Hunt for the Skinwalker takes the audience on a journey to “the most studied paranormal hotspot in history” according to the director, Jeremy Corbell. While the film is eerie, it leaves its viewers with more questions than answers.

Watching a horror movie on Halloween night is pretty cliche. I’m no prude, but once in a while, I need something spooky and ‘real’ to get the old heart pumping. So, for all you paranormal nerds and alien junkies, here is a quick list of some great documentaries to stream on Halloween night.

My wife and I have made watching Saturday Night Live a ritual in our home. Say what you will about the quality of SNL today in relation to the ‘good old days,’ the show still has its finger on the pulse of American culture. As we sat on our couch this last Saturday night, beers in hand, host Bill Hader, and the SNL cast put on a sketch about alien abduction.

On the western coast of Lake Winnipeg runs a small river, and upon one side of that river sits a small cemetery, hidden by miles of marshland and never visited. The graves are no longer marked. The house that once sat there is nothing but a ruined stone foundation. The sign, blue and white, bearing the words “Nes Cemetary” has no company but an old white stone angel. Well that, and the seemingly active denizens of that graveyard who, at night, attempt to drag the living into the marshy depths.

I want to begin by simply saying that this article is not about Tom DeLonge. Ok. Maybe a bit. It is more “around” him than “about” him. The man has taken significant abuse as of late. He has been the topic of much discussion over the last year or so within the UFO community concerning his “Sekret Machines” project. Some are calling him one of the most important contributors to modern Ufology, some calling him a charlatan and a fraud, while others yet consider him a victim of a conspiratorial disinformation plot.

UFO discourse is shrouded in mystery, intrigue, and a large dose of eccentricity. Mainstream media typically refuses to engage with the UFO topic, so UFO researchers and enthusiasts are generally left to congregate in the dark corners of the internet looking for scraps of reliable information to add to their repertoire. It should come as no surprise that when a massive collection of UFO related information emerges from Wikileaks, the UFO crowd begins to frenzy.

In a series of recently declassified memos and operations manuals, an interesting dichotomy has emerged. The North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) seems to have been caught in a lie. Publicly and officially, NORAD does not investigate or have any interest in the UFO phenomenon. Yet, in a collection of documents unearthed by researcher Paul Dean, the top-secret reality is very different; NORAD’s collection of UFO data is thorough and goes directly to their top brass.

The recent announcement by the Pentagon that it ran a secretive UAP/UFO program has hit the UFO community like a wave. The news followed a New York Times article which featured a $20 million-dollar program designed to investigate UFO reports and a 30-second video taken by an F-18 Super Hornet’s gun camera, and features the pilot’s audible reactions to an anomalous object they were tracking.

In response to the Fermi Paradox, Caleb Scharf, an astrophysicist at Columbia University, has explored the possibility that humanity has yet to find otherworldly intelligent life out in the cosmos due to the fact that the alien intelligence may be the cosmos itself. Tie that in with a groundbreaking new research project suggesting that the human mind, consciousness itself, can influence the physical world, is it possible that all that spooky universe out there is conscious, and awake?

Lucien Hardy, a theoretical physicist at the Perimeter Institute in Canada, has proposed a study to measure the effect of the human mind on the laws of physics. In simple terms, he wants to prove that consciousness is not made up of matter.

As the reality of self-driving cars has entered the fast lane, and humanity may soon face the very real possibility of automated transport on roads, designers of the cars are faced with some serious considerations.

Ever since the recent announcement from NASA in regards to the Trappist-1 star system housing exoplanets in the habitable zone, possible alien life, and the collective feeling of excitement regarding this discovery, the internet has been buzzing with elbow nudges and winks of the conspiratorial sort. That’s right, this discovery is simply another step towards the official announcement by the ‘powers that be’ that Earth is allegedly already being visited by extraterrestrials.
