Recently during a press briefing regarding the Large Hadron Collider beneath Geneva, Sergio Bertolucci, a physics theorist and Director of Research and Scientific Computing at CERN told reporters, “Out of this door might come something, or we might send something through it.” What “door” does Bertolucci refer to? Believe it or not, he is actually referencing a potential rift in space-time that could result from experimentation with the LHC, and warns that unspecified “somethings” could indeed interact with this realm as a result of experiments with the massive machine.

“We’re hoping to see supersymmetry and extra dimensions,” said Bertolucci, who also postulates that, though the discovery would be ground-breaking, the event he warns of would be rather small, if noticeable. “Of course, after this tiny moment the door would again shut, bringing us back to our ‘normal’ four dimensional world … It would be a major leap in our vision of Nature, although of no practical use (for the time being, at least). And of course, no risk to the stability of our world.”

That’s reassuring… until Mothman comes through the dimensional doorway with a legion of Mothmen to take over Earth in the name of King Hybreed Manthuzlar IIV. Only time will tell, I suppose.

A Pennsylvania man now says he can mark seeing an alien off his bucket list, as reported at the MUFON UFO Stalker live event feed. The strange story involves not one, but three weird entities: an amorphous glowing ball of plasma, a H.G. Wells-esque “tripod” creature, and a fractal mantoid the likes of something from one of Terence McKenna’s DMT trips (those familiar with psychedelic literature and, more specifically, modern pharmacology, may know that there is a greater potential link between all three of these creatures… but I get ahead of myself, as usual).

The report reads as follows:

On 8-15-2009 at 2:45am I was buzzed for about 5 seconds by a 4 foot round luminescent orb on the roof of the building that I work in, in Philadelphia . It materialized about a foot away from me, blocking my way and making a buzzing sound, it then took off and dematerialized in approximately a 6 feet distance. At this time I decided to turn around and leave the roof. I found a photo of the object here.

Famous inventor Nikola Tesla was known for the massive wealth of knowledge he produced in his lifetime with regard to the understanding of electricity. Even today, many still believe that Tesla probably had a potential for knowledge of how electricity and radio work that could rival the best experts living now. But is there evidence that Tesla involved himself in other, even stranger studies?

To describe anything Tesla might have done as “strange” isn’t too great a stride for most, seeing as how conspiracies involving Tesla’s involvement with the infamous Philadelphia Experiment, or even rumors of “death rays” and electric spacecraft have proliferated for decades. With the majority of his notes and work tucked away nicely at the bottom of some unknown Federal file cabinet, it is likely that we’ll never know the complete story. However, as indicated in the Collier’s Weekly periodical in March of 1901, it seems we were indeed made privy to at least one interesting facet of his work which begs further explanation: communication with other planets.

Tesla’s interview reads as follows:

Recently while pondering strange objects of esoterica, I came across a historical article regarding Elizabeth Bathory, the Hungarian “Blood Countess”, whose grisly crimes against virgin peasant girls (the blood of which she believed could be used to preserve her own youth) secured her the title of the most prolific female serial-killer in history. Whether it be due to the fact that Bathory abducted her victims by the cover of night, or perhaps for some other less-obvious reason, somehow I began brainstorming what kinds of parallels might exist between modern Ufology and Vampires (obviously referencing the fact that at least most UFO abductions are reported at night, and often in people’s homes, much like vampires entering a maiden’s window under the cover of darkness). Initially, I only managed to muster the following points of parallel:

1) Vampires, much like aliens, are indeed known for abducting their victims

2) Vampires and aliens both tend to prefer operations during the cover of darkness

3) Alien-like creatures often associated with UFO sightings (like the Mothman of Point Pleasant, West Virginia) often bear similarities to vampires

4) Chupacabras exhibit rather vampiric traits, and are often associated with UFOs

Along these lines, I was reminded of a bizarre “vampire” creature recently reported by Scott Corrales, over at his website Inexplicata, which is normally devoted to the study of Latin American Ufology. However, Corrales shares at his blog recent encounters with a creature described as a “Man Bat” seen in the vicinity of Cimbraplay, near Saenz Guerrero, Chihuahua, said to have been linked to the deaths of  several sheep at three different ranches. According to sources, all the creatures had been slain in the same fashion: a large slash to the neck, as well as wounds on part of their tails.
