Strange Realm - Ep. 096 - Jan. 26th, 2025

On this episode we bring you a scaly and swampy look into the strangest and wildest stories we could find this week, including a report described by a US Congressman of a giant, fast-moving UFO travelling submerged in the ocean, a new scientific theory that claims information has mass, an invitation by a state in India to earn 1 million dollars if you can decipher an Indus Valley language that's greater than 5,000 years old, as well as a look into the obscure cryptid known as the Lizard Man of Scrape Ore Swamp. All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.
