In Mission 137 we explore how the main stream media covers the unexplained. Almost every week some news outlet will cover a paranormal story.

Tonight the Oddballs are going to look at some headlines from around the globe and have an open discussion as to why some of these items make the news and how the topic is being covered. Could it be that disclosure is happening all around us all of the time and the media is playing its role? Tune in to find out!
