Erik Stitt of Contact on Colin Andrews
Erik at Contact has written a beautifully stated piece on Colin Andrews' presentation at the recent McMinnville conference. As I commented at Erik's blog, I simply haven't found the words yet to say what I want to say about that; but thankfully, Erik has, and hopefully his piece will give you some idea of the power, the profound nature, of Andrews presentation.
Erik comments on "the sound" -- the sounds of trills, chirps, electronic-metallic insect type sounds -- that affected me both emotionally as well as physically:
I had mentioned in my post Mini Report From McMinnville: Chirps, Trills and Wasps, for UFOMystic how "the sound" as Erik refers to it, affected me:
More to come on this, it is too important not to continue.

Erik comments on "the sound" -- the sounds of trills, chirps, electronic-metallic insect type sounds -- that affected me both emotionally as well as physically:
I felt the energy then as I feel it now. The catalysts were many and plentiful. Colin’s voice, the images he presented on the large screen and The Sound…The Sound.
The Sound took me to 1972 in my home in Clovis, California. It took me to the mind of a five year old boy lying on top of the covers of his bed in his racecar jammies. Lying with his hands laid out to his sides, palms up as he intuitively closed his eyes and simply had one wish. He wanted to fly. And fly he did!
I will never forget the look on my mother’s face the following morning as I told her,
“I saw you watching TV last night, Mommy. I flew over your head and saw you watching that Bonanza Cowboy Show on the TV.”
I had mentioned in my post Mini Report From McMinnville: Chirps, Trills and Wasps, for UFOMystic how "the sound" as Erik refers to it, affected me:
Earlier in the presentation, Andrews played recordings taken in crop circles, and one taken in a tree. I had an immediate physical feeling while hearing one sound; it was under the skin, as if I were vibrating. During one of these recordings I literally could feel myself vibrating. I felt as if I were about to leave my body, I was having the same feeling I have when I have an OOBE. Jim didn’t have that same physical feeling, but he did have a strong emotional response:
“The sound gave me the impression there’s something underlying, primordial — some sound like something you’ve heard all the time, something that’s been there sublimely all along.”There is so much here (including a bit of synchronicity involving a wasp, as I wrote in the above mentioned post) that clearly affected Erik, as well as myself and I know I can speak for Jim on this as well.
More to come on this, it is too important not to continue.

Military Intelligence: On the Fringes of Experiences
Much to process about the recent McMinnville UFO conference in Oregon, Colin Andrew's astounding and profound presentation in particular. (On that more to come.)
All the presentations were worth attending. Each of the presenters, Travis Walton, James Clarkson, and Colin Andrews, all had important things to share. And while very different from each other, there was a shared theme in all of their information. This shared theme extended from the official UFO conference speakers to individuals I spoke with also attending the conference. And that is the presence of military intelligence.
Travis Walton spoke on his personal abduction experience, of which we've all heard many times. But some information was new, at least to me, regarding the presence of human, or human looking beings that were on the craft, and the witness to what Walton saw who had some sort of connection to military intelligence.
James Clarkson's presentation on June Crain (Tell My Story) ... well, military intelligence is all over the place on that one.
And Colin Andrews (a most amazing presentation) has had his own dealings with military intelligence and shadowy agents both in the UK and the U.S., as has been mentioned on-line in the past. Andrews again made reference to the presence of military intelligence, and authorities of various natures, in his presentation. So much more to say on this last presentation, and that's for a future article, but this connection with human, military/government agencies goes way back; as Andrews shared, these profound and life changing experiences began when he was a child, during which he had contact with human soldiers within the context of high strangeness indeed. His father was also a military man; more military connections.
In private conversations with different individuals I spoke with at the conference, there was the hint of a military connection; sometimes in the background, sometimes more overt. One man was in the military himself, and had seen and experienced very strange things in Area 51. Others had different experiences, but in all, someone in the witnesses arena of experience was in the military or law enforcement. Either overtly, (actively in the Army or Navy, or sometimes a police officer, etc.) or covertly (can't talk about it, just allusions to "military intelligence," kind of thing.)
The presence of the "Military Intelligence," covert authorities affiliated with law is active on different levels:
Some might suggest this is just statistics, after all, how many of us know people who are either in the military, or a cop, etc.? Well, as we know, when it comes to UFOs and all its related tendrils of on the fringe experience, there are no coincidences. Add that to the context and history of UFO activity since at least WWII, it becomes clear that what we loosely call "military intelligence" is all around this phenomena. Either by a personal connection (contactees and witnesses being ex-military or law enforcement themselves, or some kind of family connection) or because of outside interest from military intelligence, the connections are not due to statistical coincidences, but intentional complicity and manipulation.
The question is, why are military and related factions so damn interested in UFO and anomalous experiences? Why are they so interested in controlling and obscuring those experiences?

- Manipulators: MILABS, social engineering, mind control . . .
- Partners: uniformed humans seen with "aliens" aboard craft, during abductions and sightings. . .
- Controllers: disinformation, misinformation, cover-ups, official debunking campaigns, faux investigations (Blue Book,) . . .

Is 'Avatar" A Raelian Recruiting Message?
This is too deliscious; following this thread down the rabbit hole from Rense.com, about the Raelians, on Henry Makow's Save the Males site by Steve Thomas. I was going to write an article about this but decided, sigh, I just don't have the energy. Is "Avatar" Raelian Cult Indoctrination? That says it all, doesn't it?

The Cockroach That Wouldn't Die
Barf Stew picks up on Jason Offutt's post about a giant bug, which I commented on the other day. The story reminded me of an urban legend I heard when I was in my late teens, early twenties. I was living in L.A. The story was told to me with all seriousness, most of us believed it at the time, including me! The story:
Scientists at UCLA were studying pesticides. Cockroaches taking over L.A. was a concern. So they had a cockroach the literal size of a poodle; kept in a glass cage. Success! Now they could breed the giant cockroaches to test their cockroach killing inventions. But no matter how much of the stuff they sprayed this poodle sized bug with, it wouldn't die. Finally, worried that the cockroach would escape, the scientists had to resort to shooting the thing with a gun.
Dark Speculations; Psy Ops Memes?
When I first read the by now infamous Stephen Hawkings comment on alien life, my first thought was "Hmm, wonder if this is some psy ops thing?" Then immediately felt silly for being so paranoid, as I usually do when I have these paranoid, conspiracy tinged responses to seemingly mundane things that pop up in the culture stream.
Stephen Hawkings, brilliant man, which no one argues, doesn't think much about UFOs or those that "believe in" them. In fact, he's said of those that take the subject seriously:
That view didn't stop Hawkings from speculating on aliens and their motivations. Those motivations are dark ones; attributing the worst of human behaviors onto an advanced alien life form, Hawkings speculated that a violent scenario would take place:
The timing of the thing is interesting, other recent news items concerning space and thinking seriously about "the other" coincide to bring us an interesting picture. One illustration: Nobel prize winner Dr. Brian Josephson was recently invited to participate in the Towler conference on quantum physics. Then he was quickly disinvited. Greg Taylor at The Daily Grail shared the dis-invite Josephson received from the Towler institute:
So a conference on QM can't allow for a Nobel Prize winning collegue if he thinks too far outside that box.
But back to Hawkings and psy-ops. This from UFO-Blogger:
Robert Bigelow, the mysterious wealthy would be controller of the paranormal and UFOs, has now become the FAA's official go to source for pilots to report UFO sightings. Furthermore, it's a strange partnership with MUFON. When there is wealth, big business, and an obsession, well. . .industry and government are no strangers. Pilots now are encouraged to report UFO sightings to Bigelow's private sector organization, called BAASS. (Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies.) The following is from the U.S. Department of Transportation/Federal Aviation Adminstration website:
Other news adds to a consideration of dark and fearful views of space as being a manufactured one, a controlled one. Little droplets of fear about space, along with news of government agencies that looked into UFOs closing, have been released steadily the past few years. Two things are occurring at the same time, two systems of activity concerning UFOs and esoteric realms. One is the denial and heavy handed pronouncements from authorities about the unseen (paranormal, UFOs, outer space, strange things in the skies, shutting down of government agencies that looked into UFOs.) The other is the obvious, blatant and can not be denied reality of weirdness literally above our heads (Norway spiral, crashing meteorite, beams of light from odd looking craft, non-stop sightings and high strangeness experiences, serious research.)
As if all this isn't enough, Hawkings is still causing a stir, this time concerning time travel and DARPA. Alfred Lambremont Webre writes:
None of this matters. People have already been bedazzled; I've spoken with many who, while having only a mild interest in UFOs at best, have taken Hawkings words to heart. Because, as has been said to me many times lately, Hawkings is a brilliant man, and a scientist. Therefore, he knows what he's talking about. The meme's been released.
I was recently briefly interviewed on a local radio program; they wanted my take on what Hawkings had said about aliens. The part where I prefaced my answer to their question "How many UFOs have you seen?" was edited out. What I had said was that UFOs means unidentified and that I think a lot of what we see up there is ours. Which doesn't make it any the less weird; if it's ours, but operating covertly, and doing suspicious things like spraying mist onto buildings, beaming blinding white beams of light onto people and so on, well, we have an issue.
It seems something is intent on distracting us from the realities of the covert, such as DARPA and other classified operations, as well as the truly anomalous.
Stephen Hawkings, brilliant man, which no one argues, doesn't think much about UFOs or those that "believe in" them. In fact, he's said of those that take the subject seriously:
"We don't appear to have been visited by aliens," Hawking said, adding that he discounts reports of UFOs. "Why would they only appear to cranks and weirdoes?"
Those comments, juxtaposed with the comment that only "cranks and weirdos" see UFOs, give us a conflicting and cynical view of the whole phenomena. We have to be careful of thinking aliens would be benign; loving ETs like space age Jesus's, come to save us from ourselves. The belief that because a race of beings are technologically advanced also makes them more spiritually/emotionally advanced doesn't follow, but neither does the idea, like Hawkings, that they'd be out to eat us for lunch. Hawkings presents us with a sort of anti-Disclosure. Which brings me to the paranoid part.I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet.'Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach.'It would be 'too risky' to attempt to make contact with alien races, he concluded.'If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans.' Stephen Hawking: Earth could be at risk of an invasion by aliens living in 'massive ships'
The timing of the thing is interesting, other recent news items concerning space and thinking seriously about "the other" coincide to bring us an interesting picture. One illustration: Nobel prize winner Dr. Brian Josephson was recently invited to participate in the Towler conference on quantum physics. Then he was quickly disinvited. Greg Taylor at The Daily Grail shared the dis-invite Josephson received from the Towler institute:
Dear Prof. Josephson,
I am very sorry to have to inform you that, at my initiative, Mike Towler and I are withdrawing our invitation for you to attend our workshop at The Towler Institute this summer.
It has come to my attention that one of your principal research interests is the paranormal. I have told Dr Towler that, in my view,it would not be appropriate for someone with such research intereststo attend a scientific conference. On this basis, I have urged him to agree to withdrawing the invitation, much to his personal regret. I do wish I had noticed this earlier, the oversight is entirely my fault. Nothing personal, of course. It is a purely intellectual matter. We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused, and wish you a pleasant summer. Paranormal Regret, The Daily Grail,
So a conference on QM can't allow for a Nobel Prize winning collegue if he thinks too far outside that box.
But back to Hawkings and psy-ops. This from UFO-Blogger:
There is, however, plausible contextual evidence, that Stephen Hawking’s carefully crafted statements as a protégé of the Royal Society may in fact be a component of a long-term psychological operation (“psyops”) by U.K. military intelligence to brainwash the human population into fear-driven support of the weaponization of space, and acceptance of a possible false flag war in space against a hyperdimensional extraterrestrial civilization which is being groomed as a foe of humanity’s sovereignty over Earth’s 3rd dimension.
It may be more than a curious coincidence that both Simon Conway Morris, professor of evolutionarypaleobiology at Cambridge University and a keynote speaker at the Royal society January 2010 conference on extraterrestrial life at the, and Stephen Hawking, Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge for thirty years and one of the youngest members ever to be inducted into the Royal Society, should parrot each other with almost the same verbatim observations about the dangers of interacting with all extraterrestrial civilizations.
Stephen Hawking May Be Part Of A U.K. Military Intelligence Psyops
Robert Bigelow, the mysterious wealthy would be controller of the paranormal and UFOs, has now become the FAA's official go to source for pilots to report UFO sightings. Furthermore, it's a strange partnership with MUFON. When there is wealth, big business, and an obsession, well. . .industry and government are no strangers. Pilots now are encouraged to report UFO sightings to Bigelow's private sector organization, called BAASS. (Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies.) The following is from the U.S. Department of Transportation/Federal Aviation Adminstration website:
Section 8. Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) Reports
9-8-1. GENERAL
a. Persons wanting to report UFO/unexplained phenomena activity should contact a UFO/ unexplained phenomena reporting data collection center, such as Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) (voice: 1-877-979-7444 or e-mail: Reporting@baass.org), the National UFO Reporting Center, etc.
Other news adds to a consideration of dark and fearful views of space as being a manufactured one, a controlled one. Little droplets of fear about space, along with news of government agencies that looked into UFOs closing, have been released steadily the past few years. Two things are occurring at the same time, two systems of activity concerning UFOs and esoteric realms.

As if all this isn't enough, Hawkings is still causing a stir, this time concerning time travel and DARPA. Alfred Lambremont Webre writes:
Prof. Hawking’s statements on time travel can been seen in a segment (Episode 1-5) of the Discovery channel documentary embedded in the article below. In the documentary segment, Prof. Hawking first affirms the theoretical reality of time travel. He then describes (and the documentary depicts) a theoretical time-travel portal in terms that are very similar to secret U.S. government time travel portals by independent whistleblowers from U.S. time travel projects, Andrew D. Basiago, a Cambridge University graduate and former DARPA Project Pegasus time travel participant, and former U.S. serviceman Michael Relfe. (Why is Hawking affirming time travel theory and appearing ignorant of DARPA secret time travel?Theories about Hawkings being invovled in disinfo continue. Webre writes, in the same article:
Stephen Hawking’s April 25, 2010 public statements about extraterrestrial civilizations can be plausibly interpreted as a part of a larger psyops – psychological operation – by U.K. military intelligence to use Hawking’s carefully crafted profile as Royal Society protégé in brainwashing the human population into fear-driven support of the weaponization of space, and acceptance of a possible false flag war in space against a hyperdimensional extraterrestrial civilization which is being groomed as a foe of humanity’s sovereignty over Earth’s 3rd dimension.It's not all that far fetched to consider this angle. For some reason, in the UK, there have been several staged scenarios invovling UFOs at schools. Students, parents, and some staff, are witnesses to what they believe at the time to be real crashed UFOs, alien abductions, or other violent, intrusive acts, such as the murder of a teacher in front of students. Are these scary events preparing us for something in the near future?
If Stephen Hawking has been recruited by U.K military-intelligence (or some other entity) to engage in a disinformation campaign about extraterrestrial civilizations, then the likelihood that the informationthat he is imparting about the science of time travel is also part of an intentional “disinformation” campaign escalates.
None of this matters. People have already been bedazzled; I've spoken with many who, while having only a mild interest in UFOs at best, have taken Hawkings words to heart. Because, as has been said to me many times lately, Hawkings is a brilliant man, and a scientist. Therefore, he knows what he's talking about. The meme's been released.

The Tiger Sized White Wolf Mind PostCard
I had another one of those "visions" or mind postcard experiences again last night. I wasn't asleep, not yet, but in bed, just about to drift off, but still awake, still aware of things in the room, etc.
As these mind postcards happen, the scene or okay, vision, what the hell, came on suddenly. Abruptly. From nowhere, suddenly I see a huge white wolf, the size of a tiger, or a lion. The wolf has a hint of dog, and at first, I think it is a dog but it is clearly a wolf. The wolf is almost completely white, it has a tinge of light gray around it's neck. I am right up to this wolf, about a foot away. The wolf is sitting in profile, sitting up. It's very relaxed and at the same time, extremely alert. It's facing west; to the (my) left. It's watching something intently, something off in the distance.
The wolf knows I'm here, knows very well I'm here. I know that the wolf is my protector, and a sort of guide. And while he -- and I have the strong knowledge it is a he -- means me no harm, he's not my buddy. I mean that he's not like a pet dog would be; we're not going to go running together playing chase the stick. I'm not afraid of "my" wolf, but I am careful. It's a good feeling to know he's here, or that I'm here, whereever here is, but it's also weird. This is really happening, for one thing. . .
Where we are, I don't know, in terms of place name. I don't recognize the place. It's very park like; the wolf is sitting on grass. All around me is grass, like a large park. Right behind wolf is a cyclone fence, painted black. Beyond that, semi-residential streets, cars, buildings, people. It's a city but none I recognize.
Then I get a little scared, as I often do when these "mind postcards" are so damn abruptly inserted in my head. As I've commented before, they're so vivid, real and I can even hear sounds, smell odors, feel textures...I am really there. But they're outside of me, meaning I just find myself in a place. I'm being shown something. The reality of these moments, along with the vividness and the suddeness, are alarming because... well, it's so werid. But, as I've also commented, these seem to be psychic visions, experiences, gifts, even.
I don't know that they're related to some aspect of UFOs, but I have a nagging sense that in some way, they are. Which brings up the intriguing speculations about a part of the UFO phenomena being inter-dimensional, multi-dimensional, symbiotic, or, much more than only "nuts and bolts."

Giant Sentient Insects
I thought the following interesting; on its own of course, but also because of my own recent experiences of giant, sentient insects that I've shared here. ( Grasshopper Canyon.) > Jason Offutt shares a story of a giant bug on From the Shadows, with a promise of a part 2. Thanks to Nick Redfern at There's Something in the Woods for the link.

Dreams, Water, and a Childhood Connection?
A lot of my dreams/memories from childhood concerning UFOs and entities include the presence of a childhood friend. She is in many of these dreams, and together we wait for "them." I realized, after posting my triangle dream of the other night, that the house was her house. I had called the house a recurring dreamscape; one of several settings that I return to, but this was the first time I realized the house was the one I had visited many times. An interesting observation, but what significance, if any, . . . who knows.
Another thing I realized; my recent triangle dream, and this dream, (Creepy Water Dream), that I posted on my blog Saucer Sightings, involve an unpleasant situation with water, and another childhood home; this time the one I grew up in. And, both involve invisible aliens.
So, recurring themes and imagery. Covers for literal UFO-alien experiences, or representations for something more esoteric that possibly doesn't have anything to do with UFOs or aliens at all?
I don't think it's such a dichotomous set-up. Some of both, with all kinds of things in between; possible. But attempts to be so rigid in dividing experiences like this and making sure one stays away, while we maintain "reality" misses the point.
The debate rages on about inter-dimensional, non-outer space ET creatures vs. a literal, nuts and bolts, ETH explanation. The former allows for a lot, the latter is too simplistic while ignoring all that high strangeness. Couldn't it be both?

Local Talk on "Visitors"
Little item in today's local paper: 'Talk on 'visitors' scheduled.' At the Science Factory, (a museum/educational venue) the following first of five scheduled lectures in a series will take place. The first one is "We are the Universe: Visitors to Our Solar System."
Source: Register Guard, Monday April 26, 2010
Science Factory.org
...the talk will explore science fiction and true stories of human fascination with life on other planets, moons, and unidentified lying objects on Earth.From the Science Factory's site, info on other talks in the series, like this one in May:
MAY 5: WHO'S LOOKING AT YOU KID?These talks are to be given by Steve Kilston, who has an impressive background, according to the Science Factory site. Kilston's hosted a "science radio talk show," and:
Join us for an in-depth discussion of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intellligence (SETI). Where would it most likely to be found, where could its signals best be detected, and what might our responses be if we found it? We’ll answer these questions and more.
worked developing laser communications systems and anti-satellite weapons, participated in the Strategic Defense Initiative, designed the first high-resolution commercial remote sensing satellite, and most currently has been associated, through his work at Ball Aerospace and his association with the NASA Astrobiology Institute at the University of Colorado, with NASA's Terrestrial Planet Finder program. ..It'd be interesting to know what spin speculations and theories about ET, etc. are given in this context.

Scary Cartoon - Triangle Dream
Last night's dream: my step-sister, who I haven't seen in a good ten years (true) visits me. We're so glad to see each other! There's another woman with her, about her age, a friend of hers. I'm sad her visit is going to be so short; just a couple of days. She's on her way to Tacoma, then down to Santa Cruz. (in reality, we all used to live in Santa Cruz and have family there; she currently lives in the Seattle area.)
We're in my house; this is one of my many dream-scapes. A large, older, rambling slightly dilapidated home, painted white, surrounded by a large, woodsy overgrown area. It's night; my sister insists we go outside on "an adventure." I don't want to but I want to spend time with her, so I go. There's a large concrete wading pool out there with stagnant water, and I slip into it. A weird looking man is around; he's responsible for this and it's funny, we all laugh, but it's also disturbing in some way but I shake it off.
We all stop and look up at the night sky. Almost directly above us, we see a black triangle. I can't believe it! I am very excited, and point, shouting: "Do you see that?! Look, look! How can you not see that?!" They look and see it, but almost turn away, in a strange state of apathy. But then they turn back and look up again. We all agree as to what we're seeing.
The triangle is black, with blue, white and red lights around the edges. The lights are big and round. To my surprise, the triangle abruptly changes shape; it's still a triangle, but becomes very chunky. It goes from a slim, large triangle to a small, very thick object. This is very disturbing to me; I become very scared. Something is not right about this thing at all! So many things occur to me at once: it's weird it changes from the "typical" triangle (large, thin, sleek,) to a wide, thick and small heavy dense thing, it's weird it's up there in the first place, it's weird it seems to be performing for us; waiting for us, and it's weird I see, yet again, another damn UFO. Who's going to believe me? I think, "how many UFOs do I need to see, why, and what's the point?"
It's a man made object, as all the triangles are, * and yet. . . for some reason this is far more disturbing than aliens. And I also know that there are aliens involved in this somehow, even though the craft is "ours." In fact, we're suddenly aware of aliens right here, down here with us, right now. We just know, somehow, they came from the triangle, how, no idea, just know that they did. We can't see them, they're invisible, but we know they're here, just a few yards away from us. They're tall. How we know this without seeing them I don't know, I just know that we know. We really need to get the hell out of here. But we can't, we're frozen to the spot. We continue to watch the triangle.
The changing shape of the triangle (from sleek and long to thick and small) is disturbing, in spite of the cartoon like smaller shape of the thing. Then a ridiculously silly thing happens; it sprouts a large, round antennae, with a revolving section on top. It's so 1950s! What kind of high tech, outer space from beyond, alien technology has something goofy like that? But as silly as it looks, as well as it being illogical, it's also scary. This thing is not acting right at all -- of course, the whole thing isn't right -- but behind this veneer of harmless, cartoon like appearance, is a very serious intent.
I can't escape the awareness that this thing is both man made and alien, and the object itself, while concurrently controlled by humans (as well as aliens?) is also sentient. The blending of human and alien is extremely disturbing.
Suddenly the triangle disappears. It doesn't move off at an alarming speed; it just, in the blink of an eye, flat out disappears. Gone. Or so we think; I then see three pinpoints of blinking lights, one at each corner of the triangle, which has now elongated back to its original large, thin size. The thing is still there, just camoflouged as part of the night sky. The three lights look like stars; if one wasn't paying much attention, the lights wouldn't be noticed.
The whole thing is very disturbing, very scary. I don't like one thing about this at all.
*I don't think the triangles are man made, I don't know. I have no idea; I go back and forth with the speculations. In the dream however, I had the knowledge that the triangles were man made, though aliens were still involved. Whether this is true or not, I have no idea.
We're in my house; this is one of my many dream-scapes. A large, older, rambling slightly dilapidated home, painted white, surrounded by a large, woodsy overgrown area. It's night; my sister insists we go outside on "an adventure." I don't want to but I want to spend time with her, so I go. There's a large concrete wading pool out there with stagnant water, and I slip into it.

Update on Local Sighting
Update on local sighting, or: When, Um, Being Relaxed and Venus Collide . . .
A few days ago I posted about a story I got second hand about a UFO sighting not far from where I live. I wondered at the report that the object, which seemed to change color, lasted for "forty five minutes." I was never able to get to talk to the people directly, but another second hand story about this: they were, well, ... "relaxed" and looking at the night sky. Turns out, Jim determined from asking various questions, they were looking at Venus. I had mentioned in the earlier post they had also seen a red light coming down; they don't remember much, if anything, about that, lol. Okay then.

Alfred Lehmberg on Church of Mabus
Interview with Alfred Lehmberg on Jeffery Pritchett's Church of Mabus. I like this one; one thing of many things I liked was what Alfred had to say about closure, and I'm paraphrasing: "Where is it writ," he says, "that we have to have closure?" in regards to all this kind of stuff, experience, UFOs. . . "It's what we're learning on the way," or something like that, as I say, I'm quoting from memory.
The Antennae Behind The Orb; White Wolf and Coyote
This morning I had a dream about my being Indian. I’m outside a building, a combination school and dormitory-apartment, which is by a river with reeds growing on the banks. Up ahead of me a few yards away, across from the river, is a storage shed, door open.
I’m signing, very well, very loud, very powerfully. (in reality, I can’t sing worth a damn, people literally laugh at me when I try.) I’m singing about being Indian, and my grandfather’s story: Cherokee and Lenape. I sing that “even though everyone says they’re part Cherokee, he really was” (true) and that he, his mother, was also Lenape (true.) I sing about going back to Kansas to be with family. (never been to Kansas, don't know anyone in family who's from Kansas.) I sing about how we’re from the Wolf Clan (not true, though Wolf Clan is a Lenape clan, and I was informally given that designation by a Native person.) I sing about how people in the family said it was just a rumor, he wasn’t really Indian, how my mother said it was true, how I remember my grandfather telling me it was true, how some talked about drunken Indians in the family, and how while I’m basically white girl, my bother’s cheekbones are high and if you look at him, no doubt. (all true.) I sing about how my grandfather once showed me a beautiful soft white leather dress, his mother’s regalia, decorated with intricate embroidered and beaded flowers, and flowing with fringe, and how it was to be a secret between us. (not true.)
I am singing loud, clear, beautifully, powerfully. All the while I’m watching coyotes and wolves watching me, through the reeds, from the interior of the storage shed. They’re all around. Coyote is no mere inferior cousin of Wolf, he’s as powerful and individual as Wolf, just different. Make no mistake in underestimating Coyote. Or, of course, Wolf. One wolf is pure white. They’re my watchers and guardians, but a distance must also be maintained. They’re not playthings. They will bite me if I treat them disrespectfully.
And while Im signing, there is a crystal ball sitting on the ground near me. It’s mine. But it isn’t a crystal ball; not for the purpose of “fortune telling,” it has another purpose. It’s in dormant mode now. It’s “off.” I’m not sure what it’s for, just that it’s part of what I’m doing here. The glass of the orb is dull in this mode, it’s like a light bulb that isn’t turned on; opaque.
As I’m signing this song, people I know who are Native walk up the path alongside the river, towards me, they're on their way to the building behind me. They work and live here, with me, in this place. They like what I’m singing and encourage me to visit the reservation and share. (these are people I really do know in “real” life.) I tell them no, I don’t want to appropriate, or to disrespect, or “play Indian.” They assure me it won’t be like that.
I wake up, holding onto the dream. Once again I have had a dream about wolves, and White Wolf in particular. Jim and I are awake, just talking about our plans for the day, my eyes are closed, and one of the slide - show mind postcards shoots into my mind’s eye. I see a brilliant, glowing from within orb, white. Someone, something, is holding the orb up in front of its face, and behind the orb, are two long antennae. The creature holding the orb is some kind of sentient insectoid being. I can’t see its face, the orb is covering it. This being seems familar but I don't know from where, or anything more. . .
The intensity of the “vision” startled me, though it didn’t scare me. It wasn’t until later this morning I made the connection between the dormant orb in my dream and the orb held up by the faceless insect.

Making It Harder For Themselves: Skeptics Film Strange Lights
Lesley of The Debris Field and a blogger at UFO Mystic posted the following link: UFO Skeptics Film Strange Objects In The Powys Night Sky.
I was interested in (besides the lights themselves and the UADs in the area, of course) the skeptic angle on this.
So when confronted with proof UFOs exist, as in this case, where lights were photographed, the skeptic has to deal.
Who knows what these lights are; they could be anything. But the fact is, they're something. Forgeting aliens for a moment, let's assume the lights are from man made objects. Still UFOs, since we don't know what they are. Classified military technology? Private industrial craft; areospace technologies soon to be revealed? Shadow government experiments for sinister purposes? Mind control, weather control, social manipulation? Who knows? But it's something. We shouldn't be so
cavalier as to think unexplained lights in the sky are "just" weird lights, nothing to get excited about.
I was interested in (besides the lights themselves and the UADs in the area, of course) the skeptic angle on this.
And a UFO sceptic from Machynlleth has been left questioning whether such things do exist after filming unexplained orange lights in the sky.Such things "do exist" these suchly things being UFOs, or, strange lights in the sky. What does the skepti-bunkie think terms like "unexplained lights" mean? People see weird lights and objects all the time, and yet, the pathological skeptics persist in their bewildering stance that UFOs don't exist. Intentionally confusing UFOs with aliens from space, skeptoids reject reports of UFOs as being anything interesting, and anything meaningful, let alone aliens.
So when confronted with proof UFOs exist, as in this case, where lights were photographed, the skeptic has to deal.
“I am a bit sceptical when it comes to things like UFOs and aliens but I would be interested in finding out what exactly I did film,” he concluded.This is where skeptoids make it harder for themselves. UFOs doesn't mean alien, although my opinion is that aliens very likely do exist, but that's another topic. UFOs means Unidentified Flying Object, and it's both very funny as well as ridiculously frustrating that this is still being pointed out. Accepting that this skeptic doesn't accept the idea of aliens, what is there not to accept about UFOs?!

Evil Clown Business a Success
This fear and loathing towards clowns is felt by many, and many have picked up on this disgust towards the costumed and unsavory. From Stephen King's IT to Killer Clowns From Space and all kinds of Fortean stuff about clowns in vans, for example, this fear and creeped out reaction has been noticed, and exploited by many. Including this, um, creative I guess, I'll give him that, actor in Switzerland.
Evil clown is a scary success Dominic Deville (last name no doubt pronounced "d-vill" but the word denotes "devil" if we're playing the Fortean name game) hires himself out as an evil clown for children's parties. This is all good clean funny fun for some, and Deville says that if kids get scared they drop the evil clown thing right away.
After he is hired to scare a birthday boy or girl, he first contacts his 'victims' to tell them they're being watched.I love that "if at any point ... their parents are concerned..." wouldn't parents figure that out before they hired a scary clown for their kids party?
Then he taunts them with texts, phone calls and booby-trapped letters warning them that at sometime in their party he's going to smash a cake into their face.
"It's all in fun and if at any point the kids get scared or their parents are concerned we stop right there," he explained.
"But most kids absolutely love being scared senseless."
