Here's another article that I think we can all benefit from in some respects. Some of it is material I've already blogged about, but other parts are items I've not yet commented on. It's a good instance of current scholars thinking about the issue of the interface of...

Short Article on Sleep Paralysis
It starts about half way down the page at this link. Personally, I think it is very likely that sleep paralysis explains a lot of "abduction" experiences. Anyone acquainted with the literature, though, will know it doesn't explain many experiences, though. Editor's...
Articles 8 Through 14 from Psychological Inquiry
Here are the rest of the articles: 8. Alleged Alien Abductions: False Memories, Hypnosis, and Fantasy Proneness. By: Lynn, Steven Jay; Kirsch, Irving I.. Psychological Inquiry, 1996, Vol. 7 Issue 2, p151, 5p; Abstract Comments on the article 'Toward an Explanation of...
Newly Discovered “Gigantic” Previously Unknown Type of Human Isn’t a Nephilim
The title of this post is kind of clunky, but necessary. When I first heard this news about a week ago, my immediate thought was "How long will it take for someone to email me that this specimen is from the nephilim?" I now have my answer. This morning my email box...
Gene Editing on Demand (“Eugenics for Everyone”)
What could go wrong? Maybe Planned Parenthood will want in on this. Or not. It means babies being born. My bad. And another one: Progressive Eugenics Is Hardly History–the Science and Politics Have Just Evolved
This is What Encourages “Truth by Anomaly and Outlier” Thinking
I've blogged about the problem of how the peer review process in the sciences has been compromised by laziness and money. Here we go again: "Sting Operation Reveals Science's Insane Fake News Problem." As the article's author notes by way of explaining his title: This...
Those Alleged Human Footprints Mixed with Dinosaur Tracks in Paluxy, TX
I came across this well written essay today on the Paluxy River foot prints. For those who've never heard of them, the site purportedly shows evidence (via co-mingled foot prints and dinosaur tracks) that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time. Consequently, it...
The Betty and Barney Hill Case: More Reasons to Disbelieve
Robert Schaeffer's recent post on the Hill case is worth a close read: Dr. Simon Reveals his Real Thoughts on the Hill "UFO Abduction" Case. In the post Schaeffer provides new documentation as to the inconsistencies of the Hill testimony, including evidence that the...
Has NASA Successfully Tested a Warp Drive?
That's the question raised in this article. And no, it's not from a hair-brained source. There appears to be something to it (presuming the report is accurate that some of the chat comes from NASA engineers), though the testing has not been verified. This possibility...
Quadrocopters as Mistaken UFOs
Stuart Robbins has an interesting post about how quadrocopters can (and have been) mistaken for UFOs. In case you're not familiar with quadrocopters, here are some YouTube videos:
Non Sequitur Thinking in Science – It’s a Problem There, Too.
Mostly in popular science, but not exclusively. I thought I'd post here on this because I tend to go after this issue most of the time over at PaleoBabble. But it's an issue here. The most exotic context for this is, of course, the "That technology is beyond what we...
Has a UK Scientist Discovered Extraterrestrial Life?
The news of the recent experiment by Prof. Milton Wainwright of the University of Sheffield has been making news of late. In case you haven't read about it, here's a synopsis of the experiment (from the provided link) and why it has garnered interest: British...
Element 115 “Discovered” (?)
For readers of The Facade, this recent story from Science Daily will sound very familiar. [Hat tip to Carl for alerting me to the link.] In my novel, the UFOs at AREA-51 were powered by Element 115, which was unknown to the outside world. That idea (also know to...
Is MUFON a Sham? Must it Be?
These are two fundamental questions that arise as one reads the recent two-part series by Jack Brewer of The UFO Trail entitled, "MUFON, Science, and Deception." Jack describes the goal of these pieces as "a two-part post exploring recent MUFON history and...
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...
