​I've turned many of my Twitter threads about Anjali into third-density mini-blogs across two pages - a more readable format and a backup in case Twitter self-implodes. If you're new to the doomed Expedition of the Millennium and the coming Anjapocalypse, these articles will give you an idea of how the story unfolded. The pages take a while to load, but you'll learn...
  • How hypnoregression messes you up
  • How to take baby steps towards starting a doomsday cult
  • How to fail to mount an expedition to collect irrefutable proof of ET in a mountain base
  • How Whitley Strieber wishes he'd never gotten involved
  • How to pretend to sue someone by making up stuff they never said
  • How to involve innocent parties in your delusion
  • How to insist you are completely immune to high-potency THC cannabis resin despite three eyewitnesses insisting you were well and truly f**ked up.
  • How to mistake a small alcove in a rock for a 200-yard tunnel with an alien base at the end of it
  • Orion is a planet

“It was a hoax” - Steve Pierce knows the truth

PictureSteve Pierce was 17 years old in 1975 when he fell under suspicion of covering up Travis Walton's murder
Steve Pierce is one of the seven witnesses to Travis Walton’s 1975 UFO and “abduction”. I’ve been corresponding with him since July 2021. It’s been a rocky road. Over time, he’s opened up about doubts that he doesn't voice on podcasts. His thoughts have shifted.

A reflexive reaction from many experiencers is to assume skeptics are accusing them of lying. I have always told Steve I think he was duped, and he has always struck me as someone very concerned with getting the details right. He was initially angry with me for explaining the many indications this incident was a hoax, and even when we came to a friendlier understanding he has been reluctant to consider the possibility.

Even so, he did express doubts about parts of the story. He considers Travis to be a liar and “the kind of guy who went to a party and everyone else left.” He says Mike never paid him, and told lies about him that ended up in Travis's book and which Travis refuses to correct. These things may seem trivial in the grand scheme of things, but they're important to him.
 
A few days ago, Steve wrote to me: “It was a hoax.

LARPing on Reddit

Picture
While Charlie Wiser does not use any alts on social media, it's up to others to decide whether or not they want or need alts. Not my business.

However, when someone is deliberately exploiting known weaknesses to manipulate others in a community (which I'll loosely define as a group using a platform to discuss a topic - #ufotwitter on Twitter, UFO-related subreddits, etc.), I have thoughts about it, especially if that user has gone one step further and attempted to gain people's trust with a personal touch - in DMs.

The stupidest UFO photo in Australia

Picture

I've written before about the little red flag in a case that can't be reconciled with witness statements being true. Once that nugget of truth is forgotten, and the hoax is given free rein, laziness sets in. The original research and documentation are forgotten in favor of the re-re-repeated myth.

What if the answer was back there at the start all along?

When the nugget comes to light, the case falls apart. When the gods are smiling, that nugget is also hilarious.

Mike Rogers' ex-wife: A new perspective

Picture

Travis Walton is one of the world’s most famous alien abductees. His story has survived largely because of the six witnesses who have never recanted, including logging crew boss Mike Rogers.

Recently I corresponded with Mike’s ex-wife “K”. In 1975 she and Mike were married with four very young daughters and living in Snowflake AZ.

The Skinny on Bob

​​This post is based on my Skinny Bob tweets analyzing the Skinny Bob footage, based on the work done by Reddit users (mostly on r/SkinnyBob). My particular interest is the second video where I believe the evidence shows a modified Mars Attacks puppet was probably used.

Don't fear phantoms

Picture
Some of the experiences reported by sufferers of sleep paralysis. None of these events are recorded by observers in the sleep laboratory. They are not real.
Sleep paralysis has been offered as an explanation for some alien abduction experiences (I first read about it from Carl Sagan but I'm sure he wasn't the first), and the evidence shows the explanation is a good one. ​

How to hoax your hoax confession

Picture
When I created this site, I included Travis Walton's story as a classic alien abduction story. I wasn't satisfied with Philip Klass's interpretation that all the men were lying. His 1978 interviews with Steve Pierce didn't suggest that, and if all were complicit there would've been no need to create an actual flying saucer at all. They could've simply invented their story on the job.

I preferred the explanation first proposed in 1976 by Raymond E. Fowler, that the hoax was perpetrated by two men (Travis and Mike Rogers) on the other five, using a paper balloon or similar model.
