At a Washington, D.C., news conference, scientists showed magnified pictures of a four-pound Martian meteorite riddled with wormy blobs that looked like bacterial colonies. The researchers explained how they had pried numerous clues from the rock, all strongly supporting their contention that microscopic creatures once occupied its nooks and crannies…

REAL proof Aliens DO exist!
There I was, minding my OWN business, resting early this morning (Sunday, July 29, 2006), my daughter was making me some ice coffee and I was thinking of waking up, and trying to figure out the setting on my trusty Sony camera. When I heard this noise from behind the books on the shelf…

The Mona Lisa: biggest coverup in human history
I swear to God, if I have to hear one more brain dead loser speaking about art as if they have any idea what they're talking about. Seriously, Dan Brown has a lot to answer for. All of a sudden everyone's an expert. Let me set the record straight. The Mona Lisa is indeed part of one of the biggest cover ups in history. But, hear me out before you bite my head off. That cover up consists simply of this: there is absolutely no mystery surronding the Mona Lisa…

The real center of "Ghost Hunters" is not, as its subtitle suggests, William James, the American pioneer in psychology and researcher in the paranormal, but Leonora Piper, a Boston housewife, mother and paranormal phenomenon.

To the moon and back, with love
Government consultant Ingo Swann's tale of covert extraterrestrial activity on the moon takes on a new twist, now that the CIA STAR GATE documents support many of his claims. This is the bizarre true tale of Ingo Swann's psychic work for the U.S Government, at various agencies including the CIA and the DIA (now substantiated by the CIA release of roughly two thirds of the existing STAR GATE documents) and his personal allegations of a mysterious black operation that first contacted him during the peak of CIA sponsored testing at the Stanford Research Institute…
