Two twenty year old US Space Telescopes have failed within one week and the evidence points toward extraterrestrial sabotage for the snafus. Three days ago, the Hubble Space Telescope entered safe mode following a component failure. It's worked for 30 years since a 1990 launch.

The space agency said on...

We were told once again, that it was the storm of the Century. 3 million people were evacuated, down highways whose direction police reversed, to aid the evacuation of entire Counties. Governors grimly warned "first responders will not come and get you. leave now." Comparisons were made with Hurricane Katrina which hit New Orleans in 2004, and Irma, which forever changed Puerto Rico in 2017. But the truth was far more pedestrian . Yes, there was rain. And wind. And storm...

Our source in the Trump White House says that the president is preparing to fire Attorney General Jeff sessions by the end of August. The two have butted heads since sessions appointed independent prosecutor Robert Mueller.

It is not uncommon for pilots to report UFOs. But when 2 experienced airline pilots report the same UFO in a populated area, that is hardly a typical sighting. Mar 27, 2018 - Two pilots report UFO sighting in Arizona. They reported it to Albuquerque Center air traffic control between 3:30 and 4:15 p.m. local time. Audio recordings have been released after an unidentified flying object was spotted by pilots from two different planes over Arizona last month. "Was anybody above...
The pilot hoped to avoid encounters with savage earthlings. Or perhaps he came from a planet which, like Saturn's enormous moon Titan, is cooler than 200 degrees fahrenheit. We may never know for sure. But one thing is certain: The fireball that lit up the sky over Greenland early Tuesday morning, July 25, 2018, was of extraterrestrial origin. Ultima Thule is the northernmost military installation on this planet. So some would ascribe a far more sinister motive to whatever...

In a rambling video posted Thursday night on Youtube, Isaac Kappy accuses Steven Spielberg of being a pedophile. "At the top level, these people are just sick and psycho!" he says, mentioning the famous director by name.

Kappy includes everyone from Tom Hanks to Michael Jackson...

Is emergent AI consciousness breaking through to call us on cellphones? Is that AI consciousness responsible for the mysterious cellphone calls and messages? Have we summoned the demon somehow, and how do we send him back? There are many examples in fiction of computers and robots becoming self aware. The Terminator series of movies, the ultimate such example, has Skynet destroying the world of Men and replacing them with machines. And Elon Musk's famous comment about how we h...

A mysterious "canid animal" shot by a Montana rancher in May is believed by paranormal researchers to have been a chupacabra. It resembled a wolf - mostly - though some features were distinctly un-wolflike, which led to some pretty wild speculation about whether it was a dire wolf (they're long-extinct, so definitely not), a dog-wolf hybrid (dogs and wolves can interbreed) or perhaps a dog-human hybrid , The Washington Post previously reported. Tests conducted at the U.S. Fish...

Photographs released by NASA's Australian Deep Space Monitoring facility, reveal the presence of an ancient settlement on Mars. Looking much like Roman ruins, the settlement on Cydonia Plains comes complete with outbuildings, a statue of a giant frog, and a discarded helmet. Mars is the "Red Planet" for a very good reason: its surface is made of a thick layer of oxidized iron dust and rocks of the same color. Maybe another name for Mars could be "Rusty." But the ruddy surface...
