On this week's episode we chat about Close Encounters of the WEIRD Kind! We head over to Marisa's favorite topic, aliens. Siho brings us the legend of Utsuro-bune, "hollow boat". In this strange encounter a group of Japanese fisherman's catch of the day could be an alien…or a Russian woman on the run? Then we head over to Malaysia where Marisa brings us the serial invasion of mini-aliens and mini-UFOs spotted by children in the 1970s and 1980s. Encounters of the third kind for third graders!
