As you may know, I have so many blogs right now that it's sometimes hard to keep track of what's going on and where. So, I am bringing all my current blogs to a halt. I'm not deleting them. But, I am folding them as of today. In their place, I have set up a new blog titled <b>Nick Redfern's Fortean World</b>.
Yeah, I know: it's hardly the most original or imaginative title, but it is accurate and to the point! So, from now on, while all my existing blogs will remain archived, here's the address for the new blog, <b><a href="http://nickredfernfortean.blogspot.com/">Nick Redfern's Fortean World</a></b>.
As you'll see, the design and style has not been completed yet, and there's no content yet either. But, bear with me, and over the next few days you'll see it start to develop its life and character!Nick Redfernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07199813303416083671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864690677322892255.post-46224829417917880122012-03-08T09:12:00.002-08:002012-03-08T09:19:20.092-08:00Did Hitler Survive? A Very Strange Secret!Over at his <em><strong>Room 101</strong></em> page at Tim Binnall's <em><strong>Binnall of America</strong></em>, site, Richard Thomas notes the following in a new post:<br /><br />"Last year, the web was ablaze with conspiracy theories when the news of Osama Bin Laden's death was announced to the world on the exact same day as Adolf Hitler's death was 66 years earlier, May 1st. Most of these conspiracies included the belief that Osama bin Laden hadn't been killed at all, because the Al-Qaeda founder and leader had been dead for years. Similar uncertainty has surrounded the fate of Hitler after WWII, only instead of dying years before the war's end, many believe the Nazi Fuhrer escaped Germany to begin a new life in South America or elsewhere. Like Bin Laden, except for a few skull fragments which could belong to anyone, no body was ever shown to the war weary public, so why shouldn't people question the official story?"<br /><br />Well, to find out why some <em>are</em> questioning the official story, <a href="http://binnallofamerica.com/rr030512.html"><strong>check out this interview</strong></a> that Richard has conducted with Gerrard Williams, co-author with Simon Dunstan of a new book titled <em><strong>Grey Wolf: The Escape of Adolf Hitler</strong></em>.<br /><br />And, after doing that, be sure to check out <a href="http://www.amazon.com/PARA-NEWS-Conspiracy-Theories-Cryptozoology-ebook/dp/B0051PR066/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331053393&sr=8-1">Richard's very own excellent book, <em><strong>Para-News</a></strong></em>, which covers such issues as conspiracies, UFOs, ghosts, Cryptozoology, and much more.Nick Redfernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07199813303416083671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864690677322892255.post-6392588276169551142011-08-31T09:40:00.001-07:002011-08-31T10:20:32.724-07:00Majic Eyes Only and the Alien Virus<img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifshwJRPj7CDP0fUBVJt4hE1TevHmPgTVfBiKA0Ub9SUwy3kd_aPcCyRT9zT2fYIrBoqw5RtAchSjRQDCwO3Vo9YHXkBxnD74iXvfZQC_EGBEu_z0MXKtZM-j85OAI4uDS6KiTn71GSvwo/s320/MEO.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644832111120868962" /></a>When it comes to accounts of crashed UFOs, there is one area of the subject that is seldom discussed - namely that relative to so-called alien viruses.
<br />
<br />There is, perhaps, a tendency for us to assume that if an attack on the Earth by hostile extraterrestrials ever takes place, it will likely involve E.T. wiping us out via the awesome power of futuristic, planet-pummeling weaponry and technology.
<br />
<br />But there's another possibility, and it's a highly disturbing one, too. Perhaps the end might be on top of us before we even realize it. And, maybe, the first indication will be when people start dropping like flies. That's right: extermination may very well be provoked by the spreading - deliberate or otherwise - of a lethal alien virus, against which the Human Race may not have any form of defense.
<br />
<br />If you think such a scenario is way off target, or could never, ever come to pass, you might be wise to err on the side of caution.
<br />
<br />A very good source for such alien virus-themed data as it relates to alien life and UFOs is <a href="http://www.majiceyesonly.com/">Ryan Wood's book, <em><strong>MAJIC EYES ONLY: Earth's Encounters With Extraterrestrial Technology</strong></em>.</a>
<br />
<br />Wood's title includes a large body of fascinating data that strongly suggests a direct link between certain prominent cases of UFO crash/retrieval and alien viruses.
<br />
<br />Not only that, Wood also cites the text of official, previously-secret files reflecting the distinct possibility of severe illness provoked by alien infection.
<br />
<br />In the pages of <em><strong>MAJIC EYES ONLY</strong></em>, Wood highlights a number of significant and relevant cases, including: <strong>(A)</strong> the reported crash of a UFO in North Wales, United Kingdom in 1974, along with the transfer of alien bodies from the crash-site to an ultra-secret installation in the south of England called Porton Down - well-known for its official research into biological warfare and exotic viruses; <strong>(B)</strong> a second event from 1974 - in Chihuahua, Mexico - involving the apparent mysterious and sudden deaths of Mexican military personnel engaged in recovering the remains of a saucer-shaped vehicle, and who were exposed to a lethal virus of E.T. origins; and <strong>(C)</strong> an event that occurred in Somaliland in 1996, in which the crash of an object of unknown origins led to widespread and severe illness in the local human and animal population.
<br />
<br />As Ryan Wood's <em><strong>MAJIC EYES ONLY </strong></em>clearly demonstrates, the UFO issue can, at times, truly be considered a deadly one...
<br />
<br /><a href="http://www.majiceyesonly.com">Check out Ryan Wood's book, <em><strong>MAJIC EYES ONLY: Earth's Encounters with Extraterrestrial Technology</a></strong></em>, which is the definitive guide to UFO events of the crashed kind.
<br />
<br /><strong>And here's the publisher's information on Ryan Wood's book, which, for crashed UFOs devotees, makes for essential reading:</strong>
<br />
<br /><em><strong>MAJIC EYES ONLY </strong></em>is the most authoritative and comprehensive chronicle ever published on the subject of worldwide UFO crashes and subsequent military retrievals from 1897 to the present. The author guides the reader through 74 UFO crash incidents supported by compelling evidence in the form of official documents, eyewitnesses and in some cases physical evidence.
<br />
<br />Since 1984, multiple sources have leaked, revealed or discovered some 3,500 pages of UFO documents, hundreds classified Top Secret and linked to Majestic-12. These MJ-12 documents, coupled with the Leonard Stringfield data and strong investigations by other case experts, provide a powerful core of UFO crash incidents.
<br />
<br />The idea that major governments have covered up the true nature of the UFO phenomenon for more than half a century through unprecedented secrecy, deception and intimidation strikes many reasonable citizens as preposterous. Yet, this book provides a wealth of evidence, including declassified and leaked government documents and credible eyewitness testimony, that supports the uncomfortable truth of this "preposterous" notion.
<br />
<br />Majic Eyes Only is the Top Secret security classification for overwhelming proof of the most deeply held secret on the planet: we are not alone in the universe. Furthermore, several major governments have captured and exploited both extraterrestrial spacecraft and living aliens, for purposes that may sometimes defy understanding but which undoubtedly include the relentless quest for military supremacy and the preservation of society's established power structures.
<br />
<br />On March 5, 1942 Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall created an inflection point in history by issuing a Top Secret memorandum to President Roosevelt that inaugurated one of the most secret enterprises the world has ever seen: the Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit (IPU). The existence of the IPU is not speculation; it has been acknowledged in several Freedom of Information Act requests. It was within the IPU that re-investigation of the 1897 Aurora, Texas UFO crash retrieval began, along with investigation of two UFO crashes that occurred in February 1942, one in the mountains of San Bernardino, California, and the other just off the Southern California coast - all of this years before Roswell.
<br />
<br /><em><strong>MAJIC EYES ONLY </strong></em>is a landmark synthesis and review of every credible UFO crash retrieval event uncovered worldwide to date. Assembling data from his own research and numerous other investigators, including crash retrieval pioneer Leonard Stringfield, the author presents 74 UFO crashes from 1897 to the present, supported by compelling evidence in the form of official documents, eyewitnesses and in some cases physical evidence. Incidents do vary in quality, evidence, and therefore authenticity. However, any reader who starts from a neutral position will find, by the end of this book, that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that: <strong>1)</strong> UFOs have crashed on earth, <strong>2)</strong> governments have recovered and exploited these alien technology gifts and <strong>3)</strong> most disturbing to a democratic free society, the "alien secret" is more important than constitutional or individual rights.

'The False Lights' were mysterious revolving lights seen above a rocky headland at Whitburn, county Durham, by mariners negotiating a hazardous stretch of the northeast coast. During a ten year period from 1860 more than 150 ships were wrecked on the rocks near Whitburn after following a light or lights in the sky which they wrongly believed were from a lighthouse at the mouth of the Tyne."<br /><br /> <a href="http://drdavidclarke.blogspot.com/2010/08/britains-first-x-file.html"><strong>Check it out!</strong></a>Nick Redfernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07199813303416083671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864690677322892255.post-4620536978282639672010-05-17T08:40:00.001-07:002010-05-17T08:40:52.531-07:00Secret Serpent Files?Just recently, one of my <strong>Lair of the Beasts </strong>columns over at <strong>Mania.com </strong>was devoted to the British Government's files on the Loch Ness Monster (<a href="http://www.mania.com/lair-beasts-nessie-files_article_121757.html"><strong>here's the link</strong></a>). <br /><br />It seems, however, that as interested as the Government has certainly been in Nessie at times, <a href="http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/national/8168102.No_archive_on_sea_monsters__Navy/">that interest is not reflected by Britain's Royal Navy</a>, who confirm that while sailors may, theoretically, wish to report a sighting of a sea-serpent while sailing the oceans, there is no official "Sea Serpent File," or official mandate to collect reports...Nick Redfernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07199813303416083671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864690677322892255.post-6891388131109867372010-03-01T05:32:00.001-08:002010-03-01T05:35:03.785-08:00MoD Files & UFOsDave Clarke has an excellent new post over at his blog, which provides all the required info on the British Ministry of Defence's decision to close its "UFO Desk."<br /><br />As Dave says: "Britain's Ministry of Defence is destroying all UFO reports it receives so it can avoid answering Freedom of Information requests.

Britain’s Ministry of Defense has had a keen interest in UFOs for decades, and since releasing numerous UFO documents to the public, documents have emerged that indicate copies were sent to other higher clearance agencies as well. The public files reveal a subversive interest in the extraterrestrial presence which was monitored by “Defence Intelligence” branches. High ranking officers apparently believe that the phenomenon does indeed exist but they ultimately conclude that there’s “no threat to defense” and have been categorized as mostly ET reconnaissance missions, scientific study, or alien “tourism.” Seems from the number of reports of unexplained sightings that we are a popular destination indeed!Nick Redfernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07199813303416083671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864690677322892255.post-22724700511084953852009-08-20T11:10:00.001-07:002009-08-20T11:11:49.034-07:00More on the UK-UFO FilesDave Clarke (who has been instrumental in pushing for the release of UFO material) <a href="http://drdavidclarke.blogspot.com/2009/08/we-want-you-come-with-us.html"><strong>gives a good overview</strong></a> on the newly-released British <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">MoD</span>-UFO files.Nick Redfernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07199813303416083671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864690677322892255.post-47177338242098371992009-08-19T13:06:00.000-07:002009-08-19T13:09:10.054-07:00UK-UFO Files<a href="http://kithraskrystalkave.blogspot.com/2009/08/more-uk-government-ufo-files-available.html"><strong><em>Fellow <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Fortean</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Kithra</span> alerts us to the latest news on the most recent release of UFO files from the British Ministry of Defence</em></strong></a><strong><em>.</em></strong><br /><br />As she says:<br /><br />"The UK has just released some more UFO files, this time for the years 1981 to 1996.

Gavaerd concerning the nation's official UFO files:</strong><br /><br /><br /><br />Dear colleagues of the World UFO Community:<br /><br /><br />As of May 04th, Brazilian Government has disclosed over 600 new pages of previously classified documents, covering UFO reports and military investigations from 1970 to 1979, including photos and films, for the first time.<br /><br /><br />The content of this material has now been examined and proved to be very interesting and revelatory of Brazilian official strategy to cover UFO cases, often openly regarded as "from external sources" in these new documents, meaning from outside Earth. The cases covered and the methods used to investigate them by the military are also very significant.<br /><br /><br />On my oppinion, the most important material contained in this new declasification are 195 new pages of documents resulted from the Operation Saucer, conducted in the Amazon by the Brazilian Air Force from September to December 1977, that is certainly the biggest *known* official innitiative to military investigate UFOs in the world.<br /><br /><br />As I also reported, so far, over 1,400 pages of Brazilian previously classified UFO documents have been released thanks to the efforts of the Brazilian UFO Researchers Committee (CBU), through the campaign UFOs: Freedom of Information Now, started in 2004 and articulated by the Brazilian UFO Magazine. This last one has been the biggest disclosure ever in Brazil.<br /><br /><br />The PDF files of 12 envelopes or folders now released can be can be downloaded at: <a href="http://www.ufo.com.br/public/abertura_2">www.ufo.com.br/public/abertura_2</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br />Please read below a summary of the contents of each envelope or folder and pay special attention to this one: Folder 10 - 1978, downloadable at <a href="http://www.ufo.com.br/public/abertura_2/CENDOC_ENVELOPE_10_1978.pdf">www.ufo.com.br/public/abertura_2/CENDOC_ENVELOPE_10_1978.pdf</a>, with 195 pages of Operation Saucer material.<br /><br /><br />Brazilian UFO researchers are very excited about these new disclosures, that inquestionably prove that our efforts have been profitable for the entire Brazilian UFO Community.<br /><br /><br />Download more official disclosed documents at the Brazilian UFO Magazine FTP areas:<br /><a href="http://www.ufo.com.br/public/abertura_1">www.ufo.com.br/public/abertura_1</a><a href="http://www.ufo.com.br/public/brasil">www.ufo.com.br/public/brasil</a><a href="http://www.ufo.com.br/public/documents">www.ufo.com.br/public/documents</a><br /><br /><br />FEEL FREE TO USE AND REPUBLISH THIS MATERIAL IN YOUR WEBSITE, BUT PLEASE MENTION ITS ORIGIN AS CREDITS.<br /><br /><br />A.

The recommended cover price is £12.99 but those who order early can obtain a discount.</em><br /><br /><em>The book has been specially produced to accompany the ongoing releases of MoD files via the TNA website UFO page.</em><br /><br /><em><strong>The UFO Files</strong> showcases accounts of UFO experiences extracted from the entire TNA collection from the 19th century to the present day.</em><br /><br /><em>The first two chapters include official accounts of sightings and investigations of phantom airships, foo-fighters and flying saucers from the first half of the 20th century.</em><br /><br /><em>Later chapters cover classic UFO incidents featured in the Air Ministry and Ministry of Defence files, ending with the most recent material released under the Freedom of Information Act.

The book sheds new light on many famous cases, such as RAF Topcliffe, 1952; the Flying Cross in Devon, 1967; RAF West Freugh, Scotland, 1957; the Berwyn Mountains UFO crash and the Phantom Helicopter Mystery, as well as the notorious ‘Welsh triangle’ and the Rendlesham Forest incident. Dramatic witness statements and personal interviews - many undertaken by the author himself - combine with rarely seen photographs, drawings and newly available documents to bring these extraordinary experiences vividly to life.

On this matter, Dave has been digging deep to try and resolve things, as the following from his new post demonstrates:<br /><br /><em>One of the questions asked “who the author was, what the author’s qualifications in this subject were; to whom the report was circulated [and] what actions were taken on the recommendations of the report.”</em><br /><br /><em>In response Baker was told the report cost the public around £50,000 but they would not name the author or say anything more about his background. “The author of the report was a contractor and was employed by the Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS) on a long-term contract,” Ingram responded in Hansard, 19 March 2007. “Further details of the author, including the name, are being with-held under the Data Protection Act 1998 [Section 40 of the Freedom of Information Act].”</em><br /><br />And what happened when Dave - obviously not satisfied with that response - took further steps to try and identify the elusive author?<br /><br /><a href="http://drdavidclarke.blogspot.com/2009/04/author-of-mod-ufo-study-to-remain-in.html">Click right here to find out!</a>Nick Redfernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07199813303416083671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864690677322892255.post-62121640550959478042009-03-22T17:51:00.000-07:002009-03-22T17:54:20.084-07:00New UK-UFO Government FilesThe following just in from Dave Clarke in the UK:<br /><br />"From Sunday 22 March 2009 a third collection of UK MoD UFO files can be downloaded from The National Archives website: <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ufos" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ufos</a><br /><br />"Visitors to the website can download a highlights guide, a podcast and an updated background briefing I have prepared as consultant to The National Archives on the ongoing UFO files release programme.<br /><br />"'This tranche consists of seven files containing more than 2000 pagesof material.

In addition, a number of documents held at the Archive also focus upon official interest in the occult, witchcraft, and other matters of a similar nature.<br /><br />And, with that in mind, I figured this was an ideal time to bring to your attention an article, titled <strong><em>007 and 666: A True Tale of Spies and Sorcery</em></strong>, written by a good friend of mine, Micah Hanks.<br /><br />As Micah says:<br /><br />"A while back, I had begun working on an article that dealt with some of the more extraordinary (and in some cases, even paranormal) aspects of James Bond creator Ian Fleming’s career with British Intelligence Services during World War II. As most who have read the novels or studied James Bond’s history otherwise may know, many of Fleming’s experiences in real life later inspired the adventures of the world’s most famous secret agent. The article, however, was never published; therefore, I felt it was perhaps a good time, along with the release of <em><strong>Quantum of Solace</strong></em> in theaters, to present for the first time my original tribute to the 007’s classy creator. As the name implies, the following article, <strong><em>007 and 666: A True Tale of Spies and Sorcery</em></strong>, is indeed based on real events that lead to the capture of the infamous Nazi Rudolph Hess. With a cast of characters that includes Maxwell Knight (then Fleming’s superior officer in MI5), the notorious <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Aleister</span> Crowley, and Fleming himself, it is by far one of the oddest tales ever to stem from the annals of history."<br /><br /><a href="http://gralienreport.com/conspiracies/007-and-666-a-true-tale-of-spies-and-sorcery/">And to read the rest of Micah's first-class piece, click right here.</a>Nick Redfernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07199813303416083671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864690677322892255.post-65003131949864001112008-10-21T11:40:00.000-07:002008-10-21T11:42:39.897-07:00Lightning Secrets<a href="http://www.forteantimes.com/">The new issue of <strong><em><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Fortean</span> Times</em></strong> magazine</a> includes an article from me on secret files and research undertaken by the U.S. military since the 1940s to try and control - and utilize as a weapon - ball-lightning.
