The Real Life Rambo, UFO Battle of L.A. & A Ghostly Piano Encounter

06/05/2024

Join Ben Chasteen for the next installment of the Weirdest News in History!

5. Ever heard of the cornfield bomber? A jet fell into a flat spin over a field. Thinking the aircraft was going to crash, the pilot ejected. However, what happened next proved that the Air Force had some crazy advance tech even for 1970.

4. Bet you didn’t know that Rambo was based on a real dude. Yep, WWII veteran Audie Murphy’s story was so insane that they even had to tone it down for Rambo—because they felt it wasn’t believable even for the cinema.

3. Hear a ghost story guaranteed to bring chills down your spine, involving a little girl playing with her young friend. … It’s just that her young friend wasn’t real.

2.  A man sued a detective, who had him arrested, claiming that it tarnished his good name. Of course, that tends to happen when you’re convicted of murder.

1. The famous 1942 Battle of LA was a bizarre and controversial event that took place in the skies over Los Angeles during World War II. Anti-aircraft artillery unleashed a barrage of fire in response to reports of unidentified objects in the sky (UFOs?). Despite the intense response, there was no actual evidence of enemy aircraft or casualties on the ground. Was it the Japanese or extraterrestrials?

See it all on this episode of the Weirdest News in History.
