J. Posadas, the Trotskyist Who Believed in Intergalactic Communism - The Wire Science
Posadas (1912–1981) is one of the most famous – and ridiculed – of Trotskyists, notorious both for the cults he named after himself and his claim that UFOs were evidence of communist societies in other galaxies.
For A.M. Gittlitz, author of a new book on J. Posadas, this ironic veneration of the Argentinian Trotskyist also has something to say about our political moment. In times in which it's hard to believe in the future, Posadas's wild optimism appears as a caricature of an earnestness and sheer sense of belief now almost lost to us.

He stacked them up on the shelf when he needed a backdrop for a TV interview. “I think they were out of focus,” he says. Bartholomew was being interviewed about his book No Māori Allowed . It’s about the recent and shocking history of racial segregation in Pukekohe. He finds a copy on the shelf somewhere and gives it to me.
Across the years he’s written about American anti-immigration sentiment, UFOs, hauntings, and cryptids. He’s investigated the Amityville Horror, visited Cuba to debunk sonic attacks, and studied shrunken heads in Sarawak. He’s also the one of the world’s foremost experts on “mass psychogenic illness”.
RECAP — U.S. confirms UFO videos are real. Does this mean aliens are too? | Video | Kids News
On Monday, the U.S. Department of Defence officially released three videos of UFO sightings that were originally leaked in 2017.
In a press release, the department said it wanted to "clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real.”
However, officials stressed that the UFOs remain “unidentified,” meaning they still don’t know what the objects are.

True alienation: when a person of color tries to fit in with UFO enthusiasts | World news | The
The talk with the older student validated a curiosity first sparked by a walk to school about five years prior. On an empty road in Cristo Rey, a lower-middle class, industrial neighborhood in Santo Domingo, a ball of light the size of a car tire appeared about 80 to 100 feet above him. It pulsated, moved steadily, horizontally, away from him, then vanished.
"I was paralyzed for like 30 seconds. I didn't understand what it was. I was so scared," he told me. "I didn't tell anyone because no one would have believed me." He marks that day as one that changed him forever. "I started looking up all the time, looking at the sky," he said.
A Word about Those UFO Videos - Scientific American Blog Network
It’s not that I think they’re actually aliens. It’s not even that I think they’re unexplainable, or that they’re obviously some particular thing or other. And although science communication experts frequently debate the effectiveness of debunking as a strategy, that’s not the source of my reluctance either. It’s because for an astrophysicist like me, there’s very little motivation to do it.
You might be surprised at this. I’m a scientist! I want to know how things work! I am interested in mysteries, and this is a mystery about space, right?
