HALLOWEEN BONUS: Close Encounters of the Puritan Kind
For Halloween weekend, we're dropping some of our spookiest past episodes back into the feed. In 1639 and 1644, Boston founder John Winthrop described close encounters that sound like they were pulled from a discarded X-Files script.

They're now considered the first recorded UFO sightings in North America. Full show notes: http://www.hubhistory.com/episodes/episode-63-puritan-ufos/
