1 00:00:00,105 --> 00:00:00,365 - All right. 2 00:00:00,365 --> 00:00:01,885 Ready to dive into another case. 3 00:00:02,105 --> 00:00:04,045 - Always ready. What do we have this time? 4 00:00:04,435 --> 00:00:08,605 - Well, uh, today we're looking into R-M-U-F-O 1 0 2. 5 00:00:09,115 --> 00:00:11,885 Okay. , AKA hot tubs and triangles. 6 00:00:12,425 --> 00:00:14,285 - Hot tubs and triangles. Yeah. Hmm. 7 00:00:14,285 --> 00:00:15,565 That's a new one. It, it 8 00:00:15,565 --> 00:00:16,565 - Is, it is. 9 00:00:16,565 --> 00:00:19,845 Um, and it's got all the elements of a classic 10 00:00:20,845 --> 00:00:23,525 UFO story, mystery, intrigue, 11 00:00:23,655 --> 00:00:24,685 - Maybe some aliens. 12 00:00:25,445 --> 00:00:26,525 - Hmm. We'll see about that. 13 00:00:26,655 --> 00:00:27,685 Let's not get ahead of ourselves. 14 00:00:27,865 --> 00:00:29,965 - All right. Of course. - So the case takes us 15 00:00:29,965 --> 00:00:31,605 to Rawlings, Wyoming. 16 00:00:31,675 --> 00:00:34,125 Wyoming, yeah. Out near Yellowstone National Park. 17 00:00:34,705 --> 00:00:36,725 You know, big open skies. Uh, 18 00:00:36,835 --> 00:00:37,965 - Yeah, I see where this is going. 19 00:00:38,035 --> 00:00:39,925 - It's October, 2006. Okay. 20 00:00:40,625 --> 00:00:42,125 And our witness is, well, 21 00:00:42,125 --> 00:00:44,165 he's just relaxing in his hot tub. Sounds 22 00:00:44,195 --> 00:00:45,195 - Nice. 23 00:00:45,195 --> 00:00:45,685 - It does, right? Yes. 24 00:00:45,685 --> 00:00:48,085 Just enjoying a cool autumn evening under the stars 25 00:00:48,295 --> 00:00:49,965 - Until he sees something he can't explain. 26 00:00:50,115 --> 00:00:51,445 Exactly. So what did he see? 27 00:00:51,685 --> 00:00:53,605 - A triangular object in the sky. Triangular. 28 00:00:53,605 --> 00:00:55,445 - Huh? Not just some lights, but an actual shape. 29 00:00:55,645 --> 00:00:56,765 - A definite shape. Yeah. 30 00:00:57,105 --> 00:00:59,805 And get this, he was moving silently across the sky 31 00:01:00,205 --> 00:01:01,205 - Silently. 32 00:01:01,205 --> 00:01:03,165 He'd thinks something that big would make some noise. 33 00:01:03,415 --> 00:01:05,165 - Right. That's what's so strange about it. 34 00:01:05,465 --> 00:01:07,485 - So what did he think it was? Did he have any ideas? 35 00:01:07,715 --> 00:01:09,685 - Well, naturally he started questioning what he was seeing. 36 00:01:10,065 --> 00:01:11,725 He even talked to his brother about it. Oh, 37 00:01:12,755 --> 00:01:14,365 - What did his brother think? Oh, 38 00:01:14,465 --> 00:01:16,085 - His brother was a police officer. So, 39 00:01:16,385 --> 00:01:20,325 - So he's used to dealing with, uh, unusual situations. 40 00:01:20,355 --> 00:01:23,125 - Exactly. But even he was stumped. 41 00:01:23,805 --> 00:01:26,485 - I see. So they're both looking up at this silent 42 00:01:26,855 --> 00:01:28,205 triangular object and 43 00:01:28,205 --> 00:01:29,645 - You're trying to figure out what it could be. 44 00:01:29,795 --> 00:01:32,285 Yeah. I mean, is it a plane? Is it a helicopter? 45 00:01:32,735 --> 00:01:33,845 - Maybe a weather balloon. 46 00:01:34,585 --> 00:01:37,645 - The witness even thought maybe it's a stealth bomber. 47 00:01:38,365 --> 00:01:39,645 - Hmm. That's possible. 48 00:01:40,305 --> 00:01:42,285 But even stealth tech, you'd expect some kind 49 00:01:42,285 --> 00:01:43,365 of noise. Right. That's 50 00:01:43,365 --> 00:01:44,365 - What I thought too. 51 00:01:44,425 --> 00:01:46,845 But he was adamant Absolutely no sound. 52 00:01:47,145 --> 00:01:48,325 He said it was completely silent. 53 00:01:49,225 --> 00:01:51,845 - So no conventional aircraft. Then what else could it be? 54 00:01:52,115 --> 00:01:53,885 - Well, that's the million dollar question, isn't it? 55 00:01:54,155 --> 00:01:56,485 He's sitting there in his hot tubs staring up at this thing. 56 00:01:56,545 --> 00:01:59,465 Mm. And then it just vanishes. 57 00:01:59,545 --> 00:02:01,185 - Vanishes like, disappears into thin 58 00:02:01,185 --> 00:02:03,185 - Air, gone poof. No trace. 59 00:02:03,605 --> 00:02:05,545 - Wow. That's, yeah. That's something else. 60 00:02:05,685 --> 00:02:07,585 - It is. It is. This is one of those cases 61 00:02:07,585 --> 00:02:09,425 that really makes you wonder what 62 00:02:09,425 --> 00:02:10,425 - If. 63 00:02:10,425 --> 00:02:11,025 Yeah. What if it was aliens? 64 00:02:11,415 --> 00:02:12,785 - Well, let's hold off on the alien 65 00:02:12,815 --> 00:02:14,425 speculation for now. Fair enough. 66 00:02:14,455 --> 00:02:17,385 - Fair - Enough. But I will say this case definitely has 67 00:02:17,385 --> 00:02:20,145 all the hallmarks of a classic UFO encounter. 68 00:02:20,245 --> 00:02:21,265 - It does. It does. 69 00:02:21,565 --> 00:02:24,265 The strange object, the silent movement, 70 00:02:24,685 --> 00:02:25,785 the sudden disappearance, 71 00:02:26,125 --> 00:02:27,945 - And the fact that it happened in a place like Wyoming. 72 00:02:28,575 --> 00:02:30,825 - Wide open spaces perfect for spotting things 73 00:02:31,035 --> 00:02:32,035 - Don't belong. 74 00:02:32,035 --> 00:02:35,625 Yeah. So what do we make of this hot tub mystery, 75 00:02:36,415 --> 00:02:39,665 misidentified aircraft, secret government, tech, 76 00:02:40,045 --> 00:02:41,785 - Or something else entirely. Well, 77 00:02:42,045 --> 00:02:43,465 - That's what we're here to figure out. 78 00:02:43,805 --> 00:02:45,545 And we've got a lot more to unpack in this 79 00:02:45,545 --> 00:02:46,745 case. But first yeah. We 80 00:02:46,745 --> 00:02:47,745 - Need a little more context. 81 00:02:47,895 --> 00:02:50,105 - Exactly. We need to understand the witness, 82 00:02:50,445 --> 00:02:52,385 his background, his credibility, and 83 00:02:52,385 --> 00:02:54,065 - Maybe dig into some other sightings in the area. 84 00:02:54,865 --> 00:02:56,305 - Absolutely. So let's take a quick break 85 00:02:56,305 --> 00:02:57,425 and then we'll get into all of that. 86 00:02:57,655 --> 00:03:00,285 Stay with us now. 87 00:03:00,425 --> 00:03:02,285 You know, one thing that really struck me 88 00:03:02,285 --> 00:03:03,405 about this case Mm. 89 00:03:04,105 --> 00:03:05,765 Was how even years later, 90 00:03:06,465 --> 00:03:08,365 it still bothers the witness, really? 91 00:03:08,675 --> 00:03:12,005 Yeah. He specifically mentioned in his report that he'd love 92 00:03:12,005 --> 00:03:13,765 to, you know, talk to other people. Oh, 93 00:03:13,765 --> 00:03:15,005 - Like to compare notes. 94 00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:16,485 - Exactly. Exactly. 95 00:03:16,625 --> 00:03:18,205 - See if anyone else saw the same thing that night. 96 00:03:18,315 --> 00:03:20,885 - Yeah. I mean, it makes sense, right? It 97 00:03:20,885 --> 00:03:21,885 - Does. 98 00:03:21,885 --> 00:03:23,165 I mean, if you saw something like that, something 99 00:03:23,505 --> 00:03:25,245 so unexplainable, 100 00:03:25,575 --> 00:03:26,885 - You'd wanna know you weren't alone. 101 00:03:27,275 --> 00:03:30,525 - Exactly. To know that you weren't imagining things. Yeah. 102 00:03:30,825 --> 00:03:33,965 - And maybe just maybe someone else might have a piece 103 00:03:33,965 --> 00:03:35,045 of the puzzle, a clue 104 00:03:35,045 --> 00:03:36,445 - That could help make sense of it. All 105 00:03:36,615 --> 00:03:37,615 - Right. 106 00:03:37,615 --> 00:03:41,005 And this desire to understand, I think that's a big part of 107 00:03:41,005 --> 00:03:43,925 what drives so much interest in this whole UFO phenomenon. 108 00:03:44,325 --> 00:03:45,685 - Absolutely. People want answers. 109 00:03:45,755 --> 00:03:46,925 They wanna know what's out there. 110 00:03:47,185 --> 00:03:49,445 - And, you know, speaking of answers, there are a lot 111 00:03:49,445 --> 00:03:50,725 of theories out there about what these 112 00:03:51,035 --> 00:03:52,165 UFOs could be. Oh yeah. 113 00:03:52,415 --> 00:03:54,165 - Everything from weather balloons 114 00:03:54,365 --> 00:03:56,125 to secret government projects, 115 00:03:56,465 --> 00:03:59,605 - And of course, the ever popular alien hypothesis. Right. 116 00:03:59,905 --> 00:04:01,965 - But have you ever come across any explanations 117 00:04:01,965 --> 00:04:04,005 that seem particularly convincing? 118 00:04:04,525 --> 00:04:07,365 - Hmm. Well, misidentified aircraft is 119 00:04:07,365 --> 00:04:08,525 always a possibility. Yeah. 120 00:04:08,525 --> 00:04:09,685 - That's always a good starting point. 121 00:04:10,085 --> 00:04:11,245 - I mean, sometimes things 122 00:04:11,245 --> 00:04:14,445 that seem strange in the sky can turn out to be perfectly 123 00:04:15,245 --> 00:04:18,445 ordinary objects like, you know, drones or satellites. 124 00:04:18,535 --> 00:04:20,725 - Right. But then you have cases like this one 125 00:04:20,735 --> 00:04:23,765 where the witness was very clear about the lack of sound. 126 00:04:23,875 --> 00:04:26,045 - Exactly. And that kind of rules out a lot 127 00:04:26,045 --> 00:04:27,965 of conventional aircraft, doesn't it? It does. 128 00:04:28,455 --> 00:04:30,925 - Which makes the whole thing even more mysterious. 129 00:04:31,345 --> 00:04:32,565 - So what are we left with? 130 00:04:33,955 --> 00:04:35,525 Some kind of advanced technology 131 00:04:35,525 --> 00:04:37,205 that we don't even understand yet? 132 00:04:37,855 --> 00:04:39,045 - Maybe. I mean, 133 00:04:39,045 --> 00:04:41,605 there's a lot we don't know about physics and propulsion, 134 00:04:41,865 --> 00:04:45,205 - Or could it be something truly unknown? 135 00:04:45,715 --> 00:04:47,885 Something beyond our current understanding 136 00:04:47,905 --> 00:04:49,125 of science and technology. 137 00:04:49,425 --> 00:04:51,005 - That's always a possibility. 138 00:04:51,145 --> 00:04:54,685 And honestly, it's what makes these cases so fascinating. 139 00:04:54,965 --> 00:04:58,205 - I agree. So what do you make of this hot tub triangle? 140 00:04:58,465 --> 00:05:00,805 Are we dealing with a misidentified aircraft, 141 00:05:01,155 --> 00:05:03,205 some weird weather phenomenon, or 142 00:05:03,205 --> 00:05:04,205 - Something else? 143 00:05:04,205 --> 00:05:05,885 - Yeah, something else. I mean, it's impossible to say 144 00:05:05,885 --> 00:05:07,805 for sure with the information we have. True. 145 00:05:08,065 --> 00:05:10,245 - But I think that's part of what makes it so compelling. 146 00:05:10,345 --> 00:05:12,965 You know, it leaves us with that sense of wonder, 147 00:05:13,155 --> 00:05:15,005 that possibility that there's more 148 00:05:15,005 --> 00:05:17,285 to the universe than we currently understand. It's 149 00:05:17,285 --> 00:05:18,805 - Like a puzzle with some of the pieces missing, 150 00:05:18,985 --> 00:05:21,445 - And it's up to us to try and find those missing pieces. 151 00:05:22,165 --> 00:05:23,325 - I like that. So 152 00:05:23,345 --> 00:05:25,885 as we wrap up our deep dive into this case, mm, 153 00:05:26,915 --> 00:05:29,485 what would you say is the most important thing to take away? 154 00:05:30,435 --> 00:05:34,445 - Keep an open mind. - Okay. I like that. Keep an open mind 155 00:05:34,905 --> 00:05:36,205 - And question what you see. 156 00:05:36,655 --> 00:05:38,485 - Don't just accept things at face value. 157 00:05:38,955 --> 00:05:41,245 - Exactly. Consider different perspectives. 158 00:05:41,425 --> 00:05:42,725 Gather evidence. And 159 00:05:42,725 --> 00:05:44,565 - Most importantly, don't be afraid 160 00:05:44,565 --> 00:05:47,685 to admit when you don't have all the answers. Because 161 00:05:47,685 --> 00:05:50,605 - Sometimes the most intriguing mysteries are the ones 162 00:05:50,605 --> 00:05:51,645 that remain unsolved. 163 00:05:51,795 --> 00:05:54,485 - Well said. And on that note, I think it's time 164 00:05:54,485 --> 00:05:57,445 to wrap up this episode of Hot Tubs and Triangles. A 165 00:05:57,445 --> 00:05:59,805 - Case that truly makes you wonder what's out there 166 00:05:59,835 --> 00:06:01,045 lurking in the skies. 167 00:06:01,225 --> 00:06:03,405 - And who knows, maybe someone listening right now has their 168 00:06:03,405 --> 00:06:05,845 own hot tub triangle story to share, or 169 00:06:05,845 --> 00:06:07,365 - Maybe they've seen something equally strange, 170 00:06:07,395 --> 00:06:09,325 even if they weren't soaking in a hot tub at the time. 171 00:06:09,905 --> 00:06:12,445 - The point is, there's a lot we still don't know 172 00:06:12,445 --> 00:06:13,725 about the world around us, 173 00:06:14,345 --> 00:06:17,645 - And it's up to us to keep exploring, 174 00:06:17,795 --> 00:06:20,525 keep asking questions, and keep looking 175 00:06:20,625 --> 00:06:21,625 - Up. 176 00:06:21,625 --> 00:06:23,765 Until next time, keep those minds open 177 00:06:24,185 --> 00:06:25,565 and keep looking up. You 178 00:06:25,565 --> 00:06:26,685 - Never know what you might find. 179 00:06:26,995 --> 00:06:29,525 - It's just, you know, it's that desire to know, right? 180 00:06:29,525 --> 00:06:32,485 Yeah. Yeah. He saw this thing, this unexplainable thing, 181 00:06:32,865 --> 00:06:34,605 and years later he 182 00:06:34,605 --> 00:06:35,605 - Still wants answers. 183 00:06:35,635 --> 00:06:38,125 - Yeah. And that to me, I think that says a lot. 184 00:06:38,545 --> 00:06:39,565 - It does. It really does. 185 00:06:39,775 --> 00:06:41,645 - About the impact these events can have. 186 00:06:42,125 --> 00:06:43,765 - Absolutely. It makes you question 187 00:06:43,765 --> 00:06:44,965 everything you thought you knew. 188 00:06:45,075 --> 00:06:46,925 - Yeah. Yeah. Makes you realize 189 00:06:46,945 --> 00:06:48,405 how much we don't know. Right. 190 00:06:48,745 --> 00:06:52,005 - And it's that, that drive to understand, 191 00:06:52,265 --> 00:06:54,125 to find those answers, it's 192 00:06:54,125 --> 00:06:55,285 - What keeps us searching. It's 193 00:06:55,285 --> 00:06:56,525 - What fuels our curiosity. 194 00:06:56,905 --> 00:07:00,205 - It is. It is.
