My Guest Stint on The Sync Book – 42 Minutes

I was the guest last night, very interesting, went by way too quickly! I think I misunderstood their last question but oh well. The Sync Book – 42 Minutes

Jeremy Vaeni's new novel: ‘Into The End’

 Jeremy Vaeni has just published a novel, here's an excerpt from his excerpt at his blog. I like it! Will download to my Kindle, and you can too -- find out how by following the link to his place:

‘Into The End’ Launches Right Now! | JayVay: The tree house lay secluded behind an abandoned mansion on a gated estate that had its own haunted lore. No one went near it except these boys. Not to break in. Not to throw rocks at the windows. Not on a dare. Not for anything.

It earned the nickname Spooky Mansion by the shear creepiness of its existence. Townsfolk referred to it this way if they referred to it at all. In truth, barely anyone in Taunton thought about it let alone talked about it. Even the boys only mentioned it by way of territorial marker. Let’s meet up at Spooky Mansion, they’d say. It was interchangeable with tree house.

Alice, Dogs Again, and UFO Maze

Had a dream last night where the point of view shifted constantly; from me watching the movie on TV up close, to becoming a part of it, including the main character, Alice.

The movie was a sequel to Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. This Alice version was the third story written by Lewis Carroll. I forget what the title was, but it had something to do with a rabbit hole. The movie was made in the late 1940s, starring all kinds of famous stars, Elizabeth Taylor among them. Part of the dream -- part of the movie in the dream -- was animated. Stop action type, not cartoon animated. Parts were in color, parts in black and white. I wonder why very few people know about this third story and this movie. Of the three, and all the Alice movies made, this is the best. But also the most esoteric.

I talk to giant eggs, like Humpty Dumpty who are resting on beds, animals, creatures, you name it.  We arrive at a the rabbit hole, and I'm told by Alice (sometimes I'm Alice, sometimes I'm with Alice...) that "this is the real thing here, the real rabbit hole. Serious stuff, this. Here we go..." and down we go. It is understood there is no coming back from this. Which feels okay; it's a choice we made and exciting even if a bit scary. 

Then I'm in a bookstore pub kind of place. I am delighted to find racks and racks of UFO material; little pamphlets and out of print paperbacks and articles in unexpected books, all kinds of things. I think they're free, not sure why, and start loading up my arms with these treasures. Some are so old they're falling about. As I walk through this narrow dusty and dim maze of book racks, someone stops me. They tell me I have to pay for these things. I explain there isn't any price on any of them, or signs posted anywhere, and ask her if she even knew they were there. If she hadn't seen me come out, she wouldn't have noticed the books at all. She shrugs and I leave with my material.

As I'm walking through I see a woman with a dog. Pretty dog, something is wrong with him, not serious, but he's ill. The dog is on a wheeled platform, with lights and the sides are caged, not to keep the dog in but to protect him from falling off. A beautiful Irish Setter comes up, this dog is amazingly beautiful! He has the softest fur like silk, and the color is incredible. A magnificent reddish brown, with deep gold highlights. He just comes right up to me, standing there before me. It's clear he was sent to me to be my dog. His standing there next to the other dog is intentional, the Irish Setter was sent, in part, to heal the dog. But that's a bonus, the main reason this Irish Setter was sent here was to be my dog. I am very happy about this and grateful for this gift, but I didnt' ask for it and it's clear that I have nothing to do with it. I have to accept the dog, he will simply follow me if I reject him, -- which I wouldn't do -- it is beyond my control.

From hidden experience: 'UFO Jounalist Roger Marsh ignores abduction reports'

Mike Clelland at hidden experience has this to say about UFO reporter-MUFON-guy Roger Marsh:

hidden experience: UFO Journalist Roger Marsh ignores abduction reports: Okay, here’s my beef...
The abduction aspect is being marginalized within the UFO research community. This is an absolute truism, and both Roger Marsh and MUFON are towing that line. They seem to be wishing this aspect of the phenomenon would just go away. Wouldn’t it be so much better if it was all just lights in the sky?

Timely blog post by Mike -- I just wrote about the importance of researching all the data. This seems so damn obvious and I've been ranting about it for so long I often feel silly for bringing it up, and yet, this current episode with Marsh occurs, reminding us that the need to remind everyone it is dishonest, for one, to reject and trivialize the parts you don't like.
What Marsh said was this:

"Okay, if it's my personal feelings, there may be one section of the listening audience that maybe follow alien abductions, I kind of have to push that aside." [Marsh]

As Mike Clelland writes, it is very troubling that a self-described NY Times caliber reporter and MUFON member to boot be so glib when it comes to parts of the UFO phenomena.

Layers of Paranormal (Conspiracy) Theories

     Michael J. Wood was the first hour's guest on Coast to Coast last night:

"Mike Wood is a PhD student and Associate Lecturer at the University of Kent, Canterbury. His research concerns the relationships between different kinds of conspiracy beliefs, persuasive techniques used by pro-conspiracy-theory and anti-conspiracy-theory advocates online, and conspiracy theories as a worldview or ideology." [Coast to Coast]

     George Knapp was the host, and as always, asked the good questions. At one point Knapp mentioned that, among paranormal and UFO researchers, the idea that once you believe in one conspiracy theory you then believe in most, doesn't always hold true. In fact, it is more the norm to hold one seemingly out there theory (Sasquatch exists) but not that Sasquatch is an inter-dimensional being related to UFOs. Belief in ghosts, but not UFOs. UFOS, but not the Loch Ness creature. Aliens, but not fairies. Sasquatch as fairy? Don't be ridiculous! We all know that among most UFO researchers, the idea that Sasquatch is involved or any number of high strangeness events are not to be entertained. 

illustration: Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, Elves and Fairies 1916

     Knapp made an excellent point about the divisions among researchers of the unusual and their dismissive attitudes towards encounters and theories that don't fit in with their biases. But there are some of us who don't fit that mold. Forteans, anomalists, Keelians, cross-over theorists; there are various labels for those of us who explore these areas and have no problem with considering possible connections between them. As I've remarked many times, you can't possibly begin to see the fuller picture if you are constantly rejecting the parts you find too wierd, too irritating, too silly, even, to consider. And when talking with a witness of an anomalous event, be it a UFO sighting or encounter with Bigfoot, the researcher must treat that witness with both gratitude and respect, and not hide, reject or scoff at the more incredible details of their story.

     While debte continues to rage on concerning Bigfoot as paranormal vs. flesh and blood, aliens/ET as something other than nuts and bolts,  and so on, the field does have its share of researchers do not edit, but share stories from witnesses in their entirety without judgement. To name just a few:

• Nick Redfern
• John A. Keel (deceased)
• The Daily Grail
• The Anomalist
• Skylaire Alfvegren
• Jacques Vallee
• Andy Colvin
• Colin Bennett
• Scott Corrales
• Tim Beckley 
• Stan Gordon
• Lisa Shiel

Alien Viruses - Shows - Coast to Coast AM

Alien Viruses - Shows - Coast to Coast AM: Host: George Knapp
Guests: Bob Wood, Nick Redfern

Joining George Knapp, Fortean researcher Nick Redfern and doctor of Physics from Cornell University, Bob Wood, will discuss the many leaked documents that describe research into alien biology and virology. Dr. Robert Wood's forensic analysis of the documents themselves argues strongly for their authenticity - and their implications are startling: Alien viruses are not only deadly, but are of key importance to biological warfare on Earth.

Area 51 'Disclosure' : You, Me, and Everyone Else

We're all commenting on the big CIA news, that yes, Area 51 really does exist! That news nothing new here move along item made the front page of our local paper, the Register Guard, with Associated Press writer Hannah Dreier's glib fluffy happy news piece with the headline UFO Fans cheer CIA's admission on Area 51.  Referring to UFO "believers" as, well, believers, as well as "UFO buffs," Dreier puts the screws in with "...the tinfoil hat crowd." Dreier quotes an Audrey Hewins of Maine who "...runs a support groups for people like her who believe they have been contacted by extraterrestrials..."

"I'm thinking htat they're probably testing the waters now to see how made people get about the big lie and cover-up." 

No, they're not. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but here goes. As we all know, no news at all. Everyone knows Area 51 is "real." This national news disclosure is of course, not disclosure of any kind of any thing.

We also know that this is just a big silly happy dance act put on for popular culture. It's also disinformation and misinformation. Misdirection. It's tied in with the scramblings of the President and the NSA who have been assuring us that the NSA doesn't really spy on us, not like you think they do. Releasing the news nothing new here move along item soothes the submerged panic within the hoi poli, but doesn't do anything in terms of productive and authentic value to the world regarding UFOs. 

Top secret human made technology to protect us is what goes in Area 51, and that's all we really need to know, according to the big news.  Rest assured, now that we have been officially informed by the CIA, bless their hearts, things are all right. We don't need to fear anything; not our government, hell we can trust them! --  they just admitted Area 51 exists, after all -- not the NSA, because they only listen in for our own good.

U2 Plane: see wikipedia on NASA cover story

This is akin to the government's "admitting" that Roswell was really weather balloons, no, we mean crash test dummies, wait, what we meant was ... oh well. At least they admitted Roswell was all them, and not ET-alien-inter dimensional non-human entities playing with our minds.

I love what Whitley Streiber said last night on Coast to Coast. (I have always respected Strebier but have gone back and forth with the variations on the UFO experiencer continuum, but at this point, I believe him, and I respect him, and that's that) who said (paraprhasing) "I'm sane, anyone who doesn't believe in UFOs at this point is the one who is  insane." Yes, it gets down to that. ET exists, UFOs are, and that's the truth. Millions of degrees as to what, who, and why they are, let alone mean, but they are. So get over it and get to work.

Meanwhile, we get propaganda within propaganda, because believe it, this ridiculous "news" the CIA has come clean about Area 51 is propaganda. All the right words are used in Dreier's piece:

• "tinfoil hat," 
• "UFO buffs" 
• "believers" 
• "conspiracy theorists" 
• "little green men" (!)
• "the truth is out there"
• "UFO aficionados"
• "alien vehicles"
• "Roswell incident"
• "extraterrestrial corpses"
• and the killer: "...Stanton Friedman, a self-described UFologist..." 

The Dreier piece ends abruptly, doesn't go anywhere, and does just what it's supposed to do: pass on the silly factor to the mainstream news.

Space Station Viewing

We saw the space station go by last night. I wonder how many UFO reports come in during the space station passing? You can still see it go by; check NASA's Spot the Space Station for specifics in your area.

UFO Photographer Wilbur Allen

Wilbur Allen was last night's guest on C2C:UFOs and Wormholes - Shows - Coast to Coast AM.

Very interesting. Wilbur is a professional photographer, working for National Geographic, among other entities. He uses a variety of cameras with high end filters, infra red and well, I'm no camera expert but you get the idea. (Wilbur is also interested in ghost research and other anomalous type subjects, using cameras to document the existence of unexplained phenomenon.) Wilbur is also a UFO/ET witness.

Skeptics of course are having their say over at the James Randi discussion forum. According to them, all Wilbur has shown are images of meteors entering our skies.

It is a fact that the use of night vision cameras and other high end cameras with special filters (ultra violet, etc.) capture things in ghost and UFO hunting that can't be seen with the naked eye. What all this means, that's another story. But anyone who has watched any of these programs where these cameras are used, or looked at YouTube videos, can't deny the fact of data. Yet, some do.

When I clicked on the link on the Coast to Coast site to go to Wilbur's site, I received a "Directory Listing Denied -- This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed" message. Hmmm. I then Googled Allen's site: www.ufodc.com and got the same message. On C2C last night host John B Wells said some listeners were emailing that the site was crashed due to heavy use; Wells said his server "could handle it." So glitch or something more sinister? Always the conspiratorial mind.

Interesting hearing Wilbur on the program, but haven't seen enough of his work to know what I think about what he says he's captured.
