UFO crash site to open to public for tours: Roswell NM has long promoted their alleged 1947 UFO crash with a yearly festival but as far as I know this is the first time the actual crash site has been open to the public. These tours won’t start until this year’s festival but Dennis Balthaser’s soon-to-be-competing(?) tour has been going long enough to get excellent reviews on TripAdvisor. And if you can’t make it to Roswell, Exeter NH, McMinnville OR, and Cedar City UT all have their own UFO-themed events (are there more? Tell me in the comments!)

Technology And The Witch: How The Modern World Is Shaping Occultism: nature and in person ritual aren’t going away, but keeping up with coven members via email and with moon phases with an app certainly help things along.

The Pyramids of Giza are near a Pizza Hut, and other sites that may disappoint you: talk about modern life encroaching! I can vouch for the Mona Lisa – you can’t get near it.
