Strange Realm - Ep. 118 - June 29th, 2025

On this episode we bring you an industrious and startling show as we take a look into the mystery of real gnome encounters and the video evidence of gnomes found on the internet. We also dig into newly released military UFO footage showing a giant disc-shaped craft flying through the clouds in the skies over the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, find out what is the largest spider ever to live, and marvel over advanced technologies at use by the Hittites in the Bronze Age, as well as a modern technological advancement that turns air into gasoline. All of this and then, after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher continues reading from "Beware of the Woods," by Tony Urban.
