Sludge Report #7: Soviet UFO reports; the futility of the Galileo Project; Garry Nolan running his mouth.
At the September 2025 Congressional UAP hearing, George Knapp talked about his acquisition of Russian documents after the collapse of the Soviet Union, that the Soviets were "trying to build their own UFO" using the information they had acquired through their massive UFO information collection effort via their military, and that the people he had spoken to in Russia were no longer willing to talk to him. (Insinuating that they had been silenced or intimidated to desist from r

Christian demonology, cults, and the sinister undercurrents of the "NHI" narrative
It takes a special kind of narcissistic nut job to go out and try to found their own "new religion." Meet Marshall Vian Summers (the father of Reed Summers, who has recently been doing the rounds in UFO media): https://www.youtube.com/@MarshallVianSummers He heads the New Word of God cult/sect. MVS is a classic cult leader. And now his son is trying to take over the UAP space -- and he's having some initial success with his 2025 Summit and his NewsNation appearance with Ross

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

Jules Evans' important articles on spiritual eugenics
For anyone watching the UFO/paranormal/far-right overlaps metastasizing on Twitter and other social media and which are facilitating political extremism, calls to violence and anti-consensus reality meltdowns, the astonishing articles of Jules Evans dealing with spiritual eugenics - the overlap between spiritualist beliefs, largely of the New Age type, and eugenic-racialist ideologies - on his Philosophy for Life blog are a must read. Evans is a practitioner of the Western e
