Columnist Leonard David of Space.com has written a very detailed article on the hunt for documents relating to the Kecksburg, Pennsylvania Crash of 1965.

As you may recall, NASA was filed on by the Coalition for Freedom of Information to obtain documents on the incident in 2002. The Coalition won the lawsuit and in October 2007, NASA started releasing these documents, or at least some of them, and finally concluded the release this year.

The Coalition accused NASA of delaying their hunt, and are not at all satisfied with what they received, except that they were able to confirm that NASA does investigate objects that come from outer space. There were, according to the Coalition, documents missing and even ruined.

Do you believe that NASA was forthcoming with their documents? Do you trust our government’s response was truthful?

ALIENS are already here on Earth, scientists claimed yesterday.

The experts are working on deciphering a complex set of symbols sent from space.

They claim the aliens are in the process of answering 30 questions that the “Earthling” scientists have questioned them.

Lachezar Filipov, deputy director of the Space Research Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, confirmed the bizarre research was under way.

His team is studying 150 crop circles from around the world which they believe answer questions beamed into outer space. He said: “Aliens are currently all around us, and are watching us all the time.

“They are not hostile towards us, rather, they want to help us, but we have not grown enough in order to establish direct contact with them.”

But when that comes, humans will contact the extraterrestrials through the power of thought, he added.

He said: “The human race is certainly going to have direct contact with the aliens in the next 10 to 15 years.

“Extraterrestrials are critical of the people’s amoral behaviour, referring to humans’ interference in nature.”

On a recent episode of Fringe (Season 2, Episode 6), a shadow entity attacks unwitting victims and turns them into piles of dust (some very excellent effects here). In this case, the shadowman is an entity from outer space that made its way to earth via a cosmonaut, and it feeds on the trace amounts of radiation people carry in their bodies.

As you’ve no doubt read in this site’s Your Right Tales, many people claim to have had sightings or encounters with shadow people. Most of the time they are seen as harmless if unnerving fleeting shadows out of the corner of one’s eye. They certainly have not been blamed for disintegrating folks into gray powder. There have been reports, but, of some shadow people being more than just shadows — having physical effects and even attacking. Check out these tales:

• Paralyzing Shadow
• Shadow Person Attack
• Scariest Shadow People Encounters

Some suspect that Fringe might have it right — that shadow people are extraterrestrial. What do you reckon?
