Hi Angel Chuck Billy! What an exciting 10 days it has been with the Artemis II Moon Mission! I’m certain you were supervising closely the astronaut’s safe return to Earth. In fact, I even saw that brief moment after splashdown when the cameras showed a rainbow next to the Integrity capsule. I knew that had […]
Hi Angel Chuck Billy! I’m not sure if you had access to the Artemis II livestream from your vantage point at Rainbow Bridge or on the Moon.

For years Angel Chuck Billy would tell everyone about the Exeter UFO Festival. However, there’s more to the town of Exeter, New Hampshire than just a widely witnessed UFO sighting in 1965 and the subsequent UFO festival that takes place each year over Labor Day Weekend. In fact, Exeter had an even more prestigious visitor […]

Thank you Whitehall, New York for providing Bigfoot and his family a safe place to call home! In 2004, the residents passed a law making Whitehall a safe haven for Bigfoot, by prohibiting the hunting of this shy creature.
