If you've been reading the comments to the posts I've written about Steven Greer's alleged six-inch alien specimen, you'll notice that several folks have presumed that the 9% unidentified DNA means the specimen is alien or an alien-human hybrid. That isn't the case....

Are We All Martians?
This notion has been around for a long time. I remember hearing Richard Hoagland say it many times on Coast to Coast AM. But now we have "science" (goofy face here) intervening. It was also a sub-plotline in The Facade. The Mysterious Universe blog recently posted an...
The Geo-Centric Universe: Yep, There are Still People Who Believe It
The Exposing Pseudoastronomy podcast devoted a recent episode to this long held myth. It's a classic mis-reading of the Bible, which never actually makes the claim, though church authorities of all stripes assumed it (assisted by "creatively" reading into the text)...
Robert Ripley: A More Honest Showman Than Steven Greer
I just blogged this over at UFO Religions so I thought I'd reproduce this here. >> In the latest twist to the Steven Greer ET disclosure shell game (hat tip to BK), Greg Newkirk of the Who Forted? blog and Lee Spiegel of the Huffington Post (photo credit for 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...
Atacama Human-Not-Alien Specimen Update
Thanks go to Cris Putnam for sending this link my way today. It's from the Stanford Daily . . . as in Stanford University . . . as in that place that employs Dr. Garry Nolan, the guy who did the DNA analysis of the Atacama "alien". The story once again has both Dr....
Steven Greer’s Non-Alien Human Corpse: A Mysterious Boondoggle is Still a Boondoggle
I saw this article today which I know will be of interest to everyone except those who still give Steven Greer the time of day: "Alien-Looking Skeleton Poses Medical Mystery." The short article is worth reading. The best part is the absolute confirmation, via DNA...
The Atacama Mummified Human Fetus … er, Alien
Yesterday I blogged about the upcoming Citizen's Hearing for Disclosure. Trust me when I say I'm hoping something substantive comes of it. Stephen Bassett has assembled a lot of people I'd consider credible (but I wouldn't say that about everyone on the witness list)....
Panspermia Junk Science
If intelligent design is junk science (as it is so often accused of being), then this absolutely qualifies as junk science: "ET Genetic Code May Be Found In Human DNA, According To Kazakhstan Scientists' Biological SETI Theory." But Mike, it's peer reviewed. And it's...
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...
Are We Martians? New Tool for Investigating that Idea Noticeably Hedges its Panspermia Bet
I just read this piece from the space.com website: "Are Earthlings from Mars?" The post begins this way: It's possible that the family tree of all life on Earth has its roots on Mars — and a new device could put that theory to the test in a few years, researchers say....
Betty Hill’s Star Map vs. Real Astronomy
From time to time I see the idea of actual intelligent ET visitation defended on the basis of the Betty and Barney Hill abduction -- specifically, on the basis of the "star map" that Betty Hill allegedly saw while on board the alien space ship during her abduction....
Immanuel Velikovsky Resources
Immanuel Velikovsky's name is, for many, synonymous with paleobabble. I can think of a few other candidates I'd move ahead of him for such an honor, but Velikovsky indeed belongs to the "modern classical period" of wacky stuff related to study of the ancient world....
More Functions for Junk DNA
In another blow to the "junk DNA is vestigial extraterrestrial DNA that proves aliens made us" buffoonery, Science Daily recently posted an overview of a new scientific paper in the peer-reviewed journal Genome Biology that demonstrates that junk DNA is (wait for it)...
Ancient Neolithic Tunnels: No Aliens Needed
You just have to check out this fascinating article: "Massive European network of Stone Age tunnels that weaves from Scotland to Turkey." Really cool. If you've ever visited underground caverns (or ridden a subway), you know that getting from Point A to Point B...
