The Mantell Analyses
While I was talking with Fran Ridge, he of the NICAP website, http://www.nicap.org/ , we drifted into a discussion of the Thomas Mantell UFO sighting of January 1948. Mantell was killed when his F-51 crashed in Kentucky. Thomas Mantell The case has been wrapped in controversy since then, mainly because a pilot died attempting to identify the UFO. Various theories have been offered over the years
X-Zone Broadcast Network - David Booher
David Booher This week I talked with David Booher who wrote No Return which is about the strange case of Gerry Irwin. I say strange case because it might have nothing to do with a UFO though it does seem he saw something strange in the sky. He believed, originally, that it fell to the ground on the other side of a ridge line but he never found it and those who followed later found no evidence of
I Retract My Original Billy Meier Comment
Several weeks ago, I made a suggestion that the speakers invited to the MUFON symposium sounded a little absurd because of the lack of corroboration for their time travel claims.

Billy Meier Beyond the Time Barrier
I know that it is best to let sleeping dogs lie (and you can take that two ways considering where I’m going with this), but I saw something that set me to laughing. I was watching an old 1960 science fiction movie, this one Beyond the Time Barrier . It takes place in both 1960 and 2024 after a pilot in an experimental aircraft somehow “breaks” the time barrier.

September 27, 2017 ( Tony Cartalucci - NEO ) - Many geopolitical analysts and commentators have noted many worthwhile similarities between the Syrian crisis and the one now unfolding in the Southeast Asian state of Myanmar.

Shaun Bernie and Frank Barnaby have an interesting essay about Japan's "bomb in the basement": Shaun Bernie and Frank Barnaby (2107, September 22).

Nuclear Governmentality
I am working on an essay introducing the idea of "nuclear governmentality" as a societal governing logic. We can see this logic circulating in Japan as tensions with North Korea rise and as the LDP aims ever more forcefully at revising Japan's pacifist constitution: LDP to use Abe’s revision plan for Article 9 as a campaign pledge.

Are Solar Flares and CMEs Activating Earthquakes in Ring of Fire?
There have been quite a few sizable earthquakes recently. Could they be related to the coronal mass ejections from the X-class flares produced by our sun recently? Suspicious Observers may be on to something with their hypothesis that solar activity predicts earthquakes ( see here ).

As the Republicans' third attempt to repeal Obamacare was going down in flames, Mike Pence was in Alaska, warning Alaskans that the last thing they wanted to do was to adopt single payer medicare.
