My grandma would sometimes pretend that an alien "overtook" her body to freak me out, I'd be like "Grandma?" And she'd be like, "I'm not grandma. I'm an alien named zuzu inside of your grandma's body" She was just doing it because she thought it was funny, but it scared the absolute poop out of me. 😂

My husband has a friend that has recently claimed to have had contact with aliens. I think he was up for days drinking, doing A LOT of drugs and was hallucinating but whatever. Allegedly he even paid to have a lie detector test done but I’m pretty sure he just found a shady Craigslist ad and was just told what he wanted to hear. Gotta love random Midwestern alien tales.

Alien Abductions: When your sleep paralysis demons look like the aliens in that movie you watched a few hours before.

Kaz: A lot of these modern behaviors we see on social media are actually pretty old and they have historical context The internet: shocked pikachu face

This is one of those rare yt channels where every video is top-notch. Edit: Your cat and I share a name.

In addition to the things you said, I was always under the impression that Alien Abduction stories were a kind of modern development of medieval Fae Abduction stories. Like reading Sir Orfeo and the Mabinogi and hearing Changeling stories growing up, the presence of otherworld journeys with the exact same "missing time" phenomenon and weird physical markings always reminded me of aliens. Obvi there's more going into these stories than just that tho, if there even is a connection.

I am pretending to be shocked that racism is present in alien conspiracies and stories.

17:26 Clarification: “A Trip to The Moon” (“Le Voyage Dans La Lune”) was inspired by two Jules Verne books but was made by Georges Méliès. He wrote, produced, directed, and even starred in it!

Whenever someone points to historical paintings as evidence for something, i love to pull out the snail fighting a knight or a cat steal a male member cause sir what is that explaining extremely literally

the tiktok community thing ROCKED ME because one caption mentioned "humans are space orcs" which was a hugely popular trope of tumblr fiction in the late 2010s. Theyre actually really fun stories that developed an entire canon, with some reoccurring characters and concepts. I'm guessing the tiktok comm is a warped extension of it? because absolutely no one thought it was real and the fucking 'indomitable human spirit' was not a thing lmao

When I was a young child in the late 80s/ early 90s my mother was obsessed with aliens and alien abduction stories. She was convinced that she had been abducted as a teenager, but she had never mentioned it before she started watching those shows and reading books about aliens. She watched those shows so often that I developed a deep fear of aliens. There was a field behind our house and my bed was directly under a window facing it. Every night I was terrified that aliens were going to land in that field and come to my window. I had to lay with my back to the window so I didn’t accidentally look at it and see the alien faces. My mother seemed to think it was an honor to be abducted, but I was utterly terrified of it. It was so very real to me and it didn’t stop feeling real until I went to live with my dad when I was 13-ish.

As a young child in the 1960's, I used my grandfather's merchant marine telescope to watch Telstar passing over our town. I thought saw other vehicles in the sky on other days when the satellite was orbiting elsewhere. My grandmother, told me naah, that if aliens had any sense, they'd avoid earthlings, but that alien hybrids were what we historically called changelings.

My great grandmother had a terrifying UFO experience. Her family lived and worked at this remote ranch in new mexico. They were very rural and didnt even own a car. She grew up without electricity or plumbing and left school in the 3rd grade. She was going to the outhouse in the middle of the night by herself, by lantern light. It was quite far from where they were living on the ranch. A huge, loud craft descended on her, air blowing around her furiously and a bright, blinding light coming down on her. She heard loud, illegible mechanical voices in a language she didnt understand. She only spoke spanish. She ran home immediately, terrified. She was sure that she was going to be abducted or killed. It was a helicopter.

this made me realize that we desperately need a milo rossi / kaz rowe collab

25:28 Kaz: A whopping 25- (brain): That's not alot Kaz: -hundred % (brain): Oh damnn

fun video! My dad told me that his brother and him where fishing one night when they were young and suddenly see an alien ship rising, they ran away as the ship chased them. They ran all the way from the river to their home and arrived making a ruckus. My grandma chastise them as the alien ship chasing them was, well, the moon. They were quite drunk.

I can't believe I never realized time lapses can occur from sleep deprivation. You just solved a decades-long personal mystery lol. I had terrible sleep as a child, and I would fall asleep in class most days. One day at school (I think I was 8yo) I felt like I had just woken up in 5th period. It was like everything that happened after 8am was just a void in my memory. For a long time I was worried something traumatic happened to me or something.

i was literally just thinking about alien abductions earlier literally seconds before this video what
