From USOs To Disney Tragedies: Sorting Fact From Hype

Headlines don’t slow down to check themselves, so we do. We open with a surge of USO reports near U.S. waterways sourced from a popular UFO tracking app, then pressure-test the claims: how are sightings verified, who filters duplicates, and where are the named Navy officials behind the talk of national security risks? Big numbers feel convincing, but without methodology and corroboration, they can mislead more than they inform.

From there, we turn to the hard-to-read string of recent deaths at Walt Disney World and the rush to publish without essential facts—cause, timeline, and official statements. Viral balcony videos, police tape, and cast members asking guests to avert their gaze feed a cycle where speculation fills every gap. We talk about how to read developing stories with care, why unrelated incidents shouldn’t be joined into a single narrative, and how media restraint honors both truth and the people affected.

Then we step into deep space, where a “Manhattan-sized” interstellar object triggers emergency monitoring, headlines about anti-tails and cometary tails, and hints of an extraterrestrial Trojan horse. We unpack what tails and anti-tails actually mean, why viewing geometry can create strange visuals, and where solid astronomy ends and hype begins. Being open to discovery doesn’t mean settling for alarmist shortcuts; it means insisting on data, peer review, and proportional claims.

If you’re craving clarity on USOs, Disney news, and the latest cosmic mystery—without the panic—we’ve got you. Listen for a grounded take, bring your best questions, and share your perspective.

Hello, good morning, happy Monday. Uh can you believe October is almost over with? October flew by. Wow. Um well I have a couple stories for you and I decided I'm gonna start putting them out back on X again because screw the algorithm that's already messed up anyway. I don't have a blue check mark anymore, so if they want to punish me for putting external links on there, then I don't care because nobody's seeing my content anyway. All right, I did put uh something out there about the I don't know what you call it, an asteroid or whatever. I don't know if it's an asteroid, I don't know what it is. The thing in space that people are trying to tell us that is an alien. Uh no, it's not. Okay. But anyway, I put that out there for you. We'll get to that in a minute. I think I'll save that for last. Well, uh, but speaking of aliens, instead of in space, how about in the waters around us, in the oceans? The truth is under there. A popular UFO reporting app has recorded thousands of sightings of unidentified submersible objects, USOs, near U.S. waterways. Phenomena which high-ranking U.S. Navy officials warn could pose a threat to national security. I would like the names of these high US ranking official Navy officials, please. You can't just put that out there and then not name names. If they're high ranking, then you know who they are. Put their damn names in there. Enigma, which touts itself as the largest queryable queryable historical sighting database for global UFO sightings, claims it has received reports on over 30,000 unidentified flying objects and unidentified anomalous phenomena since launch in late 2022. Well, of course, people are gonna re report stuff. They see something, they're gonna report it even if they don't see anything. Come on, you people are you knew they're gonna abuse stuff. But the sightings haven't been limited to the skies, with reports also coming in about strange objects rising from the depths of the sea or plunging into the water without so much as a splash. As of August, Enigma has also logged more than 9,000 mysterious sightings within 10 miles, 10 miles of the U.S. shorelines or major bodies of water, 500 of them within five miles, with more than 150 reports describing objects hovering above the descending or descending into the waterways, according to Marine Technology News. Uh so yeah, that's kind of interesting. What do you think about that? You think that's real? What do you think it is? You think it's just made-up crap? People aboard, they don't have anything else to do. So they get on these apps and start reporting fake stuff, probably. Alright, let's move on to the next story. So I'm gonna save that one for last. Alright, so what is going on in Disney World? There has been a third death in two weeks in Disney. A third person has died at Walt Disney World in less than two weeks in a chilling string of fatalities that has cast a pall over the most magical place on earth. A man died at Disney's contemporary resort near Magic Kingdom Park outside Orlando, Florida, the Orange County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed to the post. Uh uh officials didn't reveal the cause, of course not, or specific time of death. I think people who write these stories should not be allowed to write them until they have all of the information because I want to know what happened to this guy. Now I'm just reading just bull crap. I'm reading a bunch of fluff. Tell me what happened to this guy. That is the whole point of reporting on these things. Ugh. All right, so they didn't a specific time of death, but a TikTok video shot Thursday from a guest window shows police tape and a gang of officers and emergency workers in the hotel's courtyard. Others on social media said they were asked not to look out their balcony. Well, of course I'm gonna look out my damn back balcony when you tell me not to. But here's the thing they took a bunch of Disney employees and made them stand in front of the window so nobody could see. Uh, no, I'm paying for this. Get out of my way. I want to see. I'm paying for this hotel room and this view. Get out the way. Uh, let's see. So others on social media said they were asked not to look out their balcony windows by cast members who knocked on their door. Something happened in the back of the building with crime scene tape surrounding the water fountain. I don't know if somebody jumped or accidentally fell to their death, but something happened. And they have an employee at every single wing window to shield you from looking out the back so you can't view. No, you're gonna remove yourself from my view, sir or ma'am. The contemporary resort is the same place a superfan leaped to her death last week from its iconic A-frame tower. Superfan Summer Equitz from the Chicago area got married last year, honeymooned at Disney World in October, and announced she was pregnant two months later, before the 31-year-old took her life in full view of horrified guests. It is unclear if Equitz delivered the baby. I don't know what that means. I don't know. Uh then on Tuesday, a man in his 60s collapsed at a Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and campground and later died at the hospital. Then that probably sounds like a heart attack or something. But damn, what is going on with Disney? All right. Let's move on to let's go over to my X-File because I put like a thread over here about this interstellar or whatever this thing is out in space. I don't know what you call it. Could mysterious Manhattan-sized comet be a black swan event? What does that mean, a black swan event? What does that mean? I don't even know what that means. The implications are so huge for humanity. And then I have a couple of other ones underneath it here. Let's see what this story says. Let's get through all the advertisements. All right, is it an inst is it's an interstellar wolf in sheep's clothing? Earlier this week, the NASA-backed International Asteroid Warning Network, IAWN, launched an emergency defense probe after three eye atlas exhibited unusual behavior. Now, Harvard scientist Ivy Loeb warns that the Manhattan-sized interstellar object zipping through our solar system could be an extraterrestrial Trojan horse whose presence has major implications for humanity. I've heard this guy at Ivy Loeb's name bantered around a lot lately. I need to know who he is. Is he a nut job? Loeb, who maintains that the object could be of alien origin, he's got to be a nut job. Ever since it's July, Discovery told Elizabeth Vargas reports that he was concerned with the size of it, which he inferred could weigh 33 billion tons based on web telescope data. What how in the world? So it's large, and then my next story says that is that it's developed a tail. Let's go look at that. I think it was the last one I posted. Let's see, this is something new that's happening on X. So Manhattan-sized space object has grown a tail, a possible sign of alien maneuver, Harvard scientists. I bet this is Avi Lobe again. New images reveal the Manhattan-sized interstellar object. Atlas has started to sport a tail, indicating that it could possibly be a maneuver alien craft, one Harvard scientist suggested. Yes, there he is. Avi Lobe. After exhibiting signs of an incredibly strange anti-tail. What does that mean? Anti-tail. Since first cropping up in the solar system in July, uh Atlas is now showing evidence of a true cometary tail. Images taken by so it's I mean, don't they all develop a tail when they start falling from the sky? Is this really that unusual? I don't think so. However, the succession of an anti-tale tail and then the presence of a tail could be indicative in sorry, indicative, oh my gosh, I can't talk. Indicative of controlled maneuvering. Oh, come on. And a high impact black swan event. Oh gosh. Why are you trying to scare people half to death? I don't know. I don't know. Let's see what this other story. I posted three stories about this thing. Okay, yeah, it's the same thing. Alright. What do y'all think about that? Do you think that's crazy? Do you think that's even what do you think that is? I think it's just an asteroid flying through space like it normally does. I don't think it's anything huge that we need to worry about. Alright, we need to move on to the question of the day. Okay, look around you right now, wherever you're sitting. What is to the right of you? Since I'm in my car, obviously, I'm the passenger seat is to my right. My handbag, my lunchbox, my water jug. That is everything that is to the right of me. What is to the right of you right now? Okay, gotta go. Thanks for listening. Bye.
