April 16

Following the Wednesday night, April 13, 2011, presentation of the SyFy Channel television program "Fact or Faked: The Paranormal Files," Lon Strickler, who has reported on the case extensively and from the beginning, comes to the defense of David Eckhart and his wife who have attempted to document strange intrusions into their home by unknown entities that have been filmed by the Eckharts. "Fact or Faked" appears to have decided the incidents were hoaxed by David Eckhart, and Strickler takes exception to the show's pronouncements. In this article, Strickler assembles links to all the Eckhart information presented at Phantoms & Monsters over the past three years. What do you think has been happening in the "dream home" of David and Jean Eckhart? Elsewhere, tales of politicians who claim encounters with the unknown seem to have proliferated since Jimmy Carter spotted Venus, and Shawn Lindseth has the report of one who's a multimillionaire in his own right, a chess genius, and an alien abductee claimant, as reported in Awesome or Off-Putting: Russian Politician Abducted Via Invisible-ish Alien Tube. Would a man smart enough to have accomplished all Kirsan Nikolayevich Ilyumzhinov, President of the Republic of Kalmykia, has accomplished make up a tale of alien abduction? Meanwhile, Paul Kimble assembles some archived pages of UFO history and some videos as he examines the record of those people who reported contact with aliens before the abduction era began, and Kimball uses the history of these early extraterrestrial/human interactions to explain Why The Contactees Still Matter.

Several California witnesses and a Missouri witness have reported UFOs with contrails similar to those created by the exhaust of a high-flying jet. The California incidents were reported to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) on April 14, 2011, and the Missouri incident took place on April 11, 2011. And two MUFON reports from eyewitnesses near Washington, DC, tell of an April 14, 2011, sighting in Military Jets Follow Virginia UFO. Meanwhile, Hawke's Bay in New Zealand has played host to anomalous aerial objects through the years, as evidenced in the New Zealand Defence Force files, recently released and covered in UFOs in the Bay: The Files and UFOs in the Bay: Flying Saucer Panic of 1952. Also, Paul Kimball has reassessed his opinion of a man integral to the early days of Canada's UFO research program, presenting correspondence between America's Donald H. Keyhoe and the Canadian expert in question in Reassessing Wilbert Smith. Elsewhere, the recent revelation of 1950s era UFO reports and other formerly embargoed information from the Federal Bureau of Investigations coughs up more strange documentation, as seen with images and a video link in FBI Vault Cattle Mutilation Documents: Bizarre Details of 1970′s Cattle Mutilation Wave.

The tales of the creature first encountered, by all reports, in the vicinity of Point Pleasant, WV, and referred to as "Mothman" by most everyone, takes on a slightly weirder aspect in Micah Hanks' recounting of the encounters reported in that area during the same late 1960s time period. Were sightings of Bigfoot taking place around Point Pleasant at the same time Mothman appeared? And another winged weirdie has been reported far from West Virginia, as Lon Strickler relates in the report of The LaCrosse, Wisconsin Man-Bat. Elsewhere, the most famous of all Mothman investigators was the author of The Mothman Prophecies, and in 1980 the late author was interviewed by a post-prime time television icon, as can be seen through a link provided in David Letterman Interviews John Keel. Meanwhile, Loren Coleman has footage of last weekend's John Green tribute event in British Columbia, as seen in First Sasquatch Summit Videos.
