Strange Realm - Ep. 105 - March 30th, 2025

Tonight, we bring you a mind-bending and gravity-defying episode as we look at the weirdest and wildest stories we could find this week, including a new exotic engine that seems to produce thrust without propellant, a resurfaced CIA report that remote viewed the Ark of the Covenant, a possible new weight-loss drug discovered with the help of AI, and we look at a new and horrifying wasp that was discovered that lived 99 million years ago. All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.
