Yes, new look for the blog but it's only for the Halloween season, which is as long as I feel, probably until the December holidays. Then it'll be back to the previous look.
It's Fall, Halloween and other pagan witchy days. Right now it feels a bit off though, it's in the eighties here and they predict high temps all week, up into the nineties. And this is in the Pacific Northwest!

Big Mars News
Big time news about Mars. All kinds of interesting things are coming from out of there. . . doesn't it seem that all the news about what's being discovered up there is all so casual? Signs of Underground Plumbing Seen on Mars
A NASA probe has spotted hundreds of small surface fractures near Mars' equator that may have acted as underground natural plumbing to channel groundwater billions of years ago.
Captain Jack Harkness Gone?
Rumors Torchwood will be back for a third season, but without Captain Jack Harkness. Unbelievable if true. But you can get a Captain Jack action figure to make up for things.

SUNDAY ORB
Not much going on. Sick with Fall crud, low energy, but in spite of that I like the Fall and the crisp air, I've been putting up my Fall season lights, my favorite string being an icicle style string with lights that fade from purple to orange and back. Very nice. And if I hear "Harvest Fest" one more time I'll puke. So we don't offend the Christians or give off negative vibes to the little ones, we don't dare put up witches and say the dreaded word Halloween; we say "Harvest Fest."
Speaking of Halloween: supposedly the building I work in is haunted. I've personally never felt that, but others have. I'll have to pick the brains of someone who's experienced those things and see if I pick up anything. The playground, in one area seems spooky to me, maybe it's just the energy of the space itself. There was a building I worked in that I, and others, thought was haunted; I felt and saw a lot of odd things. Interesting how I'm usually sensitive to those things but every now and then I just don't pick up on it; like my friends home (they've since moved) many others saw and felt things, but me, nothing.
New posts at Vintage U.F.O., UFO Mary, James Rich Studio, Women Of Esoterica, and tëme (an animal blog) and Pulp Jello.
Why did they put The Mentalist against Fringe? And when is Torchwood coming back? I ask you.
Mac Tonnies has a new blog; it's a great idea. Things That Look Like Flying Saucers. I love it. Here's a flying saucer I found in my living room:
Lots of little synchronicities in my life lately. Again lately that is. I notice when you put out the intent, the synchroniciites appear. I've often wondered why they are so trivial much of the time, and many a skeptoid dismisses them for that very reason. But isn't it enough they're there in the first place? Simple nudges from the universe or matrix or whatever; that's all it takes.
Well, while nothing much going on here, there's always things going on in the UFO, Fortean realm on the internet, as a check of the usual will reveal. The Anomalist and other blogs, way too many to mention here, but check out my links lists and do your own searching; you'll find more than enough to keep you busy.
And while there may not be anything I have to say right now that's stunning or interesting or Big Time UFO News, that doesn't mean, as a few others -- and we do know who they are, right class? --- insist, that UFOs are dead, gone, boring, useless, pointless, etc. Far from it!

Seeing Is Believing
Know what?
I didn't watch it.
Don't care, didn't watch it, don't wanna know.
Okay, well, I watched the last maybe 8 minutes, if that . . . I was waiting for FRINGE to come on, so before I switched to that I indulged the perverse side of my nature and watched, knowing full well what to expect.
The host, whoever he was, was kind of sexy although a bit much on the "I'm ever so serious and journalistically impartial about this UFO stuff really I am" side.
I'm just not even going there. Who cares? Not me.

Around the Orb
Well, I like the new show The Fringe. I watched it again tonight with Jim, he liked it as well. I could have sworn there were some edited scenes; some bits that were not in the first showing, different cuts, etc. Nothing that affects the story line, very minor stuff. Either that or my brain is slipping. Speaking of slipping brains, the line is "Excellent! Let's make some LSD" (see post below.) Other shows I'm looking forward to: 24, Eleventh Hour, the one starring Christian Slater who has two minds, or two personalities, or something (Google wasn't much help) Torchwood,Eureka, Monster Quest, UFO Hunters, and I hate to admit it, Paranormal State -- I see a theme here.
Look for my new Trickster's Realm on Binnall of America sometime tomorrow. The article is about energy, disclosure and aliens and I ask: what connection?
Richard M. Dolan has a fascinating review of The High Strangeness of Dimensions, Densities, and the Process of Alien Abduction by Laura Knight-Jadczyk,on UFO Digest, except, page 3 seems to be missing. Every time I click on it it takes me back to page 2. Anyone out there experience this? This is a book I must read, because of what Dolan has to say. He's one of the few researchers out there that I truly respect. Friedman is another, and of course there are others. I have a few qualms about Knight-Jadczyk in a political context, but that's another issue entirely, and because of Dolan's insights, I'm putting those aside and looking forward to reading her book.
http://www.ufodigest.com/news/0908/high-strangeness.html
Blogger has a new gadget; you can see who's "following" you, so of course I put that up on some of my blogs. I'll get around to having it up on all of them soon.
Happy Kudos to me; Vintage U.F.O. made it to the top 100 most interesting history blogs, of all things, and my blog Mothman Flutterings was recently a Red Orbit hot blog of the day.
http://orangeorb.net/blog/
http://vintageufo.blogspot.com
And, I have a new blog. I couldn't help it, blame Sarah Palin, not me. Her blood lust and her perception of animals, which is dismal to say the least, inspired me. So visit the blog: tëme (an animal blog)
http://temeanimal.blogspot.com/
As always, there is so much interesting stuff out there about UFOs and the esoteric world it's impossible to keep up with them all or comment on them. But visit the links on my blogs, and that'll take you to other places, and then other places . . .
Despite what some stuffed UFO shirts think, it is all good, even the bad.

Fall is here
Fall is here, in the air, in between bouts of summer days and chemtrails anyway, which means my posting will be kind of chaotic. All depends, for the time being, on my energy level, spaces in my life, and work schedule. The great thing about working for a public school is I get summer off. The bad thing is, well, I have to go off to work. (Don't mistake that last comment for dislike of my job; the best thing of all about my job is my interaction with the kids, no matter what their age: from the kinders to the 8th graders (yes! 8th graders, even!) So I'll have to post when I can; no schedule, not that there was any schedule, and bouts of frenetic posting in between dry periods.

Orb Stuff: I'm Just a Nerdy UFO Buff After All . . .
Been wearing my UFOs are Real, Get Over It hooded sweatshirt lately; perfect warm and fuzzy cover to wear when going back and forth to the coast. I forget how geeky and nerdy it is; no wonder people are giving me those side glances, lol. (You can order the sweatshirt and other items at Binnall of America.)
Trickster's Realm will be up sometime tomorrow on Binnall of America. This one's about a Contactee, Dino Kraspedon, from Brazil.
And a new piece for UFO Digest should be up any day now; on Marian Apparitions (specifically, Medjurgorje) and UFOs.
I've been having Internet connection problems off and on for a few days; I think it's fixed now.
If anyone has been using my rlee15@uswest.net email, it's no longer valid. So contact me at rlee@orangeorb.net.
For now, that's about it. Oh, a plug for James Rich Studio, and his full gallery at Yessy.com.

Late Sunday-Monday Orb
I've been without internet access for the past day or so, things are back to normal now.
A new piece at Women Of Esoterica by Danille Lee.
Lesley has a new Gray Matters up at Binnall of America.
Richelle and I will both have new pieces up at BOA as well this week; my Trickster's Realm on Monday (Labor Day) and Richelle's that Tuesday, I believe. She has a new column up right now.
By the way, it does seem like the world is in a UFO flap, doesn't it? Just FYI and generally speaking. . . been that way for awhile now, and doesn't seem to be slowing down.
Jim has new categories on the Yessy site, and offers prints of his work ranging from $20.00 for a color image on matte photo paper, to approximately $400.00 for a canvass print.
I've been having fun with widgets and made one for UFO Mary, and Vintage U.F.O., and Jim's blog.
Ranting about the air quality in Eugene. I know, I know, it may not be anything like Los Angeles, (although when I was down there last summer, it was much nicer than the air here; I did stay on the coast -Long Beach-Marina area, still, it was better air there than on field burning days and allergy laden days up here) and you can read those posts on my blog Trickster Northwest.
WHEN is Torchwood coming back? Still no news.
If you've noticed the bubble widget here it's a mistake; there's some glitch and I can't get blogger to take it off. It's an addicting game though!
I thought this was Fortean, for some reason: cows and magnetic north. I'll have to look out for that next time I take a drive.

Orange Orbs
Last night's C2C was great; I always enjoy George Knapp, he's among the best, and UFO researcher Ted Philips -- made for a great show. Visit the C2C site for images of orange orb like lights.
Here's another item on an orange orb encounter: Orange Orb! by Mary Munoz. (thanks to Lesley at Debris Field for the link.)

Sunday Orb
I forgot it was Sunday!
BIGFOOT
My Trickster Realm column for Binnall of America is on, now bet you can't guess . . . yep, that's right, the Biscardi Georgia Bigfoot Circus. I know, everyone has been commenting on this, including me. But this piece is inspired by a comment The Anomalist posted the other day: "have there been any positive takes on this story?" as well as Danielle Lee's piece on her blog The Spirit Guide, and Women Of Esoterica. So do I decide that I've been too harsh, too grumpy, too humorless? Read Turn That Frown Upside Down! and find out.
ANIMALS
Speaking of animals, (as we all are) I had a series of odd animal encounters today. I comment about them on Trickster Northwest.
PIN UP ART
Pin Up Art
Nothing to do with esoterica, UFOs or anything of that nature, but I'm shamelessly promoting Jim's artwork. So go take a look, okay? I suppose I have to put a warning and say that some of the work is "adult" so if you're offended by naked women, don't look. Visit James Rich Studio, also his gallery, with over 159 paintings, at Yessy.com.
PULP JELLO
Speaking of Pin Up art and such, I have a new blog: Pulp Jello. I had to have a place to indulge my love of vintage ads and cover art!

Sunday Orb
Danielle Lee, Women Of Esoterica's newest contributor, has been posting great articles on ghost hunting, Rasputin, and spirit guides. . . .
Jim has added more paintings to his gallery; abstracts in the Cosmic Series; very cool! . . .
Coast to Coast this week: Stanton Friedman and Frank Freschino (Flatwoods) will be on Wednesday’s program, and Jim Marrs will be on Thursday. Two programs that I’m looking forward to, can only be excellent. . . .
My Rant of the Day, I think I’ll keep it; add ones on Snarly Skepticism and UFO Proletariat (UFOs and the people, baby! lol). . .
"We don't want no stinkin' UFO overseers!"
Speaking “of the people” piglipstick is a blog I like very much, and appreciate the detailed news it brings us; if you haven't visited piglipstick yet do so - another blog that is along the same lines is one by Nick Redfern: Night of the Living Jackboots. Wake up everyone! . . .
I’m looking forward to reading Philip Imbrogno’s Interdimensional Universe: The New Science of UFOs, Paranormal Phenomena and Otherdimensional Beings . . .
When is Torchwood coming back???!!! . . . .
A new blog that describes itself as “Just another blog on the state of UFO affairs - past, present, and future” called The Near Side. Writing on the topic of disclosure, and the government’s release of its UFO information:
More UFO blogs: Bruce Duensing's Intangible Materiality. After I read him, I realize I should just shut up. Forever. About everything. His current post is on Jacque Vallee. But the blog, whatever it is that's up there, is worth exploring.
Alfred Lehmberg has a fantastic piece on An Alien View: Cast Seeds. . .
Shamelessly self promoting UFO Mary. It's lonely over there, visit and leave a comment!
Lesley of The Debris Field, Beyond the Dial, Machine Elf, etc. is on vacation. I hope she’s having fun!
As always, there’s so much more but not enough time.

As a person extremely fascinated with UFOs, I'm also somewhat of a realist. While I would love for our government (or whomever governs UFO matters as they relate to us earthlings) to admit what it knows of its own volition, I logically can't think of a reason for them to do such a thing.
