Machu Picchu: Inca site ‘has gone by wrong name for over 100 years’ Peruvian historian and US archaeologist say the pre-Columbian town was called Huayna Picchu by the Inca people Machu Picchu is one of the world’s best-known archaeological sites, a wonder of pre-Columbian architecture that has been closely studied for decades and a tourist

On June 25, 2021, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) released a report on the early findings of the Navy’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF). At just nine pages long, the brief report, entitled “Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” left much to be desired for the many readers anticipating specific details about

New research published in the journal Psychology of Consciousness: Theory, Research, and Practice provides evidence that mystical experience is a spiritual rather than a wholly pathological phenomenon. The study found that women who reported having mystical experiences tended to also have greater spiritual intelligence. Mystical experiences, which are characterized by feelings of unity, ineffability, peace

The Parapsychology Foundation — a four-generation matrilineal dynasty — fights for its future. Lisette Coly and Anastasia Damalas are at a crossroads. But, on a recent late-winter morning, they were also in the book-filled storefront of their foundation in the Greenport section of Long Island, when someone knocked at the door. Ms. Coly, 71, and her

Subscribe to The Black Vault on YouTube. A video on this is coming soon to the channel! With a small triumph in the effort to get transparency on a hot topic issue, The Black Vault has secured the partial release of the classified report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) given to Congress in June of

An Ode to Captain Kirk Thanks to virtual reality, you don’t necessarily have to book discount flights to space in order to experience the Overview Effect. This UFO thing’s got some legs going on, man — I can’t even keep up anymore: Congress employs the new Intelligence Authorization Act spending bill to impose quarterly reports

Over the years and decades, a large number of UFO-themed government documents have been declassified into the public domain thanks to the Freedom of Information Acts of various nations. There is, however, another aspect to this: namely, the files that should have been released but that can’t be found. Anywhere. We’ll begin with the Roswell

Here’s a sign the Scots – especially around Loch Ness – are getting worried that there have been no Loch Ness monster sightings yet in 2022. The local media has resurrected a story about Margaret Thatcher and her attempt to find the creature while she was prime minister with the use of trained dolphins. Really!

On October 19, 2021, Robert Salas held a National Press Club event called, “Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) and Nuclear Weapons.” Recently revealed documents show the Air Force had an interest ensuring they were able to watch the event, with the caveat expressed to Salas that it was to prepare for any media questions. According to

We’ve yet to see anything to suggest that the anomalous phenomena will become overtly hostile (annihilation) in the future, but by the same token the vast majority of us are not privy to classified information. In a way, it becomes important to be able to address difficult conversations and be able to change what we

A wild new theory suggests there may be another “anti-universe,” running backward in time prior to the Big Bang. The idea assumes that the early universe was small, hot and dense — and so uniform that time looks symmetric going backward and forward. If true, the new theory means that dark matter isn’t so mysterious;

Working a Spell at Boggart Hole Clough March 1, 2022 Author: Beach Combing | in : Modern , trackback Boggart Hole Clough, the subject of this month’s Boggart and Banshee podcast, is a large park to the north of Manchester. Now it is well within the conurbation (the modern park is discussed in my new

According to a FAQ page on the website of the Federal Bureau of Investigation titled “The FBI and UFOs,” the United States’ domestic intelligence and security service “was only occasionally involved in investigating the possibility of UFOs and extraterrestrials over the years.” “Concerned citizens reported many of these strange sightings to the FBI,” the statement

Scores of people have been left spooked after reporting seeing an unidentified flying object in Irish skies. The sightings were made in parts of the northwest overnight, with people in Sligo, Donegal and Leitrim among those reporting to have seen an unknown type of aircraft hovering overhead. The mysterious object has been described as V-shaped,

As we’ve discussed here in the past, the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), created to study observed incidents of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs or just UFOs), was replaced by the UAP Task Force, and then by a new office with the annoyingly unpronounceable acronym of AOIMSG. All of the congressional activity revolving around

In Understanding Roswell, I looked again, at the Air Force’s ultimate answer for the UFO crash, which had written off as a balloon array from the “highly classified” Project Mogul. The Air Force, in their investigation, had eliminated all possible terrestrial answers, as civilian UFO researchers had done in the years before the Air Force

The animals painted in ocher in Colombia may include giant ground sloths and other creatures that vanished from the Americas. But some researchers say the art has a more recent origin. At the end of the last ice age, South America was home to strange animals that have since vanished into extinction: giant ground sloths,

There are an endless number of theories as to the purpose of Stonehenge, the most famous stone circle in the world. While some are truly out there, the most commonly accepted possibilities usually revolve around some sort of time-keeping using the Sun, Moon and stars. However, there has never been any consensus on which of

You will have seen that over the last two weeks I’ve tackled various aspects of the controversial, legendary Roswell case of 1947. But, unless something new and amazing comes forward, I’ll be placing Roswell articles on the shelf. I should stress, though, I’ll still be researching the incident and looking for new material on what

In Oregon, a man said his health deteriorated after a glowing blue orb passed through his body. A family in California reported strange lights and a gray figure with spindly legs in their orchard. A werewolf-like creature allegedly prowled around homes in suburban Virginia. All three incidents were probed as part of a secret Pentagon

This weekend, March 3-6, Rice University is hosting a conference to inaugurate its Archives of the Impossible. Like hundreds of others, I have Zoomed and will Zoom in to catch some of the plenary sessions held during the event. What follows, here, are my impressions of and thoughts on Jeffrey Kripal’s opening remarks and Jacques

Remember those videos taken by U.S. military pilots showing unidentified objects flying at incredible speeds and executing impossible maneuvers? They’ve appeared widely in various media since 2017, but soon — if DOD gets its way — you may not be able to watch them, thanks to a move to classify all such videos and other materials

To make a space crystal, you need the immense pressures of the Earth’s surface bearing down on minerals and magma. But to make a time crystal, you need esoteric equations and ridiculously precise lasers. At least, that’s how physicists shaped the first self-standing time crystal in a lab last year. Now, they’ve turned into an

In 2020, researchers saw for the first time what may be the longest animal ever. The creature, spotted in a deep-sea canyon off Australia, was a roughly 150-foot-long (45 meters) siphonophore. Each member of this group of species is made up of lots of smaller animals called zooids, which connect to form a long, string-like

Secretary of the US Navy The US Department of Defence, Secretary of the Navy’s FOIA website has had a number of responses to FOIA requests on it, for quite a while now. However, many researchers, including myself, have had a number of outstanding FOIA requests, with the US Navy, which remain open. I make it
