fact or fiction
Is it science fact or science fiction? Futurism presents both sides to determine the truth.
The end of the world
That’s how the REM song went and that’s what the Mayans predicted for 2012. You remember that, don’t you? We were all on the edge of our seats on December 21, 2011. Waiting for the end of the world, waiting for the meteors, earthquakes, tsunamis for the end of our world.

The Bunker Hole
Today we are going to the dark side, Sarah insisted that I go to experience it. I and Sarah were the only two going but I’m not gonna lie, I was scared shitless. In the bunker, there’s a wheel on the outside that can only be opened on the outside. We have an alarm the sounds when someone is opening the door and we only open the door twice a year to gather notes. The other side is the normal world, the world we all know. We only go to this site to get supplies. We are in a cross between worlds, no one truly knows who created this place but we are here and we call it The Bunker Hole.

UFOs I Have Seen
I've seen plenty of UFOs, starting when I was 12, and saw the Catalina lights, in a row one minute, stringing itself into a spinning circle the next, and disappearing since we were taking a cruise to Catalina, and Ensenada, Mexico. In Spain, I saw a UFO when I was in Muros, Galicia, at the beach sitting in the sun when I saw something in the sky that didn't look like a plane, but like a ship. The term "cargo ship" popped into my head, I sat there thinking, where did that come from. This was many years ago, when I was on vacation visiting cousins.

New York Times and Ufo: new scoop coming?
I don't know if you've seen it, I knew, but in the past few hours an indiscretion has begun to circulate in the ufological world: that the New York Times is preparing to document the existence of a government program to recover Ufo-crash findings. I don't know if it's the usual (unfortunately) false alarm, or not. If nothing else, the NYT in 2017 disclosed the famous statements by Luis Elizondo and it is possible that it now has a privileged channel with certain environments.

UFOs: Road to a 'false-flag' alien invasion?
In April 2020 the United States Department of Defence authorised the release of three videos taken by US Navy pilots that seem to depict airborne, heat-emitting objects with no visible wings, fuselage or exhaust, performing in ways no “known” aircraft could achieve.

A reverse Cinderella story
I woke up to the sound of trumpets blowing that morning, this is when things really changed for me. My handmade came and dressed me and quickly ushered me to my father’s court. By the looks on everyone’s face I knew something frightening was happening. Then I saw them, the Portuguese trader and his interpreter standing in front of my parents. I took my seat next to my father, my father nodded his permission to the man. The man said “ I am here to establish a trade relation between our two peoples” “what type of trade do you speak of sir?” I could tell even then what my father was thinking “here comes one of these no good portuguese slave traders”. The man said, “gunpowder and horses in exchange for slaves” “ I will not give my own people away to a life of tyranny in exchange for wealth,” My father said. Then the two men left just like that! Well my mother said sighing I bet that won’t be the last of them, and she was right.

Orwellian Times ~ 2020 Where is Neo?!
When humanity is at its the pinnacle of change, which way do we decide to go. War is peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength. Some of you all might be familiar with these words from the world famous novel, 1984. He speaks of a time when the world is under a one world order control, dissonance, fear, obidience and even the essence of humans when they are afraid of their ruler. Well, let’s just say a people can be controlled if they are indeed dependent upon one source. Why do we as humans stay co-dependent, why do we not break from the grips of control and love truly free?

What is a Witch?
Language evolves over time to fit the needs of the culture that speaks it. Every time a new idea or concept enters that culture, the language changes to embrace it. As time progresses old ideas might fall by the wayside, and the words once used to describe them find new or different meanings. Tracing the definitions and meanings over the years as they spread from one culture to another is a bit like examining the fossil record, showing the full development of a word from what it is today to what it was hundreds of years ago.
