Planet X and Nibiru
A ninth planet on a long elliptical orbit, returning to wreck the solar system on a date that keeps moving. The claim has a traceable history: an infrared survey in 1983, a reading of Sumerian texts published in 1976, and a run of arrival dates that have all passed quietly. What was claimed, who claimed it, and what astronomers actually found.

Planet X and Nibiru
A ninth planet on a long elliptical orbit, returning to wreck the solar system on a date that keeps moving. The claim has a traceable history: an infrared survey in 1983, a reading of Sumerian texts published in 1976, and a run of arrival dates that have all passed quietly. What was claimed, who claimed it, and what astronomers actually found.
Ancient Astronauts and the Anunnaki
Cuneiform tablets read as a record of visitors, and megalithic stonework read as beyond the reach of its builders. The Anunnaki were Mesopotamian deities for thousands of years before they were astronauts. How that reinterpretation was made, by whom, and what Assyriologists and archaeologists say about it.
The Shape of the World
Maps are arguments about the world, and always have been. Flat earth cosmology, the Gleason projection sold as a photograph of a flat planet, and the treaty governing Antarctica have all been read as evidence of something concealed. Where those readings began, and what the documents themselves say.
Suppressed and Forgotten
Free energy, lost technology, and the recurring claim that a discovery was buried rather than disproved. Tesla's papers, patents that were never built, excavations said to have been quietly closed. The pattern is worth understanding on its own terms, whatever turns out to lie behind any single case.
Signals
Contactee testimony, channeled transcripts, crop formations, and radio anomalies with no settled explanation. Material presented as received rather than deduced. Recorded here as testimony and as cultural history, with its provenance, its spread, and its reception set out alongside it.
The Watchlist
Newly surfaced, unclassified, or still moving. Subjects land here first and graduate to a section of their own once there is enough on the record to justify one. Expect loose ends: this is the part of the site where a story is still being assembled rather than told.

The Piri Reis Map and the Coast That Runs Off the Edge
In 1513 the Ottoman sea captain Piri Reis drew a chart of the Atlantic on gazelle skin, and along its bottom edge a coastline turns east and runs off the sheet. In the 1960s the historian Charles Hapgood read that coast as Antarctica drawn before the ice, and an Air Force squadron he wrote to called it reasonable. Map historians read it another way. This is what the map shows, what each reading rests on, and what is still unknown.
