Just fifty years ago, on February 20, 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower mysteriously disappeared. At first, the Associated Press even released a story that he had died. A few minutes later, it was changed to a visit to the dentist. But that story wasn’t true. Not even the dentist he allegedly visited would say he’d actually been there, and there is no record of the visit in the Eisenhower Library. In 1999, Whitley Strieber wrote a 43 page outline of a possible work of speculative fiction about what happened. Strong publisher prejudice against the UFO subject meant that the novel was never bought by a publishing house, but the outline remains as a gripping study of what might have been.read more

The Evening Herald in Plymouth, England is calling this photo the best picture of a UFO ever taken. There have also been other excellent photos taken recently, both in the daytime and at night.

The amateur photographer who took the Plymouth photo was trying out his new digital camera. As is so often the case, he didn’t know he’d photographed a UFO until he saw the finished photo.

On our Dreamlandscience report this week Linda Moulton Howe interviews Mad Cow expert Giuseppe Legname, who says that U.S. efforts to control this disease are so bad, he’s stopped eating meat. Dave Louthan, who actually killed the mad cow on December 26, 2003, said the same thing on Dreamland recently. Now Tom Ellestad, owner of Vern’s Moses Lake Meats, where the cow was slaughtered, confirms that the cow was not a “downer.” This means there is no way to identify which cows have the disease unless every one of them is tested, and we now only test about 20,000 cows a year out of 35 million. The U.S. says it will test 40,000 cows during the upcoming year. France tests about 50,000 cattle every week, and Japan tests all cattle that are slaughtered for food. Dr.read more
