It's My Birthday!

Happy Birthday To Me!

Yes, as I am wont to say now and then, sometimes it is all about me, and March is all about me because my birtday is the 14th, and I celebrate all month long. Everyone should celebrate their birthdays all month long!

Lots of very cool people born in March, (besides me) -- here are some esoteric (can you spot why?) March birthdays:

Dr. Seuss, Harry Houdini, L.Ron Hubbard, B.F. Skinner, Leonard Nimoy, Christopher Walken, Albert Einstein, Vincent Van Gogh, John Astin, Lucy Lawless, Alyson Hannigan, William Shatner, Louis L’Amour, Patrick McGoohan, Bruce Willis, Edward Everett Horton, Rudolf Nureyev, Frank Borman, Percival Lowell, Douglas Adams, James Doohan . . .

Alexander Graham Bell, Jean Harlow, and James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek) were born on my birthday. Do you know who was born on yours?; March 18, 2008 at 11:24 PM

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.

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...
