- All right.
Ready to dive into another case.
- Always ready. What do we have this time?
- Well, uh, today we're looking into R-M-U-F-O 1 0 2.
Okay. , AKA hot tubs and triangles.
- Hot tubs and triangles. Yeah. Hmm.
That's a new one. It, it
- Is, it is.
Um, and it's got all the elements of a classic
UFO story, mystery, intrigue,
- Maybe some aliens.
- Hmm. We'll see about that.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
- All right. Of course. - So the case takes us
to Rawlings, Wyoming.
Wyoming, yeah. Out near Yellowstone National Park.
You know, big open skies. Uh,
- Yeah, I see where this is going.
- It's October, 2006. Okay.
And our witness is, well,
he's just relaxing in his hot tub. Sounds
- Nice.
- It does, right? Yes.
Just enjoying a cool autumn evening under the stars
- Until he sees something he can't explain.
Exactly. So what did he see?
- A triangular object in the sky. Triangular.
- Huh? Not just some lights, but an actual shape.
- A definite shape. Yeah.
And get this, he was moving silently across the sky
- Silently.
He'd thinks something that big would make some noise.
- Right. That's what's so strange about it.
- So what did he think it was? Did he have any ideas?
- Well, naturally he started questioning what he was seeing.
He even talked to his brother about it. Oh,
- What did his brother think? Oh,
- His brother was a police officer. So,
- So he's used to dealing with, uh, unusual situations.
- Exactly. But even he was stumped.
- I see. So they're both looking up at this silent
triangular object and
- You're trying to figure out what it could be.
Yeah. I mean, is it a plane? Is it a helicopter?
- Maybe a weather balloon.
- The witness even thought maybe it's a stealth bomber.
- Hmm. That's possible.
But even stealth tech, you'd expect some kind
of noise. Right. That's
- What I thought too.
But he was adamant Absolutely no sound.
He said it was completely silent.
- So no conventional aircraft. Then what else could it be?
- Well, that's the million dollar question, isn't it?
He's sitting there in his hot tubs staring up at this thing.
Mm. And then it just vanishes.
- Vanishes like, disappears into thin
- Air, gone poof. No trace.
- Wow. That's, yeah. That's something else.
- It is. It is. This is one of those cases
that really makes you wonder what
- If.
Yeah. What if it was aliens?
- Well, let's hold off on the alien
speculation for now. Fair enough.
- Fair - Enough. But I will say this case definitely has
all the hallmarks of a classic UFO encounter.
- It does. It does.
The strange object, the silent movement,
the sudden disappearance,
- And the fact that it happened in a place like Wyoming.
- Wide open spaces perfect for spotting things
- Don't belong.
Yeah. So what do we make of this hot tub mystery,
misidentified aircraft, secret government, tech,
- Or something else entirely. Well,
- That's what we're here to figure out.
And we've got a lot more to unpack in this
case. But first yeah. We
- Need a little more context.
- Exactly. We need to understand the witness,
his background, his credibility, and
- Maybe dig into some other sightings in the area.
- Absolutely. So let's take a quick break
and then we'll get into all of that.
Stay with us now.
You know, one thing that really struck me
about this case Mm.
Was how even years later,
it still bothers the witness, really?
Yeah. He specifically mentioned in his report that he'd love
to, you know, talk to other people. Oh,
- Like to compare notes.
- Exactly. Exactly.
- See if anyone else saw the same thing that night.
- Yeah. I mean, it makes sense, right? It
- Does.
I mean, if you saw something like that, something
so unexplainable,
- You'd wanna know you weren't alone.
- Exactly. To know that you weren't imagining things. Yeah.
- And maybe just maybe someone else might have a piece
of the puzzle, a clue
- That could help make sense of it. All
- Right.
And this desire to understand, I think that's a big part of
what drives so much interest in this whole UFO phenomenon.
- Absolutely. People want answers.
They wanna know what's out there.
- And, you know, speaking of answers, there are a lot
of theories out there about what these
UFOs could be. Oh yeah.
- Everything from weather balloons
to secret government projects,
- And of course, the ever popular alien hypothesis. Right.
- But have you ever come across any explanations
that seem particularly convincing?
- Hmm. Well, misidentified aircraft is
always a possibility. Yeah.
- That's always a good starting point.
- I mean, sometimes things
that seem strange in the sky can turn out to be perfectly
ordinary objects like, you know, drones or satellites.
- Right. But then you have cases like this one
where the witness was very clear about the lack of sound.
- Exactly. And that kind of rules out a lot
of conventional aircraft, doesn't it? It does.
- Which makes the whole thing even more mysterious.
- So what are we left with?
Some kind of advanced technology
that we don't even understand yet?
- Maybe. I mean,
there's a lot we don't know about physics and propulsion,
- Or could it be something truly unknown?
Something beyond our current understanding
of science and technology.
- That's always a possibility.
And honestly, it's what makes these cases so fascinating.
- I agree. So what do you make of this hot tub triangle?
Are we dealing with a misidentified aircraft,
some weird weather phenomenon, or
- Something else?
- Yeah, something else. I mean, it's impossible to say
for sure with the information we have. True.
- But I think that's part of what makes it so compelling.
You know, it leaves us with that sense of wonder,
that possibility that there's more
to the universe than we currently understand. It's
- Like a puzzle with some of the pieces missing,
- And it's up to us to try and find those missing pieces.
- I like that. So
as we wrap up our deep dive into this case, mm,
what would you say is the most important thing to take away?
- Keep an open mind. - Okay. I like that. Keep an open mind
- And question what you see.
- Don't just accept things at face value.
- Exactly. Consider different perspectives.
Gather evidence. And
- Most importantly, don't be afraid
to admit when you don't have all the answers. Because
- Sometimes the most intriguing mysteries are the ones
that remain unsolved.
- Well said. And on that note, I think it's time
to wrap up this episode of Hot Tubs and Triangles. A
- Case that truly makes you wonder what's out there
lurking in the skies.
- And who knows, maybe someone listening right now has their
own hot tub triangle story to share, or
- Maybe they've seen something equally strange,
even if they weren't soaking in a hot tub at the time.
- The point is, there's a lot we still don't know
about the world around us,
- And it's up to us to keep exploring,
keep asking questions, and keep looking
- Up.
Until next time, keep those minds open
and keep looking up. You
- Never know what you might find.
- It's just, you know, it's that desire to know, right?
Yeah. Yeah. He saw this thing, this unexplainable thing,
and years later he
- Still wants answers.
- Yeah. And that to me, I think that says a lot.
- It does. It really does.
- About the impact these events can have.
- Absolutely. It makes you question
everything you thought you knew.
- Yeah. Yeah. Makes you realize
how much we don't know. Right.
- And it's that, that drive to understand,
to find those answers, it's
- What keeps us searching. It's
- What fuels our curiosity.
- It is. It is. And so I think for anyone listening mm-hmm .
Maybe even, you know,
relaxing in their own hot tub, all of the stars.
Yeah, exactly. The biggest takeaway from this whole thing is
- Keep an open mind.
- Keep an open mind. Yeah.
- Don't dismiss the possibility of the unknown.
- Yeah. Be curious. Question what you see.
- Don't be afraid to say, I don't know.
- Exactly. And you know, who knows?
Maybe someone listening right now. Yeah.
Maybe they have their own hot tub triangle story,
- Or maybe they've seen something equally strange.
- Yeah. Even if they weren't in a hot tub
at the time. The point
- Is the world is full of mysteries
- And it's up to us to keep exploring,
- Keep looking for those answers.
- Exactly. So until next time, keep those minds open
- And keep looking up.
- You never know what you might find.
