PDFs of CIA’s Stargate Program Documentation
I recently came across the effort of Isaac Koi to make the 92,000+ pages of documentation on the CIA's Stargate program accessible. You should all know about this resource. The Stargate program was the government's remote viewing research/program. It's not about...
Mothman and Soldier of Fortune
I presume many readers have already heard of this, but in case not, I though it was worth a link. Writing on Cryptzoonews.com, Loren Coleman, well known for his work in cryptozoology, writes: The February 2014 issue Soldier of Fortune contains an article entitled “UFO...
Hypnotic Regression: A Critique
I'm still getting caught up on some items I want to make sure readers know about after my recent "finish The Portent draft or die" session of the last two weeks. A couple days ago I directed readers to Jack Brewer's UFO Trail about true conspiracy theories. I have one...
Theses and Dissertations on UFO-Related Topics

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...
Myth and Mystery of UFOs: A Review
I just finished Thomas Bullard's book, The Myth and Mystery of UFOs, by scholar-folklorist Thomas Bullard (University of Kansas Press, 2010). Rather than write my own review, I found the work summarized nicely in this review over at Magonia review of books blog. I'll...

The Magonia Blog posted a review today on an important new book by Jacques Vallee and Chris Aubeck entitled, Wonders in the Sky: Unexplained Aerial Objects from Antiquity to Modern Times, and Their Impact on Human Culture, History and Belief (Tarcher/Penguin, 2010)....
Jacques Vallee on Crop Circles
Many readers will know that Vallee has commented on crop circles before. This offering, however, is new. While Vallee cannot prove his thesis with the kind of empirical power we'd like to see, his thinking on this odd phenomena is worth reading. In my view, any ET...
Night Terrors and Sleep Paralysis
Nick Redfern recently posted something on night terrors put together by Tim Binnall. Interesting reading, but there was a curious omission. Binnall's work (at least in this installment) neglects to mention the major scholarly work on night terrors and its relation...
