Today is one month after the last Friday the 13 which fell on February 13, 2026. Combine that with Mercury Retrograde and things have been chaotic to say the least.

Friday the 13th is often associated with horror films and the legend of Jason Voorhees at Camp Crystal Lake - the antagonist of the Friday the 13th franchise.

Today many associate the date with the "unfolding" horrors of modern day - increasingly tied to real-world conflicts and environmental instability - all aspects of the closure of the simulation of reality. One of my readers suggested the Doomsday Clock be adjusted again.

March 13, 2026, marks the 29th anniversary of the Phoenix Lights, the most witnessed and documented mass unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) in modern history. Videos

The Phoenix Lights were a series of sightings over Arizona, Nevada, and the Mexican state of Sonora. Lights of varying descriptions were seen between 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm MST, in a space of about 300 miles (480 km).

Thousands of witnesses reported seeing a massive, silent, V-shaped formation of lights hovering at rooftop level. The military denied UFO activity - but witnesses - including people I know- said otherwise. Some have create groups, written books, held conferences, and more based on what they witnessed that night. One of them is my friend Dr. Lynne Kitai.

American businessman, author, mathematician, and astronomer who fueled speculation that there were canals on Mars, and furthered theories of a ninth planet within the Solar System. He founded the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, and formed the beginning of the effort that led to the discovery of Pluto 14 years after his death.

That Mars is inhabited by beings of some sort or other we may consider as certain as it is uncertain what these beings may be.

I always look for adventure wherever it takes me.

Cartographer who voyaged to, and wrote about, the Americas, which were named after him. His exploratory journeys along the eastern coastline of South America convinced him that a new continent had been discovered, a bold contention in his day when everyone, including Christopher Columbus, thought the seafaring trailblazers, setting out from European docks, were traveling to East Asia.

Those new regions which we found and explored with the fleet we may rightly call a New World, a continent more densely peopled and abounding in animals than our Europe or Asia or Africa; and, in addition, a climate milder than in any other region known to us.
