The Controversy-Filled Story of the Loch Ness "Stones"

A new Loch Ness-based article from me. But no Nessie! The article is on the controversial "stones" of Loch Ness, not the monsters...

Nightmares, Dreams and Unwanted Visitors

Today's article is on the subject of what can happen when "something" invades your nightmares.

Here are the opening paragraphs:

"If you want weird, you’ve got it. It didn’t get much more bizarre than Saturday morning, October 14, 2017. The night before, I gave a lecture in Fort Worth, Texas for a local group called Satori. It was a good turn-out and among those who turned up was good friend, Kimberly Rackley, who has had her very own run-ins with the Men in Black. During the lecture, I made mention of how certain supernatural things can invade our dreams – and, in the process, turn those same dreams into absolute, mind-warping nightmares. I guess someone – or something – was tuning in, as the following morning I received at Facebook Message a  strange tale of – wait for it – Men in Black and Women in Black who had invaded the dreams of the victims. No, I do not jest.

"The story came from a guy in Florida, and who I had spoken with some time earlier. In my 2016 book, Women in Black, I told the very strange story of 'A Hesitant Believer,' who had a chilling encounter with both a MIB and a WIB a few years earlier. It was a hostility-filled encounter, in which the clearly non-human pair in black put a hex on poor 'AHB,' one which left him extremely ill for a while. On this date in 2017, though, he wanted to tell me of a follow-up encounter, which was no less strange or unsettling."

That's the subject of a new article from me...

January 2020: The Alien Snowfest

A gig I'll be speaking at in January, the Alien SnowFest at Big Bear Lake, California.

I'll be speaking on my recently published book, Flying Saucers from the Kremlin.

Plenty of time to plan!

Here are a few photos from last year's gig:

A Strange Dream and a Weird Man in Black

That's the subject of a new article from me, which you can find at this link, and that starts as follows:

"Today, I’m on a bit of a 'weird dream' kick. By that, I mean there will be another dream-based article after this one. John Winterbauer is a friend of mine who I run into about once a year or so at conferences. At 8:43 a.m. on November 21, 2015 John sent me a text – while clearly in a state of some concern – that revolved around the story of a woman named Terry, who I interviewed a few years back. Her MIB-themed encounter makes for chilling reading. In part, Terry had told me: 'This encounter occurred during the day time thirty five years ago in 1977 at a Winchell’s in Sunnyvale California, I was just sixteen years of age at the time. My best friend and I had just finished our coffee and were heading for the doorway to leave. As we were passing a man seated at one of the tables, he reached out and firmly grabbed my wrist. In that moment my first reaction was to jerk away from his grip, but looking down at him I realized that he was a very old man and I felt in that moment that he was harmless. He was dressed in black wearing an old fashioned hat and suit, his clothing looked like it was from the 1930’s. He was extremely pale, very thin and appeared to be very old, I guessed in his 80’s or 90’s.'

One Book, Two Covers

Now and again, when my books are in the pre-printing stage, me and the publisher will decide on what the cover should look like.

And sometimes, there might be a couple of very different ideas. That was how things went down with my 2018 book, The Black Diary.

It was published last year and covered such subjects as the Black Eyed Children, the Men in Black, the Women in Black, the Hat-Man, and the Shadow People. In other words, a bunch of supernatural creeps.

I like both covers, and we finally settled on the "hoody" cover, but I think the one that was never used - of a Shadow Man sitting in a cool old chair - is a good one too...

UFOs and Michigan

Hanging out at the Michigan UFO Con on September 21, which was a good, fun time!

A New Book on Area 51

If you haven't had enough of the recent Area 51 controversy, Tim Beckley has a new book out on that very subject. Here's the publisher's info on the book:

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

EVERYTHING YOU HAVE EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT AREA 51, DECAYING ALIEN BODIES AND EXOTIC, BACK ENGINEERED, AIRCRAFT. . . . BUT WERE TO SCARED TO ASK.

EXPOSING: WARP DRIVES, DARK ENERGY AND UNKNOWN DIMENSIONS!” IN THE DESERT. – AND FIND OUT ABOUT JOSHUA P. WARREN’S TIME WARP EXPERIENCE.

in the worse case scenario, what would happen if ten thousand or more citizens stormed the gates of Area 51? Would they be arrested or even shot? No trespassing signs monist the public to keep out at all costs – but for what reasons? As a “free nation” we have the right to know what the government and military is doing with our tax dollars. Certainly nothing could be that Top Secret – or could it be?
Insists one of the brightest engineers who has worked inside Area 51 : “Anything you can imagine we already know how to do!...We know how to travel to the stars!...The Air Force has give us a contract to take ET back home!...We have things in the Nevada desert that are alien to your way of thinking far beyond anything you see on Star Trek!”

The public wants to know – have high tech weapons and aircraft been back engineered at Area 51’s Groom late as part of an on going “secret space program? And are such craft being test flown there, side by side with the stored remains of extraterrestrials recovered in the Roswell UFO crash? Though Area 51 has existed since the late 1940s, it has in recent times become the focus of conspiracy theories due to its selectivity and connection to classified aircraft and atomic weapons research.
Conspiracies include: ** The storage, examination and reverse engineering of crashed alien spacecraft, including unknown materials recovered at Roswell and other places, the study of their occupants and the manufacture of vehicles that can travel vast distances in the blink of an eye. –
**Meetings and joint undertakings with Ets. – **The development of weather control. --** The development of time travel and teleportation technology. --**The existence of of a high speed intercontinental underground rail system connect secret bases all over the planet. --**The deployment of our own “Outer Space Troops” to protect the earth from interplanetary invaders, ala a real “Independence Day,” scenario.

Russia and the Majestic 12 Documents

Do I really think that the controversial Majestic 12 documents that kept so many UFO researchers busy in the 1980s, 1990s and 200s were the work of Russian Intelligence? Yes, I do.

That's the subject of several chapters in my recently-published book, Flying Saucers from the Kremlin.

Hakan Blomqvist Reviews "Flying Saucers from the Kremlin"

Hakan Blomqvist reviews my new book, Flying Saucers from the Kremlin.

He says of the book:

"Flying Saucers From the Kremlin is a fascinating survey of the strange world of UFOs, Cold War secrets and spies. Like a good detective Nick Redfern has a knack for discovering new dimensions to the UFO enigma and unearthing unknown documents. Reading his book makes it obvious that there is still much research needed before all the pieces in this confusing puzzle have been found."

My Home: Not a Creepy Castle or a Haunted House!

Probably because of the subjects I write about, people occasionally ask me if I live in some strange, old house of sinister proportions. Er...NO! LOL. It's a shame that I have to destroy the creepy image, but my compact apartment is pretty normal!

The picture in this post was taken in my living-room (which is also a part of the kitchen LOL) last year, when I was interviewed for a show.

M.I.B. TV...

For those who may want to watch, I'll be on Monsters and Mysteries in America, which will broadcast at 3PM tomorrow afternoon, central time, on the Travel Channel. The subject is the real Men in Black. It was originally broadcasted a couple of years ago, but is now getting a rerun, as are most of all the other episodes...

Midnight in the Desert: UFOs and Russian Meddling

Tonight, from midnight to 2AM I'll be speaking on Midnight in the Desert radio about my new book, Flying Saucers from the Kremlin.

Robert Goerman Reviews "The Alien Book"

A great new review from Robert Goerman of my new book, The Alien Book.


The Alien Book: A Guide To Extraterrestrial Beings On Earth
by Nick Redfern
Paperback: 400 pages
Publisher: Visible Ink Press (September 1, 2019)
Review by Robert A. Goerman

Visible Ink Press caters a feast for the mind with The Alien Book: A Guide To Extraterrestrial Beings On Earth by Nick Redfern. Forty-four delicacies are alphabetically presented over the course of four hundred pages. Many entrees are plated beautifully with illustrations. Connoisseurs will appreciate the rich bibliographical references and index. Trust our colleagues at Visible Ink Press to deliver a banquet for the price of a good meal.
The beings, creatures, mysteries, et cetera in this book are indeed alien to the norm of our everyday lives and spatiotemporal reality. Whether they are actually extraterrestrial, that is, originating from some other physical world in our universe, will be a matter of conjecture and debate. Whatever they are, they are here. They are not going away today. Tomorrow doesn't look good either.
Every single entree is seasoned with Redfern's secret blend of horrifying herbs and sinister spices.
Do human crop circle makers attune to a higher intelligence? Sacred geometry and intent are two things that a magician or cabalist needs to create magic. Are these metaphysical artists working with large emblems on a living canvas to rediscover the ancient art of natural magic? Does this automatic drawing summon paranormal forces? Matthew Williams is convinced.
We completely agree with Nick Redfern that Men (and Women) in Black “are clearly not residents of our world.” We also agree with researcher Steve Ash when he wonders if these UFO Silencers with their alleged agenda to scare people away from the subject often have the opposite effect. Maybe the MiB mission is to purposefully highlight and “advertise” high strangeness. Are MiB the “teaser trailers” of the paranormal realm?
We ask ourselves if these MiB and WiB understand their own actions. Are the Men in Black at the mercy of something else? They can appear after a “sighting” or Active Paranormal Event before the witness has told anyone. They relate details known only to the witness. MiB manifestations can appear out of nowhere and vanish in plain sight as if they are inserted and extracted geographically and chronologically into and out of our reality.
Men in Black show signs of interacting with humans on both a physical and psychic level. The consciousness of the witness can be altered and manipulated during the encounter. Meeting the witness in person seems to be their primary goal and conversation appears to be of secondary importance. Maybe the intelligences behind the MiB manifestations are curious as to how lower lifeforms imprisoned by linear time exercise “free will” and make “choices.”
The variety of paranormal phenomena examined in this book is impressive. Redfern writes that “aliens come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. Some are friendly. Others are anything but friendly. They all have one thing in common: the human race has encountered them.”
Chasing UFOs and cryptids with nuts-and-bolts and flesh-and-blood mindsets might be a matter of “barking up the wrong tree.” Yet other researchers take these stands to appear more “scientific.”
While all forty-four entrees are delicious, we did find an occasional forkful that left us feeling frustrated. Redfern refers to Mothman's “glowing, self-illuminating red eyes.” This is certainly not his fault. Our basic knowledge of West Virginia's "Mothman" begins as flawed folklore thanks to author John Keel. The original eyewitness accounts state that the creature has “fiery-red eyes that glow when the lights hit it. There was no glowing about it until the lights hit it” (from Linda Scarberry's handwritten report made a few days after the encounter). “The young men said they saw the creature’s eyes, which glowed red, only when their lights shined on it” (from the Point Pleasant Register, Wednesday, November 16, 1966). Mothman today has evolved into weapons-grade “balonium.”
One thing is certain. Now is the best time to discover Nick Redfern.

My New Book, "The Alien Book," Available Now...

 
My new book, The Alien Book, is now available.

Here's the info from the publisher, Visible Ink Press:

Unmasking the mysteries of alien life on earth! Make mention of the word “alien” and it conjures images of black-eyed, large-headed, dwarfish beings that have come to be known as the Greys. Indeed, Greys have become a staple part of pop-culture, never mind just the field of UFO research. They’ve appeared in Steven Spielberg’s classic 1977 movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. They regularly popped up in The X-Files. And, of course, there are numerous people – all across the world – who claim to have been abducted by the Greys and subjected to intrusive medical experiments. Yet, before the 1950s, the Greys were nowhere in sight.

The Alien Book: A Guide to Extraterrestrial Beings on Earth shows that extraterrestrial life comes in all kinds, appearances, sizes, and bodies. They all have one thing in common, however: the human race has encountered them, and we continue to do so today. Not just dozens, or even hundreds, but thousands of eyewitness experiences have been reported. Covering hundreds of extraterrestrial life forms in more than 40 thematic chapters, this absorbing look at the mysteries of aliens on earth includes …

the Space Brothers: long-haired, very human-looking ETs

the fiendish Reptilians: seven-to-eight-foot-tall predatory shapeshifters

Men in Black beings: extremely pale-skinned, tall, and with huge eyes

Black-eyed Children: anemic-looking kids and possible ET-human hybrids

Bigfoot

the werewolf-like Dogmen

jellyfish-style aliens that soar around the skies of our world

the Shadow People: dangerous humanoids that terrorize people

legendary Nephilim

space-vampires: insect-like aliens that resemble a giant praying mantis

and many, many more!  
The Alien Book investigates the full range of sentient, alien life forms. Some are benign and others downright deadly. Some are small, like a germ or virus that has NASA, creating guidelines to deal with an outbreak of an extraterrestrial germ. Some are big like a giant praying mantis or the biblical Goliath. They all lurk on Earth and in this chilling book!
With more than 120 photos and graphics, this tome is richly illustrated. Its helpful bibliography and extensive index add to its usefulness.

The "Storming Area 51" Stupidity

People have been asking me for my thoughts on the "storming Area 51" stupidity. Here they are.

Feel free to circulate the link/article...

For the record, anyone who thinks that trying to "invade" Area 51 is cool and exciting is a fucking idiot.

You deserve everything you get.
