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...

Part 2 of My Thoughts About a New Book on Triangular UFOs: Missing the Airbus
I'm nearly done with David Marler's new book Triangular UFOs: An Estimate of the Situation. In my preliminary thoughts about the book, I discussed the logical inadequacies of some of the assertions in the book's preface, written by Col. John B. Alexander. The gist of...
Thoughts on a New Book About Triangular UFOs, Part 1
I'm about a third of the way through the recently released book by David Marler, Triangular UFOs: An Estimate of the Situation. Despite what I'll say below, my feeling at this point is that this is an important book that anyone with an interest in UFOs should have....
Ancient Astronauts, Esotericism, and Utopian Politics
Jason Colavito has a short post on the relationship of these three areas of study that's a good interest-piquing piece if such connections are new to you. I can recommend it since it links ancient astronaut myths to utopian thinking on both sides of the political...
CIA, Mind Control, Alien Abduction: Addendum
I recently blogged about Jack Brewer's series on government mind controls programs and their potential overlap with alien abduction reports. As Facade readers know, mind control was one of the sub-threads in the novel. That previous post pointed readers to two posts...
Alien Abduction, Contact, and Mind Control
Jack Brewer over at The UFO Trail has begun a two-part series on the CIA's mind-control programs. UFO Religions readers (and Facade fans) will want to read Part One, along with an earlier essay on John Marks, the researcher who blew the lid off the secrecy. John Marks...
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...
Why Conspiracy Thinking Can Be So Incoherent
You just HAVE to watch the video below (7:00). It's clear and to the point, and you'll no doubt have a laugh or two - a video on how Luke Skywalker's destruction of the Death Star was *really* an inside job. It's very well done and has almost two million views on...
Citizen Hearing on UFO Disclosure
The indefatigable Stephen Bassett has come up with a new, creative idea to keep nudging American officialdom to disclosing its UFO secrets: a citizen hearing at the National Press Club, at which four former federal lawmakers will hear an anticipated 30 hours of UFO-...
Is FOIA a Run-Around?
Readers may find this short post by UFO and Roswell researcher Kevin Randle of interest. He shares his thoughts on the usefulness (or not) of FOIA requests (=Freedom of Information Act). In a nutshell, he describes his own FOIA circus experience when trying to get...
UFO Propaganda in Movies and TV Shows: Robbie Graham Interview
Jack Brewer of the excellent blog, The UFO Trail, recently interviewed Robbie Graham, who blogs at the fascinating Silver Screen Saucers. The thrust of the interview is that motion pictures and television have far greater potential to influence beliefs about UFOs and...
Jesus, Klingons, and DARPA
[Thanks to Cris for this link.] According to the Washington Post, the Pentagon apparently spent $100,000 for a workshop on interstellar space travel, which included a session that asked, "Did Jesus die for Klingons, too?" Taxpayers aren't thrilled, to say the least....
American UFO News of Interest
The National Archives recently de-classified records concerning a USAF project from the 1950s that aimed to build flying saucers. The schematic below is one of the pictures found at the above link. The project was known as "Project 1794." I've seen several posts on...
Another Air Force Roswell Explanation (If You Can Believe It)
I've lost track of how many times the USAF has explained what happened at Roswell. First there was the 1994-1995 War-and-Peace-like, 1000-page tome, "The Roswell Report: Fact versus Fiction in the New Mexico Desert." This was the report connecting the Roswell crash...
Eisenhower and ET Myth
The Huffington Post recently blessed ET religious believers with this piece of mythology. The story ( and that's all that it is, a fairy tale) that President Eisenhower met with extraterrestrials during his term. Here's the reality: the whole idea is based on...
