Eric Davis, Physicist, Explains Why Scientists Won't Discuss Their UFO Interests

Eric Davis, Physicist, Explains Why Scientists Won't Discuss Their UFO Interests: "They're wrong, naive, stubborn, narrow-minded, afraid and fearful. It's a dirty word and a forbidden topic. Science is about open-minded inquiry. You shouldn't be laughing off people. You should show more deference and respect to them ... Scientists need to get back to using the scientific method to study things that are unknown and unusual, and the UFO subject is one of them."

Davis is one of several scientists who are presenting their views this weekend on a variety of UFO-related topics at the 2013 MUFON Symposium in Las Vegas.'

David Marler on Triangular UFOs, Coast to Coast last night

     David Marler, author of Triangular UFOs, was last night's guest on C2C:Triangular UFOs - Shows - Coast to Coast AM. Absolutely fascinating! For example, the earliest sightings of these triangle UFOs go back to the eighteen hundreds. Before I heard that, I thought the earliest was in the nineteen fifties. I've often thought that the triangles were mainly man made objects but, while some of them may well be, that explanation doesn't cover all of the phenomenon. The only conclusion: non-human. Whether that is ET from outer space or something else, who can say. But after listening to Marler, with his precise information on these triangles, you really can't come away with any other conclusion.
     Researcher Richard Dolan has written much on the triangle UFOs, and now, Dolan is publishing as well as writing. He is the publisher of Marler's book, which only adds to the credibility of this research.
     I've been interested in the triangle UFOs because I saw one of these myself years ago. Man made, possible, or, not. Either way, it was a very eerie experience.

Spam Comment of the Day

I get a lot of spam comments on my Mothman Flutterings blog and the Oregon L.O.W.F.I.  on Skylaire Alfvegren's site. Like this one, on the Oregon L.O.W.F.I.:

What i don't realize is in truth how you're now not actually a lot more smartly-preferred than you may be now. You are very intelligent. You understand thus significantly relating to this subject, produced me personally believe it from so many various angles. Its like women and men are not fascinated until it’s one thing to accomplish with Lady gaga! Your individual stuffs excellent. Always handle it up! Desmond

Head Transplants

Oh I am sorry but last night I had a difficult time listening to C2C's guest Dr. Sam Parnia about head transplants. So much so wrong there. Including listening to the glib factoids of this Dr. and that Dr. doing experiments on monkey head transplants. All for what? This is news of the anomalous kind? Not interesting, but very disturbing. Mysteries of Ancient Egypt - Shows - Coast to Coast AM. I want Bigfoot Contactees, Reptilians, Area 51,UFO anything, good old conspiracies. But head transplants, no.

Armory apparitions | Local News | The Register-Guard | Eugene, Oregon

Our local paper, Eugene's Register Guard, had the following story about local ghost hunters on the front page yesterday. By line: Serena Markstrom.

Armory apparitions | Local News | The Register-Guard | Eugene, Oregon: COTTAGE GROVE — A group of women who claim they can detect paranormal activity say there is something strange in the downtown neighborhood that houses the National Guard Armory.

And with the city’s blessing, they have done some investigations at the 33,080-square-foot, 1931 armory, concluding that there are several spirits with ties to the military who hang out there.

Cottage Grove is roughly twenty miles from Eugene. It's considered a UFO/Bigfoot generally supernatural hotspot. Cottage Grove was where our own orange orb journey began years ago: we drove down to Cottage Grove to visit friend, friend wasn't there, we were feeling inexplicably anxious and odd, we left, and sighted an orange orb-craft (not a spirit orb) experienced missing time, and all manner of basic UFO High Strangeness.

Your basic skeptic went along for the ghost hunting investigation; city councilman Jake Boone. I assume he was there as some sort of representative of the city, since the city had to give permission to the group to visit the armory. Personally, I wouldn't allow skeptics on my investigations, but that's just me. So lots of expected comments by Boone about how silly the whole thing is. And we are not at all surprised that Boone is "...the son of a hobbyist magician" and knows better, as an adult, since he was "...most likely being duped by his dad as a kid."

Now, one thing that is interesting about the skeptic Boone's presence (and the article seems to be more about Boone and his skepticism than the ghost hunting team) is his attempt to disprove the reality of the spirit world. At one point he asks if he could call out names of once living officers, to see if the spirits would respond. The names he called out were fake (unknown to the ghost hunters) and, a-ha! proof the whole thing is silly. That little stunt doesn't disprove a thing; one could make the argument that the spirits were responding in Trickster fashion. Annoyed, or, amused, by being teased.

And, the bullet quote pulled for the article?

"They were not trying to fool people. They were fooling themselves.” ~ Jake Boone, Cottage Grove City Councilor

This story annoyed a local citizen, who wrote a letter to today's Register Guard, calling the story "tripe" and "hookum." [Story about ghosts wasn't news, Register Guard, 7/2/13] The letter writer had a good point about the story appearing on the front page, instead of "real" news. On the other hand I find it interesting he missed the skeptic slant given to the article.

Now, all this is my own take on the piece. I have no idea how Markstrom, who wrote the piece, feels about this. I think I'll ask her.

Actress Jaime Murrary on SyFy: Defiance, Warehouse 13

As Stahma Tarr on Defiance

I like the show Defiance. Plus, Jaime Murrary is very sexy. She is also very good on Warehouse 13, another favorite show of mine,  except that show doesn't seem to have the nerve to let her character -- H.G. Wells -- and Joanne Kelly as Myka Bering -- have a sexual relationship, but she does have a sexual relationship with a female character on Defiance.   Defiance | Watch the Show, Play the Game, Change the World Tonight on SyFy. Here's Jaime talking about her character on Defiance; Stahma Tarr, Castithan wife.

Dustin W. Naef: UNEXPLAINED DISAPPEARANCES IN MOUNT SHASTA (Updated April, 2013) | Dustin W. Naef

I'm reading David Paulides Missing 411 North America and Beyond. I haven't yet read his first two books but am looking forward to reading those as well. In an interview on Coast to Coast awhile back something Paulides said about his research had me speculating about possible Bigfoot as not "just a big ape" but something more --- paranormal, for sure, fairy, shapeshifter, alien, call it what you like.  In reading 411 Missing North America, and after reading this intriguing article by Naef about extreme high strangeness surrounding disappearances, it seems something other worldly is behind these disappearances:UNEXPLAINED DISAPPEARANCES IN MOUNT SHASTA (Updated April, 2013) | Dustin W. Naef

In the above cited article, as well as brief references by Paulides in his book, it seems that something appears, at times, as an animal during disappears. A wolf, a bear, a Bigfoot type creature. In some UFO encounters and abduction/alien stories animals are sometimes reported as present. A deer or some kind of animal appears, usually eerily silent, large eyes, sometimes glowing, almost hypnotizing the person, and or leading the witness away from the known and into the unfamiliar. 

Whatever the phenomenon is behind these disappearances, it is seems to me it is obvious it is something non-human. Whether or not it is extra-terrestrial or something earth bound but of non-human origin, we don't know. But after reading not only Paulides but related material it is difficult to see how one can come away from all this believing these disappearances are, while often times tragic, simply of the everyday.
