Facebook Mini Rant
I responded to something on Facebook, just thought I'd share. Sums it up, maybe I'll put it on my business card!
UFOlogy is not "dead," no one should be the Great UFO Decider, it ain't all that serious, and it is all VERY serious, science will never embrace us saucer heads, but that's okay because like Groucho said: (paraphrasing) "I don't want to be a member of any club that'd have me", one person's embarassing fruitcake is another person's tasty brownie, some of us are stuck with weird experiences and we're trying to figure it out, no, we won't shut up, far too many smug stuffed shirts pontificating their way through UFO Land, judgements, classism, self-importance, and not listening to the witnesses. I'd hate to go off on a rant though!
June 5th Spiral Over Australia
YouTube clip of the spiral over Australia. Pretty much like the Norway spiral. Explanation for this one: U.S. rocket ship. (I know, we don't say "rocket ship" anymore, I just like the way it sounds.)

Sun Music
Scientists have discovered the sun makes music, or more accurately, that the vibrations have been translated to sound:
They found that huge magnetic loops that have been observed coiling away from the outer layer of the sun's atmosphere, known as coronal loops, vibrate like strings on a musical instrument.

"Spiral" UFOs in Mexico
Spiral type UFOs in Mexico. Read my earlier post about spiral UFOs here. (Also on UFOMystic.)
These UFOs, the Norway spiral being the most spectacular, share some similarities. They seem to start out the same way, some develop into full out spirals, others don't make it. This is assuming of course they're of the same type of UFO. We don't know what these are: aliens, military, missiles, industrial, who knows. Interesting, for sure. What they are, well, maybe one day we'll find out.
This one is called a "wormhole" by the person who posted it on YouTube. From December 2009:
From 2010, Jamie Maussan at the UFO Congress, with clips of spirals from other countries. I'm not commenting on Maussan's interpretations, just noting the images.

BP Updates on Octopus Confessional
It seems that daily, at least once a day, comes more news of what BP, and our own government, are doing in the Gulf of Mexico. BP's take over of that part of the country, several U.S. governmental agencies at BP's bidding, acting as BP's personal and very private security force, continued denied access to media -- and politicians -- the strangely silent and absent presence of the British government, the heavy handed (and illegal) tactics used against the local citizenry . . . all these, and so much more, are on-going assaults against not only our country, but the planet.
I've been updating and commenting as I am able on my blog Octopus Confessional. Or, of course, you can enter "oil spill," or other like minded combinations of terms on Google, and that will give you the pop-up links at the top to the BP site, where they have utterly audacious and surreal propaganda pages on what's allegedly "really" going on. For as anyone who's been following this tragedy knows, BP has paid Google the bucks to ensure that people who type in those afore mentioned terms are led directly to the BP site. And if you don't like my blog, fine, there are plenty of blogs, YouTube videos (like James Fox), and journalists who can give you the information.
Do something, pray, chant, mediate, blog, scream, rant, agitate, protest, send intent, focus, tell, witness, share ... something, anything, but don't, please, act as if "it isn't that bad." Because it is.

Sinkholes, Earth Shifts? Have a Beer: Marginalizing Earth Changes
I'm fascinated by the weird disconnect some exhibit towards the subversive, surreal or anomalous. Even while acknowledging -- for how can one not, it's literally staring you in the face with physical evidence -- strange occurrences, some people trivialize the incredible. Here's an example from the UK's Telegraph; an article by Peter Foster:Are there any reasonable explanations for spectacular sinkholes in China?
The sinholes aren't in question; China has been experiencing a weird series of sinkholes lately, confirmed by photographs. Combined with the sinkhole in Guatamala, as well as the general and dramatic earth activity we've been witness to recently globally, something profound is happening. How we interpret "profound" is up to us, but it's ignorant, I suppose, and irresponsible, to ignore what's happening. In our despair, our panic, our confusion, our attempt to both face what's happening and then respond, we offer up answers. As Foster reports, the Chinese and speculate on the causes of the sinkholes:
Somewhat round about related note: watching one of our three local news channels last night, I was not surprised, but nonetheless astounded, that the lead story was about a local college football player's explusion from the team. That was big news, not BP and their crimes in the gulf. After about fifteen minutes of sports as lead in and some other local stuff, there was about 60 seconds worth of middle of the road "news" on the oil spill. No commentary, just news wire stuff.
What's my point? I'm not sure; sadness, fear, helplessness, outrage, anger, confusion, ... easy to understand denial and flip, trivial crap like the above article, or fanatical responses to local athletics. But while I can understand, to a point, some of that response, I don't get it, and can't excuse it. DO something; rant, pray, scream, but wake up.

Closer and closer to 2012” warned one commenter on the Netease platform. “Will what was the ocean become land and what is now land become the ocean?,” asked another. “Do aliens come out of these holes?,” questioned a third.And so on. Foster does admit feeling uneasy about the literal shifting of our planet:
On and on the comments go: “God is very angry with earthlings polluting behavior and has decided to punish earthlings,” said a fourth, and “Let’s organize ourselves and quickly go to Tibet to find the ark,” enjoins a fifth.
. . . looking at the pictures, I half-share their collective shiver of anticipation that these things are unnatural portents of catastrophe.Quoting more speculations and theories found on the internet, Foster concludes:
That’s if you like that sort of thing. Me, I’m off for a beer while I wait for the earth to swallow me up.I just wonder what was the point of this piece? I suppose one of my coping mechanisms to the forever -life -changing global events is a paranoid response to pieces like this. Marginalizing the strange is shallow and ignorant, but is it also a distraction, an intentional disinformation campaign? Some days I wonder if that isn't the case.

Torchwood TV rights bought by STARZ, airs in 2011
I realize that Dr. Who (of which Torchwood is a spin-off) changes actors, and it works, and the storyline involving Torchwood's history allows for different characters to come and go. (as we've seen in past seasons, with the passing of two characters: Dr. Owen Harper, and Toshiko Sato) so I'm trying not to be unrealistic to the intergrity of the show, or unfair. It's just that I love Gwen and Jack so much!
And hey, is it possible for me to sound any more like a paranormal TV nerd?

richardthomas.eu: A Guest Article By Richard Dolan
richardthomas.eu: A Guest Article By Richard Dolan
From Richard Thomas, a very interesting article by Dolan on the possibilities of a covert space program.
This parallels what I've been saying here and there recently; that if UFOs --whether it's all of them or some of them -- are ours, isn't that a huge something nonetheless? To shrug off triangles and other unusual, often overwhelming craft as "just" military ignores so many very large questions about tax dollars, mind control, black budgets, illegal government activities, spying, human experimentation, foreign relations, . . . the list is long.
