The letters of HP Lovecraft: http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/letters/ There are many volumes available; the man is thought to have written well over 100,000 letters. Personally, I am not a huge Lovecraft fan. I would much rather read Robert E. Howard, Walter Gibson or H Rider Haggard.

And I quote from the article cited above: "Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including...

"Little green men" was used by a witness at least once; possibly more. I had the show on but I was in and out as the children didn't to stay in bed and, frankly, the show wasn't compelling enough to make me hit the "pause" button on the DVR when I got up!

Actually, this interview has been posted here a couple of times! For the record, I think this has been posted as well, but as long as Keyhoe has been brought up again, here is a link to an ebook version of Flying Saucers ARE Real: http://manybooks.net/titles/keyhoedoetext04tfsar10.html It is...

It is my understanding, based entirely on the BBC's Big Bang Day Torchwood audio episode, that a micro black hole will not be created, but an alien that convinces people it is their dead loved ones' souls before eating them does come through though. That kind of sucks.

"Now could I not equally say - What happens if your UFO travels at the speed of sound? The sound from the sound source never reaches the mirror hence, no tick, hence, time for you stops." No, the speed of sound is a much less important number and not really a constant. Sound must, unlike...

Treat Your Mother Right is one of the greatest things ever freaking recorded. Mr. T should have gotten a Grammy.

This is probably most interesting as a study in how these theories start and gain strength. It seems completely without merit. One thing that I find fascinating is that this fantastic yarn gained some traction while another story circulating early on stating that she had banned a slew of books...

Ouch. If I had the chicken pox, I would skip all of the medicines and charms of the local witchdoctor and resist the urge to itch by getting very, very drunk. It isn't a mature, or even particularly smart, reaction. However, chicken pox is used to immature reactions. Besides, when people...

Many would argue that such a book would not be science... after all, if you can't test it it is merely a hypothesis. It should probably be called Flying Saucers Vs. Science! And the book you were hoping for could be called The Science of Flying Saucers. If you are just getting into UFOs or if...

Hastings was, by no means, the worst offender. He actually barely broached the subject of physics. Like I said, I have no problem with anyone stating "headlines" in physics. When he says that many physicists are considering FTL a possibility, that is true enough. However, when he makes...

I am listening to the 8/31 episode and I am getting that sick feeling again that I get whenever I hear non-physicists throwing around theoretical physics. I went to college on a scholarship and was being fast tracked into the Physics Department. I was a physics major for about a year and then...

How about: Flying Saucers and Science by Stanton Friedman (I reviewed it recently on this forum and it would be perfect for this type of reader). Project Blue Book Special Report #14 which, by the way, is available as a PDF here: http://www.ufocasebook.com/pdffiles.html as well as in print. UFO...

I am not sure what you mean by that... Is there more than one kind of science? Seriously, though, the book is concerned with how academics, scientists and, to a lesser extent, the media treat the subject. It does not recount or investigate any sightings or experiences. Friedman instead...

Bought it, read it and... well, it is not a bad book but it is not great either. I admit I like Stanton Friedman. He is a fairly rational guy, all things considered, although he can be a bit repetitive. I have read his earlier works except for Captured. The book is the same way. It is a...
