Welcome to episode 17 - Kentucky

First up in Weird News, James brings us a story about mans best friend receiving an honor he so justly deserves.

Then in this week's main topic, Captain Thomas Mantell was called on to investigate a large unidentified object hovering over Fort Knox, Kentucky in 1948. What happened next is as tragic as it is cryptic. Did a UFO shoot down Captain Mantell? Or did he die as a result of misidentification of the planet Venus or a Skyhook Balloon? Tune in and find out!
