On this episode of Expanded Perspectives Elite the guys start the show off talking about how a report from April 1968 – part of the 930,000 declassified documents recently posted online by the Central Intelligence Agency – details six sightings of unidentified flying objects over Ladakh, Sikkim (then a protectorate of India), Bhutan and Nepal in preceding months. Though the US security establishment has largely debunked the issue of UFOs in recent years, the CIA and the US Air Force took reports of flying saucers in the 1950s and 1960s so seriously that the spy agency’s Office of Scientific Intelligence formed a scientific advisory panel to study the phenomenon. The CIA report, originally not meant to be shared with foreigners, contains “particulars of bright objects seen over south Ladakh, north east Nepal, north Sikkim and western Bhutan”.

Then, the cost of electricity produced by offshore wind turbines has fallen by a third in just four years, according to a new report. The analysis, by Dong Energy and other firms, found that the average cost during 2015/16 was £97 per megawatt hour (mwh), according to the Financial Times. In 2012, the industry was asked by the UK Government to reduce prices to £100 per mwh within eight years, but the target has been reached in about half that time. Then, Linda Godfrey recently posted an interesting upright canine sighting that took place in a small town in North Dakota.  Then, Lon Strickler of Phantoms and Monsters recently posted a strange sighting of a possible time traveler at a party!

After the break Cam brings up some haunted Texas Lakes. Thanks for listening to Expanded Perspectives Elite! Have a great Weekend!
