Witch Burning Occurs in South Africa

By: Alex Kack

Two sisters were burned to death in the South African province of Eastern Cape.

The women, aged 53 and 33 had been accused of practicing witchcraft by locals, and were removed from their homes by their attackers. Shortly after the murder their homes were also burnt down.

Seven people have been arrested so far in conjunction with the attack, and Alfred Nzo District Municipality Mayor Sixolile Mehlomakhulu has condemned the attack in the strongest words possible.

This is not the first time women have been on the receiving end of violence due to allegations of witchcraft in Eastern Cape. In May of this year a video surfaced online showing two women, accused of witchcraft, who had been stripped naked and were being whipped.

Violence against those associated with witchcraft and other pagan religions has been common across the world, for centuries, however the kidnapping and burning of supposed witches, has not been common in most of the western world since the early 1700’s.

Currently today both Saudi Arabia and Cameroon have laws strictly prohibiting the practice of witchcraft.

Government Program Researched Stargates, Other Dimension

By: Alex Kack

The United States governments Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, originally disclosed in a shocking New York Times article in 2017, funded research into a variety of other theoretical and supernatural phenomena. These new revelations come in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.
Many of these topics have been the hall mark of science fiction for decades. Among the subjects studied were traveling through worm holes or “stargates”, warp drives, invisibility cloaking, ‘high energy laser weapons’ and the viability of experimental new metals.
It seems unlikely that any of the projects funded produced any tangible or actionable results, however the federal government appears to have took these types of experimental and theoretical science projects seriously enough to fund them.
Prior to this disclosure it was presumed that Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, had primarily served to investigate alleged UFO sightings.

Harvard researchers say mysterious structure may be alien probe

By: Alex Kack

Oumuamua is the name scientists have given to a mysterious object traveling through space and into our solar system. The object is of unknown origin although scientists do know that it originated outside of our solar system, making it the first known object to have done so. It was first observed towards the end of 2017.
Now researchers from Harvard University are advancing the idea that it "may be a fully operational probe sent intentionally to Earth vicinity by an alien civilization." A statement they make in a to be published paper in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
The researchers are careful to state this is far from certain, however there are abnormalities about the speed and trajectory of the object that have confused them and other researchers.
Namely that the object sped up as it passed our Sun, something that should have naturally caused the object to slow.
When first observed researchers at SETI attempted to observe the object for a vari…
