Paranormal News

I can’t say much about my experiences as an intelligence officer, but one thing I can say is that I constantly got the question from friends: “Are UFOs real?” My answer was usually an enigmatic smile, which implied I knew more than I could say, but which really covered up total ignorance on the subject.

Beginning at age two in the spring of 2000, James Leininger began exhibiting behaviors and making claims that his parents later believed resembled the life and death of World War II fighter pilot James Huston, Jr.  Over several years, James Leininger provided information about World War II, especially fighter planes, as well as specific details

Program.” The article described a Department of Defense (“DoD”) program sponsored by former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called the

Adopting Sun Tzu’s mantra that “victorious warriors win first and then go to war,” the Defense Department has launched a preemptive strike on Congress. Specifically, a strike against congressional efforts to ramp up government research of UFOs (what the government refers to as “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena”). On Tuesday, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks announced the

They were the largest animals to ever walk the Earth: sauropods, a dinosaur clade of such immense size and stature, they’re sometimes dubbed ‘thunder lizards’. These towering hulks – including Brontosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and Diplodocus among others – needed four thick, powerful legs to support and transport their massive bodies. At least, most of the time.

(CNN) — Some shoot out of the soft rock like reptiles bathing in the sun. Others are mysterious depressions resembling an ancient board game played all over the world. And a few are straight-up puzzling. On a desolate and windswept corner of Qatar’s northeastern coast, among the sand dunes of the barren desert, lies Al

Call this a preliminary report, sketching out lines of research I want to pursue. On the evening of November 1, I had the privilege and pleasure of meeting with a wonderful class of graduate students taught by my colleague, Professor Yaakov Ariel of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  The course was on

A man in Australia claims he has been stalked by a bizarre ‘dog man‘ creature in the outback, saying he’s now sharing his story of the ‘terrifying’ encounters to protect others. John was fishing in his kayak in the Australian bush on Boxing Day last year when he heard a snap coming from the woods

This week, I spoke with Stan Gordon about his investigation into the Kecksburg UFO crash/retrieval. Gordon began his investigation while still a teenager who lived in the area. Since the crash on December 5, 1965, Gordon has worked to learn what happened that night. You can listen the interview here: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/47417537 Stan Gordon This interview

Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) speaks during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Sept. 28, 2021, in Washington, D.C. | Patrick Semansky-Pool/Getty Images A bipartisan proposal to create a more expansive military and intelligence program to study UFOs is urgently needed to determine whether unexplained sightings by Navy and Air Force pilots pose a threat

Concentration of glassy slabs (dark masses) at Quebrada de Chipana.P. Schultz et al. / Geology 2021 A decade ago, researchers discovered huge chunks and slabs of dark green and black glass strewn across a 75 kilometer–long swath of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile.  New evidence suggests they were created by an incoming fireball.

How our brain, a three-pound mass of tissue encased within a bony skull, creates perceptions from sensations is a long-standing mystery. Abundant evidence and decades of sustained research suggest that the brain cannot simply be assembling sensory information, as though it were putting together a jigsaw puzzle, to perceive its surroundings. This is borne out

A Yeti hunter claimed he has ‘proof’ the giant beast is living among us – just 30 miles from Coventry. Lee Brickley, 33, has dedicated more than a decade to finding the ape-like beast. Now, Lee said he has spotted a giant footprint and claw marks in Cannock Chase, Staffordshire – and is convinced it

For the past two years, The Black Vault has chased an internal Navy document which referenced an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) briefing of some kind, but there were little details to go on. However, after multiple FOIA requests, and after fighting an initial false “no records” denial to get it, the record has finally been

We recently discussed the rather remarkable language contained in a proposed amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) submitted by New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D) and Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Jack Reed. In the amendment, instructions are given regarding the future collection of data regarding reported sightings of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs,

Bob O’Dell wasn’t quite sure what he was looking at. It was 1992, and he had just got his hands on new images from the Hubble Space Telescope that zoomed in on young stars in the Orion Nebula. O’Dell had been hoping to study the nebula itself, an interesting region of star formation relatively close

Many great discoveries occur when researchers go back over old data for a second or third or fourth or nth look. A famous British astronomer claims he took another look at data collected nearly 40 years ago using the first space telescope to perform a survey of the entire night sky at infrared wavelengths and

Long-limbed and sporting dramatic horns above its eyes, Guenther’s marsupial frog is a bizarre-looking amphibian from the misty cloud forests of the Andean slopes. Like other marsupial frogs this species, known as Gastrotheca guentheri, doesn’t produce free-swimming tadpoles, but rather rears its young under a flap of skin on its back. But it has one

It’s time for everybody’s favorite slow news day story – celebrity ghost encounters. This week you get a two-fer and they’re both big two-fer stars – two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Stevie Nicks and two-time Emmy nominee (and Daytime Emmy winner) Selma Hayek. Are their ghosts big stars too? Let’s find out,

Note: This began as a tweet thread that became considerably large. It was decided to write it here for those outside of social media, as well. This is an informally written article, and only meant to convey the Pentagon’s ultimate stance on the release of Skinwalkers at the Pentagon. I was contemplating on what, if

In a striking blow to those seeking answers from the U.S. government about UFOs, a recent response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) case filed by The Black Vault has revealed that each and every UFO case submitted to the UAP Task Force (UAPTF) is “exempt from disclosure” and entirely classified. As a result,

The human body is often said to rest at a healthy internal temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. This average was established two centuries ago in France, and yet in the meantime, it seems our ‘normal’ physiology has changed ever so slightly. Early last year, researchers in the United States combed Civil War

Article body copy “I don’t know much about whales. I have never seen a whale in my life,” says Michael Bronstein. The Israeli computer scientist, teaching at Imperial College London, England, might not seem the ideal candidate for a project involving the communication of sperm whales.
