Looking forward to the Apri fool's episode where the title is "Did alients/ghosts do/start...." and Simon just reads the title, says "No." then episode actually ends.

@KaiNeknete2012

Fun fact about the event in Hawaii, where a warning was mistakenly sent:

A few minutes after the warning was issued the internet traffic of p*rn sites increased significantly (I think it was something around 30%). "A knight dies with his sword in his hands" I guess...

@Hillbilly001

Well done Katy. You had Simon on a tangent in less than 20 seconds. LoL. Cheers from Tennessee

@ukmediawarrior

I saw one of those paranormal true or false shows once that covered this. Their take away of the photo shown in the paper was that so many high intensity search lights meeting in the same spot could make it look like a solid object was there when in actual fact it was purely light.

@MountainCry

Less than 20 seconds in and Simon's already on a tangent. 😂

@kimymarie596

I feel like even if an alien came down and landed in Washington, Simon would just be like, “Guess I was wrong about that one.” So unbothered lol

@Guypersondraws

I love seeing DTU pop up in my notifications. I don't even need to watch it to know it's gonna be a good time

@JohnDrummondPhoto

It's my understanding that Japan, lacking planes capable of reaching the US and returning, launched a series of balloons carrying incendiary devices towards the U.S. The idea was to possibly start forest fires and generally spread panic in the U.S. and Canada. Almost all the balloons either ditched at sea or drifted across the country without incident. One balloon did actually land in Washington or Oregon and killed someone(s). That person or persons were the only domestic casualties of WWII.

@keithwalmsley1830

I've always thought that the apparent "object" in the famous photograph was just a confluence of all the searchlights searching in the same spot at the same time, maybe enhanced for the newspaper version.

@impostersyndrome3898

I'm all for a skeptical eye, but it's kind of amazing how much trust Simon puts in the government.

@cages_eu607

How does my boy get on tangents before even finishing the intro…I don’t care I love it 🥲

@PatchesRNG

Dang really on a string of aliens at the forefront of videos lately! love it!

@rquinn0111

That old-time news cast was smashing!

@Nick-v7b3l

It wasn't in LA, but there was one WW2 incident that did cause all west coast bases to go on high alert. A radioman was receiving a Japanese communication and thought it was an imminent attack on San Francisco.
Turned out it was the Navajo codetalkers, which were so classified at the time that not even the brass on the other bases knew about them.

We still test our air raid sirens here in WA state every year. Mainly used for Volcanoes now though.

@katwitanruna

Truthfully, as a Navy brat who’s read a lot of military documents, they are always very wordy and not everyone can spell. Particularly back in the days of typewriters. Lord, the number of pages I’ve had to retype for papers back in the day.

@ktmggg

Majestic12. I love how secret government agencies have such humble names. Not pompous at all.

@anbu94

All "world wide cover ups" go up in smoke when you point out that EVERY government in the world would have to work together and do it flawlessly.

@Thegoat6969yooo

First album I bought - rage against the machine. Such an underrated band and ahead of the time politically

@imadeafunny2109

Simon & Team could you please do a video on how to verify documents/the admissibility of evidence in court/general police standard procedure and all things of that nature, feel like it comes up often in these videos and I would love to learn about it!
