Americans Are Increasingly Convinced That Aliens Have Visited Earth

Not aliens, but as a Spaniard I'd heard odd news not under our local Alex Jones lite channel, but on general newspapers and TV news programs:

TL;DR A whole family is teleported to a tertiary rural-nowhere road the exact moment it was about to have a crash with a truck in a highway.

Inb4 "that happened in Argentina too, it was a staged fake to advertise a further UFO-themed movie". Yes, I know about that case, and even in an interview to the family the radio journalist mentions it, but this case had no mention of promotions or whatever.

Does the GPS in their phones show the teleportation?

> that happened in Argentina too

So you have a link? I don't remember reading that here.

Caso Vidal, it was a hoax to promote a movie, it was widely known. Yet, as I stated, the radio interview mentions the Argentinian case as something that was later depicted as a fraud, but today, in the age of smartphones, (and a journalist being interviewed), the case in Andalucia hasn't been debunked.

I don't think a journalist today would dare to lie when your whole career could be laughed down in a second and with internet being on every pocket your life would be trashed down in a breeze. Thus, I'm scientifically skeptic, of course, but when the Wolfram Alpha/ Mathematica guy states that the Universe it's just an exercise of computation, who knows if there are slight 'bugs' here and there...

Or maybe stuff that looks 'paranormal' but it's just part of the normal functioning universe. Think about garbage collection on a Lisp interpreter. So it woudln't be a 'bug', but something 'mandatory' to happen in order to preserve some self-consistency on further events.

I found it, it's an old case from 1968. They got "teleported" from Argentina to Mexico inside a Peugeot.

without evidence.

Well, except for all those megaliths left behind all around the world with carvings of people wearing space suits and carrying a purse. The purse sealed the deal for me.
