This week in Weird News it is two groundbreaking stories at the frontiers of science and the unknown. First, join us as we explore a scientific marvel – the recovery of RNA from the extinct Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian Tiger. What does this groundbreaking achievement mean for our understanding of life and extinction? Then, we journey beyond our planet to examine a tantalizing discovery that could redefine our search for extraterrestrial life. Scientists have detected a molecule, dimethyl sulphide (DMS), on a distant world – a molecule that, on Earth, is only produced by living organisms. Could this be the first real evidence of life beyond Earth? Tune in to "Blurry Hysteria" for a deep dive into these fascinating stories, where the lines between science, mystery, and the potential for life's existence in various forms blur intriguingly.

That's right, the Hammersmith Ghost had the locals trembling in their cravats and corsets. But was it a malevolent spirit or just a mischievous prankster who couldn't resist the allure of a good old-fashioned ghost story?

For our 2nd and last week of vacation the one and only Ryan Sprague takes over our feed to tell us the tale of the Tehran UFO Incident! Make sure to check our Ryan's website for all of his shows, books, and amazing podcast, Somewhere in the Skies! Original Description: In 1976, strange lights were being sighted over the city of Tehran, Iran. After dozens of reports, the Iranian Air Force sent up several fighter jets to investigate. General Parvis Jafari would attempt to identify the lights, soon discovering it was much more than just lights in the sky. He would soon be involved in one of the most tense standoffs with a UFO ever reported, and the subsequent investigation that would include the Iranian Air Force, the United States Air Force, the DIA, CIA, and NSA. What exactly was seen in the skies that day, and why did it seem that the United States wanted control of the entire investigation? This is the extraordinary story of the Tehran UFO Incident.
