Episode 374 - The Truth Is Out There, But So Are Lies

Join Carlos, Matt, and Armando for this week's programme.

In this week's show a 737 goes for a swim, United Airlines spends a few quid & a 82 year old is destined to head into space and there's more fails from the main stream media.

In the military, the Colombian President's helicopter gets hit by small arms fire, the Pentagon still can't (or won't) explain UFO's, and the Swiss Air Force decides on the F-35 for its future fighter force.
