Journal Entry: Picasso, Braque, Cubism and the Extreme Psychological Reaction of the UFO Experience
When Braque saw Picasso’s first Cubist painting “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” in his studio, he had a reaction that could be defined as transcendent or closely mystical in its effect. He didn’t not know how to mentally process the extreme novelty of the artwork, so overwhelmed was he by the paradigm smashing nature the painting represented.Continue reading “Journal Entry: Picasso, Braque, Cubism and the Extreme Psychological Reaction of the UFO Experience”
Studying UFOs: Data Challenges, Facts & Analysis Approach
In conversation a few weeks ago I discussed the analysis plan for Metron Deep Research with a friend of mine. I told him, each analysis, taken as a subset corpus from the Primary repository stands on its own as having the potential to glean interesting insights. But each silo of analysis is likely to beContinue reading “Studying UFOs: Data Challenges, Facts & Analysis Approach”

It behooves citizens to understand the methods the government uses to communicate with the public. Government official communication needs to be on point and on topic, disseminated across the various agencies and officials who engage with the public, mostly via the news media.

We would group such objects in thisContinue reading ““We’re not saying it’s aliens… but it’s Other.””
Memes: An Objective?
In an interview with scientist Peter Reali, a member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies, he mentioned his interest in an eventual pursuit of aeronautics, math and science was spurred by the film, “Rocketship XM” that he viewed in his childhood. It is interesting that you often get answers like this from people whoseContinue reading “Memes: An Objective?”
The Difficulty Analyzing CEIV – Abduction Cases
We have been hesitant to delve into the UFO abduction topic due to the high level of unfactual contamination inherent in this corner of ufology. Abduction cases are subject to large amounts of hoax, alternative causes such as sleep paralysis/night terrors and an absence of physical evidence (analysis of materials removed from the bodies ofContinue reading “The Difficulty Analyzing CEIV – Abduction Cases”
Are We Truly Ready?
On a recent episode of Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, longtime Disclosure advocate Stephen Bassett posits that the Pentagon UFO report scheduled for June will provide enough information to compel congressional hearings. The witnesses consisting of US military service members such as Cmdr. David Fravor and other solid members of our armed forcesContinue reading “Are We Truly Ready?”
Opinion: The Tide is Turning
I recently noted how interest in UFOs is likely to attract those who are living a “life of the mind.” Royal, nation, economic and military duties could qualify as requiring the qualities of a life of the mind so it is not surprising to learn that the recently departed Prince Philip of England had anContinue reading “Opinion: The Tide is Turning”
