The Lloyd Pye Podcast

In the latest installment of the Book of THoTH podcast, Jeremy Vaeni spends some quality time picking the brain of Lloyd Pye. For those who don't know, Lloyd Pye is an author of multiple books, fiction and non-fiction, and the holder of the Starchild skull.

The nearly hour long discussion touches on many topics, and primarily focuses on the Starchild skull provenance, testing and mythology. However, they begin with a particularly grizzly discussion of the details of the one and only Bigfoot Lloyd says to have ever seen; The Minnesota Iceman body. He explains exactly why he believes it was a real cryptid, along with some very precise details of the state of the body when he saw it.

From there they go onto the Starchild skull. Lloyd discusses the case from the very beginning back when it was found, and follows it through each phase of testing which has been done thus far. Lloyd says this proves that the mother of the Starchild was human, and the father was not. How far off from human is it?

The Starchild mythology and legend is also dissected. Once again, starting with the local legends from where the skull was found, and then going forward until modern UFO stories are discussed. The similarities are extremely interesting and tell a story all of their own, even without any scientific evidence.

Lloyd finishes the Starchild discussion by bringing the Book of THoTH listener completely up to date on the standing of the scientific evidence, and each of the anomalies, along with an interesting tie in to Roswell. Where does the testing go from here? How long will Lloyd continue to follow the case? What does he really believe the skull is?

They finish with an extremely interesting discussion on the intervention theory, and why Lloyd is convinced it's the correct explanation of our human past mostly based on a very educational discussion of the human genome and it's differences from our distant ancestors. Is it possible that the only way to account for the differences is in a genomic laboratory?

This is a fascinating podcast with an extremely dedicated, intelligent and well versed man. Don't miss this one.

Randi Strikes Back

For those who have been with this blog since the beginning, I always thought it kind of an honor to those whom The Amazingly Fraudulent Randi took the time to single out and ridicule. It was actually a bit of a stated goal of mine to make it onto the News of the Scientific Woo Woo at some point, and I'm here to tell you all that I believe that is about to be recognized. Apparently I have made enough waves in the paranormal community at this point that Randi himself feels like I need to be knocked down a peg.

Yes, Randi himself sent me some hate mail a couple of days ago, and after going back and forth with him for a couple of days I've been informed that our e-mails(or his altered versions) are going up on his website and I shall be one of the features of his "newsletter". He even sent a couple of his minions after me when he got too tired to continue our discussion.

More on this to come as the day of my "calling out" by Randi approaches.

The Future of This Blog Updated

This blog will likely be moving elsewhere, and off of Book of THoTH, over the next month. I'll certainly be giving more details as the situation progresses, but I predict bigger and better things as I move forward.

Thanks for the patience and support everyone.
