plane that many believe to be behind the phenomenon of 'black triangle' UFOs.
The alien abduction phenomenon was explored on Sunday night's program as experiencer Byron W. Lacy shared his account of interacting with extraterrestrials throughout his life. He recalled how his first contact with these beings occurred when he was just five years old and diminutive entities appeared in his bedroom at night. As these odd events continued, he eventually came to believe that this was a generational phenomenon that also affected his father and grandfather. Although many abductees understandably see the ETs as sinister, Lacy claimed that they are actually benevolent and that these beings had actually saved his life a total of ten times.
A zoo in China made global headlines this past week when they were forced to issue a statement assuring the public that a bear at the facility was not actually a human in costume. The eyebrow-raising announcement came about after a patron at the patron at the facility captured footage of the creature walking on its hind legs and seemingly sporting wrinkles in its fur. When the video was posted online, it went viral on Chinese social media with many wondering if the animal wasn't really a bear at all. In response, zoo officials stepped forward to squash the speculation, indicating that the creature was a genuine bear and noting that a costumed person would not have been be able to withstand the blistering heat that was occurring when the video was filmed.
The remarkable story of two gangsters who were enlisted to kill Fidel Castro by the CIA back in the 1960s was recounted on Wednesday night's program by Thomas Maier. He explained that, after the communist leader rose to power in Cuba, the intelligence agency was keen to take him out as the country was something of a Russian satellite state. This led to the CIA hiring mafia members Johnny Roselli and Sam Giancana to assassinate Castro in a manner which would allow for plausible deniability by the American government. Chillingly, the plot never came to fruition and, years later, when the duo were murdered just as they were set to testify before Congress about the audacious scheme.
By far the weirdest story of the week came by way of Canada, where a real estate agent was fined a whopping $20,000 after he was busted secretly chugging milk that he had snatched from the refrigerator of a house he was about to show and then putting the container back in the hopes that no one would notice. Alas, his rather brazen bit of thirst quenching was caught on camera by a home security system and, when confronted about what he had done, the remorseful realtor explained that he was on new medication that left him particularly parched that day. The man received no sympathy from the homeowners, who banished him from their residence, and authorities in Canada ultimately wound up fining him $20,000 for "conduct unbecoming" of his profession.
