Operation Flagship was a U.S Marshals sting operation, where some of Washington DC's most wanted fugitives, were lured to a convention centre under the pretence of having won coveted NFL tickets in December 1985. Upon their arrival, they were greeted by cheerleaders and mascots – all law enforcement officers in disguise. It led to one of America's most successful mass arrests with more than 100 people being arrested. Former US Marshal Stacia Hylton was one of the ‘cheerleaders'. She tells Uma Doraiswamy how the plan came together.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from the death of Adolf Hitler, the first spacewalk and the making of the movie Jaws, to celebrity tortoise Lonesome George, the Kobe earthquake and the invention of superglue. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: Eva Peron – Argentina's Evita; President Ronald Reagan and his famous ‘tear down this wall' speech; Thomas Keneally on why he wrote Schindler's List; and Jacques Derrida, France's ‘rock star' philosopher. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the civil rights swimming protest; the disastrous D-Day rehearsal; and the death of one of the world's oldest languages.(Photo: Operation Flagship invite sent out to fugitives.

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Andy and Dana welcome Connor back to the show to discuss the 1977 sci-fi masterpiece Close Encounters of the Third Kind.  Jason couldn't make this one due to Covid (remember Covid?) but wanted us to carry on without him.  In this Speilberg classic, the dude from Jaws sees UFOs and totally goes off the deep in in pursuit of them.  Mrs Mr Mom is his not very understand wife and Ralphie's mom is there to pick up the pieces.  We all know the music, and you probably already know if you like this one or not, but we dive deep into all the fun facts that made this movie a blockbuster in 1977 and allowed a directors cut in 1980 which cut out the famous scene of Roy collecting material to build his own Devil's Tower.   Bad cut Steven!  Enjoy the pod.Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1985 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983 & 1984 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing). Plus one-off specials and a weekly mini "what are we watching" podcast.#jezoo74 #aegonzo1 #danacapoferri #exciting_new

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear ~ In the course of researching UFO cases in Spanish speaking countries, one is bound to run into Scott Corrales and Inexplicata: The Journal of Hispanic UFOlogy. It exists today as a website, but in the fall of 1998, Corrales put out the first print version. In issue number 3, put out in the spring of 1999, Corrales celebrates the public reception of the first two issues and notes that there were 1800 visitors to the inexplicata.com website. In that issue is an article by Javier Garcia Blanco headlined “Roadside Encounters: UFOs, Aliens and Missing Time,” that Corrales promises, “does for driving what Spielberg's Jaws did for swimming: you won't want to get behind the wheel!” Blanco is credited with being the editor (along with Angel Briongos Martinez) of the Spain-based magazine Declasificado and the director of LACIP.The first case Blanco goes into is that of “veteran radio personality” Pedro Mateo and his wife, Gloria Jiménez. According to him, Mateo described what he said happened to him and his wife on June 26, 1977, after explaining, “I have it etched upon my mind because we were flying to Dusseldorf that day, and most of what happens to me I write in a notebook.” He said that after leaving Zaragoza at around 5:00 a.m., they were just past the town of Los Garrigues after sunrise when they saw a disk-shaped object off in the distance. He wasn't “overly concerned” at that point, but got scared when it proceeded to move quickly and silently towards them. Read more →

Looking for honest reviews without Hollywood spin? This hour delivers tension, controversy, and Andy Peth's unfiltered opinion as he takes the mic for a Friday edition of https://RushToReason.com, delivering two sharply contrasting movie reviews that pull no punches. First up is Not Without Hope, a true survival story set in the unforgiving Gulf of Mexico. Starring Zachary Levi, the film asks a haunting question: what happens when elite athletes face an enemy they can't overpower—the ocean itself? Andy praises the acting, realism, and immersive camerawork, but questions the pacing. 11:10 – Not Without Hope movie review • Andy's ratings: Quality ★★½ | Political ★★ | Moral/Religious ★½ Then Andy turns his attention to the holiday slasher Silent Night, Deadly Night, a Christmas horror film with a killer Santa and a disturbing moral twist. Does brutality equal horror? Andy doesn't think so. Despite a few solid performances and inventive moments, he finds the story implausible, boring, and wildly overrated. His verdict is brutal. 22:58 – Silent Night, Deadly Night movie review • Andy's ratings: Quality ★½ | Political ★★★ | Moral/Religious ★ HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason turns cinematic as Andy Peth, joined by Luke Chasman and Tanner Coleman, dives headfirst into “Movies of the Sea”—from swashbuckling adventures to submarine warfare and shark-infested nightmares. What makes a great ocean movie: spectacle, tension, or pure fear? The crew debates classics like Pirates of the Caribbean and Jaws, praises modern standouts such as Aquaman (the first one), and contrasts them with notorious misfires like Pearl Harbor and Aquaman 2. The conversation plunges deeper with gripping submarine films, including Das Boot, U-571, The Hunt for Red October, and The Abyss, highlighting claustrophobia, sound design, and the terror of depth charges in total darkness. Sharks circle the discussion with Deep Blue Sea, The Meg, and even Sharknado, blending genuine tension with campy fun. Animated favorites like Finding Nemo spark nostalgia—and a sharp critique of how Pixar's magic has faded. Is fear more effective when it's realistic, or when it's ridiculous? Packed with rapid-fire opinions, humor, and movie-love energy, this hour asks one irresistible question: which sea movie still holds up when the water gets rough?

DAMTT: Two-Legged Lamps, Jaws, and Choosing Wit After missing a week due to sickness, Stacy and Eric are together again! Stacy is knee-deep in prepping her house for sale, which is making her way less enthused to decorate her house, while per tradition, Eric's place is decorated, save for the tree which will go up eventually. Naturally this leads to a rabbit hole about real versus fake trees and holiday smells. Speaking of smells, Stacy had a sensory shopping experience that was doggone awful! Eric has some recent wins with both his deck and solar panels finally being done, just in time for the rain. As for Cultural Blindspots, Stacy has been WAY too busy watching bad holidating movies to check anything off the list whereas Eric checked off every James Bond movie featuring Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton. His take was the movies weren't terribly smart, but they were very funny, a theme that ties perfectly into this episode's topic of Smart vs. Funny. In the end Stacy and Eric agree that a smart person picks a funny one. DAMTT is on Facebook and Instagram as @dontaskme to talk or email asking@dontaskmetotalk.com Next Time: Is Water Wet?

When Crystal Palace play Manchester City on 14 December, Neale Ormstead will become the first visually impaired commentator of a premier league football match. That's thanks to a new headset which has allowed him to see games in detail for the first time in years. He's nervous and excited to join Crystal Palace's specialist commentary team and wants more clubs to buy into the GiveVision headsets which have revolutionised his match-day experience.It's Disability History Month and the Disability Law Service (DLS), which gives free legal advice on everything from housing to employment, has just marked its 50th birthday. It started in 1975 - the same year Jaws hit the cinema. Andrew MacKay, its CEO and a lawyer himself, remembers some of the cases DLS is most proud of, talks about his team - 90% of whom are disabled - and reveals how he manages his ADHD alongside a law career. And Mat Fraser, a successful actor, musician and activist with short arms, is on the show to talk about a brand new arts project. Mat was a big figure on rights marches and crip cabarets in the 1990s and explains how you can contribute to Disability Arts Online's new archive project, Cripping Culture, which has received £250,000 in funding to make sure no disability culture memories are lost. He also talks about his recent double hip replacement and how he's already got back to picking up teacups with his toes...Presented by Emma Tracey Sound mixed by Dave O'Neill Produced by Emma Tracey and Alex Collins Series producer is Beth Rose Editor is Damon Rose

They proclaimed a new Republic of Biafra.When the fighting began, Soyinka was building a reputation as a poet and playwright abroad. However, in a last-ditch attempt to avert civil war, he set off on a secret mission behind the front line to meet the Biafran leader, Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. When he left Biafra, he was imprisoned by the federal government without trial for more than two years.Soyinka drew on his prison experience in his writing over the following years, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986 - the first African to win the award.

When the south-east region of Nigeria declared itself to be the independent state of Biafra, civil war broke out in May 1967. More than a million people died before the fighting stopped. In 2021, Patricia Ngozi Ebigwe, now better known as TV and music star Patti Boulaye, spoke to Paul Waters about escaping the conflict. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from the death of Adolf Hitler, the first spacewalk and the making of the movie Jaws, to celebrity tortoise Lonesome George, the Kobe earthquake and the invention of superglue. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: Eva Peron – Argentina's Evita; President Ronald Reagan and his famous ‘tear down this wall' speech; Thomas Keneally on why he wrote Schindler's List; and Jacques Derrida, France's ‘rock star' philosopher. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the civil rights swimming protest; the disastrous D-Day rehearsal; and the death of one of the world's oldest languages.(Photo: Government troops during the Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Biafran War, 1969.
