Classified Docs Reveal UK Tried to Stop Worldwide UFO Investigation

When Britain released 8,500 pages of previously classified UFO files last week, one set of key documents quickly caught my attention and had a profound effect on me as it took me back in time 33 years. The file includes many pages detailing the British government's attempt in 1978 to derail the country of Grenada's plan to convince the United Nations to form a special UFO study committee. The reason these documents resonated so strongly with me is because I'm the one who produced Grenada's UFO presentation at the U.N. all those years ago.

Michelle Obama's Lavish Spain Vacation Sparking Criticism

While first lady Michelle Obama continues sightseeing and shopping in southern Spain with her daughter Sasha and friends as "private" tourists, questions are being raised about the cost to taxpayers and whether a lavish vacation sends the right message during tough economic times in the United States. Mrs. Obama also has a "public" part of the vacation, but it's hardly heavy lifting and without any formal agenda.

UFOs at the UN -- A Close Encounter

(June 25) -- Will the European Union disclose any UFO files it might have, as one lawmaker called for several days ago, perhaps bringing new facts to a field long relegated by government officials as science fiction? Maybe, but this isn't the first time world leaders have had a close encounter with UFOs.
