Field Notes From The Unknown: Hello, I'm Casey. And I'm Mackenzie. And this is Field Notes from the Unknown, a podcast about your favorite local cryptid. casey: Good morning. How are you? Mackenzie Hrubey: Alright. Good morning, Sunshine. I'm good. I'm a little chilly. I have the window cracked for the orange boy. it's freezing outside. casey: It is so nice outside. But it is also global warming's a thing because it was hot the other day and I don't like it. Mackenzie Hrubey: Yes. And here's a blanket just to help a little bit. Yeah, the back and forth of this time of year is always kind of insane, right? Like the eighty degree days. casey: It's always Mackenzie Hrubey: And then we freeze warning. It's a lot. casey: Yeah, it kinda scares me a little bit, but you know. So Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. casey: would you like to hear a story today? Mackenzie Hrubey: I would love to hear a story from my favorite cryptid creature. wait, pause. Can we just casey: Okay. I'm gonna set C, yeah? Mackenzie Hrubey: have a moment for your beautiful hair? Because look at the color variation and the stripes. my god. Did your sister do that? she did such a good job. Yeah, yeah. casey: Yeah. Yeah. She did. Thanks. She does a good job. so we're gonna set the scene. It's nineteen twenty five and if my hair was this color, I'd probably be a witch. Mackenzie Hrubey: Okay, I'm ready. Spook me. Probably. Can we be in flapper dresses? alright. casey: Yeah, yes. So it's nineteen twenty five, you're outside just kind of having a nice little picnic, all right? And then Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. casey: all of a sudden you look into the sky and you see something. And you're like, Is it a plane? Is it a a blimp? What possibly is that? But you notice it has tentacles coming down. So how could it possibly be a blimp? It's not a blimp. It is a giant space clam or also known as a glider. Mackenzie Hrubey: What? The horror? casey: I know, right? Isn't that great? Mackenzie Hrubey: That's spooky. casey: Gliders are living UFO sighting. And the bizarre sighting that I'm going to tell you about happened on Battle Mountain in Nevada in 1925. Mackenzie Hrubey: God, weird shit happened in Nevada. Yeah. casey: Right? Nevada's So pilot Dan Wood junior witnessed this glider. But kept silence silent for thirty four years due to the fear of being ridiculed, which we have seen numerous times. Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. People are always afraid to to come forward with reports. Yeah. casey: Right. So it wasn't until nineteen fifty-nine that he actually talked about his experience and wrote a letter talking about the flying saucers that he saw. So woods was flying. A set of Curtis J and Fours. So I'm it yeah, it's a kind of aircraft, also known as Jennies, Mackenzie Hrubey: Okay, is that a kind of aircraft? Okay. casey: with three other men over the desert when the men decided to touch down and explore the landscape. Shortly into their explorer, they know noticed the gliders or giant space clams above. Mackenzie Hrubey: Were there multiple space clams? casey: Yes. Mackenzie Hrubey: Whoa! casey: a round flat saucer about eight feet long and half a foot wide. With like a clam opening. Mackenzie Hrubey: That's so weird. casey: Right? Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. casey: So the space clams have a red underbelly. And kind of like an almost clear color. Mackenzie Hrubey: That's so weird. casey: Like it's almost translucent translucent. Mackenzie Hrubey: And so they are out in the desert, they see a bunch of these weird freaking space clams. Super thin, it sounds like, and then long, and then red underside, and then kind of clear. But they got tentacles? casey: Yes. That they can of a tr like it tr attract attract retract back up into them. Mackenzie Hrubey: I hate it. casey: Woods wrote that it seemed like the creature was hurt. So this one creature that they saw this time that it wa he was oozing it was oozing a metallic looking substance. And it could see that the creature the whole thing was breathing because it could see the top like rise and fall. Right? Like it Mackenzie Hrubey: my god. Yeah. casey: was breathing in and out. And where it was oozing from, it looked like it had been bitten. Mackenzie Hrubey: What the hell bites a space clam? casey: Right? Isn't that nuts? That's what I thought. So Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. casey: they're staring at us for like twenty minutes. Into this bizarre sighting, Wood Woods claims that the clam began to pulsate and glow extremely bright. And that seemed to grab the attention of a much larger clam. That was thirty feet long. Mackenzie Hrubey: my god. casey: Appearing to be possibly the mother of the smaller one that was bitten. Mackenzie Hrubey: This is like a weird psychedelic like nightmare dream. But again, casey: Right. Mackenzie Hrubey: multiple people saw this. casey: Right? Yeah, multiple people saw this. Mackenzie Hrubey: And they're they're alive. The creatures are alive and apparently birthing. casey: There yes, there are they are alive beings. It's not like it's not Mackenzie Hrubey: If if a space plan casey: like a alien UFO spaceship. This whole thing is alive. Mackenzie Hrubey: From once from from whence does a mama space clam give birth to a baby space clam? casey: I don't know. But since they're like translucent Mackenzie Hrubey: Okay. casey: translucent, we could like there could be a space clam out in the sky right now, but I can't see it. Right? Isn't that fucking creepy? I love it. So Mackenzie Hrubey: I hate it. casey: once the mama comes over, she hovers over the smaller one and down go the tentacle like suckers. that pick the smaller one up and then they take off into the air. Mackenzie Hrubey: My god. casey: Right? Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. casey: She's just there to get her baby. Mackenzie Hrubey: That's crazy. casey: Isn't it? Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. casey: The thought that the UFOs could be living things and not just vessels like cars has been proposed by several paranormal researchers. Many believers of this theory look at how these objects appear to dance around and chase each other in a manner of animals playing. So I like when the lights dance around. Is it Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. casey: actually a light? Or could it also be a ropin? Mackenzie Hrubey: It could be a ropen, yeah. Or a a weird glowing thunderbird. casey: It could be a rope or a space clamp. Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah, that is fucking wild. We have had a series now of flying creatures. casey: We ha yes. Others mentioned that they give the appearance of a star jelly, like a jellyfish. Or a strange organic Mackenzie Hrubey: Okay. casey: slime spilling Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. casey: falling from the sky. So like if I forget where it was, There was a there was a place where like or maybe it was a movie. I'm pretty sure it was an actual event that happened. Where like this town noticed all this slime around. Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. casey: Maybe it was a movie. There is a movie about that. But I might just Yeah Yes. Mackenzie Hrubey: No no no, I remember you're talking about yeah, it was on the West Coast. It was either Oregon or Washington and they had a bunch of and s people decided it was like a meteorological phenomena, but the something about the slime was weird. Like people tested casey: Yes. Mackenzie Hrubey: it and it had like organic matter in it. Like cells. casey: So could that be something that the giant sky k sky clam had produced? Mackenzie Hrubey: Maybe maybe if we can't see him, how we know? casey: Many people say, many people say that it's not. It's just verb bur bird vomit, slime mold, or colonies of right. Colonies of noscotic bacteria. And it's like, I don't know, that neither Mackenzie Hrubey: Okay. casey: of those make me feel better. None of those Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah, it's all bad. casey: make you feel better. It's all bad. Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. This also reminds me of a UAP sighting from the military. I think it was a base in Afghanistan, but fact check me on that. And they saw a UAP, but the UAP was almost like a jellyfish with tentacles coming down. And it was darting around this military base and they caught it on CC TV camera. casey: I wonder if I can find that on the interweb. Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. casey: So author Trevor James constable thinks something completely different actually. He thinks that this is an amoeba like organism that is normally invisible to the human eye. Eyewitnesses have mentioned that they see what appears to be like a flying manta ray alm almost. Which I can kinda get, like clams manna rays a little bit off, but in the sky that is pretty much translucent translucent with large fin like wings with no visible head or tail. So I can see how some people could be like, that's a that's a clam. But regardless, Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. casey: there's something invisible in the sky that if you look Mackenzie Hrubey: That's alive. casey: real close might be able to see it. Mackenzie Hrubey: Crazy. So happy Halloween. there are base clams out there watching you and giving birth. casey: So happy Halloween. Yeah, yay. so yeah, everyone. Mackenzie Hrubey: And apparently puking up weird like jelly guts and like raining downtown. casey: Yeah. Maybe don't eat the jelly. I don't know. Or eat the jelly. What? Mackenzie Hrubey: Were the guys that saw it scared? Yeah. No, no, no. Don't eat the jelly. No. No. casey: You can eat the jelly. Eat it. Mackenzie Hrubey: Hard no. casey: Yeah. So what do you think of gliders, aka giant space space clams? Mackenzie Hrubey: I am alarmed but intrigued and I would like to see and poke the jelly and I wonder if you'd be scared looking casey: Same. Mackenzie Hrubey: at it. but let's see, balutability scale one to five. I'm gonna put the space clams at Three and a half today. casey: Okay. All right. I was gonna give it a three also. Mackenzie Hrubey: Three and a half. Three and a half. Okay. I don't have another logical explanation for what people are seeing. this is why I feel three and a half is appropriate. casey: Yeah, I feel three and a half because one, there are not a lot of sightings, obviously because it's translucent and you know, all of that, but I will say the camouflage is top tier. Amazing. And maybe when people get too worried that well not worried, but like they're like, they don't exist, it just throws up all this jelly on you. It's like we're still here. Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. casey: Yeah, so I give it a three. But I love it. And in fact, if one wanted to come down and tick pick me up with its little tongue-leg suckers, I'd probably be okay. And do Mackenzie Hrubey: As long as it casey: you think do you think because I couldn't find anything on this, that if it would eat a human, could you see the human then flying in the sky? And it's just like that person's just floating there? But in fact, the person is actually in the belly of a sky clam. Mackenzie Hrubey: I feel like you would not see it 'cause I feel like it's like a mirage and an illusion in front of the creature that like causes us not to see it. casey: Mm. Yeah, that could be. Mackenzie Hrubey: But I don't know. casey: I don't know. But it's different. But Mackenzie Hrubey: I don't think I wanna see like a half eaten person inside of the belly of a translucent sky clam. casey: It is what it is, you know, I'm fine. Mackenzie Hrubey: Ha ha ha casey: It is what it is. Obviously you did something. Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. Wow, that is a wild story. I have never heard of that before. Yeah. casey: Right. I really like it. They're also in the book the United States of Cryptid that we were gifted by our cryptid in law. yeah. But that is all I have for you guys today. yeah, let me know. Have you seen a giant sky clam? Something weird? Like you're like, that's not a cloud, that's a clam. Mackenzie Hrubey: In the skies. Yeah.
