A possible connection between the JFK assassination and the UFO phenomenon, the true history of magic, and an incredible Near-Death experience were among the topics covered on Coast to Coast AM this past week. Meanwhile, here at the Coast website, we brought you stories concerning a number of scientific studies connected to the paranormal, a pair of spooky ghost videos, and the tale of an Australian woman who is certain that aliens abducted her ducks.
One of the more intriguing theories surrounding the JFK assassination is that it was somehow connected to the UFO phenomenon. On Tuesday night's program, author Mike Bara discussed his exhaustive research into this possibility and posited that Kennedy's decision to go to the moon was actually a bid to retrieve ancient alien technology that could be found there. As one can imagine, JFK's quest did not sit well with the 'powers that be' who aim to keep the UFO phenomenon a secret, Bara mused, which ultimately led events that took place on that fateful day in Dallas back in November of 1963.
A pair of studies connected to the paranormal made news this past week, beginning with the latest twist in the Shroud of Turin saga. In a newly-published paper, forensic scientists tried to match the image on the cloth with how actual bloodstains from a crucified person would develop. The end result was a determination that the infamous image on the Shroud was likely a fabrication. Meanwhile, scientists looking at the Atacama 'alien' study from earlier this year issued a review of the endeavor and lambasted the researchers behind it for both faulty science and questionable ethics.
