Spooky Science Sisters ·

2025/09/12

In this episode, we're digging into the legend of the chupacabra: part horror movie, part tabloid frenzy, and part… sick dog!?

The Roswell Incident

Spooky Science Sisters ·

2025/07/25

In this episode, we break down the details of what became one of the most famous UFO incidents to ever occur. Initially dismissed (and accepted by the public) in 1947 as a weather balloon, Roswell would rocket to fame over 30 years later when a former Air Force intelligence officer came forward to say that the whole thing was a cover-up for a crashed alien spaceship. We're here to tell you that there actually was a cover-up at Roswell, but not for the reasons the ufology community believes...(We

Spooky Science Sisters ·

2025/04/04

In this episode, we're revisiting the UFO phenomenon by taking a detailed look at their history in the United States, and how we ended up with the UAPs of today. What did Kenneth Arnold actually see on that fateful day in 1947? Why would the Air Force ever think it was good idea to reassure the public about UFOs by naming one of their investigations "Project Grudge?" Why is the Western U.S. the best place to spot UFOs?
