The Mysterious: Black Knight Satellite
Strap in, readers. This month’s mystery brings us back into Earth’s orbit to examine an object there. According to some, this object is an extraterrestrial satellite used to monitor mankind.

The Unsolved: Alberta Jones

Close Encounter: Valensole
This month’s Alien Post™ comes to us all the way from France - our first trip to the country! Though Valensole has come to conjure thoughts of flying saucers in the heads of those in-the-know about UFOs, this case is surprisingly underreported.

The Mysterious: The Lost Cosmonauts
For this month’s mystery post, we’re heading back to Conspiracy Land. History will tell us that Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet astronaut, was the first man in space - but what if this was a well crafted lie?

Bundy: Lonnie Trumbull (Suspected)
For our next post, we jump forward nearly five years from Ann Marie Burr’s disappearance. This case is also quite different from Ann Marie’s in many ways. First, two young women were attacked at the same time. Second, the attack occurred in their home and they were not taken from the premises. And third, there …
Bundy: Ann Marie Burr (Suspected)
Our first post in this Bundy series is going to focus on what many consider Bundy’s likely first victim - Ann Marie Burr. The Burr case is also probably the most heavily covered and investigated of the fourteen we’re going to cover for this series. Each case could be its own deep-dive book, so we’re …
