From the dark corners of the CIA library: Official ‘Guidance to UFO Photographers’

For decades, the U.S. government has been accused of not only secretly investigating the existence of extra-terrestrials on and around our planet, but of conducting a generation-spanning cover up aimed at keeping the public at large in the dark about such visitors.  For many Americans, these accusations are little more than a plotline in some of the loftier episodes of the … [Read more…]

Buzz Aldrin sets the record straight on Apollo 11 UFOs, but says alien life is a ‘certainty’

Buzz Aldrin, an accomplished pilot and academic best known as the second human being ever to set foot on another celestial body, is popular in a number of circles.  His participation in the history making Apollo 11 mission earned him a place in America's heart, and his appearances in movies like "Transformers" and on TV shows like "30 Rock" have helped keep his name fresh in … [Read more…]

Op-Ed: The media’s terrible coverage of NASA’s new job opening may be just the thing we need

Last week, the mainstream media fell all over itself to inaccurately report the details of NASA’s latest, and highest profile, job opening: a new position entitled Planetary Protection Officer.  While the actual posting NASA placed on the government job board USAJobs called for an expert in planning, executing, or overseeing space missions of national significance to primarily … [Read more…]

NASA is on the market for a Planetary Protection Officer - do you have what it takes?

In Adam Sandler’s ill-fated attempt at using nostalgia to sell movie tickets called, “Pixels,” Sandler played a normal guy that was chosen by America’s government to defend the world against an 8-bit alien invasion.  The premise of the movie was simple: if an other-worldly power ever did choose to come conquer our world, it may well be up to just one person to see the threat … [Read more…]

Was there ever a real life version of the X-Files? The answer is yes - and it was run by the Air Force

As a kid, I grew up watching Agent Fox Mulder work tirelessly from a basement office full of files – but not the sort of files most of us work with today.  No, these weren’t drawn facsimiles of manila folders glowing on the desktop of Mulder’s computer screen – they were hand typed and printed documents inside actual manila folders.  That’s right, the 90’s were a crazy … [Read more…]

Government conspiracies, nuclear physicists, and UFOs: A kid’s crash course in investigative journalism

When I was in the sixth grade, the middle school I attended had a special program that allowed students with good grades to miss class time occasionally to take part in a form of “independent study.” The program required that each student choose a topic, research it thoroughly over the course of a year, and ultimately have something to show for their effort to understand the … [Read more…]

From Space Marine to Apollo 13: Remembering Bill Paxton

Bill Paxton is that guy you’ve seen in a hundred movies, but somehow always manage to confuse with Bill Pullman.  One of them gave an incredible speech in "Independence Day" (Pullman) – the other played characters that were sometimes cringeworthy, like the wannabe-spy car salesman wooing people’s wives in "True Lies" (Paxton), but for guys like me that grew up in the 80s and … [Read more…]

NASA announces discovery of three nearby planets that may harbor life

NASA held on press conference on Wednesday to announce the discovery of seven “earth like” rocky planets in a single solar system, Trappist-1, located only approximately forty light years away.  Of the planets discovered, three of them are the right distances from their star to be considered within the solar system’s “habitable zone,” meaning they each could potentially have … [Read more…]

Have we found E.T.? Scientists confirm repeating radio signals from another galaxy

A recent study conducted by the American Astronomical Society, published in the Astrophysical Journal, has confirmed that scientists have received a total of 17 fast radio bursts (FRBs) from a single source outside of the Milky Way galaxy since 2011. Unfortunately, because of the immense distance between Earth-based radio satellites and the source, little more can be confirmed … [Read more…]

Was Roswell a Soviet hoax? Fact may be stranger than fiction

In July of 1947, something fell from the sky and crash landed in Mack Brazel’s ranch, just northwest of Roswell, New Mexico.  According to the official story, it was an experimental weather balloon.  If you listen to the long list of conspiracy theories surrounding the event, it was a spaceship from another world, crewed by a species of small, large eyed, interstellar … [Read more…]
