Meier Explains the Alien Autopsy
There are those who read my blog who say that they really don’t want to
hear any more about Billy Meier and his alleged contacts with alien
beings. There are others who say that arguing with true believers is a
waste of time because no matter what evidence is presented, it will
never be enough to show them the errors in their true beliefs. But
sometimes I just have to poke the stick into the Horn
Bernalillo (Albuquerque) Sighitng of June 17, 2015
Rob Swiatek, a member of the Board of Directors of MUFON, told me about
a sighting that is interesting but not necessarily something of an
extraterrestrial nature. As he reported, it seems that the objects, or
lights, were on the ground. Neither the witness nor the investigator was
able to identify a source for the lights. According to the information
supplied: The principal witness obtained them
The Mantell Analyses
While I was talking with Fran Ridge, he of the NICAP website,

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

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. The world of 2024 is nothing like I

Centauri A and K-class Centauri B, is that thei
The Milky Way as an Outlier
How ‘normal’ is the Milky Way? It’s an interesting question because as

by a much smaller study, the comparison between our Solar System and

Fukushima Daiichi Status
Sunday ( HERE ) I posted on my concerns about significantly heightened
