While mining Albert Rosales’ Humanoid Encounters series, Rich Reynolds came upon the Cape Girardeau, Missouri, crash-body-retrieval case from 1941. The photo supposedly snapped at the scene and the identity of its photographer get considerable treatment in the Paul Blake Smith book about the crash, but Smith asserts that many pictures were taken at the site […]

Albert Rosales has a huge catalogue of intriguing stories in the chronologically-ordered series Humanoid Encounters: The Others Amongst Us. Here Rich Reynolds ponders the possible meaning of all the human-“Other” intersections. Rich funnels the subject into a narrower focus in The Forest, UFOs and Albert Rosales Too. The sizable number of accounts involving woodland-frequenting aliens […]

Rich Reynolds and friends debate how far one can extrapolate from a sample of One (Earth-humans), in the sense of how “humanly similar” an intelligent extraterrestrial (or even ultraterrestrial) race would be, and what, indeed “intelligence” itself constitutes. Fun stuff, though in the absence of “certainty” perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to prepare for anything. Yet […]

Rich Reynolds calls for a cease-fire in attention to the Roswell UFO crash story, as retarding progress in a field he regards as seriously goofy anyway. Nick Redfern takes seriously what might at first glance surprise many–the notion that the late Charles Moore might have known more about “bodies” perhaps associated with the 1947 Roswell […]

This interesting post actually has two elements. First is a kind of practical argument that no UFO encounter absolutely “screams” for an extraterrestrial cause. Then there’s the Comments-based rumination on just how paltry and inconsequential we (or anybody else would, no matter how “hot” their technology and hopefully more importantly mental and perhaps spiritual development) […]

“UFOs tell us, I think, that our known reality consists of something more, something that indicates extra attention should be paid to outside-the-normal exigencies of our everyday lives.” This is perhaps the best observation in Rich Reynolds’ thoughtful outburst about what makes unidentified flying objects at once so mysterious and, perhaps, valuable to Anomalists everywhere. […]

Rich Reynolds compares Disclosure-seekers to the two characters in an absurdist play, hoping for an appearance that never happens. While we now imagine that cellphones might have solved their problem, ufologists have been predicting the Government would come clean since the play was first presented in 1953. Either Disclosure prophets will get it right someday […]

Rich Reynolds features a Jose Antonio Caravaca report about a stunning story Betty Hill related to Swedish researcher Clas Svahn, 26 years after her 1961 abduction experience. Betty once came into possession of remnants from an “exploded UFO,” and later buried them in her backyard just three days before she and husband Barney left for […]

Rich Reynolds links to an outstanding short study by Gilles Fernandez and then “pens” an even shorter piece on how personality dominates ufological discourse to the detriment of productive discussion. The Commenters mostly seem bent on proving out this observation, yet remain far more civil than occurs on other blogs, UFO-related or otherwise. Well, love […]

Rich Reynolds ponders the preponderance of creation myths that, if interpreted a certain way, might seem supportive of an “Ancient Astronaut” influence upon human development. It doesn’t require a “knowing” that ETs haven’t bothered us past or present to disbelieve these particular myths represent alien hijinks, but Rich has other speculations for their existence. With […]
