StrayedAway: The Mystery That Started Shadows of the Moon

Welcome to The Shadows of the Moon Podcast I’m back! After six or seven years away, I’m finally sitting back behind the mic, and I’m starting with the story that started it all. In March 2018, a guy on Twitter named Ty posted a voicemail that didn’t sound human. Strangers decoded it. Then came the numbers, a pin on a map, a theory about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, and a deadline: April 18th. In this episode, we walk the trail one footprint at a time: The voicemail and the code hidden inside it The coordinates, MH370, and the black-box theory Diego Garcia and the government-facility rumors Messages in Morse, Latin, Arabic, and number ciphers A deleted Tumblr page with a video-game twist The Pleiadians, and why that one word hit me so hard April 18th, and what it felt like to watch Twitter like a hawk As always, we tell the story first. Then we investigate. We separate what’s confirmed from what’s only claimed. Snopes has rated the story false, calling it a hoax, but “hoax” just raises the next question: whose? I’ll let you decide. snopes A quick note: this is my first episode back, and I’m still shaking the cobwebs off. Please be gentle with me. I promise I’ll find my groove.
