In this episode, Natty and her guest Melissa delve into the fascinating events of March 21, 1966, where a dormitory of students, police officers, and the Hillsdale County Civil Defense Director all witnessed a mysterious football-shaped UFO hovering over a swamp in Hillsdale, Michigan. Natty discusses the similarities and differences between this incident and an earlier sighting in Dexter, including strange light patterns and the craft's extraordinary movements, while debating whether the events were extraterrestrial or a secret military experiment.
