Death Worms and "Other" Roswell Mysteries

Over at Mysterious Universe , I take a look at (a) the strange saga of the Mongolian Death Worm ; and (b) the other mysteries of Roswell (the latter may offer much relief for those sick and tired of the fucking fiasco known as the "Roswell Slides").

PS: for those who may be wondering, the photo above relates directly to one of those other mysteries of Roswell. As I note in the article, back in late 2005, me and a bunch of friends held a midnight seance in one of the old hangars at Roswell...

Roswell Slides Latest

Thanks to the excellent work of Shepherd Johnson (who used the Freedom of Information Act and who has just secured a near-200 page collection of material on the matter), it's finally time to put the "Roswell Slides" issue to rest. Check it out!

Mammoths & Mastodons: Survivors?

Did Mammoths and Mastodons survive for longer than we're told? As in much longer? Maybe. That's the subject of my new Mysterious Universe article.

A Few More Mysterious Universe Articles...

And a few more new Mysterious Universe articles from me:

1. An official report on a huge UFO seen during the Second World War ;

2. A grinning Man in Black ;

3. Hairy Wild Men of World War Two ;

4. Why we won't get UFO Disclosure .

The Socorro Flying Saucer - Photo/Model

Now this is interesting: one of the people I met at the Ohio MUFON gig this past weekend was one of MUFON Ohio's investigators, Rob Mercer.

Rob has acquired a massive collection (and I do mean massive) of ORIGINAL Air Force Project Blue Book files and had them on display at the conference.

Rob very generously gave me a photo from the collection.

It clearly shows a model display of the famous Socorro, New Mexico UFO landing case of 1964 - complete with models of the UFO, 2 small aliens, and police officer Lonnie Zamora hauling ass away from the UFO and his car.

Does anyone have any idea if the model was made by the Air Force, or was it for a UFO convention display (or similar)?

Maybe the Air Force thought it was a cool display and decided to photograph it for their files?

Anyone got answers?

My guess is a display created for a UFO gig or a UFO museum, but even so, the background suggests it must have been a significantly big display. 

Mysterious Universe: A Few New Articles

There are a few new Mysterious Universe articles from me, including ones on the JFK assassination of 1963 , The Beast of Bladenoro , the Gypsy in Black , and anomalous apes in the movies .

Demons in the Defense Department

That's the topic of my new Mysterious Universe article which begins...

"In November 1991, a Nebraskan priest named Ray Boeche had a clandestine meeting with a pair of physicists working on a top secret program for the U.S. Department of Defense. Both men were deeply worried and were looking for advice and guidance from Boeche on the project in which they were immersed.

"The classified operation, Boeche was told, revolved around attempts by certain elements of the DoD to contact what were termed 'Non-Human Entities,' or NHEs. Most people might call them extraterrestrials, aliens, or in terms of the field of Ufology and popular culture – 'the Grays.' For a while, the DoD referred to them in those terms, too. But not for long. As Ray Boeche listened carefully to what his Deep Throat sources told him, he came to realize that the Pentagon was dabbling in decidedly dangerous areas."

The Marconi Deaths - Revisited

Over at Mysterious Universe I take a look at a strange and controversial phenomenon that caught the attention of many in conspiracy-based fields in the 1980s and 1990s: the numerous deaths of employees of Marconi.

Regardless of your personal opinion (coincidence, murder, mind-control, or something else) it's a genuinely odd saga - which you can find right here.
