In honor of the 57th Anniversary of a truly “classic” case, I am posting an analysis from my book UFO Sightings (Prometheus Books, 1998). This analysis was first published in my 1981 book The UFO Verdict (also Prometheus, which can be “borrowed” online from the Internet Archive library), and was republished with only minor additions and updates.In the late 1970s I made a very Deep Dive into this case, which was being promoted big-time. Here is the result.  A Flying Saucer Named Floyd We now turn to the story of a famous flying saucer whose name is Floyd. Very few flying…

This is a tiny ray of light in what has been a gloomy year for science-based federal health policy. Recently U.S. District Court Judge Brian Murphy in Boston ruled that the actions of RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary to fire the entire Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) did not follow procedure and is therefore not valid. Further, he concluded that the new ACIP, packed with anti-vaxxers, made capricious and arbitrary decisions that did not follow established science-based procedure. His ruling is a preliminary injunction that has delayed meetings of the ACIP and stays the revised vaccine schedule. The ruling…

Can a place be evil? Is it possible for so many atrocities and death and anguish to seep into a place and permeate in to the point that it actually becomes, in a sense, malevolent? Throughout history, there have been those places around which orbit murder, suffering, and grotesqueries to the point that they are saturated with evil, and in many cases, these places are haunted, cursed, or both. These are some of those places. Source link

Those who follow developments in UFOdumb are probably familiar with the book Trinity, The Best-Kept Secret, self-published by Paola Harris and Jacques Vallee. I wrote only a little about it early last year. It’s the story of a supposed saucer crash in New Mexico in August, 1945 not far from the site of the Trinity nuclear test, the world’s first. It’s primarily based on the accounts of two young boys who supposedly witnessed the saucer crash, saw still-living aliens, and then watched as the army carried it all off. The Second EditionPaola Harris and Jacques Vallee   When the book was first…

In a nation divided over war, immigration, elections and shutdowns, it took the Artemis II moon mission to unify Americans, if only for a few spins of the Earth. Source link

UK warship HMS Dragon has been forced to withdraw in order to be repaired at port after experiencing issues with its fresh water supplies. HMS Dragon had been deployed to the Middle East to help defend RAF Akrotiri during the Iran conflict. The MoD insists HMS Dragon was always due for a logistics stop at this stage in deployment but a “minor technical issue” with the onboard water systems will be fixed as part of it. Just another reason for Argentina to strike now & take the Falklands. The Allied naval forces have had a raft of issues.Laundry fires, clogged…

Nick Tilsen has been under indictment for six of the eight years that his organization has existed. The founder and CEO of NDN Collective, a Rapid City-based organization dedicated to building Indigenous power, Tilsen explains it this way: “They’re threatened. They’re not used to Indian people being able to fight back in their systems,” referring most recently to his time in a South Dakota courtroom earlier this year.

As my mother lay dying in the hospital, her eyes tired and her breathing labored, she told me that she had loved watching movies with my brother and me.  She said, in the days before her death from cancer at 79 in September 2023, other things to me, too, but not as many as one might expect. She was the most loving of mothers, but she sometimes struggled to express her feelings plainly. To do so at the 11th hour would not only have represented a reversal of a lifetime of her habits but, for her, a grim confirmation of…

President Donald Trump praised the rescue of two U.S. service members and declared victory in the war with Iran, while also threatening to take out the country’s civilian infrastructure if the countries don’t reach a deal by April 7 that includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said April 6 at the White House that the U.S. has a plan in which “every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o’clock tomorrow night (and) every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding and never to be used again.” He added: “We don’t want that to…

An 18-year-old college freshman was blinded in his right eye by a federal agent during the Los Angeles “No Kings” protest on March 28.  Tucker Collins, who is studying astronautical engineering with a minor in cinematic arts at the University of Southern California, was documenting the rally protesting policies implemented under President Donald Trump near the Metropolitan Detention Center, where immigration detainees are held. Video of the incident shared by Collins’ attorney, V. James DeSimone, shows a crowd of people separated from agents by a tall black fence surrounding the facility. Collins can be seen holding his phone and filming…
