Quite a good issue overall. I gave up on the forum piece about the Peekskill meteor though, sorry that was just nonsense.  |

| Just to take minor issue with the science column, Frankenweenie isn't about how science isn't to be trusted, quite the opposite, it's more about how ignorance isn't to be trusted, especially when combined with science it doesn't understand. |

Don't give up. Read the article slowly and carefully. It's worth the effort because it's the real thing. All the rest of ufology is nonsense. Truly now.  |

I hope the forum piece about celebrity Fortean encounters squirreled away in autobiographies yields some letters, that section was looking a bit bare this ish, with most of the second page too caught up with, er, whatever that bloke was going on about in his missive. |
I noticed years ago bios/autobios often have a Fortean snippet or anecdote. I'm not the letter writing type, though I would contribute to a thread on the subject. |

We used to have a thread on just that very subject - don't ask me where it is, though...  |

Maybe someone who cares can dig it out. |

I genuinely can't find it
I've a feeling it wasn't in 'Chat' and so shouldn't have fallen victim to an auto-purge. |

There's one here which has a few examples - is it the one?
Forteana found in the mundane
It'd be a great one to resurrect. |

| I'm pretty sure there were a celebs and UFOs thread and a ghosts of famous people thread, but not so sure there was a general celeb spookiness thread. |

Two examples of fortean bios/autobios/interviews anecdotes :
I know that Casanova had reported in his memoirs a strange UFO-like encounter. Years before he became famouns, during the night from 31 August to 1 September 1743 (he was only 18 years long and was planning an ecclesiastic career), he was travelling to Roma by foot. After he had bypassed Castel Nuovo (app. 20 km to the north), he was followed by a small pyramid-shaped that played cat and mouse with him for a few hours, and left him only at dawn (around 6 am).
Another example I found very recently : in this month's issue of French magazine dedicated to Japanese anime and manga Animeland, famous mangaka Gô Nagai explains that one of the motives that led him to create anime Ufo Robot Grendizer, also known as Goldorak, Goldrake or Atlas UFO Robot, was his own sighting of a flying saucer when he was a child. |
