    Gabe Valdez RIP

    Back in late-2009,  I traveled with good friend Greg Bishop to Angel Fire, New Mexico, where we were both due to speak at a conference in town – Greg on UFOs and me on Cryptozoology. Before heading out of Albuquerque for the gig, however, we met for…

    Contactees by Natecull via http://www.flickr.com/photos/natecull/325842400/

    An Early Contactee?

    Without doubt, the Contactee movement – and its attendant tales of close encounters with long-haired, peace-loving ”Space-Brothers” in the remote desert lands of California, USA - is one of the most controversial within the field of Ufology. And some might say: “Rightly so.” It’s worth noting, however, that Contactee-style encounters were…

    Space Shuttle Secrets

    At 11.39 a.m. Eastern-Standard-Time, on January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger suffered an unmitigated disaster only 73-seconds into its flight, disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean, and led to the tragic deaths of its seven crew-members: commander Dick Scobee, pilot Michael J. Smith, mission specialists Ronald McNair,…

    Early ESP and the U.S. Government

    Any mention of ESP and psychic-phenomena in connection with the activities of the U.S. Government is almost certain to provoke and guarantee commentary with respect to the ground-breaking “Remote-Viewing” work of the CIA, U.S. Army, and Defense Intelligence Agency from the early 1970s onwards. And rightly so, too….

    How old are the Men in Black?

    Now, by asking the question directly above, I’m not actually wondering if the MIB are in their 20s, 30s, or 40s etc! Rather, I’m pondering on this issue: for how long has the Men in Black phenomenon (or, perhaps, phenomena might be a far more accurate word to…

    A Monster of the Deep

    Stories of lake monsters and sea serpents have long held a particular appeal and fascination for me; indeed ever since I first traveled to Loch Ness, Scotland with my parents as a five-year-old. And so, I am always very pleased to be on the receiving end of…

    USSR 3333 - 10th Anniversary of the Flight of Sputnik by pdxjmorris via http://www.flickr.com/photos/austin80s/2293920174/

    Saucers and Sputnik

    Whether by accident or design, following the former Soviet Union’s successful launch of Sputnik 1 in October 1957, there was an immediate and dramatic upswing in the number of UFO encounters reported from within the borders of the USA. While those of a distinctly skeptical nature might very well give much…

    Forteana and Failing Cars

    Within the realm of Ufology, there is one particularly curious aspect of the subject that was far more prevalent in times-past than today – namely, that relative to so-called “vehicle interference.” Even the briefest perusal of various UFO publications – particularly those of the late-1950s, 60s and 70s – will…

    Werewolves on the Prowl

    Make any sort of mention of werewolves to most people and it will inevitably provoke imagery concerning – and commentary on – such movies as The Wolfman, Underworld, An American Werewolf in London; and The Howling. Entertaining on-screen fiction aside, however, what of werewolves in the real world? Most…

    Paranormal Obsessions

    For those of us that engage in research, studies, investigations and writing in the realm of what broadly passes for Forteana – Ufology, Cryptozoology, ghost-hunting and much more – it’s a pursuit that can be as mentally stimulating as it can be enlightening, challenging, and thought-provoking. But, there’s…
