Doomsday cults, America's Stonehenge, and secret UFO groups were among the fascinating realms explored this past week on Coast to Coast AM. And, here at the C2C website, we told you about the discovery of the smallest-known dinosaur skull, a psychic's prediction which may have foretold the coronavirus pandemic, and an unfortunate end of two breathtaking giraffes in Kenya. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
An often-overlooked mysterious location known as America's Stonehenge received a much-deserved turn in the spotlight on Wednesday night's program as L.A. Marzulli discussed his research into the curious stone ruins. Believed to be 4,000 years old, the puzzling site located in New Hampshire, features a series of standing stones which align with solstices and equinoxes, much like its namesake across the Atlantic. Additionally, he noted, the intriguing location also boasts a sizable stone table that may have been used during rituals in the ancient past. During his appearance, Marzulli put forward the possibility that the site was built by ancient Phoenicians.
The coronavirus pandemic understandably dominated the news cycle this past week and even the world of the weird was not immune to the virus as a 2008 book by the late psychic medium Sylvia Browne found its way into the zeitgeist thanks to a passage in which she seemingly predicted the events unfolding today. In the book, End of Days, she wrote that "in around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe." Thanks in part to Kim Kardashian, of all people, the unearthed prediction went viral online as many wondered if Browne had somehow foreseen the pandemic which has brought the planet to a standstill.
Clandestine groups connected to the UFO phenomenon and possible alien entities were the topic of conversation on a pair of riveting programs this past week on Coast to Coast AM. First, on Saturday night's show, Justen and Wes Faull talked about a secret cabal within the government, known as the Collins Elite, who were tasked with unraveling the connection between occult rituals and the sudden emergence of flying saucers in the late 1940s. Then, on Monday night's program, Len Kasten put forward the shocking theory that there is a Nazi-Reptilian secret space program that operates bases on the Moon and Mars.
Unique-looking creatures made the news this week by way of two decidedly different stories. First, residents in an upstate New York town were bewildered by the appearance of a white 'mystery animal' that no one could quite identify. Authorities were able to determine that it was a piebald deer and asked anyone who encounters the creature to safely admire the wondrous animal from a distance. Meanwhile, over in Kenya, a similar story had a tragic turn as two incredibly rare albino giraffes were senselessly slaughtered by poachers, leaving just one such animal in existence as far as experts are aware.
The unsettling world of Doomsday cults took center stage on Sunday night's program by way of an appearance by author Alan R. Warren, who detailed his research into these groups in which people are often inexplicably compelled to commit unspeakable acts. He shared insight into how infamous individuals like Charles Manson and Jim Jones were able to cultivate and control followers by appealing to their need to be loved and accepted. Warren also delved into how these groups can, over time, devolve into nightmarish scenarios that involve mass suicide or murder.
In something of a historic development, this past week saw the discovery of the smallest-known dinosaur fossil in the form of a tiny skull embedded in a 99-million-year old piece of amber. The miniature remains, which measured a mere quarter-of-an-inch long amazed paleontologists, who say that the diminutive creature was smaller than any bird living on Earth today. The find was made all the more remarkable by the fact that the skull boasted rows of teeth which indicated that, despite its size, the diminutive dinosaur was a predator.
