A misconduct hearing that has heard details of a blog run by North Wales design and technology teacher Alex Price has been adjourned, meaning he will have to wait to hear if he has been struck off.

Geologist and “America Unearthed” tv host Wolter made this surprising assertion during a recent Jimmy Church interview, according to Jason Colavito. Jason adds: “Wolter said that while he had no background in ufology or ancient astronaut theory, he would pick it up quickly.” Good luck with that. Wolter drops in around 34 1/2 minutes into […]

The always thoughtful Michael Prescott wonders how mediums are able to produce “strongly evidential information under conditions designed to prevent cheating.” The likeliest of three scenarios, he concludes “is one in which a nonphysical matrix of information, constructed over the course of a lifetime of experience, persists after physical death.” But throwing a monkey wrench […]

Health issues are forcing Hakan Blomqvist to scale back his blog articles. This unfortunate news is accompanied by an updated “position statement” about an Esoteric Tradition explaining the “multiverse” and indeed much of the UFO experience, particularly pertaining to Contact accounts. It’s also worth reviewing Hakan’s 2015 version of What I Have Been Trying to […]

Jason Colavito has a strong point of view, but his remarks on the headlined discussion seem reasonable, most especially on the alleged contention that 5th-century BC Athenian Bad Boy Alcibiades was attacked for specifically drinking a supposed psychedelic during his profanation of the Eleusinian Mysteries. Ages far more remote are producing discovery and debate, as […]

Jason Colavito analyzes yet another book by Swiss author Erich von Daniken, released in German two years ago. Jason details a series of logical errors, translation bobbles, historical fallacies, and what he terms outright lies in the work. Nigel Watson’s Not Coming In From The Cold is only somewhat less antipathetic to Roswell: The Ultimate […]

A look at UFO personalities past and present commences with the important labors of AFU-Sweden in rescuing the work and archives of ufologists from loss to history. A bit of the personalities involved appears here, but more particularly in A Letter to Lynn Catoe, January 29, 1968. This John Keel note gives insight into some […]

Most of this remarkable essay is a deep analysis of how a very much misunderstood classic Hollywood movie finally came to be recognized–still only “sort of”–for what it portrayed. Jason Colavito’s inaugural “Long Form” series offering will be a tough act for him to follow. It makes solid points about how changing mores in society […]

Beachcombing takes us back to 1857 and “fortune-tellers and their dupes,” focussing on The Manx Wizard (presumably, though not mentioned, because he was a “Manxman,” i.e. from the Isle of Man) and his advice to the love-lorn. At around the same time, Liverpool’s near-neighbor had its own weirdness in the shape of Nut Nans, boggarts […]
