And so because of that...
why is it so outlandish to think that there could be for example like supernatural activity i mean there's there's um i told this story actually on the story time with mr ball and um the new show we've been doing i told it to tom segura on our first episode um the the shortened version of it is there's a story of this this mexican pilot
who's this young civilian pilot who was learning how to fly just as a civilian.
He's a 21-year-old kid.
Forget his name.
And there was the day where he was going to fly solo for the first time.
So he shows up to the airfield.
I think it's called Chimalacan, Mexico.
I'm butchering the name.
He shows up, he's done all his tandem, or whatever you call it, flights with an instructor.
Today he's gonna fly on his own.
And the flight path that he was gonna be on was very simple.
Take off, do a couple of turns, come back and land, just show us you can do it, and then you're certified.
So he's not nervous, he gets in the plane, he takes off, he takes off, I think it was like 9.15 in the morning.
I wanna say this is in the 80s or 90s, I forget, but it wasn't super recent.
He takes off and everything's going fine.
And he begins making his turn.
And then at a certain point, there's like this fog that rolls in.
And they were sort of aware of the fog, but the fog, like it really came in fast.
And as he's entering this fog, he loses his visibility.
