Pancakes from Outer Space: The Weirdest UFO Encounter

In a stunning 1961 UAP encounter, Wisconsin plumber Joe Simonton was handed hard evidence of extraterrestrial contact: four greasy "pancakes" from outer space. Then, the evidence disappeared. In this episode, Greg and Dana track down Project Blue Book's missing faelien flapjacks, accidentally uncovering a bizarre conspiracy poised to rewrite UFO history. Plus, Connor plans a purely hypothetical heist, Keelin reminds us she isn't *that* short, and we meet two aliens from the planet Lamborghini. Fire up the flameless grill and beware the Men in Black, because once you eat the pancakes from space, you ain't coming back.
