QED Replacement

 
See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/05/last-ever-qed.html.
My prediction has come true. It seems that the vacuum left by the demise of QED has indeed been filled by another conference. In this case it is the European Skeptics Congress 2026. This is not technically a replacement for QED because this conference has been running annually since 1989 and is not always in the same location. Its current organizing body, the European Council of Skeptic Organizations, was founded in 1994 at its sixth congress. It is held in different countries across the continent. I'm surprised I've never heard of it before. This year it is in the UK, in Liverpool to be precise, and the organizers have teamed up with the Merseyside Skeptics. I'm not surprised to see that "Marsh" is a big part of it. Despite this not being a new QED per se, it has many of the features of the lost conference. It begins on the Friday with "SkeptiCamp" and "the Mixer" in the evening. The MC is Siân Docksey again and they are having the Ockham Awards. Marsh is now editor of The Skeptic magazine and he'll be handing out the Award for Skeptical Activism to the annual hero of skepticism; and the Rusty Razor Award for the most despicable disseminator of woo... although I have not been nominated again unfortunately. Well, I am up against fierce competition. Previous laureates include Reform UK and Elon Musk, the winner when I went there in 2024, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2024/10/qed-conference-2024.html. This is similar to the Snuffed Candle Award given out every year at The Amazing Meeting to such luminaries as Art Bell. The list of speakers also sounds familiar to anybody with an interest in the Skeptisphere. Source: https://escliverpool.org. The original QED website still exists; it now consists of a single page which is a memorial to the annual event that ran from 2011 to 2025. "14 years, 12 events (a break for Covid of course), 144 talks, 6000 attendees... Here's to the future." The final line implies the QED story is not yet over. There is a link to the YouTube channel with recordings of the talks, see: https://qedcon.org. The ESC 2026 is this weekend and so I won't be going this year. I hope everybody who attends has a good time. I might go to future events; and I have a feeling there will be another one next year. I don't know what it will be called, but it will probably be a genuine permanent QED redux. I might go along to that when it emerges.

National Myths

 
Argentina has once again asserted its territorial claim to the Falkland Islands. This time they have big hitters in the international community on their side, in the shape of Israel and the USA. I am disappointed in Javier Milei. When he took power in 2023 I called him the "Argentine Trump". He was a populist, almost anti-political figure whose mentor was Margaret Thatcher. He got through his entire campaign with a very lukewarm position on the Falklands; in fact he barely mentioned the subject. This is amazing in a nation suffering from what they themselves call as a self-deprecating joke, "Malvinitis". Since then Milei seems to have been lured into the establishment in the same way Boris Johnson was, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/07/boris-is-finished.html. He has started reciting the old line that his predecessors did. Argentina's claim to the Falkland Islands is completely bogus, in fact it is a hoax invented by the junta to control the people's emotions; see here for details: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2022/04/programme-460-falklands-war-40_14.html. Argentina has suffered enormously during the 20th century. It has endured economic collapse and fascist tyranny. It would be a far happier country if it could find a way to get over this madness about those little islands full of sheep farms just off their continental shelf. However, mass mental obsessions are difficult to break; and I'm not just criticizing Argentina here. Maybe it's normal for nations to have an idea that almost all the citizens believe in, and for them is quintessential to their national identity and self-esteem; but it is completely false. Whatever country you, the reader, live in; what do you think yours is? Being British, I'm not sure. Very often the citizen themselves is the last person to see the problem. These falsehoods are often harder to discern from the inside. Foreigners are more likely to spot them first. I am British, but I'm also Welsh; however I left Wales as a child and moved to Oxford, England. This might be why I have spotted the national myth suffered by Wales. It is not an obsession with any islands or anything like that; it is the notion that Wales is universally and eternally "oppressed by the bloody English!" To be fair, Wales is not alone in this mindset, in fact Scotland and Ireland are far worse. I call this concept the "CVD- Celtic Victimhood Delusion." I'll leave some background links below to provide details. The CVD has actually been very damaging. It has made Wales and its fellow "Celtic nations" defenceless against the globalist onslaught via the European Union and the World Economic Forum etc. Your average Taffy's response to this threat is: "EU and WEF? Who cares about them? At least they're not the bloody English!" They think we still live in the 14th century, the days of Owain Glyndŵr. They see the world through the cracked lens of the lost order of territorial states and national empires. Perhaps it is because I am an expat I can pierce through the veil. I think Wales would be a far happier country if, like Argentina, we could leave the CVD behind in the past where it belongs.

28 Days Later

 
I recently delivered my lecture "Real Zombies" at the Mablethorpe group, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/09/mablethorpe-presentation-videos-3.html. In this talk I have always referred to the apocalyptic film 28 Days Later, but I have never watched it. I did see the first quarter of an hour once, many years ago, but never the rest of it. Therefore, the evening before I left for the Lincolnshire venue I decided to watch the entire movie for research purposes. It was made in 2002 and directed by Danny Boyle, best known for his surreal and bleak shock-factor films like Shallow Grave and Trainspotting. The scriptwriter is Alex Garland, a novelist turned screenwriter with a taste for dystopian stories with a dark tone. I have previously reviewed his movie Ex Machina which he also directed, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/10/ex-machina.html. There is a prologue scene in which a zombie virus escapes from a laboratory, but I found it hard to take seriously because the scientist is played by David Schneider, a comedian I know very well from his collaborations with Steve Coogan, of which I'm a big fan. The virus causes people to turn into zombie-like entities which attack and bite other people, thus spreading the virus further; a familiar and regularly used trope. The next scene has the main character Jim, played by Cillian Murphy, waking up alone in a London hospital, in a situation reminiscent of John Wyndham's Day of the Triffids. He wanders the empty streets of the city desperately looking for other people. How on earth the film makers managed to shoot that scene in crowded London and make it look deserted is amazing. They must have filmed in midsummer in the early hours of a Sunday morning. Jim eventually realizes what has happened when he encounters "the Infected" and has to flee from them. Luckily he meets some other people who are not infected. A woman named Selena and a father and daughter. The father, Frank, is a likeable London cabbie played by another Irish actor, Brendan Gleeson. He has a daughter called Hannah in her early teens; and the two of them are struggling to survive in an East End tower block. Frank is jolly and hopeful, but he is sometimes reckless in his optimism and takes terrible risks. Selena is a bit of a cliché, the "apocalypse poser", see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2012/12/prepper-posers.html and: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2012/03/insider-posers.html. She mellows a bit later in the story though. They all team up and begin a journey, looking for anybody who can help them. I've found this often happens in post-apocalyptic fiction; another example is The Road, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/06/the-road.html.

They end up at a location near Manchester where they come across a group of men who call themselves "soldiers" although it is more likely they are just ordinary blokes who happened upon an abandoned military base and are just play-acting. Their leader is played very well by Christopher Eccleston, pre-Doctor Who. This was the same year he starred in The Second Coming, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2023/01/ben-emlyn-jones-live-at-truth-seekers.html and: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2020/08/apocalypse-soon.html. To begin with, the men are helpful and obliging, serving the main characters food and giving them comfortable accommodation in an old stately home where there is a water and electricity supply. It is fortified against attacks by the Infected. Soon afterwards though, it turns out these men have dastardly intentions and consider their guests as prisoners. Jim has to stage a rescue mission to free the girls from captivity. It's quite exciting and I wondered how he was going to do it. However, there are some elements of the film I found pretty incredulous. Despite living in a dystopian hellhole, Selena is always depicted as very well groomed. Her clothing is clean and her hair is styled in a trendy spiky cut. This is despite Jim having trouble shaving because of the lack of water. There are many zombie flicks I really like such as the series by George A Romero and the Resident Evil ones. 28 Days Later has some good elements from the genre as well as some fertile original ones, but it lacks a certain vividness that you find in the former two examples. Despite that, I'd say it's worth watching, especially if you like the zombie apocalypse milieu.

The Shill-Shaming of Richard D Hall

                      
See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/07/rdh-lawsuit-mini-portal.html.
I'm trying to think of a word that means a backslapper who targets other backslappers. Maybe "back-backslapper" or "backslapperslapper" or perhaps "super-backslapper" (I don't remember that comic book!); how do they sound?... I'm sure I can think of something better. The reason I bring this up is because I recently attended Richard D Hall's "Home for Lewis" tour and wrote a review. It is only on HPANWO Free because its content is not suitable for HPANWO Voice, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/08/substack-exclusive-notice-27826.html. During the event Richard very briefly refers to a situation in which he's been accused of being a government agent engaged in a psyop. I've known Richard for a long time, long enough that this seemed so incredulous that I dismissed it instinctively; however, I made note of the irony that Richard has voiced such suspicions himself about many other people over and over again, also usually unfairly. Then something happened that I didn't expect. Somebody called "911 IS A JOKE" posted a very indignant comment under the article which included such sentiments as: "You and he may keep evading that Ben..." and "...are you going to shill out as usual?" Bear in mind that this was their opening post; it was not a reply to anything I had said to him or her. Seeing as this person was being so aggressive I responded in kind. To cut a long story short, the comments section then blossomed into a collection of fourteen enraged, sarcastic and contemptuous posts by at least four different people. These posts are long and detailed, as you can see. I must admit I spotted a familiar pattern in these tirades, one that I've had to deal with before; for example see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2016/12/is-larry-warren-fraud.html and: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2018/01/gary-heseltine-on-reclaiming-perceptions.html. Those situations led to me being banned from a conference, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2023/05/a-person-goes-to-olm-one-year-on_8.html. At the same time one of these people, when they were making an attempt at being calm and rational, informed me of several statements made by Tony Gosling, a conspiracy researcher and radio show host. I don't know Tony Gosling very well. Our paths have crossed at several conferences and 9/11 Truth events, but I've only ever spoken to him briefly. He comes across as very aloof and detached, the type who probably can't tell me apart from anybody else. He replied to me on Facebook a couple of weeks ago when I posted a tribute to Ann Widdecombe. His single sentence did nothing but point out that I had spelled her name slightly wrong. He spoke at Probe once in the 2000's and I remember that he caused a lot of trouble. Speakers at Probe are given one hour on stage and then they have to stop because the conference is a multi-speaker event. I always respected this schedule when I was invited onto the stage. Tony's speech timed out at almost two hours and he decided that he was going to finish it no matter what and to hell with the other speakers. He therefore refused to get off the stage at the end of his allotted hour despite Jean and Sam constantly signalling to him that his time was up. He just ignored them and carried on to the end. I just wish he had done this at AV because Ian R Crane would have walked on and just slammed his laptop shut. As it was Jean looked so angry and upset; and the day was delayed. Subsequent speakers had their time cut back. After his talk Tony arrogantly walked out of the room without speaking to anybody and left. So clearly this ugly duckling thinks he's the goose that lays golden eggs, but is he? Tony has done an interview with somebody called Aisling O'Loughlin all about Richard D Hall.
 
The interview is curiously Spartan when it comes to factual discussion. Neil Sanders might be boring and trite, as well as completely wrong, but he at least attempts to stick to evidence as he reads pages from Snopes in his three-hour monologues, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/11/the-downfall-of-richard-d-hall.html. Tony Gosling and Aisling O'Loughlin say almost nothing about any evidence at all. The only time I can think of where there is something a rationalist can get their teeth into was where Aisling claims that the explosive supposedly used by the Manchester Area bomber, Triacetone triperoxide, explains away the anomalies at the inner casualty zone identified by Richard D Hall. It does not. TATP may not produce a flame or heat, but it has about 83% of the power of TNT. It would have broken the glass and cracked the floor for sure. What's more the alleged culprit, Salman Abedi, was carrying an exceptionally heavy charge. They also do not address the lack of CCTV evidence and the redacted images published by official sources. What about the direct evidence that Richard is a government agent? Tony wonders how he could afford to pay for the studio in Consett. I've actually been to that studio, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2010/10/my-interview-on-richplanet-starship.html, and you'd be surprised to see what it's really like. It is on the top floor of a very old office building tucked in between cupboards full of dust and cobwebs. The items inside the cupboards could well be valuable as museum pieces. The windows are very fragile looking plate glass that I was nervous going near in case I stumbled against them and they broke, causing me to fall out. They were grimy and the frames were rotten. They clearly were many decades old. Richard's studio looks good on broadcasts with its green screen and props, but Richard made them all himself. He earns money by selling DVD's and books. He asked me to cover my travel expenses because he is short of cash, which I agreed to. I stayed in the spare room of his house. If Tony is implying that Richard is somehow funded by MI6 or something then he has no clue at all what he's talking about. If Richard were a shill then Richplanet would be far more upmarket and the money would be appearing out of nowhere. Aisling states that Richard was "obviously put there" to run the supposed psyop, but provides no reason why anybody should believe her. As with the BBC, Tony and Aisling's conversation was anchored in emotion. Tony kept using words like "pernicious", "poisonous" and "dangerous". He totally supports the families in their claim that Richard has harassed them. He keeps coming back again and again to declare that Richard and his supporters have caused them an infinite amount of pain and distress. Tony Gosling is not the first skeptic to assert moral ownership over terror victims, whether real or fake. He totally disagrees with my assertion that these claims are bogus and some outside influence put the claimants up to the lawsuit. He does not ask who funded their prosecution. Ironically, Tony does indeed question the official story of the Manchester incident, but he only does so up to the point of doubting who the perpetrator was. He points out the Abedi family's connection to British intelligence and the plot in Libya which David Shayler details here: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2012/10/programme-19-podcast-david-shayler.html. What's more there was a second female suspect spotted that evening; but none of this contradicts Richard's hypothesis. Tony then goes on to dismiss Richard's work as a distraction from the "real conspiracy", a way the state can confuse and repel people's interest by inserting a nonsense story that makes conspiracy theorists look stupid; a psychological obstacle to gaining genuine information... And he actually thinks he is being original! His attitude to 9/11 is exactly the same, that Richard's support of Andrew Johnson and Dr Judy Wood is keeping 9/11 research away from the real story, that bombs and thermite were used; the one proposed by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. If this is the extent of his denouncement of Richard then it falls way short of rational persuasion. What's more, I've explained in great detail, far more detail than Tony and Aisling have managed, exactly why such distraction tactics cannot work; and that, if anything, we're being subjected to a double-bluff, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/06/breaking-news-ufos-were-psyop.html. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4RgFEFBodY. In my view, there is currently no final answer to the Manchester Arena happening. I'm not a hundred percent sure what took place that night; but between Richard D Hall and Tony Gosling, along his interviewer, Richard has presented a far more convincing case.
That brings us back to the waterfall of rage that my HPANWO Free Substack comments section has turned into. It's actually very difficult to analyze written passages when they are framed with continuous insults and attacks. It's like trying to build a rebuttal on somebody while they are screaming epithets in your ears. Basically, this is why "truth mobs" do it. It also generates confusion in the exact way Tony Gosling mistakenly thinks governments do. It's like walking in on a barroom brawl and expecting to hear somebody explain calmly and quietly what the dispute was about, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2018/03/hampstead-truth-mobbing.html. It was a fundamental tactic of the hate cults that grew up around Larry Warren, Kevin Annett and Darren Perks. However, I think I've managed to filter a skeleton of a gist from this diatribe. There are a number of bloggers; their names are "Adrasteia", "Blue Sky Maiden", "Dub SurgeOn", "Protrue", "Miri AF" and possibly a few others, who have taken on the task of commenting on Richard D Hall and his supporters. There seems to be some kind of flame war underway between this faction and a gang of whom they refer to as "trolls" and "shills". They repeat a lot of the baseless accusations that Tony Gosling makes, albeit it in a far more hysterical tone. To complicate matters further, "Blue Sky Maiden" seems to agree with Richard that there are suspicious elements to the photographic record from the 22nd, but has still fallen into conflict with Iain Davis because he and Richard ignored what they said. Whenever I look into the background of these shill squad operations I almost always find that it began with an irrelevant personal dispute; Danielle La Verité is a prime example, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-shill-shaming-of-danielle-la-verite.html. Dr Nick Kollerstrom seems to agree with "Blue Sky Maiden", yet he has done so without turning hyperallergenic against Richard and Iain. From what I gather, based on the information sent to me by my challengers on Substack, these people have got into a conflict of some kind with Richard and Iain Davis because the latter two dispute the evidence presented by the authors and this argument has simply got out of hand, as internet arguments so often do. If I'm right then I don't understand how it's any of my business. No doubt they will respond by accusing me of "fence sitting" or being an "enabler"... what am I talking about? They already have! They have created up to fourteen comments inspired simply by my favourable review of Richard's tour. Rational discussion with people like that is not possible. Sources: https://adrasteia.substack.com/p/protrue-account-looses-its-mind-and, https://theblueskymaiden1.substack.com/p/martin-and-eve-hibbert-photo-discrepancies and: https://theblueskymaiden1.substack.com/p/was-iaini-davis-the-protrue-stalker. I know very well that Richard D Hall makes enemies easily. By his own admission, he lacks diplomacy skills. I myself fell out with him over an attack he made against me on Facebook. The point is that his personality is not a crime. He does not deserve the attempt to suppress him financially and socially by the government, the BBC and a bunch of litigious mercenaries. I have personally witnessed many times Richard's rather light trigger finger when it comes to rejecting people as "agents" and their work as "psyops" for no good reason. For example he stated that he thought Linda Moulton Howe might be compromised. His evidence? She disagreed with him about human mutilations, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2021/12/richplanet-tv-on-aatip.html. This does not justify, or even mitigate, Richard being subjected to the same treatment. He does not deserve to be called a shill, unless he happens to be one. I don't think he is a shill; I've seen no good reason at all to suspect him of being a shill. What's more there are endless reasons to believe that he most definitely is not. I'm convinced that he is being sincere in his work. I'd like to think that this article I've just written will put this nonsensical and juvenile truth mobbing chimp-out to bed; but, of course, I know from experience that it won't. As with Larry Warren, Kevin Annett, Darren Perks and many others, these hobbyhorses don't last forever. They have a shelf-life and we just have to wait until they run out of energy; and the members just get bored and go away to do something else. They all end up that way eventually.

2026 Crop Circles

 
Last year I wrote an article about the status of the crop circle phenomenon, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/10/the-end-of-crop-circles.html. It is a poignant and bittersweet lament in which I had to agree with Andy Thomas that this was the "new normal", a slow and silent decline; maybe the end of crop circles altogether. I was keen to see what would transpire in the year ahead and now that year has come. It is early September, at the time of writing, and the harvests have been gathered in. What can I say about the 2026 season? Well, I can't help thinking that somebody up there read Andy's and my articles and said: "Hold my beer!" The 2026 crop circle tally has more than doubled in size compared to the last few years. Not only has the phenomenon increased in volume, but this year's designs have demonstrated a lot of variety and sophistication. Some of them have a retro tribute feel, hearkening back to the early swirls and linear structures on the 80's and 90's; such as the Fox Hill one and the Swiss example. The former has some features without tramline access. There are some straight and geometric ones, like the example in the illustration from Tidcombe, Wiltshire. Source: https://temporarytemples.co.uk/crop-circles/2026-crop-circles. Obviously this is a happy eventuality and I have enjoyed it; but the question has to be asked: Why the change? Why has whatever is behind the crop circles decided that more are needed this year? Well, this summer has certainly had its challenges, for example the exceptional heatwave, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/08/why-heatwave.html. Is it because of the warning signs of secrets being revealed; the Epstein Files or UFO's? It's impossible to know for sure because none of the circles are explicit in their meaning. As always, their impact comes from how they make us feel at a very deep spiritual level; and it's not usually possible to translate that into current affairs. I look forward to reading what Andy has to say; and it will be in the next issue of Nexus magazine as usual. What will 2027 bring us? Whatever it is, you'll be able to find out in around twelve months time by reading HPANWO Voice.

HDA Article 3

 
I have written a review of Jonathan Womack's new documentary film Ancient Rings of Sirius. It can be read on The Wow! Signal, the official journal of the Hollywood Disclosure Alliance, see: https://www.thewowsignal.news/latest-news/ancient-rings-of-sirius. The journal is now a subscription service, but it is very cheap, just £1.48 per month; so I heartily recommend buying a subscription.
Not long ago I reviewed Jonathan's previous work, Ancient Architects of Orion, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/03/hda-article-2.html. See here for the director's site: https://jonathanwomack.com.
Many thanks also to the Wow! editor Dan Harary. See here for a HPANWO Radio interview with Dan: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2024/08/hpanwo-show-558-podcast-dan-harary.html.

Ben Emlyn-Jones at the Essex UFO and Paranormal Group 2

 
I will be speaking at the Essex UFO and Paranormal Group on Friday the 2nd of October 2026. My talk will be entitled: Helen Duncan and the Witchcraft Trial. In 1944 the psychic medium Helen Duncan was put on trial under the two hundred year old Witchcraft Act of 1735 because she was accused of defrauding the public by staging a fake séance. Was she really a fake medium? Or was something more complicated and furtive going on, something related to espionage and wartime security? The venue is the Balmoral Community Centre, Salisbury Ave, Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, SS0-7AU. The event starts at 7 PM and it costs £10. See here for details: https://essexufo.group/events.

Clive Lewis on UFO's

 
The Sol Foundation has published the most surprising interview. One thing I've often complained about is that the current post-2017 Disclosure movement is centred on, driven by and almost exclusively engaged in by the United States of America. I'm British and passionately enthusiastic about ET Disclosure, almost to the point of obsession; as regular readers will know very well. There is no reason why the United States should be the leader of this quest. We're not in the Cold War anymore and global politics is now distinctly multi-polar. Nobody else has appointed the US to this position. This is not America's fault. At the end of the day, the cause of the US being the prime workhorse of this mission is because other countries are too lazy and/or narrow-minded. I'm afraid it's that simple. American lawmakers have got off their butts and dared to do what few other elected officials ever have. As much as I admire American heroes like Tim Burchett, Anna Paulina Luna and Eric Burlison, my patriotism is resisting. I can't stand the Yanks beating us! I'm pleased to say that a UK Member of Parliament has finally spoken out; he has been featured on an hour-long interview with Sol's co-founder Peter Skafish. Clive Lewis is MP for Norwich South and was first elected in 2015 after working as a BBC journalist and military reservist. He was Shadow Defence Secretary under Jeremy Corbyn. His father is from Grenada, like Sir Eric Gairy, which might be why he says he had an interest in UFO's as a child. He became a skeptic as he grew up and was educated, but something has rekindled his interest. He does the interview from his home, dressed casually; but he is obviously not appearing against the orders of his authority. The Prime Minister at the time of recording, Keir Starmer, may not have positively approved, but he has not vetoed Lewis at all. Behind Lewis is a children's painting of a space rocket, probably done by his eight year old daughter. Mr Lewis shares my wish that British officials should follow the example set by our American peers. He calls for greater transparency for this reason. Strangely, and significantly, he does not mention any specific case. You'd think he would refer to some of them, or at least our most prominent and by far best documented one, the Rendlesham Forest Incident. Is this just an oversight on his part or is he omitting details deliberately? If so then despite that, he is a proponent of transparency, as I said. He is open to the idea that UAP are artefacts of a non-human intelligence. He thinks, as many people do, that the acknowledgement of ET civilization could give all people in the world a sense of common humanity. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoUr0rsb7rU.
 
Despite what I've said here, we "Limeys" have never ignored the UFO phenomenon completely. Actually we set up one of the first investigations in the world back in 1942 under the direct leadership of Winston Churchill, to solve the mystery of the "foo-fighters", see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2017/02/churchill-on-ufos.html. This was several years before Project Sign in the USA. We have had our own close encounters, abductions and crash-retrievals. We have had a number of government research projects over the years run by the Ministry of Defence and intelligence agencies. We have a nationwide network of civilian research groups that are often highly organized and carry out field research in a very professional manner. We also have our home-grown UFO hero in the shape of Peter Baron Hill-Norton, a former Chief of the Defence Staff and joint organizer of NATO. He was quite blunt and unequivocal in his belief that UFO's constituted alien visitation and was vocally opposed to all secrecy. His speeches in the House of Lords are classics in the history of Disclosure. Really, any state actor in the world could do this. Nobody needs to sit around waiting for another nation to start the ball rolling. All countries experience UFO's; probably dozens of them have the kind of decisive physical evidence necessary for Disclosure. To be the Disclosure nation would result in a lot of historical prestige. I really don't care who does it so long as somebody does; but if it were to be my own country of course I'd feel very proud.

Nice Town

 
My love of obscure TV miniseries that I remember as part of the haunted generation has led to me seek out Nice Town. It took me a long time to find it all. At first I discovered episode two and three on Dailymotion, but episode one was missing from that platform. This bothered me because it is the best one and it is essential for understanding the two others. Eventually, with the help of a HPANWO reader, I found the entire series on a Russian website. Nice Town was first broadcast in 1992 on the BBC. It was directed by Pedr James and written by Guy Hibbert. It is a story about family who move into a new purpose-built suburban estate of designer McMansions. The central characters are two thirty-something couples; Joe and Frankie, and Paul and Linda. Paul and Joe are brothers and Joe and Linda are ex-partners. This dynamic quickly develops into a terrible crisis. Paul is sterile and wants a baby with Linda. Joe and Linda then conspire for her to get pregnant via donated sperm from Joe; and keep this secret from Paul, making him think that he has recovered from his sterility and is the real father. Alongside all this there is a subplot involving a local teenage boy and girl with very conservative parents who want to have a sexual relationship, so Joe provides a love nest for them in his own home. What's more, ironically, Paul discovers that his and Joe's own parents have a deep dark secret related to hereditary matters. Predictably, all these secrets cannot be kept and when the truth comes out the family is torn apart.
Nice Town can be watched here. The episodes all have ironic names from the bible. "Immaculate Conception", "Unto Us a Child is Born" and "Idyll".
Episode 1: https://ok.ru/video/6858066758392.
Episode 2: https://ok.ru/video/6858066496248.
Episode 3: https://ok.ru/video/6858066889464.
 
There are other somewhat sardonic elements; for example, there are placement shots including the sky and they have a cartoon sun and moon with faces on them. The series is essentially a parody of British suburban middle-class society. We are a nation obsessed with social class and satires about it are very common, but this one is highly unusual. Joe is a very extreme caricature. I first came across Nice Town again when I was researching this year's St Theo's watch party which was for Paper Mask, starring Paul McGann, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2026/07/paper-mask-watch-party-livestream.html. McGann also plays Joe, and that character has many similarities to Matthew Harris. They share a common weakness, selfishness and deceit. I find Joe one of the most repulsive individuals I've ever encountered in fiction. He is a feeble, effeminate manipulator, a ruthless and egocentric blackguard. In terms of his marriage, he has an almost complete traditional role-reversal with Frankie. She goes out and works as a medical research scientist. Joe stays at home and looks after their daughter Katie as well as doing the housework. He wears a pink frilly apron while doing this. He has a totally blinkered and unrealistic vision of the world around him. When he presents his idea to Linda he calls it "a simple gift of life" as if he is a member of some New Age free love commune. When he is questioned by the police over his love nest for the teenagers he is totally indignant and entitled. He doesn't understand that what he did was criminal. He is physically puny and when Paul confronts him violently Paul can do so with impunity. Despite Joe's ineffectual and bland personality, his underhand actions leave a trail of chaos and destruction. I must admit, my antipathy towards Joe is really just personal because he reminds me very much of "Centaur", the man who abused me when I was a child, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2012/09/centaur.html. This is an important lesson. You may think "girlie men" are harmless, but they are not; they are highly toxic and dangerous. They actually are capable of physical violence, but only against a victim who is even smaller and weaker; that obviously means a child. Along with the cartoon heavenly bodies, Nice Town has other special effect scenes. There is a very grotesque dream sequence in which we see Joe as a satyr. The birth scene of the baby has a distinct horror element to it; and so does its aftermath in the maternity ward. Some viewers might be disturbed by that. However, the most upsetting scenes, for me, are several which are "POV" from the newborn baby, Angelica. This baby is, of course, the innocent victim caught up in the middle of a conflict she was born into and cannot comprehend. Yet in these scenes her parents both lean close to her and shout angrily in her face. That is really nasty. Towards the end of the series, Joe's malevolence gets worse and worse. Even when I saw this programme originally on TV as a much younger person, I understood what it meant and how it fitted in with my own life. Nice Town does have some good elements though. Frankie is played by Josette Simon who is very famous for Blakes 7, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2007/10/blakes-7.html. Joe and Paul's mother is played by Doreen Mantle who is a very widespread actress. You might enjoy it, so I recommend giving it a try.

Why the Heatwave?

 
Western Europe has experienced its hottest driest summer ever. The heatwave has lasted for over two months. It has been continuous, with just brief drops in temperature only as low as average hot summer ones. This heatwave, oddly, has not been punctuated with the usual thunderstorms. The cause of this has been called a "heat dome", an atmospheric effect in which hot air gets trapped in a particular place, changes in global wind patterns and the warming of the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. These factors cause a heatwave that literally never ends until what's known as the "super El Niño breaking point" in which the heat gives way immediately, sometime in mid to late September, to the usual winter storms and floods. The short term forecast is for cooler temperatures and some rain, in Britain at least, for the next week or so; but the heat dome might well return to its previous dimensions and last another month. Europe is generally by far the worst area affected by climate change and so these conditions are predicted to return next year, the year after and the year after that... forever. There's no escape! And, the overall boogieman, the supercharging force behind it all, is, of course, human-caused global warming. Source: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/blog/2026/deep-dive-european-heat-builds-while-the-uk-sits-on-the-boundary. The political classes have been making more hay over this situation than the poor British farmers. The usual prophecies of doom and appeals for fundamental changes to industry, the economy and society to save us from this catastrophe have been massively boosted. Andy Burnham's new administration have renewed their drive for Net Zero and more "environmentally friendly" energy generation, together with the inevitable increase in internationalism and authoritarianism.
 
I have to wonder if the current extreme weather is being intensified and perpetuated, if not even generated, by geoengineering technology. There are full details in the background links below, but it is not a secret that weather can be controlled to a certain degree; when it comes to creating rain clouds. However, the original publicly revealed research into weather control was far more ambitious. This Disney documentary from 1959 predicts such methods, along with meteorological satellites, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3HaWViVjF8. As you can see, this is science fiction, but it is speculative rather than fantasy. We see the ability to change the pattern of high and low pressure areas; in this case, to protect the US eastern seaboard from a hurricane. What happened to this research after the 1950's? Was it simply abandoned? I don't think so. What's more, surely it must have occurred to somebody at some point that the same technology could also be used to direct a hurricane towards a seaboard, that of an enemy country. What we have here is the most terrible weapon of war, and the capability to deploy it with plausible deniability. It can be dismissed as a freak of nature. What goes for hurricanes can also apply to heatwaves; after all, both are simply caused by atmospheric pressure zones. There are many facilities of earth that are designed to fill the skies with electromagnetic radiation, such as HAARP. I recommend the research of Elana Freeland on this. One of the last things the late Gareth Davies did was give me a copy of her book Under an Ionized Sky in which she argues that the earth's atmosphere has been filled with conductive metallic nanoparticles through chemtrail operations and that it operates in conjunction with ground-based phased-array transmitters like HAARP, see here for an interview with Elana: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1DaAAMSMMU. There is a growing scepticism in the European population towards the notion of manmade climate change and the way globalist statesmen seem to be using it as a pretext for almost everything bad that they want to do. More and more citizens are electing populist politicians who openly question the scientific consensus on climate change. Seeing as climate change has been turned into something so essential to the authorities as a justification; to take it away so suddenly would cause a calamitous loss of credibility for them. For this reason I would definitely not put it past them to engineer an ecological disaster that seems to be caused by manmade climate change to try and make us think again. What's more they don't care if people overheat or animals and trees die or farms can't grow any crops. (In fact they've got other nasty schemes in store for farmers anyway!) Don't fall for it, people.

Star Wars in Welsh

 
The first Star Wars film, A New Hope, is set to be given a Welsh language version. This is not to be confused with the very amusing "Taff Wars" videos; these are amateur YouTube Anglo-Welsh spoofs, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPM1v2nUkWA.  Star Wars- Gobaith Newydd, will not be on the big screen, but it will be broadcast on S4C. The cast will include some famous names as voice actors including Rhys Ifans, best known for Notting Hill, and Mark Lewis Jones who played a supporting role in JJ Abrams' sequel trilogy. I'm hoping this will be a better quality production than previous ones that switch language. This is not the first time Star Wars has been dubbed into other languages. I recall watching a German version as a child on Dutch TV. Dubbing used to mean that the viewer was put off by the fact that the shape of the actors' mouths did not match the speech they were hearing. This must be a particular problem for the hearing-impaired who have to lip-read. These days modern video editing should be able to manipulate the visuals to change the actors' mouths so that they sync with their dialogue. This has been a major news story, but should it really? All the Star Wars movies have been dubbed before; into German, like I said, but also French, Spanish and Japanese. I suppose the novelty comes from the fact that Welsh is not a world language and is in fact only spoken in Wales, with a few clusters in the diaspora, especially in Argentina and the USA. About a million people speak it as a first language, but probably at least that many speak it as a second language, including myself although I'm very rusty after all these years in Oxford. Welsh language education is pushed very vigorously in Wales, helped by some negative pressure that I don't approve of, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/10/cvd-is-ruining-wales.html.

The franchise has been dubbed into other smaller local languages like Swedish and Czech. (Amusing fact: If it ever gets a Norwegian one then Yoda's strange dialect will make sense because Norway's language has an object-subject-verb construction too.) This Welsh language version must come with challenges, the same ones faced by the writers of the "Anglish" script, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2020/03/star-wars-in-anglish.html. There are some terms in Star Wars that are unique to the franchise such as "droid", meaning an intelligent robot. They can't just use the same word droed, because that means "foot". They might just have to fall back on robot, which is an English loanword. We'll see. The notion of Star Wars in Welsh is completely canon. The story is set a long time ago in a galaxy far far way. Even though most of the characters are physically identical to humans, probably though some kind of parallel evolution, they are technically aliens and would not really be speaking the language the viewer hears. They primarily speak "Galactic Basic", a lingua franca that emerged out of the native tongues of Coruscant and the other "core worlds". Any human language can be substituted for that in the script for the convenience of the filmmakers and the comprehension of the audience. I look forward to watching this, only on Iplayer seeing as I don't live in Wales. I intend to keep the subtitles off and see how much I can still understand.

It IS Possible

 
MH370 is not the world's only missing aircraft; in fact I've also covered the story of Amelia Earhart closely, see background link below. Another one lost was Pan Am Flight 526A. This was a Douglas DC 4, like the one in the illustration, with sixty-four passengers and five crew that took off from San Juan, Puerto Rico en route to New York City on the afternoon of April the 11th 1952. Shortly after takeoff one of its four engines failed. The pilot turned around to do an emergency landing at the airport and straight away another engine shut down. With only two working engines and the danger of this remainder failing too, the pilot, Capt. John Burn, carried out a controlled ditching. (Ironically, Burn had been co-pilot of another plane that had crashed a few years earlier and he had survived.) Unfortunately the sea was rough and the plane quickly broke up and sank. Only seventeen people made it into the life rafts. Although the fate of the aircraft is not a mystery, the location of its remains was, for over seventy-four years. Now it has been found. A team of scientists from the Air-Sea Heritage Foundation in partnership with the Discovery Channel used underwater remotely operated vehicles to explore the seabed in the area until they came across the largest part of the aircraft; its fuselage and attached left wing. The wreckage is corroded and partly buried in sediment, but it is identifiable. Some of its Pan Am livery remains intact. It was at a depth of two thousand feet. Their adventure is covered in an episode of the TV documentary series Expedition Unknown. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdrvyllxj71o. There are no plans to raise any debris. Even if this were possible, the wreck has become regarded as a grave, like the Titanic. What this shows it that it is possible to find a lost vehicle in the depths of the ocean. Therefore there is no theoretical reason why MH370 cannot also be located. The difference with Pan Am 526A is that it is in comparatively shallow water close to shore and we already had a rough idea of where it might be. At least the margin of error is far smaller than the 7th arc. However, with MH370 there's an even bigger problem; is it even in the Indian Ocean at all? I doubt it. A number of MH37-tologists have postulated that the remains of the plane are in other very different places, such as Kazakhstan, according to Jeff Wise; the Gulf of Thailand, according to Florence De Changy; or the Maldives, according to Ashton Forbes. At the moment I'm leaning more towards Ashton's explanation, but time will tell. Certainly I have not given up at all on the prospect that the lost Malaysian airliner might one day be recovered.

The Why Files does Elisa Lam

 
I've been impressed with The Why Files' coverage of a number of enduring mysteries that I have addressed myself, for example see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/07/the-why-files-does-pentyrch.html. Now they have covered the mysterious disappearance and death of Elisa Lam. This is a tragedy that took place at the Cecil hotel in Los Angeles, USA in 2013. A young Canadian tourist vanished after being spotted on CCTV in a lift behaving strangely. Her body was later recovered from a freshwater cistern on the roof of the building. How she disappeared and died is still a mystery, see background links below. This is one of The Why Files' "stripped" videos, ie without Hecklefish. Perhaps considering the tragic subject matter it is more sensitive for AJ to address it alone. The Why Files coverage of the Elisa Lam case is fairly good. I cannot really comment much on most of it because it tallies with what I myself have already said; but they do make one or two errors. These mistakes may seem small, but they are crucial considering the verdict on Elisa's demise. There seems to be some contention over whether the water tank lid was left open or shut after Elisa vanished. AJ states that the technician who found the body said the lid was open. If it were open then that would support the official story of accidental death. If the lid had been shut after Elisa had been thrown inside then somebody else must have done it. She could not possibly have shut the lid from inside. If the lid were open the whole time then why did the search parties on the roof not notice? They checked the entire location. Why did the sniffer dogs lose her scent on the top floor? Why did the police helicopters not notice the open tank lid? Source: https://youtu.be/RFijoi8S49M?si=4b3RqwU51XUd4d6I&t=1453. Also AJ states that Elisa's corpse was in the tank for nineteen days. Is this certain? Is it based on a pathology report? Alternatively it could be an assumption; Elisa disappeared on January the 31st and so anybody who believes the official story will assume therefore that Elisa climbed into the tank that same night, thereby causing her disappearance until the day of the 19th of February when her body was found. The Why Files have done a fairly good job on this mystery; and I'm glad they have addressed it, but the segment could have been better.

JET and the Big O

 
In my nostalgic quest for old TV adverts I've found some that are scary: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/03/scary-tv-ad.html, some that are funny and charming: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/04/powergen-bob.html, and some that are moving: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/05/tennents-hero.html. I have now recalled one that combines elements of the second and third kind. There is only one problem; I can't find a recording of it anywhere. The ad is part of a series that was produced for JET filling stations in the 1990's that emphasized community or family values and friendly small-scale service. Its slogan was: "It's a people thing." The central character is a man who runs a JET station on a busy road and has a cheerful extravert personality. He is popular with the drivers who call at his station to fill up. The main reason he stands out is that he adores the singer-songwriter Roy Orbison. He is such a big fan that he dresses like Orbison, including the smooth black hair and thick sunglasses. He even impersonates him, singing Pretty Woman and Only the Lonely while he goes about his duties. The narrator then says that if there is one thing that character thinks more of than Roy Orbison, it is his JET service station. "You may wonder what management think of (the central character's) strange obsession. Well, they prefer Kenny Rogers... JET, it's a people thing!" What I like about this advert is that it gives out the message that a person's eccentricity is something completely acceptable, even admirable. This message is endorsed by an international corporate brand. JET are proud to have somebody working for them who projects that kind of individuality. How often do you get that these days? Almost never, except perhaps with JD Wetherspoon, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/03/wetherspoon-bounces-back.html. Other than that, the trend in service industries is strictly about uniformity and conformity. Public facing personnel are ordered to utter template phrases like "enjoy your meal, please call again". They sometimes are even given courses in the right facial expressions and tones of voice. No wonder hardly anybody notices when we are replaced with machines, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/07/tesco-butlerian-jihad-4-always-ask.html. As far as I'm concerned this is monstrous; and that JET ad from the '90's therefore constitutes a rebel yell. Does anybody else remember this particular TV advert? If you do and you know where a recording of it exists, please let me know.

Ben Emlyn-Jones live at Magic and Mystery Talks

 
I will be speaking at a Magic and Mystery Talks event organized by my good friend Ellis Taylor. My address will be entitled UFOs, aliens and government cover-ups. It’s closer to home than you think! I will be discussing UFOlogy and how information about it is suppressed by the state. Examples can be found everywhere, including in the vicinity of the venue. The event will take place on Sunday the 20th September at 4 PM. The venue is The Ship Aground, Dinas Cross, Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales, SA42-0UY. Booking in advance is essential and there is no facility to pay at the door. The price is just £3, but we're having dinner and if you want that too, together with the talk, it is £20. 
Cancelled, apologies.

RDR to Close

 
Very sad news today, the Roswell Daily Record is in administration and will probably have to shut down. The Record is a small local newspaper that has a regular readership of just twelve thousand, but it is the most famous journal in the world for any UFO enthusiast. This is because on July the 8th 1947 it published an article with the immortal title: "RAAF Captures Flying Disk". In my book, Roswell Rising- a Novel of Disclosure, the main character is the fictional reporter who writes it, see: https://hpanwo-bb.blogspot.com/2016/08/roswell-rising-is-here.html. I have sent review copies of Rising and its two sequels to the RDR. The Record was launched in 1903 by Charles Manson (not the serial killer) and Harvey Bear. Like all print newspapers it has been forced to downsize in recent years due to modern technology and media habits, and has reduced its frequency to three paper issues a week; but it kept going until July 2026. Its current publisher, Barbara Beck, has announced that its assets are in liquidation. There is an ongoing effort hopefully to sell it, but so far this has not been successful. Source: https://nmpoliticalreport.com/2026/07/13/the-newspaper-that-broke-the-roswell-ufo-story-is-shutting-down/. This is tragic. The Roswell Daily Record, for me, is one of the greatest newspapers in the world along with The Light, Nexus magazine and Fortean Times; if only because of its one-off revolutionary coverage of the UFO phenomenon. Surely somebody out there has the will and money to buy it. How about Robert Bigelow? He has the passion and the cash. Bob, if you're reading this, snap it up, mate! I hope somebody does so that this historical periodical can be saved.

New Skinny Bob Videos

 
I've never been terribly impressed by the "Skinny Bob" videos. This viral series was uploaded in 2011 by a YouTube user known only as "Ivan0135". We know nothing about who he really is. Mike Hallowell of UFO Matrix magazine quickly spotted some continuity errors and scale discrepancies in the videos too. The channel includes four short, black-and-white clips showing a grey alien in what looks like a government facility. Other clips show multiple beings walking and running outside a country house. The narration claims that these videos are leaked film reels from Russia dating back to the 1940's, held by the famous Soviet intelligence service, the KGB. There is no soundtrack except the whirring of a projector that must have been added for effect. Source: https://www.youtube.com/@ivan0135/featured. That was all we ever found out though. The source of the films never came forward and the original media stock has never been examined. Skinny Bob was mostly forgotten after a couple of years, but some new footage has recently surfaced that has reopened the debate. This time we have three new videos uploaded to a new channel called "qtecqot"; nobody has worked out what the name means. They were uploaded over a two month period and include a lot of cryptic narration. The implication in the text and the upload titles is that the footage is brief clips of UFO close encounters from much longer reels made between 1942 and 1969. They are highly classified and published under strict anonymity. The sources are listed by name and have unusual tags such as "Tin bird", "taxi", "pace lap" and "virgin". The first and second videos include the projector soundtrack; and the first is a view out of the window of a human military aircraft. It shows what looks like a shiny, metallic ovoid UFO flying alongside. A man can be seen in the foreground wearing epaulets with insignia that looks like that of the USSR. We see a brief scene of a grey alien pointing at some strange markings on a curved metal surface and then it cuts to a similar scene to the first, except this is in colour and dated "1961". There is some Russian language text embossed in the frame; hopefully some Russian-speaker will translate these. You can hear voices on the soundtrack very faintly behind the noise of the wind and engines. There is a spinning propeller visible. The second video shows a closer shot of a silvery UFO, maybe the same one, with markings visible that resemble the ones in the first video. The object is closer to the ground and some human or humanoid figures can be seen in the background beside an aircraft hangar. The place appears to be an airport or airbase of some kind. This cuts to the scene of a fire with black smoke rising from it. There is then a beach with both humans and greys walking around, although this is a short scene in which the frame pans chaotically, as if from a handheld camera in which the operator has lost control. We then see a grey lying on the sand, unconscious or dead. This implies that the fire at the start was from an ET vehicle crash. The video ends with a scene that looks like a continuation of the original Skinny Bob collection. We see a very similar creature, walking around, lying in a bed and sitting in a chair. The third video is the longest, at 2 min 26 secs, and the most interesting in my opinion. It is entitled "interior walkthru (sic) and examination 8mm disclosure footage ufo". The first scene shows somebody shining a torch around a dark room containing objects that I cannot recognize. There are what looks like black eggs, mushrooms, a crystal ball and a dark surface with simple abstract symbols on. Together with the title I gather this is the inside of the vehicle that crashed in the previous scene, or a similar one. The final scene is the most remarkable in the series. We see a tabletop with a notepad and what looks like medical tools on it. A human has placed their hand on it and next to it is a second hand that looks similar to the human's, but obviously is not quite the same. It is thin and only has four digits, including an opposable thumb. These are much longer and thinner than on a human hand. Another pair of hands appears from the top of the frame wearing rubber gloves and places a pulse oximeter on the little finger of the alien hand. To the right of both hands is a panel of electronic buttons or switches. This film is completely silent. Source: https://www.youtube.com/@qtecqot.
 
The quality of the videos is poor by modern standards and about what you would expect from amateur cine recordings in the mid-20th century. Apart from the brief scene in the first video, there is no original soundtrack and they are all in black and white. They match the format and style of the original 2011 Skinny Bob release perfectly. What we are shown appears to be part of a visual report on a crashed UFO and the retrieval of its occupants, Roswell style; although this example appears to be in Russia. There have been numerous UFO incidents reported in Russia, by far the largest country in the world, dating back throughout its history. Most of the best evidence was gathered when it was the central state of the Soviet Union, 1917 to 1991. The collapse of that regime led to a catastrophic leak of KGB files. Its successor, the FSB, has recaptured some of them, but not all. During the 1990's most valuable items of any kind in Russia fell into the possession of gangsters; and these were then touted on the black market. For a few years, anybody could buy a top secret UFO file for the right price; and indeed some people did, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2020/04/russian-roswell-fact-or-fake.html. Therefore it is not theoretically unfeasible for these new Skinny Bob videos to be real. The problem is that without more information there is no way of knowing. Modern AI image creation is now so good that the best of it is indistinguishable from real photography. It is therefore also at least equally feasible that somebody created these videos with an image generator. Photographic evidence alone simply just does not carry the same weight that it used to. There are literally hundreds of images out there in social media similar to Skinny Bob that are proven to be faked; therefore we have a terrible signal-to-noise ratio problem. If we are seeing something real now then the publisher, through no fault of their own, is the ultimate little boy who cried wolf. Unless the creator comes forward and demonstrates what they did; or the person who found this secret movie footage goes public with the corroborating evidence, forensic examination of the reels or official documents etc, then this mystery cannot be solved.
