The Puppet Wolves

My latest article for Trickster's Realm on BoA is up now: The Synchronicity of Puppet Wolves.

UFO Semantics, Part One

UFO Semantics, Part One

Either through outright, intentional obtuseness in the case of pathological skeptics, or lazy journalism habits of media people, the question “Do UFOs exist?” continues to be asked. (Variations include statements such as: "UFOs don't exist," etc.)

UFO means unidentified flying object. Unidentified.
We have proof of the existence of UFOs through photographs, video, film, and eye witness reports. A huge amount of data gathered from all over the world.

This data has consistently shown (proven) that unidentified flying objects are in our skies.

What is there to debate? Nothing. If UFO means “unidentified flying object,” and you have a photograph/video/film/report of an unidentified thing, how can anyone who is rational and sane, deny what is in front of them? And what’s in front of them is an unidentified something.

All the rest: assumptions about extraterrestrials, or psychological manifestations of unintegrated mystical experiences, or government mind control via staged UFO events, etc. are just that: assumptions.

Anyone who denies that “UFOs exist” isn’t paying attention, are guilty of making assumptions, play games with semantics and are often disingenuous in their insistence that “UFOs don’t exist.” (as with skeptwoos.)

Orange Orbs

After I saw my orange orb in the 1980s (here in Oregon) I searched for years in UFO books, etc. for something that was similar to what I saw. But I didn't find anything. I still haven't found anything, but I've found things that come close. Of course, it's difficult to get an accurate idea, since all I have to go on are the one or two images of someone's orange orb UFO. There's no way to get a good overview based on that. Still, it's interesting when I find things that sound, and look, close to what I saw.

This one, also seen in Oregon, from the Coast to Coast site. Tehre's a comparison with another similar orb UFO.http://www.coasttocoastam.com/gen/page1385.html?theme=light

This site has several images of UFOs in the Vegas area. Scroll down to the orange image he calls an "orange cheerio."

These images of orbs show different colored orbs, including yellowish orange.

Some of the orbs on these sites date to the 1970s, 1980s. Some are recent.

Fatima: Oracle Cards and Fernandes

I collect Tarot decks, so I had to get this one, the Fatima Oracle cards. I just ordered it today. I'm not crazy about the artwork, but how could I resist; what with my interest in UFOs and Marian Apparitions?

Here's an interesting item from Joaquim Fernandes on UFO Updates from January, 2000. (Fernandes is author, along with Fina d'Armada, of Extraterrestrial
Intervention in Fatima - the apparitions and the UFO
phenomenon I tried ordering the book this past Christmas but Amazon.com told me it was unaviable. I haven't tried too hard since but I'll get around to it soon. It's a book I'm very interested in reading.

According to the item on Updates, the book says that there there was, at Fatima, a

a "fourth percipient" namely Carolina Carreira, whom
describes a "telephatic type of contact with a fair-headed being
of small stature who instilled into her head a repetitive order

Microwaves, beings from above; all very interesting. Vallee of course has written on the UFO/paranorma connection between events like Fatima and other religious apparitions, as have others.

This subject alone -- the UFO/Marian Apparition phenomenon -- is enough to keep one busy!

An Eastern Oregon Tale

I'm not sure what the motive was for the writer here; other than obvious mocking of the UFO phenomena in general. Other than that . . .

I'm posting it here because it has to do with Oregon.

And I suppose it's the still all too typical crap like this that gets written on the topic needs to be pointed out, shaken, and scolded. For whatever it's worth.

UFOs, clerks and domestic discord

By Karen Spears Zacharias

Sunday Round Up of Self Promotion

A few new things at my Bigfoot blog Frame 352.

And at Mating Hedgehogs.

Not much elsewhere, the new UFO Magazine isn't yet out, but should be soon. Look for my article on Daniel Fry, as well as all the other great articles that will be available.

I'll be in Los Angeles beginning Thursday; family wedding. I'll have my laptop but don't know how much writing I'll get done.

However, I am working a lot of various things, as always, including something on chemtrails, referencing Colin Bennett's article on the subject,(Chemtrails and UFOs) for example. My trip to Los Angeles should prove interesting regarding chemtrails. Also: UFO Semantics, or the Semantics of UFOs, something like that. It's a lost cause but I get annoyed and rant about it anyway. You can't "believe in" UFOs, UFOs are not aliens, UFOs do indeed exist, etc. The most convulted "reasoning" about this was a thread on the JREF (James Randi forum) -- something about why are UFOs considered "paranormal?" Nothing of the Trickster like events within many UFO events, or any of that, but a surreal post about extraterrestrials could be out there, but UFOs aren't, no one's proven UFOs exist, ... I dunno. Is it just me?

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. . .

Flash of Light and Wow! Crop Circle!

The Crop Circle Mystery, byline: Lewis Cowen, for the Gazette and Herald. A flash of light, and a crop circle appears, where none was a couple of hours earlier;Winston Keech, a "dedicated UFO hunter" and a Norwegian film maker, Terje Toftenes, filmed the event:

At around 1.35am on July 7 Mr Keech, helped by Mr King, completed the last sweep of the area using a camera equipped with night vision. No formation was visible in the field.

Then it became intensely dark and nothing was seen. But at 3.13am there was a flash of what Mr Keech described as sheet lightning.

It appeared on the video footage and lasted four microseconds. Twenty minutes later, at 3.20am, there was enough light to make out the formation in the field below.

It was one of the largest ever seen. It measured 1,033 feet long and consisted of 150 circles, the largest of which was 164ft across.

For years, witnesses have said they've seen small spheres, lights, and other ariel phenomenon around crop circles. Witnesses have also reported "pyschic" communications in connection with the circles, or, circle makers. I remember reading an article in, I think, UFO magazine about ten years ago, where the crop circle researcher (don't receall the name, but I don't think it was Colin Andrews) who said he had mentioned to a friend, standing alone in a field, something about Hebrew letters. The next day, there was a huge crop circle in the field, with, yes, Hebrew letters.

I know my little theory isn't the popular one, but I'm convinced the crop circles, as with the one reported on here, are the results of some kind of military technology. In my opinion, crop circles aren't made by extraterrestrials, or earth elementals, or inter-dimensional entities. Nor are they all made by Doug and Dave -- who, by the way, surely must be too aged to go tramping about in dark fields with ropes and planks -- or self styled guerilla artists having fun.

I think soon it'll come out that crop circles are man made. It'd be very wonderful if they were the communications of elementals; but I doubt it. It's possible, as with the Contactees of the 1940s, 50s and 60s, that we'll never know the real cause. (I suspect the Contactees were victims of our government as well) but we'll just have to see.

I don't rule out paranormal or ET explanations, but I don't see them as being the most likely.

Pointless Blog Thing of the Day

Lesley of the Debris Field blog posts a lot of blog quizzes. This isn't exactly a "tag" but sometimes I'll post a "useless blog quiz of the day" kind of thing that I've cheerfully stolen from her. So here it is. And guess what, it's quite the New Age symbol, isn't it? (and yes, the irony of the swastika has been noticed, but remember! It used to be a good thing.)

You scored as Ankh, The Ankh is a representation of life. You are inspired by life, and all its splendor, and you feel you are empowered by your symbol. Ankh 100% Biohazard 69% Skull 63% Cross 38% Swastika 31% What's your symbol? created with QuizFarm.com

Scoffing Gone Too Far

From the recent entry on the UFO Iconoclast blog:

(Why no one has wrestled a flying saucer pilot to the ground or no abductee has punched one out while being kidnapped is grist for the passivity of human beings in dire straits, as was the case with Jews as they were being taken away during World WAR II, and in earlier pogroms.)

Speaks for itself. UFOlogy doesn’t need the kind of self-indulgent, faux Dadist exercise crap the writers of UFO Iconoclast (and a few others) revel in.

King UFO Program, Binnall of America

My Trickster’s Realm: Exhilaration and Coincidence, is up now over at binnall of america.

Also on the site is Tim Binnall’s piece Larry King’s UFO Show, on the Larry King UFOs: Are They Real? program on the 13th. The show was just what we’d expect, and it was dismal. I think it inspired many of us observers of the esoteric to comment. (I did: see The Persistence of Chronic Skepticism.)

Tim’s article cracked me up; I almost spilled my morning coffee all over the laptop as I was checking the dailies before work. Tim doesn’t hang back at all, and he’s come up with some precious comments, like calling the program “the festivus” and referring to Michael Shermer as “esoterica’s resident douche bag.” Okay, that’s not mature at all and it’s an ad hominin. Still, it made me laugh. I also loved his calling Shermer a “clown shoe,” that’s a far more creative term.

I agree with Tim’s thoughts; way too many people on the panel, and jumping around from the Phoenix Lights to Roswell to Aldrin’s weird this is a rocket ship kids show and tell. (Which was inspiration for another article; it’ll be up soon. I sense an agenda there. Yes, I know, I’m the agenda Queen.)

Other good things on Binnall of America as usual, so be sure to take a look.

The new issue of UFO Magazine should be out pretty soon; focus is on, of course, Roswell, what else? There'll also be articles by the usual wonderful writers; not sure who'll be in this issue but no doubt Farah Yurdozah, Lesley (of Debris Field) Beyond the Dial's column, Alfred Lehmberg, Nick Redfern, hopefully Jeremy Vaeni will have something as well, Dirk Vander Ploegg of UFO Digest, and others.

Nahu, Age, and My Green Electric Self

My friend (I like to think of him as such) has two very good posts on his blog; one on the self talk some of us do to ourselves about age (and something I’ve been doing since I turned 50, three years later, still doing it) and the other on THE NATURE OF MAYA AND THE BIO-HOLOGRAM

As some readers might know, my recent article for UFO Magazine was about Nahu. When I had my ‘Green Electric’ experience, I e-mailed Nahu, asking him if he would mind sharing his insights into my electrical green episode. He very graciously did so, and this is what he had to say:

Hi Regan:

Great article based on our interview this Spring. Thanks so much. You seemed to pinpoint some very important aspects. I feel it will help immensely to disseminate some of new ideas about the phenomena often referred to as UFOs.

Obviously, you do understand some central features of your experience 1) That it was premonitory of entering the OOBe state 2) It did indicate some deep fears and primal reactions 3) It contained elements of paranormal activity 4) Indicated an encounter with archetypal and mythic symbols.

Notes: As you may know, in my book I describe "buzzing" or electrical noises which is essentially synonymous with 'clicking, whirrings, beepings. All elements also associated with an intra-dimensional encounter or a UFO. The fact that you related it to electrical acupuncture devices, in fact, is quite accurate, because these meridians or centers release blocked chi or psychic energy, bio-force, if you were,
in the system.

SUMMATION:

I believe you were approaching an altered state that at some deeper level of your emotional self, you were not psychologically prepared for--therefore, you resisted it, thus turning it into somewhat of a bizarre, or 'nightmarish' experience. Which suggests to me that you want to experience and develop your extra-sensory connection to the hologram, but must work through some buried levels encompassing past ideas and experiences.

You had indeed "plugged" yourself into an outlet of sorts, since your kundalini was activated to some degree and you were expanding, i.e., opening up to a deeper communication with Holoversal energies. If you refer to my book on 134 Officer Delgado experienced a similar green light as did Herb Schirmer on page 147, and there are other references to eerie green lights and its associations with the spirit realm, or fairy realm as some might say. At such a stage of altered consciousness you are somewhere between the physical and non-physical just short of an OOBe.

You aren't far off when you almost intuitively analyzed your own condition by stating, "it might be blocked chakras" because I feel that you are blocked in the Manipura chakra or solar plexus area. Perhaps you are receiving some healing in the intestinal tract, and I feel the need to suggest to you have a colon cleanse. Some vulnerability at this time in relationships and stress factors can also activate the chakra. Green is also the color associated with healing as well as the presence of intra-dimensional visitors, so I am sure--though you have deep fears of potential illness, they were there to heal and attend you.

I hope these sharing's are helpful.

Blessed be~
Nahu

I must say, Nahu’s insights are very “right on.” Thank you, Nahu.



And, aside from the negative talk I do inside my head about things like age, etc. that includes my apologizing for the so-called “New Agey” side of me. So what. I have all kind of sides to me, including that one. It’s a good thing. I’m also fairly grounded and as long as I don’t get all dippy and dewy, (hell, even if I did) who’s to say, and who’s to care? Am I more concerned with what others may think, or with what I have to give, and what I want to receive? If I don’t have the eggs to own something, yet use it anyway, then I remain conflicted and stuck.

This kind of stuff drives a lot of UFO researchers rabid with exasperation, but I’m not responsible for that. I am responsible for being true to myself, telling the truth, and being forthright. And if sometimes I go the way of the purple path (just made that up but I like it) that’s the way it goes.

MoMo: This Day in History

"MoMO" was one of those Out of Place (OOP) Fortean, anomalous creatures that monster lovers love to love. MoMo appeared on this day; a Bigfoot type creature of a paranormal nature. Read more on Cryptomundo.

Sea Monster Scoop! Sea Monsters in Chinese Lake

Husband just walked in, asked me if I heard the story about the sea monsters in China. I said no, after checking all the usual sources, didn't find anything. He told me he heard it on Air America, the Stephanie Miller show. So of course, I asked him if it was a joke; I love Stephanie, but as he and I both said,the Left loves to make fun of that stuff. (hey, I'm a Leftie, I can say that.) He insisted it's true.

Some lake in China (how's that for specifics) about 80 miles long, and 600 feet deep, has a "herd" (pod?) (school?) of "sea monsters" that "were huge" -- come up, follow some boats. Plenty of pics were taken by people on boats, etc.

I assume, more to come.
