Bestselling author Max Hawthorne, aka the Prince of Paleo-Fiction, has given up his lucrative writing career, at least temporarily, after several alien encounters he captured on a trailcam. In the first half, he joined Richard Syrett (Twitter) to tell his visitation story. Hawthorne prefaced this story with an account of seeing an inexplicable winged creature in the road near his home in a forested area in Bucks County, PA. in November, 2016 as he was driving his daughter home one evening. He described the creature as looking like a homunculus with insect wings, and his daughter declared it to be a "fairy." Subsequently, he set up a trailcam on his property to see if he could get footage of this anomalous creature. And while he believes he did capture some brief images of it, he also managed to record what he concluded may be a "Reptilian humanoid" (see video still).
The initial image, he said, was an energized, swirling fog, but when he added contrast, it began to take on a humanoid shape. Hawthorne, who will be making the entire footage available as a pay-per-view via his website, said he detected a grimace on the entity's face as if it suddenly knew it was being recorded. Its head was conical-shaped with a large skull. Further, he said it appeared to have sharp teeth, a heavy brow ridge, and tubercles like the scales of a dinosaur. Hawthorne also touched on telepathic communications he received from the Reptilian, which took the form of brief phrases, as well as how, in some of the video footage, it seemed as though he might have been peering into a kind of portal where other entities were coming through.

A new investigation into the decades-ago death of US journalist Danny Casolaro is explored in Netflix's American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders. Two producers behind the series, Christian Hansen and Zachary Treitz, appeared in the latter half, to detail how Casolaro was digging into "the Octopus," a hall-of-mirrors conspiracy involving hidden surveillance, unsolved murders, and much more. Casolaro had been getting ready to go public with his investigation of the Inslaw case, concerning a software manufacturer who sued the Dept. of Justice for stealing their software-- the software had been modified with a "back door" that allowed for secret data mining and surveillance. This was supposedly tied in with the 1980 "October surprise," in which Iran allegedly held back American hostages to help Reagan win the election.
While Casolaro's 1991 death was ruled a suicide, many believed it was a murder, and there were numerous unexplained additional deaths among the figures he was researching. One of Casolaro's sources, Michael Riconosciuto, a fascinating character, is featured in the Netflix documentary, with Hansen & Treitz picking him up from prison (after he served a long sentence) and interviewing him over a long drive in the desert. In his research, Hansen ended up mirroring Casolaro's obsessive quality as he delved into and deciphered Casolaro's notes over more than a decade. "I started out as a happy-go-lucky photojournalist...[but when] I stumbled on the story of Danny Casolaro and started learning about the CIA's involvement with drug dealing...I was so appalled I had keep to pushing on to either disprove these allegations...or come to terms with them," he revealed.
