Anyone Know Anything About the "UFO in JRB" Mystery from Back in the Day?
Goose Gaming Folklore recently made a video where he was exploring a 13-year-old Reddit thread on r/n64 where people asked about N64 mysteries. Someone listed a few of their favorites. All of them were very obvious prominent ones except for one: "UFO in JRB".
There was a link to a video that no longer exists and at one point, this "UFO glitch" had a strategy guide on strategywiki (full explanation in the linked video).
Now I know that this is either a hoax, some one-off glitch that was caught on recording years ago and has since been deleted, or some combination of those. However, I was not prominently on the internet back in 2013 and have never heard of this story.
Exploring the top comments of the video, some suggest that it's a glitch with a bubble texture, while others suggest it's a misremember and it's actually the real UFO in Jolly Roger's Lagoon from Banjo Tooie. Some say they remember watching the video, other say it never existed.
Goose tried to recreate the glitch using the steps from the old strategywiki but could not recreate it.
For the folks that know way more about this game than I do, has anyone heard of this glitch/mystery story? I wanted to see if others have ever heard of it. Thanks!
