The conspiracies surrounding “super soldiers” are just as far-fetched as those involving secret space programs, at least to many people. In fact, these two theories are often closely linked for fairly obvious reasons. Running such programs without significant leaks would be nearly impossible. But what if these programs involved time travel, memory wiping, or even age reversal? Or if these missions occurred on another planet, perhaps even in another galaxy, in a different time?

Word has gotten around through social media that Nick Pope passed away yesterday in his home of Tucson, Arizona, in the company of his wife. He was just sixty years old, and had only recently revealed in February the news that he had been diagnosed with terminal esophageal cancer, which he was taking with great aplomb. After working for the British government as a civil servant for 21 years, Pope irrupted into the public UFO scene in the 1990s with the publication of his book ‘Open Skies, Closed Minds’, where he related his experience after being in charge of the…

“A brain biased toward seeing meaning rather than randomness is one of our greatest assets. The price we pay is occasionally connecting dots that don’t really belong together.”1 –Rob Brotherton For nearly a decade, a mysterious ailment known as “Havana Syndrome” has been portrayed as proof that American diplomats and intelligence officers have been attacked by a foreign adversary using a secret energy weapon. Few outlets have promoted this narrative more forcefully than the CBS television News Magazine 60 Minutes, which has presented the saga as a chilling geopolitical mystery. Yet after years of investigation, the U.S. intelligence community has concluded that…

There’s a kind of storytelling tariff that sci-fi thrillers pay: the alien has to be visually—and physiologically—“other.” The more it resembles us, the less it feels like an invasion, and the less it sells popcorn. So, filmmakers crank the dials. Alien is the perfect example: a creature engineered for maximum dread—extra jaws, parasitic reproduction, and even acid for blood, a brilliant idea because it turns injury into a terrifying weapon.
