Found the other Robert Temple - definitely not the same bloke. Just weirdly coincidental that I was looking at his book on hypnosis a couple of days ago, then this news story about his hypnotist namesake appeared!

DJI, manufacturer of the most popular consumer drones, has removed many of the restrictions from its apps. Previously, you had to apply to DJI to unlock large areas around airports and other sensitive sites. Now drone pilots will find themselves blocked from takeoff in only a limited area...

BBC News - Bogus nurse stole medical records from Fife hospital https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-67557195

Has anyone found an actual source for the story then? My own (light) research suggests Les Dawson last performed at the Sunderland Empire on Feb 3rd 1990, in the panto Jack and the Beanstalk. Not "his show" as the book suggests - though this would explain the 'large party of schoolchildren' it...

I've been following him on Twitter (and occasionally interacting) for a few years. He's doing a fantastic job. I think he is working with AFU and so his scans end up on their archive.

A post about the article (if it doesn't get merged with this thread): https://forums.forteana.org/index.php?threads/bbc-news-on-edinburgh-fortean-society.70830/ The article's here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-67144657 I really ought to remember to come along!!

Or perhaps Edinburgh Fortean Society on BBC News, depending on how you feel. Now read on.... Nice one @gordonrutter :cool2:

The Chicago Inter Ocean, 29 Sept 1907, p1

I saw this shared by Uri Geller today. One valid question someone asked him in response was how a US spy satellite managed to get side-on footage of a plane.

Good summary but I'm not sure I would trail it with the statement "his aircraft was found at the bottom of the lake"! :confused:

@DrPaulLee I take it the clipping I shared above isn't the story you're looking for then, or was it a clipping you'd already seen? It seems like a good match: Turbus Road, poltergeist, 1980.

Some pics I generated of Charles Fort with a new AI tool I'm trying out.

Could be smarter than that, using a device like the Flipper Zero radio frequency hacking tool (or one of the several similar devices that has become commercially available in the last few years). This reminds me strongly of the spate of airliner PA systems being taken over in the same way in...

I was lucky enough to have a walk around the whole bunker in 2019 (on open days they normally just let you into the operations room). The place is amazing and very big. At the time it was supposed to be opened as a museum this year or next, but from the video it looks like work hasn't...

It was intended to be flippant. People born between 1983-1993 know what acid rain is. We were brought up on a diet of acid rain and ozone holes. Every children's book and TV show drummed that stuff into us. Our parents had "The Gaia Atlas of Planet Management" on their bookshelves. We were...

The founder is, in fact, turning 40 next month (according to Google), at which point he will doubtless see the error of his ways. As a 30-something myself, I see no harm in this, and have just ordered some weather balloons and a big box of sulphur to do my own geoengineering.
