The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek museum in Copenhagen features a number of Greek and Roman portrait busts and statues. These are very fragile and a number of them ended up with broken noses. In the 19th century there was a restoration trend, where museums attempted to restore classical art. New noses were fashioned out of marble or plaster and affixed to the statues to make them whole. In the 20th century, this idea was revisited and they decided that the works should be shown in t

Is it possible that SETI has finally found what it’s been looking for — an extraterrestrial message from deep space?  Apparently for some time now, scientists have been receiving these unusual radio signals, and are at a loss for what could explain them. From the Huffington Post: What are those things? For the past eight years, astronomers have been scratching their heads over a series of strange radio signals emanating from somewhere in the cosmos. And now, the mystery has d

Jesse Marcel Jr., one of the last witnesses to the Roswell debris (inset of his father) It is a shame that 66 years after the Roswell crash we STILL don’t know the truth… and with one of the last credible witnesses having passed away now, I fear we never will. Marcel Jr. was one of the last surviving witnesses to the debris recovered during the Roswell incident. Dr Jesse Marcel was the son of Major Jesse Marcel whose involvement in the recovery of debris from the Roswell UFO

Medjimurje Mayor Ivan Stefic holding the “alien head.” I have no idea what this thing is that the mayor is holding, but I wouldn’t mind having it on display in the Museum of the Weird!  Mayor Stefic, if you’re reading this… call me! A baffled mayor has asked scientists to examine the remains of what be believes to be the head of an alien dug up by workers in a graveyard in Croatia.

Here’s an interesting bit of trivia.  Today, July 8th, was the very day 66 years ago that the legendary UFO crash supposedly took place in Roswell, New Mexico. I don’t know if it’s a cosmic coincidence or another incredible bit of providence on my part, but I’ve just been contacted by a man who claims to have some actual debris from another UFO that crashed somewhere here in Texas over a hundred years ago!  He contacted me after he learned about the Museum of the Weird from t

Against the backdrop of the tiny ET discovery, Greer also will explain in his documentary just how readily available certain forms of off-world alternative energy sources are and how they could be used for advanced alien life forms to cross galaxies to visit our own solar system. Greer has consistently quested, through the development of The Disclosure Project in 1993, to convince the U.S. government to reveal any and all knowledge they may possess about the existence of U.F.

Photo of the supposed UFO caught by a security camera and detailed in a January 5, 2013 MUFON report. Could the above photo be that of an actual landed alien spacecraft?  So claims a witness in Texas who filed a report with MUFON on January 5, 2013. In the report the person alleges his father works for an oil company in Cotulla, Texas, and goes on to explain: “…They had noticed that some people were taking the crude oil in the night… they started putting cameras up around the

Many people believed the end of the world would come on December 21, 2012, the date that marked the end of the Mayan calendar. That date has come and gone, and I can’t help but wonder what all the die-hard Mayan Apocalypse believers are thinking now. There were two general ways of thinking about how this end would come: it would either be a horrific doomsday scenario that would be the end of all life as we know it, or it would mark the beginning of a new age of human enlighte

UFO outside airplane window Whenever I fly, if I’m not trying to get shut-eye I usually stare out the airplane window and let my imagination take over. I start scanning the skies to see if I find anything “unusual” and hope for the rare chance to witness a UFO.

The skeletons were found in a cemetery near Onavas, South Sonora. Now these things look crazy! This is absolutely fascinating! Full bodied skeletons were found in a cemetery of southern Mexico with severely elongated skulls. The ultimate question of course, is why? What prompted them to do this? Did they do it of their own accord or, were they possibly emulating someone, or something, else? The Huffington Post writes: Excavation of an ancient burial site in South Sonora, Mexi
