Circumstances explored in Wayward Sons Book Group might offer examples of what we'd hope - but not expect - to gain from official inquiries into UFO history (see AARO). Gov shenanigans are typically omitted from interest in lieu of exclusive searches for anomalies. www.patreon.com/collection/2...

This is the highest-resolution view of the surface of the Sun. Ever. Taken by the NSF's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, features as small as 19 km across can be resolved. The wispy things are magnetic field boundaries formed by Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. The island of Ireland for scale.

Plus, a possible point of interest emerges in the Octopus conspiracy, could it be a previously unknown remote viewer? Then the UFO fatigue really sets in with some updates on the mandatory UAP disclosure and the craven ghouls running interference.

A soggy ream of paper was left on my desk, a calling card of the Cystic Detective. Today, he recounts readings on Marian apparitions and other signs & wonders, as well as another book on the foreboding Franklin Scandal—it recalls UFO scandals worth revisting tannerfboyle.substack.com/p/cystic-det...

Cystic Detective Update #15

Witnessing signs and wonders, the foreboding Franklin Scandal, and the psychics of The Last Circle + the UFO fatigue truly sets in.

You can see these foul mechanisms in work in our latest video. They really do act like they're part of some weird Resident Evil puzzle.

The Archive but it's a videogame from 1998.

If you'd like something even more dangerous, our archive is so old that we don't use these fancy modern rolling stacks. Ours are attached to a motorised chain that runs the length of the room. This means sometimes they like to move by themselves just a little, enough to keep you on edge.

We're seeking papers from all disciplinary perspectives on the history and culture of weird topics: the cultural forces at work in their origin and development, their form and content, and the audiences that receive them. Abstracts are due Oct. 31!

The CFP for the 2027 meeting of the Popular Culture Association (to be held in Boston in March) is open-- and I'm thrilled to be co-chairing a special topic area on "UFOs, Cryptids, Conspiracies, and the Paranormal"! pcaaca.org/page/submiss...

DHS and DOJ both received more FOIA requests than they processed in fiscal year 2025, contributing to larger pending caseloads by year end. buff.ly/LXjheMO

“You are looking at this permit in isolation .. but it’s death by a thousand cuts... If the DAQ grants this permit, it will be a clear signal that the Governor’s Executive Order (issued May 29th) was hollow and meaningless.” ~ Dr Brian Moench, @healutah.bsky.social #UAtPol #NoDataCenter #Tooele

After two years of research conducted amid staffing cuts and government shutdowns, the committee concluded that federal agencies cannot repair the public-records system on their own.

Researchers may experience a wide variety of ways their records requests are handled from one agency to another. EFR has had some helpful interactions with regional law enforcement agencies, for instance. Some personnel will help reconstruct the request, double check for responsive records, etc.

The Office of Information Policy affirmed FBI action in the EFR FOIA appeal of the processing of its 2025 response to our request on Castlewood Treatment Center. FBI released 15 of 32 pages responsive to the request. 1/2

The Pentagon wants to block FOIA access to all “controlled unclassified information.” If successful, hundreds of millions of documents could be hidden from journalists and the public — potentially forever. Read more in our secrecy newsletter, The Classifieds.
