On this weeks installment of Expanded Perspectives the guys start the show off talking about how\\xa0a mysterious half-naked \'tribesman\' was seen running down a dirt track in Indonesia by a group of bikers.\\xa0The small man was spotted near Banda Aceh, on the northern tip of the island of Sumatra.\\xa0Some viewers guessed the man could be a member of the mythical Mante tribe, who are said to be forest dwellers. Then, Lon Stricker over at Phantoms & Monsters recently reported on a very unusual sighting a woman had in Cabell County in West Virginia. According to the witness, this winged creature resembled a giant 4 foot tall Wasp with glowing orange eyes! Then,\\xa0one of Japan\\u2019s biggest tech companies, Rakuten, announced it was forming a joint venture with the American startup AirMap. The goal is to develop a robust traffic management system for unmanned aerial vehicles, allowing large numbers of drones to operate autonomously in the same airspace.

After the break Kyle brings up one of Australia\'s most famous Alien Abduction cases "The Mysterious Disappearance of Frederick Valentich".\\xa0On the evening of October 21, 1978, a 20-year-old Australian pilot flew a familiar route from Melbourne airport to King Island.\\xa0From all reports, it wasn\\u2019t a difficult one. But for the young\\xa0Frederick Valentich, whatever happened while flying over the\\xa0Bass Strait proved fatal.\\xa0He never came home, and his body was never recovered.
