This week’s show kicks off with an enticing offer of protection from “Armageddon” all for the small fee of $100,000 per head.

We then discuss Autumn Williams’ new book, and the response it has triggered from Cryptozoology enthusiasts, before heading down memory lane with a classic Bigfoot abduction account.

We’ve also got Voodoo curses, more South American humanoid encounters and much, much more.

Read on for music and show notes.

You’re strolling home from a late dinner with friends, and as you cross the street and begin walking along the sidewalk that carries you the next few blocks to your home, a familiar chain of events begins to occur.

In anticipation of the sudden apprehension that emerges as you pass beneath street lights which, inexplicably, black out as you walk beneath them, you feel a slight chill. You’re also concerned about there being less light to guide your path along an otherwise dark street, but there seems to be no way to prevent the curious and inexplicable way in which you cause street lights directly above you to malfunction.

SLI, or Street Light Interference, is one of the most often overlooked–albeit one of the strangest–purported phenomenon in the modern era. Recently, I received a copy of Hillary Evans’ new book SLIders: The Enigma of Streetlight Interference, new from Anomalist Books. One considered an urban legend, nowadays more and more people have begun to acknowledge that, indeed, some individuals appear to have a propensity for knocking out streetlights, and even influencing other electronic devices with some (perhaps unknown) biological function.

Many who follow conspiracy theories are already familiar with the failed (and tragic) tale of Undercover Kitty, a cat implanted with surveillance equipment trained to spy remotely in CIA operations.

Unfortunately, on it’s inaugural mission, the original bionic cat, fixed with an antennae that ran the length of its tail, was smashed by a car, thus ending a rather drawn out (and expensive) special ops program that never got off the ground before it was terminated… literally.

Nowadays, we can say with a clearer conscience that most folks who seek to supplement cats, or any other animals, with bionic features have more caring intentions. In an upcoming BBC documentary, the story of “Oscar,” a black cat whose hind paws had to be amputated, details how he was fixed with small metallic appendages which, with minimal practice, allowed him to walk again.

Friday July 2nd will mark the 73rd anniversary of Amelia Earhart’s disappearance while on the last leg of her historic ’round the world flight.

And though she’s been lost for more than three-quarters of a century, the search to solve the mystery of her fate continues. Less than a month ago,  The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR), completed their tenth expedition to remote island of Nikumaroro where they have been seeking evidence to back up their theory that Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan crash landed on the island and survived for a time as castaways.

Show notes, books, and music after the jump.

REALITY, n. The dream of a mad philosopher. That which would remain in the cupel if one should assay a phantom. The nucleus of a vacuum. - The Devil’s Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce, born April 24, 1842

Every day on Mysterious Universe is UFO day, but today, June 24, is the official UFO Day. According to Wikipedia, in 2001, June 24 was designated World UFO Day in honor of Kenneth Arnold’s 1947 sighting of nine crescent-moon shaped craft flying over Mt. Rainer in Washington State that ushered in the modern UFO era.

So how are we expected to celebrate UFO day? All we have to do is look up, watch the skies and maybe see something as unidentifiable as Kenneth Arnold describes:
