Knowing local agencies respond better to FOIAs than do major governmental units, retired police officer Tim McMillan provides and analyzes a two-page “Agency Assist” report from the Laingsburg, Michigan, police department. This concerns a raid by the FBI and other departments on the United Nuclear Scientific business of famed Area 51 whistleblower Bob Lazar. It’s unlikely the raid related to Lazar’s controversial UFO claims, and it most likely was connected to the appalling 2015 murder of a young Upper Peninsula woman. We’re not sure why the Daily Mail is bringing this next story up now, but it’s published a typically-interminably-headlined article entitled ‘Area 51: An Uncensored History’: Journalist Shares Photos Connected to the Infamous Roswell UFO Incident of 1947 as She Claims it was Hoax Designed by Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin. But the article introduces, to those unaware of them, Annie Jacobsen’s 2012 book and its controversial “takes” on both the secretive Nevada base and the almost mythical-1947 crash of “something” in New Mexico. And if that doesn’t push the oddity scale, how about a Man Busted for Shooting Gun at Fireflies Mistaken for ‘Alien Lasers’. Tim Binnall has the dirt on this weird story. But a major business organization believes unusual beliefs can make money, as Nike Releases Flat Earther’s UFO and Illuminati-Themed Shoes on 4/20. Brett Tingley relates how pro basketball luminary Kyrie Irving’s latest sneaker version goes “to the stars” for its inspiration. (WM)
