Records previously obtained on Dr. Harlow Shapley indicate FBI was on him like a dirty shirt. Source of Bureau records obtained through the FOIA: drive.google.com/file/d/130YJ...

A 1955 FBI memo documented its relationship with confidential sources working on what was termed a "position finder" in which they hoped to interest the USAF. Previous work from James Carrion & EFR is suggested in the context of our most recently obtained FBI records. www.patreon.com/posts/fbi-in...

Not all comments submitted to Community Development, as solicited by Skinwalker personnel, expressed the desired message. "I am appalled that SWR is calling upon their cult of TV nerds to influence development in my neighborhood," wrote Ray Willis. www.expandingfrontiersresearch.org/post/skinwal...

The vast majority of comments sent to Uintah County, such as those submitted on the letterhead pictured below, reflect a fan base that, at best, blur the lines between science and entertainment, accurate information and misinformation. www.expandingfrontiersresearch.org/post/skinwal...

Well, this does not look encouraging. After emailing our completed quote form to NARA Trust Fund Support - the office that completes #FOIA transactions for the National Archives - an auto email response was received, suggesting processing will not be completed until after the shutdown.

Secret of Skinwalker Ranch cast member Thomas Winterton, son of Utah State Sen. Ronald Winterton, posted a Facebook "URGENT" plea to block a drilling application. He asserts it will forever destroy the opportunity to study purported unique & unexplainable phenomena. www.facebook.com/thomas.winte...

Characters vaguely resembling Erica Lukes @ericalukes.bsky.social & Vanessa Walilko @kalibutterfly.bsky.social have a good time discussing eerie adventures, haunted locations & much more on a Halloween edition of UFO Classified. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E23...

The EFR blog has posts on UFO contactees' potential connections to espionage crimes, law enforcement records about suspicious activity at Area 51, how the Los Alamos Lab ties into such research, & related FBI informants. All that glitters is not UFO. www.expandingfrontiersresearch.org/blog

The UFO genre has a long history of turning the other cheek when political extremism supports saucer stories. The UFO topic was used to covertly promote such political ideologies, according to mid-20th century FBI records, informants & researchers. www.expandingfrontiersresearch.org/post/ufo-foi...

Using ET as a cover story for classified exotic aircraft can be useful, but it can also be handy for avoiding parole violations & related legal problems that would arise for those convicted of sedition who want to continue their propaganda work. www.expandingfrontiersresearch.org/post/ufo-foi...

The DOJ affirmed FBI action in our appeal of its 'no records' response to our FOIA request on "Dreamland Resort." The related post was updated as pictured below & may be viewed at:

The result of the MDR was appealed. DOJ advised today it upholds FBI action. Dozens of pages are withheld in full along with redacted sections of released pages, potentially illustrating overlap of UFO researchers & the IC as shown in the blogpost linked above. 2/2 drive.google.com/file/d/1pDzE...

Just recently, prior to receiving the disc, EFR inquired about the status of the appeal & request. FBI advised estimated completion date was in 2028. It is unclear if more "interim" releases will ensue. EFR will probably again appeal withheld records. Image below is latest response letter. 5/end

An initial review of Esalen records most recently posted & provided to EFR, as shown below, suggest more records were reviewed & redactions were removed, perhaps as a result of the EFR appeal. EFR continues to examine the material. 4/x
September 19, 2025 at 8:29 PM
Meanwhile, FBI posted Esalen records at its online reading room, The Vault. Other researchers may also have related open requests. The records posted (& issued to EFR) by FBI appear to be spurred by EFR requests & appeal, as p10 suggests. 3/x vault.fbi.gov/esalen-insti...

FBI provided responsive records, including a response in Dec 2024. EFR appealed withheld & redacted material in Jan 2025. In May 2025, the appeal was remanded in part for EFR FOIPA number 1583425-000. 2/x
