A Year End Semi-Review: Peter Watt’s “The Island”

One thing I haven’t posted this past year very much is science fiction, mine or others’. Too bad given that it’s in the title of this ‘zine/blog. Well, so I got distracted. It happens to folks at times. A lot of things caught my eye this year. Enough excuses. For our end of the year/decade [...]

Bigelow’s BAASS

Fortean blogger Rick Philips has found something strange and anomalous concerning UFO sightings reporting, MUFON and an organization called BAASS that is run by Bigelow Aerospace: As many of you may know, I run several blogs including one about UFO Disclosure since late 2007. And, recently, again as you may know, I ran a post [...]

SETI Hits The Mainstream

Well, to me SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) has always been mainstream. The tools SETI uses for its searches are radio telescopes, primarily the Allen Telescope Array in Northern California. The idea is to scan the skies for radio signals from civilizations approximately the technological equivalent (or superior) of our own. I have always had [...]

Is Climate Science a New Religion?

Physicist Wal Thornhill of Electric Universe fame laments on the terrible condition science is in now-a-days as it takes on the mantle of religion, mainly when it comes to Anthropogenic Climate Change: The Global Warming circus in Copenhagen was politics driven by a consensus that, by definition, has nothing to do with science. The apocalyptic [...]

From the Thunderbolts Blog: Comet Crystals

Studying Fortean subjects sometimes mean taking on the status quo. I have been interested in all things outer space for over forty years and one of the most controversial subjects I have studied is the Electric Universe Theory. And the foremost website out there for proponents of the theory is Thunderbolts.info: Saturn’s moon Phoebe Comet [...]

Climate Chaos

When people talk about ‘climate change’ now-a-days, they usually mean ‘anthropocentric’ climate change, which means climate change influenced by human activity. I used to be in the above crowd. Why not? 250 years of Industrial Revolution actions that dumped millions of tons of hydrocarbon waste into the atmosphere surely must have an effect? And to [...]

Tinfoil Tuesday: Nibiru Nadda

It’s been a long time since I posted something about Nibiru. Mainly because there hasn’t been anything new to write about. Now there’s still many folks who claim that Nibiru is coming and the end of the world is nigh in 2012, since Nibiru is going to have a close fly-by of the Earth at [...]

Holiday ‘MEarth’ and a possible new direction for NASA

Astronomers Wednesday have discovered ‘MEarth.’ No, not mirth (although some could use it this holiday season). “MEarth”, as in “mega-earth”: Astronomers said Wednesday that they had discovered a planet composed mostly of water.You would not want to live there. Besides the heat — 400 degrees Fahrenheit on the ocean surface — the planet is probably cloaked [...]

The Land of Woo and Biocentrism

I am not a scientist of any kind, in any sense of the definition. Theories in science, especially nowadays, have taken on an aura that feels like stepping onto a speeding subway train without it stopping to let you on. Now, I know that I have posted about various theories of quantum physics and its [...]
