The Great Venus Swindle
Episode 79
Published 11 years, 1 month ago
Description
In 1953 Harold Jesse Berney, head of a Washington, DC television antenna manufacturing operation, was chosen by the US government to be its main contact with Uccelles, a prince visiting our planet from Venus. If that sounds a bit bizarre, listen to this story to learn about one of the most fantastic swindles ever conceived. Also learn about a man who was shot three times and suffered no injuries, the day the circus never came to town, and a truck that could no longer fit through the same garage by which it had entered.
