Ten miles from Bosler, Wyoming sits a ranch with a rather unusual feature. A well over 350 feet deep. A miracle well whose builder was told that he would never strike water. And yet, he did. Pat McGuire's well is an enduring mystery. It's the largest artesian well ever dug in Wyoming, and it was dug in an area that everyone said would be dry. But Pat had faith and a little guidance from an alien angel named Michael. This well would bring with it a host of UFOs, alien abductions, hypnosis...

“Is it saucers, satanists or CIA?” wrote Tom Adams in Stigmata, the only zine dedicated to the cattle mutilation phenomenon of the 1970s and 80s, and by the end of the decade, researchers and investigators were no closer to finding the culprit. The road to the greatest UFO conspiracy of all time is a windy one, laced with paranoia, shady figures, and a carcass count in the tens of thousands. The mute phenomenon was a slow moving one that gradually gained momentum until it led to ranchers...

In 1977 a series of UFO and humanoid sightings would capture the headlines in and around West Wales. Sightings of cigar shaped objects and saucers became common place.

These events would mirror themselves at the Haven Fort Hotel, where Rosa Grenville and her family were likewise visited by strange figures and men in...

The city of Villa Carlos Paz is a tourist destination in central Argentina, known for a number of outdoor activities, such as kite surfing and hiking, as well as a giant cuckoo clock in the center of town. (Apparently the bird is controversial) In UFO circles, however, the town is known for one event in particular, the case of the Night Visitor.

The following day, 18-year-old Jorge da Costa Alves and his friends went searching...

This week I got COVID... so I got my buddies, Brian and Angelo of the Double Density podcast, to step in and host this bad boy this week. Philip Julian Klass is one of the most reviled figures in UFO history. A skeptic by nature, Klass would become synonymous with bad faith debunking, badgering Ed Walters on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and his $10,000 challenge. This week, Brian and Angelo talk about his life in UFOs, his ufological principles, the fallacies in his thinking, his few victories,...
