The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the events of 1940 Gateshead whereby an absolutely reliable five year old witnessed the death of an alien. Death, via shovel. The five year old was chased by this alien you see dear probers but the uncle of the witness, protected the witness via devastating shovel strike. That witness was Robert Hall, a man who searched for answers many years later. Prior to the shovel strike, Robert had witnessed all many of extraterrestrial entities during a soldier parade of sorts and Robert was a victim of alien abduction. All that and more on this week’s file.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe an anonymous person with a case of the Hayley’s in that they were seeing dead people. Or were they? Were the entities actually aliens? Can crystals protect from dark energy? All that and more, although probably not, in this episode. Yeah, that’s about it.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe a possible UFO and alien or ghost encounter on the 1960’s streets of Saltwood, Kent, in the United Kingdom. Four honourable friends (well one of them was particularly honourable) were heading home one evening when they saw an orb in the sky which may have been a spacecraft but that isn’t even the shocking part. What the friends saw next, was incredible. This thing, was like a half bat, half human. Batman? Half-Bat? Bat-Slice! This Bat-Slice waddled but it didn’t waddle away, waddle waddle… Would the police intervene or would another honourable and trustworthy character have to step in to prove this case? Logic! Evidence… All that and more on this week’s file.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe events at the Base Aérea de Talavera la Real aka the Talavera la Real Air Base in Badajoz, in the Southwest of Spain. A couple of soldiers were out for a patrol aka walk and made the questionable decision to split up. When they did, things started to get strange. First, there was a whistle. Then, a dog got spooked and not only spooked but sick. Following that, something appeared and this something may just have been otherworldly. The soldiers did what soldiers would be expected to do but did this encounter leave any evidence behind? All that and more on this week’s file.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe a mythological creature almost Pokemon-esque in original description but were the locals of Solomon Island mistaking a technological creation for that of nature? One man would come to know the truth, though Marius Boirayon also isn’t entirely sure. Also, what the F are Wombles? All that and more on this wonderful episode…

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe sightings of a legendary beast in the San Antonio area of Texas dating back allegedly to the 1800’s. The donkey lady has a grim origin involving either murder or arson and murder. Either way, the donkey lady has been seeking revenge ever since and the internet is rife with sightings. It’s not entirely clear as to whether this is someone resembling a donkey or someone who has been combined with a donkey. In the early 2000’s you could actually give the Donkey Lady a telephone call. But is she real? All that and more on this week’s file.

For years we've discussed dropping the Side Probe from the archives where we met a penis in a jar and now the time has come... For the ears of all, here is that historic episode where we probe Rasputin. Oh my, there is a lot to get through here and we brought it all to you in a single extended episode. The rumours say that Rasputin was a man of paranormal abilities but was he really? We establish that the Tsar or Czar, Nicolas (the Second) Romanov, had a regal moustache before diving straight in to Rasputin’s origin story. What is it about Rasputin’s eyes? Was Nickelodeon around in the early 1900’s? Or had the miracle healing powers of Rugrats plasters not been invented yet? Did you know that Rasputin actually changed his name? You’ll never believe what to as it’s such a big departure from Rasputin but why did he do it? Unfortunately, eventually, Rasputin would one day discover that with great power comes great responsibility. Once he did, where did Rasputin’s dick supposedly end up? All that and more on this episode from the archives. Sorry about the sound quality...

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe our most mischievous but kind of pointless festive trouble-makers yet, the Christmas Goblins. Known in ancient antiquity such as ancient greek culture as Kallikantzaros, these things have been rodeo’ing strangers and weeing on flowerbeds in between trying to cause the end of the world. For millennia. But can we find any evidence of their existence? What if we told you that we can? Allegedly. Truthfully. If you were born on one of the twelve days of Christmas, you just might turn in to one of these creatures. Unless someone singed your toes as a baby… All that and more on this week’s episode (released two days earlier than usual - Happy Christmas probers).
