aeolus kephas : Through a Fractured Glass, Darkly: The Facts in the Strange Case of Whitley Strieber | Reality Sandwich

Through a Fractured Glass, Darkly: The Facts in the Strange Case of Whitley Strieber | Reality Sandwich: Whether the Imaginal "beings" resent being limited and literalized in this fashion, and become faintly malevolent as a response, or whether (as seems more reasonable) they lack qualities of benevolence or malevolence to begin with and merely reflect back at us our own psychological tendencies, the fact remains that alien and Ufo phenomena has always had a sinister edge to it. I believe that this dark edge comes less from the phenomenon itself than from a distortion that results from being filtered through the minds of individual researchers and experiencers. Faery lore was also dark, but dark in a primal, sorcerous fashion. Ufo lore, on the other hand, tends to be heavy, oppressive, and laced with despair. There is a soulless -- I might even say sickly -- quality to it that results when writers and researchers suck all the magical essence out of the Imaginal by imposing their own rigid (and neurotic) personalities onto it. This usually happens without their even being aware of doing so: it is an unconscious distortion, and it is unconsciousness that distorts.

Colin Andrews Report: UFOs

Fantastic events of abductions, mutilations and much more. Almost too fantastic, but I have enormous respect for Mr. Andrews, so here it all is:Colin Andrews Report: UFOs. I will say that I stopped thinking long ago that the government -- ours, theirs, yours -- would never do such things. Whether it's government, other human forces, or non-human, manipulations for their entertainment and our bafflement continue.

When Entities Collide: Ghosts, Aliens, MIBS, and Entities and The Trickster Faeries

Article I wrote for UFO Digest in 2007:When Entities Collide: Ghosts, Aliens, MIBS, and Entities and The Trickster Faeries

Are aliens, at times, really ghosts? Or entities? Or the other way around? Do they imitate each other at times; if so, why? Is that the Trickster at work, mimicking one or the other, to confuse? After all, that's what the Trickster loves to do.

Sometimes entities of some type seem to imitate ghosts and aliens. There has been some interesting discussion about what we consider 'aliens' (meaning extraterrestrial) mimicking ghosts. (What we think of as ghosts.) And what about 'shadow people?' which some researchers believe are ghost like, but not ghosts; entities, but not aliens. Of course, no one knows for sure.

There's also a UFO/entity-alien and Bigfoot connection. Is Bigfoot a poltergeist or, is there a connection with Bigfoot and poltergeists, as Bigfoot researcher Lisa Shiel recently suggested? (Poltergeists: The Other Synchronicity with Bigfoot?).

2012 McMinnville UFOFest Speaker Line-Up

Well, the McMinnville UFO Fest has its third and final speaker for the event lined up: Matthew Reed. You can read about Reed, and his "multi-generational family abductions" at the UFO Fest site: Welcome to UFOFest.com as well as on-line.

I'm mildly interested in abduction researcher/hypnotist Yvonne Smith, Friday night's speaker, but overall, the line-up this year, combined with my personal financial situation, doesn't justify my attending this year. I've been fortunate to attend the last five years in a row; we'll see what next year brings.

Puma Punku on Ancient Aliens: Utiliitarian Imagery

Last night's episode of Ancient Aliens revisited Puma Punku in Bolivia. Of all the ancient and mysterious sites on this planet that strongly suggest an alien influence, Puma Punku is the most startling and dramatic to support the theory that there was, and/or is, extraterrestrial life on earth.

Fascinating images, buildings and locations the world over, but all, regardless of the variety of those things, they still feel "human." Even with an ET influence on whatever levels, there is a familiarity, no matter how distant. But Puma Punku; the artifacts there seem truly "other" to me. The reamains at Puma Punku are oddly utilitarian. If anything shouts "aliens were here dummy" Puma Punku shouts the loudest.

Those Boring No There There Metal Boxes

Was at the coast this weekend. Went to Stonefield
Beach, which as usual, was closed. That place has been closed since forever. As you can see, all there is on that beach are lots of big stones, and chunks of asphalt from the old parking lot. Now it's a rock strewn dirt path, closed off to the public. Why this beach access is always closed is a mystery to me; I'll make some calls this week to try to find out.

No metal boxes. Duh. Or signs of aliens or spaceships.

Later, in Yachats, I asked the motel owner if she had heard anything about these boxes. Not a word, she said. I thought that odd, since she's right on the coast full of travelers, and Yachats is the hip new age spot. In a mellow, old hippie kind of way. After all, a Yachats artist incorporated the mysterious boxes into his art and so on. Once I mentioned aliens and UFOs she just made a face and started talking about debris from Japan but clearly wasn't interested in the topic. That was fine.

I had planned on talking to others about the metal boxes but the weather was windy and cold and we were having too much fun with other things, like eating at Sada's Japanese resturant next to the Ripley's Museum on the Newport boardwalk.  The story is dead as a piece of washed up driftwood and as we all know, there never was any there there.

And that's the official report from Yachats, Oregon on the metal boxes from outer space.

Jeremy Vaeni's New Site: JayVay

Doesn't mean Vaeni has ditched Paratopia or anything else, just bringing it all together: JayVay

For those of you who know me, you’re probably all–Really? Do we need more of your mug on the internet? Don’t you have that Paratopia thing? That Culture of Contact thing? That Good Parade thing? E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G?

Well sure. But do I have it all in one place? Eh…? EH…?

UFO Chronicles:The Children Who Bore Witness to Roswell: Their Tragic Stories Finally Revealed

Wow! The Children Who Bore Witness to Roswell: Their Tragic Stories Finally Revealed

From hidden experience: 'researchers who claim the direct contact experience'

Mike Clelland has an interesting post on UFO researchers who've had their own UFO contact experiences:hidden experience: researchers who claim the direct contact experience

I've started a list of UFO abduction researchers who also claim life events that can be called contact experiences. Not just seeing a funny light in the sky, I'm talkin' alien abduction! These are sorted in no particular order and suspect there are many more beyond the 18 listed below. Some of these folks are controversial and I’m not trying to support the veracity of their claims. I am just trying to look at the overall pattern.

Ancient Aliens part 2

More ancient disasters: volcanoes. [Jim interjects: "You can't "cubic tons" only "metric tons." Ton is a weight, not an area."]

Domes, the Buddha, temples, built in wondrous geometric designs and near volcanoes. "Stupas" aimed at the skies. "Flat topped pyramid" says Coppens. All points to, Childress, Coppens, etc. say, aliens. Did these aliens have the means to cause volcanoes and earthquakes, as we have the (presumed) ability to do so today?

On to Hawaii. Pele; Goddess of fire and lightening. [Jim is now taking the drinking game to heart.] The gods of fire, rain, thunder, etc. all over the world, point to "space travelers" says host Giorgio Tsoukalos. On to the Sahara desert and cave paintings of giraffes, and... "the Martians" as Childress says archaeologists call them. Paintings of alien looking beings, who "assisted" humans, Tsoukalos says. Childress: "Alien gods" led the Dogon tribe. Not gods, but extraterrestrials. "Children of the Nommo," the ancient sky gods. 


Ancient China. Carvings of aliens. Big wrap around eyed beings. Peru: "massive planet wide glaciation of the earth." Giorgio's take: information given to humans by extraterrestrials. Big question: did ancient aliens want to save humans, or was there something more, or other? 

2011, Nov. 8th. Asteroid "narrowly misses" the earth. 65 million years ago, one giant asteroid did hit the earth. 180 kilometers (120 miles) in diameter. This event took out many life forms...and cause of the dinosaur extinction. Was this chance, or, ... aliens?  "Why would extraterrestrials do this?" asks Giorgio. Good question. Because we're their property. They either want to protect us, or, destroy us. Seems some days they want to kill us off, some days they want to save us. As silly as that sounds, obvious comparisons to the OT are made.

Live Blogging: Ancient Aliens part 1

You know I love this show...
Tonight's show: "Aliens and Mega-Disasters"

Get ready to count/drink/imbue substance of your choice: how many times "If as ancient astronaut theorists contend/think/believe is uttered. For each utterance, indulge. (You'll be potted out of your mind by the end of the program, but what the hell...)

Yea! Nick Redfern is on I see...

Begins with Japans' 2011 earthquake and tsunami, and talk of "pulses of energy."
And of course, that "thousands" of UFOs were seen right before the earthquake. [Jim interjects with the fact that given the high magnitude of the earthquake, the "UFO" sightings were likely geo-generated lights/energies/gases.]

Now to ancient Crete, and the earthquake in the year 365. Raised the isle of Crete 9 meters, or about 30 feet.  This and other events "...ascribed to the gods." Philip Coppens, one of my favorite thinkers and writers, is now on. And the ever effervescent David Childress. Ancient Aliens asks if Poseidon and other gods were not mere fantasies, but something ... else. Was his trident, Childress wonders, some sort of technological device? 

Could these disasters, ancient and current, be the work of the "gods" (aliens) as "ancient astronaut theorists believe?"

Now: Haiti, and the earthquake in 200, with a "strange ball of light" right before the earthquake. And now we have the elusive and excellent William Bramley, author of Gods of Eden.  Ah, but the earthquake lights aren't just geo-physical effects, they're more specific than that, Bramley suggests. Now we're getting to Nick Redfern and "tools of warfare" and "modifying and exploiting the weather" oh yes. HAARP, etc. Attempts have been made by governments during war, including Vietnam.And so the question is asked: could ancient peoples/aliens have done the same? Was "the great flood" and Noah's Ark, the result of alien actions? 

The aliens were unhappy with us, and created the flood, but more benevolent aliens intervened.
