I remember seeing an old UFO "documentary" about this and finding it hilarious cuz they where trying to present it in the typical format but the town was insisting it was a weather balloon or military activity, the government and military calling it a UFO, the government pretty much handing out boxes of reports when asked about it, ect. Pretty much just everything being the opposite of how they were trying to present it.
Have you ever heard about the Varginha case from Brazil? Well, politicians even created a monument for it... But the city's population HATES it. They hate everything to do with it. I don't even know for sure why... But I can imagine a reason.
@@MCsCreations They hate it because they are ridiculed for this events, even to this day. And because, unlike most UFO "events", the CITY FOLK HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NOISE! It begun with some weather events (ball ligthnings) reported on a farm, after some international media coverage of "UFO sigthings" around the world. If I remember correctly there were some unexplained animal eviscerations on the region too, around the same period. Plus (and worse) some Brazilian "UFO researchers" (aka alien crackpots) lived on the region around there. When they heard about the events in Varginha they flocked to the city, followed by the media. Than, a atention-seeking girl created a tale about seeing an alien, made a description, and sold her BS story to the "researchers", as the press is never happy about paying for other peoples' lies... Nobody took them serious, from day 1, except the comedic entertainment scene, while the crackpots made a very loud fuss about it. It generated a month's worth of "documentaries" both to proove and to disproove the claims. And a crappy PC Game to boot (Incidente em Varginha). And a shitload of comedy sketches on TV, radio and even comic strips making fun of the claims. As a Brazilian kid, those comedies were my primary source of knowledge on the matter. Meanwhile, the population was shocked by the ammount of UFO hunters that invaded the city. And invaded is the rigth word, they were not turists, they were a horde, shufling around farms, breaking into peoples front yards, "interviewing" school teachers during classes... I believe at least once someone took a shot at one of them. For real. BTW, many were from other countries, and make theyr interviews in English, with a non english-speaking "witness", and a very biased translator. And the worst part is that, because of all the noise, now Varginha is a city whose name is reocuring on "HISTORY CHANNEL". That can make any normal person pissed off!
Teenage alien steals the family saucer and goes joyriding around Canada. Crashes it into a lake. Calls the alien version of AAA for help. Gets saucer repaired or towed. Goes back to the mothership to get screamed at by his parents for almost blowing the mission's cover. Is grounded for decades. Never even got to taste the local lobster. The End. ;)
The Letter by The Box Tops was sung by a 16-year old Alex Chilton who went on to form the seminal power pop group Big Star, whose song “In the Street” was covered by Cheap Trick and used as the intro for That ‘70s Show
I was formally a U.S. Naval Aviator, and without watching this to the end, the story sounds as if the was an Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) exercise (practice), or even a real prosecution of an unidentified submarine. Open ocean parachute deployed flares used on ASW prosecution last for an extended period of time, and most people attempting to track or count time, are not accurate. Additionally, ASW helicopters tend to hover on station once they have identified a submerged target. Final thought: a significant majority of people when confronted with a strange activity that they have never seen before tend to greatly misinterpret, or mis-remember events.
I was thinking the same thing. The part about the smell and foam did it for me. No mistaking the smell of burnt flares or the residue they leave on the surface of the ocean.
@@Off-HandedBarrel - I think the foam was actually from a die marker dropped at the datum point of the search. Most likely it was the yellow die marker that is visible at night, and the local tide washed it ashore.
Would they conduct such an operation so close to shore? If memory serves, the water off Shag Harbor is pretty shallow, like 100 feet or so. Is that enough for a real sub to work in? And if this was just practice, why do it so close to a town? There must have been many more suitable places nearby to do a ASW drill.
@@JDFloyd I know it's *possible* that a sub could operate that close to Shag Harbor, my question is 'why would they?' Seems kinda dangerous if it was one of ours, and unnecessarily close to civilians (which I assume they'd want to avoid). If it was Soviet, it seems crazy they'd be this close in, again, near civilians. There's a lot of empty shoreline in NS - why there? Why would us or the Sovs *choose* that spot?
While I served in the army, I was living in Colorado. On the way home after a night on the town, my pregnant sober wife noticed bright orange lights hovering over the base, and was freaking out. Myself, being drunk, and riding passenger, decided to joke and say "oh they're going to call me in any second to set up coms and get this ufo under wraps again." My wife freaked out "UFO!!!????" I laughed "No its a joint training exercise, their dropping flares to light a range from air planes." " but they are hovering!" They have parachutes. My 3 seconds joke, turned into 3 days of laughter at her paranoia. I guess I'm lying as I still laugh 13 years later
Completely anecdotally, in our area they let off a heap of fireworks on a jetty/dock thing, and the water afterwards was a foamy scummy mess that smelled sulphuric, which sounded similar to the descriptions here, so I'm thinking it's just flares.
As a Nova Scotian who's been to shag harbour the people there are completely convinced that it was an alian space craft but as someone who lives on the eastern seaboard we're slightly all crazy
As someone from shag harbor, absolutely not. Most people, young or old do not think it was alien. I've heard more people say it was some local drunk in a lobster boat setting off flares than i have say was aliens
My grandmother supposedly witnessed this, she was interviewed on a documentary decades ago. I was pretty young though, I've never seen it but I'd love to
My great-grandfather’s nickname was Shag, coz he hated shaving & was always sporting a 5 o’clock shadow. After he died, I named a dog (a particularly shaggy one) after him. ✌🏼
I mean, Avro Canada _did_ build a flying saucer, the Avrocar, in the 50’s. It flew like crap and its funding _should_ have gone into putting the Arrow into production.
I think the reason that people spoke weird in early radio, TV and movies was that microphone quality of the time meant that a person speaking normally would be hard to hear.
Interesting. You take a known fact about something, completely ignore it and say 'I think' as though that disproves the evidence and reason already understood.
I think this was definitely flares, especially considering the weird, yellow, sulfur smelling foam. Flares emit sulfur dioxide and other sulfur compounds, and since they burn, generally, with their own oxidizer, it was likely the resulting gasses and organic byproducts of the combustion, acting as a surfactant and trapping the bubbles of smelly gasses.

Well, space isn't empty, but it's a lot more empty and a planet. Solar systems tend to become disks, so you can go above or below the disks, and don't have to worry about crashing into much. Then you've got a pilot that's gotten through all that, and think he's an expert.
I live 2 hours and 45 minutes away from shag harbour!! The word is that everybody who’s local believes that this did happen!! It’s a common knowledge with the local folk NOVA SCOTIA PROUD ❤🇨🇦
Something did happen there, but not many of the locals think it was aliens, just figure it was something military, there was a military base 30 kms away
I'm from Nova Scotia. We drove out there this past summer and sat by the ocean at night. No aliens to report but the ocean at night, as usual was nice.
Just a note on the "can't you just call air traffic control" part. If a plane is flying in clear conditions it can fly under what are called VFR, or visual flight restrictions. When flying under VFR as long as they avoid controlled airspaces like the area directly around airports they don't need to talk to Air Traffic Control at all. A lot of small airports are uncontrolled meaning they don't have a tower at all and the pilots operating there basically just broadcast their intent to taxi or take off in case other pilots are around. So it'd be entirely possible for a plane to crash and no one even know it's missing for quite a while (until the family and friends noticed the pilot and plane was missing and reported it).
I love when witnesses for this stuff estimate distance and size as if it hasn’t been proven many times that we are absolutely shit at judging that information
The Shag Harbour incident yet again :) I was stationed in CFS Shelburne. This event was actually a joint US Canada exercise to test the capability of the Ocean Ops in Shelburne. Long story short. 2 subs with lights on underwater playing hide and seek 2 choppers in the air monitoring positions visually from the air .. Ocean ops in Shelburne helping RCN Sub find the US sub. US sub used different experimental evasion tactics to .. evade detection blowing out different gasses and chemicals to see if any were effective. Was just an exercise not shared with the public. Cus you know aliens... CHeers :)
got my first 3 pairs of Vessi's , Love them. It's been raining here in California, and they really are waterproof. Have to use a shoehorn to get em on but it's worth it. Ronnie.
Reducing the play back speed to 75%......means your voice is just the right amount of busy - and calm - so i can fall asleep and stay asleep - well played beardy - well played :D
Hi Simon, could you do an episode covering the Dyfed Triangle? Multiple school pupils watching a UFO land, UFO sightings and men in black types spotted around Broad Haven. It’s a UK event similar to this episode and strangely, there was also a US submarine listening post based nearby. Cheers 👍🏼
Yes! Thank you! I’ve seen something I can’t explain. It was in the sky. When I say that people like to tell me aliens are either not real or not here. And I’m over here like “who said anything about aliens? I just wanna talk about the weird thing I saw in the sky. Never pretended to know what it was. If I knew that, I’d call it by what it was. But for now, it’s Unidentified, it was flying and I am fairly certain it was an object, so yeah, matches the definition.”
I can't remember which channel/video I first discovered Katy but I distinctly remember loving her humour and always show more interest in a subject when I see her name in the intro. I would love to hear her take on a gory CasCrim.
@@katywatson4940 if you research Robert Joos of Powell Missouri you will go down a rabbit hole of crazy. There are no videos of him on RUclips, yours would be first. He's a white supremacist pastor of an apocalyptic Christian church called “ the sacerdotal order of the church of David and company " he's been linked to the white supremacist bombings in the American south, he allegedly toughy bomb making at his compound in Missouri. Also tied to a few murders including the unsolved murder of a cop.
@@katywatson4940 maybe so but it's still gold and everytime I post it as an idea it's almost instantly flagged for some reason like this time. Maybe you could pass it on
Ugh. As a Canadian I am soooooo sick of people claiming this was aliens. It's common knowledge among my people that it was nothing more than Sasquatch and maple syrup. Do your homework people.
Sounds like an idea for a show. Most vegan food usually has some animal suffering along the way even if it isn't in the actual food. My sister tried, its basically pointless.
To be fair, he was talking about Vessi's made out of sheep wool when they were claiming vegan friendly...not like he fundamentally didn't understand what veganism as a concept is
Just watched this back to back with the Westall UFO episode... Gees what ads and suggestions is the algorithm going to hit me with?! Probably something to do Shags 😂
Off topic, but hard to resist: Was very disappointed when they redesigned the Shag license plate for South Carolina. It used to be big and yellow and it said SHAG in huge letters with official state dance in very small ones…. The words are all small now, but it’s still something I look for whenever I am driving anywhere in the southeastern US….
There is a famous street in Edinburgh City centre with an infamous name, it's called "COCKBURN STREET", but the letter's "CK" are silent, as in COBURN STREET, but it's spelt "COCKBURN", I still find it funny, lol.
4:00 Both of those songs referenced are actually all-time classics: "The Letter" by The Box Tops starts out like, "Give me a ticket for an aeroplane, ain't got time to take a fast train..." I figure many will have heard of this song. "Incense and Peppermints" is harder to describe. More of a psychedelic song, British invasion era, I believe. Also a great song.
It was probably the Bell flying saucer, or the Avrocar. Disc shaped vtol aircraft designed by John Frost, built by Bell and flown from 1959-62 out of that US/Canada base.
I keep meaning to recommend the Ariel School UFO Sighting that happened in South Africa. 1 cause its lesser known but with a lot of witnesses though most kids. and 2 because Simon can go on tangents about how his Nan lived in South Africa. Unrelated to the first suggestion but there are also the Kentucky Goblin encounters which are supposed to be encounters with Aliens. Specifically the August 1955 Christian County encounter at the Langford Home, alternate people in the encounter to look up would be the Sutton family and Billy Ray Taylor's family.
Simon actually did cover this a little while ago, but the Ariel School is actually in Zimbabwe, not South Africa. Look through his past videos. It should be there. 👍
@@tamarinmangold1414 Huh. Just went looking and couldn't find the Ariel School (which you're right is in Zimbabwe not South Africa) covered by any of Simons Channels. He did do the Westfall one in Australia though which is remarkable similiar. Unless he's taken it down for one reason or another I don't think he's covered the Ariel School
@@CartoonHero1986 Hi! I'm SO very sorry! 🤦🏻♀️🙈 You appear to be right! I was so sure I remembered Simon covering this a few months ago, but it must have been someone else I watched, which is unusual, as Simon is my regular for this sort of thing and honestly, most other things, too! I really must profusely apologise for sending you on a wild goose chase like that! ☹️ I feel so bad. 🤦🏻♀️🙈 Please forgive me for wasting your time? 🙈🙈🙈😳😳😳
@@tamarinmangold1414 Oh seriously no worries at all. The Goose chase was an all over a minute of my life so its not like I lost hours of valuable time. Just searched his channels then search youtube in general with no luck. Even Simon mentions he forgets if he's done a certain topic or not he does so many videos so I wouldn't hold a simple error against you.
To shed a little light on the initial operator not thinking it was an aircraft crash until more people had called, Shag Harbour is an incredibly tiny place at the South-Western tip of Nova Scotia, arguably it's one of the furthest places in the province from most of "civilization" given that we really only have two main highway thoroughfares from Halifax to the South shore/Yarmouth, having grown up in a tiny NS town I can say big events are never expected to happen here until well after they've occured.
I've always wondered why someone who can build a craft that can fly and go underwater doesn't make it more stealthy. Lights in the sky isn't the best way to sneak around.
Given the foam, would it be possible for a comet or meteorite that was highly sulfuric in content that caused this mess of sightings? It explains the explosions.
Out of curiosity, I looked up the commemorative “coin” and it is a rectangular item, more like a flat ingot than a coin. Is it still a coin if it’s not at least vaguely round?
In our experience Guinness tastes much better when drank in Ireland. If you've not been, I highly suggest going! We can't wait to go back. But if you live there.... Lucky YOU!! 🍀
Old time radio announcers spoke that way because microphones didn't pick up certain sounds very well. They developed that manner of speech to be better understood.
Southern Alberta has odd flying thing's too. There are one's that flash alternate red and geen. They are stationary for hours. They sometimes move, but usually don't. I only saw them move once. This was when 3 of them were in a rough north- south line started to flash more rapidly. Then 2 of them. The center and most southerly sped off to the west. They have been reported to Calgary airport. They said that they had nothing on radar. Sobwhat they are, I have no idea. Traffic control for catching speeding vehicles? There are remte areas here. Where there is signage stating that speeding is under aircrzft monitoring. Particularly on the number 16, Yellowhead highway. I saw these objects around the number one highway. Medicind Hat to Suffield area. When BATUS was still active. Parachute flares were used during night attack exercises. These were 155 parachute illumination flares. They caused some excitement amongst tourists. (British Army Training Unit Suffield -BATUS.) By the way. Vulcan in Southern Alberta has its own extra terrestrial connections.
I'm sorry. But the navy has a flare that does exactly this. It's gets launched out of a rifle or something, it has a parachute that opens when it comes back down, and then when it hits the water, it releases a secound a secound chemical that then spreads out and is bright orange so that it can be more easily seen in the dark in the water. I wanna say it's used for navy seal extraction stuff? Idk.
Yellow sea foam is literally just something that happens, I live in the English channel and we get it almost daily, the rougher the water the more you tend to get, a quick google search says its mostly organic sea matter that is in the water and churned up
0:15 Alright, Brain Boy, I'll watch Your version (latest version?) of Shag Harbor.. ...Reminds me of an old girlfriend...lol I'm glad I have plenty of Guinness on hand... 😀

So it'd be entirely possible for a plane to crash and no one even know it's missing for quite a while (until the family and friends noticed the pilot and plane was missing and reported it).
Yay I was born and raised here in Nova Scotia (the Annapolis Valley).
Thanks for doing this one!
Always enjoy listening to your videos
Oooo. A photo of coloured blobs. Super meaningful.
I love when witnesses for this stuff estimate distance and size as if it hasn’t been proven many times that we are absolutely shit at judging that information
ESPECIALLY in the sky without visual references close by!
Why would they not do that if asked to try?
Hey! Incense and Peppermints is a cool song! 😊
A+ video!
Awesome writing, great analysis, great images!
The Shag Harbour incident yet again :) I was stationed in CFS Shelburne. This event was actually a joint US Canada exercise to test the capability of the Ocean Ops in Shelburne. Long story short. 2 subs with lights on underwater playing hide and seek 2 choppers in the air monitoring positions visually from the air .. Ocean ops in Shelburne helping RCN Sub find the US sub. US sub used different experimental evasion tactics to .. evade detection blowing out different gasses and chemicals to see if any were effective. Was just an exercise not shared with the public. Cus you know aliens... CHeers :)
I would love for you to go on the record and say this. You sound like you might not be completely full of shit. Maybe you aren't
got my first 3 pairs of Vessi's , Love them. It's been raining here in California, and they really are waterproof. Have to use a shoehorn to get em on but it's worth it. Ronnie.
Incense and Peppermints is AWESOME!!! It’s like psychedelic rock, there’s a fuzz pedal(guitar effect) that’s made to emulate the sound, I have one😄❤️
Strawberry Alarmclock guitarist, Ed King, co-wrote 'Sweet Home Alabama'. When he was a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
'The Letter's is an awesome song too.
Reducing the play back speed to 75%......means your voice is just the right amount of busy - and calm - so i can fall asleep and stay asleep - well played beardy - well played :D
Although we've never met, Katy, I feel that I love you . Also thanks , Simon for presenting her work, so excellently.
Thanks. I feel that I love you too.
I live near Shag Harbour... thanks for sharing.
Thank you for an entertaining half hour.
Hi Simon, could you do an episode covering the Dyfed Triangle? Multiple school pupils watching a UFO land, UFO sightings and men in black types spotted around Broad Haven. It’s a UK event similar to this episode and strangely, there was also a US submarine listening post based nearby. Cheers 👍🏼
Not even five minutes in, and even the writer is going on tangents. This bodes well!
Nice one, Katy
If we knew something was a vessel "from outer space" wouldn't that mean it was an identified flying object and not a UFO?
Yes! Thank you! I’ve seen something I can’t explain. It was in the sky. When I say that people like to tell me aliens are either not real or not here. And I’m over here like “who said anything about aliens? I just wanna talk about the weird thing I saw in the sky. Never pretended to know what it was. If I knew that, I’d call it by what it was. But for now, it’s Unidentified, it was flying and I am fairly certain it was an object, so yeah, matches the definition.”
The flare angle makes the most sense to me, but so does the spy satellite film canister part.
Here we go!
I can't remember which channel/video I first discovered Katy but I distinctly remember loving her humour and always show more interest in a subject when I see her name in the intro. I would love to hear her take on a gory CasCrim.
thanks!
@@katywatson4940 if you research Robert Joos of Powell Missouri you will go down a rabbit hole of crazy. There are no videos of him on RUclips, yours would be first. He's a white supremacist pastor of an apocalyptic Christian church called “ the sacerdotal order of the church of David and company " he's been linked to the white supremacist bombings in the American south, he allegedly toughy bomb making at his compound in Missouri. Also tied to a few murders including the unsolved murder of a cop.
@@Dixie_N0rmis sounds more like a CasCrim episode to be honest!
@@katywatson4940 maybe so but it's still gold and everytime I post it as an idea it's almost instantly flagged for some reason like this time. Maybe you could pass it on
Makes me so happy to hear simon quote austin powers
Do the falcon lake ufo next. Keep the Canadian stories coming!!!
Ugh. As a Canadian I am soooooo sick of people claiming this was aliens. It's common knowledge among my people that it was nothing more than Sasquatch and maple syrup. Do your homework people.
I was assigned to a different Canadian RCC back in 2018. We still have a process to follow when a UFO is reported
Noo?!!!
I remember those songs👍🏼I miss the 60s ❤
Nice, this event makes me crazy for years.
"How does vegan work" is my new favorite simonism
Sounds like an idea for a show. Most vegan food usually has some animal suffering along the way even if it isn't in the actual food. My sister tried, its basically pointless.
To be fair, he was talking about Vessi's made out of sheep wool when they were claiming vegan friendly...not like he fundamentally didn't understand what veganism as a concept is
Someone tell him it's pretty simple: it doesn't.
Just watched this back to back with the Westall UFO episode... Gees what ads and suggestions is the algorithm going to hit me with?! Probably something to do Shags 😂
Off topic, but hard to resist:
Was very disappointed when they redesigned the Shag license plate for South Carolina. It used to be big and yellow and it said SHAG in huge letters with official state dance in very small ones…. The words are all small now, but it’s still something I look for whenever I am driving anywhere in the southeastern US….
I need another 12 hour compilation to fall asleep to
There is a famous street in Edinburgh City centre with an infamous name, it's called "COCKBURN STREET", but the letter's "CK" are silent, as in COBURN STREET, but it's spelt "COCKBURN", I still find it funny, lol.
I had a friend with the surname “Badcock” which she eventually gave up trying to convince everyone it was pronounced “Badco”.
Shag Harbor is one of those interesting sightings that seem probable, but we really don't know what happened. Let's see what DTU has dug up!
The "U" in UFO stands for unidentified? Thanks Simon. Never would have figured that out without you.
The letter is an absolute banger of a song
4:00 Both of those songs referenced are actually all-time classics:
"The Letter" by The Box Tops starts out like, "Give me a ticket for an aeroplane, ain't got time to take a fast train..." I figure many will have heard of this song.
"Incense and Peppermints" is harder to describe. More of a psychedelic song, British invasion era, I believe. Also a great song.
60ft or 80 meters across?
What kind of conversion is that Simon?
It was probably the Bell flying saucer, or the Avrocar. Disc shaped vtol aircraft designed by John Frost, built by Bell and flown from 1959-62 out of that US/Canada base.
I used to live in Charleston, South Carolina and the locals would often talk about Hilton Head.
I have been to the Shag Harbour Interpretation Center!
O have been hoping youd cover this
oh boy my home town i was waiting for this
America isn't real 😂
the lobsters were a part of a community art project, my cousin made one of them (not the alien one)
The Shag is our state dance here in South Carolina 😂
The Box top's version of "the Letter" is ok, but Joe Cocker's cover of it kicks ass and is the version you should look up if you are curious.
Just remember that when it comes to Any government activity, "plausible denial" is the watchword of the day.
I keep meaning to recommend the Ariel School UFO Sighting that happened in South Africa. 1 cause its lesser known but with a lot of witnesses though most kids. and 2 because Simon can go on tangents about how his Nan lived in South Africa.
Unrelated to the first suggestion but there are also the Kentucky Goblin encounters which are supposed to be encounters with Aliens. Specifically the August 1955 Christian County encounter at the Langford Home, alternate people in the encounter to look up would be the Sutton family and Billy Ray Taylor's family.
Simon actually did cover this a little while ago, but the Ariel School is actually in Zimbabwe, not South Africa. Look through his past videos. It should be there. 👍
@@tamarinmangold1414 Awesome thanks for that
@@tamarinmangold1414 Huh. Just went looking and couldn't find the Ariel School (which you're right is in Zimbabwe not South Africa) covered by any of Simons Channels. He did do the Westfall one in Australia though which is remarkable similiar. Unless he's taken it down for one reason or another I don't think he's covered the Ariel School
@@CartoonHero1986 Hi! I'm SO very sorry! 🤦🏻♀️🙈 You appear to be right! I was so sure I remembered Simon covering this a few months ago, but it must have been someone else I watched, which is unusual, as Simon is my regular for this sort of thing and honestly, most other things, too! I really must profusely apologise for sending you on a wild goose chase like that! ☹️ I feel so bad. 🤦🏻♀️🙈 Please forgive me for wasting your time? 🙈🙈🙈😳😳😳
@@tamarinmangold1414 Oh seriously no worries at all. The Goose chase was an all over a minute of my life so its not like I lost hours of valuable time. Just searched his channels then search youtube in general with no luck. Even Simon mentions he forgets if he's done a certain topic or not he does so many videos so I wouldn't hold a simple error against you.
To shed a little light on the initial operator not thinking it was an aircraft crash until more people had called, Shag Harbour is an incredibly tiny place at the South-Western tip of Nova Scotia, arguably it's one of the furthest places in the province from most of "civilization" given that we really only have two main highway thoroughfares from Halifax to the South shore/Yarmouth, having grown up in a tiny NS town I can say big events are never expected to happen here until well after they've occured.
When my son was in grade school studying geography, he’d fall off his chair laughing every time Bancgcock came up! 🤣
Young males used to run around asking what the capitol of Thailand is, screaming "bangcock!" And smacking others in the junk. What a time....
After every episode, I feel like after a Scooby Doo episode. You hope to see a ghost, but Simon takes it's mask off :))
I've always wondered why someone who can build a craft that can fly and go underwater doesn't make it more stealthy. Lights in the sky isn't the best way to sneak around.
Very interesting, I like it!
Given the foam, would it be possible for a comet or meteorite that was highly sulfuric in content that caused this mess of sightings? It explains the explosions.
Or the foam is just normal foam.
Out of curiosity, I looked up the commemorative “coin” and it is a rectangular item, more like a flat ingot than a coin. Is it still a coin if it’s not at least vaguely round?
0:15 Alright, Brain Boy, I'll watch Your version (latest version?).
I'm glad I have plenty of Guinness on hand...
😀
In our experience Guinness tastes much better when drank in Ireland. If you've not been, I highly suggest going! We can't wait to go back. But if you live there....
Lucky YOU!!

Simon can u tellVessi to finaly open up their market to Europe?
I would really like to try them, but they don't ship to the EU 😂
Yeah, I check in about every 6 to 9 months, and that's been for well over a year because I also want to buy/try a pair.
Old time radio announcers spoke that way because microphones didn't pick up certain sounds very well. They developed that manner of speech to be better understood.
Southern Alberta has odd flying thing's too. There are one's that flash alternate red and geen. They are stationary for hours. They sometimes move, but usually don't. I only saw them move once. This was when 3 of them were in a rough north- south line started to flash more rapidly. Then 2 of them. The center and most southerly sped off to the west. They have been reported to Calgary airport. They said that they had nothing on radar. Sobwhat they are, I have no idea. Traffic control for catching speeding vehicles? There are remte areas here. Where there is signage stating that speeding is under aircrzft monitoring. Particularly on the number 16, Yellowhead highway. I saw these objects around the number one highway. Medicind Hat to Suffield area. When BATUS was still active. Parachute flares were used during night attack exercises. These were 155 parachute illumination flares. They caused some excitement amongst tourists. (British Army Training Unit Suffield -BATUS.) By the way. Vulcan in Southern Alberta has its own extra terrestrial connections.
I'm sorry. But the navy has a flare that does exactly this. It's gets launched out of a rifle or something, it has a parachute that opens when it comes back down, and then when it hits the water, it releases a secound a secound chemical that then spreads out and is bright orange so that it can be more easily seen in the dark in the water. I wanna say it's used for navy seal extraction stuff? Idk.
With all the cctv cameras, smart phones etc we still have bugger all pictures of ufos. Live long and prosper 🖖
OH MY GOD INCENSE AND PEPPERMINTS!? I knew that song and beat but I've never heard it in full. I think it was from the recess schools out movie.
Yellow sea foam is literally just something that happens, I live in the English channel and we get it almost daily, the rougher the water the more you tend to get, a quick google search says its mostly organic sea matter that is in the water and churned up
But it doesn’t smell like sulphur.
The UFO or UAP churned up the water.
@@joshfrench5858But flares do
@@QBCPerdition I was talking about sea foam.
@@joshfrench5858easily blamed on hydrogen sulfide pockets disturbed by rough waters, out of sediment. The two don't have to be from the same cause.
Canadian citizens: “HELP! Police! There’s been a plane crash in the harbor!” RCMP: “Nahh, it’ll be fine!”
0:15 Alright, Brain Boy, I'll watch Your version (latest version?) of Shag Harbor..
...Reminds me of an old girlfriend...lol
