Creepy Water Dream

On my blog Saucer Sightings, a creepy dream about water and invisible aliens.

Pyramid UFOs

I’ve been commenting on general sky and UFO weirdness, including Russian strangeness, among which was the pyramid UFO seen over the Kremlin.

But there have been other similar UFOs in recent days. Another pyramid UFO was seen in Deltoid, England on the 27th.

UFO Deltoid England Dec 27 2009: Another Pyramid UFO? from Pair A Normal Guys brings us video of the object.

Billy Booth has an item about a pyramid UFO seen in Tepec, Mexico, with a link to a YouTube video of the object. (UFO Video - Tepec, Mexico I think the object is from November, that’s the date given when the item was posted. As Billy points out, there isn’t much information, text wise, in the blurb accompanying the video, and, it’s in Spanish. (My Spanish isn’t good enough to really figure out what’s being said.) I did find the following comment, left by “sebring98” on YouTube interesting:

Godlike Productions message board has some clips of these pyramid UFOs.

All these clips show similar objects, moving slowly, drifting, rotating. Balloons are an easy and almost obvious guess, but they move too slowly, or rather, too considered in their movements.  Controlled blimp type objects, for surveillance purposes, might be closer to a likely possibility. It is odd -- meaning, not a coincidence -- these things have appeared in the past couple of months. Whatever they are -- high tech balloon toy, surveillance object, media or game advertising, among the many possibilities -- they’ve been released at the same time for impact.

In a somewhat related item, the ATS (Above Top Secret) site has an extremely intriguing, and in depth, item on a UFO  seen over the Kremlin in 1808! Here’s an excerpt from the ATS post from the original news item:

Flames and lights over the Kremlin”
“First September 1808, to the 20,07 hours, in the smooth and seeded sky of stars, has taken place a phenomenon of incomparable beauty and rigor; the phenomenon was so large that nothing of similar never had been seen before. The event was accompanied from a sound more and more hard, while the luminous arc in the sky was increasing to the horizon, passing from 55 almost 90 degrees. Slowly it has been arrested between clouds, arranging itself in along over the Kremlin like thick long straight and compact a slab approximately 6,35 meters and 3,5 meters, formed to layers.
On the frontal edge, in direction the south-west, a flame oval has been revealed, its dimensions was approximately of two meters. The particularitity of the flame was its consistency that can be only confronted to flames of alive phosphorus.

“As it floated in a sea of sparkes, the flame has illuminated all the atmosphere around creating the illusion of the light of the day; suddenly the flame is disappeared and the light is disappeared, but the luminous slab is remained where it was and enough uniform it has gone perpendicularly towards the high, reached stars until to remain visible for approximately two minutes when, without to disappear, it has gotten lost between clouds to an extraordinary height.”

Russia Plans to Plan a Plan to Hit Asteroid

Russian sky and space weirdness continues. We've had the Blue Spiral ("failed Russian missile"), pyramid UFOs over the Kremlin, and now this: news from Russia's space agency that it plans to:

knock a large asteroid off course and reduce the chances of earth impact, even though U.S. scientists say such a scenario is unlikely.

The asteroid is Apophis; 885 foot (give or take I'm sure) object that isn't worrying US scientists much:

NASA had put the chances that Apophis could hit Earth in 2036 as 1-in-45,000. In October, after researchers recalculated the asteroid's path, the agency changed its estimate to 1-in-250,000.
NASA said another close encounter in 2068 will involve a 1-in-330,000 chance of impact.

"It wasn't anything to worry about before. Now it's even less so," said Steve Chesley, an astronomer with the Near Earth Object Program at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Russia sees things differently:

Without mentioning NASA's conclusions, Perminov said that he heard from a scientist that Apophis is getting closer and may hit the planet. "I don't remember exactly, but it seems to me it could hit the Earth by 2032," Perminov said.

"People's lives are at stake. We should pay several hundred million dollars and build a system that would allow us to prevent a collision, rather than sit and wait for it to happen and kill hundreds of thousands of people," Perminov said.

Russia's space agency feels confident they can build what they need to build in time, and successfully complete their mission. But this last statement, by the Institute of Astronomy Director Boris Shustov, is cryptic:

"Apophis is just a symbolic example, there are many other dangerous objects we know little about"

The juicy invitation to speculate that this comment hands us is too interesting to ignore ... UFOs? Disclosure? War? Political posturing? Staged events: religious, alien, etc?
"Apophis" is the Egyptian:

demon serpent of darkness whom Ra, as sun god, destroys every morning at dawn

What we can't do with that fun fact of esoteric imagery! (Remember the recent BVM apparition in Egypt earlier this month.)  In the context of the already mentioned Russian displays, the plans to plan to plan an attack on Apophis, combined with Shustov's comment, we can expect more Fortean and generally weird things to come surrouding Russia.

Blog Find: Investigating Discarnate Intelligence

Visiting the Phantoms and Monsters website, found this link to a very interesting blog: Investigating Discarnate Intelligence. Personal accounts with insightful comments. Here's some from the "about this blog" section:

The aim of this blog is to provide a platform for musings on the nature of what are often termed
"discarnate entities" or "spirits". Such beings can be contacted in a variety of ways, utilising a plethora of techniques, and have taken a central role in human life for countless centuries and across all continents.

While not necessarily taking a solid standpoint with regards to the definitive nature of such entities, the intention is to explore the phenomena associated with them as they are experienced: that is phenomenologically - what might be called an "as if" approach.

That Blue Spiral, and More Woman in Red Synchronicity

Many thanks to red pill junkie, who left a comment with the following link on my blog UFO Mary. The link rpj refers to is this:
Norweigan Sky Spiral-- Explained As HAARP/Project Bluebeam Demo at the Towards a New World blog. An excellent piece that includes links to articles that clearly show why the blue spiral in Norway was not a failed missile launch.

HAARP and Project Blue Beam, and in context of other weirdness in the world around the same time, like the BVM's appearance in Egypt, really, a big "duh."

Adding to the Fortean strangeness; I've been writing about the woman in the red hood and synchronicities with that and here's another one; when I went to the New World blog, the image on the left, of the blog's owner Lucretia Heart is a lovely picture of what I assume is her, all in red!

FAA and BAASS: An Octopus Creation

Many thanks to Atrueoriginal of Alien UFO & The Paranormal Casebook, who gives us daily links to dozens of stories of UFOs, ghosts, related TV programs, podcasts and more every day for the following link: FAA Issues Order On UFO Sightings.

My previous post acknowledged my unease with the FAA promoting Bigelow's para-government, newly formed official/unofficial UFO reporting center.

Aileen's link leads us to the original story, which is an enthusiastic piece on Bigelow's work, including the news from the FAA that Bigelow is their official, sanctioned collector of UFO sightings.

Now, the FAA says that you should call one of his mysterious companies if you see an UFO.

 Bigelow Aerospace – already has two private test space stations in low Earth orbit: Genesis 1 and 2. His plan is to have a hotel in orbit, and he’s steadily on course to achieve his objectives. The guy and his Errol Flynn moustache may seem eccentric to some, but he means business.

  Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies.
 According to the last order by Federal Aviation Administration – issued on December 10 – BAASS is now the organization to contact if you are a pilot or an air traffic controller who gets close to an Unidentified Flying Object:

Why has the FAA suddenly decided it will acknowledge the UFO presence, encouraging witnesses to report their sightings, when in the past, silence and repression of those who reported sightings were the norm?

 Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS), a sister company to Bigelow Aerospace, is a newly formed research organization that focuses on the identification, evaluation, and acquisition of novel and emerging future technologies worldwide as they specifically relate to spacecraft. BAASS is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada.

 Candidates must qualify for secret and top secret clearances and must be willing to submit to a thorough background check.

Some see this as good news; as I commented in the previous post, good news! At long last the FAA has opened up, allowing pilots, etc. to report their sightings without fear of losing their jobs. I acknowledge my inner paranoia, or at least, find it suspect, that Bigelow "focuses on the identification, evaluation, and acquisition of novel and emerging ... technologies worldwide as they specifically relate to spacecraft." (italics mine) Whose spacecraft?

BAASS is in Nevada, and the obvious connection to Area 51 can't be denied. Background checks are a natural expectation, but if Bigelow is a civilian entity, why "qualify for secret and top secret clearances?" Of course, like defense contractors and other corporations in the increasing globalist-government, Bigelow is not strictly a civilian entity.

There are speculative scenarios; one being that the FAA, the shadow government, and Bigelow, are fully aware of an extraterrestrial presence and there is some sort of space chess game going on. Another is defense; man made uber- secret technologies, wrapped up in a tangled, octopus creation of espionage, war, and global control.

Whatever the real motive, the least likely is an altruistic gesture by the FAA to the public about disclosure or a benign appreciation for UFOs in context of the citizenry.

Official UFO and Anomalous Reporting Agenda?

I had just posted something about MUFON's response to the Texas UFO sightings on my blog UFO Proletariat, then went about surfing all the UFO and Fortean realms on line and found Barf Stew: FAA Makes Curious "UFO Call Statement" - As UK Shuts Down Same. Continuing with the theme of UFO research groups and their agendas, Barf Stew asks why is it the FAA did a complete turnaround regarding the reporting of UFOs? There is no official government UFO reporting authority, but now we have an officially sanctioned agency to report to: Bigelow!

"Persons wanting to report UFO/unexplained phenomena activity should contact a UFO/ unex­ plained phenomena reporting data collection center, such as Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) (voice: 1-877-979-7444 or e-mail: Reporting@baass.org)"

Now, being the type of person I am ------- suspicious ---------- this seemed odd; weird, strange, ----- almost Fortean. Why would the FAA, after ALL these decades, suddenly, have an interest in UFO reports and WHY would suddenly - there be a `specific' group to call? WHY? And who is BAASS?

Good questions. Bigelow, as Barf Stew points out, is part of MUFON's "Starteam"

Now, believe it or not - this is where all of this begins to get interesting to a UFO blogger like myself. The reason being -- Mr. Bigelow recently became the moneyman behind a new MUFON endeavor called `Star Team' - a supposed 24/7 group of folks ready to investigate UFO reports of an anomalous nature. Here's the lowdown on `Star Team'http://www.mufon.com/documents/STARTeamImpactProjectOverview.pdf.

As Barf Stew comments, on the surface this seems like good news. Money coming to support UFO research - finally! But being suspicious, as I am, as Barf Stew is, and others seem to be, this doesn't seem like the good news it pretends to be. First of all -- and this should seem obvious -- the government's involved. And while, all along, the government has presented an indifferent face to us about UFOs, it's a logical and safe assumption to make that the government has been covertly working away at the UFO phenomena for decades. 

This line makes me wonder: "UFO/ unex­plained phenomena reporting data collection center," -- anyone with a UFO sighting or "unexplained phenomena" and of "an anomalous nature"  should take to  Bigelow.

Are we to see a possibly mandated reporting of "anomalous" and "unexplained" events to para-governmental agencies? (This reminds me a bit of a novel I wrote twenty years ago or so; (unpublished and sitting in a box somewhere) where UFO sightings had to be reported to the government. If it were discovered you had a sighting and didn't report it, it was curtains!)

Stalking the Trickster on Hidden Experience

Mike Clelland of Hidden Experience blog brings us an interview with researcher Chris O'Brien on his new book Stalking the Trickster about the trickster in a paranormal/UFO context.

I've been a fan of O'Brien's for years, having read his three books on the strange happenings in Colordao's San Luis Valley. I haven't read Trickster yet but it's at the top of my list. (I hear that O'Brien in his book refers to an article I wrote but he cited the wrong source, not me; heh... trickster!)

From what I've heard O'Brien say about trickster here and other places, I like where he's going with sort of reframing the idea of Trickster in a Fortean context. Without having read the book I can't make any comments really... just have to wait.

Anyway, take a listen!

Dark Intrusions Review

Nick Redfern reviews Louis Proud's Dark Intrusions on his Reviews of the Mysterious Kind blog. An excerpt:

A lot of words have been written about the strange and unnerving phenomenon (or, perhaps, phenomena would be a better and more accurate word to use) that has popularly become know as Sleep-Paralysis (SP).

Some of those words have been good and some of them have been bad. Others have been wholly skeptical; while many have been firmly pro-SP.

But, what has been lacking until now is a truly in-depth, book-length and definitive study of the mystery written by someone who has actually experienced repeated episodes of sleep-paralysis, first-hand - and in all their terrifying glory, no less.

That situation has now changed (and radically so, too), thanks to Australian author Louis Proud, whose title (just published by Anomalist Books) Dark Intrusions: An Investigation into the Paranormal Nature of Sleep Paralysis Experiences, makes for both remarkable and essential reading.

I'm looking forward to reading this book. I've had many experiences of sleep paralysis throughout my life, though they seem to have diminished as I get older. I don't know if that's significant or not. One thing I've noticed is that, as many of these often very frightening experiences as I've had, I've never had any that hinted at aliens (as in ET, grays, etc) UFOs, Mothman, etc. And yet I've also had a life time of experiences involving "aliens' I suppose, and UFOs. So there goes that theory; that alien abductions (and I am NOT saying I am an abductee!) are merely episodes of sleep paralysis. Anyway, I think I'm going off on a tangent. . . check out the book, I know I plan to.

Ninja Bookseller and Contactee Synchronicities

My friend and I were at Borders today, and naturally I had to show off Nick Redfern's new book Contactees: A History of Alien-Human Interaction; since he quotes my article on Dana Howard in the book. So there we are, generally having fun and delighted to find the book on the shelves. My friend insists on taking a picture of me holding the book open to the chapter on Dana Howard. I am not kidding, no more than two seconds after I held the book up, a sales clerk swoops down (she must have come down from the ceiling) and says we can't take photos due to copyright laws. "No photos of books in any bookstore in the U.S." she says. My friend said "But she's the author" (in her excitement she meant I was mentioned in the book, not that I'm the author. I certainly am not!) and the sales clerk snaps "She's not the author" with great authority. I had to laugh and couldn't resist; I said "How do you know?" which of course elicited no response from her, as it should. I was being pretty flip. Giddy with my caffeine buzz gone and the crazy crowds of people all day. My friend said, laughing, "No, she's not, but she's in it," which didn't help matters. I thought we were going to be 86'd out of Borders. The woman walked away but hovered in the next aisle spying on us, like we were two naughty middle schoolers in the school library. We both thought the whole thing was funny; my friend kept whispering "Is she still there? She's still there!"

The chapter I'm referring to is I AM DIANE… I COME FROM VENUS, about female contactees, including Dana Howard. Diane means “divine” -- a being from the heavens, something holy and purer than ourselves from the stars.

My friend, whose name is Stella, (which means Star), turned to me and said "You know my middle name is Diane." That's right! I'd forgotten. So there we were, looking at Nick Redfern's book on Contactees, and a chapter on Diane from the stars, with my friend Stella Diane.

Change is Afoot: Happy Solstice!

I hadn't intended to change the looks of any of my blogs, but an intense vibe of change is in the air. I changed the look of Frame 352 and Octopus Confessional, I think for the better. And now, Mothman Flutterings -- as to that theme, I never was satisfied but finally found a WP look that feels "mothy."

The Solstice is here and I've been experiencing a strong current of creativity and thought, including change, but not out of a sense of dissatisfaction or depression, but rather a kind of quiet joyful sense of newness.

Happy Solstice!
