Brent Swancer conducts us on a worldwide tour of UFO-weird. We agree with Brent that USOs merit more attention! Things get possibly even more outlandish with A Truly Surreal Alien Encounter in Germany and Mysterious Encounters and an Alien Contactee in Mexico. While one of these 1981 meet-ups seems a singular event and the other […]

Nick Redfern examines crop circle activity in Britain and the inherent strangeness that comes with them, concluding there’s something going on that does not involve ET joyriding in farmers’ fields.  And then there’s what’s inside the circles–like ABCs. Or Bigfoot. Ancient Sites and Weird Activity: Stones, Circles and Monsters in the U.K. relays incidents of […]

Brent Swancer is conducting a decade-by decade excursion through some aerial UFO antics, and in this installment he covers the beginnings of the “modern UFO era.” Accompanying some iconic UFO encounters here are a couple lesser-known, but still fascinating, ones. Skipping ahead to Bizarre Pilot UFO Encounters From the 1980s, we get some international cases […]

Brent Swancer’s been serving up lots of weird lately. This and The Strange Story of the “Alien Interview” Footage both have at least sociological and historical interest, however much one wants to invest in their reality. While the “Skinny Bob” clips are short, Brent’s discussion of “Area 51: The Alien Interview” is comprehensive enough that […]

Here he lists some U.S. concerns on that score and suggests the Majestic 12 documents may have had Kremlin oversight. But Nick has More on the Mystery and Matter of Russian Machinations and UFOs. Seems the Soviets were in the fake […]

Brent Swancer’s UFO-related human foibles anthology begins with this sad account of a couple caught up in a vortex of popular stupidity and government land-grabbing. Brent then takes us in his literary tardis back to The Strange Case of an Alien Cow Abduction and Mutilation in 1897. Jerry Clark’s expose is most likely true and […]

What we think about The Past–eons distant and historical–keeps getting confronted in surprising ways. Micah Hanks explains how one phenomenon astounded 19th-century minds–and to an extent remains perplexing. An unexpected find with far-reaching implications is that An Indigenous People in the Philippines Have the Most Denisovan DNA. More than countering the previous notion that Papua […]

Here’s a twist on Bigfoot that many of our readers have likely not heard of before. El Paso County, in Texas, is reputed to be home to the Horizon City Monster, a tall,  cave dwelling apelike creature with the same gift for disappearing as his traditional counterpart. Same howls too, apparently. For those who are […]

More on UFO history, courtesy of Nick Redfern. Nick attacks an historical “gap” in aerial weirdness, and just may push the advent of the MIB phenomenon back several decades. Nick then asks of The Space Brothers of the 1950s: Were They Russian Agents Promoting Communism in the U.S.? Check out his answer. (Note: The Adamski […]
