(panicking) Why is everybody on this stupid rock absolutely insane?!
Please… please everybody… please absolutely decimate that like button and leave an ‘F’ in the chat to pay respects to my awesome camera guy, Eli, the realest g I’ve ever known
There’s so much to unpack in that one sentence.

Yeah. If it was active, I’m pretty sure we’d be massively dead right now.
Why’d you have to piss him off, man?
- male senior
Took the words right out of my mouth, son.
Don’t you know it’s going on nearly 2 o’clock in the morning? I said stop shoving that damn camera in my face!

Make sure to put your back into it, darling, you know how filthy your little brother gets running alongside the oxen all day

The fire’s almost ready, and the witching hour is nearly upon us. Have you brought the bones, Moonhilda?

Have you ladies noticed how we can never seem to get more than three of us together for these meetings.
Imagine trying to walk around in a human body with the bones of a canary. Or a bear. You’d look ridiculous, and probably wouldn’t get very far.
Modern day. Male. Mid 30s. Stereotypical, hard-boiled detective.

Wanna know what I think of your little un-intelligence report?
Frankly, I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that anybody still believes these photos were anything but the fakes they are. Hell, they proved it in the 1980s that the images were fakes.

N’gai, n’gha’ghaa,bugg-hoggog y’h—… Damn it! I lost my place again. Why is this book so hard to read?

Uh… yes sir, but I meant tonight, specifically?

It turns out crazed vloggers might not be the only thing going bump in the Oregon night. For our next story, we cast our eyes to the skies, where there have been several reports made about unidentified flying objects overhead.
You can say that again, Tom! Take a look at some of these submissions from skeptics to self-proclaimed ufologists, alike.
Modern day. Male. Early 40s. A confident and intelligent

Don’t go anywhere, because up next, we've got a retrospective on the Old Portland Underground – an intricate, 150 year old tunnel system that runs underneath

Thanks, Tom. That’s right, I’m standing on the corner of Davis Street and 3rd Avenue in downtown Portland, right outside Old Town Brewing Company’s Downtown Taproom.
And, as the business’s website and socials will tell you, food and drink aren’t the only things you’ll find for sale here.

If you live out here long enough, you’re bound to see some crazy things up in the sky. Especially at night, with so much less light than they get in other states.

Oh, I believe it! You know, something most people don’t know about those photos is that they lost the negatives for a while. Or at least that’s what they say.

So I saw the pictures up on the website. They’re pretty goofy looking. Kind of reminds me of that old show, The Twilight Zone, that always had really bad special effects.
Modern day. Male. 84. Telling a story about his childhood. Calling in to a local TV station to give their opinion on a local legend.

‘Course at the time I loved all that stuff. I watched anything, anything with a– you remember that one, what was it? Oh, Captain Video, that’s- you remember that?
Modern day. Male. 30-40s. Off their rocker but in a harmless sort of way. Calling in to a local TV station to give their opinion on a local legend.

I got abducted once. They looked like fishes dressed up in a Barbara Walters costume. Not a bunch of costumes, mind you, cause they were all real little. But all of them close together looked kind of like her

Why else would it have taken so long for the photos to be found? It took them seventeen years just to figure out how the hell to cover it up!

I think it’s pretty unlikely it’s a fake, since a lot of the initial investigations concluded that the images were legit. And it's not like the two of them profited off it, or anything.
Modern day. Male. Mid 40s. Eager young government agent
- male adult
The suits aren’t the point! The sunglasses aren’t the point! Are you seriously not getting this?
Why only come clean about some of it? Either they experimented on unwitting American citizens, or they didn’t.
(struggling to get the words out)That was…so cliché.
