November 6A new Hollywood motion picture, The Fourth Kind, is being promoted as a semi-documentary that claims to include some actual footage of case studies the film is based on. The premise: a psychiatrist investigating sleep disorders among the population of Nome, Alaska, exposes an ET abduction scenario through hypnotism sessions. The credibility of the scenario is bolstered by the inclusion of the supposedly non-fictional psychiatrist, Abigail Tyler, interview footage. The only snag? It's not real footage. Or is it? There seem to be conflicting reports of whether or not an Abigail Tyler conducted her research and reported it to Alaska Psychiatry Journal, a group that Denise Dillard, president of the Alaska Psychological Association, never heard of. Also, the website of the journal was suspiciously created a mere month ago, say those digging for records of ownership. Abigail Tyler, as it turns out, may not even exist since no one has heard of her within the field either. With pics and video. And in More ‘Exorcist’ than ‘JFK’ Billy Cox wonders if The Fourth Kind docu-drama has the potential to do for Project Blue Book what Oliver Stone’s “JFK” did in 1991 for the National Archives and the Dallas Police Department (i.e., provoke a public clamor for access to sealed records, a fluttery congressional response, etc.). But enough with the fake documentary, here is the real thing: The Aztec UFO Crash That Was Bigger (and More Classified) Than Roswell.The Big Grey Man Man-Beast UKAlthough some would describe the Big Grey Man of Ben Macdhui as a British Bigfoot, fortean researcher Andy Roberts explains in this video presentation at Weird Weekend that the story is not quite so clear-cut. Elsewhere, Sallie Ann Clarke Dies. Clarke was a tireless researcher and chronicler of the 1969 "Lake Worth Monster" of Texas. Also, On The Track Episode 26. And don't forget that today is the "grand opening" of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine: It Does Exist!An Alien like Dolores Barrios… ForgetomoriOn August 7-8, 1954, a meeting of contactees took place atop Mount Palomar in California, with more than a thousand people in attendance. At this congress, George Adamski explained that the Venusians were much like human beings. So much so they had infiltrated our society and were living in the big cities. "At the end of the first day there was some commotion when the audience noticed the presence of two men and a woman with an exotic appearance. The rumor started that they were disguised Venusians." One of the attendees asked: “Are you or are you not Venusians?” The woman, Dolores Barrios, a dress designer, smiled and calmly replied. “No.” More beautiful blonde alien women in Asket and Nera. And more recently, an Update: Alien Entity Images/Evidence.Dynamic Entanglement In Living Systems Entangled MindsDean Radin quotes a piece from the new issue of Scientific American on entanglement and then predicts "that eventually a mainstream neuroscience group will seriously test whether the brains, and then the minds, of identical twins or emotionally bonded couples, are entangled. And they'll find there is such evidence." And they'll probably be hailed for discovering a completely new phenomenon.Did a UFO Abduct 11-Year-Old Lisa? All News WebIn the Ural mountain region of Russia, an eleven year old girl, Lisa Hlupinoy, has been reported missing since last August. In a story that has gripped Russia, Lisa was last known to have accompanied three friends into the woods near their home, yet strangely all became lost, prompting a large search. Upon finding the three boys some three days later without any trace of Lisa, the youths were initially suspected of foul play. The boys emphatically deny they had anything to do with her disappearance. Desperate for clues, police have turned to psychics and UFO investigators in the area, which is known for UFO sightings aplenty. Police are beginning to suspect the girl may have been abducted by unknown entities upon the boys insistence that white beams of light followed them in the woods and "took Lisa." Or were these "white beams" merely flashlights?In a remote part of Ethiopia, a massive rift, some sixty kilometers in length, has formed due to volcanic activity starting in mid-2005. Although continents separate from each other with such rifts, the location of these fissures are typically deep within the Earth's oceans. The relatively new land-based rift allows scientists to study tectonic movement in a much easier, cost effective way since the oceanic rifts often prove too deep for many experiments. Scientists currently studying the area claim that eventually the rift will stretch to Mozambique and possibly create a new ocean.Two brothers managed to capture video of a large red light hovering near the Bay Bridge in San Francisco in May of 2008. Standing outside of their apartment building, the duo fished out binoculars from their parked vehicle in an attempt to get a better fix on what the object was. Without seeing any identifying lights or additional structure, one of the brothers returned home to get a video camera and managed to capture over two minutes of it moving slowly towards them. As it silently passed overhead, the light began blinking on and off as a plane approached its flight path, until the object ultimately disappeared. Elsewhere, Michael Swords discusses a list of cases that 35 veteran UK and USA UFO researchers "believed", that is, the ones they would "take to war" with the skeptics, in UFOs: What Is Believed?Copyright 1996-2010.
