In 1974, Carl Higdon met a strange, floating humanoid in the woods, and was taken inside a strange see-through structure, only to be literally dropped back down to Earth. Higdon’s case is a classic UFO abduction, but it may also shed light on other unexplained disappearances and deaths around the world.Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/kP8eCbWHg-oSupport us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/user?u=3375417Donate on Paypal: https://ThinkAnomalous.com/support.htmlWebsite: https://ThinkAnomalous.comFull transcript & sources: https://ThinkAnomalous.com/carl-higdon.htmlFacebook: https://facebook.com/ThinkAnomalousTwitter: https://twitter.com/Think_AnomalousInstagram: https://instagram.com/Think.AnomalousSources:Bourke, Frank. “I was kidnapped by a UFO bubble.” Lafayette National Star.

Though western science has long rejected the idea of an immaterial self, modern research into near-death experiences, or NDEs, has now proven that many occur after the point of bodily death, and thus cannot be produced in the brain. Whether they are evidence of the soul, or some other undiscovered phenomenon, NDEs have put Western materialist scientists on the defensive, and led many researchers to embrace bold new theories of consciousness.Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/user?u=3375417Donate on Paypal: https://ThinkAnomalous.com/support.htmlWebsite: https://ThinkAnomalous.comFull transcript & audio: https://ThinkAnomalous.com/near-death-experiences.htmlFacebook: https://facebook.com/ThinkAnomalousTwitter: https://twitter.com/Think_AnomalousInstagram: https://instagram.com/Think.AnomalousCheck out more from our illustrator, V.R.

The so-called "Zaragoza Goblin," a voice that emanated from the walls of a Spanish apartment complex in 1934 , is a rare example of an anomalous entity encounter that seems to have involved no physical entity at all. The case provides strong evidence that consciousness is capable of existing outside the body, and makes us wonder whether other "supernatural" entities like angels and aliens are really anchored to their physical bodies at all.

Many of the "classic" cases of UFO and entity encounters come from the United States, leading debunkers to dismiss the UFO phenomenon as a creation of the American media. But some of the most fantastic and puzzling abductions occurred in Italy, to a security guard named Piero Fortunato Zanfretta. The abductions were thoroughly documented by his employer, the Italian military police, and a journalist named Rino DiStefano, and yet the details are almost too bizarre to believe. The beings that Zanfretta encountered are unique in the UFO literature, but their behaviours are not entirely unfamiliar in the longer history of anomalous encounters...
CORRECTION: Marzano, the location of the first abduction, is not in Lombardy, but in Marzano di Torriglia, near Genoa, in the vale of river Bisagno.

As hard as it is to imagine now, there was once a time when UFOs were given serious, front-page coverage in US national news, and when the Air Force would hold press conferences at the Pentagon to brief the public on what it knew. All of this began to change after a highly-publicized pair of UFO sightings over the nation's capitol in the summer of 1952. Despite the Air Forces' attempts, these events remain one of Project Blue Book's hardest cases to dismiss.

By popular request, I did my next case review on the famous UFO landing in Voronezh, Russia. The story is spectacular in its own right, and I tried to do it justice in my retelling, but I've also chosen to use it as another example of the way in which modern encounters with "aliens" resemble centuries-old encounters with fairies and goblins and the like. Here I've tried to compare the being's paralyzing tube with the fairy wands and other hand-held devices of supposedly mythical peoples. Coincidence?

Over the past 45 years, researchers have amassed a sizable body of literature attesting to the human ability to "sense" things in the future. The data are controversial, but they've proven tough to explain as anything but evidence that there's a lot more to consciousness than we'd previously assumed.

In English-language media, we're accustomed to using the terms, "UFO" and "Alien" interchangeably. While this may seem harmless enough, it is detrimental to a focused, data-conscious debate on UFOs. Here is why.

While it's commonly dismissed as a hoax, the famous Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film of 1967 is in fact one of the greatest pieces of evidence in the hunt for the Sasquatch. It has withstood decades of scientific scrutiny, and even come to define the image of the Bigfoot in the public imagination.

The Sandown “ghost clown” is a name assigned to a bizarre entity seen by two British children on the Isle of Wight in 1973. It is known for its highly unusual appearance, which may actually be an important clue in understanding anomalous entity encounters, including those with so-called “aliens.”

For 8 months in 1896 and 1897, people in the US and Canada saw mysterious lights in the sky, and sometimes, spectacular, winged airships and dirigibles. The airships are early examples of UFOs, after the "wonders" of ancient times, and before the modern mythology of extraterrestrial spacecraft dominated UFO discourse.

Several weeks before Kenneth Arnold's famous sighting, two men from Washington state claimed to have encountered several flying saucers on Maury Island, and later, a Man in Black. The incident is commonly dismissed as a hoax, but a few details of the case point to something more sinister than a mere prank...

Kenneth's Arnold's famous sighting in 1947 has often been called the "first" UFO sighting in history. While this is far from the truth, the reaction from the US government, and society at large, makes Arnold's encounter a turning point in the history of UFOs.

When J. Allen Hynek was first hired by the US Air Force to consult on their UFO research, he was reluctantly complicit in their debunking agenda. But as he investigated more and more baffling cases, he eventually changed his mind on the UFO question, and led the world in the effort to create a true science of UFOs.

In the mid seventeenth century, a woman in Pavia, Italy, was hounded in the night by a soft, seductive voice and a strange, small man. Hieronyma's experiences, though certainly unique, are also not unlike the experiences of those who suffer from modern-day sleep paralysis, or alien abductions.

In 1991, two British men shocked the world when they confessed to hoaxing all the famous crop circles found in England in recent years. However, a detailed examination of their claims shows that these men could not possibly have started the crop circle phenomenon, and probably had nothing to do with the famous circles in Wiltshire, England, or anywhere else.

By 1952, flying saucers had become a familiar topic to the American public. However, the case of the "flatwoods monster" was among the first widely-publicized UFO sightings to also involve an "alien" being, and it preceded a rise in anomalous entity encounters around the world.

The apparitions at Fatima made waves in the Christian community, but examined in a different light, they could hold the same significance for ufologists, mystics, and modern consciousness researchers. Not only are the apparitions incredibly well attested to - with upwards of 70,000 witnessing the events’ culmination in October 1917 - but they are some of the most fantastical on record, blurring the lines between angels and aliens, miracles and mysticism.
CORRECTION The video states that the children first saw the lady at the mouth of the Cave of St. Irene. This is incorrect, and there is no such cave. They saw her in a field called the Cova da Iria.

After the death of his abusive grandfather, 21-year-old Donnie Decker experienced a range of hostile anomalous phenomena that culminated in him gaining the power to make it rain indoors. Donnie's case boasts an impressive number of first-hand witnesses, and it suggests an important link between emotional trauma and the experience of the unexplained.

Charles Fort was an early-twentieth-century thinker and writer often credited with "inventing" the supernatural, or the paranormal, by creating a neutral category for anomalous observations, discoveries, and experiences. Before Charles Fort, anomalies were typically explained away, or else absorbed into pre-existing explanatory frameworks like religion and mythology. Thanks to his efforts, they can now be set aside for further research, even if they're still often ignored in mainstream science.

After 20 years of sub-par UFO research, the US Air Force finally agreed to hand over the responsibility for investigating UFOs to the scientific community. The result was the controversial Condon Report, which advised against the continued study of the UFO phenomenon, and struck a death blow to the fledgling field of ufology.

Many now believe that the crop circle phenomenon has all been explained as an elaborate hoax, but there is a long history of crop circle science that demonstrates that the strange formations could not have been laid by human hands.

The Ark of the Covenant, the sacred vessel of the ten commandments and the mobile sanctuary of the spirit of God, is frequently alluded to in the old testament. According to scripture, it dried up rivers, destroyed city walls, and killed people en masse. Then, it simply vanished. In this video, we explore the history of the ark, and look at a few theories to account for its disappearance as well as its whereabouts today.

The "abduction" of Jacob Jacobsson is a little-known case popularized in "Wonders in the Sky," by Vallee and Aubeck in 2009. Based on an eighteenth-century manuscript from Lonmora, Sweden, the story bears a striking resemblance to modern tales of alien abduction, and causes us to question the extraterrestrial origin of these bedroom invaders.

On the afternoon of November 7, 2006, a UFO was spotted at Chicago’s O'Hare Airport in Illinois, USA.The UFO sighting at O’Hare Airport in Chicago, IL, is a recent reminder that mass UFO sightings still occur, and that in America, at least, witnesses and investigators still get stonewalled by all authorities in their search for explanations. The case also gives us reason to believe that there would be many more cases known to the public if airlines and regulatory agencies were more transparent with the evidence.Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/user?u=3375417Donate on Paypal: https://ThinkAnomalous.com/support.htmlWebsite: https://ThinkAnomalous.comFull transcript & sources: https://ThinkAnomalous.com/ohare-airport-ufo.htmlWatch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/DWiHPQbv5EsFacebook: https://facebook.com/ThinkAnomalousTwitter: https://twitter.com/Think_AnomalousInstagram: https://instagram.com/Think.AnomalousCheck out more from our illustrator, V.R.

In 2014, two Dutch students on a trip to Panama went missing under highly unusual circumstances, only to have some of their remains appear weeks later, scattered miles from their last known location.

The Bothell House is the site of an alleged haunting in Bothell, Washington. Between 2012 and 2016, Keith Linder and his girlfriend at the time experienced a wide range of anomalous activity in the house that became increasingly frequent and extremely hostile. The house has now been thoroughly researched by a variety of investigators, who have together documented hundreds of sounds, light anomalies, voice recordings, and other, far more sinister, phenomena. The case stands out for the sheer quantity of occurrences, and for the lines it blurs between different types of hauntings, poltergeists, and even apparitions.Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/user?u=3375417Donate on Paypal: https://ThinkAnomalous.com/support.htmlWatch video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2Eo3xdZa7JUWebsite: https://ThinkAnomalous.comFull transcript & sources: https://ThinkAnomalous.com/Bothell-House-Haunting.htmlFacebook: https://facebook.com/ThinkAnomalousTwitter: https://twitter.com/Think_AnomalousInstagram: https://instagram.com/Think.AnomalousCheck out more from our illustrator, V.R.

Four years before the more famous Hill Abduction, a Brazilian farmer had a hair-raising experience that is eerily reminiscent of the “alien abduction” stories brought to light in the 1980s and 90s. His case is now widely considered the first alien abduction of the post-war era, and the first to imply an agenda of alien-human hybridization.

UFO sightings amongst airline pilots are relatively common, but the sightings of Japan Airlines flight 1628 on November 17, 1986 are notable for the wealth of supporting evidence. An official FAA investigation revealed cockpit recordings, radar data, and eyewitness interviews that all attest to a truly remarkable encounter, and an official government cover-up.

While the “mothman” has become a fixture of paranormal horror since it was adapted to film in 2002, the stories it was based on were actually far stranger than anything portrayed on screen. The wide range of events that occurred in Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966 and 1967 remain some of the most perplexing anomalous events in history, and they implore us to consider how they all might be related.

You may have heard reference to a story told by the 13th-century cleric, Gervase of Tilbury, about a flying ship dropping its anchor in a churchyard, and the ensuing struggle between one of its sailors and the assembled crowd. There are actually many different versions of this story dating back to the middle of the 8th century CE, and together, they tell us a great deal about Medieval cosmology, and they even shed light on the modern UFO phenomenon.

Though we tend to think of "miraculous" healings as the domain of religious miracle workers, a number of UFO witnesses claim to have been spontaneously healed during or after their sightings. By examining these kinds of anomalous effects on witnesses, we probably won't learn where UFOs come from, but we may explain what they are doing here.

A number of fans have asked me my opinion on the recent news around UFOs, and the apparent moves towards UFO disclosure on the part of the US government. I have been extremely skeptical of this “disclosure” campaign from the start, and I think it’s important that students of ufology take a critical look at these developments, and challenge some of the narratives presented. To this end, I’ve decided to do a two-part series on the disclosure campaigns of the 21st century, and how they’re not what they appear to be.
This is the first of these videos, covering the work of Tom DeLonge and To The Stars Academy, as well as the revelation of the AATIP program.
Special thanks to Robbie Graham for reviewing an earlier draft of this narration. Robbie is an indispensable voice in ufology, and he currently runs August Night Books, which has published some excellent titles in anomalistics.

While the US government created the world's first government office to address the UFO question only after Kenneth Arnold's famous sighting in the summer of 1947, it was far from the first time that US officials had been forced to contend with UFO reports. Throughout the Second World War, Allied and German pilots frequently encountered fast-moving balls of light and other strange phenomena over Europe, the Mediterranean, and the South Pacific. The large volume of reports make it abundantly clear that the UFO phenomenon preceded the summer of the flying saucer, and suggest that the US government may have known more than they let on in the wake of Arnold's sighting.

There is probably no case of alien abduction more widely known than that of Travis Walton, a 22-year-old logger from Snowflake, AZ. Travis's case includes a number of details that strongly suggest at the involvement of extraterrestrial beings; but it also has some similarities to older accounts of "abduction" in other times and places.

The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt is the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world to survive to the present day, and it remains a marvel of design and execution. Despite this, however, we know very little about its origins, or the purpose of its many peculiar features. Egyptologists generally agree that it was built as a Pharaoh’s tomb, but specialists from a variety of different disciplines have shown it to be vastly more complex than other pyramids, and very different from other tombs, suggesting that it may have had some other function altogether.

Long dismissed as hallucinations, the beings that people see on DMT are attracting more and more scientific interest. These beings, and the ways that they behave, are strikingly similar to those encountered by "alien" abductees, and even biblical prophets.

People today think of fairies as little winged pixie girls, but this is not how those who saw them in history typically described them. The Reverend Robert Kirk wrote a treatise on the fairy people as they were known in the Scottish lowlands, and offers us a more evidence-based description of these elusive creatures.

There are many UFO sightings that involve large groups of witnesses. Interestingly, however, even where there is a consensus on a few core claims, witnesses don't always agree on some of the most important details of the story. The 60-some children that witnessed a UFO event in 1994 all saw things a little differently, in a way that highlights just how bizarre the phenomenon can be.

For two years, Jackie Hernandez was tormented by a variety of anomalous activity that persisted after two moves, and attached itself to those she knew. Also known as the San Pedro Haunting, her case is remarkable for the sheer number of anomalous events, but it's also an interesting case study in the blurred lines between hauntings and poltergeists.

While many UFO sightings may appear to be random, isolated events, others are actually quite patterned - almost predictable. The Hudson Valley sightings came in waves, frequently recurring in the same few areas north of New York City. After years of sightings, it became clear that these sightings followed a few strange, but discernible patterns that seem to suggest that there is some logic to the UFO phenomenon.

Harriet Tubman is well known for her daring rescues of black slaves in the Eastern United States, but less well known are the remarkable abilities that she possessed that made these rescues possible. A review of the many anomalous events in Tubman's life suggests that she may have mastered the same psi abilities as psychics and remote viewers today, even without training.

There is a pervasive stereotype that only hillbillies from the southern United States see UFOs and aliens - or "Little Green Men." While this stereotype is patently false, it was not created out of thin air. Rather, the association between uneducated southerners and UFO landings, as well as the popularity of the term "Little Green Men," both come from a highly influential case from rural Kentucky in 1955.

Ever wonder where the banner image on our website and social media pages comes from? It's a composite image based mostly from a 16th-century woodcut depicting a UFO sighting over Nuremberg, in modern-day Germany. As well as producing a captivating illustration, the sighting is a good example of an early-modern "wonder-sign," long before the term UFO ever entered the lexicon, and before anyone suspected extraterrestrial culprits.

An ancient site in Turkey dated to nearly 10,000 BCE is overturning a lot of old assumptions in history and archaeology. The excavation of Göbekli Tepe has already rewritten the story on the origins of civilization, and it's only just beginning.
