#230 The Teenage Saga of Froggy Fingerbang

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe an alleged extraterrestrial amphibian-looking creature who appeared to several teenagers over two different evenings. April 21st - 22nd 1977, Dover Massachusetts. William Bartlett, John Baxter and Abby Brabham all saw a similar looking cross between Slenderman and a sloth… Or a frog with disturbing digits. But did they really? Were these witnesses really unrelated? Alongside that, we discover that Mr Moonwalker loves potato salad. All that and more on this weeks probe.     Probe us: Email: [email protected] Instagram @ ButItWasAliensPodcast Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join E Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: [email protected] Instagram/Threads @ ButItWasAliens Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe whether a body preserved from the late neolithic period known today as Ötzi is tracking down and killing those who disturbed Ötzi’s several thousand year resting place. Discovered in September 1991, many who were involved in this frozen discovery have since passed away. Is this one truly a curse, or is nature just taking its natural course? Remember that calling BS on a curse is a BAD MOVE. Alongside all that we ponder… Would Kev and G survive in the Copper Age?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe two sisters at Trout Lake, Canada in 2005. What these people saw was oh so much more than fish. Dolphins, perhaps? Pokemon? Or was it god damn aliens? Alongside that we ponder what keeps Greybeard running during these sleepy times?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe several simian sightings from 1878, 1879, the late 1800’s and as recently as the 1980’s in England within the United Kingdom. Is there a ghostly gorilla roaming the lands of the Shropshire Union Canal? Does this creature stalk those who pass Bridge 39? Is this creature cold? Or is the creature responsible for these several shocks actually the lingering spirit of a deceased workman from the area, as the police of the day seemed to believe? Or perhaps a gorilla on horseback roams the British countryside to this day? Was this thing a Pokemon? Alongside that it is pondered as to what gorilla’s like to do with bananas… HERE HE COMES BANANA SLAMMA KONGO BONGO’s HERO.

When Kev sang the Donkey Kong Country theme, the theme of the actual Nelvena and Medialab-produced cartoon composed via Pure West was underlaid because IT HAD TO BE DONE. There was a tiny tiny snippet of the Indiana Jones theme song aka The Raiders March as Kev hummed the tune, which was composed and conducted via John Williams courtesy of Polygram, Sony Music and Colombia Records.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe four UFO sightings of a similar, possibly the same craft in the Wisconsin area. Suspiciously, all these crafts were witnessed by people with no, or 1 letter surnames. Were the witnesses MiB’s? Are we being MiBbed off? Are these photos legitimate, have they been Photoshopped or have these old timer camera’s just naturally f’d up? Alongside that we ponder whether Greybeard should get Nintendo Online or play Helldivers?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe someone who is officially the most successful pirate in history, Black Sam Bellamy. Black Sam came from humble beginnings, a young British Navy sailor who turned treasure hunter in order to secure the marriage of Sam’s true love (Sam had to get rich or die trying). Things went a bit sideways however when Sam found that the 1715 Treasure Fleet had already been recovered (well, the easy bits at least) meaning that Sam had no quick and easy treasure to achieve his goal. What’s a skilled man of the sea to do when in need of money? That’s right, PIRATE. Black Sam Bellamy would come in to contact with famous pirates Henry Jennings, Benjamin Hornigold and Blackbeard and join the Flying Gang but Sam would become more successful than all of them, depending upon how you define success… From storming ships naked to deceiving ships with fake flags, Sam earned well over one hundred million dollars in today’s currency. At the height of Sam’s success however, Sam longed for love. Allegedly. Truthfully. At this very same moment, it is alleged that Sam’s love, who had encountered misery whilst waiting for Sam, placed a curse on Sam. Sam, unaware of the misery of his love, would one day return but this day may just have been Sam’s last. Was witchcraft responsible? Alongside that, we ask whether a pirate can be truly good if they put everything to the vote… All that and more on this week’s file.     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: [email protected] Instagram/Threads @ ButItWasAliens Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.

As it’s a pirate episode, we had to easter egg and include our favourite music from Rare’s formerly exclusive Xbox title Sea Of Thieves, courtesy of Microsoft and composed via the magical Robin Beanland. Those tunes included Maiden Voyage, Summon the Megalodon, Shipwreaks and We Shall Sail Together.

The paranormal comedy podcast where we probe George Wheeler’s 1976 sighting of something in the sky. What? It’s not entirely clear on first analysis actually. On second analysis, it was a flying saucer. On third, a Jaffa Cake. On fourth, the moon. Nobody can be sure until we pop the lid off this one and see what’s going on with that dangly bit… All that and more on this episode.     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: [email protected] Instagram/Threads @ ButItWasAliens Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the Voronezh UFO. 27/09/1989. This date is written in now Russian history for this was Independence Day. Well, not that type of Independence Day but a big-a** spaceship may have breached then-Soviet airspace. The smart folks (possibly the adults because those witnesses may have allegedly truthfully disappeared) ran. Those with their wits perhaps less about them, stood awestruck. Did the craft land? If a craft lands and an alien exits said craft, the first thing they teach you in MiB Academy is to not directly approach an alien. One child didn’t follow this teaching, f’d around and found out. Parallel to that, this one was witnessed by the police and with such an authentic sighting, this one quickly made it’s way to the media of the time. State media. Scientific analysis ensued. Alongside that it is pondered through the episode… What kind of potential weapon found laying around the house would be best to combat an alien invader? What could you say to an alien that would result in the alien immediately opening fire on you?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe whether Kevin was probed. Well, abducted. But not our Kevin, he’s a national icon and global treasure. This Kevin was in Canada and on the 2nd of September 1987 this Kevin was taking a lads holiday to the Dewhurst Creek between Sheldon Lake and Macpass. Moose hunting and fishing were on the agenda but what went down, or up, was something much more extraterrestrial. Alongside that we ponder whether a tree falling down in space would make a sound.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe an alleged physical assault on Bigfoot. It's the Sassy Saga part two - the second time we've probed Bigfoot. In 2010, Tim Peeler’s dogs were in heat which was very important for us to know. That heat, may have attracted Bigfoot. Ole’ Sassy themselves. Being randy, Bigfoot simply wouldn’t ‘GET’ and so Tim had to take action. That action was first to poke Sasquatch with a stick but when that didn’t work, Tim brought out the big guns. Tim’s gun. By gun, we mean Tim’s arm - Tim punched Bigfoot. That’s right, Tim Peeler, is the man who socked Bigfoot. What did Bigfoot do? This led us to another emergency services call about Bigfoot over in Washington State. Are these two calls the most compelling Bigfoot eye witness accounts there have ever been? Alongside that we ponder whether coyotes are coy… Was Tim Peeler a Pokemon trainer? Can Bigfoot speak dog? All that and more on this week’s file. Go on, GET.   The Tim Peeler calls between 13:25 - 15:40 and 17:06 - 23:17 The news report is 29:07 - 31:01 Washington State 911 call: 35:03 - 36:28     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: [email protected] Instagram/Threads @ ButItWasAliens Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.
