Covering topics from missing persons to UFOs and alien abduction, the original Unsolved Mysteries was a smorgasbord of strangeness. This latest version of the show may have a new set, host and theme song, but the topics remain the same.

Integrated into the episode's plot were the infamous 2007 California 'drone' pictures.

I have been contemplating the current state of the conspiracy theory scene for several weeks now. However, I have been unable to effectively collect these thoughts to form any meaningful conclusions.

Robert Downey Jr. as a millionaire playboy turned superhero? I could see that first part for sure, but if you told me ten years ago that Downey would be staring in a kid-friendly blockbuster, I would have scoffed.

I can't seem to catch a break lately. In March, my dream of seeing a UFO was crushed after only a week.

I know I am. I just saw it the other night, in fact. I’m speaking of course about M Night Shyamalan’s 2002 thriller about faith, family, and alien invasion.

They evolved. They rebelled. There are many copies. And they have a plan. It is a simple enough setup, but these opening lines to the Sci Fi Channel's re-imagined Battlestar Galactica deceptively mask the series' intricate space opera plot.

I don't read a whole lot of books. Save for my ever growing collection of comics and graphic novels, my book collection is limited to a select few of science fiction and esoteric novels. My most cherished of these is Frank Herbert's groundbreaking epic, Dune.

I was a UFO witness for not even a measly week. That's right, I think I just identified my unidentified flying object. To be honest, I was never all that confident that what I saw was other-worldly, but still...for that brief week, I was finally able to experience an event that, up until then, I had only read about.

After years of being fascinated by UFOs and writing columns about other people's sightings, I have finally seen one for myself. The experience was every bit as surreal as I expected it would be, but the excitement of the moment soon gave way to a tidal wave of doubt, puzzlement, frustration and eventually depression.

If I haven't been following its production or pre-release hype, it's either because the movie has a great trailer or an interesting premise. Be Kind Rewind just so happened to have both.

Tell me I'm not the only one watching The Sarah Connor Chronicles on Fox. About as big of a Terminator fan as you're likely to find, I had my doubts about it.

Turns out I was in fact seeing double, but two new UFO shows premiering on the same night--with the same title no less--is certainly an unheard of event.

There was a time that I was a vocal supporter of our favorite esoteric subjects.
