While there are over 20 haunted houses and attractions to visit in Northwest Georgia, weve compiled a short list for you to check out this year!

While the excitement of Halloween was diminished last year due to COVID, theres no reason we shouldnt get out and celebrate this year masks and social distancing rules still observed in large groups, of course and what better way to celebrate spooky season than with a visit to a Haunted House (or two)!

Without further ado, heres a list and summary of some of the closest haunts going all out on the spooks this year if youre brave enough to check them out!

Folklore Haunted House in Acworth features not one, but three haunted houses all for the price of one general admission ticket.

The first haunt at this location is The Manor, which tells the story of a once-glorious estate now gone to ruin along with the souls of its former inhabitants. Guests are invited to visit The Manor and find out for themselves just what lurks behind those walls.

The second attraction in the Folklore haunt this year is Asylum 67, which takes guests back to a Georgia asylum from the late 1960s, where reports of illegal activities and rumors of horrors unimaginable run rampant. The asylum encourages you to find out what happened to those who investigated before you if youre feeling brave enough.

The third and final house in this haunt is Overload. Youre searching a space station that went missing in deep space some time ago, and its up to you to explore and find out what happened to the crew although it seems that the ship didnt come back empty-handed.

General Admission tickets to all three haunted houses vary by day leading up to Halloween, so be sure to check the link provided for more information on ticket prices and how to buy.

Tickets for individual haunted houses are also available. Visit Folklores website at https://folklorehauntedhouse.com/ for calendar and trailer access to this years haunts.

Like Folklore Haunted House, Paranoia in Canton offers more than one haunt at their location. The first of these is The Void, the site of a quantum cryonics research facility where some experiments on humans went horribly wrong and we wont spoil the details here, but youll have to crawl through the abandoned place and see for yourselves.

The second haunt is the Suffering, which leads you into the woods of Canton and onto a piece of land haunted by tragedy and human sacrifices. Legend has it a dark witch who kidnapped kids lived in these woods. Are you brave enough to try and find her house to save them? Visit Paranoia Haunted House to find out.

Paranoia is open every Thursday through Sunday at 8 p.m. now through Halloween. For full details and ticket pricing, visit their website here.

Located just 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta, Containment Haunted House is a must-see attraction for horror lovers. Encased in 26 shipping containers, Containment is an event like no other with interactive scares in every room and highly trained actors who bring this fantasy realm to life.

The haunt is redesigned each year to bring the best entertainment to its guests, and 2021 has promised to be no exception. Visit their website here for events, ticket times, and prices.

Perhaps one of the more popular haunts in Georgia, 13 Stories Haunted House features two main attractions. 13 Stories includes two smaller attractions; Vertigo and Zombie Alley.

The second attraction within 13 Stories is Clown Haus Returns; a horror-themed carnival setting run and lived in by evil clowns.

Check out 13 Stories for more information on how to buy tickets for these events, as well as dates and pricing for each. You can also contact them by phone at 770-251-9911.

In honor of their 25th anniversary celebration, Netherworld Haunted House, this year is big for this attraction. When you visit Netherworld, you have access to way more than haunted houses. They also have a monster museum, 4 escape rooms, a gift shop, and more.

The first haunt featured this year is Rise of the Netherspawn, which challenges anyone to escape the rising hordes of demons of the Netherworld. (For more information and a detailed story of this haunt, please check out the website linked below.)

The second haunt featured at Netherworld this year is Return to Planet X in 3D, and promises a mission to Planet X full of mind-melting creatures ripping through the fabric of reality.

You wont want to miss the Netherworld experience even if you dont go for a tour through the haunts. Please note that tickets for events are dated and timed this year. For more information on everything they have to offer, check out their website here.

We hope you found something fun to do in this list of 2021 haunted houses in and around Northwest Georgia! Let us know if you have visited or plan on going to any of these haunts wed love to hear about your experience. Happy Halloween, yall!

Walt Disney World reopens to the public after coronavirus closure

Walt Disney World has reopened to the public but with many new precautions to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

USA TODAY, Wochit

In the decades following American animator and director Walt Disneys death in November 1966, pop culture conspiracy theorists have promoted a myth that his cryogenically frozen corpse is stored away in a hidden vault.

Over the years, the legend has taken different forms online. Some have speculated his frozen body is located under the Pirates of Caribbean ride, while others have claimed Disney named the movie Frozen sostories about his frozen head would stop showing up on Google.

Now, people are asserting that Disneys frozen body will be thawedin December in an attempt to resurrect him.

55 Years After His Death, Walt Disneys Frozen Body Will Be Thawed December 2021 In An Attempt To Bring Him Back To Life, reads a screenshot of a news headline shared to Facebook on Sept. 23 by the page Disney After Dark.

The post accumulated more than 1,700 shares and reactions in less than a day.The same claim has made its way to Instagram, blog pages and YouTube. On TikTok, a video about the article gained more than 92,000 likes in less than a week.

Fact check: Sony Group still owns Spider-Man film rights, despite online claims

But Disneys body isn't frozen. And the screenshot of the headline circulating online originated on a satirical website, which the posts fail to mention.

USA TODAY reached out to the social media users who shared the claim for comment.

The headline first appeared in a Sept. 15 article from Daily News Reported, which bills itself as a fabricated satirical newspaper and comedy website.

Daily News Reported uses invented names in all its stories, except in cases when public figures are being satirized, reads a disclaimer on the sites about page. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental.

The disclaimer is not included in the screenshots shared to social media.

Fact check: Image of bleeding Indigenous person at Met Gala is altered

It's an example of what could be called "stolen satire," where storieswritten as satire and presented that way originally are captured via screenshot and reposted in a way that makes them appear to be legitimate news.As a result, readers of the second-generation post are misled, as was the case here.

Dennis Kowalski, president oftheCryonics Institute a company that cryogenically freezes bodies and was mentioned in the Daily News Reported article- told USA TODAY the company is not bringing Disney back to life.

"We have heard of this rumor as well and we can confirm that it is not true," Kowalski said via email.

The claim that Disneys body is frozenisbased on the theory of cryonics, an experimental process in whichpatients bodiesare frozen with the hope that future technology will bring them back to life.

But scientists have criticized the cryonics industry and researchers say the theory is based on faith, not science.

"Reanimation or simulation is an abjectly false hope that is beyond the promise of technology and is certainly impossible with the frozen, dead tissue offered by the 'cryonics'industry," Michael Hendricks of McGill University wrote for MIT Technology Reviewin 2015.

Fact check: Claim that Biden is withholding benefits from unvaccinated veterans originated as satire

Regardless, Disney's body was notfrozen.His death certificate says he was cremated,the Los Angeles Times reportedin 2003. His ashes were interred at a family mausoleum at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, California, per PBS.

People close to Disney have also refuted the conspiracy theory.

There is absolutely no truth that my father, Walt Disney, wished to be frozen," Disney's daughter, Diane, wrote in her 1972 biography."I doubt that my father had ever heard of cryonics.

Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that Disneys body will be thawed in December to bring him back to life. The claim originated on a satirical website. Disneys body was cremated and his asheswere interred at Forest LawnCemetery in Glendale, California.

Fact check: False claim that Walt Disneys frozen body will be thawed in December - USA TODAY

On Sept. 15, 2021, Daily News Reported published an article saying that Walt Disneys frozen body was set to be thawed in December 2021 with the hope of bringing the famous animator back to life:

55 Years After His Death, Walt Disneys Frozen Body Will Be Thawed December 2021 In An Attempt To Bring Him Back To Life.

Walt Disney was frozen in a cryogenic tank shortly after he died in the hopes that science would one day be able to reanimate his frozen body after a cure for his ailments were found. The time to test that theory has come. This coming December, to mark the 55th anniversary of Mr. Disneys passing, The Cryonics Institute will set in motion reanimation procedures.

This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows:

Daily News Reported is a fabricated satirical newspaper and comedy website. Daily News Reported uses invented names in all its stories, except in cases when public figures are being satirized. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental.

This satirical story hits on one of the most popular Disney legends: the claim that Walt Disneys body was cryonically preserved shortly after his death. This, however, is not true. Back in 1995, Snopes investigated this Disney rumor, and found that the creator of Mickey Mouse was cremated shortly after his death in 1966.

You can read more about the original legend that Disney was cryonically preserved in our Disney legends archive.

For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.

Will Walt Disney's Frozen Body Be Thawed in December 2021? - Snopes.com

A SCORNED wife raided her ex-husband's cryogenics lab and stole the frozen brains of people who hoped to be brought back to life.

Valeria Udalova, 59, and staff from her company grabbed the remains of people who paid thousands of pounds hoping they could be resurrected.

Some of the corpses were from Britain and the US and were stored in Valeria's ex-husband Danila Medvedev, 41, lab in the Moscow region of Russia.

The lab is Russia's leading cryo-storage facility, say reports.

They drained liquid nitrogen from giant dewar flasks containing frozen bodies and grabbed these and some detached human brains, then loaded them on trucks.

Police were called and intercepted the macabre cargo of human remains preserved by Frankenstein technology offering humans the chance to "come back to life in future.

But Medvedev told RTVi:"The police did not catch Valeria.

She left, taking someone's brain from the cryo-storage.

The brains of our neuro-patients were kept separately, in special metal medical boxes."

Both Medvedev, who runs KrioRus, and its ex-boss Udalova, who started a new company called Open Cryonics in Tver region, claim to be the legitimate owners of the human remains.

Police are now examining the rival claims while demanding the feudingex-spouses guarantee the integrity of the frozen corpses and brains as well as the bodies of dozens of dogs and cats that owners wanted to bring back to life in the future.

There are fears the remains may have been damaged in the raid.

Valeria did not do it well, she just cheated, alleged Medvedev, who started a new family with another woman.

There was a risk of damage, it is impossible to transport dewars in a horizontal position.

While attempting to steal our dewars, this nitrogen was spilled, most of the nitrogen was poured onto the ground, added Aleksey Potapov, an expert with KrioRus.

Thehuman remains "began to heat up.

Udalovaclaims she was unfairly ousted from her old company and is the rightful owner of its assets.

"There are a lot of orders from different countries, especially from dog and cat owners, she said.

This is the reason why Medvedev wanted to take KrioRus for himself.

The cost of full body cryopreservation is around26,000, or to save only the brain, 11,000.

Some 82 patients were in the company's warehouse, including 25 foreigners.

Among the brains frozen in the Moscow store is Dr Yuri Pichugin, who died in 2018 after inventing the chemical cocktail which preserves people for posterity in a deep freeze at minus 196C.

A brain woken in the decades or centuries to come could be implanted in another human body, it is claimed.

Scorned wife raids ex-husbands cryogenics lab stealing frozen brains of people who hoped to be brought b... - The Sun

Two Russian cryopreservation companies, run respectively by former spouses, have been in open conflict. This Wednesday, the ex-husbands firm accused his ex of trying to steal frozen bodies and equipment from a warehouse of his in the city of Sergiyev Posad, in the Moscow region.

In 2006, Valria Udalova and Danila Medvedev, who are currently divorced, they co-founded the cryopreservation company KrioRus, which is dedicated to freezing and storing carcasses of people and animals with the purpose of resuscitating them in a hypothetical future. The bodies are placed in special containers, called Dewar vessels, where, according to the company, they can be preserved without significant changes for hundreds of years.

In 2019, other founders of the firm They expressed their dissatisfaction with the activities of the director, a position then occupied by Udalova, and they decided to dismiss her. In response, Udalova registered another cryonics company of the same name, KrioRus. Medvedev, for his part, co-founded a company called Otkrytaya Crionica.

This Wednesday, from Otkrytaya Crionica they denounced that the day before Udalova employees entered a cryogenics warehouse, cut a part of the hangar wall with an autogenous torch, drained most of the nitrogen from the Dewar vessels, they carried them horizontally along with the patients in two cars and tried to carry them away in the direction of a still unfinished cryogenics warehouse in Tver.

Otkrytaya Crionica employees called the police, who succeeded in having the Dewar glasses returned to the company. The damage caused to cryopatients and to the warehouse still to evaluate. Valrias actions were extremely irresponsible, since they are outside the legal framework and endanger cryopatients. Now the question of starting a criminal case will be determined, said one of the founders, Dmitri Kvasnikov.

Meanwhile, Medvedev declared to the telegram channel Podyom that his ex-spouse wanted to take the Dewar glasses in order to develop his new company. In order for Valria to collect money from new clients, she needs to show that she has a warehouse and cryopatients, he said.

Udalova, for her part, explained that while she was still the director of KrioRus, she had formalized the sale of containers with cryopatients to her new company. I have valid contracts for all teams, but the Police demanded to leave them in the previous place to order the documents, he said.

In a comment for the Gazeta.ru portal, Udalova he refused to clarify if there were bodies in the Dewar vessels and if they were damaged while being transported. Our company only decided to move the equipment from one place to another. My ex-husband and ex-founder Danila Medvedev made a false complaint to the Police, that we were stealing our own equipment. [] He wants to take over everything, he tries to pressure me with all kinds of illegal methods, Held.

Whether as a means of traveling through deep space, a life-saving measure, or a process of slow time travel, placing humans in suspended animation is a well-worn trope in genre fiction. Futurama, Star Trek, and the Fallout gamesall prominently utilize some form of suspended animation as a plot device, but never has the concept of freezing one's self and waking up in the future been more ridiculously utilized than in 2006s Idiocracy.

In it, U.S. Army Corporal Joe Bauers (Luke Wilson) follows in the famed footsteps of Phillip J. Fry, Khan Noonien Singh, and Han Solo, on an unintentional trip to the future. Flawed as the premise may be, suspended animation is an ongoing area of research and may one day assist in medical treatments and long-term space travel.

THE CASE FOR SUSPENDED ANIMATION

There are plenty of sci-fi tropes that stretch the bounds of credulity. Time travel, teleportation, invisibility all potentially possible with sufficiently advanced technology, but not something we see a lot of empirical evidence for in the real world. At least not on the macro-scale. Suspended animation, however, is downright commonplace if you know where to look.

Rotifers, a collection of relatively simple microscopic animals, are common to freshwater environs all over the world. They feed on algae and dead bacteria, among other things, and are often preyed upon by the more famous tardigrade. These entirely female species reproduce asexually and have a lot of the same incredible abilities as tardigrades, namely the ability to survive in harsh environments.

In the event their watery home dries up, rotifers undergo anhydrobiosis, a process that involves contract into themselves and slowing their metabolism, perhaps even halting it altogether. In this state, rotifers and similar creatures lay in waiting for suitable conditions to return.

In the normal course of events, the waiting period should be relatively short, a few days or months, maybe a season. There have been documented cases of anhydrobiosis lasting for several years, but those instances pale in comparison to a recent discovery published in the journal Current Biology.

A team of researchers, studying permafrost in Siberia, recovered bdelloid rotifers from ice core samples dating back approximately 24,000 years. The researchers clarified that not all rotifers survive such extended deep freezes. In fact, only 1 in 20 or fewer samples result in successful reanimation. Still, those who do survive are able to exit their anhydrobiosis stage and even reproduce ahappy result of that asexual reproduction mentioned above.

The way in which small animals like rotifers and tardigrades accomplish these incredible levels of suspension arent wholly understood, but part of the process seems to involve the manufacturing of antifreeze-like chemicals which prevent the formation of ice crystals in their tissues. Understanding precisely how that unfolds could unlock an avenue for human cryonics.

Other animals, more complex than the humble rotifer, undergo different types of suspended animation which are nonetheless equally intriguing.

Hummingbirds have a staggeringly high metabolism, requiring near-constant consumption of nectar in order to survive. Their heart rates are so fast they sound less like the rat-a-tat drumbeat were used to and more like an incessant buzzing. Its difficult to imagine an animal more diametrically opposed to the concept of suspended animation, and yet, in the Andes mountains of Peru,these fast-flying birds have adapted to slow down. At least at night.

Many birds, and other animals, enter a state known as torpor when necessary. Similar to hibernation, torpor allows an animal to severely decrease its metabolism in order to wait out lean times. For black metaltail hummingbirds, the lean times come every night when temperatures drop.

As night falls and temperatures decrease, these birds decrease their body temperatures to just above freezing, and their heart rates, usually thrumming at 1,200 beats per minute, decrease to as low as 40.

The common theme, whether you are a rotifer or a hummingbird is the slowing down of metabolism, decreasing the bodys energy needs until you can return to a more active state. Achieving such a state in humans has thus far proven difficult. Though there are some promising areas of research.

WHAT ABOUT US?

The human body is capable of at least temporary suspended animation, under the right conditions. We know this because it has happened, accidentally. The trouble is figuring out how to make it happen reliably.

Emergency preservation and resuscitation (EPR) has shown some promise in extending treatment timeframes in pigs, which are often used as a stand-in for humans in medical research. The process involves pumping ice-cold saline solution into the aorta, dramatically reducing body temperature to approximately 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

At this temperature, brain and body activity slows, buying doctors time to treat injuries. A small clinical trial began at the University of Marylands Shock Trauma Center, targeting patients with acute trauma and a low estimated chance of recovery. The aim is to extend the critical treatment window from minutes to hours. At the time of this writing, the results of that study are not available.

This process of freezing might be useful as a last-ditch treatment option or for those willing to throw in their chips on a chance at being resurrected in the future, but isnt being seriously considered by space agencies as a method of deep space travel. Instead, both NASA andESA are exploring torpor as a potential solution.

Vladyslav Vyazovskiy is part of the team put together byESA to answer this question. He suggests theres probably no biological barrier to human torpor, given that the process spans all types of mammals including primates.

Success in this area will require a more robust understanding of the precise mechanisms in place when animals enter and exit torpor. Today, we dont know whats happening biologically to induce this state, or what the potential impacts might be on humans. Finding answers to these questions could provide significant advancements in both medical treatments and the future of space exploration.

Research is ongoing, and with any luck, we might one day be able to nap through the hard times. What a world it could be. Hopefully, it'll be a smarter world than the one we see in Idiocracy.

Conclusive Study of Cryonics Technology market 2021 forecast to 2027 The Manomet Current - The Manomet Current

Astrophysicist J. Allen Hynek displays a photo of a fake UFO at a 1966 press conference. Image: AP

This summer, a defense report and a new Harvard research project have renewed the publics interest in UFOs. But neither are likely to change many minds.

On June 25 of this year, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a brief report entitled Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. It fulfilled a 2020 directive from the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, chaired at the time by Marco Rubio, which ordered the national intelligence director to publish an unclassified, public appraisal of the potential aerospace or other threats posed by the unidentified aerial phenomena to national security, and an assessment of whether this unidentified aerial phenomena [UAP] activity may be attributed to one or more foreign adversaries. The request came partly as a response to news reports that Navy personnel had, in recent years, filed a number of incident reports involving UFOs.

Since 1947, UFOs have been caught in cycles of periodic, animated interest from government officials, enthusiasts, and scientists. But results are always inconclusive.

In the lead-up to the reports release, both believers and skeptics were abuzz with anticipation. Chatter on social media was lively, and the self-styled crusader for government disclosure about UFOs, former intelligence officer Luis Elizondo, announced he would run for Congress if the report seemed misleading.

In the end, the preliminary assessment proved a mixed bag. Enthusiasts could be buoyed by the governments admissions that most reported UFOs were real objects, that only 1 in 144 could be definitively explained, and that fear of ridicule had thus far stymied witnesses and thereby inhibited effective inquiry. Debunkers, on the other hand, could point to the fact that most reports suffered from a lack of sufficient specificity, that the overwhelming majority of UAP demonstrated conventional flight characteristics, and that there remained a great many mundane explanations for the phenomena. All sides felt vindicated, all could claim victory.

And so, ambiguity reigns. To anyone familiar with the history of unidentified flying objects, this represents a familiar state of affairs. The first modern report of a UFO took place in Washington State in 1947, and since then the phenomenon has been caught in cycles of periodic, animated interest from government officials, civilian enthusiasts, and scientists. During such moments, it always seems that the riddle of UFOs is about to be solved. But the result is always inconclusive findings and a dispersal of interest, leaving few minds changed and everyone returned to their corners to await the bell for the next round. The seeming effervescence of our current moment notwithstanding, its doubtful we should expect anything different this time around.

Its easy to forget that, not long ago, the media was not giving regular updates on UFOs.

This most recent fanfare surrounding UFOsor UAP, as those seeking distance from UFOs outsize reputation now preferbegan in December 2017, when the New York Times, the Washington Post, and Politico all published exposs revealing the existence of a secret government program which, between 2007 and 2012, had investigated UFOs. Then followed viral videos of Navy pilots encountering unusual objects (reported upon in the same outlets); a cable television series on the incidents featuring Elizondo and former Blink 182 band member Tom DeLonge; announcement of the first human-detected interstellar object to enter our solar system (Oumuamua); and a highly publicized, though admittedly frivolous, attempt to storm Area 51 in Nevada. And in July, astronomer Avi Loeb announced the creation of a new project at Harvard University, called Galileo, that will use high-tech astronomical equipment to seek evidence of extraterrestrial artifacts in space and possibly within Earths atmosphere. This follows closely on the publication of Loebs book Extraterrestrial, in which he argues that Oumuamua might be an artificial light sail made by an alien civilization.

Its easy to forget that, not long ago, the media was not giving regular updates on UFOs. On the contrary, during the past two decades, public discussion of UFOs has been limited. But interest in UFOs has cycled through a couple of phases of ups and downs. The 1960s ushered in a revival of the supernatural in popular culture that flourished throughout the seventies, eighties, and into the nineties. If youre old enoughsay, over the age of fortyyou may still have memories of Leonard Nimoy narrating the occult and mystery TV series In Search Of (197782); of listening to interviews with telepathic spoon benders and alien abductees on the daytime talk shows of Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin, and Phil Donahue; or of browsing through the extensive paranormal section at your local public library or Waldenbooks. New Age philosophy, extrasensory perception, exorcisms, reincarnation, telekinesis, astrology, channeling, psychic healing, cryonics, Satanic ritual abuse claims: UFOs were sucked up into this paranormal wave and boosted by the lively syncretism of it all. The rising paranormal tide lifted all boats.

All this publicity surrounding the supernatural also gave rise to a revival of debunking, with prominent figures taking it upon themselves to call out erroneous claims and expose frauds. In 1976 a group of dedicated skeptics founded the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP), headed initially by philosopher Paul Kurtz and sociologist Marcello Truzzi. At the organizations inaugural conference, Kurtz expressed worry about the growing number of cults of unreason and other forms of nonsense. Noting the popularity of related beliefs in Nazi Germany and under Stalinism, he lamented the fact that Western democratic societies are being swept by other forms of irrationalism, often blatantly antiscientific and pseudoscientific in character. Skeptics needed to be decisive. If we are to meet the growth of irrationality, he insisted, we need to develop an appreciation for the scientific attitude as a part of culture. During the seventies and eighties, a number of well-known personalities associated with SCICOPincluding aviation journalist Philip J. Klass, illusionist James Randi, and astronomer Carl Saganagreed and assumed the roles of public myth-busters.

Mudslinging over convictions is familiar to historians of religion, a domain of human existence marked by deep divisions over interpretations of belief. But science has often found itself engaged in similar debates and conflicts.

Over the last fifty years, the mutual antagonism between paranormal believers and skeptics has largely framed discussion about unidentified flying objects. And it often gets personal. Those taking seriously the prospect that UFOs are extraterrestrial in origin have dismissed doubters as narrow-minded, biased, obstinate, and cruel. Those dubious about the idea of visitors from other worlds have brushed off devotees as nave, ignorant, gullible, and downright dangerous.

This kind of mudslinging over convictions is certainly familiar to historians of religion, a domain of human existence marked by deep divisions over interpretations of belief. But science too has found itself engaged in similar debates and conflicts over the centuries. Venerated figures and institutions have regularly taken it upon themselves to engage in what has been dubbed boundary work, asserting and reasserting the borders between legitimate and illegitimate scientific research and ideas, between what may and what may not refer to itself as science.

When scientists engage in boundary work, they are doing something more than saying this is true or that is false. Instead, they are setting up the ground rules for what will be considered acceptable questions, methods, and answers when it comes to doing science. In essence, they are saying, this is a question we may pursue in science or that is an impermissible way of conducting an experiment. And there are any number of examples of this in the modern world.

Take psychology, for instance. Until the middle of the nineteenth century, it was a subject that largely fell under the domain of philosophy. Then, during the second half of the century, some scholars interested in psychology took their cue from the natural sciences and started conducting experiments with animals and human beings. In this way, psychology began to establish itself as an independent social scientific field. That status remained contested, however, and psychologists had to defend their claims of being a legitimate science for decades. Boundary work was essential to this mission. So, when prominent researchers such as William James, Frederic Myers, and Eleanor Sidgwick argued that psychical researchthe study of the power of mediumship, telepathy, clairvoyance, and life after deathshould be included as part of academic psychology, many practitioners bristled. Experimentalist Wilhelm Wundt, Science editor James Cattell, and Harvard psychologist Hugo Mnsterberg were just some of the influential figures to repudiate the phenomena as nothing but fraud and humbug and to bemoan research about them for doing much to injure psychology. Their judgments eventually won the day and, as a result, parapsychology was shifted from science to pseudoscience.

Boundary work has also been evident in policing the how and what of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). When SETI takes the form of astronomers using telescopes to seek evidence of intelligent radio signals and mechanical objects in outer space, it is accepted as a mainstream (though, admittedly, underfunded) academic pursuit. The study of UFOs, on the other hand, is brushed off as pseudoscience. UFO investigation has, consequently, been largely privately funded and conducted by committed individuals in their free time.

This stark divide did not happen overnight, and its roots lie in the postwar decades, in a series of events thatwith their news coverage, grainy images, celebrity crusaders, exasperated skeptics, unsatisfying military statements, and accusations of a government cover-upforeshadow our present moment.

When astronomers use telescopes to seek evidence of extraterrestrials, it is accepted as a mainstream academic pursuit. The study of UFOs, on the other hand, is brushed off as pseudoscience. This stark divide did not happen overnight.

It all started in June 1947, when a private pilot, Kenneth Arnold, reported seeing a group of bat-like aircraft flying in formation at high speeds near Mt. Rainier. He described their motion to the media as moving like a saucer would if skipped across water, and an enterprising journalist had found his headline: he christened them flying saucers. That summer, flying saucers were reported across the United States, and the press began wondering what exactly was going on.

The thought that the objects might have been extraterrestrial visitors did not rank highly on the list of possibilities considered by most people at the time. A Gallup poll published just a few weeks after the Arnold sighting asked Americans what they thought the things were: while 90 percent admitted having heard of flying saucers, a majority either had no idea what they could be or thought that witnesses were mistaken. Gallup didnt even mention if anyone surveyed brought up aliens. Ten years later, in August 1957, Trendex conducted a similar survey of the American public and found that now over 25 percent believed unidentified flying objects could be from outer space.

Three things had happened in the meantime that made this possible. First was media saturation. Newspapers and magazines across the world covered and outright promoted the flying saucer saga, especially after 1949. Then, what had begun as a distinctly U.S. phenomenon soon became a global one, as UFOs began to turn up in Southern Africa, Australia, Europe, and South America. By the mid-1950s, few in the world could say they had never heard of flying saucers.

Second was the rise of flying-saucers-from-outer-space promoters. In 1950, three influential books by pulp and entertainment writersDonald Keyhoes The Flying Saucers Are Real, Frank Scullys Behind the Flying Saucers, and Gerald Heards The Riddle of the Flying Saucershit bookshelves, each arguing that the overwhelming evidence showed that aliens were visiting, more likely than not in response to the detonation of atomic bombs. The authors provided the model for a new kind of public figure: the crusading whistleblower dedicated to breaking the silence over the alien origins of unidentified flying objects.

Third, some Americans were so curious about the phenomenon that they sought out like-minded others. Inspired by the development of science fiction fan clubs and newsletters in the 1930s and 40s, enthusiasts beginning in the early 50s organized local saucer clubs where members could meet to discuss the latest developments. By the end of the decade, some had grown into vibrant organizations, with national, even international followings and monthly newsletters which actively solicited contributions from members about their own sightings and theories.

So, by the end of the 1950s, flying saucers didnt just make news; they had champions who helped make them news. Some enthusiasts, however, believed interest in UFOs needed to be channeled into something more than a hobby or pastime. The Air Force had been conducting its own investigations into the flying saucer phenomenon since 1947. Saucer groups, however, placed little confidence in the military and were especially frustrated by the secrecy surrounding its work. They believed it was time for civilians to seize the day and to begin investigating cases in a more thorough and open manner.

Keyhoe, Leonard Stringfield, Morris Jessup, and Coral and Jim Lorenzen were some of the leading pioneers in this effort. At first, most civilian investigators had to rely exclusively on newspaper and magazine articles for their source materials. By1965, however, the Lorenzens and Keyhoe were directing large organizations (the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization and the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, respectively) with national reach, allowing them to send members into the field to conduct interviews and examine sites. By 1972 the Lorenzens had put together a manual for field investigators, guiding them through the kind of equipment and procedures to use when going about their work.

The first generation of ufologists was buoyantly optimistic. They saw themselves as trailblazers who, though now dismissed, would one day be vindicated when ufology was established as a legitimate research enterprise.

In this way, a new field of study was bornufology, as it was dubbed. That first generation of ufologists was buoyantly optimistic. They saw themselves as trailblazersit was not uncommon for comparisons to be made to Galileowho, though now dismissed by the establishment, would one day find their endeavors vindicated when ufology was established as a legitimate research enterprise.

Major scientific associations and most academic scholars saw matters differently. They considered ufology yet another example of a pseudoscience. While some went about publicly debunking its methods and findings, most academics opted to simply pay ufology no heed.

By the mid-1960s, however, a few scientists working at major U.S. universities had reached a different conclusion. They believed that UFOs were genuine physical phenomena that warranted serious scientific study. Northwestern University astronomer J. Allen Hynek was one such figure. Hynek was the scientific consultant to the Air Force in its investigations into unidentified flying objects. At first skeptical about the claims of witnesses, he grew puzzled by the growing number of cases that seemed to defy conventional explanation.

In the early sixties, Hynek began holding UFO discussion meetings in his home with interested colleaguesat first from Northwestern, but then from other universities as well. The group included French computer scientist Jacques Valle, who would go on to become a leading voice in ufology. Soon, Hynek was referring to the circle as The Invisible Collegea reference to the secretive group of seventeenth-century natural philosophers who had touted experimental research and defied church dogma. The name stuck, and continues to be used to refer to academics who study and exchange ideas about UFOs but do so clandestinely for fear of hurting their careers.

Another ufologist who rose to prominence in the 1960s was James McDonald, an internationally respected atmospheric physicist at the University of Arizona. An expert in cloud physics and micrometeorology, he had begun privately looking into UFOs in the late fifties and joined a leading UFO organization. In 1966 he suddenly went public as an outspoken advocate for the position that UFOs were, as he put it, the greatest scientific problem of our times. Though a latecomer to the scene, McDonald was a constant public presence, making the case for the scientific study of UFOs in press conferences, public lectures, and TV and radio interviews. He railed against what he considered the Air Forces incompetence in handling the matter, and he took it upon himself to interview hundreds of witnesses.

Though widely acknowledged to be accomplished and eloquent, many of his fellow scientists found McDonald to be dogmatic and abrasive. So when it was announced in October 1966 that the University of Colorado at Boulder had agreed to serve as the home for a scientific committee funded by the Air Force to study the UFO phenomenon, McDonald was not invited to serve as a member. Like Hynek and Valle, McDonald instead was asked to consult now and again with the committee, but all three were left out of the groups day-to-day activities and deliberations.

The projects director was nuclear physicist Edward Condon, who had spent decades working in and with the government dating back to the wartime Manhattan Project, which developed the atomic bomb. His involvement with the military, however, hadnt stopped him from criticizing it for being too secretive. After the war, he was also a leading voice insisting that civilian authorities be put in control of atomic energy, and he had to face down accusations before the House Un-American Activities Committee on several occasions. Here, then, was a no-nonsense academic, who was not easily intimidated and despised government secrecy. He seemed the ideal choice to head up this first-ever funded scientific study of UFOs by academic researchers.

The Condon Committee began its work in November 1966. Excitement and anticipation surrounded the start of the project. Ufologists, UFO enthusiasts, members of the Invisible College, the Air Force, and the general public all expressed high hopes that the world would finally have an answer to the riddle of the flying saucers. Their enthusiasm was soon quashed. While some ufologists were asked to make presentations before the committee, word inside the Colorado group was that Condon considered the possibility of alien visitors to be preposterous. Disgruntled insiders reported that researchers were being steered toward concluding that the UFO phenomenon had a psychological explanation.

Condon came to consider his involvement in the study of UFOs the biggest waste of time that I ever had in my life.

McDonald was careful to cultivate contacts within the Colorado project. His personal papers, now housed in the archives at the University of Arizona, show that he received surreptitious updates from Boulder on an almost daily basis. As he did, he became more and more frustrated by what he saw as Condons attempt to stop any serious consideration that UFOs might have extraterrestrial origins. In early 1968 he, along with several people serving on the Condon Committee, confronted Condon with evidence that he had no intention of conducting a legitimate scientific investigation into unidentified flying objects.

The move outraged Condon, who fired the committee members for dereliction of their duties. McDonald went to the media, finding a journalist at Look to write an expos chronicling what was portrayed as Condons incompetent and imperious management of the project. And with that, all bridges had been burned. Ufologists dismissed the work of the committee even before it had released its report in January 1969. McDonald demanded a new scientific study be conducted. The Air Force formally shut down its UFO task force. And Condon came to consider his involvement in the study of UFOs the biggest waste of time that I ever had in my life.

The Condon Committees final report did not mince words. Our general conclusion, it stated, is that nothing has come from the study of UFOs in the past 21 years that has added to scientific knowledgethis despite the fact that around a third of the cases examined remained unexplained. No one was terribly surprised, least of all people in the UFO community. Rather than settling the matter of UFOs for good, it simply escalated the mutual mistrust between believers and skeptics, between amateur ufologists and academic scientists.

Was the Condon Committee a failure then? At first glance, it would appear so. Without question, it fell victim to the political machinations of bad actors such as McDonald. Nevertheless, one has to wonder if any study at the time could have resolved the matter. If the 202021 UAP task force found itself confronted with ambiguities and a lack of information, this was surely even more the case in the 1960s.

And it must be said that both back then and today, there are many people for whom the mystery is the matter. UFOs may well be far more interesting to ponder than to actually solve. And fittingly, the decades that followed saw the rise of the UFO as mystery, with increasingly bizarre stories of alien abductions capturing the attention of readers and TV audiences between 1975 and 1995. Yes, there had always been outlier abduction reports dating back to the 50s and 60s. But now the floodgates opened, and with them a new generation of UFO advocates.

Chief among them were artist Budd Hopkins, horror writer Whitley Strieber, historian David Jacobs, and psychiatrist John Mack: each came onto the scene in the 1980s and 90s insisting on the veracity of those claiming to have been kidnapped, examined, and experimented upon by beings from another world. The ufology of investigating the nuts and bolts of unidentified flying objects gave way on the public stage to these new missionaries who simultaneously played the role of investigator, therapist, and advocate to their vulnerable charges.

There are many people for whom the mystery is the matter. UFOs may well be far more interesting to ponder than to actually solve.

In many ways, it was Macks involvement that signaled both the culmination and end of the headiest days of alien abduction. A distinguished Harvard psychiatrist, when Mack began working with and publishing accounts of abducteesor experiencers, as he called themin the early 1990s, he lent the study of extraterrestrial captivity an air of legitimacy it had been lacking. A five-day conference at MIT in 1992 on the alien abduction phenomenon, followed by a book on the subject two years later, brought him the affection of many in the UFO community and the scorn of many of his colleagues. The Harvard Medical School initiated a review of his position; he retained tenure, but after, as review board chairman Arnold Relman later put it, he was not taken seriously by his colleagues anymore. Claims of alien abduction have continued since then, but one would have to search far and wide to find a clinician of Macks stature who would go on record saying they believed them.

And so here we are a quarter century later, and we are again hearing some rumblings from within the scientific community. Some scientists involved with SETI have publicly called for the interdisciplinary study of UFOs. And now Loeb (another Harvard professor) has announced the Galileo Project. With an initial private investment of nearly $2 million with which to work, the Galileo Project will certainly have access to equipment qualitatively better than what existed in the fifties and sixties. Will this make a difference? Many of Loebs colleagues are skeptical about the prospect. If history is any guide, its questionable a project like this will succeed in persuading diehard believers and skeptics to rethink their positions.

UFOs and the Boundaries of Science - Boston Review

Good news: you heard wrong! With CI, the minimum fee for cryopreservation at CI (which includes vitrification perfusion and long term storage) is $28,000 a one-time fee, due at time of death. And though the fee can be paid in cash, usually a member has a life insurance policy made that pays the amount to CI upon death. A term life insurance policy in the amount of the minimum fee often costs around $30 per month for a person starting their policy in good health at middle age. Funding at a higher level can be used to defray additional costs, including transportation (which is not included in CIs base fee) or even a cryonics standby team to perform rapid cooling and cardiopulmonary support upon pronouncement of death.

Advice from an insurance professional is recommended before selecting a policy.

A person who wishes to become a Lifetime CI Member can make a single membership payment of $1,250 with no further payment required. If a new member would rather pay a smaller amount up front, in exchange for funding a slightly higher cryopreservation fee later on ($35,000), he or she can join with a $75 initiation fee, and pay annual dues of only $120, which are also payable in quarterly installments of $35. (And such a dues-paying member can upgrade to Lifetime Membership at any time, saving $7,000 and future any dues.) Members at a distance may have to pay local funeral director fees and transportation costs to Michigan to be cryopreserved. These payments are not made to CI, and are not included in the figures outlined above.
