Veteran TV host Waleed Aley was left stunned on Wednesday’s episode of The Project after interviewing Australian twins Bridgette and Paula Powers.
The sisters appeared on Channel 10’s panel show after going viral with a news clip in which they could be seen speaking in near perfect unison.
The 47-year-old pair made headlines when they relayed their experience witnessing a carjacking and shooting on Queensland’s Bruce Highway on Tuesday.
Their interview in which they gave an identical, word-for-word explanation at the exact time left Waleed scrambling for an explanation.
Asking the women ‘how’ they could speak in this way the pair replied in unison,
‘We don’t know why. We have tried to talk separately but it’s not ourselves. It’s not us. ‘We don’t care about the critics.

‘If you can’t stand lasting to us switch off the TV.’
Elsewhere in the chat Waleed could hardly contain his astonished response.
‘Sorry I’m still blown away with what’s happening here,’ he said.
He then asked the sisters whether they could make a distinction between their own thoughts and that of their sibling.
‘We wish we could know ourselves,’ they answered together, adding,
‘I wish we could answer that.’
Waleed signed off the segment with a surprising admission.
‘I reckon I might have done 10 to 15,000 interviews… not one has been was like, this is extraordinary.’

It comes after the Powers twins recounted the terrifying moment their mother came face-to-face with an alleged gunman – in a bizarre TV interview where they give an identical, word-for-word explanation at the exact same time.
An alleged gunman is alleged to have caused a crash on Queensland’s Bruce Highway that killed a woman.
The gunman is alleged to have shot a Good Samaritan in the arm while on a carjacking spree as he fled the crash scene.
Twins Bridgette and Paula witnessed the chaos firsthand, and their interview – where they answered a journalist’s questions in unison – quickly went viral.
The pair described how their mother, who had rushed to help a crash victim, suddenly found herself confronting the alleged gunman emerging from the wreckage.
‘And one guy, he was up there with our mum… he goes, ‘run, he’s got a gun’,’ one sister said, while the other mimicked her speech exactly, word for word.
‘And our heart started to pound. And I said, ‘Oh, mum, where’s mum?’ – and poor mum was stuck up there.
‘She goes, “Are you alright?” because he had all blood all over his face and he goes, “I’ll shoot you.”‘
In a split-second decision, their mum distracted the alleged gunman and bolted into the surrounding bushland.
Thankfully, the twins and their mother were able to escape the chaos safely.
Their interview made headlines around the world, with US media and politics news website Mediaite describing their perfectly in unison recount as ‘surreal’.
Bridgette and Paula previously caught the attention of media after it was revealed they have their own language and wear matching clothes every day.
As children, the twins were taken under the wing of late wildlife warrior Steve Irwin.
They now run a rescue sanctuary for seabirds.
