EP 83: 50 Years of High Strangeness

This week on Sasquatch Experience…In 1973, residents of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, experienced a rare and bizarre phenomenon known as the “double flap,” a series of events involving sightings of both UFOs and Bigfoot creatures. The first encounter with Bigfoot occurred in December 1972, when residents of Greensburg reported seeing a hairy, bipedal creature chasing their neighbor’s two dogs in the middle of the day. The following month, glowing spheres of pure white light were reported hovering in the sky, from which shards of luminous material fell toward the ground. This “double flap” was reported in nine counties, an area spanning over eighty miles!Stan Gordon, an electronics technician in his twenties, led the investigation into these events. He formed a ufology group based in Westmoreland County, which proved invaluable to the police as they became inundated with reports. The “double flap” of 1973 is a fascinating and mysterious event that continues to intrigue paranormal enthusiasts to this day.PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW ON ALL PLATFORMS: YouTube, Facebook, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher Radio, Spreaker, or wherever you listen!SASQUATCH EXPERIENCE, SASQUATCH EXPERIENCE CLASSICS, & SASQUATCH EXPERIENCE: STILL SEARCHING are brought to you by Sean Forker, Henry May, Vance Nesbitt, Matt Arner, and James Baker.
