May 15, 1913: In every culture, tales of "the little people" have endured and inspired belief in another world, an unseen world, just beyond our grasp. The story of the Texas Green Man is just such a tale. Was it an alien? Something inter-dimensional? A hoax? OR something beyond comprehension?

James Willett Moseley (August 4, 1931 – Nov 16, 2012) spent nearly 60 years as a UFO researcher, exposing UFO hoaxes and engineering hoaxes of his own. He was best known as the publisher of the UFO newsletters Saucer News and its successor Saucer Smear, which became the longest continuously published UFO journal in the world. He lived on a large trust fund and never had a real job. His early years was spent traveling around South America to engage in what he called "grave robbing" of pre-Columbian artifacts, then later travelling to UFO conferences, interviewing UFO witnesses and personalities. He did believe a core of the UFO phenomenon was real and truly unexplained after filtering out all the hoaxes, conspiracy theories, mis-identifications and just plain nonsense that pervades much of the field.

Karl Tomlinson Pflock (Jan 6, 1943 – June 5, 2006) was a Marine then became a CIA intelligence officer, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Reagan Administration, strategic planner, UFO researcher, and author of both fiction and non-fiction. He was best known for his book Roswell: Inconvenient Facts and the Will to Believe.



May 15, 1975: Soviet crewmen from the two Soviet Kanin class guided missile destroyers Boykiy (290) and Zhguchiy (288) visit Boston. US Navy sailors spared no expense in entertaining them. The Navy also had plans to take visiting Soviet sailors on a tour of cultural sites in the Boston area. After stopping for lunch, the Soviets refused to leave a Howard Johnson's restaurant because they were so amazed by all the food they could order.


During the same historic visit, Admiral Stansfield Turner took a Soviet admiral to the Boston Pops to show him American culture. When they returned to the Lincoln Continental that the Navy had rented, all the tires including the spare had been stolen. LOL. Welcome to America!!

May 15, 1989: 36 years ago George Knapp unleashed Bob Lazar onto the world under the pseudonym Dennis. Lazar says that his job was to help with reverse engineering the antigravity propulsion system of one of nine flying saucers, which he alleges are extraterrestrial in origin. Lazar claims one of the flying saucers, the one he terms the "sport model" is manufactured out of a metallic substance similar in appearance and touch to stainless steel.
