M. Night Shyamalan may have done a disservice to many with his movie, The Sixth Sense. Although it's a fine movie, it led a large contingent of parents to wonder... and believe... that their kid was "psychic" and saw "dead people".

Are kids more psychic? Are they more likely to see ghosts?

Our studies have shown this may be the case... judging by the amount of reports we get from parents who's children report seeing them... but one needs to look a little more carefully and understand a basic truth... Kids are (and should be) first and foremost, kids.

First of all, and you may think this is a bad joke or the sign of a horrible "sceptic"... but it's not... a lot of parents saw a young Haley Joel Osment and thought he was a very cute young boy... just like their kid... and the way parents tend to dress their kids in outfits that look great on "the other kid", some parents wanted their kid to be just like the character in the movie... and fought like mad to prove their child had "special qualities" when their progeny told them they saw a ghost. We had two mothers on our message board way back when arguing over who's kid was MORE psychic... One wonders if they really talked to their kids about it first?

Most kids "see things" adults don't... this is a combination of two things.

The first is that, indeed, they have growing imaginations. Again, this seems like a "cop-out", but bear with me...

The second is, as we mature and learn, we are taught to "filter" things in the environment. If you see a strange shadow briefly, as an adult, you ignore it and move on. Nine-times out of ten, the incident is forgotten within seconds as our brains tell us that the incident was very unimportant.

A child, on the other hand, will examine and question the shadow... and want to know more about it... and fixate on it.

Combine this with a (hopefully) encouraged imagination and you may get a "story" about the shadow...

Now, you might have a kid who legitimately does relay things they have seen/experienced... or you may get one who employs a bit of imagination to make things more interesting... not necessarily just for you... but for themselves too.

The best thing a parent can do when they have a child who's "seeing ghosts" is...

#1: Don't over-encourage things.

Children always want to appease and even impress their parents. If a person over-does the encouragement of talking about what the child saw, the child will start telling the parent what they think they want to hear... not what's actually true.

#2: Don't stifle things.

If you completely squash what the child is saying, they will clam up... when what they are wanting to tell you could be very important. If you say Don't tell me about your silly ghosts! I don't believe you and you shouldn't be scared! then they will equate talking about their fears with you to being lectured and told they are wrong.

...a happy medium should be built between the two things above when dealing with a child.

#3: Ask them why they think the "ghosts" are around.

Nine-times out of ten, this will tip you off as to what's happening. If the ghost is "going to get" your child... or is "menacing" the child so they can't be alone... or is making requests that would play into what the child might want (like sleeping with mom and dad,) then you might wish to see if possibly the "ghost" is just the kid's way of getting something he or she wants.

Of course, if the ghost gives a LOT of other information or details, you can approach a group like ours or even relatives, friends, and neighbours to see if maybe there is something to the stories... but remember, if you lead the child in their answers, they are likely to tell you what they think you want to hear.

#4: Before listening to advice, do some homework.

If your kid is only seeing ghosts at home, late at night, in their bedroom and you've experienced nothing in the house, don't assume that "All Children Are Psychic" and send your kid for "testing" through some sort of group or "specialist". Check to see if perhaps, it's the one place.. and one time... and again, DON'T lead your child... let them talk to you naturally.

#5: Ask yourself one question... is the child the only witness to things?

Rule one when looking into a ghost case is find out how many witnesses have experienced something at the same site. Usually, if many people live in a place and only one person is experiencing anything, that's a very rare situation... and the witness, as mean as this sounds, should be examined a touch more closely. Again, this is NOT an indication of "fraud" or "lies", but of simple looking towards every possible reason for "weird things" happening.

Other than these suggestions above, if someone with a child goes outside our website and group for advice, allow me to ABSOLUTELY say the following rules MUST be adhered to...

#1: If the child is experiencing physical symptoms that they or the parent/guardian attribute to some form of the paranormal, PLEASE seek the advice of a medical doctor first. Explain the details of the symptoms in full (you don't have to admit your hypothesis,) and make sure that your child is in good health other than these situations.

#2: If your child is on any medication for any reason, only stop using that medication if a medical doctor tells you so. DO NOT follow any other suggestions... especially from someone online. Seek your doctor's advice first.

#3: If someone tells you they can "teach" you child to be a better psychic OR they can "enhance" things... and want money... DON'T DO IT. No one can legally make that claim and no one can prove psychic abilities in the letter of the law or science. There are groups and people who can offer advice and even help if your child is disturbed or bothered by possible "psychic" ability... and they don't charge... but to be honest, if (and that is a very big "if",) your child has some special talent in these areas, they will grow and adapt with it normally as a rule. Perhaps wait until they are teens and can knuckle down on some good books as opposed to opening your wallet to someone or trusting someone to teach your child anything.

#4: If your child isn't psychic... or doesn't see ghosts... there's no shame in that. Most of us don't.

So please, if you feel your child is being pestered by dead people... or is psychic... please take what I've written to heart.

They may very well be psychic... or they could be lonely and afraid of the dark... or they could just be using a good imagination.

Realistically, all three of the above options are fine... and there's no harm in checking first before making any decisions or proclamations.

While the original Tom Cruise video was a little disturbing to say the least, I found this version to be very cute, and funny!! It is Tom Cat at his finest, and he is definitely being "serious!" LOL!

Now that is one cool cat!

I have been reading that the lavender essential oil relieves tension headaches and migraines. Let me tell you as a migraine sufferer I am usually willing to try anything out in the hopes of some relief! Since I do put a lot of stock into the science of aromatherapy I will be trying this out.

Apparently lavender is also used in calming spells, and for purification rituals and spells.

Being sick has left me with a lot of extra time to surf the net, and check in on some of my old fave internet haunting grounds like Find A Grave.com where I came across the image you see above.

What more can I say beyond Merv was definitely a cool guy! I think I would like to have something equally meaningful on my own tombstone one day...perhaps a ghostie, or alien or two!

Just a quick note to say I am off battling a flu bug. I know ew! Will be back and blogging as soon as my tummy settles, and it stops feeling so damn cold in here.

Hope you are all feeling goodly, and if I don't have a chance to say it tomorrow, have a great weekend!

I have always loved and respected Cher as an entertainer, and more so as a human being. I guess in part I have always been fond of her because she strikes me as a highly spiritual person, and also because I loved her in the 1987 hit The Witches of Eastwick. While the latter is an obvious connection to the paranormal, did you know that her great humanitarian and charitable work was also apparently alluded to in an episode of the TV series X-Files entitled The Post Modern Prometheus? Now you do!

The reason I am writing about Cher today is that I just found out that she will be replacing my fave Canadian diva Celine Dion (she makes me want to move mountains lol!) in las Vegas. That is right Cher will be starting up a new show in May 2008! Cher tickets at Ceasars Palace are apparently already available for fans! How cool is that!

This is such rockin' news! I guess I have to admire anyone that has had such a successful career (spanning 4 decades) and has had great influence on pop culture over the years, but when it is a beautiful, powerful woman like Cherilyn Sarkisian LaPierre it is just that much cooler! I hope that I will get a chance to be able to see her Vegas show in person one day. Sigh.....

The following event occurred in North Bay on Nov. 30th 2004 at 5am approx.

"My husband and I were in bed trying to convince the little one to go back to sleep and as I was rocking her in my arms I happened to look out the window across from our bed and there was this bright light in the shape of a plus sign or diamond , I became focused on it and remember thinking that the north star wasn't usually that bright. I remember thinking it must have been a star because it wasn't moving.I didn't think anything unusual about it other than the intensity of the light(lack of sleep, sick with cold, restless baby were factors )Then, I looked away and almost immediately my husband was in a panic and started freaking out , baby starts crying, and my husband said, Did u see that? did you see that? and i said what the light? and he said yeah, i looked to where i seen the "bright star" and it was gone. It was a clear night and and i could see other stars in the sky where it had been but dim in light by comparison. I had just missed it when i looked away to tend to our baby.my husband who seen this bright diamond light come directly toward us in the sky and lit up our bedroom the silence fell among us and we could feel and hear these rythmetic vibrations (whommm... whommm... whomm) I will now turn the commentary to my husband, Here is what my husband has to say from the time i looked away (I hadn't told him of the "bright star): we had both seen the bright light but my wife was unable to stay focused on it due to rocking the baby back to sleep. I had become fixated on the bright, twinkling object that had now begun moving in a fast 'swirling' motion-like a merry go round with bright lights that were the colour of candles with a purple twinge to it. At this point maybe 5 min. had passed. As my wife looked away the object then dashed toward out house at an exceptionally fast speed, with the bottom of the object looking like a lit up honeycomb with lights. Then it was gone."

Our thanks to the witness for this report. We would like to hear from anyone else whom may have seen something similar at this date and time or location. If you would like to contact us directly you can do so via email at admin at pararesearchers.org or if you would like please do leave use a comment below.

Over the decades I have noted that many of my fellow UFO buffs are also (and not surprisingly so if you think about it) astronomy lovers as well. If you like myself are into astronomy you might want to check out this cool online resource I came across. They have everything from listings for telescopes for sale to news, and reviews.

Astromart.com is designed to be user friendly, and I enjoyed surfing through the site just this very morning. I have found the site to be a great resource, and definitely worth your time to check it out if you are into astronomy.

It was with sadness that I read of the passing of Vampira aka Maila Nurmi on January 10th. Vampira best known for her role in Plan 9 from Outer Space was extremely influential. She has had many black leather lingerie wearing imitators over the years ( I won't mention the obvious name, but by description you should be able to guess who) none however could hold a candle to her in my humble opinion.

Rest in peace Vampira......

I came across the following at INKEDblog.com, and it really touched my heart.

"It's a widely accepted phenomenon. Finding dimes is a message from a loved one from "the other side". I have been finding dimes for five years, since my son died in a horrible car accident. I probably have 200 of them! And they are always in the weirdest places. On the shoulder of the road, in a driveway, etc. I almost always find a dime during a race (I am a runner). I stop to pick them up, and have been almost trampled by runners behind me. I put this dime tat on my wrist, in a spot usually covered by my watch. The sillhouette is my son's instead of FDR. Now whenever I have to remove my watch, I find a dime. It always makes me smile."

How cool is that eh!

We received the following report from a reader over ten years ago now about the old hospital. To this day we continue to receive reports on an average of 2-4 per month from this location.

The author was working as a security officer in the building after a well known College had taken control of the hospital. The author had heard all sorts of odd stories and rumours that they did not believe.

These stories included the rumour that shortly after three of the old buildings were renovated, a couple of students went to explore the tunnels that connected the buildings. After the students had been poking around some of the empty rooms, they went back towards the stairs and heard what sounded like someone whistling. The sound came from behind them, but when they turned around it stopped. As they reached the stairs leading up they heard it again, followed by a cold gust of wind.

Another story that got around involved one of the construction workers who was doing some work in the same tunnels. He was walking through the dim hallway when he rounded a corner and saw a woman walking ahead of him. He thought this was odd since it was late and there was nobody else around. the workman then noticed she was wearing a nurse's outfit. The workman called out to her, but she rounded the corner and disappeared. He followed and now saw her standing with her back to him at the far end of the hallway. There was no way she could moved that far in the time he had lost sight of her. He approached her cautiously and called out again. Slowly the woman turned around and faced him. The hapless workman was terrified to see that she had no face and only a flat blank area where one should have been. He ran from the apparition and refused to go back into the tunnels.
Main Administrative Building
Pre-Renovation (2002)

The author took these stories as "made up to scare people", and had no reservations when he was posted to midnight shift at the renovated buildings.

The first few nights were uneventful, but he did find it to be very unnerving in some areas. (One of the buildings still has the old morgue in the basement which didn't add to the comfort of the author.)

On the third night, the author had locked all the buildings and set the alarm system monitoring equipment when he began to patrol the grounds. While walking by one of the buildings that he had locked earlier, the author thought he saw movement behind one of the windows. After shining a flashlight at the window he saw nothing out of the ordinary. If there was anyone inside, the motion sensors installed in the building would have been tripped off.

The author decided to check the building just to make sure there was no one inside. After turning off the alarm systems, he entered the building. Just before switching on the lights there was heard a loud noise that sounded something like a "whack". The lights came on and the author noted a plastic garbage can lid (the kind that flip around) going around and around as if someone had hit it hard. He contacted the other guard who was stationed at the campus next door and informed him they had an intruder in one of the buildings. The author stayed on the radio with the other guard while they checked the building from top to bottom but found nothing. Every room was vacant and there was only a fire exit which would have sounded an alarm if used. The author checked the garbage can thinking maybe there was a mouse or something, but it was empty having been given a fresh bag from the cleaners.

The author told the other guard that there was no one there and went to leave the building. As the author went to turn off the lights he heard an audible sigh come from the stairway. There was no one there yet the author had the distinct impression of someone standing there staring at them. He shut off the lights and left the building in "one hell of a hurry".

The next day, the author was transferred back to the day shift much to his relief.

Its been some years since the Northeast hosted a major UFO conference, but next month will see a major effort to fill that void. The Atlantic UFO Conference is, as is often the case, the result of a small group of people working very hard to create a quality venue, and hopefully, an annual conference. Its scheduled to take place in Atlantic City, NY the weekend of February 15-17. Budd Hopkins (famed abduction researcher) will be the featured speaker, along with Rich Dolan, and a roster of others. First efforts are always the toughest and this is an event worth supporting. Please visit their website at http://www.atlanticcoastufos.com/speakers.html and consider coming out.

Our thanks to the Intruders Foundation for giving us the heads up on this one!

Over the holidays I was really missing my Dad who passed away in 1999, and now with my birthday rapidly approaching I am missing him again. My Dad always wore gold cufflinks much like these, and I have kept several pairs of his cufflinks in my jewellery box since his passing. Nothing strange has ever occurred with them, but I did come across a story once where a woman would find her own deceased father's ring in the most unusual places around her home whenever she felt very upset or something stressful was occurring within their family. This may sound silly to you, but I have wished that just once the same would happen here with one of those cufflinks...........

One of our readers share their own experiences with meaningful coincedences or otherwise known as synchronicity:

"I experienced a synchronistic event with my ex of 11 yrs. When we met my home phone number and his home phone number were exactly the same, but in reverse......then we found out that our office numbers were also in the exact same numbers, but reversed. Mine (deleted for privacy) ...his (deleted for privacy). I knew that this meant something... a connection....and that connection began a deep life-altering relationship which lasted 11 years. Before I knew of the numbers...the first time we met ...it was like a 'light bulb had switched on' ...like fate...a 'beyond control' sensation. We had a very intense, stormy, and addictive relationship... it took the last 3 yrs. of the relationship to break free.

There were other synchronistic happenings too in that relationship. Before I met my ex I had these thoughts about a name "Jim"...meeting a "Jim"...(I had never had that name in my life, before). So, I sort of 'put that out to the universe,' so to speak. Months later, I met a man (my ex), named "Jim" and his cousin, also named Jim. That was hard to believe at first. After my boyfriend and I had been seeing each other for a while, he introduced me to a close friend,... another "Jim"! It was a long-standing joke. This man actually got closer and became his best friend... and is to this day. They were a close-knit bunch; they were always together, so I had three "Jims" in my life....How's that for synchronicity?"

Our personal thank you to those who have shared their experiences with us.

I had the opportunity to check out the wine of the month clubs website over the weekend, and thought to myself what a great gift idea that keeps on giving long past the holiday. If you know someone who is a wine lover, and you wish to treat them to something a bit different, and special have a look at the site by clicking on the link I have added in for you.

Private Residence - Appleton

It's rare to hear a report that mimics the worst types of hauntings you might find in fictional accounts on TV, in books or the movies, but according to Barabara Smith in Ontario Ghost Stories, a house that fits that bill existed (and may yet exist) in Appleton, Ontario.

According to Ms. Smith, the house was built in the 1830's for a well-to-do husband and wife. Since the home was more room than they needed, the husband invited his sister (referred to as a 'spinster' in the book) to live with them as well. All was well in the home until another sibling, a brother of the husband, passed away orphaning twelve children.

The three in Appleton took these children in, and according to Ms. Smith, the strain of raising twelve children drove the spinster sister to the brink of insanity and possibly brought on a premature death. It's the "spinster" that was assumed to be the ghost that still haunted the place.

This story pacified, if a little strangely, the folks who, in the 1970's picked up this "bargain" in real-estate... complete with it's private cemetery containing seven graves.

Apparently, the owners had noticed things "from the corner of their eye" and had noted an 'air' in the place... especially when it came to their young daughter. They surmised, on hearing the tale, that the ghost of the women drove almost mad by children being thrust into her home was none-to-happy about yet another child coming in... despite this being long after her own demise.

According to Ms. Smith, this made the events somehow tolerable (we note that to many, understanding will ease things as much in some cases as ridding a home of "something",) and they eventually became comfortable in their haunted home.

Many thanks to Ms. Smith and Lone Pine Publishing for allowing us to put up this report.

Well I do not know about what others may be wearing, but I always wear my pair of western boots while out on-site or in the field because they are so darn comfortable! The last thing I want to worry about on investigation is my aching feet.

Cowboy Boots if made well are tough, and comfy at the same time. MetBoots.com carries a great selection of boots that meet or exceed my own expectations like Laredo, and Double-H. If you want a good boot then check them out! Their website is easy to use, plus they accept PayPal, which is my own preference for method of payment with all of my onlne purchases. All orders over $100.00 bux get free shipping, and they get big kudos from shoppers for their excellent customer service.

Hehehe yeah like as if this little fellow looks much like a savage beast ..

I have long felt that music was an integral part to my own healing process. When I am feeling sick or even blue I will often listen to my MP3 player in bed, and this will definitely help in relaxing me, and overall making me feel better.

When I cam across an article in regards to pets enjoying the healing power of music I was not intrigued, but not exactly surprised. Here is a snippet:

The healing power of music has long been established in people. Now a handful of harpists throughout the country are harnessing that power for animals.

Alianna Boone is one of those musicians.

“The structure of the harp is considered to be the most healing instruments next to human voice,” said Boone, an Oregonian who plays for ill family pets and produced a CD "Harp Music to Soothe the Savage Beast."

While anecdotal reports abound, Boone conducted one of the few studies on harp music’s effect on animals. In 2000, she performed for recently hospitalized canines at a Florida veterinary clinic. The hour-long sessions immediately began to lower heart rate, anxiety, and respiration in many cases, she said.

The kid once asked me if I was a vampire, hehehe. No, it was not because my heritage in part traces back to Transylvania, nor was it because of my very pale skin type. Nope, it is because I must sleep in total darkness.

In my boudoir the windows are all covered by blinds. Blinds in my humble opinion offer more reduction of light then curtains do. I don't have just any blinds though, we use Blackout Roman Shades Blinds like the ones currently on sale through Select Blinds. Click on the linky, and you will see what I am talking about.

Select Blinds are the official supplier of the tv show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. They have a terrific website in my opinion that makes shopping online for window treatments easy, and more importantly secure.

If you are like me and prefer sleeping in total darkness definitely check out these blinds for yourself.

The Devil Busted In Connecticut is an article, and interview with the author of the book that tells the true story behind the Devil in Connecticut book, and the side of the story that Carl and David Glatzel Jr. feel the public needs to know about.

For those that are not familiar with the Glatzels here is a news snippet in regards to their lawsuit naming famed Ghost Hunter Lorrainne Warren:

DANBURY, CT: A major lawsuit is pending against world famous ghost-buster Lorraine Warren of Monroe, Connecticut, for her involvement in the authoring of the book, The Devil in Connecticut, originally published by Bantam Books in 1983. The book details the supposed case of demonic possession of an 11 year old boy which lead to the much publicized “demon murder” stabbing death of forty-year old Alan Bono by nineteen year old Arne Cheyenne Johnson in Brookfield, Connecticut in 1981. Carl Glatzel Jr. and David Glatzel of Brookfield are suing Warren, along with author Gerald Brittle, IUniverse.com, the agency who recently republished the book, and the William Morris Agency of New York, who represents both Warren and Brittle. Other charges and defendants are expected to follow.

According to Glatzel’s attorney, Greg T. Nolan of Febbroriello, Conti, and Levy Law Firm of Torrington, Connecticut, both Warren, Brittle, and their agencies are facing several charges including invasion of the right to privacy, libel, and intentional affliction of emotional distress for the supposed false information contained in the book, The Devil in Connecticut, which was reprinted by IUniverse.com in 2006 without the Glatzel’s knowledge or consent. According to Carl Glatzel Jr., who was sixteen at the time, and other members of his family, his younger brother David suffered from a mental illness that Lorraine Warren and her late husband, Ed, who died in August of 2006, diagnosed as “demonic possession.” The Roman Catholic Church, under advice and consult of the Warrens, attempted four minor rites of exorcism on the young boy in 1980 to rid him of “forty-two demons,” all of which were failures. The Warrens also claimed in the book that Carl Jr. was ‘oppressed by demons’ and they used him “as a pawn to instigate violence and arouse skepticism.” The Warrens’ concluded that a ‘Satanic death curse was placed on both the Glatzel boys."

I hope this lawsuit serves as a warning to any potential ghost buster who may take advantage of children as this lawsuit alleges in my opinion.

Currently our colleague, and co-founder Lisa Finlay is on vacation in New Orleans. This super city is well known for its fun ghost tours, and is a must visit for any paranormal enthusiast. It is also a great place for the history buff, and I would personally love to visit the famed Garden District written about in many of the author Anne Rice's novels, Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop and Bar (the oldest they say in the US) and the Voodoo Spiritual Temple.

Actually travel to any major US travel destination is quite good right now with flights to USA being cheap, cheap, in part I think due to the weak US dollar.

If you are planning a trip you might want to check out Dialaflight.com, which is a leading online resource that can help you plan out, and book all aspects of your trip from hotels to flights. Worth checking out for their bargain rates!

And the natural is often far more bizarre than the supernatural....Don't believe me? Read below where I have posted a news snippet about a woman who saw her "dead" husband begging. She actually thought she was seeing his ghost at first...how creepy is that!

Pretoria - A woman from Lindo Park in the east of Pretoria thought she was seeing a ghost when she saw her "dead husband", whom she buried in September last year, begging at a shopping centre in East Lynne on Friday.

Elizabeth Rossouw, 41, said she nearly died of fright.

Her husband, Dawid "Mossie" Rossouw, left home about six years ago. Since then she had seen him only once in a while.

A family friend told her "Mossie is dead" after she had not seen him for quite a while. "I believed it".

Wouldn't believe it

Rossouw and her friend, Neels Bezuidenhout, went to the Pretoria mortuary where they found a badly decomposed body.

"I personally identified the body and was positive that it was my husband. "

"The police took his fingerprints and thus determined it was Mossie."

According to a death certificate he died of double pneumonia on July 13 2007. He was buried in Zandfontein cemetery on September 3.

Rossouw and her son Quinton, 20, were nearly "shocked out of our shoes" when they saw the "deceased" at a shopping centre in East Lynne.

"We were so shocked that we didn't even talk to him. On our way home I asked Quinton to turn back so that we could check whether we had really seen him."

They went home and told Bezuidenhout about the incident.

"He said: 'Bullshit, I personally helped carry his coffin and cover it with earth'."

Had the right ID number

Bezuidenhout said he jumped into his minibus and drove to the shopping centre to investigate. "I asked him who he was and he wrote down Dawid Erasmus 'Mossie' Rossouw. He also wrote down his identity number."

Bezuidenhout and Rossouw blamed the police for not doing their job properly.

They found out on Tuesday they had buried Jacobus Willem Dreyer. "I hope his family read that he had a nice funeral."

Beeld accompanied Rossouw in a search for her husband on Tuesday. He was found in East Lynne. He had cooldrink, a bottle of wine, a blanket, a jacket and a few personal possessions in a plastic bag with him.

Rossouw explained to her husband that she and Bezuidenhout would pick him up on Wednesday morning to have his fingerprints taken at the department of home affairs so that he could be declared alive again.

Police spokesperson captain Prince Mokhabela said the incident would be investigated.

With the recent NPC (National Press Club Press Conference) & Larry King shows still fresh in peoples minds, Exopolitics Denmark is striking while the iron is still hot and (Exopolitics Denmark) has just delivered a copy of, “Out Of The Blue – The Definitive Investigation Of The UFO Phenomenon” to every member of the Danish Parliament.

Of course it's the 5 Year Anniversary edition so the DVD contains updated material, including more military witnesses being interviewed regarding the famous Bentwaters case as well as Former Governor Fife Symington talking about his sighting and experience with the infamous Phoenix lights back in 1997. The, "Out of the Blue” documentary is also now available in 16:9 format, Exopolitics Denmark has talked to producer James Fox and he's said to be pleased with the delivery.

James Fox and journalist Leslie Kean (of The Coalition For Freedom of Information) made the headlines back on November 12th of last year (2007) former Arizona Governor Fife Symington moderated a distinguished panel of former high-ranking government, aviation and military officials from seven countries who discussed encounters with UFOs and official investigations.

Exopolitics Denmark's mission is to lobby the Danish government to pressure other countries to declassify documents and to conduct high-level hearings about classified energy and propulsion systems and a possible extraterrestrial presence. The government employees who are prepared to testify should be given immunity from their security oaths.
