This weekend’s Plus+ exclusive features Skinwalkers appearing on a Navajo reservation followed by a junior sasquatch sighted close by. Is there a link between the two, and who keeps stealing all the cat food?
We also discuss the new interview with Richard Hoagland and Steven Greer, and recent interviews with Russian Cosmonauts on the psychological stresses of life in space.

Only hours ago, I was wrapping up a radio appearance with Nick Redfern and Raven Meindel on their program “Exploring All Realms.” During the show, my friends and interviewers-for-the-evening were asking a variety of insightful questions about every manner of unusual strangeness, which becomes rather usual as I recount it on this blog. Among the subject matter addressed, at one point we discussed some of the otherworldly and nearly dreamlike descriptions of alien abduction described over the last several decades.
I have long felt that there is more to the alien abduction phenomenon than meets the eye, and though it may not be fair to completely dismiss the tangible aspects of what abductees relate, it would be silly to discount the less-tangible elements that begin to emerge with some consistency when studying the available literature. Many abductees report strange, archetypical imagery in their experiences, such as Betty Andreason’s encounter with an enormous, smoldering phoenix that spoke of itself with Christian overtones, or the appearances of certain animals, as reported by Whitley Streiber. Another grouping of experiences that also bear similarities to UFO abductions are the wide varieties of mystical states of altered consciousness, such as out of body experiences and, namely, sleep paralysis.

This week we are joined by Ben Abba to discuss his upcoming book which details his interviews with a man he believes is over 2500 years old.
Could the existence of this “immortal” possibly be true? What would you ask a man who has lived since the dawn of civilization?
We also look at reports of the Houston “Batman” and return to a classic alien abduction/murder in the UK.

I love the way UFO believers are so often portrayed as crazies. To be fair, however, the sort of skeptics who end up blasting the UFO buffs with proverbial napalm don’t always write for Skeptical Enquirer magazine (which, to the contrary, often provides very illuminating commentary on paranormal events), nor do they necessarily appear on UFO programs along with the other “crazies” merely to debunk the claims of these supposedly deranged individuals.
Perhaps what’s most interesting is that many of the “so-called skeptics” also recoil in shock and awe when confronted with information that actually does defy logic… and which defy their hopelessly limited hypotheses (i.e. “the witness had been mistaking the large moving object for planet Jupiter”).
As a skeptically-minded, but reasonably positioned individual myself, I can attest to a certain thrill I get when the occasional story does leave me baffled by its credibility. Along these lines, a recent article at the Cracked Magazine website titled “5 UFO Sightings That Even Non-Crazy People Find Creepy” begins with the a pretty typical warning to its readers who seek to enjoy UFO phenomenon: “You’re about to be drowned in sensationalist books and blogs from UFO enthusiasts who declare every blinking light in the sky to be the opening scenes of Independence Day,” noting how “It’s no coincidence that so many people who encounter UFOs also really want to believe in them.”
Though, as stated previously, I consider myself skeptically-minded, it still rubs me the wrong way when each and every instance of Ufological weirdness is branded as the resulting ravings of a fringe-lunatic wired on years of unrestrained gullibility. Granted, for a magazine like Cracked, I would also expect a bit of hilarity–if not downright cynicism–with interest in providing comic relief; hence, I elected to read on with certain measured haste.
Arguably, one of my favorite scenes from the 1997 film Men in Black involved Tommy Lee Jones popping an Elvis Presley eight-track cassette into the dash of a high-tech alien-mod vehicle he and Will Smith are blazing along in. When Smith chides him about whether he knows Elvis is dead, Jones’ character merely replies, “he’s not dead, he just went home.”
Fast forward to the present. Whether or not Elvis died, was abducted by aliens, or as Tommy Lee Jones suggested, was an alien himself, it seems that Elvis sightings still occur to this day. What is without question, however, is the fact that the King of Rock n’ Roll did in fact have an interest in whether we were visited by brothers from another space-mother.
After some fresh UFO sightings, including a flying snake like object, we try and decipher a few complicated stories.
The first is the sad tale of 6 dead Egyptians and their misguided quest for the Hall of Records and Atlantean artifacts. The second is an incredible MILAB facilitated by Greys, that includes details of mind control programs, underground bases, and ET-Human co-operation and deception.
