We had some fun once again appearing on Greg Bishop's Radio Misterioso a while back, If you are 'One of Us' then Greg's show is a must 

The Cash-Landrum Incident

Interesting stuff on the 'classic' incident is presented by Curt Collins over at BlueBlurryLines. Related discussion by uber skeptic Robert Shaeffer can be found at Bad UFOs

Crucial Fictions | A 'psychoanalysis' of Whit Strieber

While Lab repairs and facility upgrades continue, it is after a sudden mysterious  absence  Mr. Metcalfe flees from Chicago. Stay tuned, as SHOCKING news is released. Meanwhile enjoy the damned impressive  Crucial Fictions | re 'visiting' of whitley's thought process as he contemplates aliens, satanists childhood ritual abuse and .....?

Update: Crucial Fictions is amazing both as a 'web site' (or an experience, more accurately), as well as a process (documented and explained by The Author).
It has elicited applause, as well as some strangely clueless reactions from "pop culture experts" (whom we have never heard of).

Jason Horsley of Auticulture delves into the writings of Whitley Strieber as both wrestle with a past that may (or may not) involve contact with unknown intelligences and/or childhood (ritualistic?) abuse.

Unfamiliar to some it seems, 'psychohistories' often involve not only the writings of a subject such as, for example,  Martin Luther, as by the brilliant psychiatrist Erik Erickson , but also venture arduously (we think) into an attempted understanding of motivations and psyche (which Jason has clearly stated he does not attempt to do of strieber). Jason uses Strieber's public work as a lens to understand his own past. The journey into the past, a painful one we warn, makes the issue of aliens seem somehow moot

Maybe too much 'pop' culture reading leads to.....not understanding culture  pop or other(?)

So many, they need a column, 1st edition of " Psychic Vampire ufoologists" (and cryptoboologists)!!

  1. UPDATE: LC White and Old! Shock hits remaining 17 crypto fans!!!!

    Breaking news and pressing matters aside, Reading up on what we missed at SSE over at Prof Swords blog the big study, we find another example of the wondrous reasons anomaly research is gaining scientific and public popularity, thanks to the thoughtful and moving response of Expert Loren Coleman to Prof's post (well worth reading and seeing the post and talk as well 
    In the meantime, dear lovers of mystery, is Loren himself an actual Troll?!?!)

    Unfortunately, meetings and photo essays like this reinforce the notion that Forteans are "middle aged and old white men." I have found the field remarkably diverse and more gender-balanced today than even a decade ago.

    1. SHEEZ! Pardon me for writing about a very enjoyable time that I had with my good long time friends, all of whom happen to be brilliant contributors to the anomalies research in their way. I must have missed the notice that all blog entries are required to stretch themselves out of topic and mindread the audience's needs for whatever's bugging them at the moment. Thanks for the unnecessary slap and casting of negativism on what was a joyful entry --- no sense enjoying oneself when there's political work to do. Maybe if Brenda Dunne would have been talking ... or maybe Marsha Adams on mystery lights... or... wait! They're not "youngsters" either, nor of unusual ethnicity [though Brenda is part Native American], and aren't we supposed to be dumping these hang-ups anyway? .

      Why in the hell would anyone decide to post this sort of comment in this context? Are you just taking something that's bothering you out on the next guy you met on the street?

  2. Prof,
    just a verification because of ...mild-disbelief on my part at the above (if that is possible given how jaded I am -
    "Saucers - psychic and civility vampires" sounds like good pulp title that comes to mind)

    Begging the best, expecting primate behavior, that is No Trollish pretender, perhaps?!

    THANKS for the SSE recap. Unfortunately I missed your talk, arriving late Thursday, so I am glad to see this! I actually kicked myself when I realized my flight time. Again, Thank you!

    Proving you can be white, under 60, at SSE, still care enough to read good info AND retain civility and ability to self-censor!
