Depiction of a “grey alien” Rendered by Bobby from devientart.com In 1994, researchers were planning to open a museum in Hakui, Japan, devoted to the history and evidence of UFOs. Amongst the 10,000 reports they had collected was a memo dated March 22, 1950 to FBI Director J Edgar Hoover from Federal special agent Guy Hottel, who was in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office. This is three years after the reported Roswell incident. Here are quotes from that memo: “An inve

This goes quickly, but watch this… What you are watching is known as “Case 68838 – Oak Park, IL” by the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). MUFON tracks and investigates sitings of UFOs and they have some pretty interesting cases in their logs. This is the report submitted with the video: I was shooting video of a storm cloud emitting heat lightning from our back porch. When I viewed the video I saw a streak of light that I cannot explain or rationalize. I slowed the speed and showed

In a recent article we referenced statements by former Canadian Defense Minister, Paul Hellyer, about his belief that we were being visited by beings from other planets and that the US government was covering it up. Now we find footage featuring another witness that we would expect to be credible describing a detailed UFO experience with a similar claim. US Army deputy commander Colonel Charles Halt recounts his experience, December 1980, when he witnessed UFO activity over R

You’re stopped on a deserted road, responsibly pulled over as you text your friends. Suddenly, the phone goes dead. The car goes dead. You are stranded in the dark in the middle of nowhere. A light, as bright as the sun, erupts in the darkness and you are chilled to the bone as you realize you are about to have a close encounter with alien life. But which ones will it be? According to the article,  The 6 Alien Species Currently Fighting for Control Over Earth, not all aliens

The other day I talked about the strange 19th century UFO history of Aurora, Texas. Not all UFO history in Texas is ancient (in Texas years. Those Greeks and Egyptians are just showing off.). Stephenville, Texas has had some really interesting sightings, including one that received a lot of attention in 2008. The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) released a detailed report on the incident, which included their analysis of RADAR data. More recently there was a bizarre sighting over H

You might think that UFO stories about aliens are pretty new, but there’s one in Texas that dates back to 1897. A tiny town called Aurora, just a little north of Ft. Worth (215 miles from the Museum of the Weird), has a mysterious legend about an alien encounter. Grave site of alleged alien from the crash in 1897 I’m thinking field trip! It’s about a 3.5 hour drive from the Museum. We head out, pay our respects. Maybe we sneak into Ft. Worth for some food and maybe a Stockyar

Imagine driving down the road and you see this up ahead. By Brady Smith; Coconino National Forest [CC BY-SA 2.0], via Wikimedia Commons You might feel that we were being invaded, but what you see is an unusual formation called a “lenticular cloud.” These clouds form in situations where some sort of large object (like a mountain or a building) disturbs the air flow and creates an eddie of air. When the conditions are right, clouds form in these eddies and take on a bizarre sau

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. The twisted, soft-bodied remains – which seems to have a beak-like mouth in the centre – were u

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

On May 18, 2013 several eyewitnesses reported a UFO crashing into Lake Titicaca in Peru. The event was even captured by the local news station 90 as the strange object entered the atmosphere and slowly descended in a fiery blaze. The first thought was that this was a meteor, but as pointed out by Scott Waring on UFO Sightings Daily, meteors have only one tail that is then broken up into sections. This particular object has two tails. Another interesting aspect of this story i

One of the many speculations put forth by ufologists is the idea that UFOs can create their own “clouds” in order to sneak into an unsuspecting city or town undetected. An impressive example of one such “UFO cloud” was spotted hovering over the scenic city of Livadeia, Greece. UFO Sightings Daily posted images and a YouTube video of this cloud documented by a resident of Livadeia and they are quite unique and impressive. But are they truly evidence of an alien visitation? Our

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.

The truth is out there, but for believers of UFO theories, it may very well be contained within the F.B.I.’s database of public records known as the Vault. Out of the 6,700 documents, one in particular has been viewed nearly a million times since 2011. Known as the “Hottel Memo,” the letter was addressed to then Director Edgar J. Hoover on March 22, 1950 from Guy Hottel, the head of the Bureau’s field office in Washington, D.C. It relayed a conversation held between Hottel an

Did a plane carrying a famed fashion designer vanish into thin air over these islands? Last month, a plane carrying famous fashion designer Vittorio Missoni mysteriously disappeared in mid-flight. An exhaustive search found no wreckage or debris, and to this day it remains an unsolved mystery. The region the plane vanished in is known as a dangerous area where other disappearances have occurred.  Referred to as ‘Los Roques Curse,’ it is close to the vicinity of the infamous B

The skies over Chelyabinsk, Russia light up after a meteorite breaks up in the atmosphere. Could it be the Mayans were a couple of months off? It might seem like something out of the movie Armageddon, but within a day of each other two frightening and spectacular astronomical events occurred that show just how close we could get to a real doomsday scenario. The first happened in the skies over Russia, when on Thursday a meteor streaked through the skies over Russia, exploding

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

The folks over at ghosttheory.com have pulled together a fantastic review of our past presidents and their relationship/ knowledge of UFOs and extraterrestrials. Ghost Theory writes: E Pluribus Unum: Out of many, One is what it says on the Seal of the President of the United States of America. Traditionally the phrase is meant to express that out of the many colonies that formed the nascent new country a single nation was born. In a more modern context it could be interpreted
