“When you get to the end of all the light you know and it’s time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.” – Edward Teller

For more than 70 years, the greatest mystery of Amelia Earhart’s disappearance has been why she was never found. In June, TIGHAR the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, will set forth on their eighth expedition to the tiny island of Nikumaroro to find DNA and/or other conclusive proof of their theory that Earhart and her navigator crashed and later died there.

Now it seems that even if the get the proof they seek, it won’t answer the other perhaps even more haunting mystery of Amelia Earhart’s last hours. Earhart didn’t want it publicized, but she possessed a remarkable psychic gift, which is examined in the new book biography, The Thrill of It. Author Susan Wels told Public Radio’s Forum that Earhart was a medium who used the table tipping method to communicate with the spirit world During one seance she delivered a message to actress Mae West from her deceased father. West later wrote about the experience in her book “On Sex, Health and ESP” and also spoke of it in a Life magazine interview. She said Earhart had a strong ESP ability that she witnessed on several occasions.

Earlier this week, we reported that billionaire aerospace magnet Robert Bigelow had funded a rapid response team for MUFON.  This week his new(ish) firm Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) has purchased the Houston, British Columbia, Canada UFO (HBCC UFO) websites.  Here’s the announcement on the website, which is a repository for eyewitness accounts of UFO sightings from around the world:

“Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS), administered by Robert T. Bigelow, has purchased the HBCC UFO websites. BAASS will investigate, analyze and periodically publish updates of UAP cases that the public submits. Please continue to serve our community well and support the HBCC UFO websites by submitting your reports as you have in the past”

The domain names of the four websites were put up for sale for $800.00 by their owner Brian Vike who retired from the UFO business in June citing his family and his health as reasons for his retirement.  In one of his final posts on his personal blog, The Vike Factor, Into the Paranormal, he offers a history of his personal experience with UFOs, MIB, and other unexplained phenomena that began at age one and continue throughout until today.

Unfortunately Aaron was interstate last week so I eventually decided to save our stories and talking points for this week’s episode. A solo episode was on the drawing board at one stage but got scrapped after a busy end of week, and a complete re-arrangement of our recording space (and gear list).

We are still waiting on our Ready Traps to acoustically treat our new recording space. So don’t be surprised if the show sounds a little “roomy” on our next episode. Needless to say there will be lots to cover on episode 11 so expect a big one this week.

In other news our new online store went live last week selling the 8GB Season 1 USB Sticks. They are selling fast so order now to avoid missing out. We are really pleased with Storenvy’s new system as it enables us to store our stock in Florida, and offer faster, cheaper shipping for everybody.

A short run of Mysterious Universe T-Shirts should be available this month and we are also looking to commission designers for Mysterious Universe themed designs. If you’re interested in designing a shirt don’t hesitate to get in touch with us via our feedback email.
