Plus, Conspiracy Bot learns the negative side of building your own robot (we know this well). Are there really spandex clad, cult members looking to “amalgamate” with aliens? Have UFOs landed in Cape Cod? Is there a better name for a law firm than Wakeman and Frasier? We ask the tough questions this week.

After a visit from the FBI gives legitimacy to Tom’s story, Ken will ultimately decide how far he’s willing to go to witness humanity’s greatest close encounter.Things are getting strange in the lower 4th this week as we interview author Eric Bickernicks about his fictional (?) UFO romp, High Strangeness. Tom Frasier, an infamous proponent of crashed saucers and frozen alien bodies, claims the local military base houses some intriguing secrets. Mel learns that when dealing with wing nuts, the truth isn’t necessarily “out there”. Joining the invasion is Klick, the promiscuous leader of a spandex-clad UFO cult whose members want to “amalgamate” with the Fornacisians when their spaceship lands. In addition to the frantic humans, Astro, Ken’s Golden Retriever has also been acting strangely.

When the Cape becomes the national focus over a rash of UFO sights, they join forces to get to the bottom it.ĭespite denials from town officials and the military that UFOs have landed, mass hysteria overcomes the seaside community. Melissa 'Mel' Howard, a reporter for a small Cape Cod newspaper, copes with the seasonal tourist invasion and its accompanying anxieties. Ken Wakeman, a skeptical UFOlogist who seeks the truth about paranormal phenomenon, struggles to discredit the myriad of crackpot theories out there. Something strange has arrived on Cape Cod, and it’s not just the UFOs.
