I almost forgot about the listener story. Oh I forgot. Not let it let you forget that. I also forgot. Oh you're right, you're right. Yeah, before we get into the case, though, we do have a listener story, and if you want to send us, sorry, it's too early for fireworks. Oh I heard them.

Lots of voice to get it to us. We love receiving them. This one is actually it was left on a TikTok comment years ago. One of my first videos that got a lot of views was about Burlington in Stockton, California. We've talked about it, so all Burlington's are haunted? Then? Is that? What? Yes, that's the theory that MG and I started thinking because I'm like the in here, yeah, and then this Stockton or the Burlington in Stockton, California. I made a video about it and one it went MENI viral because I mispronounced Burlington and you know, how did you say it? I said Burlington's with an S at the end. Oh it's not Burlington's. I tho was Burlington's code factory. It's not. Well again it is, but people say Burlington. I guess not Burlington's because I'm like this Storrent' stocked. This Burlington's in Stockton, California is hunted, is what I said. And then people like it's burlnkedon not Burlington's, and I'm like, fuck you, I don't care. Okay, sorry, I'm so they're saying it's Burlington Burlington's unless you're saying the whole thing. Oh yeah, unless you're saying Burlington's cold factory, then apparently it's Burlington not Burlington's. Unless people just thatching me. I don't know. I think people just like to correct it because why that doesn't make sense. It's still Burlington's. It's like, you don't call it may it's Macy's, always not Macy when that doesn't make sense. But you know what I'm saying, Like, no, I exactly why I said Burlington's. But yeah, people were all caught up on that, and I'm like, who cares? Wow, but you may you say one run thing in a video and that's the reason that it gets a ton of views, like came is rage Bader apparently accidentally because people were mad about Burlington. That's crazy. Anyway, Moving past that, Wow, yeah, who cares? Yeah my bad? I did. Yeah. There's an allegedly haunted Burlington's co factory in Stockton, California, and I made a video about it that there's a little girl that haunts a part of the store where the toys are at or some shit. Isn't the same little girl? Because you heard a little girl laugh at your Burlington? Yeah, but I wasn't in Stockton. I know, That's what I said. Is it a little girl in all Burlington's? She just travels from Burlington to Burlington. Yeah, maybe they're opening up a new Burlington's near me. I'm gonna go with my little Well, I don't have a thing, you know, I'll send you one. You're not going to I'm not going to do it. I know I would never do that. I would never. I wouldn't never. Anyway, this story was left in a comment of that video. That's the story they're referring to the right, right right. Should we get into it then? Yeah? Okay? Oh should we say what's from It's from Maya? Yeah, Denise, Okay. I worked there for years. It's haunted. Even in the cash room, the girl is in there. There's always a man following in the baby department. It only gets spooky around ten pm after we close. Persons would have fly off shelves and across the floor. At night when I would be counting money with the auditor, the auditor saw the girl in the window. There are times when we wanted to review footage and it would be static. I was in associate and they're promoted to management, and I can confirm the hauntings are real only before or after store hours. In the baby department, when you're cleaning or recovering, you'll see a shadow walk by and you follow or check to see who it is, and there's no one there, but they think it's the man, the one from the baby department. There's a man and a girl. Then yeah, there's a man and a girl in addition to the person's line off the shells and across the floor. One night after they close, they all watched the mug fly across the aisle. Keep that in mind when you shop at Burlington in Stockton, California. Yeah, and actually, if you go and you see something, send us a message, send it to us please. So, yeah, thanks so much for sending that in. Let's get into this weird, creepy UFO case. Let's get into it. Yes, Okay, So toward the end of nineteen seventy seven, the towns of Mosco, Colarees, Belem, monte Are, santarem Adua, and Manaos all in the state of Bara in northern Brazil. All these cities slash towns, villages, whatever, they were being terrorized by UFOs. What many of these sightings resulted in actual injuries? Oh? Okay, wow dangerous. Today I'm sharing what is known today as Operation Saucer in English Plato if you've directly translated to Spanish, but in Portuguese Brato. I love how they talk. I wish I could do it. I should learn Portuguese. You know. Sometimes I can read it very slowly because some of it is similar to it to Spanish. I can someone understand it when they're talking too, just like Italian because it sounds like Spanish. Yeah, same thing in a show. I can understand a lot of it. But some of it I'm like, oh, yeah, it's like quite speaking Spanish incursive, right almost yeah, yeah, so yeah, that's probably I learned that from Babel or New Spouncer, not just kidding, hey Babel. And these are probably the most like the biggest collective sightings to have occurred in Brazil. But again, it's not the first case people think of when you hear UFO and Brazil. It's usually the Vada something something sighting. We've talked about it. Oh okay, I was like, I just I can't pronounce the city. But it's a very pop other famous case. That's the one people think of, not this one. So Operation Saucer refers to the investigation that was carried out between October and night. Sorry, if you can hear my children criting, I don't know what's going on out there, but it's loud, so I'm sure you might be able to hear it. Yeah. Operation Saucer refers to the investigation that was carried out between October and nineteen seventy seven to January nineteen seventy eight and Kolaires and the surrounding cities. The military didn't arrive until October, but settings started in August of that year, nineteen seventy seven. So the military arrived like in response to others or they were already goted to investigate. Oh wow, and it's name, the name Operation Saucer is the investigation that they collected. But the sightings started before that. They took a long ass time to get there. You said they started in August, right, Yeah, and they didn't go until October. One of the first sightings took place in Santo Antonio the wah da wa sorry for I know we have one listener that for sure is in Brazil really suchat on Twitter when Twitter was a thing, and so I'm sorry if I mispronouncing everything corrector yeah. And this happened on August twenty first, nineteen seventy seven, at nine thirty pm, Nina Martin's Da Silva was alone in her house and she looked out of her window and saw a light moving slowly. It was a low height and it was moving from east to west. It was only twenty meters or sixty five feet above the trees on the road next to her window. And when she saw this thing, it was eerily quiet. And just twenty minutes before she saw this thing, she had seen other lights moving around in the sky, but this one was different than those. This one was bright yellow and red. And her sighting was dismissed because her neighbor said she had mental problems. These mental problems were likely epilepsy. I don't think epilepsy discredits someone's credibility personally, Yeah, but they were like, whatever, she's crazy. So about ten days later, on September two, at ten pm, also in the same town, San Antonio, Another woman, seventy seven year old Amelia Martins, also had an encounter. She was walking from Santo Antonio to her house with her daughters. When they were two kilometers or one point two miles away from her house, she saw a light coming from their right. It was reddish yellow, like a very bright headlight, and it cut across the road diagonally, then abruptly changed directions, heading straight to her and her daughters. I just can't. I can't visualize this at all, Like you have to explain no, no, if you're on video, this will be visually explained with my toys that are next to me. So pretend that this is her and her daughter's just this thing, right, And so they're walking and then there's a light ahead of them just right, Okay. Then as it's going diagonally, it stops, turns towards them and whorectly toward them. I see. Actually, yeah, you're welcome. Yeah again, that will be on video if you follow us on YouTube or patron. Video is also there if you're confused like me. Yeah, So it was heading straight to her and her daughters, and they ran, scared for their lives and tried to hide behind a tree. I always picture cartoons when there's like a skinny tree and then you're just sticking out because it doesn't hide you. Yeah. Yeah, So they were hiding behind a tree, and they watched the flying objects stop in front of them where they were hiding, and it's just stayed there for several minutes, like facing the tree they were at. That's like menacing. I don't know, I don't like it. Creepy. Then it slowly turned around and headed in the opposite direction towards the town of Belem, and then it was gone. So at least nothing happened to them. Yeah, that's right, because you said there's some injuries. There will be injuries. Yes. If she later described it to be four feet wide, it looked like an upside down plane. No, not upside down, like it inverted plate Oh okay, like I guess, like a V instead of a U. Yeah, so like but in plate form. Yeah. I had a sharp protuberance on the top and that's where the red lights point from. Oh, like a thing, like a thing with the perturberance. Really, you've never heard that word, you know about when I was taking anatomy A N P and A and P two. You had to look at bones, and the bones have protuberances. Oh, I see, well I never took anatomy, so okay, and I just like saying the word now, you know, it's a cool word, protuberance. Anyway, So a thing had a thing sticking out on top, and that's where the red light was coming from, out of the thing sticking out at the top, and then that light, the red light would come out, but then it would occasionally turn blue, and sometimes it made the whole flying object thing look transparent. And she didn't see anything that inside of the object, so she didn't see what was piloting it. Other people would and later. And it was also moving slow, but at times so fast she couldn't comprehend how fast, like she had never seen anything this fast her entire life. Her daughters confirmed her story separately, like they saw the same thing, They described the same thing. They just start described feeling afraid, but she didn't feel scared. She thought it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Wow, just like Quannas right right, Oh my god, I forgot about that, but yeah, just like Wannas. A few days after that, Batrice Almanda da Costa also had an encounter. She was in her house with her kids when suddenly she saw a ray of red lights come through her roof. Okay, that's kind of worse if you're like in your house, like, yeah, look it to your house, what do you Yeah, yeah, that's such an invasion of privacy. You're not even outside, like yeah right. She felt chills all over her body when she saw those lights, and then she felt paralyzed. She couldn't move other than that she was shaking in fear. That's all she could do. Right after this happened, her sister opened the door and walked in because she was it was like a planned visit. But her sister didn't see or hear anything. And then Battery started feeling pain in her shoulder blades. What after this occurrence? Yes, then the next day, so that this is now the tenth of September. The next day, she saw the same red light in her house again, the same thing. It went through the rooftop. This time it was at three thirty in the morning. Oh my god, this time it chased her. What she like tried to run to her room, and the red light kind of like it looked like, you know, like a scan bar you're scanning. Yeah, it looked like that, but in her house and like like that's and then it it seemed to have gone through her shoulders, what like her shoulder blades, and that's where she felt the pain worsen. Oh no, then it happened to her again on October thirteenth. What the hell? Same thing? What is going on? Right? And she wasn't the only one that's happened to, because the same thing happened to avel Soarestrinda on September fourteenth, at nine thirty pm. He was sitting in his living room listening to the radio when suddenly a blueish light came through his roof. He felt paralyzed, but he also felt like he had like his head was expanding from the inside. What he felt what he felt like his head was expanding on the inside, like someone I'm assuming, like a really bad headache. I'm picturing what's his name? Okay? Remember Jimmy Neutron? Yes? Oh god? When Shane, Yes, okay, I could remember. She was a shine. I don't remember, but yeah, his friend that episode where his head grows and because he's smart or whatever, it grows and it's like growing and growing that's what I'm picturing. Yeah, and I think that's what he felt like, but it was happening. Yeah, yeah, I understood that. Okay. He tried to scream for help, but no sound came out. It was like something was blocking his throat. Then finally it felt like forever, but really was a few minutes. The light went away. He could move again, but he had an intense headache and throat pain for several days. Wow, they gave him covid, right, remember a last time, last episode with the Aliens, they also gave us covid. I said that. Oh my god, they also give us cold. I remember why, I said, I just remember saying it. I forgot about that. Yeah, I have to check I do. I don't remember either. Oh. It was because the Aliens were speaking through the pilot and they said that they were responsible for all world events for some shit like that. Yes, yeah, that's right. Then on September twenty second, at nine thirty pm, they seem to like this hour. M yeah, this is what the second or third time they go bother people at this time. Yeah, Remundo Francisco, that's Chaga so walking to his house from San Antonio. I don't know I wrote, though, but that seems wrong. It could be. I don't know, I don't know. He was smoking, walking, chilling, have a good having a good time, just strolling until until he saw a very bright yellow light coming in his direction, as if a car was driving straight to him, and those were the headlights, Like, that's what it looked like. So he turned around and ran, leaving the path that he was walking on and hiding behind some bushes, but the light found him. He ran again, the light behind him. The whole time he's like booking, Oh no, oh no. He finally he found uh, some palm trees to hide behind. Not not a very good hiding spot, but whatever, Like, you do what you can, honestly, So he was saying, as still as he could, and he could see rays of blue lights sweeping the area, like scanning what the fuck like it was looking for him, But he was too scared to look at the object to like see what it was chasing him, so he didn't get a look at all. I wouldn't look either, No me neither. I would like throw up and I don't know, die die. Yeah. The whole time that this thing was near him, chasing him, he heard a hissing sound that reminded him of an irrigation pump. What the hell? Yeah, I don't know. Eventually the object turned around and headed west, leaving him alone. Gave up. He was carrying things before on his walk home and he lost everything when he was running. Wow, I wonder way he was carrying. Yeah, and he also felt a numb for several days after the incident. What weird. Very and the sightings just kept going and colarrees. On October tenth, Orlando Ponelldrida saw a bright blue light over the world. At first it looked like a light on a ship, but then when he saw it move up and down in the sky too high, He's like, okay, that's not a boat. Oh yeah. And also I kept doing this until five point thirty am, so all night. And then he saw it disappear into the sea. So yeah, not a boat. But weird, weird, very very weird. Yeah. The next day, back in Santo Antonio, the ubintuba. Sorry, these are very hard for me. Miguel at Canchello, So what is A thirty two year old farm worker was getting ready to go to the town of Bihia when he heard his neighbors shout, there it goes, there goes. He ran out of his back door and then he saw a reddish yellow light moving slowly sixty meters in the sky, so two hundred feet high. Also, I don't know how people know how high, Like like, if I saw something in the sky, I wouldn't be able to tell you how. So people just know how to measure things by I, you know, eyebollying it. Yeah, not me though, because I'm dumb me either, because I'm also them. Like my point in all this is that I'm a dumb bitch and I couldn't tell you like it was ten feet. I couldn't even do that. Well, I feel like if you look at something you're like it looks toler than me, then that would be a good reference point. I just feel like because I'm so sure and everything is toileered than me, excuse my viewpoint on how hikings are You know what I mean, I do know, I mean fifty one hundred feet. I don't know. I don't know, but they know because they're smart, right, right, So this was sixty meters high or almost two hundred feet high, and it was emitting emitting. It was emitting emitting yes, a ray of blue light, and as he saw the object, a wave of fear took over his body and he yelled for his wife to get back inside the house. Then when he tried to turn around and run back inside himself, he felt a sudden jolt of like shock, like somebody shocked him, like the rain of light that he was looking at aimed at him and shocked him. Oh it's not good. No. He felt paralyzed immediately, and then a numbnis from head to toe, then chills, then he felt really hot. Oh wow, that's a whole array of things there. He just went through like everything through all the symptoms of everything. Just yeah, like went out to the other. Wow. And then for several days after this incident, his voice was warse, his throat hurt, and then the back of his neck was in extreme pain. They gave him COVID yeah, or the flu one of them. Yeah. And he wasn't the only one hurt by this light emitted by the UFO. The next day, October twelfth, nineteen seventy seven, around two am this time, manoel Matos de Susa saw a light hovering twenty meters above the ground over the trees. Sixty five feet really, yeah, so twenty meters or sixty five feet above the trees that are in his neighborhood. It's pretty high. Yeah. This thing was blue with three vertical stripes in the center, and it was round and it was lighting up everything around it. He pointed his gun at it, and when he did that, he was hit by a ray of red light. Damn. They shot back at him. They said, I'm shot fired for pulling up on you pull up yep, we're strapping to Yeah. When the ray of red light hit him, he felt like a electricity, like shocked, and it paralyzed him. And where it hit him, he was sore for days. Damn. Who can say that that they were shot by a UFO. Not a lot of people. Oh yeah, except everyone their moms during this time period of these towns in Brazil. Yeah, yeah, except everyone here. That same day, but at eleven thirty pm, twenty year old Manoel do Espiritu Santo was in front of his house with some friends Julio, Paolo Decca and Carlito. They were chilling and then he saw a yellow light that was moving the sky. It started to slow down in speed and then it stopped sixty five feet in front of them. They liked this distance. Twenty meters. When it stopped in front of him and his friends, he could see two crew members inside of the UFO. Two crew members, yeah, two crew members. They appeared to be human like. One was like a man and one was like a woman. Wow. The man was on the left side, the woman on the right side, and they were wearing glasses so blind release, and they were wearing what looked to be communication gear, so like a headseaer, earphone something like that. And the beings inside the ship directed a ray of light toward the group. They could tell they were the ones controlling the light, damn. And they aimed it immediately. Yeah, they made eye contact with them, and they're like bye, bitch. Yes. As soon as the light hit them all simultaneous, they felt all of them like a jolt of electricity hitting them. What And then they felt numb. This is the safe thing, as the other guy felt the numbness. Yes, yeah, from their head to their toes, they felt numb. They felt paralyzed their arms and legs they could not move, but they were still like aware. And then they saw the object turn around and move away. The further got the more they could move. When it was gone, they still felt numb, but they could finally like move again. And they described this thing as a reddish yellow star. It turned more yellow as it got closer to them, and then there was a bluish light coming out from the top part. Wow, from the protuberance. It was shaped like a barrel with a thin tube and then another more slender, skinnier tube horizontally from the barrel shape. I'll find a drawing to put here, kay, send to you because I'm like, I heard this. I'm like, I don't know what this looks like still even with this description, I'm sorry. And the horizontal part is what was emitting the ray of blue light. They described it as four point five feet wide and that it looked a little transparent. So like, all these descriptions are very similar to one another. They're matching up. Yeah, and they also have the same like lights also, like the color of lights and stuff. Yeah, everyone's describing the same thing. Yeah. And then the way it moved, it like it climbed straight up in a wavy emotion like a leaf in the wind, which is a very common description and a lot of UFO cases a leaf in the wind until it reached a certain altitude and then it just it got very fast and left after it reached a certain height. Sorry, I just had to sign. Sometimes you just have to. I have to side because I'm tired. I get it, I get it. I'm not yeah, yeah judging here. The holidays maybe over, but we're still very tired, little tired girlies because that was a lot, like all year or the holidays, both everything. I'll have it. Yeah, but you know, I'm so tired.

That ba shao ba shao, by shoo, one of those pai xao I don't know by show. Maybe maybe I'll stop, I'll stop saying it like that. I can't. On October eighteenth, nineteen seventy seven, at eleven pm, she was sleeping in a hammock in a room with her cousin and her kids when she saw a light that traveled all over her body. Mind you that the town's electricity was shut off at ten pm, so she knew this wasn't like carmal or yeah. Yeah, So the light went into the house, traveled all over her body like a lantern, she described it. Then it struck her on the left side of her chest, and then apparently it like sucked blood from her what. Yeah, Then the light went down the back of her right hand, and then she felt like she was pricked by a needle. She tried to cry out for help, but she couldn't make a single sound. Nothing was coming out. Her body was half paralyzed, and everything was green, like the whole room turned green like a green light. She fell well, he in her breast where it felt like it had sucked blood from her. The back of her right hand was so painful. She had a headache, and it felt like an elephant sitting down her chest, like there's great pressure on her chest. Wow. She could see the UFO and inside there was a pair of beings, a man and a woman with glass yes. Yes, but she describes their skin as transparent and that they had like almond eyes. They in Spanish, they described it as but I'm not going to do that. Oh, I mean yeah, yeah, well that's like the better descriptor it's not. And they were big, so big almond shaped eyes. Cute. Yeah. One of them seemed to be holding a gun, which is what was emitting the light that was hurting her. What is the purpose of this really doing? I don't know. I don't know. I wish I knew who was the reason? Yeah, right, there is no reason right. The screens of her cousin woke her up. She also saw the light and screamed, and then Claudo Mira cried out Marinaro that I am ruin. The animals sucked me. And turns out that she wasn't the only one who felt like a second sensation. Oh my god, I've never heard this before, like yeah, and a lot of people, well, the chupacabras wasn't a thing yet right around the world. I think there were stories still local to Puerto Rico with other names that wasn't to chupa cabras. So the chupacabras was in a thing. But I think like if it was, people would be like, oh my god, it's the chupacabras. But instead they started they started calling it chupa chupa, So they called this thingchachupa. Yeah. M interesting, yeah, because she wasn't the only one who felt the same thing. But that's what I am ruined. And she was actually treated by a doctor, Welie, who sent her to the Institut UH the Medical Examiner's office in the city of Belem. There she was examined by another doctor. She's she had a bunch of exams that followed after this insitance or this incident, that's what I incident. But she everything was found to be healthy, normal with her, but she suffered from migraines for her entire life after this happened. They don't fucked her up, Yeah they did, she said Marino they ruined me. No, she did say that, yeah, and she meant it sadly. And the signings just continued. There was a ton of them. I can't even read them all because there's so many documented sidings. It's insane. Wow. By the end of this whole ordeal, the doctor that treated Claudo Mida doctor laid she said that. And she was working in Coladis at the time, so the same place where all the signings were happening. It was like the group of I'll show you a map, but the cities that all all of this was happening were all next to each other on the northern coast of Brazil basically. So Doc was working in Colades at the time, and she remembers treating at least forty people who came in with burns or claiming to have their blood sucked by the same thing. Oh my god, like, what what is happening? At least two of them died according to her, Oh wow. And she recalls when the Air Force came to investigate, they knew of these forty people who were burned and the two that died. What the fuck? This should be a movie, I know, right, I think it would be actually, I think it would be a good show, kind of like uh, Midnight Mass but with these aliens. Yeah, Mike finally gonna get on this. So the sightings continued. It was getting worse and worse. The residents of these towns all of a sudden they were going to try and fight back. They were like, we're sick of this, We're we're fighting my god, how do you fight back at light? Well, they started organizing nightly vigils. They lit fires and fireworks. Oh, speaking of trying to work up the things. Yeah, wow, speaking of fireworks. Right then, the mayor asked for the Air Force to come investigate, and they finally arrived in October of that year. But it wasn't until pilots started having their own encounters that they were like, okay, something's going on. So that's when they sent in a small team consisting of a Captain Urangeanda and six sergeants and they had cameras, tape recorders and I don't know what a THEODO light is Theodore light either. THEODO light is a presition optical instrument for measuring angles between designated visible points in the horizontal and vertical planes. I don't know what that means. I don't know what that means, measuring angles horizontally and vertically. Okay, but like why, yeah, I don't know. It doesn't matter to My whole question to all of this is why. So the team of seven recorded interviews, pictures, documented, but after four months the case was closed. They stated they found no unusual phenomena. What about? What about everything that happened? Yeah? Yeah right. My only guess is that once they showed up, the aliens were like, it's getting hot. We can't be here anymore. Yeah, like in the movies and shows when they're like, no, no, it's too hot right now, we have to go to another city and wait for things to cool down. Yeah, yeah, that's what they said, basically, probably, I don't know. So when the final report came out, it had five hundred pages of documents. It was a five hundred page report, but no phenomenon was found, Like what make it make sense? Right? They had hundreds of photos and motion pictures of the alleged UFOs, maps and sketches, and all of this was sent to the Air Force headquarters in like the Top Top headquarters of Brazil. One of the records that made public until May twenty twenty and five because ufologists were like pressuring and demanding the release of these documents. And that's finally, finally when they were released, it became public and they the documents all contained summaries of more than three hundred sightings. More than three hundred. Yeah, that's why I said, I can't read them all. Yeah, I'm gonna remember to put in my sources. There's a website called the Black Fault. It's actually really good for like a bunch of UFO type research. Like, but they have an insane amount of these documents and you can see all of them. I just picked out like five or six sightings because it's too long to include everything. It's too long. Yeah, but yeah, three hundred sightings and encounters that that's what they collected in Colaris and all the villages. There was some other reports in there that the captain and the sergeants themselves experienced too. They're investigating team oh, had their own experiences. And then the once the main investigator, or Landa, retired, he decided that he was no longer obligated to remain silent about sorry Operation a Saucery, and he started to discuss it publicly but after his first interview, he was found dead in his home. That's m that's weird. But he seemed okay. So he seemingly hung himself using the belt of his bathrobe, but apparently he had been depressed and suicidal. This was not his first attempt. But many this whole thing like it us to a conspiracy. Yeah, thank you, yes, conspiracy. Conspiracy theorists went wild and they think he like it was like a Jeffrey Epstein situation where they silenced him. But a close friend of his is like, I don't know, he had attempted it before, he tried to die, you know, before, So I mean, I'm on the side of the friend. I feel like I would trust a friend judgment here. Yeah. Yeah. But hardcore ufologists in Brazil or like, no, no, he was silenced, so take with that way you will. They be yeah, that they believed he was killed because of what he knew. The final five hundred page report doesn't mention anyone that died because of the UFOs or anyone that was injured or any of like the burns or the blood sucking. But again, doctors in the area recall injuries and deaths from all of this so they could be hiding. I don't know, I don't know. I don't, I don't. I don't like to have I don't like to be conspiracists because I feel like you can't be a regular conspiracy theorist anymore. Right, everything's all weird now, So I don't. I don't like to associate myself with conspiracy theories, right, because next thing you know, you're going to be like a cute what are they called a qanonist? Yes, sorry, I was gonna say true, not what I was like. No, that's the no, that's the podcast. Yeah, but the at least four hundred claims during this time of people's blood beets sucks by the lights for wait how much? Four hundred? Okay, I was right that, I mean it's hard. Yeah, that's quite a bit, right, just like what Claudo Claudo Mira, Yeah, show what she described. Yes, and yeah they started calling these lights touchupa that's so weird. But at the end of it all, there's just questions like, what the hell were like everyone with a like a wild delusion. I don't think so, I don't know. I don't think so either, Like that's just too weird. Yeah, and too specific and what were people What was the point of this? What was the aliens doing? Is that it was just a method of getting DNA. I don't know. I don't know, right, I don't know who knows, but I don't like it. I don't like it. And yeah, that was yes, Operation Saucer. So wow, wow, what interesting. I feel like as far as aliens and UFOs, this is on the scarier side, no, for sure, because like people literally were injured, potentially died and yeah, they got their blood set that out of them. Like that's I feel like, that's the first time I ever heard of a UFO story like that involves blood sucking, right, Yeah, I've never heard that itself. Because you know what, we should do it so people think thatch Pukata is an alien, because why do you keep mentioning this it is it is related to UFO really sightings and aliens, since I have never heard of that in my life, you know, we're gonna have to do a full episode on a deep dive on I thought you did already have a Chupukappa episode. No, we don't. Really, Yeah, you're confusing us with the other Mexicans. I'm just kidding. You're confusionus with Monsters. No, I don't know. Maybe Monsters has a full deep dive into the Chupacabras and it's great and they missed them so much too. Okay, and we're gonna take it outbreak here and then come back with spooky recommendations. That was the end of the weird ass, scary, creepy UFO story. I don't usually get creeped out by alien stuff, and this creeped me out. That's why I was like it could be a movie, because I feel like only in movies I get scared by aliens. Yeah. Yeah, all right, and we're back. Do you have spooky recommendations? Nar? But I I can't recommend it yet because I just started it based on your recommendation. But I already had it on MYTBR anyway, But anyway, I started listening, but I got more excited to listen to it because you loved it. In fact, you rated it five stars yes on StoryGraph. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did. I liked it. You can also follow us on stoygraph. We're at a Spooky Cristina and the Spooky Car. Yeah. Sorry, I got excited. I fell. Everything's connected behind me because I'm in a different spot. Yeah, anyway, I hit the wire. What are you saying? Oh? Yeah, So I started listening to The Reformatory. I'm only like, I think, like twelve percent in so far, but wow, wow, wow, I'm already loving it and there's just so much to it. Like you already said, because you're already talked, you know what that is actually my speaker recommendation last time. I said, No, I hadn't finished it reading it last time. Well, go ahead talk about it. Yeah, that's the only thing I've listened to it. Yeah, or okay, watched whatever consumed? Yeah, consumed The Reformatory by Tanaa reeve Do And I mentioned it briefly that I was reading it and almost done with it, But man, I actually finished it, and like Carmen said, I rated it five out of five. Although that's not a lot coming from me because I rate everything five out of five, but like, if I could rate this ten out of five, I would. It was so good. Has everything that we love in a horror book by we I mean me and Carmen, where it's more than just the people or no, sorry, it's more than just the supernatural element that's scary. Like the people are also like the people are the real monsters type thing, you know, because the real monsters vibe. Yes. Yeah, and so this like this boy gets sent and it's set. It's set during the what is it nineteen sixties, fifties? I want to say it was the fifties. If I'm remembering right, fifties. I think it was the fifties. Okay, we're having some technical issues, but just to say The ref Reformatory probably one of my favorite reads. Definitely recommended. That's the spooky recommendation. Also, next week it's going to be a Spanish episode that we recorded with our mom. Yeah, we're having technical issues, so we're just going to end this super fast, faster than normal, Faster than I wanted to anyway. Yeah. Yeah, Next week is going to be an episode in Spanish that we recorded during our Christmas vacation together at Carmen's house. We recorded with our mom. It's the story that I've been wanting to hear from finish to end from her forever, both of us. It's so scary. The week after that we're gonna translate that into English for our Spanish challenged friends. But yeah, next week it's going to be her telling us her story that scares me so much. Yeah, and yeah, I wanted to do like a little twenty twenty five goals think, but there's no time because things acting weird. I's gonna say if we wanted to save it here and then send a new link if you wanted, I'm here either way. Okay, let's end this here just in case that it doesn't work again after this.
