Today is Flying Saucer Day, the day commemorating Kenneth Arnold’s encounter with what the media later called “flying saucers” over Mt Rainier.
To celebrate, here’s the story of the “flying saucer lady” Coral Lorenzen, who’s 1934 UFO sighting in Barron, Wisconsin prompted her to found APRO, the world’s first civilian UFO investigation group.

Stitched Pixel Art by @swiggityswagdad
Today I received a message from Liz, who runs the @swiggityswagdad blog here on Tumblr. She created this lovely cross stitch, based on the animated “I Want to Believe” GIF I did some time ago. It’s so nice that I wanted to share it here! :)

X-Files quotes make great lettering fodder. I’m working on a different quote from the pilot episode right now, but this came together quickly in the meantime.

HEY GUYS!
Long time no speak! I thought I’d come to this blog to tell you that I’m thinking of a.) starting a podcast on the supernatural with my friend and b.) going around haunted locations to get some readings and to, essentially, debunk ghosts and apparitions.
I live in a small town in Wales, which is full of rich history, culture and more importantly, reports of the paranormal!!!!
I was wondering if I could get a little insight, on where I could find some resources to getting started about why we use EMF readings and specific lights to try and see ghosts? Are ouija boards safe? Can I make myself more open to a sighting? Have any of YOU guys seen a ghost? What was it like? Am I asking too many questions? Maybe.
Anyway, I thought that I’d come to this little community I’ve cultivated, allbeit around mostly UFOs and conspiracies, but we’re obviously very open people. Any tips? Anything you would want to share with me? (on anon or not or in a little reply to this post.)
Thanks for the attention!!!
Stay Spooky!
- TANIS:
“Tanis, from the heat and fire, from the sand and spire, her light to bed, her darkness fled, across the sea, eternal she…” Tanis is a bi-weekly podcast that is an exploration of the nature of truth, conspiracy, and information. Good for people who love mystery and conspiracy with a shiver running up their spine. - The Black Tapes:
“The Black Tapes is a serialized docudrama about one journalist’s search for truth.” Good for people who like a bit more ghost in their story with a little less conspiracy. - The Bright Sessions:
“The Bright Sessions is a science fiction podcast that follows a group of therapy patients - each has a unique supernatural ability.” - Addicting! Good for people who veer towards more sci-fi, but also enriched with government conspiracies and twists. - UNEXPLAINED:
“A show that explores the space between what we think of as real and what is not. Where the unknown and paranormal meets the most radical ideas in science today…” Amazing! This is good for people who love interpretive mysteries, accompanied by a cold sweat and a strange feeling. - Limetown:
“Ten years ago, over three hundred men, women and children disappeared from a small town in Tennessee, never to be heard from again.What happened to the people of Limetown?“ This is good for people who love mystery! It reminded me of an extended X-Files episode. - The Message:
“The Message is a new podcast following the weekly reports and interviews who is covering the decoding of a message from outer space received 70 years ago.” ALIENS! CREEPY ALIENS! Good for people who just love the idea of terrifying aliens & conspiracies. - Within the Wires:
“The listener, a medical inmate at a place called the Institute, receives guidance from the mysterious narrator of instructional relaxation cassettes.” Very unsettling, and appeals to those who love conspiracies, I know it appealed to me.
CIA Psychic Gives Reading of Ancient Life on Mars (1984)
The year is 1984, the world is obsessed with science-fiction and the government is obsessed with anything that is paranormal and not of this world. A CIA experiment was conducted where a proclaimed psychic was tricked, being handed a sealed envelope with the location of Mars, 1 million years ago and asked to give accurate reading of the faux location.
The psychic thought it was a simple experiment, to test his powers of this earth. The document below is a transcript of the experiment where the psychic describes the landscape he is seeing as having pyramids, an intelligent system, an established civilisation and alien beings roaming near him. The detail is unbelievable.
The PDF document can be found here, on the CIA’s website.

The Tunguska Event (1908)
The Tunguska Event was the explosion over the sparsely populated Eastern Siberian Taiga flattened 2,000 km2 (770 sq mi) of forest yet caused no known human casualties. The event is largely attributed to the air burst of a meteoroid causing the sheer force that flattened the surrounding tress.
However, may theories point towards a supernatural element as there were was no debris, shrapnel or material left over from the explosion. Trees were flattened without an apparent physical cause. Some still speculate whether this was an extraterrestrial incident.
