The argument about Bigfoot tends to go one of two ways: either you’ve never looked at the evidence closely and think it’s obviously ridiculous, or you have looked at it and can’t quite explain certain things away. The serious researchers — and there are serious researchers — don’t claim certainty. They claim [...] Read more →

In December 1980, US Air Force personnel encountered an unknown craft in a Suffolk forest over three nights. The deputy base commander recorded it in real time. The tape is public domain. In the early hours of December 26, 1980, a security patrol at RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk, England reported [...] Read more →
Most people who want to run a serious sky-watch spend about forty-five minutes planning the observation setup and then three hours sitting in an uncomfortable chair getting cold. The uncomfortable chair problem is actually important — if you’re miserable by midnight you’ll pack up before anything happens, and the most interesting things at [...] Read more →

Newton watched an apple fall. That simple observation gave us the theory of gravity. Three hundred years later, a team of roughly fifty scientists from across the world gathered at one of the most complex machines ever built — a particle accelerator buried beneath the Swiss-French border — to ask a question that Newton never could have imagined: what if you made an apple out of antimatter? Would it fall the same way? CONTINUE READING: Does Antimatter Fall Down? – What Newton Knew Just Got Proven – Time for a Posthumous Nobel Prize

The Money Pit was discovered in 1795 by a teenager named Daniel McGinnis who found a circular depression in the ground on a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia and started digging. Oak platforms appeared every ten feet. At ninety feet, the bottom flooded with seawater through a system of engineered drainage tunnels that had been built into the surrounding beach. Whatever is down there — if anything — was put there by someone who really didn’t want it found.
That’s the core of the Oak Island mystery and it hasn’t changed in 230 years of digging. CONTINUE READING: Oak Island: What Investigators Have Actually Found

Roughly 44,000 kilograms of meteoritic material falls on Earth every day. Most of it lands in the ocean or burns up entirely on the way down, but a meaningful fraction reaches the surface intact, and some of that ends up in fields, deserts, dry lake beds, and beaches where a metal detector can find it. Meteorite hunting is one of the few citizen science pursuits where you can hold something in your hand that hasn’t been on Earth in four billion years.

SDR Radio for Beginners: How to Listen for Anomalous Signals
A $25 USB dongle has turned an entire generation of hobbyists into radio operators without licenses, technical training, or any hardware beyond a laptop. That’s not an exaggeration — the RTL-SDR dongle, originally designed as a cheap television receiver for European digital broadcasts, was reverse-engineered by hobbyists around 2010 when someone realized the chip inside could output raw radio signal data directly to a computer. Software developers at the Osmocom project wrote drivers that unlocked it, and suddenly a device that was manufactured to receive TV was listening to aircraft transponders, weather satellites, and the International Space Station.

When Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt walked into Rendlesham Forest in December 1980 with a team of airmen, he brought a radiation detector. This wasn’t theatrical — it was standard procedure for a military officer investigating an unknown object near a base that housed nuclear weapons. What his equipment found was elevated radiation at the triangular depressions in the soil where something had reportedly rested. The readings were roughly twice the background level of the surrounding area. CONTINUE READING: Geiger Counters and UAP: Why Radiation Detection Matters in the Field

(Photo by: Universal History Archive/Universal Images Group via Getty Images) Before 2017 the standard government position on UFOs was approximately: not our department, probably misidentifications, please stop asking. That position collapsed in December of that year when the New York Times published a story revealing that the Pentagon had been running a secret $22 million program called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program from 2007 to 2012. The program’s director, Luis Elizondo, had resigned in protest the month before the story ran, arguing internally that the phenomenon was real, urgent, and being ignored. Three Navy videos came with the story — footage shot from military aircraft of objects performing maneuvers that no known aircraft could replicate. The Pentagon later confirmed the videos were authentic. CONTINUE READING: What UAP Disclosure Actually Means: A Timeline From 2017 to Now

The argument about Bigfoot tends to go one of two ways: either you’ve never looked at the evidence closely and think it’s obviously ridiculous, or you have looked at it and can’t quite explain certain things away. The serious researchers — and there are serious researchers — don’t claim certainty. They claim that the evidence is better than most people assume, that some of it is genuinely hard to dismiss, and that the absence of a body is not the same as proof of absence for an animal that, if it exists, likely inhabits some of the densest and most remote forest in North America.
The Patterson-Gimlin film is still the center of the conversation and probably will be until something more definitive surfaces. It was shot on October 20, 1967, at Bluff Creek in California’s Six Rivers National Forest. Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin were on horseback when their horses spooked. Patterson pulled a rented 16mm camera from his saddlebag and filmed 59.5 seconds of a large, upright, hair-covered figure walking away across a sandbar. The subject — nicknamed Patty — turns and looks at the camera in a moment that’s been analyzed frame by frame for nearly six decades. The complete film is shown below.

Geiger counters have long been used in the recovery of exotic materials that may contain radioactive particles. From detecting meteorites to space debris the instruments have held their place in modern history since the dawn of the atomic age. In 1979 the instruments played a significant role in the recovery of a wayward Russian satellite, the Cosmos 954. Just so you understand, in American speak, only commies use a K in the word Cosmos. That comes from the pride real patriotic Americans working during Cold War days when the threat of nuclear annihilation was at its peak. So, the US Depart. of Energy documents will use a C when referring to the Russian satellite. During the cold war days, the Russians used nuclear power in a myriad of ways from powering radio beacons to fueling operational satellites. CONTINUE READING: Operation Morning Light

Start with your location. You want dark sky, minimal light pollution, an unobstructed horizon, and ideally some historical interest — a location with prior sighting reports, proximity to a military installation, or elevation that gives you a wide field of view. The website Dark Site Finder maps light pollution across the US and is your first planning tool. Download the offline maps for your area before you go because cell service in genuinely dark sky locations is often nonexistent. CONTINUE READING: How to Run a UAP Sky-Watch: A Practical Field Guide
