This week on Expanded Perspectives the guys start the show off talking about how if you want a decent night\\u2019s sleep stop fiddling with your phone, researchers have warned.\\xa0A US study has found that greater screen time, particularly at bedtime, is linked to disrupted sleep patterns - including taking a longer time to drop off. \\u201cThe more screen time, the worse the quality of sleep,\\u201d said Gregory Marcus, co-author of the research from the University of California, San Francisco.\\xa0The research ties in with a\\xa0growing body of evidence\\xa0that suggests that using electronic devices can get in the way of shut-eye.

Then,\\xa0on a quiet day in March, 1966, seven eyewitnesses reported an unidentified flying object maneuvering over Livingston and Washtenaw counties in Michigan. But these were not just some crazy people who watched all this there were police officers, sherrif deputies and over a 100 other people.\\xa0an official investigation declared it was an optical illusion created by swamp gas. But some say that\'s just what the government wanted us to believe. The even became known as the Great UFO Flap of 1966.\\xa0Then, a\\xa0man said he and his family members saw a dinosaur-like animal at a fishing spot in Florida.\\xa0Then, Lon Strickler of Phantoms and Monsters recently posted an interesting interview a man did with a witness who describes what he saw at the famous Roswell Crash.

After the break Kyle brings up the unusual story of the Jersey Devil.\\xa0Ask people who live near the Pine Barrens of New Jersey if they actually believe in the Jersey Devil and you\'ll get a bunch of half-answers Those who say they do say it with a little smirk, those who don\'t believe in the creature still hesitate a little before giving a definitive "no."\\xa0The Jersey Devil is a\\xa0mythical horned beast\\xa0that is to the woods of the Atlantic City area as bigfoot is to rural north California. It\'s one of the country\'s most enduring legends; stories of the Jersey Devil predate the United States itself.
