GoldStar Award

Daniel Brenton has passed on the Book of Thoth's forum GoldStar to me:

Fellow THoThians --

The time has come to bequeath (surrender?) the Prestigious GoldSTaR award.

The designee is a writer of humor, warmth, is just off-center enough to be endearing, and not so far out in left field to be an enigma (a perfect fit for these forums, don't you think?)

The recipient is our favorite skater-on-the edge:

REGAN LEE!

Thank you Daniel! Now off to polish the star so it gleams brightly through the night. . .

You are very welcome. It was a gas -- and a complete surprise -- when Jeremy Vaeni gave me the honor a few weeks back.

All the best,

Why the name Orange Orb?

I have had many UFO sightings and experiences, which began in childhood. One sighting in particular was dramatic enough -- it was the one that started me on this path -- and was the inspiration for the title of this blog:

In the 1980s I and my husband observed a craft, lit from within. It appeared to follow us for some time; it, in fact, appeared to be waiting for us and responded to my thoughts. It was intelligent; intelligently controlled. Whether that control came from within or without, I don't know. I don't know if the orb itself was sentient (I had a feeling it was, somehow) or the orb was just a tool used by other entities. Possibly those entities were human; that I don't know. Missing time accompanied this sighting, as did dreams that followed that were very scary -- so much so I sought out a therapist to deal with the severe anxiety caused by the dreams. The dreams:

I'm standing in a brilliant beam of white light, so blinding I can almost see through things. I can't move, no matter how hard I try, and I am trying with every single cell, every nerve, all my will, but no use. Above me is something metallic, dome or round shaped, covering much of the sky. I am furious for my husband is up there, and I demand of "them" to tell me where he is, let me see him, and, answers! I want answers! But they don't care, and keep me frozen inside this beam.

I have written about my UFO experiences at length on-line and in print, and have discussed it on various podcasts. Sites like UFO Magazine, UFO Digest, Future Theater's podcast with Bill and Nancy Birnes, and my blog Saucer Sightings, among others, contain more about the "orange orb" sighting.

Interdimensional Universe: The New Science of UFOs, Paranormal Phenomena and Otherdimensional Beings

by Philip J. Imbrogno

Despite Imbrogno's "scandal" -- he lied about his credtionals -- his ideas are worth considering. While not new ideas at all, they are still considered fringe by many inside the fringe itself. No, I'm not condoning Imbrogno's lies, I'm s...
