I’ve been getting emails about the news that some scientists are claiming (note: a claim isn’t the same as established fact) that there is a very large planet beyond Pluto. This naturally excites Sitchinites and other ancient astronaut theorists who follow...

Mike Scheduled for Coast to Coast AM: Discussing Prophecy (Really)
The anomalous nature of me being on Coast to Coast AM discussing this topic will make sense once you hear the date. I’ve blogged here in the past (at length) about how an obsession with prophecy is a waste of time — and I stand by that. So who better to...
Mike on Coast to Coast AM Thursday Night, Just Before the World Ends
The folks at Coast to Coast AM have scheduled me for Thursday, December 20. I’m naturally relieved that I’ll get to be on the show again before the world ends the next day. The topic will be apocalypticism, and so we’ll be chatting about the Mayan...
The Planet X Fraud
In case you haven’t heard of “Planet X,” it’s a notorious piece on Paleobabble that was derived from Zecharia Sitchin’s 12th planet Nibiru nonsense. However, Planet X has since taken on a (fake) life of its own, so that the idea cannot be...
Ancient Aliens Debunked: 3-Hour Documentary Now Online for Free
Readers may recall a few months ago when I announced I'd be interviewed for this documentary. That happened in August. Well, I'm happy to announce that the documentary is finished and online. It's just over three hours, and free to the public. I haven't had time to...
Jason Colavito on the Serial Self-Plagiarism of David Hatcher Childress

Addendum to the Anunnaki Search on my Sitchin Is Wrong Website
I just wanted to give readers a heads-up on this. Some readers of my Zecharia Sitchin website have been unable to re-create the search for all occurrences of the Anunnaki in Sumerian texts via the Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature. (For those to whom that...
Satirical Music Video Targeting Nibiru 2012 Mythology
One of the members of the Boston-based rock band, Metaphor for Everything, sent me the link to a new single, accompanied by a note that the song was inspired by my Zecharia Sitchin site. Apparently the site convince one of the band members to leave the ancient...
Doctoral Degree for Ancient Astronaut Theorists
I saw two items today that have convinced me that the PaleoBabble blog needs to begin awarding the PhD in Non Sequitur Thinking for ancient astronaut theorists. The first is this wonderful post from the Skeptophilia blog. Please read it. It is an uncannily accurate...
Fantasy Channel Special on Ancient Astronauts
Well, I guess some of you may have caught last night’s Fantasy Channel (what I used to refer to as the History Channel) special promoting the ancient astronaut idea. I didn’t watch it since there’s nothing new here except better special effects and...
Was Cain Fathered by the Devil? No, Wait — Extraterrestrials
I’ve gotten more emails on this topic than I can shake a stick at, so I’ve decided to blog it and then just direct people to this post in the future. I don’t know who started this on the internet-probably one of those “I found secret knowledge...
