Rafael Perez | The Time Aliens Possessed a Pilot

In 1976, a student pilot named Rafael Perez took off on what was supposed to be a simple solo flight from Mexico City. The plan was to circle a nearby lake, make a brief landing in an open field, and return to the airport. It was meant to last about an hour. But something went very wrong. Moments after takeoff, Rafael Perez disappeared from radar. Air traffic controllers couldn’t contact him. Hours later, his small Cessna appeared hundreds of miles away—over Acapulco—without enough fuel to have made the trip. That’s when things became even stranger. Things I Learned Last Night is an educational comedy podcast where best friends Jaron Myers and Tim Stone talk about random topics and have fun all along the way.
