A fantastic obituary by Cathi Unsworth, for the legend Roger Burton, who left us just over a week ago. Without Roger and the Horse Hospital there may never have been a Strange Attractor... www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

This is an engaging, important, and ultimately terrifying book – really can't wait to get it out into the world this autumn...

The AAA's aims and actions have never felt more prescient. I wish I could make this - but hopefully some of you can. I have fond memories of astronaut training with fellow travellers on Parliament Hill, and facilitating one of their closing sessions at the 1999 Fortean Times Unconvention.

Good stuff as ever from Tanner Boyle. Smart lateral thinking about some possible causes for the ongoing US drone panic, harking back to one of my favourite UFO researchers of yore, Leon Davidson – of ECM +CIA = UFO fame – while quite rightly asking "where has all the glitter gone?".
