Dee has given us a puzzle and I’ve really enjoyed reading the comments. I think we have a course of action (check military blogs, university engineering/metallurgy departments, and a militaria collector) and some good theories about her artifact. Now… for something much larger and stranger…
In 1944, in Acambaro, Mexico, a cache of objects was found. [...]

Class Assignment: this came in from Dee Andrews — a friend and a great blogger. It involves an artifact that is out of place. Let’s see if we can find a good reason for this medal to be in this Texas field.

I have a personal very mysterious piece of what I would call some [...]

Allow me to go into la-la land for a moment. One of the interesting things you run into as you search in the hidden corners of history is how many times you run into giants (already done two columns on them) or very little people. Almost every culture has stories of very small people who, [...]

An hour west of Pittsburgh, just south of Wheeling, West Virginia is the small town of Moundsville. I have visited Moundsville five times so far and plan to return again one day. If you are anywhere in the neighborhood, I highly recommend that you set aside several hours. First, go to the old penitentiary. That [...]

The answer to the question posed by today’s blog title is — frequently. One of the accusations tossed at anyone who investigates this stuff is that they believe only Europeans (i.e. whites) can do great things and that all other races are savages or — comparatively — children. Sadly, there are quite a few people [...]

[By the way, this morning, the 15th of September 2009, almost two weeks after the ACORN videos surfaced and after Fox News did over three dozen stories on them, ABC's Charlie Gibson was asked by the morning program talent at WLS -- Chicago -- why he hadn't done any stories on the scandal. He responded [...]

I’ve had some express astonishment at some of the things I write about. How could such incredible finds and evidence go unmentioned — or even be actively suppressed — by the official writers of the Official Story? Perhaps I should take a short detour from this series to mention a few contemporary examples.
When the Green [...]

About 35 miles south of Albuquerque, halfway down Hidden Mountain, lies a boulder that once was part of the mesa hundreds of feet up the mountain. The boulder broke free and fell sometime between 500 and 2000 years ago. It is in the very center of the photo above. It is marked on maps as [...]

One of the most beautiful and desolate places in this hemisphere is the Big Bend area of Texas. For being such an out of the way place, it has been extensively visited and traveled throughout history. In 1962, Charles Nickles and his wife, Bernice, took some time away from running a seaplane business in Alaska [...]

Get the book. Josh brought so much to Rochester Church and a lot of [...]
