I've been on three talk shows in the last week or so (Skywatchers Radio, Coast to Coast AM, and Dark Grand Conspiracy). On two of them the Majestic Documents got a good bit of air time. The discussion prompted me to clog some resources related to the Majestic...
ExoPolitics & Disclosure
True Conspiracy Theories
I'd like to direct readers to another compelling piece by Jack Brewer over at the UFO Trail. This one is about conspiracy theories that are demonstrably not theoretical -- they're real. Naturally, I have some (post-Portent: subliminal plug) thoughts. Jack's focus is...
MJ-12—The Hoax That Quickly Became a Disinformation Operation
That's the title of an essay by Robert Hastings. It's well worth the read, as it does more than beat a dead horse. It has a number of salient details that should convince any clear-thinking person that the Majestic documents should not be trusted. This paragraph...
That NY Times / Department of Defense UFO Video Story … Unraveling?
You have to wonder after reading this essay at Wired.com: "What is Up with those Pentagon UFO Videos?" The article basically traces the history of the videos that accompanied the now famous NT Times article about a secret government program investigating UFOs (the...
On Those “Alien Alloys” Noted in the NYT Report on the DOD UFO Program
Here's an interesting piece from Scientific American (SA) on one point of the UFO story of a week or so ago from the New York Times. The claim SA is objecting to is this one: "In a group of buildings in Las Vegas, the government stockpiles alloys and other materials...
Former Pentagon Aerospace ID Director: Some UFOs Still “Defy Explanation”
Precisely. As illustrated by one of the best scenes in X-Files history: Here's the article from the Daily Beast.
True Lies: The Reality of UFO Deception
Jack Brewer recently posted a short, cogent essay defending the reality of UFO "mirage men" -- government disinformation agents whose work propelled (propels?) UFO interest and inquiry in decades gone by. His post most immediately defends the perspective of James...
Steven Greer Supporters ‘Siriusly’ Angry at Steven Greer
Well, DUH. This is what happens when you promote the work of a charlatan. Cris Putnam has posted a list of the Top Ten Comments posted online about Steven Greer's Sirius film. It's worth a read, unless you've worshipped at Greer's altar for his version of UFO...
Mirage Men Trailer
I wasn't aware that the Mirage Men, a book I reviewed here some months ago, was being made into a documentary film. I liked the book, so hopefully the film will be well done. Here's a look at the recently released teaser-trailer. Editor's note: broken link to the...
Tom DeLonge: Stop the Madness
Robert Sheaffer has another funny-but-sad essay on the antics of Tom DeLonge, he of Blink182 fame (I confess to not knowing anything about the group, but it helps with Google search results so there it is). Sheaffer chronicles some fake photos and such that DeLonge...
The FBI, the Science Fiction Writer, and the ET Hypothesis for Flying Saucers
Jason Colavito has written a fascinating post entitled, "Documents Detail the FBI's Theory That Science Fiction Editor Ray Palmer Helped Create the Flying Saucer Myth." It's well worth your time. No one would deny that, in the mid-20th century, there were many...
Project Pandora and the MJ-12 Eisenhower Briefing Document
Today Nick Redfern posted an item of interest involving MJ-12 and the so-called Majestic Documents. Nick discovered a de-classified document on the Department of Defense's website that dealt with Project Pandora, a CIA-funded effort that, as Nick notes, focused (in...
Majestic-12 Debunking by Prominent Ufologists: 30 Years’ Looking Back
Respected ufologist Robert Hastings has a nice summary of the research within the UFO community debunking the Majestic-12 documents and the conspiracy narrative that goes with them. It's an excellent set of links on what's wrong with the Majestic-12 documents. Readers...
What Do UFOs Have to do with Animal Planet?
After watching this past week's Animal Planet show, "Uncovering Aliens," I'm still without an answer -- other than ratings. At any rate, I watched to see my friend Derrel Sims. It was fun to see him on TV. But I confess I had to roll my eyes in several places. Two...
$52.6 Billion = U.S. Black Budget
The Washington Post has published a Black Budget summary, complete with dollar distribution among U.S. agencies and project category expenditures. I highly recommend the link - and clicking on the interactive Black Budget display on the Post's site. It's pretty cool...
