Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - March 24, 2026 [Doof]

From Abby

Greetings to you, ONT conversationalists all across the fruited plain! {typo corrected}

So glad you are here. Open thread, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?

Did YOU celebrate National Alien Abduction Day?

UFO Sightings Surge Across North America Ahead of “Alien Abduction Day”

As March 20—National Alien Abduction Day—rolls around again, a fresh wave of data is stirring up conversation, curiosity… and maybe a little unease. Across the United States and Canada, thousands of reported UFO sightings are painting a strange, flickering map of where the unexplained seems to linger most.

And honestly, the numbers feel less like trivia and more like something you might glance at twice before heading outside at night.

According to Casino.ca’s reporting on newly analyzed reports sourced from the National UFO Reporting Center and social media discussions, UFO sightings continue to cluster in unexpected places. Delaware, surprisingly, has emerged as America’s top hotspot. With one reported sighting for every 928 residents, the small state has logged over 1,000 encounters since 1974—many involving glowing cylinders and hovering lights that don’t quite behave like anything… familiar.

Up north, Canada tells a slightly different story, and it’s arguably more intense. Alberta now claims the title of the country’s UFO capital, with one sighting for every 568 residents. Wide open skies, fewer city lights—perfect conditions, depending on how you look at it.

Interesting stuff! Any of you willing to admit you've seen a UFO?

I wonder if John Bender is still there in detention?

The Breakfast Club seems to bring out big opinions among the Horde. As a Gen X'er who watched the film more times than I can count, I still hold it in high regard - quoting it regularly. Some of you either didn't get it, or you might think it's overrated. As was said in a different 80s movie, "opinions vary".

What say you? Like it, love it, hate it? Favorite scenes or lines?

Remember big league pitcher Randy Johnson - aka "The Big Unit"? He played for a lot of teams during his career. The first was the old Montreal Expos. He wasn't there long.

Throw a ball through a bird?? Yup - that happened 25 years ago today.

Rock and Roll in the Great White North and also Down Under

Up first - Who Are the ‘Big 4′ of Canadian Rock Bands?

Spoiler alert - Of course my favorite band made the list. Can you guess the other 3? Hint - one isn't actually a band, but rather a solo artist.

Moving to the southern hemisphere - Who Are the ‘Big 4′ of Australian Rock Bands?

One of these is probably a slam dunk guess for most of you. The second one is another one of my all time favorite bands, so I'm glad they made the list. Think you can figure them all out?

Curious as to your thoughts on both lists!

DJ Doof - Other Hoseheads and Aussies Edition

These artists didn't make the lists linked in the last segment. Should any of them have made it over one who did?
