Daily 2 Cents: Vlad the Impaler’s Dungeon Discovered — ‘The Black Eyed Child’ Returns – Andy Kaufman Did Not Die In 1984
Daily 2 Cents: Vlad the Impaler’s Dungeon Discovered — ‘The Black Eyed Child’ Returns – Andy Kaufman Did Not Die In 1984
The dungeon in which Vlad the Impaler was imprisoned by the Turks has been found at Tokat Castle.
Back at the beginning of the 15th century Wallachian Prince Vlad III, the real-life inspiration behind Bram Stoker’s character Dracula, was held captive by the Ottoman Turks for twelve years.
Now archaeologists believe that they have discovered the very prison in which he had been held captive deep beneath Tokat Castle in northern Turkey. The dungeons were found following the discovery of a secret tunnel that was unearthed while restoration works were being carried out on the building.
“The castle is completely surrounded by secret tunnels. It is very mysterious,” said archaeologist Ibrahim Çetin. “It is hard to estimate in which room Dracula was kept, but he was around here.”
Despite his extended incarceration it is believed that Vlad went on to reclaim the Wallachian throne before eventually dying during a battle with the Ottomons in 1476. Read more at Yahoo
Andy Kaufman didn’t die in 1984…but died a few years later
A friend of Andy Kaufman claims the iconic comedian is still alive. Kaufman’s writing partner, Bob Zmuda says 35-year-old Kaufman faked his own death in 1984 and will be returning sometime in the near future. In his new book Andy Kaufman: The Truth, Finally Zmuda and Kaufman’s former girlfriend, Lynne Margulies, detail the comedian’s long-time obsession with the idea of faking his own death.
In the book, Zmuda recounts one night in particular when he received a call at four in the morning from Kaufman, asking him to meet at a Los Angeles diner. It was there Kaufman admitted he thought faking his death would be the ultimate joke, however, it was a joke Zmuda wanted no part of.
Zmuda believes that Kaufman found a body-double who was actually dying of cancer, shaved his own head and lost weight, then switched places with the man after he died.
The only reason he’s breaking his “longtime code of secrecy” is because Kaufman hasn’t held his end of the deal. In the book’s final pages he writes, “The only reason I’m giving it up now is that Andy set a time limit on this one. Thirty years. So I’ve kept my part of the bargain and kept my mouth shut. But no more. The prank’s over. I want him back and he’s coming back.”
Only the book’s co-author doesn’t think he’ll be coming back. Margulies writes that a friend told her Kaufman moved to San Francisco after faking his death, only to die of AIDS a few years later.
Regardless, Kaufman’s prank (whether it happened or not) continues to fool with fans. Andy Kaufman: The Truth, Finally goes on sale October 7th.
Girl dies of burn injuries under mysterious circumstances
Kanpur: An 18-year-old girl died after suffering burn injuries under mysterious circumstances in Auraiya district on Saturday. Police have started a probe. According to police the victim, a resident of Mada Ka Purwa under Achalda police station, had gone to answer nature’s call at a nearby field in the village on Saturday morning. The locals of the area were working in their farms when they heard her loud shrieks. They rushed to the spot and found herin flames. They tried to douse the fire by wrapping a quilt around her. She was immediately taken to a health centre and then to the district hospital. Later, the doctors referred her to Regional Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (RIMS), Saifai but she died on way to the institute. Doctors said that she had sustained major burn injuries.
Station officer Achalda said that the police are probing all angles. The victim’s body was later shifted to mortuary for post-mortem examination. – Times of India
A leading paranormal investigator has scoured a Staffordshire beauty spot following chilling sightings of a spectre known locally as The Black Eyed Child.
Lee Brickley launched an in-depth investigation of Cannock Chase after reports that the ghoulish apparition has returned to the sprawling heathland.
The child was last spotted 30 years ago, sparking worldwide interest – and is today a cult internet sensation.
Latest descriptions of the girl, who has coal-black pits for eye sockets, are identical to those chronicled in the early 1980s.
Lee, author of books about the paranormal, was stunned recently when he received a new eye-witness account of the Black Eyed Child.
Alerted by what sounded like screams, a shocked woman came across the wandering, sightless spectre while walking Birches Valley.
“We instantly started running towards the noise,” she said. “We couldn’t find the child anywhere and so stopped to catch our breath.
“That’s when I turned round and saw a girl stood behind me, no more than 10 years old, with her hands over her eyes.
“It was as if she was waiting for a birthday cake.
“I asked if she was OK and if she had been the one screaming. She put her arms down by her side and opened her eyes.
“That’s when I saw they were completely black, no iris, no white, nothing.
“I jumped back and grabbed my daughter. When I looked again, the child was gone. It was so strange.”
On his paranormal website, Lee, 28 and himself from Cannock, said the woman’s experience mirrors the earlier sighting.
“In the summer of 1982, my aunt was 18 years old, and she and her friends would often meet on Cannock Chase in the evening time, probably in much the same way many teenagers still do today.
“One evening, just before dark, she heard a little girl frantically shouting for help. Rushing to locate the sound, she stumbled upon a dirt track and caught sight of the girl, about six years old running in the opposite direction.
“When my aunt caught up, the girl turned around and looked her in the eyes, and then ran off into the dark woodland. Her eyes had been completely black with no trace of white.
“There was a police search but to no avail. At the time, no-one had any reason to believe anything paranormal was going on. The girl certainly appeared to be of flesh and blood.”
There have been similar sightings of Black Eyed Children around the world.
“Some people believe them to be extra-terrestrials, vampires or ghosts,” said Lee. “But there is one big difference between the sightings around the world and the stories coming out of Cannock Chase.
“Only on Cannock Chase do the sightings consistently happen during the daytime.
“In the US many reports suggest that black-eyed children often appear in groups, regularly knocking at the door of unknowing victims and asking quietly if they may come inside.” – Birmingham Mail
Family members at Williamson, New York, were shocked when they saw a UFO in nearby trees on September 27, 2014. Pictured: Williamson, New York. (Credit: Google)
New York family members at Williamson said they were “dumbfounded” when a bright light UFO appeared just 100yards away in nearby trees, moved out into a clearing and then shot off into the night sky about 11:01 p.m. on September 27, 2014, according to testimony in Case 60183 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness and family members were outside at a campfire when the object was first noticed.
“My brother-in-law first noticed an extremely bright white light through the trees 100 yards away east of us,” the reporting witness stated. “The light was blinding and we could not make out the shape.”
The object moved into a clearing before shooting up into the sky and disappearing. Pictured: Williamson, New York. (Credit: Google)
They first thought the object might be a helicopter.
“But there was no sound and the object moved in ways I have never seen.”
The witness described the object’s movement.
“The object started from behind the trees and then moved out into a clearing before accelerating at great speed up in the air and out of view. It started northeast in the tree line and slowly moved south as it came out of the trees and then shot up and away in the east.”
Family members said the object was not a helicopter and made no sound. Pictured: Williamson, New York. (Credit: Google)
The group eventually lost sight of the object.
“We were dumbfounded and could not believe what we saw. We lost sight of the object after it climbed to so much altitude and it was no longer visible.”
Williamson is an Upstate New York town on the south shore of Lake Ontario in the northwest part of Wayne County, New York, population 6,777. New York MUFON is investigating.

The Arizona couple stepped outside and noticed a rectangular-shaped object in a nearby field that was previously empty and fenced in. Pictured: Sierra Vista, Arizona. (Credit: Google)
Arizona witnesses at Sierra Vista recalled events from 2012 when a rectangular object sitting in what had been an empty field disappeared by morning, according to September 29, 2014, testimony in Case 60151 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The reporting witness and her husband had stepped outside about 9:45 p.m. on a clear December night in 2012 before heading to bed when they noticed the object in a nearby field.
They thought it was odd they had not heard the sounds of something being moved onto the property and that the object appeared to have electricity. Pictured: Sierra Vista, Arizona. (Credit: Google)
“We were only out there about a minute before we noticed what appeared to us to be a single-wide mobile home or rectangular-shaped house in the field across the street,” the witness stated. “This field is totally fenced in and there has been nothing there for several years so we were surprised to see a house. We hadn’t heard anything during the day nor seen any movement /trucks bringing in a house.”
The witness described the object.
“There appeared to be a door with a window on each side. Lights were on but the house/object appeared to be empty. We sat there discussing how odd it was that we never saw it being moved in or how quickly electricity seemed to be hooked up but shook it off and went to bed.”
They were surprised the next morning.
“The next morning we got our coffee and went outside to have a smoke and the object was not in the field – there was nothing there. It was an empty, fenced-in field as it always was. We don’t know for sure what it was, but it was very, very odd. To this day every time we drive by we always look at the fencing to see how someone could have pulled in a trailer and there is no way.”
In the morning, they noticed that the object was gone and could not understand how something had gotten into the fenced-in field and out again by morning. Pictured: Sierra Vista, Arizona. (Credit: Google)

A Missouri State Trooper reported a triangle-shaped object at the tree line in Joplin, Missouri, on August 2, 2014. Pictured: Joplin, Missouri. (Credit: Google)
A new witness came forward today adding a third 2014 date to close encounters with a UFO near ground level in Joplin, MO, according to testimony in Case 60172 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
ADVERTISEMENT
The witness, who reported a “very large UFO with windows hovering close to trees,” asked to remain anonymous and filed the case directly with Missouri MUFON Assistant State Director Margie Kay.
Previously three professional Joplin witnesses came forward reporting a July 8, 2014, case where the object was near ground level and larger than a house. Case 57853 was covered here in two stories: Missouri couple says UFO was ‘bigger than a house,’ and Close encounter with acre-size UFO leaves three Missouri witnesses baffled.
Additionally, another anonymous witness who also reported their sighting directly to Kay described a close encounter that took place on August 16, 2014, in Case 59509.
In today’s report, the witness recounts the events from September 2, 2014.
“I work in law enforcement as a State Trooper so don’t want my real name used, but felt it was important to let someone know what I saw,” the witness stated. “I want you to know that I’ve never seen anything like this before and hope I never do again.”
As the trooper approached the hovering object, he heard static on his car radio. Pictured: Joplin, Missouri. (Credit: Google)
The trooper was driving north along Range Line Road (49 Highway) at 5:12 a.m. on September 2, 2014, when the object was first seen.
“A light caught my eye to the northeast of my position low at the tree line. As I drove closer I slowed the vehicle because at first I thought that it must be a helicopter since whatever it was, was so low, that it couldn’t be a plane. I then noticed that there was structure to the object and that it began to move slowly west towards the highway and closer to my vehicle. There were no other cars on the highway at that time.”
The trooper moved closer to the object.
“As it got closer and as I drove closer I noticed that the top portion of this teardrop or triangular-shaped craft was elevated and that there were windows along the top portion. The windows were rectangular and placed vertically, and there were three that I could see from my position. There was a yellow/white glow coming from inside the windows. I did not see any people inside but did see movement – I assume it was the occupants moving around.”
The trooper described the object.
“The craft appeared to be at least 100-feet-plus wide and 25-feet or so high. It was a dark, dull gray/black metallic craft with lights on the bottom only. I saw no navigation lights. The bottom lights were an amber and a red/orange color of varying sizes, but the odd thing was that there was no beam coming from any of the lights – they simply glowed. The size of the lights was from streetlight size to perhaps 24-inches in diameter. There was a low hum coming from the object which I only noticed on close approach at about 50-feet.”
The witness slowed down when the object moved close to the highway.
“It then spun around like a top and reversed direction. As it did so, I heard a loud static noise come from my radio for approximately 15 seconds. I did not call this in to report it because I wasn’t sure what I was looking at and did not want to put my job in jeopardy in case it was a real UFO.”
The object moved away slowly to the east until the trooper could no longer see it.
“I realized that my vehicle was stopped on the highway although I remember thinking that I did not intend to stop. I looked at the clock and realized that I had been watching the object for 15 minutes. At that point, I saw a jet moving very fast from east to west. It banked to the north and went back east. It looked like a fighter jet that may have been looking for the object I saw. I could hear it clearly. I did not believe in UFOs before this incident but I know what I saw and it was not something of ours – at least that is known to the public.”
The object eventually moved slowly away toward the east and disappeared. Pictured: Joplin, Missouri. (Credit: Google)
On September 2, 2014, a witness reported Case 59509 that occurred at 10:15 p.m. on August 16, 2014. Like the trooper, this witness was also driving north along Range Line Road (49 Highway) in Joplin when the object was first seen.
“I noticed some lights hovering over the trees to my right as I approached Redding Road. As I got closer I could see the dark outline of a craft that looked oval in shape from the bottom. It had lights all over the bottom which were large orange lights and small blue lights which pulsated, getting brighter and dimmer. There was no sound.”
The witnesses’ vehicle began to experience difficulties.
“As I approached, the radio speakers made a strange static noise even though my radio was not on. My headlights went off and on again. I pulled to the side of the highway because I was afraid my engine would fail and also to get a better look at the object and take a picture, but I could not get my cell phone to come on. I probably watched it for 10 minutes total time.”
The witness described the object.
“The object was hovering just over the trees probably 100-feet from the ground and 100-feet or less from me. The object then moved slightly and then took off very fast directly east from where it was hovering. I know it was not a plane or helicopter because there were no navigation lights and no sound. It was close enough to be heard. This has me very concerned and I’d like to know what it was – military or otherwise.”
Joplin is a city in southern Jasper County and northern Newton County in the southwestern corner of Missouri, population 50,150.
Cases 57853 and 59509 have both been closed as an Unknown. Today’s Case 60172 is under investigation by Missouri MUFON. Missouri has a current UFO Alert Rating of 3 with a higher than average number of recent reports nationally. Missouri had 20 UFO reports in August 2014 – the 10th highest reporting state – while California had 99 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity.

Het Engelse Cannock Chase werd in de jaren tachtig opgeschrikt door een meisje met pikzwarte ogen. De afgelopen 30 jaar bleef het stil rond het meisje, tot dit jaar. Op 13 september jongstleden wandelde een echtpaar in een bos in Cannock Chase. In het bos hoorden de twee het gegiechel van een klein meisje.
Uit het niets verscheen een klein kind. Het stel stopte gelijk met wandelen, nadat bleek dat de ogen van het meisje geen kleur hadden. Volgens de man was ook de lichaamshouding niet menselijk. Het hoofd was gekanteld naar één kant, waardoor het leek alsof ze was opgehangen. Ze staarde het echtpaar ongeveer vijf minuten aan, waarna ze tussen de bomen verdween.
Enkele maanden geleden werd in dezelfde plaats ook al een meisje met pikzwarte ogen gezien. Toen een vrouw met haar dochter in het bos liep hoorde ze gegil. Het meisje, dat niet ouder leek dan 10 jaar, dook uit het niets op. Ze bedekte haar ogen met haar handen. Toen ze haar handen omlaag deed, bleek dat haar ogen helemaal zwart waren. De vrouw deinsde achteruit. Het meisje verdween net zo snel als ze was gekomen.
Hoewel het er sterk op lijkt dat dit verhaal een hoax van de website 4-chan is, zijn er wereldwijd meerdere meldingen gedaan van een kind met zwarte ogen. Sommige mensen denken dat het buitenaardsen, vampieren of geesten zijn.
Five innovative Air Force aircraft that you’ve probably never heard of -
By Staff Sgt. Antonio Gonzalez Air Force Public Affairs Agency
The history of the Air Force is rooted in finding new ways to solve problems. It’s one of creating out-of-the-box solutions and achieving greater possibilities. Drone technology, stealth aircraft and space vehicles were merely science fiction until we made them reality. The aircraft you are about to discover brought upon revolutionary new abilities for today’s Air Force and will continue to have an impact on technology in the future.
CHANCE-VOUGHT/LTV XC-142A
The tilt-wing XC-142A was an experimental aircraft designed to test the operational benefits of vertical/short takeoff and landing transports. Such an aircraft would permit rapid movement of troops and supplies into unprepared areas under all-weather conditions. An XC-142A first flew conventionally on Sept. 29, 1964, and on Jan. 11, 1965, it completed its first transitional flight by taking off vertically, changing to forward flight and finally landing vertically.
Tilting the wing and engines skyward permitted vertical takeoff like a helicopter and then the wing and engines were gradually tilted forward to provide the greater speed of a fixed-wing aircraft in forward flight. The engines were linked together so that a single engine could turn all four propellers and the tail rotor. In tests, the XC-142A was flown from airspeeds of 35 mph backwards to 400 mph forward. XC-142As were tested extensively by the Army, Navy, Air Force and NASA.
LOCKHEED D-21B
The Lockheed D-21 is an unmanned or “drone” aircraft designed to carry out high-speed, high-altitude strategic reconnaissance missions over hostile territory. It is a product of the Lockheed “Skunk Works” program that developed the A-12, YF-12A and SR-71 “Blackbird” manned aircraft in the 1960s.
Originally, the D-21 was designed to be launched from the back of a modified A-12 (redesignated M-12) carrier aircraft. The first flight of the D-21/M-12 combination took place on Dec. 22, 1964, but the first D-21 release from an M-12 did not occur until March 5, 1966. Two more launches were successful, but on July 30, 1966, a D-21 collided with the M-12 after release, destroying both aircraft and resulting in the death of one of the M-12′s crew members. No further “piggyback” launches were attempted.
A new launch system was developed using modified B-52H aircraft as carriers. The new D-21 configuration (designated D-21B) had dorsal mounting hooks for carriage under the B-52′s wing and a solid rocket booster for the initial acceleration required to start the ramjet engine. The first launch from a B-52 took place on Nov. 6, 1967, but the D-21 crashed. Several flights followed in 1968 with mixed success.
The first operational launch was on Nov. 9, 1969, but the D-21B was lost. Several successful operational missions were flown over the next two years, but the D-21 program was highly classified and details have not been released. The program was canceled in 1971, and the D-21s were placed in storage.
NORTHROP TACIT BLUE
The Tacit Blue (Whale) aircraft was built to test the advances in stealth technology. The USAF, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the Northrop Corp. worked together from 1978 to 1985 to demonstrate that curved surfaces on an aircraft result in a low radar return signal from ground radar. With such a low radar return signal, Tacit Blue demonstrated that such an aircraft could operate close to the battlefield forward line without fear of being discovered by enemy radar. It could continuously monitor enemy forces behind the battlefield and provide targeting information to a ground command center.
The aircraft made its first flight in February 1982, and by the conclusion of the program in 1985, had flown 135 times. It had a digital fly-by-wire flight control system to help stabilize the aircraft. Tacit Blue had a single flush inlet on the top of the fuselage to provide air to its two engines.
BOEING X-40A
The unmanned Boeing X-40A was the first-phase flight test vehicle for the U.S. Air Force’s Space Maneuver Vehicle (SMV) program that began in the late 1990s. The SMV program aimed at developing a new generation of small, reusable, highly maneuverable space vehicles for deploying satellites, surveillance, and logistics missions.
Designed and built by the Boeing Company in partnership with the Air Force Research Laboratory, the X-40A was produced at Boeing’s Phantom Works facility at Seal Beach, California. This test aircraft was a 90 percent scale version of what would later be designated the X-37 space plane.
On Aug. 11, 1998, the X-40A made its first successful flight at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. Lifted to an altitude of about 10,000 feet by a helicopter, the X-40A was released, and it made an unpowered flight to demonstrate high-speed guidance, navigation, and control capabilities.
Following that single flight, the USAF loaned the X-40 to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to test the shape, guidance, and other systems of the X-37. After captive-carry flights to practice release procedures and test equipment, the X-40A made its first flight for NASA on March 28, 2001. Carried aloft by a U.S. Army helicopter to 15,000 feet before being released, the X-40A flew itself, guided by onboard systems, to a gentle landing at Edwards AFB, California. The X-40A made a total of seven successful flights in support of the X-37 program.
SCALED COMPOSITES LONG-EZ “BOREALIS”
On Jan. 31, 2008, the modified Scaled Composites Long-EZ completed the first manned flight of an aircraft powered by a pulsed detonation engine (PDE). The flight was the result of five years of innovation and cooperative effort between the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and Innovative Scientific Solutions Inc. (ISSI). The project used the popular Long-EZ designed by Burt Rutan as a platform.
Engines normally burn fuel and air at subsonic speeds to provide propulsion. PDEs detonate the fuel-air mixture into repeated, controlled explosions. The resulting supersonic shockwaves create thrust. In this engine, the thrust is expelled through four tubes out the back of the aircraft. Remarkably, the PDE in this aircraft was made partially from off-the-shelf automotive parts.
Pulsed detonation engines are still in their infancy, but this technology may become common as it matures. PDEs are much less complicated and promise to be less expensive to operate than jet engines. Moreover, they offer a fuel savings of between 5-20 percent over traditional turbojet engines.
It’s easy to see how these experimental aircraft helped develop technologies present in our current inventory. What future technology do you think will be in our next test aircraft?

Aliens May Destroy Humanity to Protect other Civilisations, Say Scientists
Aliens May Destroy Humanity to Protect other Civilisations, Say Scientists
Rising greenhouse emissions could tip off aliens that we are a rapidly expanding threat, warns a report. It may not rank as the most compelling reason to curb greenhouse gases, but reducing our emissions might just save humanity from a pre-emptive alien attack, scientists claim.
Watching from afar, extraterrestrial beings might view changes in Earth’s atmosphere as symptomatic of a civilisation growing out of control – and take drastic action to keep us from becoming a more serious threat, the researchers explain. This highly speculative scenario is one of several described by a Nasa-affiliated scientist and colleagues at Pennsylvania State University that, while considered unlikely, they say could play out were humans and alien life to make contact at some point in the future. Shawn Domagal-Goldman of Nasa’s Planetary Science Division and his colleagues compiled a list of plausible outcomes that could unfold in the aftermath of a close encounter, to help humanity “prepare for actual contact”. In their report, Would Contact with Extraterrestrials Benefit or Harm Humanity? A Scenario Analysis, the researchers divide alien contacts into three broad categories: beneficial, neutral or harmful. Beneficial encounters ranged from the mere detection of extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI), for example through the interception of alien broadcasts, to contact with cooperative organisms that help us advance our knowledge and solve global problems such as hunger, poverty and disease. Another beneficial outcome the authors entertain sees humanity triumph over a more powerful alien aggressor, or even being saved by a second group of ETs. “In these scenarios, humanity benefits not only from the major moral victory of having defeated a daunting rival, but also from the opportunity to reverse-engineer ETI technology,” the authors write. Other kinds of close encounter may be less rewarding and leave much of human society feeling indifferent towards alien life. The extraterrestrials may be too different from us to communicate with usefully. They might invite humanity to join the “Galactic Club” only for the entry requirements to be too bureaucratic and tedious for humans to bother with. They could even become a nuisance, like the stranded, prawn-like creatures that are kept in a refugee camp in the 2009 South African movie, District 9, the report explains.
The most unappealing outcomes would arise if extraterrestrials caused harm to humanity, even if by accident. While aliens may arrive to eat, enslave or attack us, the report adds that people might also suffer from being physically crushed or by contracting diseases carried by the visitors. In especially unfortunate incidents, humanity could be wiped out when a more advanced civilisation accidentally unleashes an unfriendly artificial intelligence, or performs a catastrophic physics experiment that renders a portion of the galaxy uninhabitable.
To bolster humanity’s chances of survival, the researchers call for caution in sending signals into space, and in particular warn against broadcasting information about our biological make-up, which could be used to manufacture weapons that target humans. Instead, any contact with ETs should be limited to mathematical discourse “until we have a better idea of the type of ETI we are dealing with.” The authors warn that extraterrestrials may be wary of civilisations that expand very rapidly, as these may be prone to destroy other life as they grow, just as humans have pushed species to extinction on Earth. In the most extreme scenario, aliens might choose to destroy humanity to protect other civilisations. “A preemptive strike would be particularly likely in the early phases of our expansion because a civilisation may become increasingly difficult to destroy as it continues to expand. Humanity may just now be entering the period in which its rapid civilisational expansion could be detected by an ETI because our expansion is changing the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere, via greenhouse gas emissions,” the report states. “Green” aliens might object to the environmental damage humans have caused on Earth and wipe us out to save the planet. “These scenarios give us reason to limit our growth and reduce our impact on global ecosystems. It would be particularly important for us to limit our emissions of greenhouse gases, since atmospheric composition can be observed from other planets,” the authors write. Even if we never make contact with extraterrestrials, the report argues that considering the potential scenarios may help to plot the future path of human civilisation, avoid collapse and achieve long-term survival.
An astronomer, Chris has been studying reports of UFOs [or PFTs - "pesky flying things", as he sometimes likes to call them] since the mid-1970s. A writer and editor for science and technology publications, he also writes about his investigations and research into UFO cases.
He publishes, along with Geoff Dittman, 'The Canadian UFO Survey', an annual compilation of UFO Reports from across Canada.
Chris has had five books published: 'Visitations?' (1989) and 'Unnatural History' (1993), the latter of which is in its third printing. 'Mysterious Manitoba' (1997), co-authored with Dave Creighton and Brian Fidler, 1997, 'Abductions & Aliens - What's Really Going On' published by Dundurn, 1999 and The Canadian UFO Report with Geoff Dittman.

Researchers have revealed over 50 previously undiscovered geoglyphs in northern Kazakhstan, determined to have been created by ancients.
Using many different investigative technologies over the past year, including archaeological excavations, ground-penetrating radar surveys, aerial photography and dating, archeologists from Kazakhstan’s Kostanay University, working in collaboration with Vilnius University in Lithuania, have presented their initial findings at the European Association of Archaeologists’ annual meeting in Istanbul, according to Live Science.
Discovered using Google Earth, the geoglyphs are designed in a variety of geometric shapes, including squares, rings, crosses and swastikas (the swastika is a design that was used in ancient times). Ranging from 90 to 400 meters (295 to 1,312 feet) in diameter, some of them are longer than a modern-day aircraft carrier. Researchers say that the geoglyphs are difficult to see on the ground, but can easily be seen from the sky.
Archaeologists Irina Shevnina and Andrew Logvin, of Kostanay University, in an email to Live Science, state “As of today, we can say only one thing — the geoglyphs were built by ancient people. By whom and for what purpose, remains a mystery.”
The videos below show these amazing, mysterious geoglyphs.
Controversial 300-Million-Year-Old Screw Of Unknown Origin Baffles Scientists -
Controversial 300-Million-Year-Old Screw Of Unknown Origin Baffles Scientists -
MessageToEagle.com - On our planet there are remarkable out-of-place artifacts that according to orthodox science shouldn't exist, but they do. This 300-million-year-old screw embedded in a rock is an example of yet another controversial artifact that challenges modern science.
On October 7, 1996, a group of researchers were participating in an expedition MAI-Kosmopoisk trying to find the fragments of a celestial body that fell in the Kaluga region, in western Russia.
What they did not expect to discover was an out-of-place artifact that until this day defies explanation.
When Dmitry Kurkov who discovered the stone removed the dirt from it, he saw a bolt embedded in the rock.
The screw, which is clearly visible in the head and nut, has a length of about cm and a diameter of about three millimeters.
Scientists initially thought that the screw was in a farm machine, but further examination revealed that the screw was firmly fixed in the rock.
X-ray studies also ruled out the possibility that it is a fossil crinoidea trunk, because its size is larger than the specimens of marine animals.
Geologists estimate that the age of the rock is 300-320 million years.
Who left this baffling object on the Earth? Did this alien artifact belong to an unknown ancient civilization far more advanced than us?
About 300 million years ago the first land animals had yet to evolve into dinosaurs. There were no humans on our planet at that time. So how did it end up in a 300-million.year-old rock? Was the screw left by ancient aliens visiting Earth?
This finding has been studied intensively in various scientific institutions of Russia - from geologists, physicists, paleontologists, mineralogists and proved that the screw was in the sediment before it is mounted on a rock. All technicians who examined this artifact are convinced that the screw has been artificially constructed and not a product of a natural process.
It is not the first time millions of year old artifacts have been discovered. We have previously seen there are several other artifacts that strongly challenge the evolutionary scenario.
In in 1889, workers in southwest Idaho discovered the Nampa figurine, an artifact skillfully formed in clay that has baffled scientists for many years.
In 1885, an iron smelter working in the foundry of the Austrian Isador Braun of Vocklabruck, Austria, discovered a small, cube-shaped piece of iron embedded in a block of coal dating to the Tertiary period lasting from approximately 65.5 million to 2.6 million years ago.
In 1851, an object that resembled a silver-zinc vase inlaid with fine silver in the form of the vine was discovered embedded within 15 feet of solid sedimentary rock. The age of this vase, according to the rock in which it found supposedly millions of years old.
A very strange 300-million-year-old aluminum gear was discovered in Vladivostok, Russia. In fact, there are so many such baffling discoveries and there is no doubt they have all undermined the most fundamental doctrines of modern science.
The screw found in the Kaluga region, is yet another puzzling artifact of unknown origin that cannot be explained by modern science.
Obviously, someone was walking the Earth millions of years ago, but these beings were not humans.

10,000 Year Old Rock Paintings Depicting Aliens and UFOs Found in India
10,000 Year Old Rock Paintings Depicting Aliens and UFOs Found in India
Chhattisgarh state department of archaeology and culture plans to seek help from Nasa and Isro for research on 10,000-year-old rock paintings depicting aliens and UFOs in Charama region in Kanker district in tribal Bastar region.
According to archaeologist JR Bhagat, these paintings have depicted aliens like those shown in Hollywood and Bollywood flicks. Located about 130km from Raipur, the caves come under village Chandeli and Gotitola.
“The findings suggest that humans in prehistoric times may have seen or imagined beings from other planets which still create curiosity among people and researchers. Extensive research is needed for further findings. Chhattisgarh presently doesn’t have any such expert who could give clarity on the subject,” Bhagat told TOI.
There are several beliefs among locals in these villages. While few worship the paintings, others narrate stories they have heard from ancestors about “rohela people” — the small sized ones — who used to land from sky in a round shaped flying object and take away one or two persons of village who never returned.
“The paintings are done in natural colours that have hardly faded despite the years. The strangely carved figures are seen holding weapon-like objects and do not have clear features. Specially, the nose and mouth are missing. In few pictures, they are even shown wearing space suits. We can’t refute possibility of imagination by prehistoric men but humans usually fancy such things,” the archaeologist said.
He added that it is a co-incidence that such ancient images appear to have sharp resemblance to UFOs shown in alien movies. “The fan-like antenna and three legs of vehicle’s stand clearly show a similarity to UFO type craft,” he said.
Other archaeologists would also be consulted for further verification.
