Another blow to the faith of thousands.

Tunguska: Mythology Versus Science
Readers conversant in UFO lore will recall that the 1908 Tunguska event has not escaped the "UFOs are the key to the theory of everything" mindset that infects many in the ufological community. While scientists have opted for mundane explanations for the event, like...
Review of Mirage Men
I just finished reading Mark Pilkington's recent book, Mirage Men: An Adventure into Paranoia, Espionage, Psychological Warfare, and UFOs. Nick Redfern called the book "one of the most important UFO-themed books you'll ever read . . . Those for whom Ufology is a...
Australian Teen Claims Video of Alien
I normally don't blog on this sort of thing, but the video below produces a teachable moment -- or, better, a logic check. Try and set aside the fact that there's some sort of light coming from the location of the "alien" (which looks too good to be true) that seems...
UFO Descriptions Evolve Over Time With Technological Change
That's one good reason to conclude we aren't dealing with alien visitors. Think about it. If aliens were really visiting the planet during the last 100 years, would their craft really evolve from propeller-powered dirigibles to anti-gravity? Wouldn't they have had the...
The Famous UFO Photo of the 1952 Saucer Formation Over Washington DC Capital: Fraud
This post over at Blue Blurry Lines is a must-read (and must-see visuals) for anyone interested in UFOs. It's pretty conclusive proof that the photo is real, but has misunderstood and misused. Here's the photo (just as you'll usually see it):
Fake 2011 Video of UFO Over Dome of the Rock on the Jerusalem Temple Mount is Still Fake
Breaking news ... Sigh. Please don't send this to me or post it on social media where I'll see it. It's fake, folks. Here's the video. Watch it and you'll see something very odd (not the "UFO") that tells you it's a fake: What's the tell-tale sign? The star-shaped...
UFO Hoaxing Round-Up
I recently found an article on how the recent YouTube Ad / Monetization policies have rocked the "Secure Team 10" UFO Hoax site and came across a list of "related links" that was too interesting to pass up. Seems the UFO Hoaxing community (and those who vigilantly...
Navy Arctic UFO Photos from 1971: An Open Minds Report
I highly recommend watching this Open Minds TV report. This is what's supposed to happen with such things -- people doing real investigative work. Here are some of the photos. They are indeed stunning, but most likely not extraterrestrial. Presuming you watched the...
Recent Loch Ness UFO Photo Analyzed and Debunked in Detail
Yes, you heard that correctly -- "Loch Ness" and "UFO" in the same sentence. The photograph is below, with a close-up (both via the Huff Post): Here's the analysis -- someone with obvious experience in photography and these sorts of "effects" on photos. Quite...
First Generation Space Shuttle Looked like a Small Triangle / Cigar-Shaped UFO
No surprise here.
Calling Colonel Alexander! More Triangular Craft That Don’t Exist, So They Can’t Explain Triangular UFOs
Hat tip to Jack Brewer and the APR (Aerospace Projects Review) blog for this link (with specs and diagrams) of U.S. bomber projects that, well, look pretty triangular to me. The APR blog has of course also chimed in on the recent triangle craft sighting in Wichita,...
UFO Sightings and the Appeal to Ignorance
I came across a wonderful book today that I'm recommending to all who want to think clearly: An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments. The book teaches sound logical reasoning by illustrating flawed logic. Here's an example that is ubiquitous within the ufological...
Is Eyewitness Testimony of UFOs Evidence They are Alien in Origin?
Think about the title to this post. It doesn't assert that all or even most UFO witnesses are liars. It doesn't say they are cranks, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or otherwise buffoonish. In my experience, people who report UFOs are anything but. What the...
Baltic Sea “UFO” Looking a Lot Less Like a UFO
The UK Mail Online posted an update on the so-called "Baltic UFO" a few days ago. I'd encourage readers to check it out, as the update includes pictures of sonar scans. The article theorizes that the object may in fact be a secret Nazi undersea submarine defense. If...
