An investigative documentary that dives deep into one of Hollywood’s most intriguing “what could have been” stories, George A. Romero’s Resident Evil hit VOD this past Tuesday.

In 1998, Constantin Film set out to bring Resident Evil, the legendary horror video game, to the big screen. They enlisted George A. Romero, the visionary director who redefined the zombie genre, to adapt the project. But despite the perfect pairing of horror’s greatest minds, Romero’s vision for Resident Evil was never realized.

Now, for the first time, director Brandon Salisbury’s documentary...

MGM+ has unveiled Beyond: UFOs and the Unknown, a new four-episode series premiering on October 27, 2024, at 10 p.m. Et/Pt.

Following revelations in 2017 of a secret government program studying UFOs buried deep within the Pentagon, many scientists, academics, and government officials stopped wondering whether UFOs were real and started asking: “What are they?”

This journey led them far beyond machines in the sky, taking them down a rabbit hole of alien encounters, near-death experiences, remote viewing, and other seemingly unrelated paranormal phenomena. Using the most sophisticated techniques and searching for only credible evidence, they discovered frightening, perplexing, and eye-opening realities buried just beneath the surface of everyday life.

The answers they brought back promise not only to rewrite our conception of UFOs but to change everything we thought we knew about human consciousness, the afterlife, and our place in the universe.

Beyond: UFOs and the Unknown features Jacques Vallée (Computer Scientist and Astronomer), Whitley Strieber,...

Former Blink 182 member Tom DeLonge is back at it, this time spreading his theories of the existence of aliens on the Joe Rogan podcast. DeLonge claims that the United States government has a dead alien in its possession, but it's not what you think. Many believe that a UFO crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 and that's where the government got their hands on the deceased extraterrestrial.

The Cefaa (Committee for the Studies of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena) even has a website where photos under investigation can be viewed. Their latest report, as mentioned in Leslie Kean's HuffPost blog, concerns a series of photos taken in April 2013 at a mining facility in the Andes.

Scientists and engineers working at the mine observed what can only be described as a good, old fashioned flying saucer. The object was said to be hovering over the site, making absolutely no sound. The witnesses said it made several maneuvers that demonstrated it wasn't simply floating in the wind. The lack of noise ruled out a drone.

Both of the photos show the object, but in different...
