Boeing Acknowledges Anti-Gravity Project – Right out of The Facade
Nick Cook, long time writer for the prestigious Jane's Defense Weekly and author of the book, The Hunt for Zero Point, has written a worthwhile essay on aerospace giant Boeing's recent admission it is working on anti-gravity. The piece begins: Boeing, the world’s...
Spinning “Posessed” Egyptian Statue Mystery Solved
Sorry, folks. Turns out the Egyptian statue that mysteriously rotates in its case isn't possessed. Nor does it contain mystical alien energy. Try and contain your surprise.
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...
Extraterrestrial Hippies? New Research on Egyptian Technology Tries to Get Noticed Online
A few days Biblical Archaeology Review (BAR) posted a link online to an article entitled, "Extraterrestrial Elements in Egyptian Equipment." Ancient astronaut believers (and Giorgio Tsoukalos' hairdresser) no doubt saw the title and got pretty excited about the...
100 Year Starship: DARPA Funding Warp Drive Propulsion Project
Popular Science recently published an article of interest to fans of UFO inquiry (and of course, The Facade). Although it's dated April 1, it's an article about a real event and real project. Here's the opening paragraph of the PopSci piece: Last September, a few...
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...
A Blow to Inter-Dimensional ETs?
I'm not sure if the death of the multi-verse theory described in this obituary is correct, or if correct, whether that kills off the possibility of any other universe (shy of all the layers of the multi-verse). I'm also not convinced that "other universe" is an...
More Journalistic Incompetence in Reporting on "ET DNA"
You may have heard about the recent NASA news conference. Apparently the people at the Examiner couldn't process the simple centerpiece of the new event. The Examiner is an online twaddle rag akin to the Weekly World News. Here's the Examiner's headline: DNA,...
Detection of ET Life: Consequences for Science, Society (and Religion)
This issue of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society is over a month old. I was holding it for a post but got side-tracked on other items. Several of the articles relate to the question of the impact of ET life on religion. I have screen-captured the...
Finally Something Paul Davies Wrote That Doesn't Make Me Cringe
Those of you who frequent this blog know that, on more than one occasion, I've wondered why anyone takes Paul Davies seriously when he writes anything pertaining to religion. Perhaps this is a sign of the impending apocalypse, but he's finally produced something that...
Physics, Cosmology, and Theistic Religion
Periodically on this blog I make note of theoretical physics and its implications for theism (better, it's support for theism). In that light, I want to draw your attention to two recent posts responding to a recent case made for how current views of cosmology...
Natural Wonders Mistaken for UFOs
This is a pretty sweet post from the Authentic UFO blog. I agree with the blogger that whoever put this together deserves kudos. Very nice presentation of cool natural wonders, some of which are confused for "paranormal" phenomena. I especially hope those who like to...
Why There is a Publishing Process Known as “Peer Review”
For all the ancient astronaut "researchers" out there - a wonderful illustration of why peer-review of your material is important (otherwise known as the nuttiness filter). Publisher's note: Adding in a resource here. I was at this presentation at DEF CON 26 and was...
Stone Masonry and Engineering at Machu Picchu: No Aliens Needed
Stone Masonry and Machu Picchu I recently received and email challenging me to produce a coherent explanation of the architecture and stonework of Machu Picchu and other megalithic sites. The questioner wanted to know how anyone else other than aliens could have...
