	Fortean Times - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fortean Times is a British monthly magazine devoted to the anomalous phenomena popularised by Charles Fort.
		The magazine was founded by Bob Rickard as The News in 1973 in order to continue Fort's work, renaming it Fortean Times in 1976.
		Its official website tracks Fortean news stories, holds a small archive of articles and photographs, and supports a busy message-board for discussion of Fortean topics.

	s m u g - back issues
		Fortean Times, on the other hand, perhaps because it has the luxurious benefit of perspective, presents this information with just the right degree of restrained British jocularity.
		See, Fortean Times, instead of reading like the sociopathic rantings of a street-corner prophet, couches its facts in a distantly amused envelope - not mocking, but friendly and open-minded.
		The editors shrewdly realize that the best way to infiltrate the general public is by passing off their astounding tales as bite-sized, ain't-it-weird, end-of-newscast anecdotes, and so the bulk of their material comes from those oddball news stories tucked in the creepy recesses of newspapers around the world.

	Immanuel Velikovsky
		Immanuel Velikovsky in his 1950's book Worlds in Collision proposes that many myths and traditions of ancient peoples and cultures are based on actual events: worldwide global catastrophes of a celestial origin, which had a profound effect on the lives, beliefs and writings of early mankind.
		Velikovsky did make mistakes, but his key proposal, that in historical times mankind witnessed global catastrophes of cosmic origin, endures with increasing numbers of organisations and people investigating his work.
		The SIS was formed in 1974 in response to a growing interest in the works of modern catastrophists such as Dr Immanuel Velikovsky, stimulating controversy in the fields of cosmology, geology and ancient history.

	Fortean Times Magazine Reviews at Shopping.com
		"Fortean Times"- it refers to Charles Fort, a turn-of-the-century researcher who applied scientific technique to strange and unusual phenomena.
		Although an intelligent scientific journal, "Fortean Times" usually delivers in a manner easily understood by the layman.
		My only complaint, journalistically, is that "Fortean Times" occasionally leaves too many unanswered questions, and fails to come close exhausting some topics.

	Letters to Fortean Times
		Fortean Times magazine was established in 1973 to continue the work of Charles Fort.
		People will often feel inspired by an article to write of something that happened to them that they haven’t told anyone about for years, even decades, out of fear that people would think them mad or silly.
		With permission from one of Fortean Times editors, Paul Sieveking, here is a collection of some of these letters published since I began purchasing the magazine in 1997 (except for the Sept 98 issue [FT 114] which I never received, and the April 2001 [FT145] issue which appears to have been borrowed by

	Rickard, Bob. Interview with Bob Rickard editor of Fortean Times
		He died in 1932 actually just as Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle was coming into being, and that would change the nature of physics.
		What he was interested in too was not just if you like, the anomalous information, strange happenings, people bursting into flames, frogs falling from the sky, but also the way in which scientists and other orthodoxies kind of defined reality around us.
		But, the one thing it didn’t have is the kind of sinister overtone that it has got today.

	Signs of the Times Supplement - Fortean Fire
		Laura examines the possibility of time loops, at the cyclic appearance of cataclysms in the geological and archaeological record, and at how the ancients, prior to the imposition of the monotheistic religions, saw the world in terms of recurring cycles.
		The cyclic vision of birth and death, of periodic flood and fire cleansing the earth, leading to a renewed earth, moving in a spiral with each loop repeating the dynamics of the prior loop, was displaced by a vision of linear time with definite starting and end points of time and creation.
		This time the flames were coming from a layer of papers between the bedsprings and mattress.

		Over the years since then it has got more glossy, but it still never ceases to amaze me. This latest issue is no exception.
		The main article in this issue is a long profile of Sci-Fi legend Philip K Dick, detailing both his place in Fortean literature, and also his influence on current Sci-Fi cinema, particularly with reference to the latest blockbuster "Minority Report".
		Impressively, FT has garnered opinions on Dick from most of the big names in Brittish genre fiction, and some of them are very forthright in their views.

		Such grisly anecdotes are the very spice of life to Simpson who has recently compiled some "fairly ghastly" examples of man eating man for his book "Cannibalism and the Common Law".

		Their most recent releases - the deeply affecting, hypnotic tonal shifts of Time Machines, Astral Disaster's cosmic waves, gently lapping at the shorelines of infinity, and the crackling, aetheric, melodic electronics on Musick to Play in the Dark, Vols 1and 2 - can all be recommended unreservedly to those with more precarious musical tastes.

		The work can often be intricate, intense, disturbing and delightful, sometimes all at the same time, and is largely produced by people with no formal training or contact with the mainstream art world.

		There are many other Fortean groups, as well, but it is worth noting that Fort opposed the idea of a Fortean Society.

		I can also differentiate it from Fortean tradition, as past editor of INFO Journal originally published/edited by the Willis brothers.
		Humor certainly has its place in Fortean tradition, although Fort's humor was distinctly different from that displayed in Fortean Times.
		His ordinarily was directed at skeptical scientists, not at silly people who go around muddying up the waters.

		Commercial magazines - one of which I suppose we now are - have to fund what they do by sales and taking in advertising.
		That said, it is highly likely that dubious ads will get past the fence from time to time as they have done in the past.

		You may have always suspected it, but now you have proof.
		For the past 24 years the Fortean Times (named in honor of Charles Fort, legendary skeptic and patron saint of the inexplicable), has been scouring the world's newspapers for accounts of the strange in all its multifarious manifestations.
		And while some sources are highly questionable--it's not likely that Israel's Mossad is slipping quick-acting aphrodisiacs into Egyptian chewing gum, no matter what some Cairo scandal sheets say--the book sports enough solid info (including photos!) to make you think that there is probably more in heaven and earth than is dreamt of in your philosophy.
