Easter ‘miracle’ as dead man returns to life
Declared dead by doctors, then rescued from the mortuary, Freddie Maguire has made such a strong recovery that he has been nicknamed Jesus Christ.

The Real ‘X-Files’ : is Uncle Sam a closet UFOlogist?
With terrorism, drug trafficking, climate change, and ever-present pork projects on its plate, the US government, one would think, would have zero free time – not to mention resources -- to devote the supremely elusive topic of flying saucers.

It can take a village to save science -- a village that so far includes a Las Vegas music mogul, Kirkland rocket scientist, Port Townsend artist, Bothell chemist, Louisiana gas-and-oil man with a place in Port Angeles and a Savannah, Ga., computer programmer. The public has stepped forward with cash to boldly go where nobody in the mainstream scientific establishment wants to go -- or, at least, to have to pay for the attempt to go. Backward. In time, that is...

Bigfoot sighting raises hairs
Along McCord Road, where a marsh and woods offer a wildlife sanctuary, a Delavan couple stepped into the realm of the unknown.

Sarasota UFO challenges its witness
A few more UFO sightings over Arcadia, Port Charlotte, and Sarasota have been added to NUFORC’s database this spring. Since they’re all anonymously posted, it’s hard to tell what, if any, impact these events have on witnesses.
