Strange Encounters

Published: June 1, 2016, 7:09 p.m.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys start the show off talking about how\xa0a man in Clarke County, Alabama\xa0says he and his family are \u201ctired of dealing\u201d with a Bigfoot creature and are threatening to kill it unless officials come to \u201ccapture and remove it\u201d. Then, the elusive, deep-sea-dwelling giant squid, with eyes the size of basketballs, may be larger than it has gotten credit for. In fact, the monster cephalopod may grow to be longer than a\xa0school\xa0bus, researchers say. Specimens recognizable as giant squid (Architeuthis dux) have been found washed up onshore since at least 1639. However, these sea monsters \u2014 which some people say inspired the legend of the giant kraken, though not all scientists agree \u2014 are so elusive that they were largely thought to be mythical until they were first photographed alive in their natural environment in 2004. Then, a team of young Japanese engineers is developing a flying car with the goal of launching it in time for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The futuristic vehicle\xa0 dubbed Skydrive\xa0 is fitted with three wheels, a motor and four rotors, enabling it to take off and land vertically from public roads without the need of a runway. Measuring only 9.5 feet by 4.3 feet, Skydrive claims to be the world\u2019s smallest flying car, with a target top flight speed of 62 mph, while travelling up to 32 feet above the ground. Then,\xa0In India, witch hunting dates back hundreds of years. It emanated in the Morigaon district of Assam which is now infamously known as the \u2018Indian Capital of Black Magic\u2019. People from far-flung areas would come here to learn 'witchcraft'. Even today, witch hunting is being practiced in the State and has become a burning issue, where predominantly women fall prey to this heinous crime.\xa0After the break we talk about and listen to some strange encounters several of our listeners have had.
