Howdy, folks, and welcome back to another episode of your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad! In this episode, Tyler surprises Woody with a gripping, unsolved mystery that takes us back to the 1960s in Brazil. The tale begins with the discovery of two men found dead on Vintém Hill, wearing identical suits and homemade lead masks. As Tyler unravels the bizarre details, we dive into the men's involvement in a secret occult society of scientific spiritists, their attempts to contact extraterrestrial spirits, and the strange powder found at their experimental sites. We explore the eerie similarities between this case and another death four years earlier involving a lead mask, and the peculiar witness accounts of a flaming, oval-shaped craft seen hovering above the hill. Could these events be connected to UFO activity, or is there a more sinister explanation involving a hit orchestrated by a spiritist group leader? Join us as we dissect the strange notes found with the bodies, the unexplained phenomena surrounding their deaths, and the unsettling possibility that these men were involved in something far beyond our understanding. This episode is packed with eerie tales, thought-provoking theories, and the high strangeness that we love to explore.

As we take a brief pause between seasons, join us on a journey back to February 2023, a month that may have rewritten the chapters of history. In this bonus episode of "That Would Be Rad," we reopen the extraterrestrial archives, revisiting the strange phenomena that captivated us in one of our most talked-about episodes. From colossal "spy balloons" to the intriguing shootdown of UFOs over the United States and Canada, it's evident that the skies have been busier than ever. Regardless of your political or ideological stance, we can all agree that something peculiar is afoot.

Drawing inspiration from Serge Monast's 1994 theory, we question the motives behind the unexplained events in our skies. As we look up once again, pondering the mysteries that unfold above, this bonus episode invites you to reassess the present in light of the past.
