Alien Theorists Theorizing

On the evening on November 5th, 1975 Mike Rogers was making the return trip with his logging crew from their work site within the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. Rogers stopped the truck when they spotted a luminous object moving through the treetops that did not appear to be of Earthly origins. As the floating object moved toward the truck, one of the crew decided to try and get a closer look. Travis Walton left the vehicle and as he approached the craft he was struck by a blue light that hurled him to the ground with seemingly lethal force. Afraid for his life and the lives of those of the crew still in the truck, Rogers slammed the vehicle into drive and fled from site, thinking he had just been witness to his friend’s death. After an exhaustive search by police and volunteers of the area where they had encountered the UFO, no trace of Walton was found. 5 days later Walton’s Brother-in-law received a phone call, Travis had resurfaced in a town 30 miles from where he had last been seen and believed only

The 70’s, a time of great social upheaval. Vietnam, Watergate, the equal rights movement all these events were challenging what had been considered to be traditional values. People were becoming dissatisfied with their lives and beginning to search for meaning in many unconventional places. Enter Terri Hoffman, in 1974 she founded the group known as Conscious Development of Body, Mind and Soul incorporated. During her leadership of this group Terri claimed to possess a number of supernatural abilities. She told her followers that she could astral project, observe past, present and future, and even communicate with the dead. And with these powers she believed it was her duty, alongside her followers, to wage a metaphysical war against the dark entities known as the Black Lords. Under Terri’s leadership of the group lost 10 people to death and disappearance. Were these people casualties of reality bending battles? Why did a majority of them leave all their earthly belongings to Terri Hoffman? How many 14 year o

Almost every human culture from around the world has stories of cities that are hidden beneath the ground. From the mythic city of Agartha said to lay at the center of the Earth or the shining city of Shambala that is rumored to be buried in the heart of the Himalayas. For most of history, these cities were though only to exist in myth and folklore. As archaeology has evolved with better techniques to peer into the depths of the planet many lost cities have recently been rediscovered, many of them laying deep within massive caves and cavern networks.Most of these magnificent cavern cities have their place in the historical record and seem to have been crafted with incredible intricacy and mapped and planned out as well as any surface dwelling and yet, there are others that defy explanation and hold no place in the histories of their region. Why were these amazing underground dwellings built? What were the inhabitants hiding from? Do the histories of some of these site go further back than originally thought?

During the 1960’s the United States and its allies believed they were engaged in a struggle for the very existence of the free world. The Soviet Union seemed to be spreading its influence all across the Asian continent and into parts of Western Europe, and seemed poised to take the leap across the Atlantic. For the Kennedy Administration, it’s problem was an island nation just a 103 miles from US soil. In Cuba, despite multiple efforts to stem the red tide, communism had taken root. The government of the United States feared that if the fledgling communist government was left to its own devices then the rest of South and Central America could fall to the Soviets just like well stacked dominoes. In order to stop the Latin American countries from getting ideas, the U.S. was dead set on trying to dislodge Fidel Castro’s communist regime by any means possible, even if that meant fabricating an event to justify the invasion of Cuba. How could the US start a war with Cuba? What possible justifications were on the t

In the fall of 1973, friends Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker set out for a relaxing day of fishing. Little did they know, that it was them who would be captured and released that day. The two men claimed to have been victims of an alien abduction. Experiencing a number of classic events of which we now associate with close encounters of the fourth kind. Total body paralysis, a strange examination, and telepathic communication with the beings aboard the craft on which they were taken. This event took place during the early days of Ufology and quite a bit before alien abduction stories had become mainstream. Hickson, by his own request, took a polygraph to attest to the truthfulness of his and Parker’s claims. Many abduction cases seem to share similar symptoms with waking dreams or sleep paralysis. Was this perhaps the case on that fall day in Jackson county Mississippi in 1973? Did both men just happen to have the same waking dream at the same time?

The Permean-Triassic Extinction, an event so devastating to living organisms it’s also known as “The Great Dying”. Scientists have used geologic evidence to determine that long term volcanic activity from the Siberia region led to the death of very nearly all life on planet Earth 250 million years ago. The release of so much volcanic material into the atmosphere had caused a thinning of the ozone and extended periods of acid rain, raising the overall temperature of the Earth’s climate. A vast majority of scientists now say they have accumulated data that shows our planet is now experiencing similar symptoms that were precursors to what is considered the greatest extinction event in Earth’s history. Is this simply alarmist thinking? Could the record high temperatures many countries are experiencing be a result of the Earth’s natural warming and cooling cycle? Perhaps, the heat waves many locations are facing are being caused simply by our planet’s proximity to the Sun. Are climate scientists from around the wo

In December of 1941 the Second World War had officially spilled across the Pacific and reached the US. Following the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the citizens of the US were set on edge by the fear of a Japanese attack on the West Coast of the US mainland. Some would say that fear was affirmed when a secret Japanese submarine surfaced and fired on the city of Ellwood, California on February 23, 1942. The very next night the residents of Los Angeles were witness to what, some would say, was the first ever engagement of a UFO by human military forces. Following a night filled with air raid sirens, spotlights sweeping the night sky, and Anti-Aircraft fire from American ground forces the US military was at a loss as to what had truly been seen that night. Two official reports were released, one implied that it was an enemy spy plane, the other, claiming it was a weather balloon. Multiple witnesses reported that something had been caught in the spotlights above LA that night, something that had seemed unaffect

Secured by watchful guards and neighboring mountain ranges from prying eyes in the Nevada desert sits one of UFO history’s most recognizable sites. Having a long history of military secret projects and an air of almost complete secrecy this air base has played host to the CIA, Air Force, and if some reports are to be believed extraterrestrial visitors. Recently, declassified documents have brought to light the amazing histories of some of American aviation’s greatest breakthroughs which were developed, assembled, and tested in the skies above the secret base. But, was it only MAN-made innovations that were tested within the secret hangars? Hyper Advanced Military Aircraft, Secret Military experiments in anti-gravity, massive underground facilities, and even alien interrogations, all these things have been claimed to be occurring on the grounds of one of the World’s most Secret but Not-Secret Military Bases.

In Late April 1945 the Third Reich’s days were numbered. Key members of the Nazi party including Adolf Hitler himself retreated to the heavily fortified underground facility known as The Führerbunker. It would be here that the World’s most infamous man at the time would end his life, or so official reports claim. According to Hitler’s last will and testament, instead of letting the Soviets defile his body upon capture, his lieutenants were to burn his and Eva Braun’s body and place them in an unassuming shell crater. Fortunately for the Allies, the ruse was ineffective and the Soviets reported recovering Hitler’s body and confirming his identity. Although later it would seem the Soviets walked back their statement and cast doubt as to whether the body they had recovered was actually Adolf Hitler. Had the man who seemed to embody the driving will of the Nazi regime actually escaped from capture? Body doubles, missing U-boats, Idyllic South American villas in the hills of Argentina, could all of these things ha

In Plato’s histories the Greek historian described a city that shined as a beacon of power and technology. A city, so wealthy, it was able to cover it’s walls in brass and gold. It possessed vast military might and a powerful navy which helped it to conquer most of what was the known world at the time. He was speaking, of course, of Atlantis. This mighty nation was said to have been destroyed by the gods nearly overnight by devastating earthquakes and other natural disasters. While it is still hotly debated whether Atlantis was an actual city or perhaps an allegory used by Plato, this has not stopped historians and archaeologists from trying to tease it’s actual location from Plato’s writings. Recently a theory has been put forth that perhaps Atlantis was not swallowed by the sea but now sits in plain sight within the Sahara desert. Unusual geologic formations and tantalizing archaeological tidbits lend weight to this wild theory. On this case file Join the Theorists as they get into one of the most epic of s

The Oracle of Apollo at Delphi, Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce. Soothsayers and fortune tellers of world renown. All made uncanny predictions that have seemed to come true with startling accuracy. In modern times it is difficult for most people to name a source that has given us accurate predictions of the future as those we have gotten in the past. But, is it possible that we could Place Homer Simpson in the ranks of great prognosticators? Currently the longest running scripted show ever to air, The Simpsons have a permanent seat in global pop culture. During its time on the air the show has given the world countless jokes and a number of wild and entertaining plot lines. Recently though, some viewers have begun to remark on the curiously high number of accurate predictions the show has included in their writing. The Apple Watch, Trump for President, The Higgs Boson particle, and many more events of recent times all seem to have been shown to have been included in jokes or plots of the long running comedy show lon

Off the coast of Nova Scotia sits a small unassuming island named for the tall oak trees that can bee seen even far out at sea. This island is rumored to have been a haven for ne’er do wells during the Golden Age of piracy in the the 1600 and 1700s. The area was sparsely populated in those days and offered an abundance of natural resources for those who may have found respite there from pursuing Naval vessels. On this island In 1795 a group of young men discovered an unusual depression in the ground which seemed too regular to be natural. Inspired by the long standing rumours of buried treasure the young men began digging into what is arguably one of the greatest mysteries of modern times. Many groups have continued the excavation that those young men started in 1795 and each time coming across tantalizing pieces of evidence of what lays at the bottom of what has now come to be called “The Money Pit”. Wooden platforms, coconut fibers, pieces of parchment, and a stone with mysterious symbols are only some of t

Cindy James   Cindy James lived in an ordinary suburb of Richmond in Vancouver, British Columbia. A nurse by trade, Cindy lived an unremarkable life while married to her psychologist husband Roy Makepeace. Roy and Cindy separated in 1982 and shortly after began a series of events that would lead to one of Canada’s most mysterious unsolved cases. The following years Cindy alleged she was the target of psychological and at times physical torture by a mysterious assailant. Threatening phone calls, assaults inside her home, and even a case of what was possibly arson eventually cost the Royal Canadian Mounted Police 1 million dollars in resources to investigate. Cindy’s ordeal would eventually lead to the gruesome discovery of her body discovered in a ditch with arms bound behind her, barefoot, miles from her own home. Her death was ruled a suicide.

Gobekli Tepe It’s not every day you get to rewrite the story of human history. When German Archaeologist Klaus Schmidt took a closer look at what had seemed to be nothing more than a Medieval burial ground in 1994 he quickly realized it was something quite a bit more significant. For almost a decade Schmidt would work to bring to light the mysteries of this staggeringly important archaeological site.  Efforts by German and international teams have uncovered enormous upright T-shaped stones and intricate carvings which have been dated to a time before human agriculture or even human written language. To this day only an estimated 5% of the complex has been excavated and much more of it lays underground where it seems that the builders may have intentionally buried it for unknown reasons. What was the significance of these stones that would have taken 500 people to move? Was it a place of worship? A primitive observatory? Or perhaps, the site of the world’s first death cult? This case file the Theorists take a

America’s Cold War with Russia drove human innovation forward for almost half a century. From the rocket technology that sent men to the moon to unlocking the secrets of the atom that promised untold destruction as well as unlimited power. If you were a scientist at the time including “application for military use” on your research grant proposal was almost a guaranteed carte blanche from the U.S. Government. With so many projects in development at once, it was inevitable that there was a lack of oversight on some of the less than ethical experiments. Specifically one that was approved in 1953 to explore the effect of various mind altering substances and techniques on living human subjects with aims of psychological manipulation and behavior modification. The experiments were carried out not just on military black sites but also with the help of numerous top tier US universities. For 20 years horrific experiments were performed on not only a number of unsuspecting US citizens but citizens of other countries a

The Russian Federation has the largest land area of any country in the modern world. That’s over 6.5 million square miles of widely varying terrain and sparsely populated areas. What lies beneath the former Iron Curtain? For a country that is widely known for its secrecy and subterfuge it would be folly to assume that the former Soviet Union has never witnessed or recorded contact with UFOs. In the far eastern town of Dalnegorsk, just northeast of Vladvostok, an event took place in 1986 that created quite a stir in the Russian and even International UFO community. On January 29, the residents of Dalnegorsk witnessed a mysterious red Orb shaped UFO approach a mountain in the nearby range and seemingly make a landing impact that could be felt near the site. Russian professors from Universities were on the scene within two days and were astounded by the evidence that was found that seemed to point to a mysterious object landing in the forest surrounding the mountain named after its height.

England has no shortage of paranormal happenings. Countless locations in the English countryside are steeped in bloody histories and surrounded by local myth and superstition. Where you might expect many of the most haunted places to be ancient castles or foggy moors it is actually an unassuming house in East Yorkshire that claims the title of “The most violent haunting in Britain”. Number 30 East Drive on the Chequerfields estate has a paranormal history that spans 5 decades. From 1966 when the Pritchard family moved into the house, to 2016 when paranormal investigators claimed to photograph the incorporeal entity known as the “Black Monk”. This apparition is allegedly the cause of the many strange happenings that happened within the walls of Number 30 East Drive. A force which is described as malevolent and capable of seemingly shaking the very foundation of the home.
