4 HRS AGO - Moving from the 20 century into the 21st. What is changing to make the world better? What can you do? What are you going to to do? Can we offer something to help people move forward on a true spiritual path? Guess you would have to know what spiritual means. Not the programmed idea what the dictionary says. What made them spiritual? Nothing. No one should talk about anything they don't know.
Working with angels sounds like something spiritual right? But what do these people come out and say that make it important or real? Millions of people say they deal with angels and still cannot get an answer for which job they should take or which boyfriend they should hang with. They will still brag they are working with angels. Then you have people saying they are working with aliens. How many say it was a good experience? Then people are so programmed they say they said ok in another lifetime. Really they jhave no clue to they ever were and then why would you want to go backwards Collapse

12 HRS AGO - Is this a case of the third-man effect, actual intervention from beyond, or a hillbilly icon screwing with his fan base? Khadrice Rollins has a transcript of Dale's tale, but there's so much more on episode 229 of the Dale Earnhardt Jr. podcast where Dale debunks Bigfoot. It's one thing to speed 500 miles, but that's nothing compared to the long hauls over America's haunted highways by truckers. Phantom hitchhikers, creepy little girls, wolves in sheep's clothing, and Large Marge, are just the tip of Brent Swancer's iceberg of Bizarre Truck Encounters With The Paranormal. When the fuzz pick you up for hitchhiking, forcing you to cool your heels on the county's dime, be sure to tell your fellow inmates The Anomalist sentcha.

1 DAY AGO - Everyone's raving about Joshua Cutchin's latest contribution to the fortean oeuvre, Thieves In The Night. Especially Jim Harold who welcomes Josh to talk about the hardwired human horror of children being abducted by non-human entities. Sometimes kids choose to vanish, being absorbed into fringe religious organizations. Fortunately some do escape Cult Hell as illustrated in Janja Lalich and Karla McLaren's Escaping Utopia. Stronger still, as Lynn Picknett shares, is the necessity of broadening the definition of cult as mainstream religions tend to use the same tactics to engender helplessness and brainwash members.

2 DAYS AGO - Brett Tingley manages to say exactly what we've been thinking in this report of strange and inexplicable goings-on near Mount Vernon: Was the 7 to 8 feet all, hairless creature with light brown skin, a tall slender body, small neck and oval elongated head a reptilian swamp creature that crawled out of its office for a bit of sightseeing during the Congressional summer recess? Perhaps Nick Redfern's take on A Shape-Changing Chupacabra should be taken out of its South American context and applied to Tingley's more political setting. Redfern makes a good argument for shape-shifting monsters, those creatures who appear different depending on who is looking at them. Alternate facts anyone?

Kudos to Mike for mixing it up and allowing us to put a voice to a sighting, all while maintaining the young lady's anonymity. Next, there's been another Bigfoot Spotted in Upstate NY. An enormous and hairy bipedal creature was seen darting across a highway before disappearing over the barrier wall on the other side.

5 DAYS AGO - In the current election cycle, Joe Manchik's candidacy may have the highest ceiling for weird. Manchik has said "My distant relatives originally came ... from a planet orbiting a star in the Pleiades star cluster located in the constellation of Taurus." But his ancestry shouldn't affect Joe's eligibility any, because he himself comes from Hell. Well, Hell, Michigan, that is. Micah Hanks explains how this Green Party's local standard bearer affected the election for Ohio's vacant 12th Congressional District. Nick Redfern may have bettered Hanks with his UFOs: "Not Something to Encourage". Redfern focuses on Albert Bender, a UFO enthusiast who went off the rails when three MIBs "literally materialized in his attic-based abode." A shadowy group once enthusiastically "investigated UFO encounters" for some time, Nick believes after Taking a Look at the Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit. Kevin Randle has denied the unit's existence, and while Nick provides documentary mentions of the IPU, all Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - UFOlogist and venture capitalist Jacques Vallee's presentation at the 61st Annual Convention of the Parapsychological Association surprised a lot of people. As RPJ recounts, Vallee spoke about the "hidden history" of Silicon Valley, and how the world wide web owes a big debt to psi research and the study of the untapped potentials of human consciousness--they both grew out of efforts he was involved in (ARPANET and the Stargate “psychic spy� program) at the Stanford Research Institute. The real surprise came when Vallee said he is stepping back from UFO research because ufology remains "too superficial to really get into the roots of the problem." Vallee said he now wishes to spend the remainder of his life on more fruitful endeavors! Maybe that means more psi research, which would be fine by psychologist Jim Carpenter who explains the Basic Terms In First Sight, First Sight being his model of the mind and a theory of the kinds of hypothetical processes that parapsychologists Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Spanish ufologist and journalist Jose Antonio Caravaca answers one of the more knotty problems in his novel "Distortion Theory" of close encounters. Jose's exposition is careful, comprehensive, and helpful in understanding this interesting construct. One wonders what trace case guru Ted Phillips would make of this, and it of course has ramifications for what those folks over at To The Stars and Earth Tech are presumably doing. Jose's application to radar returns apparently collectively experienced at different locations and with different equipment, such as in the 2004 Nimitz "Tic Tac" encounters, would also be welcome. Rich Reynolds reviews his views in Are "Alien Abductions" Real? Maybe. Rich ponders the possibility of a "reality" beyond those of the skeptics and "traditional" abduction researchers. Rich and Jose are honestly seeking explanations fitting the data while not labeling close encounter witnesses as merely crazy, mendacious, or intellectually challenged. (WM)-- Delivered Collapse

3 DAYS AGO - Nick Redfern uses Kevin Randle's The Decline of Roswell article as support for his theory that a Japanese-American balloon experiment gone horribly wrong caused the July 1947 Roswell crash. Nick makes a good case here. But there's More on the "No UFO Crash" at Roswell Saga, says Nick. He successfully brushes aside one effort to sustain the ET-Roswell connection, and then says if that connection is broken, "I predict that Ufology will unravel quickly." There's a great deal more to UFO studies than just Roswell, so Nick's Ufological Ragnarok prediction is hopefully too dire. For instance, there's Pascagoula: A 1973 UFO Close Encounter, Reconsidered by Micah Hanks. Hanks draws parallels between the 1973 Charles Hickson-Calvin Parker abduction and the 1957 experience of Antonio Vilas-Boas to suggest a non-ET origin for both. Hanks suggests humans using some type of stealth helicopters as an explanation. This tack presents its own problems, but at least it's more palatable to "Faithful Collapse

4 DAYS AGO - Paul Seaburn, who has been dutifully following the sometimes queasy archaeological news from Egypt, advises us that "a second giant sphinx" was found by workers during the "Al-Kabbash Road project" between the fabulous Luxor Temple and the Karnak complex, to the north. Seaburn's is a clearer presentation than many others of what's going on, as visitors to those two Upper Egyptian tourist sites well know that tons of sphinxes connected these locations, and indeed performed apotropaic, guardian-type functions in "classic" temple complexes. Paul is also right to question the c. 2500 BCE date being bruited about for the sphinx. Closer to home, Micah Hanks contributes an excellent article in Dig Deeper: Paradigm Shifts and the Changing Face of North American Archaeology. This piece is highlighted by an outstanding video documenting Hanks's visit to a South Carolinian site that might set back the date for human occupation in the Americas well before 16,000-to-21,000 years BP (Before Collapse

6 DAYS AGO - George Knapp and former USN Operations Specialist Kevin Day dialogue on the November 2004 encounters between assets of the U.S.S. Nimitz carrier group and a "fleet" of real objects performing unreal maneuvers. Knapp does an expert job of navigating Day through a complex though coherent story that strengthens the case of Captain David Fravor and other pilots who actually saw (and it seems, engaged) these objects. But there's a completely "other" aspect to this event series--what may have occurred to the radar team on at least the U.S.S. Princeton--that was not directly mentioned in the Knapp-Day exchange we heard. Speaking of the pilots, MJ Banias relates the deplorable news that the Leaked Nimitz UFO Report Reveals Names of Sources. It appears that an unredacted "2004 USS Nimitz Pilot Report" was among sensitive documents relating to the "Tic Tac" encounters that recently surfaced. Banias has a link to Keith Basterfield's responsible summary of the AATIP Documents Found on US Collapse

Now that's out of the way, Amy Paturel has a remarkable assessment of the phenomenon of coincidence imbued with equal parts of science and psychology with some tips on keeping track of these events. Further down the path of non-human agency, Nigel Warburton considers The Unreality Of Luck. Luck does exist, but like all things one's perception colors whether it's good or bad evinced by two wartime anecdotes. Even machines can be lucky, experiencing coincidence as humans perceive the phenomenon, much like the storied Vela Hotel satellite.

The same happens, according to John Higgs, with Timothy Leary dropping acid, surprise surprise, then apprehending his place in an ages-old magickal lineage going back further than Aleister Crowley. Not unlike Timothy Leary, Colin Bennett also liked connecting the dots when it comes to Bigfoot, Mysterious Men, And The Occult.

Hopefully all will be revealed soon since Brett Tingley and The Internet Are Crowdfunding The Release Of CIA Mind-Control Documents.

2 DAYS AGO - The tragic end of conspiracy theorist-ufologist Max Spiers continues to puzzle, well after his July 2016 passing at age 39. Adding to the still-questioned cause of death is evidence that the Polish investigation of Spiers' demise was more than just botched. Tim Binnall has the details on this, as well as on the Alien Sighting Reported in Ohio. No spacecraft here, but something resembling a Tall Grey was seen crossing a road. Why is another matter. The same has been asked of the man who furnished the Video: UFO Filmed Over NC Lake. Binnall does not exaggerate when he says the footage is so shaky that it "may leave viewers feeling sea sick by the time the video comes to a close." Whether anyone has bothered to attempt an analysis of "stills," or just chalked it off as being the Goodyear blimp, is also another question. (WM)-- Delivered by Feed43 service Collapse

But the main focus of Halperin's thoughtful piece is the London Review of Books, which might be considered another bastion of liberal thought. Specifically, it's an article by Nick Richardson, who speaks with respect toward the To The Stars...Academy of Arts & Science and its founder, then veers off to discuss favorably the ideas of Jacques Vallee. Halperin himself moves from this focus to another NYT article, this time a July 21st piece on an "Ancient Aliens" conference.

The probabilities stemming from this review tend to weaken the idea that an extraterrestrial craft was deposited on a New Mexico ranch back in 1947. Elsewhere, Hadley Meares gives an even-handed and interesting account of The Unsolved Mystery of the Lubbock Lights UFO Sightings. The "quiet summer night in Lubbock, Texas" produced a conundrum only 4 years after Roswell's 1947 event. And sandwiched in between them chronologically was a really "up and close," harrowing experience chronicled in Alex Hollings's The Time a WWII Fighter Pilot Intercepted a UFO over North Dakota in his P-51 Mustang.
