Navy dolphins may be deployed: Did secret ESP research involve them?
This week, the U.S. Navy announced that up to 30 dolphins and other marine mammals may be used to patrol Puget Sound near Seattle to protect Kitsap-Bangor Naval Base from terrorist activities. Dolphins and marine mammals can locate underwater swimmers and objects and assist with a variety of additional tasks. But what other interesting intelligence developments are emerging about dolphins that involve sensitive and fascinating insight into human consciousness? Tucked within a declassified bibliography of "Project STARGATE" reports on extrasensory perception (ESP), "anomalous cognition" and "remote viewing" is a research paper titled "A Remote Action Investigation with Marine Animals."..

UFOs and space travel
One of the most interesting aspects of the UFO phenomenon focuses on the origin of extraterrestrial craft. Whether you are new to the UFO phenomena, or have studied the subject for years, you cannot help wondering: "If UFOs are real outer space craft, then where do they come from and how do they get here?"

Ghosts of Brooksville's past stir up haunts of present
The group that gathered one recent Saturday night at the May-Stringer Heritage Museum included a reiki master from Largo, a hypnotist from Land O'Lakes, a local woman with the Florida Ghost Team and a man from Spring Hill who is half of a two-man outfit called the Enigmatic Anomaly Research Society.

New Dover Demon sighting?
There is a Xaverian Brothers High School at 800 Clapboardtree, Westwood, Massachusetts 02090. Dover, Massachusetts, is bordered on the east by Westwood. There is no news source for this report or any details on the internet about this alleged, briefly mentioned encounter. The blogger (Gordon Comstock?) over at Aspidistra, where I first read about this, quite correctly wonders if this is merely some type of “inside joke” from the school’s or rival students. Next week throughout New England, including Massachusetts, is President’s Day and Winter School Vacation Week, so any follow-up with that school is not going to be easy...
