Was President John F. Kennedy's fate the result of fear that he was on the verge of disclosing national &; military secret information regarding UFOs‚ aliens‚ &; possibly Bigfoot?By Greg May - Do you know the last official act of John F. Kennedy as president of the United States?The day before he was assassinated in Dallas Kennedy dedicated six new aerospace medical research buildings at Brooks Air Force Base in Texas. There were rumors that JFK may have seen the alien bodies retrieved from the UFO crash near Roswell‚ New Mexico in 1947. It is said that another former United States president took TV variety star Jackie Gleason – an avid UFO fan – out to Homestead Air Force Base to show him alien bodies ‘on ice’. It makes you wonder just how many of our presidents have viewed these alien cadavers.While at Brooks Air Force Base President Kennedy met Major General Theodore C. Bedwell‚ Jr. who had served as Deputy Surgeon and Chief of Industrial Medicine at Wright Field in Ohio – the location where the Roswell cadavers had been taken following their retrieval in 1947.A colleague of Major General Bedwell‚ Jr. claims to have read a classified report that included several color photographs of a highly unusual humanoid body recovered by NASA security personnel at what is known today as the John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field‚ Ohio.This was where liquid hydrogen rocket engines were developed that enabled NASA’s Apollo astronauts to reach the Moon.Two nights before the body was taken there had been a wave of UFO activity in the woods surrounding the Glenn facility that resembled small‚ fast-moving balls of blue light darting and zig-zagging around the NASA installation.Interestingly‚ this was similar to the UFO activity described to me by Tom Burnette‚ co-author of ‘Bigfoot: Exploring the Myth &; Discovering the Truth’. Burnette had observed similar UFO activity near his home in the Cherokee Mountains of North Carolina. Tom claims Bigfoot-like creatures are all over the Smoky Mountains but‚ unlike his mountain neighbors who moved after experiencing frightening encounters with these mountain monsters he is determined not to let them run him off his property.Once‚ Tom Burnette had rented his mountain cabin to a couple who – only after a couple of nights – called him from a store in town requesting their deposit back after being frightened by the sound of helicopter blades and the sight of bright lights in the woods in the middle of the night.The creature that had been shot and killed by NASA security near the John H. Glenn Research Center was described as ‘an immense‚ approximately 9-foot tall‚ powerfully-muscled monster’ that matches the description of Bigfoot. The beast was allegedly autopsied and found to have 32 teeth like most humans‚ vocal chords resembling those of humans and‚ even stranger was the small‚ metallic device found embedded within its lower left arm that resembled a highly advanced tracking device or transmitter.Eventually‚ the remains of the creature – including the transmitter – were taken to the Foreign Technology Division of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.Nothing else is known regarding the incident.Stan Gordon’s Silent Invasion: The Pennsylvania UFO-Bigfoot Casebook chronicles the flap of Bigfoot/UFO sightings in Pennsylvania during the ’70s but since this event occurred in 1963 it may very well be the first record on file with the U.S. government of the enigmatic relationship between UFOs and Bigfoot.NOTE: Was the JFK memo to the CIA about UFOs real? Did a recent declassified CIA file loosely links JFK's assassination to UFOs? You tell me.

You can now buy tickets to see Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom when it comes out in theaters in December. To celebrate‚ Warner Bros. put out a trailer that shows none other than Aquaman/Arthur Curry himself (Jason Momoa) trying to be a Best Dad‚ except for that whole part where his baby gets kidnapped by Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II). This latest trailer for the Aquaman sequel sets the stakes clearly: Arthur Curry is now a baby daddy and loses his baby after Black Manta—intent on killing Aquaman at any cost—kidnaps the baby to use his royal blood to open a gateway to the titular lost kingdom. Why does Black Manta want to do that? To free a powerful‚ demonic king who will then kill Aquaman‚ of course! The new clip also gives us more of Momoa riding a giant seahorse apparently getting attacked by an octopus‚ so the movie has that going for it as well. The voyage to see The Lost Kingdom on the big screen has been a long one for director James Wan‚ Momoa‚ and the rest of the cast given all the regime changes over at DC Studios. It looks like after some reshoots and other retooling‚ however‚ the movie will finally make its way to our eyeballs‚ whether we’re ready for it or not. Here’s the official synopsis: Having failed to defeat Aquaman the first time‚ Black Manta‚ still driven by the need to avenge his father’s death‚ will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. This time Black Manta is more formidable than ever before‚ wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident‚ which unleashes an ancient and malevolent force. To defeat him‚ Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm‚ the former King of Atlantis‚ to forge an unlikely alliance. Together‚ they must set aside their differences in order to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman’s family‚ and the world‚ from irreversible destruction. In addition to Momoa and Abdul-Mateen II‚ the DC film stars Patrick Wilson as Orm‚ Amber Heard as Mera‚ and Nicole Kidman as the matriarch‚ Atlanna. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom swims its way into theaters on December 22‚ 2023.

There’s something to the liminal semi-permanence of physical media that in and of itself feels ripe for narrative exploration‚ especially through the lens of historical horror. A film reel‚ a manuscript‚ a cassette tape: tangible objects‚ thought and vision translated into the approximation of a physical medium. A tangible object imbued with a soul‚ or something like it. With that physicality comes fragility: As powerful as it is to make the imagined manifest‚ it also means making it breakable. Add into the mix the real-life peculiarities of the film industry—namely‚ the eponymous prized film stock discontinued for its catastrophic combustibility—and you have the ingredients for a compelling magic story that perhaps only Silvia Moreno-Garcia could execute with such taut brilliance. A master at atmosphere‚ she excels at highlighting real-world horror through lush‚ specific‚ inventive storytelling. She balances her stories like an alchemist‚ weaves the threads of her plot expertly around her characters and setting‚ making for an airtight read that nevertheless knows when to breathe. Moreno-Garcia knows how to craft character dynamics that charm‚ madden‚ and anchor the reader. The dual points of view of her leads makes it feel at once the most natural and miraculous thing that it’s these two finding themselves in a mess of film magic and real monstrosity. Montserrat is a talented sound editor‚ clever‚ stubborn‚ and prone to hyperfocus. She tends to come off cold due to protective and necessary self-reliance. Tristán is a handsome‚ half-washed-up former soap star‚ Sensitive‚ needy‚ not infrequently the sort of casually cruel that can come with lifelong beauty and the prickling awareness of its impending decline. They met as children‚ Tristán the only kid in their building who didn’t tease Montserrat for her limp. Now‚ both of them aged thirty-eight‚ their careers and friendship have settled into something lonelier than either hoped. It’s 1994 in Mexico City‚ and Montserrat is more talented than her industry wants a Mexican woman to be‚ especially one who genuinely cares about her work. No matter her substantial skills‚ she will never get the chances of a white man. And Tristán’s career hasn’t been the same for a decade‚ not since the accident that cost him fame‚ his unblemished looks‚ and his well-connected ex-girlfriend. Biracial Lebanese and lighter skinned‚ he’d had a real shot that he hadn’t quite managed to take. Montserrat confessed her feelings for him a long time ago‚ and‚ avoiding the matter‚ he’s kept her leashed at arm’s length‚ yanking her close when he wants closeness. Through a tangle of codependency‚ real care‚ and messy blurry best friend boundaries‚ they’ve built their own devotion. They’re both stubborn‚ terribly real disaster bisexuals‚ and it’s a joy to watch them wound and want each other. When the once-legendary cult horror director Abel Ureta moves into Tristán’s building‚ both Montserrat and Tristán are drawn to him. He made a name for himself in the 1950s world of film noir‚ when audio was a new invention and the industry had far fewer regulations. That era and its complicated legacy lay over the text in irrevocable palimpsest. Buy it Now Still‚ when he reveals that he wants them to help him finish his final film‚ it sounds absurd. Ureta speaks of a man who was once a friend of his‚ a magnetic occultist who was able to imbue the silver nitrate in the film itself with magic. But like many European men in pursuit of power in this era‚ Ewers was a Nazi. Selfish to the marrow and ruthless about it‚ he speaks with seductive manipulation: exploiting the women and men of color in his life‚ making them feel chosen while he does. Now‚ Ureta wants their help to finish the film and lift the decades-old curse that Ewers ensured lingers in its incompletion. It’s about the synchronicity‚ Ureta explains—they need the audio. He needs Montserrat and Tristán. Somewhere between humoring an old man out of pity and well‚ what do we have to lose‚ they agree. And wildly‚ at first it seems to work. Not only does Ureta’s luck change‚ so do theirs. Until Tristán’s past comes back to haunt him‚ and Montserrat finds more within Ewers work than she expected. This is one that‚ if you can‚ feels extra right to read in print. The magic system is so cool‚ so deliciously believable. The thin line between chemistry and alchemy. The spell a story weaves. How surreal and world-opening the first films must have been‚ especially with the addition of sound—how unearthly to hear a machine present a trapped‚ repeatable facsimile of a human voice. Moreno-Garcia explores how colonialism and appropriation might manifest in magic—how it would‚ how it already does‚ really. How racism and exploitation would affect access and the execution of any spell the way it influences every industry. There is not a resource on this earth that belongs to people of color that a cruel white man would not exploit‚ including‚ obviously‚ their own bodies. The foil for this evil Nazi eugenicist magician being this badass bisexual underestimated Mexican sound editor who surrounds herself in thorns and yet is furiously in love with her infuriating best friend—she understands his medium better than he does. She respects it‚ she’s mastered it‚ and she genuinely adores it. Of course he tries to use her. Of course he underestimates her. And of course she’s used to powerful white men doing exactly fucking that. Silver Nitrate’s magic is a brilliant evocation of the mundane shot through with the divine (or the infernal‚ the mythic‚ the absurd). Nebulous yet anchored‚ it pulls from the darkest reaches of one’s psyche‚ from wretched guilt and selfish hope. It’s blunt‚ but not a tidy thing. It ripples. It bleeds from its source like radiation. Lingers behind the eyes like an afterimage. Silver nitrate film is said to have produced some of the most powerful experiences of viewing cinema. More vivid contrast‚ brighter whites and darker blacks‚ a deft tool for a cinematographer‚ an intimacy that must have felt especially uncanny to early audiences. Like all good magic‚ it comes with a risk and a price: Not only is it highly flammable‚ its specific chemical composition means its combustion process generates its own oxygen—it cannot be extinguished by water alone. It’s not easy to execute alternating dual points of view that enhance rather than deflate the atmosphere‚ but Moreno-Garcia does it so elegantly in a way that seems at once purposeful‚ fluid‚ and comfortable to read. She crafts an inviting intimacy with her flawed‚ fascinating leads that makes the experience irresistibly sleek. Such a perfect portrayal of a hero as not a chosen one‚ not an everyman or right time/right place‚ but someone using who they are and what they have to fight how only they can. Puzzle pieces clicking into satisfying place. It’s extremely effective‚ serving as another layer of this book’s shimmering magic. It comes down to what‚ and who‚ you believe in. It comes down to power and access: to have it after being so long denied. To hunger for it beyond remorse. Also‚ I need to emphasize: This is some of the sexiest a book without sex can get. These two are some of my favorite characters this year. Moreno-Garcia captures the warring wants‚ irritations‚ and needs between them‚ waxing and waning there beneath their gestures and conversations. A viciously capable woman‚ self-centered in the sexy way usually reserved for angsty white boys. A needy‚ beautiful decaying façade of a man. Nearing the end of their thirties with strings of slutty memories and no one making an impact on them as much as each other. You don’t need to have a weakness for that sort of thing for the dynamic to work; it works. Silvia Moreno-Garcia is one of the greats of our time. Silver Nitrate is another example of work that understands its genre well enough to pack a perfect punch in the direction of an audience often sidelined‚ and once again‚ it’s a knock-out. Homage and send-up at once and a marvel at all of it. Reading this one feels like a triumph. What is magic? Writing your own story—and returning to it for revisions when you’ve figured out how to make it right for the person you’re ready to become. The specific love in your life‚ friendship and community and making a home of each other. Sleek‚ suspenseful‚ brown and bisexual as hell‚ Silver Nitrate haunts in the best way. A soft yet searing wonder. Silver Nitrate is published by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Maya Gittelman is a queer Fil-Am and Jewish writer and poet.

Who’s up for some crazy love in a world full of zombies Walkers? The Walking Dead spinoff‚ The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live‚ apparently is. And while there has been more than one spinoff of the original AMC series‚ this one stars two fan favorites—Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira)—who are‚ apparently‚ in love! The short sneak peek clip has both Lincoln and Gurira talking up the new series‚ which AMC also just announced will premiere on AMC and its streaming platform counterpoint‚ AMC+‚ in February. Here’s the show’s official synopsis: The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live presents an epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world. Kept apart by distance. By an unstoppable power. By the ghosts of who they were. Rick and Michonne are thrown into another world‚ built on a war against the dead… And ultimately‚ a war against the living. Can they find each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they’ve ever known before? Are they enemies? Lovers? Victims? Victors? Without each other‚ are they even alive–or will they find that they‚ too‚ are the Walking Dead? Some deep stuff going on here! I admit I stopped watching The Walking Dead many‚ many seasons ago‚ so I missed the memo if the original series ever made Rick and Michonne an item. Either way‚ it looks like this show is centered around their relationship and its associated struggles (and also‚ presumably‚ trying to survive in an undead world)‚ and we’ll get to see how it all unfolds in the new year. The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is executive produced by showrunner Scott M. Gimple‚ Lincoln‚ Gurira‚ Denise Huth and Brian Bockrath. It will premiere on AMC and AMC+ on February 25‚ 2024.
