A fascinating incident from September 1952, itself taking place during a year in which waves of UFO sightings from around the world were happening, remains one of the most debated accounts of UFO activity and extraterrestrial visitation in the modern UFO era. On this particular evening, a group of children playing in the field of a local school would witness what appeared to be a UFO screeching out of the sky before landing in a farmer's field nearby. After informing one of the parents of the boys of the incident, a small group would then venture out to investigate. When they arrived, however, they would witness something strange in the darkness of the woodlands nearby, something that was not only watching them, but that would seemingly look to attack the group. I'm Darren Marlar and this is Weird Darkness. Welcome, Weirdos. I'm Darren Marlar and this is Weird Darkness. Here, you'll find stories of the paranormal, supernatural, legends, lore, the strange and bizarre, crime, conspiracy, mysterious, macabre, unsolved and unexplained. Coming up in this episode, the early 1950s was a time of flying saucer mania, with reports coming in from all over on a regular basis. But one particular incident involving a UFO and then a monster sighting in Braxton County, West Virginia is one of the most intriguing and entertaining encounters on record.

The incident is perhaps one of the most well-known on record and certainly generated a lot of interest at the time, even when UFO reports were coming in during some stretches almost daily throughout 1952. Over the decades that have unfolded since, there have been plenty of explanations for the strange incident. It very well may one day come to light that the incident was a crashed UFO that resulted in the encounter with a monstrous extraterrestrial being. Or it may be that the widely agreed upon belief that the incident was a case of coincidence and timing proves correct, that what the children witnessed that evening was perhaps a meteor crashing to the ground before encountering a very earthly animal upon searching for it a short time later. Perhaps on this occasion, coincidence and timing are worthy explanations. Before we examine those, though, we will turn our attention back to the autumn evening in West Virginia all those years ago. Perhaps the best place to start would be to return to the early evening of September 12, 1952 in Flatwoods Braxton County in West Virginia. It was around 7.15 p.m. when several children were playing football within the grounds of a local school when they suddenly noticed something bright and flashing screech across the sky. Once more, the object appeared to land a short distance away on the land of one of the local farmers. The children, after coming to their senses, rushed to the home of two of the boy's brothers, 14-year-old Eddie May and 13-year-old Fred May. They would excitedly tell the boy's mother, Kathleen, of what they had seen, and along with a small group of children, 10-year-old Tommy Hire and Ronnie Shaver, 14-year-old Neil Nunley and 17-year-old Jean Lemon, who was a West Virginia National Guardsman, she would accompany the boys to the spot where they claimed the strange object had crashed to the ground. Jean's dog also tagged along with the group. The initial accounts and what makes up the backbone of the incident would appear in an article in Fate Magazine, with Gray Barker arriving at the location shortly after the encounter had played out and piecing the article together after speaking to those involved and collecting recorded interviews. We will explore some of the apparent explanations of the encounter that would unfold shortly. We will first, however, turn our attention to what happened once the group arrived at the top of the hill, overlooking where the alleged flying saucer landed. This is where reports vary somewhat. In the book, Monsters of West Virginia, Mysterious Creatures on the Mountain State, it is claimed that the witnesses could most definitely see a craft of some kind either landed or sticking out of the ground. It also claimed that a machine-like whining noise filled the air and that the dog began to react strangely. In fact, according to this account, the dog was later found to have vomited near the house when it was found and would pass away a short time later. According to initial reports, though, once the group arrived at the top of the hill, they could see a red pulsating light. It is uncertain if this pulsating light was coming from the alleged landed craft, but some reports state that the craft had originally landed on the hillside before moving to a nearby valley. However, thoughts of the craft itself peeled in comparison to the frightful scene that awaited them when Lemon turned the flashlight that he was carrying toward the apparent glow. There in front of them stood a man-like figure which appeared to be surrounded by a pointed hood-like shape. What's more, the figure had a round red face with eyes that appeared to glow a greenish-orange color. They would estimate the figure to be around 10 to 12 feet tall and easily towered over the group. One witness, Mrs. May, claimed to see small, claw-like hands. She would later also recall that the strange figure had a head of a similar shape to the ace of spades. None of the witnesses could fully make out the torso or lower part of the entity, other than it appeared dark and colorless. Some of the witnesses would later state that there appeared to be a machine-like quality to the creature, almost as if the outer clothing was some kind of hard suit or armor. What's more, this hard exterior appeared to reflect the green of the surrounding trees and bushes. Although they couldn't make out any further details of the lower half of the creature, the general view would suggest that the middle area was almost cylindrical, while the bottom part appeared to fan outward like metallic apron of sorts. Whatever it was, it appeared to be watching them, intently. The onlookers watched back. Until that is, it made a hissing sound and appeared to move in a gliding motion toward the small group. This caused them to immediately turn and run, with lemon dropping the flashlight in shock as they did so. Mrs. May, according to some sources, claimed that the creature squirted an oily substance onto her clothing. As this was taking place, several of the witnesses would later recall how they became aware of a pungent mist creeping over the area. When some of the witnesses later reported feeling ill, particularly with nausea, it was suspected that this mist might have been an intentionally released chemical agent by the strange being that they had encountered. However, none of the witnesses, apart from Lemon's dog, if the report is accurate, would suffer any long-lasting or drastic effects, although, once more, some sources on the account state that Lemon would spend most of the evening vomiting, while two of the boys sought medical advice for a sore throat in the days following the incident. Because of reports of a crashed aircraft, it wasn't long before the sheriff and deputy arrived to investigate the site, as would several local residents of the town. However, despite the search of the area, it could see nothing out of the ordinary. Nor could they sense any sign or smell of the strange mist the witnesses claimed quickly enveloped the area as the creature headed toward them. With so many witnesses all claiming the same thing, combined with the genuine fright that was evident in each of them, it was clear that something did occur out in the woodlands that evening. What that something was, though, was far from clear. With the UFO wave of 1952 well underway, with waves of sightings stretching back to the start of the year, UFOs and alien visitors were certainly embedding themselves into the American psyche by this point. So much so, that the following day, a reporter from the Braxton Democrat, Ailey Stewart, arrived at the scene to take a look for himself. He would discover strange markings where the group had claimed to see the UFO land, although they very well might have been left by the tires of a car. He would also, however, discover an odd, gummy deposit. This detail is perhaps more interesting, as many UFO landing encounters do often leave an oily substance behind, which often fades or seeps into the ground. Whether that was the case here or not is open to debate. According to Barker's investigation and research, there were several residents of the town who witnessed the strange object overhead that evening, and all were from various different locations around the town stretching out to a 20-mile radius. Barker would conclude that this might suggest either the same object was circling the town, possibly searching for a hill or field to land in, either out of necessity or for observational purposes, or that it was the same object simply visible to multiple locations. It is worth noting that during 1952, as in 1950, many UFO sightings involved these strange objects landing in a distant field or hillside. With that in mind, Barker's conclusions have a logic of their time to them. An interest in the case seeped out of the small community. The town was descended upon by UFO investigators, both those working in a private capacity and those from many of the groups that were beginning to pop up around the United States, as well as reporters from newspapers right across America. With this interest came further investigations, theories, and explanations. According to monsters of West Virginia, the U.S. Air Force would issue orders for the state's National Guard to investigate the matter. A unit would arrive in Flatwoods, as well as in the nearby town of Frametown, so they could investigate similar UFO sightings there. Reports in local newspapers would ultimately state the UFOs were meteor-like, as it or they moved across the sky. This would ultimately be the settled-upon explanation for the UFO sighting that evening over Flatwoods. It was further theorized that the meteors must have burned up, as there were no known remains discovered at the site where the children claimed the UFO had landed. Years later, some of the residents of the town would insist that all that was witnessed overhead was a meteor, and the fact that some descriptions would even state that the UFO appeared to disintegrate would appear to back that explanation up. However, many researchers at the time would stick to their findings from speaking with local residents, some of whom claimed to have seen something clearly land near the woodland, while others claimed there was a purposeful movement to the object that was unlike a meteor or comet. There are also other reports of the bizarre, monstrous entity on record. While we will examine some of the proposed explanations for the creature at Flatwood shortly, it is those other sightings where we will turn our attention next. We'll look at some of those sightings of the Flatwoods monster when Weird Darkness returns.

Some of the other sightings of the Flatwoods monster are perhaps not as widely known but are equally intriguing. For example, according to one report, a young couple and their younger toddler would see an almost identical creature in the town of Frantown, where the other National Guard unit would be deployed to, we might remember, the night after the encounter in Flatwood. Apparently, the couple was so traumatized by the creature that they refused to even speak about it until years later. Another couple from Queens, New York, George and Edith Snitowsky, who were passing through Braxton County on their way home from Cincinnati, Ohio, also witnessed it. It was around 8pm when their car suddenly came to a stop just outside Frantown. George would attempt to find out what the problem with the car was but was unable to restart it. As the couple stood in the open air, they noticed a strange and intense smell, an aroma that was similar to burnt sulfur. This is intriguing as many UFO and paranormal cases feature this detail in their accounts. The smell was so intense that it appeared to wake their baby causing it to cry. The couple remained with their vehicle, the light now beginning to fade rapidly. Frantown was at least 10 miles away, if not more. As George was contemplating what to do next, a sudden flash lit up the entire area. It appeared to come out of the woods. George would reach for a window in an effort to see more clearly what was taking place. As he did so, a thick mist filled the inside of the car, a mist that made him feel instantly nauseous, much like several of the witnesses in the Flatwoods incident. Even so, he opened the door and stepped outside to investigate. As soon as he straightened and stood upright, he could see a bizarre glowing sphere, similar to a giant frosted street lamp. It appeared to be floating in the air. He would estimate that it was about 300 yards away, maybe slightly less, from where he stood. As it hovered, it appeared to move back and forth as if being dangled by an invisible string. George began to head toward the strange orb, noting that as he did so, the nauseous feeling appeared to be getting worse. As he got closer, with the strange mist still swirling all around him, he suddenly began to feel a burning sensation run through him. He continued on a little further. However, the burning feeling rapidly progressed into a feeling similar to a low-grade electric shock. Realizing he was dealing with something truly bizarre, he turned around and headed straight back to the car where his wife and their young child waited. When he heard Edith scream out from the vehicle, he shook off the rubbery feel of his legs and went straight toward the sound. The sphere shape was now near the vehicle. Only now he could see a huge figure underneath the light of the glowing orb. He would claim the creature was around 9 feet tall and very much human-shaped. All that is except for the head which was almost reptilian. George would describe the body as weird and bloated in the lower half of the body as a solid mass of some sort. He reached the car as the figure was moving closer. He jumped inside and pulled his wife and child to the floor of the vehicle. It was then he reached into the glovebox and pulled out a knife that sat inside. By the time he turned his attention to the car's window, the strange creature was now directly in front. It reached forward revealing its spindly arm that ended in a bisected fork of fingers. The claw-like hand scraped across the glass of the windshield. George noticed though that this was not so much an attack but more as though it was examining the vehicle somewhat. After a few moments of this closer look of the car's exterior, the strange creature simply turned and floated into the woods. Within moments it had disappeared behind the trees and vegetation. The disturbed couple though would remain in the car, watching the area in case it was to suddenly emerge once more. After several minutes they saw the globe-like object rise upwards above the trees and moved into the air. A few moments later it would zip into the distance at incredible speed and vanish. After several moments, with the couple each still unsure of exactly what had happened, George reached down to the keys and the ignition. He turned to them, hoping against hope that the engine would somehow start. Much to his surprise, not to mention his relief, the engine ticked over and burst into life. They would drive away from the area immediately, not stopping until they reached a truck-stop diner several miles down the road. Once there they would go inside and attempt to make sense of the events of the last half hour. They would ultimately decide not to speak of the incident, lest people didn't believe them. Not wishing to drive any further, they would spend the night in a nearby hotel. They did not see the creature again and would leave the area headed for Queens early the next morning. Before setting out on the journey though, George would discover a burn mark of sorts on the exterior of the car, where the strange creature had seemingly made contact with it the previous evening. Although the young couple was not aware of it, the following evening, on September 15th, multiple residents of the town of Wheeling would bombard the local police desk with reports of a monster near Oglebay Park. The vast majority of the reports claimed the monster had been seen in a housing development. What was interesting about the reports was that they came from people who were reporting a sighting of the monster that had been given to them, either by a child, relative or neighbor. Police did attempt to locate the creature, but no actual sightings of it were made. It is surely highly coincidental though that such a rash of sightings, second hand though they might be, should be reported at the same time as other similar sightings in the area. Whether these sightings are connected to the encounters in Flatwoods or not is perhaps open to debate. It does though cast an element of doubt onto the eventual explanations for the case. Perhaps of further intrigue is the fact that the main witnesses were apparently discreetly visited by a strange group of men who simply offered that they were from the government. As well as being interviewed relatively extensively, the men would take away the clothing that was oil stained, as well as several pieces of metal that the witnesses claimed to have seized a short time after the incident. Apparently these items were not returned to the witnesses, and their whereabouts remain unknown today. At around the same time the press coverage of the witnesses changed somewhat, with them suddenly made to appear like ignorant country folk who had become scared during a meteor episode. This was the view taken by several astronomer experts in interviews with local and national papers in the weeks following the encounter. The tale would take an even stranger twist however, a month or so later, when a letter arrived with Mrs. May from Washington DC apparently offering a different explanation. It would state that the object she had witnessed was an experimental military craft which was designed for lunar travel. What's more, there were four of these craft overhead on the night in question. This is important as we will shortly examine the claims of a researcher who would state that the object was part of a formation of four alien craft. We should perhaps note also that there is a chance that a great many of the accounts became a little more inflated over time. The more reporters flocked to the area, the more neighbors and people not actually at the scene would be spoken to. All of a sudden hearsay would infiltrate the incident, at least in some reports. It's perhaps easy to see then why some of the other accounts and sightings of not just UFOs, but the creature itself have perhaps been overlooked. Not least that of the couple traveling back to Queens. Might it be possible that this information allegedly sent to Mrs. May by the government was to implant the seeds of a cover-up, even down to the mentioning of four vehicles in order to combat any witnesses who might make such a statement? As we shall see later, despite the apparent explanations, apparent new evidence the last two decades might suggest just that. For now, though, we'll turn our attention to these explanations next. Perhaps the most likely and accepted explanation, at least for the incident in Flatwoods, was that the UFO was not, in fact, a UFO at all, but simply a meteor that the children believed landed nearby but had actually disappeared a little way over the hillside. The research of Joe Nickel in the year 2000 would certainly suggest this. The pulsating light, for example, was explained as either the afterglow of the passing meteor on the land below or, more likely, from one of three nearby plane beacons which did indeed have a red glow to them. There was also an apparent explanation for the markings on the ground and the gooey substance. A local claimed it was from his pickup truck that had been there just after the incident had occurred as he had driven there out of curiosity. Not only were the markings from his tires, but the substance was oil from the car itself. This is interesting. Not so much as it explains the situation reported in the newspaper as discovered by its reporter, but it brings back to mind the claims of Mrs. May and the oily substance she claimed the entity unleashed in her direction, consequently staining her clothes. The same clothes it is claimed were recovered by government agents and not returned. It would certainly be a stretch to suggest to cover up, but it is perhaps worthy of keeping the idea that this substance may have been of importance at the back of our minds, especially when we learn that according to some researchers, there is little to substantiate the account other than the later admission report. The other aspects of the encounter were also seemingly neatly summed up. For example, the strange mist was explained away as nothing more than just normal fog or mist that settled into the area, this despite the claims of toxic or nauseous smells to it. The sickness of the witnesses was also seemingly dismissed as nothing more than shock, with the throat infections being attributed to the children screaming loudly when frightened. This is certainly possible, although these aspects are certainly not as neat a fit as those to explain the UFO and strange lights. Nor is the explanation, after a few moments' contemplation, that the strange aroma was nothing more than the type of grass that was native to the county. It would seem bizarre that so many locals who had lived their entire lives in the region should suddenly become aware of this strange smell. Indeed, with these last suggestions in mind, and let us remember that is what they are, suggestions, the watertight explanation perhaps doesn't seem so watertight after all. That then brings us to the creature and what it might have been. Nikko would also suggest, and many others would agree with him, that what the group witnessed that evening was not a robotic creature from outer space with monstrous eyes and claws, but rather nothing more than a barn owl. When sketches and drawings of the creature have been produced, there is indeed a similar shape to a common barn owl, and we should recall how all of the witnesses claimed that they couldn't see clearly the lower half of the body. They would state that all that there was was a dark form. Many who subscribed to the explanation that the alien in the trees was actually an owl offer that the reason the witnesses didn't see a lower torso is that there was nothing to see, only forest and underbrush. The owl was likely perched on the branch, and in the confusion and fright of the situation, likely appeared as a tall creature with a round head and glowing eyes, especially when the torch would have reflected off those eyes. Indeed, some reports state that Mrs. May initially stated that the eyes appeared similar to a raccoon. Upon being confronted by the group, the owl, likely itself alarmed by the sudden influx of people, flew from the branch, although likely not to attack but merely escaped the location. This would also explain, according to the argument, the gliding or floating nature of the creature. Even the hissing, whining, or squealing sounds said to be heard by those in the group of witnesses are apparently similar to sounds one might hear from a common barn owl in certain situations, and we should note that the bobbing or circular motions of the head, the shape of the head itself, even the claws, can all be explained if an owl was actually the creature they saw. With this in mind, then, we might think the Flatwoods monster case has been put to bed. However, in 2004, researcher Frank C. Fashino Jr. published a book that would later question these explanations. Up next, we'll get Fashino's version of events of what happened at Flatwood and why he questions the official explanations when Weird Darkness returns. Ever had that eerie feeling of being watched?  That is the theme for these carefully selected creepy true stories of the paranormal designed to have you wondering if you too are being watched from the shadows. This all-new collection includes stories about the hat man, black-eyed kids, shadow people, poltergeists, UFOs, the premonitions of a dying man, forest demons, and much more. All absolutely true, all chosen by the master of the paranormal himself, G. Michael Vasey. Watched from the shadows, scary true stories of the paranormal, available now on the audiobooks page at WeirdDarkness.com. That's WeirdDarkness.com The book, The Braxton County Monster, the cover-up on the Flatwoods Monster Revealed by Frank C. Feschino Jr., was the result of over a decade's worth of research, interviews and witnesses, and military personnel alike, as well as accessing government and military files. One of the people he would track down was the reporter who claimed to have discovered the oil marks and markings on the ground, A. Lee Stewart. And the story he gave to Feschino was much different from the one that had become commonplace in most articles and reports in the years since the incident. He would claim to the researcher that he had been grossly misquoted in relation to the Flatwoods Monster case. He would recall that he received a call at around 9 p.m. on the night of the incident from a state trooper who he named as Ted Trebet. After speaking with him, Stewart got in his car and headed to the May Residence to investigate. As he made his way there, he passed a store where a friend worked and stopped briefly to allow him to get in and join him. When they arrived at the May Residence, panic and turmoil was the scene they found. What was already proving to be an extraordinary night was about to get even stranger. Stewart would organize a makeshift search party of around 12 people. Between them they had a 12-gauge shotgun and several handguns. Then they set out to the location of the incident. Although they discovered the markings on the ground and claimed the intense and unpleasant aroma was still present, there was no sign of the creature. They would head back to the May house. After speaking briefly to the witnesses involved, Stewart would then take his friend home and return to his office. He went through his notes before telephoning a friend to ask if he could arrange to borrow a reel-to-reel tape recorder the following day so that he could return to tape record his interviews with the witnesses. With that arranged, he telephoned Olin Berry, his attorney, seeking advice on how best to allow the story into publication. Although it was now well after midnight, Berry would tell him to come to his house and from there they would contact the Charleston Gazette to negotiate such a release. These were far from the only discrepancies. Perhaps the biggest of these was the claim which would come from interviews with witnesses and military documents that the meteors were actually part of four formations of unknown spacecraft, each in a set of four that had entered the air space from the Gulf of Mexico during a military exercise. If that wasn't an outrageous enough claim, the United States military would launch several fighters to engage the unknown aircraft. One of these was seemingly damaged in the exchange and would eventually land in Flatwoods, close to where the group of children were playing. Then the account takes an even stranger and more intriguing twist, at least according to the research of Fashino. Whether the object had an emergency landing or crashed, we might recall one of the witnesses initially expressed they had seen an object sticking out of the ground. It was Fashino's findings that the occupant survived the impact and escaped into the trees in Woodland. Only by pure chance did the group stop right opposite where the marooned creature was hiding out. We might also recall that the witnesses also claimed that the lower portion of the creature appeared to be metallic, or as if it was inside a metal case. This crops up again in a moment. The next sightings of the creature were on the night after in the nearby town of Frametown. It isn't clear whether there were more than one survivor or occupants in the craft, but it is Fashino's suggestion that within 24 hours and using the cover of the Woodland, the creature had made it as far as Frametown. Following its encounter with the Snotowskis, it would appear that it was essentially rescued, as witnessed by the married couple who saw the globe-like object rise into the air and disappear. Further, according to Fashino's research, another craft from the formation that appeared during the military exercise, possibly looking to recover its lost colleague, came down in the town of Wheeling. It is possible that on this occasion the creature was recovered by authorities. It is not known if it was dead or alive, but according to the documents the researcher viewed, a burned woman's corpse was substituted at the site and the wreckage made to resemble something more earthly. The cover story was then released into the press and all efforts successfully diverted attention away from the incident. From there, a discrete effort was put in place to discredit the witnesses. We might recall how they were seemingly lured into wider press coverage only to be mocked and set up as country folk with little perspective for their actual surroundings. It might be easy to dismiss Fashino's findings as nonsense and speculative sensationalism. If that is, it wasn't for the apparent endorsement of widely respected UFO researcher, the late Stanton Friedman. Friedman would write a foreword for the book, in which he would state that the evidence presented by the author points to a conspiracy and a cover-up of a truly outstanding and important event. Perhaps of even more intrigue and even concern is the fact that Fashino has also collected numerous similar accounts of strange fireballs overhead, followed by sightings of strange, monstrous creatures, usually in woodland. He also states that even now, more than a half century later, people remember how the witnesses to the Flatwoods monster incident were treated and almost shunned. Consequently, the vast majority of people don't wish to speak of their encounters, and if they do, it isn't until years later.  And the connections these apparent creatures have to one of the most intriguing alleged alien races on record. If we recall the account of the Snotowskis for a moment, we'll recall that George would claim that the creature had a reptilian head and that the lower body was in some kind of metallic casing. Fashino believes that the creature was likely more snake-like than not, with the metallic casing being a body that allowed it to move around. He would further theorize that the rest of the creature's body was coiled inside the casing. While such theories sound as though they come straight out of the science fiction section of your local DVD marketplace, they are perhaps further intriguing when we discover information the researcher learned from Gray Barker and Ivan T. Sanderson, both of whom would investigate the region on several occasions as part of their own research in the 1950s and 60s. On one occasion, while inspecting the location of a little-known crash site, as well as discovering a huge indentation in the ground, they would also find several strange pieces of a coiled substance. They would have this strange find analyzed, which would result in some strange findings. Perhaps most bizarre, when this substance was placed in water, it would suddenly uncoil. According to the information given to Fashino, the substance was like a giant piece of snake skin, although it was much harder like turtle shell. Is this more evidence of a reptilian extraterrestrial? Does this explain the strange and unpleasant smell which, bizarrely or not, often surfaces in claims of encounters with reptilian creatures? And what about the oily substance discovered at the Flatwood site, as well as that that was apparently squirted onto the clothing of Mrs. May? Perhaps it is worth noting the comments of Mrs. May who would state that the government just tells you what they want you to believe. While it seems then quite apparent that the more rational explanations are indeed credible and almost certainly accurate, we must perhaps resist the temptation to match all such cases to the rational explanation in a blanket way. On this occasion, the explanations offered are not only well backed up but do not leave that many holes to expose. That is certainly not the case with every such case, as we well know. And as we have also discovered, there is most definitely another side to this story. Might it be possible that the United States military and government would spend so much effort in covering up such an incident because it was of such importance? At the time, the government had an active and overt interest in such matters, and while it might seem an unlikely suggestion, it is certainly not that much of a stretch of the imagination to think that such deviousness would take place in order to ridicule and ultimately suppress such an event. Perhaps it is also worth noting the comments of some of the locals to those who have persistently researched the case and consequently the area over the years. Many of them speak of a lingering atmosphere of fear and dread that permeates the area, as well as patches of barren dirt and skimpy vegetation scattered around the woodlands and wilderness, perhaps the result of other similar landings. What is more, there are seemingly many reports of strange, beastly and often supernatural creatures each year. These are rarely seen but often heard. Maybe the region itself is some kind of entry point between the world of these potential reptilian creatures and ours. Perhaps that is why the sightings and strange activity persist. It is perhaps possible that the final chapter in the Flatwoods Monster case might not yet be written. While there might be the tiniest window open for speculation regarding the Flatwoods Monster incident, then at least in terms of what exactly was seen heading out of the sky at great speed, there is still room for debate. The group, understandably already spooked and perhaps hyper-alert given the multiple UFO reports that would have surfaced in the several months leading up to the incident, had gone to investigate just such a landed object and found themselves confronted with this equally bemused owl. Remember, the credibility and genuineness of the witnesses were not at any point in question and in the heat of the moment of such an encounter, it is easy to understand why the brain would put together what it very much believes to be two and two and come up with five. That being said, we have also examined a distinctly different version of events, one that tells a completely different story. This, of course, creates doubt, sufficient enough for other researchers to examine the case with a new mindset. The case remains of interest to UFO enthusiasts and skeptics alike, with the latter often using it as proof that all UFOs are likely the result of similar circumstances and the former looking to it as a demonstration of UFO researcher's ability to lean towards the most likely scenario. It only takes, though, the slightest element of doubt to maintain such interest. Thanks for listening.

Hi, I'm Isidore Angel. I am my writer and translator from Bulgarian. As you can imagine, the Bulgarian is pretty underrepresented in English translation and one of the many things that being a member of ALTA has helped me with is to find a community and to help me feel like the work that I do is being seen and that it does matter. The ALTA conference every year is a big adventure. It's a great time. It's something that we all look forward to seeing each other but also to take part in really great panels and really great sessions. I've taken part in pitch sessions. I've also taken part in readings so I could share work that was forthcoming with a larger audience. And outside of the conference, I think that the work that ALTA is doing towards issues that I think are really important like diversity and minority linguistic representation as well as pay transparency as well as bringing visibility to causes like women in translation I think is something I'm really excited to see how ALTA is able to create some forward movement with. So of course all this important vital work wouldn't be possible without the support of people like you without ALTA members and donors. So this holiday season we ask that you consider making a small donation at the link provided. So thank you very much.


Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came into this world over 1400 years ago and he brought a message from our Creator to complete the prophetic messages. We have to marvel at the miracle of this religion because 1400 years later if one of the Sahaba came here he might be surprised that we're speaking in English but he would see the sunnah of his Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam being implemented in California. He would see coming out which is the sunnah of the Eid prayer coming out to an open space. He would see the ranks, he would see the women where they are and the men where they are and this is the sunnah of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam not in any way to oppress the women but just for the order of the dunya. Alhamdulillah he said the best of the ranks are the first ranks for the men and the best of the ranks are the last ranks for the women. This is the sunnah of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the prayer, the reciter recited with the tajweed that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught to his sahaba. They said when he recited the quran kaniyya mudduh he recited in that way with the mudduh, these elongations because they have an effect on the hearts. This is not the kalam al-basha, the way people talk is different from the way Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wants us to hear his words and that's why they recited the way they are. Alhamdulillah fasting is a great blessing from Allah. Now we know the benefits of what they call intermittent fasting but we didn't need to hear it from the doctors because we got it from our Lord who created our bodies and he knows what's good for our bodies and what's bad for our bodies. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said sumu tasahhu, fast and become healthier. Sumu tasahhu and then he gave us these eids. Al-eid is from a word in Arabic, adha yaudu. It comes back, it's the afterturning and our religion made the eids for each of the five pillars. The eid ad la ilaha illallah Muhammad Rasulullah is every day of your life. It's every day of your life. As long as you're here in this dunya, every day is an eid because you say al-shadu an la ilaha illallah wa shadu Muhammad Rasulullah. He made the eid of your prayer Friday. Every Friday is an eid for your five prayers. He made an eid for zakat when the completion of the year of the wealth comes and you pay your zakat, it's an eid. He made an eid for the hajj. So when you, when they complete the hajj, we all celebrate because a group did the farqifaya anna. They fulfilled that obligation for all of us. So these are the a'iyad of our deen. Their days of rejoice, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said a'iyam wa eid, a'iyam wa dikrin wa shukrin wa akrin wa shorbin. These are days of gratitude and of eating and drinking also. Remembering a lot about eating and drinking. And we have to remember we're living in an age of luxury. Now they're saying, oh, there's going to be food shortages. We waste half the food. According to the UN, half the food produced on this planet is thrown away. So there's no food shortages. There's just ingratitude. And when there's ingratitude, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala constricts the people. If you're grateful, I'll give you more. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has given a likeness of a city and that was Mecca because they had provision from all over. People came from all over to visit Mecca and they brought with them their goods and their services from all over. But when the Prophet came, they rejected him. They showed ingratitude for the blessing of Allah. And so Allah caused them. They went into drought and they actually had food shortages in Mecca after being so filled with the blessings. So this is one of the tragedies of ingratitude. And this is why our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said there's four things that whoever's given these four things is given the good of this world. And then he said alban shakira, a grateful heart, alban shakira, what he said in daikara and a tongue that remembers Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And that emanates from the gratitude of the heart. That's why he began with the grateful heart because everything after that comes from a grateful heart. And a body that's patient with the tribulations, a body that's patient with the tribulations, wa dzawjatan, la tabghihi khawnan fi nafsihi wa la maalihi. And a virtuous spouse, a virtuous spouse. If you have those four, you've been given all of the good of the dunya. In another hadith, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, man asbaha, Oh, come on, whoever wakes up. And I first heard this hadith in Medina. I was just on a prayer rug that said Medina travel. So I like a magic carpet. I felt like going to Medina. I first heard this from Sheikh Mohammed Hadja, the scholar from Syria. I was walking out and I saw him. He looked beautiful, man had a beautiful face. And I walked up to him and I said to him, Salaamu alaykum, I didn't know him. And he gave me his book. He had a book with him that he'd written and they gave me the book. And then he said to me, we're in front of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He said, and then he quoted that hadith. And I memorized it from that day. It's a beautiful hadith. Whoever wakes up healthy in his body, healthy in his body, secure, he feels secure. Like he's not worried about somebody bulldozing his house or dropping a bomb over his head. And he has enough food for that day, not for the year, just for that day. It's as if he has come into the day, having all of the world and what's in it. Subhanallah. It's amazing. So our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave us this guidance. And one of the most, one of the greatest blessings of this religion is this month that we just finished. We were waiting with great expectation for the month and now it's gone. It's as if it was like a blink of an eye. The fasting was facilitated. We didn't feel the hunger. It's amazing. People, the people outside of our faith, what? You're fasting a whole month? How do you do that? They don't know that Allah facilitates these things for us. But this is a month of returning to the Quran. And it's a month to remind us that we should be with the Quran for the whole year. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not, he was the most generous of men. And in Ramadan, he was even more generous. But he was, his practice was constant. His Tahajjud was the same in Ramadan as it was in any other month. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam lived his life as if every day was And in fact, there was an opinion, one of the Andrucian sheikh said, you should expect Layla to the Qadr any night of the year. So this month is a month of returning to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And Ibn Qayma Josiah said, Yusuf alayhi sallam had 11 brothers and they envied him. And they abused him. And yet he forgave them. He said Ramadan is like Sayyidina Yusuf. It's the 12th month and it forgives the other 11 months. This is a great blessing. Allah forgives us for our sins. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, one man he came and he said, Ya Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. I kissed a woman that wasn't, I wasn't married to him. This is called Namam. Don't do it. But the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that if you did, then the verse was revealed that Allah subhanahu alayhi wa sallam forgives the Sayyidat with these actions like fasting and prayer. All these things remove the Saghayr. He said, as long as you don't do a major sin, and if you do a major sin and may Allah forgive anyone, insha'Allah nobody here, you're all good, but there's people that do major sins. Anyone that does a major sin, they have to make toba. The other sins, we should make toba for them, but they're removed by these actions like fasting. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, whoever fasts Ramadan with Iman, they believe in it. They're doing it because they believe in it. And they believe that Allah will reward them for it. He said they will be forgiven their past sins, meaning all of the Namam.  We finished it. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Now this is the day of Thittar. It's called Eid al Thittar. So this is a day of joy. Why? Because we completed 29, some people 30 days of fasting. That's the joy. It's not the food. It's that we completed this act of ibadah. Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in a beautiful hadith, he said, pre-empt with virtuous deeds, seven things. These seven are coming. Faqran munsiyah, a poverty that makes you forget everything else.  This happens to people. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, when that happens, you can't think of anything because that's what faqr is. It puts you in a state of desperation. That's why we're called fukarah with Allah because we're supposed to be desperate with Allah. We need Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So he said, or wealth that makes you forget and you become excessive. Verily man goes to extremes when he feels that he's rich. In other words, he deems himself rich. We're not. We're poor, no matter how much money you have. Ilan masj is faqir and Allah. Dilgayt is faqir and Allah. They're fukarah, but they don't know it because their wealth makes them think that they're independent. But the smallest microbe can come and reduce that human being to nothing. The whole world was seized by COVID. The whole world was seized by COVID. Look at how one microbe that you have to have an electron microscope to even see this thing. And yet it reduced the whole world to a state of anxiety and fear. SubhanAllah. In France, they banned the burqa and Allah made them all wear a burqa. It's amazing. They had to cover their faces. SubhanAllah. Or a disease that disables you. It disables you. He's all of a sudden death because Allah can take us at any time. In many, many books they talk about this. The nature of dunya is like a shadow that will disappear when the sun goes down. It's a temporal thing. We're in a temporal world. So the prophet said, sudden death is coming. Preempt these things. Preempt the sudden death because it's coming. Death will come to people when they're unexpected. Some people are fortunate that they're given time.  But there's other people they don't. It just comes to them suddenly. They drop dead. They have a heart attack. One of the signs of the end of time, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, is sudden death. This is a hadith sahih. Multar fajahid, sudden death. People used to die natural deaths. Now they just drop dead. They're a physician, an athlete in perfect physical condition on the soccer field. And he just drops dead. YouTube's built with videos of these people. A basketball player in perfect physical condition and he just drops dead. Sudden death. None of us knows when the time's come. The Prophet said also phallage, that there would be strokes. He said it's one of the signs of the latter day, strokes. He also said ba'u asiyah was a sign of the latter days, hemorrhoids. Because people have sedentary lifestyles. They no longer get up and walk around. These are all signs of the latter days. And then he said, Oh, it's the job. With the job, or the antichrist, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that one of the signs of the latter days is the antichrist is no longer mentioned. When was the last time you heard any Imam mentioned the job? Ask yourselves, when do they mention the job? And all the signs of the Dajjal are here. The Dajjal is what takes people away. It's materialism. He has one eye. In other words, no depth perception. Everything is two dimensional. He has no depth perception. He fools people. He gives them a jannah that's a na'a. Materialism.  And he gives them a na'a, zuhud, all these things that the Prophet told us to practice. And they say, Oh, what? You're depriving yourself of food for a whole month? Why would you do that?  But for people that experience it, it's a jannah. So this is what the Dajjal does. The antichrist. Why is the antichrist the way of zuhud is the way of isa? Our Prophet was the balanced. He was the most balanced of prophets. So he had zuhud as an option. But people, he also let people enjoy their worldly things, as long as they pay their zakat and fulfill their obligations. Or he said, Oh, a sa'at was sa'at to adha wa amar, or the hour. The hour is coming. And the hour is more bitter and more painful. The hour. And the hour are three, according to the Urmah. There's what's called sa'at to sugharah, which is each one of us has a sa'at, which is the end of our lives. We have telomeres on ourselves that determine how long our cells will last. And people will come to an end. We're like batteries. We don't know where we are. You know, you have these cell phones and they're full battery. Like that's your lifespan. But then one third, two, three, and then it goes on red. Where are you? We don't know. We don't know where we are on the battery. Then it starts blinking. And then it just dies. And this is what Allah has made. This is his sunnah. Tattaba ala ibn Adam al-Mu't. He decreed for us death. And on the Yomu Qiyamah death comes as a ram. Death thou shalt be no more. As the poet said, Yuzbah al-Mu't. Death will be sacrifice on the day of judgment. As a ram, personified as a ram, Yuzbah. Death be not proud. Death comes to an end. People think these things now are fairy tales. Allah warns us about thinking they're the myths of the ancients. These are the things all the prophets brought. They came with the same message. All of them. Show me who didn't talk about a day of judgment. Even Socrates talks about a day of judgment. Even Socrates talks about a day of judgment. Everyone will have a reckoning. There's no free lunch as they say. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah for the blessing of this religion. Every day we have a chance to make Toba. Read in the Quran all of the people that Allah swt condemns. He always finishes those verses with. Except those who make Toba. He says that about the thieves. He says that about the adulterers. He says that about the people that are libelous and slander other people. He says that about the Qut'at-Turuk. About the brigands who armed robbery. He says that he's going to punish them unless they make Toba. So Toba is open to everybody. Whatever your sin is, as the great Mawlana said, come. Keep coming. Just come again. Come back to this religion. Whatever your sin is, just come back. Allah swt is a merciful God. Allah swt is merciful for those who show mercy. He's merciful for those who make Toba. He's merciful for those who repent to him and turn to him. But Allah is Shadid al-Iqab. He is Muntaqim. These are his attributes. He is a merciful God. But he is merciful for those who show mercy. So be amongst those who show mercy to others. Ar-Rahimuna yar-Rahamuhum ar-Rahman. Ir-Rahamuh manfid ar-Rahamkum manfid sam'a. The merciful, those who show mercy, the merciful will show mercy to them. Have mercy on all the people in the earth. And Imam Maddik said, even when you fight a just war, it's out of mercy. It's not a punishment. Malik is unique in saying that. He said, ar-Rahmatum because you're stopping people from accruing more and more sin. So even that is a mercy. The Qisas are a mercy. The Qisas are a mercy. The lex talionis. This is a mercy from Allah swt. There's nothing in this religion to be ashamed of. There's nothing in this religion to be ashamed of. There's nothing for Muslims to feel ashamed about. Our Prophet never said anything that's embarrassing. He never said anything that is embarrassing. Look at his words. It's amazing. And this Quran, this extraordinary book that Allah has given us. Don't let Ramadan, don't wait until the next Ramadan, which you don't know that whether you'll get it or not. Allah swt says in the Quran, Allah swt says, You will see every ummah on the day of judgment bent down, kneeling down, jathiyah. Each one will be called to their book. Today you will be rewarded for what you have done in this dunya. This is our book. It speaks the truth. This book speaks the truth. We are recording everything that you're doing. Everything that you're doing is recorded. He is going to show his signs in the self and on the horizon. What is the horizon? It's the meeting place between the heavens and the earth. What is the self? It's the meeting place between the heavens and the earth. It's the joining of the material and the physical. It's the joining of the angelic and the bestial. He says in this ayah, He will show the signs. Jadid becomes clear to them that what he says is true. Allah says he's recording everything. Now we have all of your lives with these cell phones. You, what these corporations know about you is unbelievable. They know what you bought yesterday in the store. They know the telephone calls you made. They know how much money you made. They know where you, just walking around with this thing. They know where you were all day long.  Wherever you go, there's videos recording every act you do. You go into a store and there's a video. Somebody robbed the store and then they put it up on YouTube and you can see the man robbing the store. Subhanallah. Madukun kifatahkumoon. Who would have thought that every action now is recorded in this day and age? And Allah tells us He's recording everything. It's all recorded. And even the great Imam al-Awzai said on the day of judgment, it's called Yom al-Ard. The day of, when it's revealed, is to show somebody to display something. It's the day of display.   It's all recorded. This is what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says. We were recording everything that you were doing. There's nothing that will be hidden except accept. And this is in the dunya, you have something called Sony Pro cut. This is what, if you, you can buy this and then when you have a recording, you can just make cuts. You edit it. You can take it out. People do this all the time. They edit what they recorded. Our editing system, our Allah pro-cut is toba. If you want to edit your life, make toba. Make toba for those things that you've done that you're ashamed of. Ask Allah for forgiveness. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will forgive you. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Quran, He says, You will see on that day the believers, these are the believers. Men and women, and this is the only book from the world religions that has men and women. You show me any other book in which men and women are put on equal status, other than the book of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Show me any book, the Hindu scriptures, the Buddhist scriptures, the Jewish scriptures, the Christian scriptures, show me where it says believing men and believing women in so many verses. You have good news on this day. You will have rivers, gardens under which rivers flow. That is the great reward. The hypocrites, what would they say? Give us some of your light because on the Yom Kiyama, what did the Prophet say about people that go in the dark to the masjid at Fajr and at Isha, the two difficult prayers on the monad. He said, Give them good news that they will have complete light on the day of judgment, complete light on the day of judgment. Because on the day of judgment, there are people in darkness and there are people in light and the light will guide them, it will guide them to the Siraat, it will guide them on the Siraat, it will take them into paradise.  And what do the believers say? Allah SWT says The Bab has Rahmah from one side. It has Rahmah and then it has Adab.  What is the believer, what do they say? They say This is what they tell the monad yaqum, they tell them five things. You put yourselves in fitnah, you put yourselves in fitnah.  I called you and you answered, don't blame me, blame yourselves. The fitnah is not from outside, it's from inside. When they said laat of tina Ya Rasulullah, oh I can't go to the Byzantines because those blonde haired women, they're a fitnah for me. That's what one of the monad yaqum said to the prophet when he asked, please don't give me fitnah, I can't take those blonde haired women. And Allah says, didn't he fall into fitnah? A fitnah fi nafsika. When I was making tawaf, one of them are tawa, they're gone now because they got these guys. But I was making tawaf with my wife and for us, the sunnah is no niqab, the monakies, no niqab. And this man, he started screaming at my wife, ghaqi wa tshak, ghaqi wa tshak, aunti fitnah. And she's like, she got really scared, she said, what he said, he said you're poof. And then I said, and fitnah fi qalbi kayaqi, punen mubini uttum nafsariya. Tell the believing men to lower their eyes. I said, the fitnah is in your own hearts. These people alone, fitnah tum nafsika. And you're waiting for problems. That's one interpretation, tarabbasah is a beautiful word, tarabbasah, they wait for calamities to happen or tarabbasah for us. They wait for opportunities. They sit around waiting. These are the hypocrites. I'll make tawba later on. I'll make tawba. Next year, I'll do the tahajjud. This year, I won't do. Next year, I'll do the taraweeh. This year, I won't do it. They just wait. Wartatum. And you had doubts in your hearts. You had doubts in your hearts. Wa kharratkum ala mani. And all your vain hopes, all your vain hopes, all these vain hopes.  Do what thou willed. And then he just had vain hopes. One of the signs at the end of time, he said the believers would say, oh, Allah is going to forgive us. What guarantee do you have? What guarantee do you have? If you're upright, burshara lakum. But if you're not upright, you should be aware because this is the Quran. Make tawba. So this is what Allah says. And then he says, wa gharrakum bil lahir gharoor. The gharoor is shaitan, nafs, hawaa, dunya. These are the gharoor. One of them, he said that he, that obtilina, the arba'in tarmini, four things they strike me, four things. The nubli, ankhawsin, the tawtiiri, it's their arrows that come from a strong bow and they hit me. Iblisu, wa dunya, wa nafsi, wa warah. Ya Rabbi, alal khalas ya qadiru. This iblis, dunya, this world, your own ego, and other people. These are the tribulations of life, alhamdulillah. So may Allah bless this fast, may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make you people of tawba, make us all people of tawba. We need tawba. And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, insha'Allah, make you people of the Qur'an. The Prophet ﷺ gave us this book and he complained about it. He said, my people have left this book and then Allah says that like that he makes enemies. So if you abandon the book of Allah, you're an enemy of our Prophet ﷺ. We have to study the book. Majtama akhumun fi baitinu dhutil lahi, yatsiruna kitabu Allahi wa yatidah rasunuhu baynahum illa sakana ta'reem al-malayka wa ghashiyatuhum al-rahma wa ghashiyatuhum al-rahma wa haffatuhum al-malayka wa dhakrub al-azheem al-unduhu. That if you read this book of Allah, if you study it with one another, you have groups that come together to read the book, to think about it, to study it, he said you will get sakina from Allah. Allah has given us a beautiful day now. It was a little cold at the beginning. We are going through, as a species, big problems on this planet. You know, we have a country that has nuclear weapons threatening to use them. Nobody has really been thinking about this, but it's a very real possibility. We are now in a state of inflation with people who know about economics. Just look at what they call the PPI, the producer's price index, not the CPI. That's what they tell you in Time Magazine, but look at the PPI. Things are 150, 200% inflation now for producers of products. This is all what Allah calls bank maisha bankah, constricted life. It's from ingratitude. That's the only cause of it. It's just ingratitude. People today are, they're just ungrateful. We've had a cornucopia of goods. Everything just come, you go to the store, it's all there. Now they have all these delays, all these difficulties. Everybody's talking about, oh, the supply chain. Yeah, well, welcome to ingratitude. Everybody complains. It's amazing. I'm even complaining about the people who complain. It's just a, we're on a planet of winers. It's just amazing. We need to stop whining and just really feel gratitude, just gratitude for being alive. Ibn Atayla, the great master from Egypt, the faqee, maaliki faqee, and the great mystic, he said, ni'matani, ni'matani, no, two blessings. No believer is without that. What I would that he couldn't even go in, minhumah, and no creative thing, and every creative thing is in desperate need of them. Ni'matani, when ni'matani in dads, the blessing of being itself, of existing, just to exist, to participate in existence is one, this is such a blessing to be alive, to be alive. There's a man who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge. He was depressed, and he decided he was going to kill himself. So he went to the Golden Gate Bridge. He said if anybody asks him how he's doing sincerely, he said he wouldn't do it. He got to the end of the line on the bus. He's crying, and the bus driver says, hey buddy, this is it. You got to get off. He didn't say, are you okay? Like the guy's literally crying. He didn't say, are you okay? He said you got to get off. So he said that's it. So he walks, he goes to the Golden Gate Bridge, and he takes the jump. He's one of the rare survivors of that bridge. Before they put those nets up, about 350 people jumped off of it every year. Many, many people lost their life. He survived the jump because he broke all these bones in his body because like he didn't cement, but he survived.  He couldn't swim because his bones were all broken. A seal came and held him up. And when the lifeguard got there, they said, brother, you have no idea how lucky you are because they're always taking people out who are dead. They couldn't believe he survived. You know what he said? The moment he jumped, the first thought that came into his mind, this is a mistake. And I guarantee you every human being that has ever committed suicide, as the blood was leaving his body, if he slid his throat, as the bullet was penetrating his brain, if he pulled the trigger, that was his thought. This is a mistake. And the man who knew that best was just the FC, because he was put in front of a firing squad. And right before they pulled the trigger, they said, ready, aim. The czar played a trick on these revolutionaries. And the man came and said, no, no, no, stop. They've been pardoned. They're only sentenced to a gulah in Siberia. But this year, he said at that moment, he realized, I want to live because of the gift of existence. No matter how difficult it is, no matter how hard it is, no matter how depressed you are, depression is one of the katharats. Imam al-Bazadi said, there are sins in this world. Nothing will remove them except depression. No matter how difficult your life is, be grateful for the gift of existence.  This is a great gift.  Honor them. Honor your face. The air is called ma al-wajj. Don't expend the water of your face in sinfulness. Adorn it with gratitude and with righteous acts.  Allah will make it beautiful and He'll make people attracted to it because of your obedience to Him. And then Nehru took in death, the blessing of in death, that Allah sustains us, that He gives us our food and our sustenance and clothes and He gives us the blessings of our families.

Musicians are better able to integrate visual and auditory information compared to non-musicians, as demonstrated by their greater accuracy in a decision reaction time task. However, this advantage does not extend to reaction times, suggesting that there may be a difference between implicit and explicit processing. Furthermore, this advantage extends beyond simple rule-based congruencies, indicating that musicians may possess enhanced abilities in multisensory integration.

All this month get any smartphone 32gigand under for a 50% off regular price at Appalachian Wireless. Better service, bigger savings, that's today's Appalachian Wireless. While supplies last, two-year agreement required. February 1st is recognized in the sports world as National Signing Day. It's the first day in which student athletes on the high school level can formally make a written commitment to the College of their choice and receive a scholarship to continue their athletic careers while furthering their education. As we go around the region to local schools to check out these student athletes signed the dotted line, we head to Belfry first where five athletes are rewarded for their efforts helping lead the Pirates to four consecutive state championships. I was just a dream come true for me, something I've always wanted to do, you know, growing up here in Belfry, you live, you live, eat and breathe football around here.  I really feel like Belfry is kind of like a college prep school really because I feel like all the stuff I've learned here is just going to help me have a smooth transition into college and it's going to make them easier than a lot of people that didn't play at a school like Belfry. But I'm enriched and I feel like I'm at home and I think it's the best place for me where I can be successful at. Crazy, it's an unbelievable feeling because not too many people, I think it's like 3% of all high school athletes get to go get a full scholarship to play Division 1 football and I think even less is to play Division 1 football but it's really a blessing to be in this position. It's a great feeling honestly and but the thing about winning four state championships in high school is when you get to college you've got to start over. Those state championships don't mean anything. So you might as well, you might as well not have any rings really because you've got to earn them back. I strive to be the one of the first ones, you know, in the weight room and one of the first ones, one of the last ones out and I really want to, you know, prove what I'm about at the college level. I think every college program wants to win and what does having a winning background that can help carry that winning success over to EKU. It's not about me and you know, like coach says, it's not about us. It's just about leadership and carrying your work ethic throughout life, not only on the field but in the classroom too. Growing up as a kid, this is one thing I wanted to do is take my game to the next level and not only play in high school but play in college. So it feels good knowing I got the chance to. Well, I hope to bring the championship mentality to Cumberland and I know there's some other commits that were state champions. So that's our main goal is to go in with the championship mentality, work hard and hopefully bring the winning mindset to the team. Turning our attention to Kent Phelps at Painesville High School, a kid who made his decision prior to the 2016 football season and kept his promise as he signed with Wofford College today out of South Carolina. It's a great feeling. I mean, ever since I was in about second or third grade, that's what I wanted to do. And it's just awesome being able to achieve my goal and be able to play. I fell in love with Wofford when I first went down there. The campus is beautiful, the academics are top notch and the coaches are great and they always have been to me. I think I'm going to be able to bring a lot to them. I mean, people overlook Eastern Kentucky quite a bit at the next level and I just feel like we're just as good around here than everybody else is in the whole state or nation. I just feel like I'm going to be able to go down there and contribute quite a bit. Clay Sloan decided he would suit up with the Tigers next season as he plans on heading to Georgetown in the fall to join his fellow teammates who helped lead the Panthers to their first football championship in over 20 years back in 2015. It's probably not a lot, it's just something that you'll remember forever. And it's kind of disappointing we came through an end, but I'm excited about what lots ahead. You know, I'm a proven winner. We brought a state championship here just as guys. We like to compete, we like to win, so I think I would like to bring it every day to try and win some games. Head Coach Al Holland Jr. and his coaching staff at UPIKE brought in a talented class of 41 student athletes to the Hoot facility today as each signed their letter of intent to join the Bears. UPIKE is coming off their best season in quite some time after they defeated Georgetown in the final game of the season to win their share of the Mid-South Conference East Championship. But as this time changes, and as you sign your letter of intent, this decision you make for the next four to five years is going to be high as it's going to be low, but we're going to stick together and stick it in. We've now turned the corner to win the Conference Championship. The day in and day out you've got to put the work in. This is a great opportunity for me. As many people know, my mother and my father, they didn't go to college in the first generation. It's something special for me to come up here and do something for myself and make a future for myself. It's a privilege to play at home. It's something I've always looked forward to and something I've always wanted to do. Just hard work here. I lay it all on the line. I try my best at everything and that's all I can ask for. I'm very excited about that. I've always grown up watching U-Pak football around here and I've always loved it and just very excited to be at home and doing what I love. That was a big part of my decision being close to home. I feel like it's a whole other level, but I feel like I'm ready for it. I feel like I can bring all I've got, what I have at Johnson Central and Plussmore, keep putting in work and get to be where I want to be at. I'm very excited. I'm excited because I'm coming into a program that just came off the Mid-South Conference Co-Champion. I think they're really doing something exciting here. I'm just glad to be home and be where I only have to go far away from my own house and play for somebody that's going to be as prestigious as we could be. I'm excited. Just see what happens next. I mean, the next chapter. This is my, last season was my first season ever playing corner, so I learned a lot and I'm like a sponge right now. I'm just ready to come and absorb everything I can. Just nervous about, you know, just going to college and being away from home, but I'm excited to get here and play at the next level. For a full list of athletes around our region signing the dotted line today, check out our website at ekbsports.com. Reporting for EKB Sports, I'm Makayla Colley.


What's up guys, my name is Michael and welcome to my YouTube channel today We are going to go over this problem called get value get no value from Get no value. Okay. So basically we have a link list and we have a position from the tail right and From this tail we want to get the The number at the desired position. So here we have three two one zero and now we want to get the number at Three two one zero. We want to get the position from the tail. So in this case, we have three two one zero If I get the position of two from the tail, it would be Zero one two So the value two is at the desired position two here. So zero one two. So we're starting the cow backwards is at Position zero then one and two then three Okay, so I'm gonna use it. I did I solved this problem differently than how other people solved it So I'll show you guys what I did recursively So I actually create a helper method and passed by Reference for this integer position from tail because I wanted to modify this But basically I had three. Let's say we have three and two and one And this goes in all Right, so I what I did was I recursively called and Kept going to the next node. So three and two then one then null Once I was here The stack trace is gonna go back right the stack trace whenever you recursively call a function It goes back to the previous thing. So what I did was every time I went back by one I'm gonna subtract one from the position from back position From So we're given like this funk in this method position from tail, right? So every time I jump back. I just subtracted one every time after the recursive call and then So like if we had like, I don't know three two one null, right? Then after this recursive call it jumps back. I'm gonna subtract one from position from back Right, so let's say I was at like, let's say I wanted a position two right here three right position two so Position two started from two. So I Keep going to the right and When I get back to here when the stock call gets traced back. I subtract one. So then this is gonna be at one And I subtract one by one again. So it'll be at zero Wait, no first first. It's an all right. I Subtract for two minus one will be Which is one so when it returns back, I'm gonna have two minus one. So I'll have one then when the stack trace goes back we'll have one minus one we gets to zero and then Yeah, and then Wait, I think I think it's like When the null goes back to two one and then after this point, I Think it goes back and then we have two minus one minus one Well, which we get to zero and then we just returned this to Okay, so like for me, I did like less than zero, but After the recursive call goes back and go something like that. Okay, so I'll show you guys what the code I mean Okay, so So you have get node I had a helper function that has the exact same method signature except I have Pass by reference because I want to modify this position from tail number integer Because if I don't have this what happens is that like it would It would It wouldn't get changed a position from tail Position that I pass it over and over again. I wouldn't get changed. So that's why I have I pass it by reference Here's what I do if the list is not equal to null pointer I'm going to recursively call this method and keep going next over and over again Right. Keep going next keep going next keep going next. All right Once I reach null pointer, I'm gonna return zero. Okay, so if I've reached a null pointer where I reached and I'm gonna return zero Okay, if my return value is not is not equal to zero then I just return it whatever return value I had But um, yeah, otherwise what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna subtract one from the position from the tail So if I'm at like, I don't know if I'm all the way on the back, right? I'm gonna subtract one from position tails. So we'll be one and then yeah then if it's less than zero if my position from tail is less than zero that means I'm at the The actual node that the node data that I want to return, right? So at this point I return the list's data Okay But if it's not then it'll go back up to the top and recursively call And I'm just gonna keep tracking one from position from tail and then yeah if it is if it is less than equal less than zero then I return the data and then it goes back to this return function and If it's not equal to zero either my return value is equal to zero. I'm just gonna return Returned. Okay. So yeah, I just returned that number again. So yeah That's basically just the month this Function call I have passed in help also and I pass in position and I pass in the list. So yeah But yeah, that's the gist of how I did this function call. You don't have to do it the way I did Basically, I'm just going next next next and then every time I go backwards from the stack I just subtract one from the position of the back Until I reach to the node that I want to get and then at that point I just return it But yeah, I hope you guys know this video right come subscribe. I'll check you guys later. Peace
