January 27th, 2024 – Austin, Texas

Howdy UFOlks and Anomalists everywhere! Happy New Year! It has been far too long since our last eNewsletter back in September 2023.

We started doing the Anomaly Archives eNews back in January of 2005 and then creating the MailChimp versions starting in January 2016. So we’ve been fulfilling part of our nonprofit’s Public Education mission through these efforts for about 20 years (we formed the 501c3 nonprofit back in 2003).

The Anomaly Archives will continue putting out similar eNewsletters but there will be changes going forward into 2024. Stay tuned for updates!

In the meantime, check out our recent post at the website with all of my favorite links from 2023 as I take a two-part look back in the official…

The Anomaly Archives Email Newsletter

September 27th, 2023 – Austin, Texas

Greetings everyone. There are a ton of links I want to share so let’s dive in…

Recent local paranormal activities…

 

We’ve told you about Ryan Sprague’s free “Anomacon” online event before and it went forward as scheduled and was a great achievement with a ton of fantastic presentations. If you missed the event’s premiere you can watch the entire day’s recordings. Ryan says he’ll likely be subdividing the presentations and uploading them individually but for now, you can surf through each day’s 11-plus hours of lectures. Check em out at the links above.

At the end of last month I recorded a podcast episode with longtime friend Russell Dowden, for his new Paranoid America podcast series. My appearance marked his eleventh episode and you can watch that HERE. I really enjoyed chatting with Russ and reminiscing with him. One of the things we talked about was the history of how his publishing career started – you can watch an excerpt from the show wherein I describe the Origins of Russell’s Weird Publishing Career.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of seeing Greg and Dana Newkirk present their storytelling approach to the paranormal worlds of haunted objects at the Stateside theater that is part of the historic Paramount theater on Congress Avenue in downtown Austin. This was one of three stops on the Texas leg of their current tour promoting their Haunted Objects podcast, Museum of the Paranormal, and their new movie, The Unbinding, which is a documentary about a mysterious statue allegedly found in the Catskill mountains.

The Newkirks have been part of a movement of paranormal investigators using something called the Estes Method (see link for background on this intriguing technique pioneered by some of the Newkirk’s closest creative cocreators). Local paranormal performance artists known as The Austin Séance, publish the Journal of Séance and Spiritualist History whose Summer 2023 issue features an article in its “History and How-To” column titled, “The Estes Method & the Modern Séance – Combining radio scanning and sensory deprivation for surprising results.” Therein you can see a photo of local Weird ATX / Beyond Weird Paranormal podcaster Megan experimenting with the Estes Method.

“A. Lucio and Jake Cordero of The Austin Séance demonstrate tools used by working mediums and then employ those tools in a modern recreation of an old-time séance.”

  • Second Summer Rock / Saucer Skipping … Song/Music-Of-The-Week

In the ongoing experiencing of our Second Summer following our False Fall seasonal transition we present to you another Saucerian Summer Song. In recent  issues of this newsletter, I’ve joked about the Summertime activity of “skipping rocks” that reminds one of the description generating the classic Flying Saucers phrase, that described the motion of a rock or saucer skipping across the water. Well, this week’s musical video interlude certainly stirs some paranormal waters with its imagery. We hope you enjoy the video.

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of legendary conspiracy researcher and zine publisher, Kenn Thomas. We’ve known Kenn since the 1990s. He was to be one of our honored speakers at the ill-fated 2001 National UFO Conference. In the photo above, I finally had the chance to meet Kenn in-person at the 2018 ParaMania party aboard the Steamboat Natchez in New Orleans. Kenn will be greatly missed.

Farewell Flying Saucerer…

David Perkins: October 18, 1945 – August 20, 2023David Perkins: October 18, 1945 – August 20, 2023

Last week I learned of the passing of friend and researcher, David Perkins. When I encountered his ideas a few decades ago I knew I’d found a kindrid spirit and fellow seeker. News of his passing has sent ripples through the UFO community and rekindled my ongoing grief over the loss of friends and family. Back in 2020 David and I had a great conversation as part of the Streamathon Emergency Fundraiser wherein I excitedly explored my ideas about the nature of the UFO phenomenon as inspired by his and other researchers whose perspectives I deeply respect. While his passing saddens me I’ve been glad to learn that his massive library has been donated to David Marler’s National UFO Historical Records Center nonprofit there in New Mexico. Farewell my fellow Space Brother…

 

Everything is Connected: The Influence of the Internet on Conspiracy Theory, its Communities and Culture

What weird times we are living through. Late last year a friend reached out to tell me they had been interviewed by a young lady doing grant funded research on the influence of the internet on conspriacy communities. After looking into her public work I took the plunge and began interacting with her as part of the project. Then earlier this year she told me the NYTimes wanted her to do an article on the project but focused on one of her interviewees to give it a more personal angle. So we did another interview and continued our discussions. The article was published online earlier this month and appeared in the physical print version of the NYTimes on Sunday, August 6th.

UFO Dives Into A Lake Generating A Huge Explosion But Leaving No Debris – Close Encounters

Featuring Clas Svhan & Kevin Randle

“In Sweden, a man sees a UFO hitting a lake, generating a great explosion, but after deep research, no one could find debris of the craft.”

Book-Of-The-Week

Threads of Light to You:

by Howard and Connie Menger

Howard Menger (February 17, 1922 – February 25, 2009) was an American contactee who claimed to have met extraterrestrials throughout the course of his life, meetings which were the subject of books he wrote, such as From Outer Space To You and The High Bridge Incident. Menger, who rose to prominence as a charismatic contactee detailing his chats with friendly Adamski-style Venusian “space brothers” in the late 1950s, was accepted by some UFO believers.

Later in his life Menger stated in several documentaries that he believed he had misunderstood the space aliens and where they came from. He stated the space aliens did not live on Venus but they had bases on Venus or were passing by or exploring the planet.[1][2] Menger also wrote about this newer position about where he believed the space people come from in one of his later books.

Menger states:

“‘Years ago, on a T.V. program, when I first voiced my opinion that the people I met and talked with from the craft might not be extraterrestrial, it was thought that I had recanted. However, they (the aliens) said they had just come from the planet we call Venus (or Mars). It is my opinion that these space travelers may have by-passed or visited other planets (as we are planning) but were not native to those planets any more than our astronauts are native to the moon.'” [3]

There are also some who claim the memories of Howard Menger, George Adamski, Buck Nelson and other contactees were manipulated by evil ET’s (known as the Omegans) in order to trick them into believing in life on Venus in order to discredit the message of the positive ET’s.[4]

Menger had religious revelations to impart after his “experiences,” and also came back from his contacts with practical messages.

When he was still young he moved with his parents to the rolling hills of Hunterdon County, New Jersey. His first alleged contact with a person from another planet was at the age of ten, in the woods near his hometown of High Bridge, New Jersey.[5]

“For conspiracy theorists dedicated to the moon landing, Bigfoot and UFOs, the development of QAnon, crisis actors and government false flags have introduced unwanted political and financial elements to their favorite pastime. Annie Kelly is a postdoctoral researcher working on conspiracy theories and a correspondent for the podcast “QAnon Anonymous.” She joins host Krys Boyd to talk about how these old-school skeptics raised on late-night call-in radio fear modern day conspiracy theorists are giving their passion a bad name.

Music-Of-The-Week

Authentic Music From Another Planet
by Howard Menger

“Authentic Music From Another Plant Full Song by Howard Menger In the 1950’s Howard Menger claimed to be visited by friendly space people from other physical planets in other star systems in the universe. The friendly space people are concerned about the immorality and constant warfare on this planet. They see us as their brothers and sisters. They helped Menger to learn this song so it could uplift and evolve all those who willingly listen to it by unlocking from the subconscious feelings of universal love which is the feelings of compassion, morality, and understanding. They hope one day the Earth may be a moral and peaceful world so they can come to our planet openly and invite us to join their interstellar group.”

Roswell Anniversary Flashback and More

The Anomaly Archives Email Newsletter

July 4, 2023 – Austin, Texas

Welcome to the July 2023 edition of the Anomaly Archives eNews. Happy World UFO Day / Week, AGAIN! It’s a contested dual / duel competition as to whether you are more inclined to celebrate Kenneth Arnold’s historic June 24th sighting of a series of crescent shaped objects moving like saucers skipping across water over Mt Rainier or the infamous July 2nd alleged crash of a mysterious object in Roswell, both occurring in the Summer of 1947.

Well, let’s not forget that the first “Flying Saucer” sighting may predate the Saucer Summer of ’47 by nearly 70 years: First “Flying Saucer” was in Texas  (via TexasCoopPower).

Is there any more iconic Summertime activity than skipping stones across the water? Okay, swimming, for sure but…

Michael Shellenberger on UFO Whistleblower – Skeptic

The Michael Shermer Show # 359

“Shermer and Shellenberger discuss:

    • the original article in Debrief
    • the authors Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal
    • why this story was not covered by the New York Times or the Washington Post
    • whistleblower David Grusch and his claim that the U.S. government and its allies have in their possession “intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin,” along with the dead alien pilots
    • claims of the many types of alien ships and alien beings, and that the aliens might be multi-dimensional in nature
    • that there is a sophisticated cover-up by the military of which even the POTUS isn’t aware
    • what Shellenberger’s new sources told him about Grusch’s claims, and more…

Michael Shellenberger is an investigative journalist who has broken major stories on crime and drug policy; homelessness; Amazon deforestation; rising climate resilience; growing eco-anxiety; the U.S. government’s role in the fracking revolution; climate change and California’s fires, and now UFO whistleblowers, which he revealed in his substack article in Public. He was on the show previously to discuss his book Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All, and since then he wrote San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities. Earlier this year he worked with Elon Musk, Bari Weiss, and Matt Taibbi on the “Twitter Files,” which revealed the extent to which censorship of unpopular ideas and politically incorrect beliefs was rampant at Twitter before Musk purchased the company. In his Public Substack article Shellenberger revealed what he learned from UFO whistleblowers, which he shares with us in this episode.”

Ingo Swann: A Life Gone Wild
New Thinking Allowed with Jeffrey Mishlove

“Ingo Swann (1933-2013) led what can only be called a life filled with a constellation of connections.

In 2009, Ingo invited filmmakers into his home to begin what was going to be a documentary on his contributions to remote viewing, but what happened instead was it turned into a wild ride into with myriad of facets of Ingo’s life. Footage shot during this time, from 2009-2011, captured Ingo at his eccentric best, and was coupled with interviews of 20+ people who had been in Ingo’s orbit at some point during his life’s adventures.

After Ingo passed away, Swann-Ryder Productions, LLC, began expanding the dimensions of the film, and between 2015-2017, 30+ additional interviews were undertaken, covering everything from Ingo’s early days, to his encounters with UFOs and ETs, to his sojourn into the powers of the human mind. In total, the footage shows that Ingo’s life is truly as Ingo said, “… a life gone wild.”

A short trailer was created offering a hint of what a full-length documentary film could be. This short film, the video herein, won Best Bio Pic at the 2017 Philip K. Dick Film Festival in New York City. We are releasing this short film on the New Thinking Allowed channel with permission. We hope you enjoy this small peek into the life of Ingo Swann.”

Memoirs of a Monster Hunter

A Five-Year Journey in Search of the Unknown

by Nick Redfern

“For centuries, people across the world have had a fascination with monsters and strange creatures. They marvel at the tales and legends of the Bigfoot of the Pacific Northwest; of the Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas; of the infamous and diabolical Moth-Man of West Virginia; of fire-breathing dragons; and of those dark denizens of the deep: lake monsters and sea serpents. But do such creatures really exist? Can it be true that our planet is home to fantastic beasts that lurk deep within its forests and waters? Memoirs of a Monster Hunter proves the answer is a resounding yes!

In this follow-up to his wildly successful Three Men Chasing Monsters, paranormal investigator and author Nick Redfern chronicles his surreal road-trip through the United States and beyond in search of all-things monstrous. His strange adventures lasted five years and saw him doggedly pursuing a menagerie of creatures, including gargoyles, giant birds, and what some believe are living dinosaurs.”

Photo above: Jim Bunnell, Renee Lewis (behind), Rob Riggs, Miles Lewis (behind), Paul Devereux, and others from the trip to the Big Thicket.

Excerpts below detail the Ghost Lights Mini-Conference put on by the Anomaly Archives with the help and sponsorship of Rob Riggs. Anomaly Archives founder SMiles Lewis MC’d the event which featured Nick Redfern, England’s earth lights researcher Paul Devereux, and Marfa, Texas mystery lights researcher Jim Bunnell.

“The Real Commentaries of the Incas or First part of the real commentaries is a historical-literary book written by the Peruvian writer Inca Garcilaso de la Vega . It was published in Lisbon in 1609 . It deals with the history, customs and traditions of Ancient Peru , although focusing on the Inca period . It is the first great work of Peruvian literature and one of the most important of the colonial period. Some consider it as the epic song of the Peruvian nationality. In the historiographical field he had a lot of influence between Peruvian and American historians, until the middle of the 19th century, when its historical value began to be questioned.”

While Mike talks computer games and movies something over Weston’s right shoulder catches his eye. Something in the distance. Is that a bunch of balloons? This is a CG reconstruction of a real UFO sighting that happened to Mike, Wes & Jon in Las Vegas back in 1998.”

Forbidden Science 5

The Journals of Jacques Vallee 2000-2009

by Jacques Vallee

A Reframing of Unidentified Phenomena

This volume, the fifth in a series, continues Jacques Vallee’s insider view into UFO research and the government’s often reluctant efforts to to deal with the issue. Set in the midst of global financial and political upheaval, as well as heartbreaking person losses, Vallee explains how during this decade UFOs could be studied in novel ways and how the government came to seriously revisit the issue in the face of possible threats to national security. Of great interest is how Vallee was drawn into the Defense Intelligence Agency’s secret UFO program known as the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP); for the first time we gain insight into how it developed, as well as its problems and promise. Here, in ten years of carefully curated journal entries, partly drawn from classified research, Vallée shows how a few teams of scientists and physicians have brought about a remarkable reframing of unidentified phenomena.

Vale Robbie Graham (1981-2023)

It is with a heavy heart and extremely twisted feelings that I relay news of the passing of Robbie Graham. I became aware of his work over ten years ago and was honored to be a contributor to the anthology he edited, UFOs: Reframing the Debate. He had since founded August Night Press and was publishing a variety of important works.

UFO tv-show “Sweet Cigarettes”

“Since the 1930s, Sweet Cigarettes had been popular with children.

White sticks of candy with a splodge of red at one end, they came in a rough facsimile of a fag packet and even had collectable cigarette-style cards in them.

But attitudes to smoking were changing, and by the end of the 1970s, sweet cigarettes became ‘candy sticks’ and the red tip disappeared.”

FLASHBACK

The Life & Works of Eugenia Macer-Story

Exploring the Life-Work of Artist / Clairvoyant / Paranormal-Investigator Eugenia Macer-Story with SMiles Lewis, Stephanie Quick, Professor WHAM & Ben Roylance

From Jacques Vallee’s Forbidden Science Journal – Volume 3 on page 61 for the March 2, 1981 entry he mentions meeting Eugenia Macer-Story:

“This morning I met Eugenia Macer-Story, a perceptive analyst of the paranormal with whom I have corresponded. She was waiting for me on 18th Street in front of a theater; a serious figure dressed in jeans, graying hair, a plastic jacket, fragile and smart like all Greenwich Village. We spent an hour at a nearby coffee shop discussing her experiences and my own work. She believes there is a criminal psychic network that employs gifted subjects, and may be involved in cattle mutilations. Eugenia made a strong impression on me. Once she took off her plastic smock, her New York slick armor, she was a good friend, a colleague in a puzzling field where we both have more intuitions and speculations than hard facts.”

Read a poem by Professor WHAM titled For Eugenia

Video-Of-The-Week

An international team of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) investigators explores the Colombian Andes seeking solutions for the “Dancing Lights” of La Peña de Juaica.

Similar anomalous lights to those recorded in Norway’s Hessdalen Valley are witnessed between the Colombian villages of Tenjo and Tabio, about 45 kilometres (28 miles) north of Bogotá. Indigenous Muiscas knew the spectacular hill La Peña de Juaica as “The Door of the Gods” and local traditions maintain that it was baptized in 1608 AD as “The Hill of Dancing Lights” after colonists reported fast-moving multi-coloured lights in the air around its summit.

While the dancing lights of Colombia are similar to the Hessdalen Valley light phenomena, they are much older. Over the last 400 years the phenomenon has been called: El Encanto (The Charm), Mohan and Mohana (Indigenous spirits), Quicuyo (Black Worm) and Balón de Oro (Golden Ball). However, over the last sixty years the lights have most often been reported as ‘OVNIs’ (UFOs).

Season 1 Features:

  • Ashley Cowie – History Fuzz
  • Vinnie Adams – Disclosure Team
  • Dan Zetterstrom – That UFO Podcast
  • Walter Payne – Space Analyst – U.A.V. Pilot
  • Lydia Romer – Attorney and Judge

The Superhumanities

Historical Precedents, Moral Objections, New Realities 

by Jeffrey J. Kripal

A bold challenge to rethink the humanities as intimately connected to the superhuman and to “decolonize reality itself.”

What would happen if we reimagined the humanities as the superhumanities? If we acknowledged and celebrated the undercurrent of the fantastic within our humanistic disciplines, entirely new cultural worlds and meanings would become possible. That is Jeffrey J. Kripal’s vision for the future—to revive the suppressed dimension of the superhumanities, which consists of rare but real altered states of knowledge that have driven the creative processes of many of our most revered authors, artists, and activists. In Kripal’s telling, the history of the humanities is filled with precognitive dreams, evolving superhumans, and doubled selves. The basic idea of the superhuman, for Kripal, is at the core of who and what the human species has tried to become over millennia and around the planet.

After diagnosing the basic malaise of the humanities—that the truth must be depressing—Kripal shows how it can all be done differently. He argues that we have to decolonize reality itself if we are going to take human diversity seriously. Toward this pluralist end, he engages psychoanalytic, Black critical, feminist, postcolonial, queer, and ecocritical theory. He works through objections to the superhumanities while also recognizing the new realities represented by the contemporary sciences. In doing so, he tries to move beyond naysaying practices of critique toward a future that can embrace those critiques within a more holistic view—a view that recognizes the human being as both a social-political animal as well as an evolved cosmic species that understands and experiences itself as something super.”

Greetings fellow Anomalists. Welcome to another edition of the Anomaly Archives eNews. I’m excited to announce that Mark Jackson and I will resume our weekly live anomalous news roundup show, Anomaly-NOW!, this Wednesday evening, January 25th at 7pm CST.

So long Amazon-Smile program… hello Patreon!

As many of you have likely heard, Amazon is ending its “Smile” charity donation program. This is an extreme disappoint and many are expressing their dismay at the company’s decision and the way they have announced this significant change. See commentary at WPTVnews, Nicole Schuman at PRnewsOnline, Seth’s Blog, and older critiques of the Amazon Smile program and the company in general at HeyDavid (circa 2019), John Kenyon (circa 2017?), and ArsTechnica (circa 2015). The “donation” program has always been problematic but it was a funding source we were slowly cultivating and growing – but no more. Thanks to all of you who participated over the past several years by choosing us as your charity of choice; you have until the end of February to continue supporting us through this soon to be ending charitable funding source.

Meanwhile… the Anomaly Archives will soon be launching a new membership community fundraising portal using the Patreon platform along with an educational initiative that has been a part of the long-term mission and vision for the Anomaly Archives / Scientific Anomaly Institute.

More details coming soon.

The Mythologist © NFTS 2004
The National Film & Television School 

“Synopsis: On the surface ‘Armen Victorian’ seems like a regular guy. He lives in Nottingham with his wife and two children and his occupations have been variously listed as insurance salesman, shop assistant and cleaner. But dig a little deeper and Armen’s life starts to resemble that of a latter-day Walter Mitty.

Diplomat, adventurer, UFO investigator, crop circle researcher, intelligence officer – is this the secret life of a Nottingham shop assistant? His world is a shadowy world of counter-espionage, disinformation, subterfuge, spooks, spies, lies and the keeping and revealing of secret knowledge.

The Mythologist explores Armen’s life and his impact on the murky and mythic realms of paranormal research”

Dreams: Your Magic Mirror

With Interpretations of Edgar Cayce

by Elsie Sechrist

 

“The book that started thousands on their journey of dream study and interpretation is now available to a new generation. Elsie Sechrist knew well-known psychic Edgar Cayce personally and received readings from him. In its seventh printing, Dreams: Your Magic Mirror provides clear evidence from Sechrist’s own research and from the Cayce material that dreams are of crucial importance to all of us. Includes a foreword written by Hugh Lynn Cayce, Edgar’s eldest son. 

Until her death in 1992, Elsie Sechrist was an internationally known speaker on dreams and the Edgar Cayce readings who lectured at colleges, universities, and churches. She also appeared on numerous radio and television shows providing audiences throughout the world with guidance in dream interpretation.”
