On "Professor Jiang" and his bullshit
I didn't want to believe it at first, because this dude had put out some content that I agreed with and I had gotten swept up in the hype like many other people, and unfortunately at first I didn't do my due diligence. But "Professor Jiang" of the YouTube channel Predictive History is actually full of shit and is a bona fide quack, and that's being very polite. He's stated such nonsense as "there's no concrete evidence for the Holocaust", that "all of Roman history is a lie"

Sludge Report #6: Trump, Strieber, Spielberg, and Area 51 patches
In an interview posted on February 14, 2026, political podcaster Bryan Tyler Cohen asked former President Barack Obama, "Are aliens real?" Obama responded: "They're real, but I haven't seen them, and they're not being kept in Area 51. There's no underground facility, unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the President of the United States." ( https://youtu.be/uI-hgSE5QIw?t=2643 ) Many people took this to be a thinly veiled admission that the US Governme

The UFO/free energy narrative as libertarian fantasy
Many adherents of the UFO coverup/Disclosure/recovered technology story believe that the alien spacecraft supposedly being concealed by the government and/or its aerospace contractor partners possess the key to human emancipation via "free energy". I suggest that this technofantasy is a way of parlaying or at least feigning social conscience with anti-government sentiment that is core to the libertarian world outlook, an outlook that is at least partially held by multitudes o

More on Yankee Blue
Yankee Blue, a purported Air Force disinformation program aimed at its own officers to convince them that the military was working on captured alien technology (or was it a hazing ritual that went too far?) was revealed to the public in a June 2025 Wall Street Journal article and had been reportedly discovered by AARO in its investigations. It has set off a debate about how much of the UFO mythos from the 1980s onwards has been down to a government deception. An important ca

Allan Hendry on CE III cases, Carl Jung, fantasy fulfilment, and the ET-to- paranormal pipeline
Below are excerpts from Allan Hendry's 1979 book, "The UFO Handbook: A Guide to Investigating, Evaluating, and Reporting UFO Sightings" . The first deals with CE III cases and how they might be resolved with an appeal to Jung or a fantasy fulfilment model. Hendry provides an especially fascinating overview of this obscure and sometimes difficult topic. The second excerpt deals with the trajectory or "main sequence", as Hendry calls it (borrowing a term from stellar evolution)

Sludge Report #5: AARO report, the Periphery Hypothesis, a 1965 US Army study, and conspiracism
Some recent items in the world of ufology: AARO released its Historical Record Report Volume 1 reviewing the US government's historical interactions with the UAP/UFO topic, going back to 1945 (the impetus for 1945 as the starting point harks back to the completely debunked Trinity story pushed by Jacques Vallee and Paola Harris in their book "Trinity: The Best Kept Secret" ). An observation in the report was that UFO crash retrieval/reverse-engineering narratives are likely
