(lb) FWIW, given all the rabbit holes we've explored on this board, I'd like to throw in another Dec. 5 event:

(My dad was born on that very day, which has made it an event easy for me to remember.)
Today I wonder about if it was really just a freak disappearance or if there was some fuckery going on there.
The fact that it was featured in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," directed by (((a certain director))), makes me suspicious in a way I wouldn't have felt even a year ago.
