Rods Perennially Caught On Camera; Still Don't Exist

Be the First to Comment!

Rods or "skyfish" are a quirk of the way cameras work, but that doesn't stop people from continuing to believe that they are aliens, unknown flying animals, time travelers, or more.  The classic rod is a streak across a video camera frame, often with what appears to be an undulating single or double fin propelling it, not unlike the fin on the sides of a cuttlefish.

Holiday Gift Idea's for the Supernatural Hunters in Your Life

Be the First to Comment!

Looking for that perfect gift for that adventurous family member or hard to buy for friend? Well have I got some ideas for you! As I was watching T.V. earlier this evening, I noticed there are quite a bit of paranormal type shows on these days. Shows about hauntings, people that hunt ghosts and spirits, psychic kids and so on. I then started googling some of these shows and came across some fun things. Like this ghost hunting kit. For the seemingly reasonable price of $99.75 you can equip yourself or someone you know with all the tools they need to get started in the world of ghost hunting. Read more

The MKULTRA Project

CIACIABased on the past “experiments” of the CIA, I seriously have to wonder what our nation’s so-called “Intelligence Agency” is up to today. I recently read an interesting article in Discover Magazine, which detailed the CIA’s use of LSD in its secret quest for mind-control. Read more

The Paranormal Activity Film

Here kitty kittty . . . no, waitHere kitty kittty . . . no, waitThe $15,000 film Paranormal Activity has grossed $61.6 million in its first month.  It scores 85% on rottentomatoes.com, it gets two thumbs up from Roger Ebert and whoever works with him these days, and it is rivalling Blair Witch Project within its genre.

Some wit noted that Paranormal Activity holds the most terror for the F/X specialists who charge tens of millions to make movies that are nowhere near as scary as this one is.  Read more

Michio Kaku and String Theory

Be the First to Comment!

Michio Kaku is a physicist renowned for both his contributions to string theory and his books on physics, which offer those interested in the strange and unusual ways of Quantum Physics an entry point in understanding. I recently read an interview with him in Fate Magazine and was fascinated by his book “Parallel Worlds” which seemed to me to be an explanation of the physics behind one of my favorite childhood books, “A Wrinkle in Time”.

Chupacabra Video?

ChupacabraChupacabraI just ran across some video which CNN aired last month, of a supposed chupacabra found in Texas.  You can watch the video here and make your own decisions - personally, I am 110 percent sure that this is a coyote with mange.

We have seen this problem before, with coyotes, bears, foxes, and raccoons.  Although most cases of mange result merely in a patchy (or "mangy" if you will) coat, some cases can be so extreme that the animal loses every single hair on its body.  These poor suffering animals - who look quite alien by this point - are then driven to unusual lengths in order to get a meal.  Like raiding a rancher's barn, as happened with this Texas incident.

 Homemade flying saucer balloon lands without its 6-yr old stowaway!Homemade flying saucer balloon lands without its 6-yr old stowaway!

Earlier this morning, a 6 year old boy lifted off in Fort Collins, Colorado in a homemade balloon constructed to look like a flying saucer. The boy's father and he had been working on it for months, constructing the large 20 x 5 ft helium balloon from mylar and thin plywood.

The balloon had been anchored to their home with a long rope and this morning his older brother watched him climb inside and take off. Shortly thereafter, the flying saucer shaped silver balloon was witnessed by local citizens, rising several thousands of feet in the air over eastern Colorado. Read more

Really Big Birds: Roc, Thunderbird, and Cryptids

Be the First to Comment!

Really big birds are an interesting category in cryptozoology.  Most people consider these to be nothing but fictional legends, the simple up-scaling of existing large birds like bald eagles and condors.  It certainly doesn't take much imagination to invent "something just like that bird over there, only bigger."

However, there are also vexing reports of really big birds which occasionally surface every few years.  Cryptozoologists speculate that some of these reports could be sightings of surviving pterodactyls (which went extinct X million years ago), or of teratorns (which went extinct only 6,000 years ago).  Teratorns were larger relatives of the condor, and lived in North America.  Many excellent examples of teratorns have been recovered from the La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles.

Jack the Ripper Identified?

Be the First to Comment!

An historian claims he knows the true identity of Jack the Ripper, and we can all take heart: it isn’t Elvis, Nixon or Michael Jackson.

Apparently the man behind the Whitechapel murders was named Robert Mann, a morgue attendant who has been identified through “modern police forensic techniques.” Whatever these are, they are said to include psychological and geographical profiling.

All of that said, can we really claim that ol’ Jack has been discovered without say, I don’t know, DNA evidence? Even death row inmates are cleared when the right DNA is finally matched to a crime; how can a case over a century old be suddenly solved without it? Read more
