For this week’s adventure, we are heading to somewhere that prides itself on exploration of the Park after dark. Bring those night vision goggles and an open mind as we travel to Colorado’s Great Sand Dunes National Park where we discuss one of the state’s longest running unsolved mystery - the case of Snippy the horse, lights in the sky above Colorado, and contemplate the age-old question – are we alone? We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.

The Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado is an excellent destination to observe and ponder the sky. Looking at the night sky is akin to traveling back in time.
The speaker shares their experience of re-experiencing the magic of national parks through the eyes of a child and how fairy tales and childhood memories play a role in this.
A festival in the desert town of Alamosa, Colorado is dedicated to celebrating sightings of UFOs in the area, with decorated streets, alien-themed events, and discussions about extraterrestrial activity in the region.
Military personnel sighting UFOs gain more credibility than civilians and the International Dark Sky Park is a go-to place for astronomers and star enthusiasts. Strange incidents, such as Nellie's burning hand after touching something unknown, are also reported in National Parks.
The speaker discusses the strange case of a horse mysteriously missing all of its organs with precise cuts that seemed to have been cauterized by modern-day laser technology, despite the incident taking place in 1967 with limited technology. However, there were still traces of blood in the horse's body, and it is not confirmed whether or not the scorch marks around the body were from an external source or dried blood.
The speaker discusses the occurrence of satanic cult activity and animal sacrifice in small communities, expressing confusion and skepticism about such occurrences.
The possibility of intelligent life forms existing in the universe is high mathematically, and the idea of humans being the only life forms in existence is unlikely. Observing and learning from life forms on other planets could potentially be a reality in the future.
A mysterious flashing red light is spotted in the distance, possibly moving closer.
