    Edward Crabtree: When UFO witness and enthusiast Robbie Williams opened the World Cup in June of this year, it is doubtful whether he expected a UFO to show up over Russian skies so soon. On June 17th a serpentine wake materialised above one of the stadiums in Nizhny Novgorod, a river…

    It was recently announced that the Society for Psychical Research (SPR) received a £2-million donation (approximately $2.65-million in U.S. currency) from Professor Yew-Kwang Ng, emeritus professor of economics at Monash University in Australia. It is apparently intended specifically for “survival research” and is believed to be the largest endowment ever…

    It has been suggested by various philosophers that having absolute certainty of consciousness surviving death is not in humanity’s best interest.  To put it another way, some doubt on this concern is necessary for humanity to flourish.  I was curious as to what Artificial Intelligence (AI) has to say on this matter…

    Two new peer-reviewed papers claim thousands of unexplained light flashes in vintage Palomar telescope images show statistical ties to nuclear tests and UFO reports. Not everyone agrees with the paper’s conclusion. One night in 1952, five transient objects (blue circles) appeared and disappeared within an hour, archival sky surveys show.…

    Literally thousands of government employees are sworn to secrecy at the base called Area 51. Why? It is known for a fact that many USA aircraft are designed and tested there, and for national security reasons, these state-of-the-art planes and weapons demand secrecy.

    Aliens. (Image credit: Image via Shutterstock) It is conceivable that humans could someday discover aliens. We scour the cosmos looking for their radio signals, and though we’re not capable of interstellar space travel, it is remotely possible that we could find what we’re looking for right here in our solar system. Life could theoretically…

    That could mean intelligence is a fundamental property that structures like the brain interact with. The universe has no brain. It has no gray matter, no nervous system, no neurons firing electrical impulses—and yet, that physical structure may not be where intelligence and consciousness actually come from. Intelligence may exist and evolve on…
