Something Planet

This week on Mysteriousnesses, your dynamic duo of doom-digging detectives — John J Murray and Eric Readinger — dive headfirst into the weirdest pile of mysteries the universe could throw at two underprepared podcasters. We kick things off with Comet 3I/ATLAS, the interstellar space rock that’s breezing past our solar system like it’s late for a date. Is it a comet? A cosmic relic? A UFO with a bad skincare routine? We don’t know — but that won’t stop us from talking about it confidently. Then we unpack the government cover-ups, alien disclosure theories, and whether or not the universe is just messing with us on purpose. (It is.)From there, John recounts a ghost tour in Savannah, Georgia — which is basically the Disneyland of hauntings — while Eric explains why he’s no longer allowed to ask tour guides “provocative questions” about colonial ghosts with unfinished business.Next: The Giant of Afghanistan. A real legend, a real mystery, and a real good reason not to hike in remote mountain caves without snacks.
