Think AnomalousOver the past 45 years, researchers have amassed a sizable body of literature attesting to the human ability to "sense" things in the future. The data are controversial, but they've proven tough to explain as anything but evidence that there's a lot more to consciousness than we'd previously assumed.

His case is now widely considered the first alien abduction of the post-war era, and the first to imply an agenda of alien-human hybridization.

An official FAA investigation revealed cockpit recordings, radar data, and eyewitness interviews that all attest to a truly remarkable encounter, and an official government cover-up.

This video uses sound effects downloaded from stockmusic.com.UFO Disclosure? Part 1 - Tom DeLonge and AATIPThink Anomalous2021-07-30 | A number of fans have asked me my opinion on the recent news around UFOs, and the apparent moves towards UFO disclosure on the part of the US government. I have been extremely skeptical of this “disclosure” campaign from the start, and I think it’s important that students of ufology take a critical look at these developments, and challenge some of the narratives presented. To this end, I’ve decided to do a two-part series on the disclosure campaigns of the 21st century, and how they’re not what they appear to be.
This is the first of these videos, covering the work of Tom DeLonge and To The Stars Academy, as well as the revelation of the AATIP program.
Special thanks to Robbie Graham for reviewing an earlier draft of this narration. Robbie is an indispensable voice in ufology, and he currently runs August Night Books, which has published some excellent titles in anomalistics. Check out their website: augustnightpress.blogspot.com/p/books.html

Throughout the Second World War, Allied and German pilots frequently encountered fast-moving balls of light and other strange phenomena over Europe, the Mediterranean, and the South Pacific. The large volume of reports make it abundantly clear that the UFO phenomenon preceded the summer of the flying saucer, and suggest that the US government may have known more than they let on in the wake of Arnold's sighting.

It's a composite image based mostly from a 16th-century woodcut depicting a UFO sighting over Nuremberg, in modern-day Germany. As well as producing a captivating illustration, the sighting is a good example of an early-modern "wonder-sign," long before the term UFO ever entered the lexicon, and before anyone suspected extraterrestrial culprits.

The 60-some children that witnessed a UFO event in 1994 all saw things a little differently, in a way that highlights just how bizarre the phenomenon can be.

The Hudson Valley sightings came in waves, frequently recurring in the same few areas north of New York City. After years of sightings, it became clear that these sightings followed a few strange, but discernible patterns that seem to suggest that there is some logic to the UFO phenomenon.

Despite this, however, we know very little about its origins, or the purpose of its many peculiar features. Egyptologists generally agree that it was built as a Pharaoh’s tomb, but specialists from a variety of different disciplines have shown it to be vastly more complex than other pyramids, and very different from other tombs, suggesting that it may have had some other function altogether.

Hieronyma's experiences, though certainly unique, are also not unlike the experiences of those who suffer from modern-day sleep paralysis, or alien abductions.

While this stereotype is patently false, it was not created out of thin air. Rather, the association between uneducated southerners and UFO landings, as well as the popularity of the term "Little Green Men," both come from a highly influential case from rural Kentucky in 1955.

But there is actually a substantial body of evidence to support the idea of reincarnation, and though it has remained on the fringes of mainstream scientific thought, it promises to overthrow a number of common assumptions about consciousness and the nature of the human mind.

But some of the most fantastic and puzzling abductions occurred in Italy, to a security guard named Piero Fortunato Zanfretta. The abductions were thoroughly documented by his employer, the Italian military police, and a journalist named Rino DiStefano, and yet the details are almost too bizarre to believe. The beings that Zanfretta encountered are unique in the UFO literature, but their behaviours are not entirely unfamiliar in the longer history of anomalous encounters...
CORRECTION: Marzano, the location of the first abduction, is not in Lombardy, but in Marzano di Torriglia, near Genoa, in the vale of river Bisagno.

UFO Sightings, 1952Think Anomalous2017-03-19 | As hard as it is to imagine now, there was once a time when UFOs were given serious, front-page coverage in US national news, and when the Air Force would hold press conferences at the Pentagon to brief the public on what it knew. All of this began to change after a highly-publicized pair of UFO sightings over the nation's capitol in the summer of 1952. Despite the Air Forces' attempts, these events remain one of Project Blue Book's hardest cases to dismiss.

According to scripture, it dried up rivers, destroyed city walls, and killed people en masse. Then, it simply vanished. In this video, we explore the history of the ark, and look at a few theories to account for its disappearance as well as its whereabouts today.
** CORRECTION A viewer with a much better knowledge of Hebrew than myself point out an error I made at the beginning of this video, where I claim that the Hebrew word for "Ark" is the same word used for "boat" in the language. Below is an excerpt from the viewer's email to me: "The Hebrew term ארון (aron) is not used for "boat" in the Hebrew Scriptures, but only for a chest of some sort, and nearly exclusively in the Hebrew Scriptures for the "Ark" of the Covenant. But this Hebrew word is also used for Joseph's coffin, and for a chest for collecting coins. Other than those two other usages, I did not find anything greater than chest size. A different Hebrew term, תיבה (tevah) is used for Noah's ark, and this word is never used for the Ark of the Covenant. However, many generations after the writing of the Hebrew Bible, Jewish writers in Greek translated those two different terms with the Greek term κιβωτός, (kibotos) which would be similar to calling them both an "Ark." But in the original Hebrew, they are not the same word. At the following link go to the paragraph labled "Thayer's Greek Lexicon" for more details. biblehub.com/greek/2787.htm
** CORRECTION Solomon was the third king of the United Monarch of Israel, not the second king, as I state in the video.

The case provides strong evidence that consciousness is capable of existing outside the body, and makes us wonder whether other "supernatural" entities like angels and aliens are really anchored to their physical bodies at all.

Before Charles Fort, anomalies were typically explained away, or else absorbed into pre-existing explanatory frameworks like religion and mythology. Thanks to his efforts, they can now be set aside for further research, even if they're still often ignored in mainstream science.

It's a good metaphor for the science of anomalistics, and a natural choice for the first video in the series.
