That's the one! I've a vivid memory of one scene with a saucer occupant who's mouth morphed while it's voice changed, creeped me out when I was a kid.

Was Project UFO the thing where the US airforce investigated UFOs? I remember seeing a few episodes of that on kids TV here in the early 80s and really liking it, will have to look on the net to see if it's available anywhere. Space 1999 was another favourite, it was usually shown daytime during...

You're more or less correct in your assessment of Fort, I guess you could sum up Forteanism (something Fort himself wasn't fond of) as an interest in the odd, without feeling the need to be pro or anti (unless the evidence strongly points one way or another). We have locally a skeptics group...

Think Jenny Randles has written something like 50+ books, have a soft spot for her books as they were some of the first "grown up" UFO books I got out of the adult section of the library when I was a kid. Nick's got a pretty impressive work rate, though I wish he'd finish his book on the...

I'm most of the way through this and am enjoying it so far- the tale about the guy building the time machine was pretty funny. One thing I'm interested in is trends in strange phenomena- for instance, black eyed kids- is this something that has always occurred but would have been interpreted in...

Aye, this sounds really interesting, will nip over to Amazon to have a squint at it. From what I remember of Nick speaking briefly about this book on a podcast (Dark Matters maybe)? I don't think he himself bought the theory, but was just documenting their beliefs. Would definitely be a good...

I have to admit to quite enjoying the book, however, having read Walter's comments elsewhere about how he was misquoted, it does cast question marks over a big chunk of the content. Having said that, there's a fair amount in the book that's been published elsewhere (Project Beta, various of Nick...

The dermal ridge stuff stuff is interesting, though apparently it could be caused in some cases by casting artifacts that look similar (though that's not to say that's true in all cases). There are some forensic details on some prints that show mid foot flexing etc that would be difficult...

Going back to the subject of Bragalia's review- and I suppose this is a fairly pointless observation as Greg has pointed out he seems to be motivated by a desire to piss people off, but why review something you've quite clearly never read? I'm reading Mirage Men at the moment, and Pilkington...

Some interesting stuff in amongst all that. Ironically, Pope blocked the release of files relating to the internal MOD reaction to his book and media appearences. From what has been released and known about his post, it's suspected he'd exaggerated his role within the department, and there are...

I found this episode interesting, but as most other folk have been saying, I will have to reserve judgement until I see the evidence presented, especially the photo of the upright bear/wolf thing. I remember hearing about the hairs off these creatures- would there be anyway of DNA testing them...

I'm suprised he doesn't turn up on more podcasts, he'd be a great guest. The man's a veritable national treasure!

As others have mentioned, the Fortean Times message board & The Anomalist are good, The Daily Grail is always worth a look too. I'm really interested in cryptozoology, so the Centre For Fortean Zoology blog acts as a good digest of crypto related stuff. I listened to a recording of a Jeff Rense...

Actually, when I posted that link I should have made clear that when I said good, I meant good by the standards of the Daily Mail, which is a horrible excuse for a paper! But, aye, from his own blog and the article in FT this month, I don't think he'd claim everything in the UFO field was down...

Quite a good pice on Mirage Men in the Daily Mail of all places... ARE UFOs JUST A CIA CON-TRICK?: MIRAGE MEN BY MARK PILKINGTON | Mail Online

Are there any recent poltergeist cases that are on a par with this in terms of levels of actvity and evidence? That one in the Australian outback, Humpty Doo or something maybe?

I'd second this, Mirage Men looks like it'll be a good contribution to the field, the article culled from it in this month's Fortean Times is great.

My personal favourite's the Drainclaw, if only they were available in the UK! The acid water one's pretty funny too, buy our product or YOU WILL BE DRINKING CANCER!!!!

No problem, I only know about it as it was mentioned on the Anomalist the other day. I'm sure I've also seen it discussed either on the Fortean Times letters page and/or message board.

I remember Chocky! I thought it was British, though? Haven't seen it since it was first on, but the appearance of the alien was pretty unsettling at the time. For for the uninitiated, it was a TV series based on a John Wyndham book about a kid whose imaginary friend is really a discarnate alien...
