The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the events of 1940 Gateshead whereby an absolutely reliable five year old witnessed the death of an alien. Death, via shovel. The five year old was chased by this alien you see dear probers but the uncle of the witness, protected the witness via devastating shovel strike. That witness was Robert Hall, a man who searched for answers many years later. Prior to the shovel strike, Robert had witnessed all many of extraterrestrial entities during a soldier parade of sorts and Robert was a victim of alien abduction. All that and more on this week’s file.
