Episode 67: This week the team wanders the quiet edges of Russell Lake and dives headfirst into one of Pennsylvania's strangest unsolved mysteries. In 1974, three local boys watched a mysterious craft streak across the night sky, plunge to earth, and vanish into a silt pond in Carbondale. What followed sounds less like small town gossip and more like a scene ripped from a lost Cold War fever dream. More than 1500 people gathered at the lake. Local police reportedly fired their weapons at a glowing light beneath the water. Witnesses claim a flatbed truck arrived in the dead of night and hauled away an unknown object, just hours before officials recovered what they later identified as an electric railroad lantern. Here's the problem. The lantern was still lit long after the manufacturer insisted it should have gone dark. Physics raised an eyebrow. Logic cleared its throat. Did the lantern somehow move on its own beneath the surface of the lake? Did it defy everything we know about batteries, water, and time? Or did something else entirely fall into Russell Lake that night and quietly disappear from the record? Join us as we explore the Russell Lake UFO incident, the Carbondale Pennsylvania mystery of 1974, and the unanswered questions that refuse to sink. The truth may be buried in the mud, but it is still glowing.
