Episode 218 - Joanna in Scotland! AZ Vaccine latest! US Navy filmed UFOs!

Episode 218 - Joanna in Scotland! AZ Vaccine latest! US Navy filmed UFOs!

The foundation stone upon which this episode is built is Joanna's brilliant summary of her Covid year. We look in-depth at the impact Covid has had on Scotland. Plus, the AZ vaccine has a very rare clot side effect and I feel rough ennuf to do a Covid test (negative, thankfully!). Also, a rich, old creepy racist died. By far the biggest story of the week is covered In Paranormal Blip - footage of pyramid-shaped UFOs filmed by the US Navy in 2019, released this week by documentary filmmaking Jeremy Corbell. I trumpet this footage - Pictures and video show Unidentified Flying Objects moving above U.S. Navy warships - YouTube - and this interview - Mystery Wire Podcast - July 2019 Pyramid UFO swarm over a U.S. Navy destroyer - YouTube- with George Knapp and Corbell.

The grisly milestone of 100,000 UK Covid deaths finally puts the death toll on the front pages! After all the pain and suffering, we hear from Malcolm Normal and then stick around for a spoiler review of Lost Season 2! *Swearing*
