Jason Colavito attacks Leslie Kean’s knowledge on the UFO subject. One hopes Jason’s own grasp of the history of UFO media coverage is more complete and nuanced than his simplistic presentation in this brief article. He might benefit from consulting UFOs and Government (Anomalist Books). Comparing with a broad brush events from 1947 up to […]

Jason Colavito threatens to lose interest in this “saga of dead cows and head bumps,” citing in particular the pseudo-dramatic unveiling of a neodymium magnet that was the premier episode’s cliffhanger conclusion. The next thing in this week’s episode after veneration of that “Sacred Object” was another such magnet being used in a “research demo” […]

Beginning with an obscenity about its opening, Jason Colavito doesn’t let up on the premiere of History’s new series on the controversial Utah ranch. Comparing it to a warmed-over and relocated The Curse of Oak Island doesn’t help those of us who weren’t infected by that show, but Jason’s points do get across. Miguel (Red […]

The key word in Jason’s essay is “claim”, since anyone can claim anything. Fortunately Mr. Colavito doesn’t need to make counter-claims, much like U.S. politics, but presents facts to call shenanigans on Dr. Rangan Ramakrishnan’s outrageous proposition. Plus there’s a bit of a schadenfreude-y giggle to be had as Ramakrishnan finds himself on the ropes. […]

It’s time for out-there assertions on ancient times, places, and gods. Jason Colavito ably dissects a set of assertions by Robert Schoch. Jason’s points about translation resonate. Atlantis pops up, of course, in Colavito’s discussion. Tristan Shaw takes us back before even Atlantis in The Disappearance of J.C. Brown, a Man Who Allegedly Found Lemurian […]

Jason Colavito counters Graham Hancock’s unfavorable reaction to criticisms in the latest issue of the Society for American Archaeology’s SAA Archaeological Record. Jason’s blog post references his own SAA Archaeological Record contribution “Whitewashing American History,” which may be the best thing this reader has read from him. Jason also mentions his upcoming book The Mound […]

Strange that skeptic Jason Colavito would mark this anniversary, since he has nothing nice to say either about Fort or anybody writing about him, but the title of his article is accurate and works to introduce this post about Fort’s groundbreaking book. In Vindication for the Damned: Why Fort’s Strange Philosophy Has Endured, Micah Hanks […]

Nathaniel Comfort’s got an article in the prestigious journal Nature concerning How Science has Shifted Our Sense of Identity. Steven Pinker does not like that piece, not just one bit. Jason Colavito notes both the Comfort piece and Pinker’s complaints. Colavito simplifies the philosophical and scientific points, noting that the histories of science and of […]

Historical researcher and skeptic Jason Colavito weighs in on Luis Elizondo’s latest statement about the public release of three F/A-18 UFO videos and Luis’ part in that process. Perhaps of more moment than the still-murky question of Mr. Elizondo’s precise position and outsider speculations upon the propriety of his actions is Jason’s headlining issue of […]

Troy discoverer Heinrich Schliemann must be turning over in his grave–or maybe not, as Jason Colavito is in his wheelhouse in this rejoinder to yet another relocation of a fabled yet potentially real ancient place or story. Colavito fairly demolishes the claims of one Bernard Jones through literary and historical arguments alone. Rest easy, Heinrich. […]
