The Trickster And Anomalous Phenomena
For well over a hundred years, western scholars have struggled to comprehend the prevalence of “trickster” tales in ancient and indigenous mythology. While these tales hold many, hotly debated meanings, recent research suggests that the trickster may, in part, be a coded representation of anomalous phenomena.

Carl Higdon Abduction, 1974
In 1974, Carl Higdon met a strange, floating humanoid in the woods, and was taken inside a strange see-through structure, only to be literally dropped back down to Earth. Higdon’s case is a classic UFO abduction, but it may also shed light on other unexplained disappearances and deaths around the world.

The Science of Near-Death Experiences
Though western science has long rejected the idea of an immaterial self, modern research into near-death experiences, or NDEs, has now proven that many occur after the point of bodily death, and thus cannot be produced in the brain. Whether they are evidence of the soul, or some other undiscovered phenomenon, NDEs have put Western materialist scientists on the defensive, and led many researchers to embrace bold new theories of consciousness.

The Sandown "Ghost Clown," 1973
The Sandown “ghost clown” is a name assigned to a bizarre entity seen by two British children on the Isle of Wight in 1973. It is known for its highly unusual appearance, which may actually be an important clue in understanding anomalous entity encounters, including those with so-called “aliens.”

Debunking the Bower & Chorley Story why Crop Circles aren't all Hoaxes
In 1991, two British men shocked the world when they confessed to hoaxing all the famous crop circles found in England in recent years. However, a detailed examination of their claims shows that these men could not possibly have started the crop circle phenomenon, and probably had nothing to do with the famous circles in Wiltshire, England, or anywhere else.

An Introduction to Crop Circles
Many now believe that the crop circle phenomenon has all been explained as an elaborate hoax, but there is a long history of crop circle science that demonstrates that the strange formations could not have been laid by human hands.

The Secret Commonwealth: Real Fairies in History
People today think of fairies as little winged pixie girls, but this is not how those who saw them in history typically described them. The Reverend Robert Kirk wrote a treatise on the fairy people as they were known in the Scottish lowlands, and offers us a more evidence-based description of these elusive creatures.

Travis Walton Abduction, 1975
There is probably no case of alien abduction more widely known than that of Travis Walton, a 22-year-old logger from Snowflake, AZ. Travis's case includes a number of details that strongly suggest at the involvement of extraterrestrial beings; but it also has some similarities to older accounts of "abduction" in other times and places.

Harriet Tubman - Psychic, Seer
Harriet Tubman is well known for her daring rescues of black slaves in the Eastern United States, but less well known are the remarkable abilities that she possessed that made these rescues possible. A review of the many anomalous events in Tubman's life suggests that she may have mastered the same psi abilities as psychics and remote viewers today, even without training.

"Foo Fighters" of World War II
While the US government created the world's first government office to address the UFO question only after Kenneth Arnold's famous sighting in the summer of 1947, it was far from the first time that US officials had been forced to contend with UFO reports. Throughout the Second World War, Allied and German pilots frequently encountered fast-moving balls of light and other strange phenomena over Europe, the Mediterranean, and the South Pacific. The large volume of reports make it abundantly clear that the UFO phenomenon preceded the summer of the flying saucer, and suggest that the US government may have known more than they let on in the wake of Arnold's sighting.

O'Hare Airport UFO, 2006
On the afternoon of November 7, 2006, a UFO was spotted at Chicago’s O'Hare Airport in Illinois, USA.
The UFO sighting at O’Hare Airport in Chicago, IL, is a recent reminder that mass UFO sightings still occur, and that in America, at least, witnesses and investigators still get stonewalled by all authorities in their search for explanations. The case also gives us reason to believe that there would be many more cases known to the public if airlines and regulatory agencies were more transparent with the evidence.

Ariel School UFO Landing - Zimbabwe, 1994
There are many UFO sightings that involve large groups of witnesses. Interestingly, however, even where there is a consensus on a few core claims, witnesses don't always agree on some of the most important details of the story. The 60-some children that witnessed a UFO event in 1994 all saw things a little differently, in a way that highlights just how bizarre the phenomenon can be.

Japan Airlines 1628 UFO Encounter, 1986
UFO sightings amongst airline pilots are relatively common, but the sightings of Japan Airlines flight 1628 on November 17, 1986 are notable for the wealth of supporting evidence. An official FAA investigation revealed cockpit recordings, radar data, and eyewitness interviews that all attest to a truly remarkable encounter, and an official government cover-up.

For pioneering the first alternatives to the extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs, Jacques Vallée has earned a reputation as the grandfather of the "new" ufology, and he's inspired a generation of ufologists to explore a whole new set of questions about the UFO phenomenon.

The Disappearance of Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon
In 2014, two Dutch students on a trip to Panama went missing under highly unusual circumstances, only to have some of their remains appear weeks later, scattered miles from their last known location. While their disappearance was certainly anomalous in itself, it also fits with a pattern of missing persons cases around the world that may be linked to other anomalous phenomena.

Bothell House Haunting
The Bothell House is the site of an alleged haunting in Bothell, Washington. Between 2012 and 2016, Keith Linder and his girlfriend at the time experienced a wide range of anomalous activity in the house that became increasingly frequent and extremely hostile. The house has now been thoroughly researched by a variety of investigators, who have together documented hundreds of sounds, light anomalies, voice recordings, and other, far more sinister, phenomena. The case stands out for the sheer quantity of occurrences, and for the lines it blurs between different types of hauntings, poltergeists, and even apparitions.

Abduction of Antônio Vilas-Boas, 1957
Four years before the more famous Hill Abduction, a Brazilian farmer had a hair-raising experience that is eerily reminiscent of the “alien abduction” stories brought to light in the 1980s and 90s. His case is now widely considered the first alien abduction of the post-war era, and the first to imply an agenda of alien-human hybridization.

The Jinn Supernatural Beings of the Muslim World
The Quran tells us of invisible beings called Jinn that occasionally interact with humans. Belief in Jinn is mostly confined to the muslim world, but nearly every culture on earth has posited the existence of similar beings.

The Strange Case of Dr X: UFOs and "Miracle" Healings
Though we tend to think of "miraculous" healings as the domain of religious miracle workers, a number of UFO witnesses claim to have been spontaneously healed during or after their sightings. By examining these kinds of anomalous effects on witnesses, we probably won't learn where UFOs come from, but we may explain what they are doing here.

The "Mothman" Encounters, 1966 - 1967
While the “mothman” has become a fixture of paranormal horror since it was adapted to film in 2002, the stories it was based on were actually far stranger than anything portrayed on screen. The wide range of events that occurred in Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966 and 1967 remain some of the most perplexing anomalous events in history, and they implore us to consider how they all might be related.
Thank you to Jeff Wamsley, mothman researcher (MothmanMuseum.com), and Ebony Martin, Graduate Research Assistant at West Virginia University Libraries.

UFO Disclosure? Part 1 - Tom DeLonge and AATIP
A number of fans have asked me my opinion on the recent news around UFOs, and the apparent moves towards UFO disclosure on the part of the US government. I have been extremely skeptical of this “disclosure” campaign from the start, and I think it’s important that students of ufology take a critical look at these developments, and challenge some of the narratives presented. To this end, I’ve decided to do a two-part series on the disclosure campaigns of the 21st century, and how they’re not what they appear to be.
This is the first of these videos, covering the work of Tom DeLonge and To The Stars Academy, as well as the revelation of the AATIP program.
Special thanks to Robbie Graham for reviewing an earlier draft of this narration. Robbie is an indispensable voice in ufology, and he currently runs August Night Books, which has published some excellent titles in anomalistics. Check out their website:

UFOs over Nuremberg, 1561
Ever wonder where the banner image on our website and social media pages comes from? It's a composite image based mostly from a 16th-century woodcut depicting a UFO sighting over Nuremberg, in modern-day Germany. As well as producing a captivating illustration, the sighting is a good example of an early-modern "wonder-sign," long before the term UFO ever entered the lexicon, and before anyone suspected extraterrestrial culprits.

Medieval UFOs? The Story of the "Flying Ship" over Ireland
You may have heard reference to a story told by the 13th-century cleric, Gervase of Tilbury, about a flying ship dropping its anchor in a churchyard, and the ensuing struggle between one of its sailors and the assembled crowd. There are actually many different versions of this story dating back to the middle of the 8th century CE, and together, they tell us a great deal about Medieval cosmology, and they even shed light on the modern UFO phenomenon.
