One of my favorite things about Tolkien is how he describes a typical Hobbit. They are amiable, brave, stout, hardworking, ritualistic, yet complacent, cranky, boring, non-imaginative little creatures, who never do anything inappropriate like take adventures. Their chief goals in life are to eat, reproduce, and pass on heirlooms to their children. Anything outside of…

Big South Fork Trip Report: My awesome wife Kristina paid my way to join a Sheltowee Trace Association (STA) hike this weekend. This was an early birthday present. The price included shuttle fees and permits for camping in the Big South Fork. The hike was excellent, the club members were friendly, and the weather was…

My family and friends tell me they don’t want me to do certain things; things that are potentially dangerous; things that could even get me killed. Hiking alone in the woods certainly has a potential for danger. The most likely culprits being: I could be bitten by a snake, slip and fall from a very high place, trip on…

Steven Spielberg on UFOs “I really found my faith when I heard that the government was opposed to the film [Close Encounters of the Third Kind]. If NASA took the time to write me a 20-page letter, then I knew there must be something happening. I had wanted cooperation from them, but when they read…

Fourteen fallacious arguments on why UFOs (as intelligently controlled extra-terrestrial vehicles) do not (or cannot) exist. (And why there is no cover up) Here we go: (1) UFO’s do not exist because: the U.S. government is so inept, and so broad, that they are incapable of keeping such important secrets. FALSE (and partially true): Have…

The famous McMinnville, OR photos taken in 1950 are widely considered some of the best UFO photographic evidence to date. The Trent’s (the farmer and his wife responsible for taking the photo) were considered by locals to be honest, hardworking, upstanding individuals not prone to flights of fancy or producing confabulations The infamous debunker Phillip…
