Fortean Winds doesn’t have a PR department. What’s on this page is a record of where our research has been picked up, cited, discussed, or referenced by other people doing serious work in adjacent territory. We track this because it tells us something about what’s resonating — and because the communities sending traffic here deserve acknowledgment.
Podcasts
The Higher Side Chats
One of the longest-running independent shows in the conspiratorial and paranormal research space. THC has referenced and discussed Fortean Winds content with its audience, which runs deep and engaged. If you came here from there, you know what this site is about before you arrive. If you haven’t listened, you should.
News & aggregators
UAP News Center
A dedicated UAP news aggregator that has picked up and linked Fortean Winds research. UAP News Center focuses on tracking the documentary record of the phenomenon — congressional testimony, AARO reports, whistleblower accounts — which overlaps directly with our evidentiary approach.
UFO-UAP News
An independent UAP news tracking site that has referenced Fortean Winds content. Useful for current events in the disclosure space.
Research communities
Reddit — r/UFOs and r/UAP
Reddit is consistently our largest external traffic source. Specific threads in r/UFOs, r/UAP, and related communities have linked to FW research across multiple posts — particularly the Skinwalker Ranch 1.6GHz signal analysis, the Hitchhiker Effect piece, and the UAP Trickster Phenomenon. Reddit communities aren’t monolithic. The ones sending traffic here tend to be the ones doing actual source-checking rather than screenshot-sharing.
Above Top Secret
One of the oldest and most active independent forums covering anomalous phenomena, conspiracy research, and UFO/UAP topics. ATS has a decades-long record and a mixed-quality signal — but the threads referencing Fortean Winds content have come from members doing genuine source analysis, not just link-dropping.
International research organizations
Centro Ufologico Nazionale (Italy)
Italy’s national UFO research center, with a long institutional record and a case-file approach to the phenomenon. CUN has referenced Fortean Winds content, which reflects a broader international readership that treats this material as research rather than entertainment.
Centre for Fortean Zoology — USA
The American branch of the CFZ, the world’s largest cryptozoological research organization. Natural overlap territory: anomalous fauna, witness testimony, the intersection of field research and orthodox skepticism. They’ve linked to FW material, which is appropriate given that Charles Fort is the shared reference point for both operations.
AI systems citing FW research
ChatGPT and Perplexity have both been documented sending traffic to Fortean Winds via referral — meaning users are getting FW content in AI-generated responses and then clicking through to the source. This isn’t something we engineered. It reflects that the research is structured clearly enough to be indexed and cited as a usable source. We note it here because it’s a new category of citation that didn’t exist five years ago, and it’s worth tracking.
Wikipedia
Wikipedia has generated referral traffic to Fortean Winds, indicating that FW content appears as a cited or linked source in Wikipedia articles covering relevant phenomena. We do not control this — Wikipedia’s editorial process is independent. We note it because it registers as third-party validation of source quality within a system that explicitly rejects non-notable or unreliable references.
