Modern Explorer Welcome to Modern Explorer where we explore the unknown and share what we find with you! That spark lit the fire for Modern Explorer. But this is only Phase 1.

🌍 Modern Explorer: Reigniting the Age of Discovery
Modern Explorer is no longer just a platform for seeking the unknown—it’s become a full-fledged tourism and expedition business committed to reawakening the spirit of exploration in the modern world. Our mission is simple but bold: to reignite the Age of Discovery, starting in the heart of the San Luis Valley. The journey began in the childhood of founder Mateo Argüello, raised among the wonders of Ecuador, always driven by an insatiable desire to uncover the mysteries of the world and the universe. But it was a life-changing encounter with the North American hominid (Sasquatch) that shifted the path from past mysteries to living enigmas. As the team grew—especially with passionate contributors like Glenn Norberg, whose interviews, visuals, and field work elevated the mission—so did the community. What started as a search became a movement. We’re now launching Modern Explorer Expedition Tours: in-person walking tours across Crestone and beyond. Guests can experience firsthand the legends, the history, the hauntings, the UFO sightings, and even explore active trails tied to ancient Spanish gold and hidden realities. As we grow, our expeditions will reach deeper into the mountains, ancient ruins, and forgotten trails—combining citizen science, history, and immersive adventure for global audiences.

That moment when you think it's just a person in the woods — until it starts throwing limbs and rocks. Knowing what you might actually be dealing with changes everything about how you move out there.

"One day, the oxen began to roar together, and such a cloud of steam rose from the nostrils that the sun was obscured." This Ute oral account describes floods, draining lakes, cliff-dwelling people, and a world reshaped — long before any archaeologist put a name to it. Some stories carry more fieldwork than they're given credit for.

I always appreciate when others put in the time and effort for a deep investigation and show that with work there are still many mysteries, even within the fields we think are mundane.

Lowell's assistant raised the psychological explanation for the Martian canals — and was dismissed for it. That finding from our research into the Lowell misidentification case matters for every field investigator working today. Psychology professor Terence Hines, in Skeptical Inquirer Vol. 50 No. 4 (July/August 2026), documents how constructive perception drove Lowell's increasingly elaborate canal maps — and how sociocognitive investment kept the error protected long after evidence challenged it.

Why would a hungry bear, just out of hibernation, climb up into trees and bust branches down — for no food, no foraging, no obvious reason at all? Glenn Norberg couldn't discern one. That question is still open.

A 2026 AI acoustic study found a calibration method that lifted killer whale detection precision from 0.28 to 0.98 — and our research identified it as a direct template for beaked whale monitoring, where false positives have long made passive acoustic deployment unworkable in the field. The Ruiz et al. pipeline (arXiv:2609.01792) separates detection from classification and retrains on site-specific noise. That architecture is the transferable finding.

A guest describes watching a silent white orb — roughly 50 feet in diameter — pass barely above the dead cottonwoods along Beaver Creek, so low and quiet that their dogs started whimpering. Thirty minutes after it disappeared down the creek, military aircraft were circling the area.

A mechanic in Waterloo, New York discovered approximately 300 pages of classified WWII POW testimonies hidden in a crawl space — found while clearing space for Halloween decorations in July 2026. The handwritten, first-person accounts from over 120 American soldiers were stamped SECRET and written on fragile onionskin paper, a material mid-20th-century military protocols deliberately selected for rapid field destruction. NARA's Archival Recovery Team has since recovered the documents and plans to digitize them. Documented evidence suggests the spectral imaging techniques now used to recover faded Dead Sea Scrolls text are directly applicable to these pages — and that connection is worth watching as digitization moves forward.

Glenn Norberg and his son Conrad were driving along Highway 50 around 7:25 PM when Conrad looked up and said, "What's that?" — a metal sphere, flying just above the telephone poles, gone before they could get it on camera. Sometimes the wildest sightings happen on the most ordinary errand runs.

A Colorado officer's UAP video went federal — and the light pattern almost explains it, until you account for the silence.

Released September 18, 2026, under the PURSUE declassification program, the footage shows a silent orb at roughly 300 feet displaying red, blue, and green flashing lights. Our research found that color profile matches FAA-mandated navigation lighting for manned aircraft almost exactly. At 300 feet, a conventional aircraft producing those lights would be clearly audible. The officer reported none. PURSUE investigators with access to the full footage still classify the case as unresolved.
