Missing Jet Details Don’t Add Up

Missing flight F-35 has been found. The pilot safely ejected after a “mishap” mid-flight, but the $100 million plane’s disappearance was initially a mystery.

Was it hacked by another country? Did A.I. take over the jet? Were the contents somehow important? Outside of speculation about this particular plane, many other missing planes have encountered strange scenarios over the years. Ever heard about the pilot who somehow experienced a time slip, teleporting to another time period, then coming back with a few lost hours?

If your mind goes to “aliens” with any of these stories, you’ll be interested in the latest updates about the alien bodies presented to the Mexican Congress—and what a CT scan of their anatomies turned up. Join Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts on this Edge of Wonder.

“We have almost no official answers from the Pentagon after $140 million dollar F-35 went missing. Was the aircraft hacked? Was it a planned false flag event? Even after the purported crash site was identified we can’t seem to get answers to basic questions. Here’s more from Clayton Morris on Redacted.

Where’s Our Future Technology?

Don’t expect time travel, aka teleporting, to be commonplace anytime soon. Think about how man went from flying across the ocean to landing a man on the moon in 50 years. Since that historic event in 1969, technology hasn’t exactly stayed afloat with our creative minds. Still no flying cars, teleporting from Earth to Mars or zipping through a wormhole. Vsauce2 host Kevin Lieber explains that there are a few problems still to be worked out.

Know Your Monster: 26

SHOBIJIN

The Shobijin are not monsters, but rather high priestesses from Infant Island assigned to watch over one of the most famous monsters of them all — Mothra.  A few things worth noting about the Shobijin:

* They are usually portrayed as identical twins, but much smaller than humans. Their race shrunk owing to nuclear testing on Infant Island. It’s sometimes depicted as a Polynesian paradise and other times as a lost island within the Indonesian archipelago.

* They sing haunting ballads to Mothra, who they worship as the guardian protector of their Lilliputian race.

* They can communicate telepathically with the monster, even across oceans and great distances. In some more recent films, they can even teleport themselves or other creatures.

I’ve always been a sucker for the Shobijin. Besides the fact that the actresses playing these fairies are stunningly beautiful and well-known pop stars,  the ballads have a haunting and ethereal quality all their own.  Take their most famous ode to Mothra — “Mosura No Uta” or “Mothra’s Song” — originally written in Malay although sometimes sung in Japanese in the movies. An English translation of the lyrics:

Mothra oh Mothra
If we were to call for help
Over time
Over sea
Like a wave you’d come
Our guardian angel!

Here, the Shobijin awaken Mothra in the 1966 movie Godzilla Vs. the Sea Monster.
