Alien Theorists Theorizing

In the past few weeks, the world has witnessed the worrying spread of a global pandemic. The virus has become extremely infectious and spread to almost every country in the world at blazing speed. Scientists and doctors have been working tirelessly to devise new treatments and vaccines in order to try and slow down the rapid spread of this new disease. At this point, it may not be an exaggeration, when we say this global health crisis will fundamentally change the way we live our lives and how we view the world. Although it is said we live in the information age, it almost seems we have now entered into the misinformation age. Rumors and theories about the origins of this new global health risk have exploded and seem to be just as virulent as the disease itself. Is this some sort of secret government plot to aid in depopulation? A cover for the massive arrests of corrupt high profile members of the global community? Or is it a result of the incompetence and shortsightedness of political officials who are a pr

In 1975, New York City was on the brink of financial disaster. In the previous years the city officials had borrowed more money from banks to prop up its flailing local government until, finally, the banks decided that it was enough. This decision would have long-reaching repercussions that seem to have led directly to how we see the world today. The final decision to take control of a government and effectively replace publicly elected politicians with bankers would fundamentally shape the future of the modern world. Some of the world's greatest enemies like Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, Al Qaida were a direct result of carefully crafted narratives by western governments in order to maintain the status quo. The youth counter culture who thought they were rebelling and making a statement by withdrawing from public and political action played directly into the hands of the governments who were now just managers. How did one city's fall to bankers produce the carefully maintained illusion of a free w

Granite rock is known for being the oldest igneous rock in the world, forming as early as 300 million years ago. The material is one of the hardest and most durable substances known to man, second only to diamonds. With this quality in mind, it’s of little surprise that mankind has used granite in building some of the most impressive monuments in history from the pyramids to the base of the Statue of Liberty. If you were building a structure that you planned on surviving a global disaster then granite would most likely be your best bet. This consideration is perhaps what led to the construction of a mysterious stone monument that is located in the unlikely location of Elberton, Georgia known mostly for its substantial supply of granite stone. Commissioned by a mysterious group that has remained anonymous to this very day, the megalithic monuments stands 19ft tall and collectively weigh nearly 240,000 pounds. What mysterious instructions for the post-apocalypse are printed on these massive slabs? Why were they

The story of the human race has become increasingly rich and complex as we make new discoveries at a blazing pace. New species of hominids, artifacts, and structures like Gobekli Tepe are challenging the old theories and assumptions we had about our early ancestors. Still, in many circles, what is considered the hallmark of the most advanced cultures always seems to be the pyramid. Monuments that have lasted for thousands of years watching the rise and fall of the once-great empires that surrounded them. But in 2005 it was claimed that there had been a discovery of pyramids that dwarfed those that have been a landmark of the Giza Plateau and those in the jungles of Central America. In the town of Visoko one man believes he has uncovered pyramids left behind and crafted by an advanced culture that existed in the area of Bosnia-Herzegovina. What evidence is there of these magnificent structures? Are they truly the sign of the presence of a fantastically advanced pre-Ice Age civilization or are they more akin to

Earth is a lucky place. Set in the medium range from a star so that carbon based life can flourish, a large enough satellite, the Moon, to deflect incoming meteors and a stable magnetic field to ward off the worst of cosmic radiation. Despite all that, there have been several massive extinction events, that we know of, which have nearly wiped out all life on our little blue space marble. What if the next texas sized chunk of rock sailing through our solar system has our name it? Looking to science-fiction, we find that the threat of total human extinction has been mitigated due to the fact that our society has taken the leap to settle out among the other planets and moons in our cosmic neighborhood. Cities on a red Mars turned green, hollowed out asteroids where we mine for ice, and jovian moons turned to farming worlds. How far are we from turning science-fiction scenarios into reality? What challenges face our civilization as we take our first steps towards becoming an interplanetary empire? What technology

In 1976, NASA was more than happy to release photos sent back by their pioneering Viking 1 space probe. Among those photos there was a mysterious image that would set the UFO community’s collective imagination to focus on our rocky red neighbor. Of the 40 missions sent to Mars, only 18 have been deemed successful. Although, the success rate seems impressive when weighed against the many challenges of landing and surviving on the martian planet surface. Dust storms that can last for months and cover huge areas of the planet, a barely-there atmosphere, and the planet lacks the protection granted by an intrinsic global magnetic field.  For those reasons alone scientists have been hesitant to consider Mars a suitable place for a human space settlement. But there are claims that shadowy space programs have been sending people there for years. Claims that the planet was previously populated and that perhaps those martian habitants have even been living among us to save us from the same events that doomed their once

Just north of San Francisco, there is a 2,700 acre private campground set deep amongst the majestic redwood forests. Since 1872, captains of industry, media moguls, and artists have come together at an exclusive gathering every July for two weeks. To attend this invite-only meeting of money and minds you might spend as long 20 years on the lengthy waiting list. If you had been a member in the last 50 years you wouldn’t be surprised to see a few familiar faces from the U.S. Political stage. Names like Nixon, Reagan, and Bush would be among those staying within the luxuriously appointed camps. At least one journalist had infiltrated the camp and expounded on the activities that the rich and famous get up to. Painting a picture of near-constant drunken hijinks interspersed with lectures and musical performances and an abundance of public urination. But there are rumors of something sinister going on underneath the dark boughs of the secluded forests. Rumblings of idolatry and druidic practices, human sacrifice a

Kepler-47 C, a gas giant planet approximately 5 times the mass of Earth over 3,000 lightyears away. It is at least one of a few planets astronomers have observed orbiting a binary star system but if posts from an anonymous source in 2005 on an email forum including some of the time’s leading UFO researchers is to be believed, there is at least one other planet circling two stars and a team of U.S. military scientists were deployed to spend 10 years studying the planet and gather information about the inhabitants. From 2005 to 2016, a person claiming to be a retired official from within the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency began releasing information that detailed the experiences and scientific findings of the 12 brave men and women who participated in this interplanetary endeavor. Of those 12 pioneers, only 7 were said to have returned.

Throughout the 19th century, a widespread fear of being buried prematurely took hold of many European and North American communities. Rumors and stories of people who seemingly passed away due to an illness, waking up to try to claw their way out of their wooden coffins or stone mausoleums. The obsession with this fear going so far as to spawn patents and prototypes of coffins that could be connected to a small bell or some other device above ground to allow the recently deceased to signal a graveyard caretaker to come to their aid. But in a number of towns within the Northeast United States, people were not as worried about burying their dead as worried about their dead were staying buried. For almost 100 years a panic gripped the towns and cities of New England where it was believed that recently deceased were returning from beyond the grave to feed on the living essences of their living family. This fear led to numerous recorded incidents of macabre exhumations, occult practices, and in some cases, even ri

During World War II one of the most feared weapons of the Axis forces was the supremely effective German U-Boat forces. Responsible for a majority of the sinking of supply ships and materiel convoys, the submarine forces proved formidable even with their codes broken by the capture of the Enigma machine. Allied Naval forces were searching for anything that would give them an edge in the Atlantic. In the early hours of June 22, 1943 within the water of the Philadelphia Naval Yard, a witness claimed to have seen a 1,200 ton U.S. Navy Destroyer surround itself in a glowing green shroud and disappear from sight, only to reappear minutes later. This is said to have been the first test of a technology designed to completely hide a U.S. Navy ship from enemy detection but according to some sources, the second test did not go so well. Why was the second test a failure? What happened to the crewman onboard? Did the experiment produce unexpected results that led to other secretive military projects? Join the Theorists a

Missing 411: It is claimed that there may be up to 1,600 cases of disappearances on public lands that defy conventional explanation. Men, women, and children who have vanished from national parks, areas surrounding national forests, and even their own homes never to be seen again. A remarkable number of victims were persons who were familiar with the outdoors, hunters, hikers, and campers. Even those who went into these areas with large groups seemed to vanish into thin air after walking around a corner in the trail or simply stepping off a well-known path. These disappearances seemingly have a long history that ranges as far back as the 1930s. In his series of books, David Paulides has pored over these cases from public records and marked a startling number of correlations. Connections that seem to outline a bigger picture that someone or something is responsible for these disappearances. What are the points that connect many of these cases? Why are search and rescue teams unable to locate these victims afte

The Catholic Church claims that extraordinary demonic activity can take six different forms which may warrant exorcism. Possession, where single or even multiple demons may take control of a person’s body without their knowledge or consent. A case where perhaps a person might flippantly ask spirits or the devil to aid them in some physical labor and that person may exhibit extraordinary strength. Obsession, where a person may become irrational at times and experience horrid nightmares which can lead to suicidal ideation. Oppression where certain misfortunes can afflict the victim such as a series of fires on a family farm. External pain caused demonic forces, excessive bleeding, or painful marks on the body. Infestation, affecting objects inside the home, these objects moving on their own or disappearing and reappearing. Finally, Subjection, where a person voluntarily submits to a demonic force. Any one of these occurrences are meant to require an exorcism by a Catholic Priest but what if a victim shows signs

July 16, 1945. The very first atomic bomb, codenamed Trinity, was detonated at the Alamogordo Bombing Range. Thus, the human race proved it could wield the devastating power of the atom and entered the atomic age. Only 4 years later, the Soviet Union would detonate its first nuclear weapon and set the world in a position where ushering in total global annihilation would be as simple as turning a key. With planet Earth being in such a precarious situation during the early days of the Cold War, could this have been the reason for one of the most well documented and puzzling U.F.O cases in modern history? During two consecutive weeks in the month of July in 1952, Strange objects were spotted streaking through the skies above Washington D.C. The objects traveled at speeds and in patterns that indicated something of intelligent control, going so far as seemingly disappearing when pursued by military jet aircraft and then shortly reappearing after the jets left the area. Hundreds of eyewitnesses made reports of see

The roots of this candy-filled celebration of terror go far back into the history of Celtic tradition where the holiday was known as Samhain and was a time where the world of the spirits and gods would cross over into the mortal plane.
