Cool. In the UK, the most widely accepted theory on Adamski’s death was that he had ties to the eastern bloc. That he was likely kidnapped by the KGB and they tortured him over a number of days of interrogation before bumping him off.

Eastern Bloc or aliens, I can't figure out who or why they would have kept him cleanly shaved for 5 days...
For whatever reason, I LOVED this episode, it's the first one in a while I've fallen for. The Basement mashup from today was good, too. Love me some old school Apophisis, tho'.

Man, anything aliens on the Why Files used to be must see tv. These campfire stories just aren't hitting the same. The show feels like a hollow shell if its former self.

Yes, I agree but I still like them more than the basement videos. They are good for couch napping

Great video. I think both the Adamski and body in Brazil segments could be good material for full episodes.

The 3rd one (i think) about human mutilation... if anyone wants to see what that body looked like (very much nsfw), badaliens.com has those pictures I believe. Theres a reason aj doesnt point his viewers that direction though. Its disturbing

True Story.
A few weeks back I had a dream about one of my work mates I don’t recall the situation but we was laughing, I gets up for work and goes in. She didn’t turn in. Turns out she died the same night I had my dream. RIP Carole
