What's New?

In April 2014, Dutch students Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon went missing on a trip to Panama, only for some of their belongings and remains to turn up a few weeks later. These fragments of evidence - including some truly bizarre photographs - appeared under inexplicable circumstances, and left investigators with more questions than answers. The Kremers and Froon case is one of many unexplained deaths and disappearances around the world that share some unexpected commonalities, and suggest at the influence of other anomalous phenomena. (continue reading)

Bothell House Haunting 

The Bothell House is the site of an alleged haunting in Bothell, Washington. Between 2012 and 2016, Keith Linder and his girlfriend at the time experienced a wide range of anomalous activity in the house that became increasingly frequent and extremely hostile. The house has now been thoroughly researched by a variety of investigators, who have together documented hundreds of sounds, light anomalies, voice recordings, and other, far more sinister, phenomena. The case stands out for the sheer quantity of occurrences, and for the lines it blurs between different types of hauntings, poltergeists, and even apparitions. (continue reading)

Abduction of Antônio Vilas-Boas, 1957 

In October of 1957, a Brazilian farmer named Antônio Vilas-Boas had an experience that’s now considered the first documented “UFO abduction” case in the post-war era.(1) Four months after the unusual events, Vilas-Boas shared his experience with a doctor and a journalist.(2) At a time when stories of UFO landings and entity encounters were dismissed out-of-hand, Antônio’s experience was widely overlooked, at first. But more than 60 years later, we see that his narrative contains many of the same elements as the common “alien abduction” experiences of the 80's and the 90's, and it was the first to suggest a rather alarming agenda on the part of the abductors.(3) (continue reading)

The Jinn: Supernatural Beings of the Muslim World​​

According to the Quran, the sacred text of Islam, the jinn are a race of mostly invisible beings that occasionally interfere in peoples’ lives, and possess their minds and bodies. The jinn of Islam grew out of earlier Mesopotamian deities and Greco-Roman daemons, but they also have a great deal in common with traditions of invisible beings and “little people” all over the world. The similarities between jinn, fairies, and twentieth-century aliens, for example, suggest that they may all be manifestations of the same phenomena, filtered through different cultures. (continue reading)

Jacques Vallée, UFOs, and the Case against Extraterrestrial Origins​​

There is probably no more influential thinker in the study of UFOs than the French astronomer and computer scientist, Jacques Vallée. Beginning in the late 1960s, Vallée drew ufologists’ attention to the symbolic or “meta-logical” qualities of UFO reports, and argued that there was a continuity of experience from anomalous sightings and entity encounters in historical folklore and mythology. For pioneering the first alternatives to the extraterrestrial explanation for UFOs, Vallée has earned a reputation as the grandfather of the “new” ufology, and he’s forced ufologists and anomalists of all persuasions to revisit old assumptions about UFOs, and what it is they’re doing here. (continue reading)

Japan Airlines 1628 UFO Encounter, 1986

Although it's not uncommon for pilots to witness UFOs, the case of Japan Airlines flight 1628 is remarkable for involving a prolonged and dramatic close encounter corroborated by multiple radar systems. The witnesses’ story attracted both media and government interest, and the resulting investigation unearthed a wealth of supporting evidence, including extensive radar data and radio transcripts that document official handling of the situation. The case is a stand-out example of an airline UFO encounter, and it tells us a lot about the ways in which the FAA, the airlines, and even the US intelligence community, work behind the scenes to manage what we hear about UFOs.​ (continue reading)
