The Montauk Project: The Base Is Real. The Records Are Gone. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A rusting radar tower on the tip of Long Island became the center of America's wildest conspiracy: time tunnels, a mind-control chair, an army of stolen boys, and a monster summoned in 1983. John separates the Preston Nichols legend from the documented record and then turns to the real programs, from Project PANDORA to MKULTRA, that make the story impossible to walk away from clean.
Skinwalker Ranch: How the DIA Lost Control of What They Found (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2007 a Defense Intelligence Agency physicist stood in a Utah ranch kitchen and watched an impossible machine hover in midair for thirty seconds. The U.S. government's answer was $22 million and a secret program almost nobody was supposed to know existed. This is the real story of Skinwalker Ranch and AAWSAP: the Sherman family, Robert Bigelow's NIDS, the DIA's 38 classified reports on stargates and wormholes, and the "hitchhiker effect" the program concluded followed its own investigators hom

Read excerpt
Between 1978 and 1988, at least seven women were stabbed to death along the New Hampshire-Vermont border, and an eighth. 22-year-old Jane Boroski, seven months pregnant, survived 27 stab wounds and gave police a description of her attacker, his Jeep Wagoneer, and his plate.

Since the 1960s, a division inside the University of Virginia's medical school has quietly built a database of more than 2,500 cases of young children who describe verifiable details of lives they never lived, beginning with founder Ian Stevenson and continuing under Dr. Jim Tucker today. From a Louisiana toddler's nightmares of a burning WWII fighter plane to birthmarks matching the wounds of the deceased, the case files are documented, coded, and still unexplained. This is the story of the str
JFK's Secret Lover Was Murdered. The CIA Burned Her Diary. The FBI Destroyed the File. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In October 1964, ten months after the JFK assassination, Mary Pinchot Meyer, Georgetown painter, ex-wife of a senior CIA officer, and President Kennedy's secret lover, was shot to death on the C&O Canal towpath behind her home. Within hours, the CIA's chief of counterintelligence was inside her locked house hunting for her diary; the diary was later burned, and in 1988 the FBI destroyed its file on her.
