Owlman or Aliens?
There's one more new Mysterious Universe article from me ( which you can read here ), which starts like this:
"One of the most fascinating aspects of the UFO phenomenon – and particularly so that which focuses on the “alien abduction” controversy – is one which makes a connection between encounters of the unearthly kind and owls. There are numerous reports on file where people who have undergone UFO experiences report sightings of anomalous owls . And by 'anomalous' I mean owls that (A) manifest directly before or after the encounter and in the same location; and (B) seem to be much larger than the average, known kind of owl.
"This has led to an intriguing theory: that the sightings of owls are actually nothing of the sort. They may be nothing less than skilfully-created 'screen memories' which are implanted into the mind of the abductee or the experiencer, with the specific intent of masking the true nature of what occurred."
UFO Fakery Will Get You In Hot Water!
My new Mysterious Universe article tells the strange story of a film-maker and actor named Mikel Conrad who, in 1949, claimed possession of real footage of UFOs in flight.
It was actually all a big hoax to promote his forthcoming,1950 movie, The Flying Saucer .
But, when Conrad made his faked claim, the Air Force quietly opened a file on the man and started an investigation of both him and his claims.
The result: he was quickly in deep shit of the saucer-shaped kind...

Roswell Slides: Can They Change Anything?
And...another new article from me ( at Mysterious Universe ) on the "Roswell Slides."
This one on the reasons why even if the slides are the real deal it won't have any significant impact on Ufology, unless things can be taken several steps further...

The "Roswell Slides" - The Debate Continues
There is a new development in the ever-growing, complicated controversy of the so-called "Roswell Slides."
Apparently, we are going to see what all the fuss is about in May.
But not for one single minute do I think it's going to lay matters to rest.
Instead, I suspect the controversy has barely begun...
Here's story one (at Rich Reynolds' UFO Conjecture(s) blog);
Story number two (at Kevin Randle's A Different Perspective blog);
And the third one takes us back to Rich Reynolds .
Enjoy the circus!

Energy-Sucking Vampires
And there's one more recent Mysterious Universe article from me, this one on the increasing reports of energy-sucking vampires...
A "Slenderman" Development...
My latest Mysterious Universe feature is on a strange entity that began as an Internet meme in 2009, and which, many believe, strode right out of the domain of fantasy and into the real world. Its name: the Slenderman.
The article isn't an overview of the phenomenon, however. Rather, it highlights a Slenderman-type encounter that occurred specifically before the phenomenon began, something which leads to a notable question:
Did the 2009 creation of the Slenderman meme create a Tulpa-like, living equivalent? Or did a real, earlier Slenderman exist before the fictional one was looming on the horizon?
The encounter in question was published (and takes up a whole chapter) in my book, There's Something in the Woods , which was published in 2008, one year before the Slenderman phenomenon began. So, there's no chance that the witness could have been influenced by the Slenderman tales, since they hadn't even begun when the book was published. Plus, the incident itself occurred in 2001, no less than 14 years ago.
The article starts like this:
"You may have seen the recent publicity given to a story coming out of the U.K. of sightings in and around Britain’s Cannock Chase woods, of something described as looking like the legendary 'Slenderman.' It’s a fictional character created in June 2009 by Eric Knudsen (using the alias of 'Victor Surge,' at the forum section of the Something Awful website), who took his inspiration from the world of horror fiction.
"The Slenderman (also spelled as Slender Man) is a creepy creature indeed: tall, thin, with long arms, a blank (faceless, even) expression, and wearing a dark suit, it sounds almost like a nightmarish version of the Men in Black. While there is no doubt that Knudsen was the creator of what quickly became a definitive, viral, meme, people have since claimed to have seen the Slenderman in the real world."
