November 21The Spirits That Steal Your Soul The Daily GrailLouis Proud's book Dark Intrusions: An Investigation into the Paranormal Nature of Sleep Paralysis serves up an excerpt from its first chapter. In this excerpt Proud tells of the Sleep Paralysis (SP) experiences he began to undergo during a particularly trying time in his youth. During this period, as a class assignment, he wrote a supposedly fictional account of one of his experiences, one that was not fiction but fact. He goes on to include some quotes from others who have experienced SP, and these experiencers echo Proud's words in many instances. So, what makes Proud refer to SP as a paranormal experience? Elsewhere, Bryan Williams of the University of New Mexico holds forth on Apparitional Experiences Primer: Spontaneous Cases and Field Research; and a former member of the Stargate project joins Alex Tsakiris for a podcast interview in Remote Viewing Fact and Fiction, Paul H. SmithChris Hardman of Houston, TX, says he has recorded dozens of aerial objects that are extraterrestrial craft, including one recorded this week that came within a few hundred feet of him as he fired up his camcorder. Hardman has 51 videos posted at his YouTube account, and a link to the site is included at the bottom of this article. Note that the article ends with mention that Sammy Hagar, lead vocalist of the musical group Chickenfoot claims to be a contactee. Hagar says aliens have implanted music in his brain. A news video is included. Elsewhere, noting that Nevada Mutual UFO Network state examiner Mark Easter says "more and more people in this high tech age, common everyday people, are shooting video of very uncommon activity in the skies", this KTVN-TV news report brings more information about what's happening UFO-wise around the small town of Ely, as seen in Special Report: UFO Activity in Nevada. Are "mining and electrical power" the key to increased UFO activity over Nevada? Are those two industries also leading to the current flap in the Lonestar State, as described in Texas UFOs: 28 Reports in 20 Days. It seems Chris Hardman isn't the only Texan seeing unidentified flying objects.The Reel Paranormal (Truth is Stranger Than Paranormal) Dread CentralMeet Christopher Chacon, who wasn't always a film and entertainment producer/director/writer. Chacon was once, and still is, as a matter of fact, an investigator of all things paranormal. Despite a fulltime schedule with his feature film and television career, Chacon still travels just about anywhere in the world to undertake investigations of high strangeness. Chacon was trained in a unique scientific method for investigating such phenomena during a stint with "the Anomalistics Division of the Office of Scientific Investigation and Research (OSIR)" learning "advanced methods and protocols in analyzing and assessing phenomena." Key quote: "As a result of his stint with OSIR and his ongoing global explorations, Chacon has established a discreet clientelle from all walks of life in every corner of the world, ranging from Vatican representatives to government intelligence agencies." So what would a highly trained investigator such as Chacon make of Alyne Pustanio's A Defence of Demons: Part Three: Thirty Years Among the Dead?Fat-stealing Entities of Peru CFI BlogsA recent news item of a distinctly Fortean nature sets Mike Dash in motion through the archives of the Charles Fort Institute to explain the origin of the term used to describe a strange case of serial murders in Peru that allegedly were performed to recover fat from the bodies of the victims. Why would anyone want to recover the fat from human beings? Supposedly to sell it to some cosmetics manufacturers in Europe for use in their products. Four people have been arrested in an investigation of 60 such murders, and the report of their crimes sent Dash to the files for the definition of the term used in Peruvian news accounts of the arrests. Isn't it strange how fact can imitate legend? Elsewhere, in another grisly item concerning stolen body parts, a story from Italy is reporting that Galileo's Fingers, Tooth Are Found.Hobbits Not Diseased, Notes Dec. 2009 Study CryptomundoThe continuing war of words over the bones of Homo floresiensis has a new salvo due out next month that supports the contention they are the bones of a separate hominid species that lived concurrently with modern humans. Will this evidence finally silence those who have been trying to debunk the existence of the "Hobbits"? Meanwhile, Brent Swancer writes of the "ningyo," the legendary mermaids of Japan, in Japanese FeeJee Mermaids - Part I, and there's some positive news concerning one of the latest additions to the storefronts of Portland, ME, reported in Maine Office of Tourism Features Cryptozooology. -

November 20Can the Spirits of the Dead Heal the Living? Haunted America ToursBrad Steiger, author of 167 books, including Otherworldly AffairesWorlds Before Our Own, is at it again, joining with his wife and frequent co-author Sherry Hansen Steiger to present some of the many instances of miraculous occurrences that were collected during the duo's work on their recent book Real Miracles, Divine Intervention, and Feats of Incredible Survival. The two put together three stellar stories from their collection, presented here with a short bio. Elsewhere, such manifestations as described by the Steigers could also fall under the realm of what's discussed by Bruce Duensing in Part Three of The Afterlife of MemoryIn the wake of numerous previous news reports that made light of UFO sightings, the Mutual UFO Network appears to be uplifted by the professional journalistic demeanor of a senior reporter from Nevada television station KOLO-TV. Following recent reports to MUFON from the small, isolated Nevada town of Ely where multiple reports of UFOs have recently originated, MUFON dispatched an investigator and the television station dispatched senior reporter Ed Pierce to cover the story. With news video. Meanwhile, Billy Cox speaks out on the feebleness of a government response to Leslie Kean's six-year-old request for Freedom of Information Act release of some documents in NASA Still Mum on Kecksburg. Elsewhere, there's news from the Institute of Hispanic UFOlogy in Chile: Enigmatic Petroglyph Associated with UFO PresencePeru: The Piura LightsStephane Wuttunee discusses what he expects will happen among the people of the world when some important government leader, such as the President of the United States, discloses space aliens are here. And Wuttunee seems to think the important announcement will change very little in the lives of most people. Key quote: "(P)erhaps the most shocking realization we'll have in the post Disclosure world is seeing how many people there are who just...won't...care." Have nearly thirty years of alien representations in high dollar Hollywood productions, toymakers' products and brand names made us invulnerable to alien culture shock? There's more from Wuttunee, on a slightly different subject he began discussing with The Great Pyramid: Built to Represent the Human Body? A Fresh Perspective on an Old Dilemma on March 13, 2009. Wuttunee followed his first article on the subject with The Great Pyramid and the Holy Bible on July 31, 2009. Now comes the third and final instalment of Wuttunee's suppositions concerning the nature of manmade pyramids - or pyramids that may exist on other worlds - as seen in Seven Billion Pyramids: The Great Pyramid of Egypt's Most Disturbing Teachings. Do pyramids form a link between man and God?Abduction Happens Ventura County ReporterThe 4th Annual Ventura County (CA) UFO Festival takes place tomorrow and Sunday with speakers Robert Salas, Ann Druffell, Preston Dennett and Dr. Roger Leir speaking about "alien intentions, UFOs, nukes and coverups, unidentified submersible objects and alien implants." Event organizer is Sabrina Zan Ferris, an abduction experiencer who tells part of her abduction story in this press release. Elsewhere, Sean Casteel gives a glowing review to a new book from Alternate Perceptions' Brent Raynes in On the Edge of Reality, Dream Weavers: The Mastering of Time and Space. Does Raynes show a connection between Native American myth and UFO reality?Reliability in Old Reports The BlogsquatcherA researcher into the Bigfoot phenomenon, and the oft-reported case where UFOs and Bigfoot appeared almost simultaneously, gives several examples of reports that meet the critical parameters that make him believe the story, as well as those that don't. In each case the researcher, the Blogsquatcher himself, goes to great lengths to point out what makes these tales believable...or unbelievable. Meanwhile, a very useful sidebar provides a chronological series of articles from the files at this cryptozoological website that often digresses to consider other cases of high strangeness.Sungrazers Thunderbolts Picture of the DayIn the maverick science news of the day: Stephen Smith examines the claim by the Standard Model of planetary and interplanetary science that comets are dirty snowballs and their comas are a mix of dust and water forced from the cometary bodies by the solar wind as they approach the Sun. Despite close approaches to comets by exploratory probes launched to investigate the mysterious orbiters, scientists still seem to cling to the dirty snowball theory of comets. Smith points out predictions by Electric Universe theorist Wal Thornhill of the electric nature of comets that were proved true during the Deep Impact encounter with comet Tempel 1 in 2005. What does this electric effect bode for Earth? The answer could lie in the key quote: "Change in solar input and output can affect the environments of every body in (the solar system): weather, orbits, magnetic fields, and surface features. Climate change, for example, rather than being an anthropic phenomenon, is doubtless an aspect of the electrical connection between Earth, the Sun, and the galaxy." -

November 19The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) will set out in June of next year for the small island of Nikumaroro in the Pacific to follow up in their theory famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart and her navigator perished there after their disappearance 70 years ago. The island was never visited at the time of her disappearance despite indications from overflights that there was human habitation at the time. The publication of a new Earhart biography, The Thrill of It by author Susan Wels, brings out a little-known aspect of the aviatrix: she was a medium and had delivered a message to actress Mae West from West's deceased father. According to the biography, Earhart may have been in psychic contact with thousands of people after she came up missing, including contact with her husband George Putnam. Will the TIGHAR expedition confirm Earhart's final destination? Elsewhere, Marla Pena tells of her experiences with lucid dreaming and a frightening part of that sleep experience in KanashibariFollowing a $70M explosive event on the Moon's surface that detected water there - and supposedly uncovered large tunnels under the natural satellite's surface - Chris Holly begins to ask some questions about the venture. Why didn't the manned landings conduct a search for water? What are the mysterious structures some photos seem to show on the lunar surface? And what's the possibility of some sort of sub-surface activity on the Moon, given the presence of large tunnels leading beneath the satellite's scarred face? Elsewhere, the reports of water - and more exotic findings - on the Moon, as well as the Six Day War exploits of Uri Geller, the 11th paratrooper, writings of Philip K. Dick, the coming of the Messiah and a hit movie based on a curiously-titled book all come together in Peter Fotis Kapnistos' The Men Who Stare at ZygotesHillsborough's Cryptid: Dog, Baboon? CryptomundoCould a baboon spotted crossing a Tampa area street in Florida be the same animal photographed in a Tampa tree a few days ago? Hillsborough County law enforcement officers are trying to get to the bottom of the sightings, alarmed that a wild simian could be making its way through crowded neighborhoods full of children. With photos. Elsewhere, the dreaded creature from Latin American legend gets the once over from Dale Drinnon, with images, in Looking at the Chupacabra (Part One)Part Two.A Subtle Thumbprint of the UFOs? The Big StudyA new project that it's hoped will add to the understanding of the UFO phenomenon is presented in this posting. Granting that whoever or whatever is behind the UFO phenomenon has left a difficult trail to follow, presenting nothing "easy on which to base a 'science' of UFOs", a method of standardizing the various shapes of UFOs and the physical traces they would leave behind if they landed was needed. Enter Chicago businessman Fred Merritt whose systematic graph work breaking down the various UFO forms leads to some basic assumptions when the size and shape of a UFO are known from witness observations. Here Merritt's graph and known sightings are put together by The Professor. Does a pattern emerge? Elsewhere, plans for a presentation next fall on claims of UFO intervention with United States nuclear facilities have been released in Former U.S. Military Personnel to Discuss UFO Incursions at Nuclear Weapons Sites at the National Press Club. Meanwhile, Kentaro Mori updates a famous video in The Alien Interview.Mysterious Ailment Plagues Vallejo Woman Times-HeraldValerie Swanson of Vallejo, CA, has an unexplained condition, an ailment that's left her on disability, broke and fearing social contact. The ailment may be what is known as Morgellon's Disease, the diagnosis Swanson says most nearly matches her symptoms. Thousands of people have complained of Morgellons-like symptoms over the past decade, but a large number of physicians say the disease is all in the mind. If the condition is mental, how do so many people happen to be suffering from it at the same time?Spirit Confronts Paranormal Team at Historic Plantation Phantoms & MonstersBridget Gallagher of East Coast Anomaly Investigators might be forgiven for not wanting to return to Pennsylvania's Rock Ford Plantation where a recent investigation turned up an electric voice phenomenon (EVP) following Gallagher's questions trying to evoke a response from spirits thought to be haunting the location. The response was there, recorded on tape, and the message was life threatening.Book Review and Excerpt: Guided By Spirit Michael Prescott's BlogMichael Prescott reviews Guided By Spirit: A Journey into the Mind of the Medium by the husband and wife team of Charles and Penelope Emmons. Charles is a sociology and anthropology professor, and Penelope is a psychotherapist "who also works as a medium and has had a variety of paranormal experiences." While remarking on the differences between the two authors' perspectives regarding the subject at hand, Prescott points out the differences don't affect the coverage of their subject. Prescott presents an excerpt from the book entitled "Charlie's View." In the excerpt, Charles lays out his involvement in the various "perspectives: social/behavioral scientific, debunking, parapsychological, and spiritual." How does Professor Charles F. Emmons approach the skeptical perspective represented by debunking? -

November 18Strong odors are often reported during paranormal encounters. "From the smell of rotten eggs that sometimes marks spirit activity to the overwhelming odors of the skunk ape", paranormal studies are often closely wrapped up in the odors described by experiencers. Now comes news of temporal lobe maladies that could lead to these olfactory experiences as well as visual experiences. Does this mean paranormal events are all in the mind? That question is addressed by Stacy Horn in her article on the publication of a new magazine from the Society for Scientific Exploration, although the example Horn uses has to do with auditory hallucinations and how previous beliefs people who "heard voices" were mentally disturbed were overturned, as mentioned in a post about A New Magazine: EdgeScience. The first edition of this new magazine can be downloaded here for free!Witchcraft and Masculinity The Magonia BlogPeter Rogerson reviews Witchcraft and Masculinities in Early Modern Europe, edited by Alison Rowlands. Among the misconceptions that were recently set aright by academics who met at England's University of Exeter in April 2006 was the belief the witch trials conducted during the "early modern era" were evidence of a movement by patriarchical leaders against women. The problem with that assumption is that "20-25% of the victims of the witchcraft trials were men, and some places they were a majority." So what led to men being accused of witchcraft? Rogerson lists several possibilities.78-year-old Russ Sittloh of Madeira Beach, FL, says a "serpent-like" creature "at least 20 feet long" is occupying the canal behind his home. And he has photos and video to prove the creature's existence. Dubbed "Normandy Nessy" by Sittloh in honor of the road he lives on, the creature has been spotted six times. With photos and video. There's more video with Sittloh and his neighbors discussing the creature in Man Says Serpent in Florida Canal. Elsewhere, Cryptomundo has a report of a living fossil in First Baby Coelacanth Photos Taken.MUFON vs the Aliens - Who Won? UFO Media MattersJoseph Capp wonders what ever happened to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) "Ambient Monitoring Project" in which special recording devices were placed in the homes of people who claimed they were being abducted by extraterrestrals. According to Capp, MUFON says it doesn't have the money specialists require to analyze the data the project equipment has recorded. So why hasn't MUFON made the data public, allowing the public to make up its own collective mind about whether or not alien abductions were taking place in the homes of the unidentified subjects of the project? With video. Elsewhere, Kevin Randle has more on the new flap concerning a famous 1964 UFO incident in The Socorro UFO Landing Part 2, and there's a Who's Who of UFOlogy presented in Want to Understand UFOs?: Get to Know UFOlogy's Founders. -

November 17A programming note for the upcoming (Friday, November 20, 2009) airing of Angelia Joiner's The Joiner Report details the circumstances that led to Ray Stanford, former member of the National Investigating Committee for Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), filming some of the most compelling UFO evidence ever recorded. Longtime UFOlogist Frank Warren will guest host the program that airs at 7:00 p.m. PST. A short bio in this report gives the background of Stanford and his involvement in the investigation of the Socorro Incident, an encounter from 1964 that's back in the UFOlogy headlines after recent claims that the event was a hoax created by some vengeful college students from a nearby university. There's more on the famous encounter in The Socorro Incident: Artist's Conception of UFO Symbol on Craft Based on 6 Eyewitness Accounts. Meanwhile, in another programming note for an online broadcast available now, contactee/abductee David Huggins of Love in an Alien Purgatory: The Life and Fantastic Art of David Huggins and UFO researcher Jim Moseley, editor of Saucer Smear guest on The Paracast with hosts Gene Steinberg and David Biedny. You should note a frank discussion of Huggins' alleged sexual encounters with aliens is discussed in this online broadcast.Paranormal Journalism -- Week 2 Paranormal JournalismIn a quest to introduce some decorum to the reporting offered up concerning all things of a paranormal or high strangeness nature, author and teacher Jason Offutt has "Twenty-two reporting students on a quest for something spooky". Here are some of their reports concerning events of high strangeness involving everything from a Fender Stratocaster guitar, a Ouija board and a haunted graveyard to a case of synesthesia, a grandfather who wanted to bid farewell and several more true tales that are told in a professional manner unlike the reports found in today's media. Elsewhere, a practicing field investigator and paranormal reporter, Paul Dale Roberts, offers a trip on one of his investigations, complete with photos, in The Haunting Activities of a South Sacramento HomeCryptid Pygmy Hippo Shot in Oz CryptomundoPhotos accompany the story from Australia about the accidental shooting of an out-of-place pygmy hippopotamus by a hunter who mistook the animal for a very large wild hog. Two news stories describe the event, both noting that the animal, a native of Liberia and Nigeria in Africa, may have escaped five years ago from a wildlife sanctuary located 50 kilometers from the site where it was killed. But what about the other strange animals reportedly seen in the same area over the years? Meanwhile, a Florida news story makes its way to Cryptomundo in Mystery Cryptid Pic From Tampa. Elsewhere, reports of snakes reaching fantastic dimensions in the regions of the Amazonian jungles of South America continue to make the news, as seen in a November 13, 2009, newspaper report from Peru, translated at Bigsnakes.net: Giant Boa Frightens VillagersThe Art and Airships of Charles Dellschau The Magonia BlogUpon the 1923 death of Charles A. Dellschau, a Texas butcher who lived to age 92, his heirs discovered a curious series of notebooks filled with fantastic illustrations of flying machines and cryptic notes about a secret society of inventors known as "The Sonora Aero Club." Through the work of UFOlogist/graphic designer Peter Navarro and author/editor Dennis Crenshaw the works of Charles A. Dellschau, believed by many to be part and parcel of the 1890s airship flap that swept America, have come to light in the Anomalist Books release of The Secrets of Dellschau: The Sonora Aero Club and the Airships of the 1800s. Here Peter Rogerson reviews the efforts of Crenshaw and Navarro to make sense of the art works and writings of Dellschau, pointing out that the creation of Dellschau's images and writings took place over the last twenty years of his life as he sequestered himself in his attic and relived the memories of a time when he wove together fantastic tales for his children. Did Charles A. Dellschau drift into dementia over the last two decades of his life, producing illustrations now prized by art collectors, or did he provide details of a true secret society of inventors who produced the airships that fascinated readers of newspapers across North America over a century ago?Antimatter Lightning Discovered (On Earth!) The Daily GalaxyFrom today's maverick science dispatches: With a burst of enthusiasm as strong as the lightning bolts purported to have created "antimatter," Luke McKinney calls attention to what scientists are claiming is the mysterious presence of an equally mysterious phenomenon in the skies of Earth. The claim is that the "Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope was launched to examine the universe for the stupendously powerful processes that produce gamma ray bursts, from black hole jets to the effects of dark matter itself only to find blasts coming from behind it. From Earth." But the claim has been quickly answered by those who oppose the Standard Theory that speaks of "antimatter" and other exotic forms, as seen in Gamma Gamma Hey, an explanation of the Electric Universe take on the recent claim. Which claim is correct?New Mysteries of the Shroud Unveiled World Net DailyA new documentary is making the claim the Shroud of Turin, believed by many of the faithful to be the linen cloth that wrapped Christ's body after the crucifixion, shows the body that made the impressions on the cloth was in a state of weightlessness at the time. Was the impression made by a body in levitation? -

November 16The Lost Nation of Iynkicidu UFO DigestWith 168 books and over 2,000 articles to his credit since 1956, Brad Steiger surely has attained a stature that should make his examinations of the highly strange more openly regarded than the writings of a lesser researcher. So what are we to make of Steiger's presentation of the discovery of numerous out-of-place artifacts throughout North America, recovered from coal mines, Indian mounds, a basement, hillsides and farmers' fields. Could there have been an advanced civilization, the people of Iynkicidu, occupying North America 250 million years ago? Out-of-place artifacts aren't all that's been on the mind of the indefatigable Steiger, though, as you'll find in He Built a Railroad Empire by Listening to Spirits. Steiger tells of Arthur Stilwell and his spiritual advisers who helped him transform from a 15-year-old high school dropout into one of the world's wealthiest men.Ricky Wills Incredible Reincarnation Chris Holly's Paranormal WorldChris Holly recounts the story told to her by a British man who had no preconceived notions of reincarnation or past lives when he agreed to undergo hypnosis in search of some previous life. What Ricky Wills experienced while under hypnosis changed his present life and a trip to the cemetery where his previous self had been interred in 1892 led to a discovery Wills and others think proves his past life regression was a true event. What did Ricky Wills find in the grave of Edward Collins, a printer who died iin 1892 at the age of 34? With photo. Elsewhere, another case of past lives is presented in a YouTube video entitled Reincarnation Case of Artist Paul and Mette GauguinLonnie Zamora's UFO Photographed in Roswell a Month Earlier? The UFO ChroniclesThe continuing saga of the reality of the Socorro Incident of 1964 and the sighting of a UFO by New Mexico lawman Lonnie Zamora - or the hoaxing of the incident by some spirited college students of the day - is addressed in some new information. There's also speculation surrounding a newspaper report of the same era in Zamora UFO Lands in Montana?The Trial of the Century Intangible MaterialitySubtitled "The Mock Trial of a Phenomenon," this Bruce Duensing offering postulates a trial to ascertain the viability of the UFO phenomenon as a real part of the ongoing debate of mankind's uniqueness in the universe, considering the failure of the mainstream media to give the question its due. Key quote: "Is it time for this democratic end run for Ufology in order to declare its independence from the lack of representation by the media?" Meanwhile, we're left to speculate if such a trial would introduce the evidence presented in UFO Video and Photo from China Amazes ResearchersUFO Allegedly Zapping Statue of Jesus: Can This Video be Real?Television reporter Chris Papst interviews several Wisconsin residents who claim to have seen a towering creature, all covered with hair and sporting a wolflike visage. Among those Papst interviewed is Linda Godfrey, author of The Beast of Bray Road, who has been researching the reports of the creature or similar creatures for over 17 years. Video of an interview with Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources worker Steve Krueger, who had an encounter in November of 2006, is linked. Elsewhere, a different creature from a different state is the subject of Mothman's Legend Lives OnWith a blockbuster movie on the subject of the Mayan calendar end date of December 21, 2012, screening around the globe over the weekend, Larry Lowe addresses the excesses of the film (WARNING: Lowe describes the movie and its conclusion in detail and could possibly spoil it for you if you are planning on attending!) and reports on an upcoming event in Tempe, AZ, where a man Lowe describes as a "2012 prophet" will deliver a keynote lecture on the enigmatic date and the meaning of the date for the expansion of human consciousness. David Wilcock is the lecturer set to bring his take on the coming events to the Tempe audience. Lowe says Wilcock claims to be the reincarnation of mystic seer Edgar Cayce and will deliver a lecture on the coming convergence with his unique perspective. With movie trailer and a portion of a David Wilcock video recently presented on the SyFy Channel. Meanwhile, another movie making the rounds elicits Lesley Grey's comments found inTV Show V May Reflect Real UFOs, ET Visitors UFO DigestSteve Hammons looks at the popular ABC-TV program and wonders if some of its content may reflect real concerns about real visits from extraterrestrial entities. Along the way Hammons asks if the FBI, as portrayed in the show, is investigating real visits from space visitors and whether the program may be an effort to educate Americans to the possibility an extraterrestrial presence on Earth may soon be revealed. Elsewhere, film footage of a different kind - and reactions to the images from skeptics as well as UFO researchers - is the subject of the opinion piece UFO Debunkers and Fuzzy Footage by Michael Cohen. Is Cohen correct in his claim aliens are among us? Meanwhile, another article asks, UFO Skull Proof of Alien Visitation? -

November 15An Exclusive Interview with Andrew Collins Alternate PerceptionsBrent Raynes interviews the author of the new book Beneath the Pyramids, Andrew Collins, who claims to have discovered a massive system of caves beneath the Giza plateau of Egypt where the most famous of the Egyptian pyramids are found with the mysterious Sphinx and other structures. Raynes questions Collins on the reaction of the Egyptian Department of Antiquities to his report of the cave entrance and what Collins and his wife found there. In addition, Collins and Raynes delve into the possible connection between the extensive cave system, the existence of which has been denied by Dr. Zahi Hawass, head of the Department of Antiquities, and the visions of legendary seer Edgar Cayce. Cayce's 1925 "readings" suggesting the existence of what he called the "Hall of Records" beneath the Sphinx and its relationship to what Collins believes is the tomb of Hermes Trismegistus who supposedly supplied knowledge to mankind is also discussed. With link to Collins' website.The Socorro UFO Landing -- Part One A Different PerspectiveThe brouhaha over recent claims that the 1964 UFO event New Mexico police officer Lonnie Zamora reported near Socorro, NM, was a hoax perpetrated by students at nearby New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology receives an examination from Kevin Randle, author and longtime UFO researcher. Randle goes to great lengths to present the conclusions of such noted UFO investigators as Dr. J. Allen Hynek and others who could find no indication of a hoax. Elsewhere, historic UFO evidence from Europe is presented in Spain: The Saucers of Yesteryear. Meanwhile, a photograph that did turn out to be a hoax related to UFO research is revealed by Kentaro Mori, with photos, in Das April Fool AlienFrom the maverick science news of the day: The European Space Agency (ESA) comet chaser dubbed Rosetta sped by Earth Friday in a slingshot effect using Earth's gravity to give itself a boost in speed before winging off to complete its mission of rendezvousing with a comet. Rosetta has already made two "swingbys" of Earth for a speed boost, receiving a mysterious boost in speed in its 2005 approach, but experiencing no mysterious boost in velocity in 2007. Will analysis of the Friday swingby show the mysterious boost in speed again? What could explain the strange speed variations, not revealed in any current ESA or NASA physics program? Elsewhere, a skeptical attitude concerning the ancient art of locating underground water, and other subterranean items, leads "The Professor" to examine the art, following an unusual belief in the practice expressed by one of his even more skeptical friends, as noted, with many examples of the art, in Dowsing One Step Beyond2012 and the Coming Apocalypse The Paranormal PastorPastor Robin Swope chimes in on the fast approaching date many seem to think will mark the end of the world as we now know it. Key quote: "It seems as if someone flushed an M80 firecracker down the cosmic toilet and we are all waiting for the big explosion."
