  1. Dr. Avi Loeb is theoretical physicist who works on astrophysics and cosmology and lectures at Harvard. He made headlines a few years back after theorizing that Omamuha, the first identified object to have come from outside the solar system, could have been an alien probe. Another interstellar object was identified and it crashed into the ocean. Due to the speed the object was traveling (faster than known objects with the solar system) it probably came from outside the solar system. Dr. Loeb and a few dozen other researchers raised funding in order to sail to the location of the object and retrieve pieces of it from the ocean floor. For the past couple of weeks Dr. Loeb has been at sea near Papua New Guinea. Their deep sea rover has been picking up a number of metallic objects near the impact site that they hope may have come from the interstellar object. The first link is to an interview Dr. Loeb gave from the deck of the exploration ship. The podcast is Event Horizon that discusses many scientific subjects pertaining to outer space. The second link is to Dr. Loeb's diary where he has been recording an extensive account of his research efforts. I haven't read all the entries yet but there appear to be dozens. The pertinent diary entries begin on June 13th, 2023. https://avi-loeb.medium.com/ This is an exciting endeavor and I wish Dr. Loeb and the other researchers all the luck in the work. Even if the object does not prove to be a creation of an alien intelligence it will still be of immense scientific value if they manage to get fragments of an interstellar object. Good luck and happy voyage, Dr. Loeb!
  2. Clearly, the passengers on the submersible were notorious critics of the the Federal Reserve. The Titantic itself was sunk by the Illuminati for just this reason and also to seal up one of the entrances to Agartha and the Inner Earth with the wreackage of the ocean liner.
  3. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/20/us/oceangate-titanic-missing-submersible.html I am posting this article because it includes a link to a pdf of a letter from the Martine Technology Society to the CEO of Oceangate warning him of potential catastrophe. A disturbing excert from the letter.
  4. Court documents reveal a former OceanGate employee had several safety complaints over the tourist submersible—and then he was fired. https://newrepublic.com/post/173802/missing-titanic-sub-faced-lawsuit-depths-safely-travel-oceangate
  5. This is a youtuber called Sub Brief. He served aboard a U.S. navy submarine for a number of years before retiring. His channel mostly does military news relating to the navy but because of the nature of this disaster he has done a video where he outlines a number of red flags he has seen after examining the information about this submersible craft.
  6. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12213437/The-claustrophobic-conditions-inside-missing-Titanic-vessel.html This article contains a number of pictures and diagrams showing the interior of the submersible. Apart from the single toilet there aren't even any seats. No standing room. Five people trapped in there. No way to even lay down. Imagine the muscle cramping that must occur after barely being able to move around. If the craft is still intact, do they even have any power? Imagine being stuck in there and being in total darkness.
  7. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/06/19/us/titanic-missing-sub-tourist-tour Pilot plus 4 tourist have gone missing after all contact with their deep sea submersible was suddenly lost. Frantic search and rescue efforts are underway. Assuming the luckless people were not killed instantly from a catastrophic implosion then the craft has only around 90s hours of survivable air. All contact with the craft was cut off when it had reached a depth of approximately 13,000 feet.
  8. I imagine that they could transport them on a big raft behind the main boat. Just like how they transported King Kong and the Statue of Liberty to New York.
  9. I wasn't impressed by what Amazon did with their show. Instead of complaining about it I'll just leave this link to something based on Tolkein's work which I found to be very well done.
  10. Submitted for your approval, "The Sealed Book," was an old time radio show that purported to to tell tales of terror and suspense. I am recommending this for people who are interested in horror but who don't want to be scared. This old show is the equivalent of extra mild salsa (simple tomato paste) for people who don't like spicy food. The surprise or twist endings on these can be seen a mile away. I would be surprised if the tropes featured in the Sealed Book weren't old even in the times of Gilgamesh. Still, it is comfy to listen to and occasionally chuckle at. If you have a fireplace, pile up some wood and get a hot beverage and you can't go wrong with the Sealed Book.
  11. Submitted for your approval, "One Who Saw," by A.M. Burrage. An unlucky writer is bewitched by the specter of a weeping woman.
  12. Submitted for your approval, "The Upper Berth," by F. Marion Crawford. I first read this story when I was very young in an anthology whose name completely escapes me. The story was disturbing enough to have stuck with me all these years.
  13. Submitted for your approval, "The Voice in the Night" by William Hope Hodgson. William Hope Hodgson died tragically in the First World War at a relatively young age. His stories and his approach to horror were decades ahead of his time. "The Voice in the Night," was loosely adapted into a movie under the improbable name of "Attack of the Mushroom People." Though absurdly named the movie managed to capture the dark, moody feeling of despair of the original short story.
  14. Submitted for your approval, "The Thing on the Fourbleboard." This is, hands down, one of the all time classic horror radio plays. To my knowledge it has never been remade into a movie. This is as astonishing as it is saddening. No doubt many horror fans have no idea that this story even exists and are much poorer for it.
  15. Horror has always been my favorite genre, whether in books, films, comics or video games. Since the decline of radio, audio horror has often been neglected, which is a shame since you can often find truly chilling stories. In this thread I will be be posting links to some of my favorites. In this thread you will find radio play/dramas, narrations from public domain horror books, and perhaps well done Creepy Pastas or similar. This thread is the equivalent of ghost stories told around a campfire on a dark night. When you read this thread, think of this scene from John Capenter's "The Fog," From time to time I will add new entries when I stumble across something interesting. Please feel free to add your own recommendations.
