KTXK.org UFO & Bigfoot Event Coverage

Tx UFO Con Coverage

  • Nick Redfern is a notable author, researcher and journalist – whose research and writing on cryptids and UFOs has garnered him appearances on the history channel, BBC, Travel Channel and many others – On Saturday he was the key note speaker at the first Texas UFO convention in Jefferson Texas – Sabrina McCormick Reports   (November 23,  2022).
  • Sabrina McCormick caught up with speakers from the first Texas UFO Convention in Jefferson Texas recently. The conference was held this past Saturday there, and featured researchers and authors focusing on UFO encounters in the Lone Star State. In this instalment, she talks with an archivist out of Austin, Texas who is trying to make information sharing about these encounters and other such anomalies easier to access.   (November 22,  2022).
  • The city of Jefferson held its first annual UFO convention over the weekend – Sabrina McCormick covered the event, which featured a panel of experts that spoke about unexplained encounters in Texas  (November 21,  2022).
  • If you’re looking for an out of this world experience, Jefferson, Texas may have the solution you seek. The city will host its first annual UFO convention this Saturday. It will feature a cross section of Texas UFO enthusiasts and experts says event organizer, Craig Woolheater. Sabrina McCormick reports  (November 16,  2022). 

 

Tx Bigfoot Conf Coverage

  • Jefferson Texas has become known as the Bigfoot Capital of Texas, there is even a statue of the famed cryptid prominently placed in the city. For the last several years, the city has hosted the Texas Bigfoot Convention. The three-day event serves as a place where enthusiasts, cryptozoologists and people who have had unusual and unexplained experiences can come to swap stories and learn more about the creature (and a host of other such cryptids). Sabrina McCormick spoke with several of the event’s speakers, this interview features world explorer Adam Davies.  (October 28,  2022).
  • Native Texan, Lyle Blackburn may wear only one hat (that is the signature black, wide brimmed cowboy hat he is often seen in) but he has many roles including author, actor, musician, and cryptozoological researcher. As a child Blackburn became fascinated with the Boggy Creek monster after watching the film. Today, he has become a notable expert on the beast and other such cryptids. Sabrina McCormick spoke with Blackburn at the Texas Big Foot Conference held in Jefferson, Texas this October.   (October 28,  2022).
  • From the wilds of Texas’ back country to the streets of the Dallas Metroplex, paranormal phenomena and strange creatures abound in Jason McLean’s book Metroplex Monsters. Sabrina McCormick spoke with McLean recently at the Texas Bigfoot Conference in Jefferson.   (October 28,  2022).
  • According to the Bigfoot Research Organization, or BFRO, regional sightings of the cryptid in the state of Oklahoma are most prevalent in LeFlore County, close to the Arkansas Border. The second most common area for sightings is nearby McCurtain County. The mountains stretch through both counties. At a recent Bigfoot Conference in Jefferson Texas, Sabrina McCormick spoke with one researcher who has been studying and documenting sightings in the Kiamichi area for more than twenty years. Today she files the last in a series of interviews from that conference.  (October 28,  2022).

Book-Of-The-Week

From JoshuaCutchin.com:

“Eyewitnesses, investigators, and cryptozoologists worldwide contend ample evidence exists supporting the survival of large, hairy, apelike creatures alongside mankind today, lurking in the wilderness. By all appearances, these beings appear wholly natural, interacting with their surroundings and leaving behind hair, blood, droppings, and, of course, footprints.

Yet despite their apparently physical nature, bigfoot and its hairy hominid kin consistently appear mired in High Strangeness—the peculiar, ineffable, and nonsensical absurdities so often encountered in paranormal phenomena.

Some sightings seem more consistent with mythology than biology. Bigfoot often present supernatual attributes, like luminescent eyes or the ability to pass, ghostlike, through structures.  Anomalous lights are regulalry seen in areas of frequent sasquatch activity. Footprints persistently, if rarely, display odd numbered toes, and—most bafflingly—bigfoot trackways suddenly terminate in the middle of open, untouched terrain.

In Volume 1 of Where the Footprints End: High Strangeness and the Bigfoot Phenomenon, authors Joshua Cutchin and Timothy Renner carefully examine not only the intersection of hairy apemen with global folklore—of poltergeists, faeries, extraterrestrials, magic, witches, ghosts, and archetypal women-in-white—but also question the fundamental assumptions underlying contemporary cryptozoological beliefs surrounding bigfoot.”

Book & Video(s) Of The Week!

Back in 2002 a book was published that sent rippling shock-waves through the UFO community. That book was about possible anti-gravity propulsion and was written by the most unexpected author, Nick Cook. Nick was the aviation editor of Jane’s Defence Weekly (the international defense journal) in the 1990s. He continued as “an aerospace consultant and contributor to the journal from 2002 to 2008” and “won four Journalism Awards from the Royal Aeronautical Society in the Defence, Business, Technology, and Propulsion categories.” Though I felt fairly versed in the material, I only just recently acquired a copy of the book and began voraciously reading it from cover to cover. The book is an entertaining account of his global search for evidence of such secret propulsion technology. Along the way he met with Austin’s own Hal Puthoff while trying to better understand the nature of the alleged physics underpinning the title of the book… The Hunt for Zero Point!

Having not heard anything about him in many years, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that, besides returning to the field of UFOs and exotic propulsion, he had been continuing his explorations into the unknown through researching psychic Remote Viewing, the After-Life, and Consciousness generally. In the wake of the 2017 NYTimes revelations about AAWSAP / AATIP and the revitalization of the UFO field under the new UAP moniker, Nick had even submitted his own essay to the 2021 BICS (Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies) Essay Contest and in doing so garnered $20,000 as an Honorable Mention for his essay, What Is The Best Available Evidence For The Survival Of Human Consciousness after Permanent Bodily Death? [PDF] (see also Greg Taylor of DailyGrail.com‘s essay which also garnered an honorable mention and awarded funds [PDF]).

So below in our Videos-Of-The-Week section you’ll find recent presentations by Nick Cook on his past Hunt For Zero Point research and where that lead him … including a discussion with Jeffrey Mishlove titled High Strangeness, UFOs, and the Afterlife. Nick and Jeff connected at the BICS awards event where Jeffrey Mishlove accepted 1st Prize (and $500,000) for his essay [PDF].

As usual, we have a ton of news links for you to explore in our Anomalous News section below.

We hope you enjoy this issue of the Anomaly Archives eNews.

High Strangeness, UFOs, and the Afterlife with Nick Cook

“Nick Cook is author of twenty fiction and nonfiction titles includingThe Hunt for Zero Point: Inside the Classified World of Antigravity Technology, and a popular parapsychological thriller, The Grid. He is the former aviation editor of Jane’s Defense Weekly.

Here he describes his interest in reconciling consciousness research, the paranormal, and nuts and bolts descriptions of unidentified aerial phenomena. He describes events from his childhood that triggered this quest for knowledge. He also shares his understanding that the universe, itself, is conscious. In this conversation, Jeffrey Mishlove shares some stories concerning his investigation of Ted Owens, “the PK Man.”

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death. (Recorded on December 3, 2021)”

Nick Cook – Beyond Zero Point: Black Projects & UAPs

“Go beyond “Zero Point” as Nick Cook discusses secret aerospace defense projects and UAPs. Nick is the former aviation editor of Jane’s Defence Weekly, and to discuss what’s changed since HZP’s publication, and the rapidly-evolving UAP story.

Back in 2001, Nick Cook stunned the world with The Hunt for Zero Point” , which offered insights into the secret Nazi weapons programs of World War II and how those influenced classified aerospace research over the course of the 20th century.

He joins us today to discuss what has changed since HZP’s publication, and offers his thoughts and insights on rapidly-evolving UAP story and how social & geopolitical trends are shaping the aerospace needs of tomorrow.”

The Hunt For Zero Point:

Inside the Classified World of AntiGravity Technology

by Nick Cook

“Twenty years ago, he broke open the secret world of aerospace black projects — here’s what he thinks the defense industry should tackle next. We’re joined by Nick Cook, award-winning aerospace & defense journalist, former aviation editor of Jane’s Defence Weekly, best-selling author of The Hunt for Zero Point, and the founder of the NCW Action Global. Nick joins us to discuss emerging aerospace technologies, defense-industry black projects, and a cross-sector industry initiative to find solutions to global challenges.”

“An editor for the esteemed Jane’s Defense Weekly says the U.S. government has been working on Nazi anti-gravity technology in secret for 50 years.”

Miguel Romero – “Smoke, Mirrors & Plexig

Website: AbsurdByDesign.comlass Windows: The Nested Deceptions of Planet UMMO”

Agnostic gnostic, walking conundrum & metaphysical oxymoron (with emphasis in the ‘moron’ part), the mysterious RPJ leaves a double life: By day he serves as Grand Master of the International Sacred Order of Lucha Libre, but at night he pursues his life-long study of everything considered mysterious and/or ‘paranormal’ –a term he personally detests… When he’s not exploring the web looking for his daily fix of Forteana, he can be found blogging, doodling, fooling around and offering his services as news administrator and writer at The Daily Grail. He also regularly participates in other websites and podcasts like Radio Misterioso and Where Did the Road Go? He impatiently awaits for the return of the mothership in Mexico City.”

Professor WHAM – “Aliens or Alienated: Hidden Assumptions About Race That Persist In Paranormal Cultures”

Website: ProfessorWHAM.com

“WHAM is a history wonk with too many degrees and a love of the occult, mysticism, shamanism, all things paranormal and horror fiction. Her specialties are religious history, Sufism, Runes and UFO/alien phenomena. Her super hero name is an acronym for a lengthy Arabic Sufi name that her friends refuse to spell or pronounce. WHAM has actual academic degrees, under a mundane name more suitable for a podiatrist, and works most days as a college teacher and data analyst. She currently lives in the Hudson Valley, where she is also known as Professor WHAM. She is a consultant for the Bigfoot Researchers of the Hudson Valley and teaches workshops on meditation, paranormal topics and esoteric subjects. WHAM is also involved with several projects in the Hudson Valley that support Native and environmental concerns. She is also a Co-Host on Church of Mabus Radio.“

Brent Raynes – “The Myths and Mysteries of the UFO Matrix”

Website: APmagazine.info

“Brent has been the Editor of Alternate Perceptions Magazine since he began publishing earlier renditions of it in the 1970s. Brent began researching UFO events in the late 60s and met nearly every major contactee and researcher in the field. He wrote articles for Fate Magazine, Recovery Times, and various other magazines as well as writing a chapter for Dr. Bert Schwarz’s UFO Dynamics, sections for Dr. Greg Little’s Grand Illusions and People of the Web. He has presented at several major UFO conferences and been a co-leader of tours to American mound sites. Brent is author of the books Visitors from Hidden Realms and On The Edge of Reality.”

Craig Woolheater – “Caddo Creatures – Bigfoot in Jefferson, Texas”

Websites: Texas Bigfoot Research Center / Cryptomundo.com

“When I was a child I was always interested in strange and unusual subjects. I was extremely interested in dinosaurs as I’m sure most kids are. When I was 9 years old the story of the Lake Worth Monster hit the front page of the Ft. Worth Star Telegram. My grandparents had a cabin cruiser boat on Eagle Mountain Lake which was separated by a dam from Lake Worth. I had spent many a night on that boat anchored out in the middle of Eagle Mountain Lake. As you can guess, the many scenarios involving the creature ran through my head. The story died down in November of 1969. The next year I obtained a copy of John A. Keel’s book Strange Creatures from Time & Space. It was very influential to me. Of course, like most people interested in Bigfoot, I saw the movie The Legend of Boggy Creek. I saw it in the theater and it made me think about the possibility that Bigfoot was closer to me than I had previously thought. …  We formed the Texas Bigfoot Research Center in June of 1999. The rest as they say is history. In January, 2007, the TBRC reorganized as a 501(c)(3), non-profit, scientific research organization. The organization’s name was the Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy. In March 2013, the organization has adopted the name North American Wood Ape Conservancy (NAWAC). I resigned from the organization on July 10, 2010 to focus my attention on other endeavors, such as Cryptomundo. As of December 24, 2013, I have resurrected the original TBRC, the Texas Bigfoot Research Center. I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films: OLN’s Mysterious Encounters: “Caddo Critter,” Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel’s Weird Travels: “Bigfoot,” History Channel’s MonsterQuest: “Swamp Stalker,” The Wild Man of the Navidad, Bigfoot Wars, Willow Creek, Exists, Destination America’s Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror, Lake Worth, Monster, Animal Planet’s Finding Bigfoot”

MOCK UP ON MU (2008) 114min
Directed by Craig Baldwin / Cinematography by Bill Daniel, James T. Hong, Daniel Gorrell

A radical hybrid of spy, sci-fi, Western, and even horror genres, Craig Baldwin‘s Mock Up On Mu cobbles together a feature-length “collage-narrative” based on (mostly) true stories of California’s post-War sub-cultures of rocket pioneers, alternative religions, and Beat lifestyles.

Pulp-serial snippets, industrial-film imagery, and B- (and Z-) fiction clips are intercut with newly shot live-action material, powering a playful, allegorical trajectory through the now-mythic occult matrix of Jack Parsons (Crowleyite founder of the Jet Propulsion Lab), L.Ron Hubbard (sci-fi author turned cult-leader), and Marjorie Cameron (bohemian artist and “mother of the New Age movement”). Their intertwined tales spin out into a speculative farce on the militarization of space, and the corporate take-over of spiritual fulfillment and leisure-time.
