Unidentified Canadian Objects part 1
Ben and Ricco are still having no luck figuring out what kind of ghost or phantom Hank was, so they decide to try a different approach. What if Hank was never a ghost at all? What if this was an encounter of a different kind?Like, the third, fourth or fifth kind ... or something?What could they lean about their experience by looking back at old UFO sightings, and since they're heading to Canada, why not talk about some Canadian UFO cases? This week Ben and Ricco look at the lore of the Falcon Lake Incident, one of the most well documented cases of a UFO sighting in Canadian history, supposedly.Will they finally figure out who Hank really was? Where he came from? Where did he go? Was he, in fact, Cotton-eye Joe? Find out all of the answers on this weeks historic 19th episode of I Fought the Lore! Hosted on Acast.
