Greetings. The Exeter, New Hampshire events from the 3rd of September in 1965 were a highly publicized series of UFO sightings that occurred approximately 8 kilometers south of Exeter in the neighboring town of Kensington. Although multiple independent sightings had been made in the area by numerous witnesses in the weeks leading up to the incident in question, it was the events that transpired on September 3rd which eventually became the most well-known, involving a local teenager and two law enforcement officers. On September 3rd, at approximately 2:00am local time, 18-year-old Norman Muscarello was hitchhiking to his home in Exeter along New Hampshire Route 150.

Such labors are not seen as negative in nature, but are in fact a highly productive series of routines that the scientific research community has embraced and endorsed for decades.  In the UFO subculture, the sitch is distinctly different. People who are well-known in the UFO hippodrome tend to not question the points of view of their ufological peers, choosing a "love and light" approach, void of the sort of endeavors unde...

The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Let Waste Away.

 Greetings. "I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be." Isaac Asimov Ph.D. (1920-1992) The human species is subjected to a wide range of stimuli, mostly originating from the surrounding environment, with the modern content screaming at us from the various technologies we have developed over the eons since our gradual meanderings from the savannas of prehistoric Africa. The manner in which we processed such mental 'nourishment' has usually been unpredictable, strongly influenced by each individual's own beliefs, opinions, and experiences, but nowadays, the situation has morphed to a substantial degree, and not always in a positive way.  When our ancestors came into indirect contact with predatory m...
