Aliens Special

Mark Honeychurch - 6 January 2025

Happy New Year! We had so many articles come in for our Alien special that I had to split them up into two separate newsletter issues, and even then this issue is probably our longest newsletter yet. We’ll be back to our normal programming in a couple of weeks, hopefully looking at the Honey browser extension scam, the phenomena of vocal fry and indie voice/cursive singing in modern music, the potential resurgence of an unusual group I covered last year, a review of the recent movie Heretic, and more.

However, for now, Katrina looks into a recent update to the Drake Equation, adding two new variables to the list. Bronwyn and I have visited Share International, and describe both our visits and the history of the group. Al Blenney has been reading a recent UFO book, Imminent, and remains unconvinced by the author’s story. And finally I finish off the harrowing (but not really alien-related) tale of my colonic irrigation, from just before Christmas.
