On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys star off the show by talking about how recently\xa0an abandoned oil tanker has washed up on the shores of\xa0Liberia\xa0in west Africa, prompting an investigation \u2013 and speculation over the fate of the ship\u2019s crew. Then, the world of archaeology was electrified last year by the news that Tutankhamun\u2019s tomb could contain hidden chambers possibly containing the remains and riches of Queen Nefertiti. It was a story that seemed to have everything: false walls, buried treasure, at least one mummy \u2013 and new hope for Egypt\u2019s ailing tourist industry.\xa0There was just one problem: the announcement now seems to be unfounded. But scientists say the evidence, based on new research, is being suppressed by the government in Cairo. Then,\xa0the U.S. Air Force is looking to fund the development of a system that allows it to easily convert any of its manned aircraft into robot-piloted planes, potentially making huge portions of its existing fleet fully autonomous. Then, the consequences of not getting enough sleep are evident to all of us\u2014and yet we\u2019re constantly staying up later than what our internal biological clocks are telling us. A new study shows the elusive nature of what\u2019s to blame. Then,\xa0\xa0a strange new report about a 'frog as big as a goat' supposedly sighted one day by diver Duncan Macdonald while underwater in Loch Ness during the late 1800s. After the break, Kyle brings up the mysterious disappearance of three lighthouse workers in the Flannan Islands. In December 1900 three lighthouse-keepers, Thomas Marshall, James Ducat and Donald McArthur, on the lonely outcrop of the Flannan Isles, approx 20 miles from the Outer Hebrides, western Scotland, disappeared without trace. No solution to their disappearance has ever been found, and for over a 100 years now this case has been of endless fascination to those of us who love unsolved mysteries. Thanks for listening to Expanded Perspectives, have a fantastic week!
