Was at the McMinnville, Oregon UFO conference this weekend. We have a great time and it was very nice to see Deirdre O'Lavery again! Speakers Robert Salas and Stan Gordon were incredible. I particularly liked Gordon's presentation, being the Bigfoot-UFO nerd I am. More on the conference later.

Speaking of conferences, Lesley Gunter writes about her participation in the Wake Up Now! conference for her Grey Matters column at Binnall of America: Three Days of Waking Up.

Tessa Dick's newest is now available: her memoir Tessa B. Dick: My Life on the Edge of Reality.

I review Insight on the Orange Orb Review.

Lesley has a post at Women Of Esoterica about synchronicity and pendulums; I post a comment that mentions even more of same...

Fake and stage violent events continue to be staged in schools. Here's the latest. on my blog Octopus Confessional.

And on my blog Animal Forteana, a couple of posts about the ~~use~~ abuse of animals in war and the titanium fanged dogs promoted as weapon in Osama bin Laden's death.

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...
