Linda Moultan Howe: Oregon Beach Metal Boxes

LMH at her earthfiles.com site reports on the glowing screeching metal boxes on Oregon beachers. There's no there there, according to Howe:
Earthfiles.com Headline News: February 14, 2012 - Oregon Beach Metal Boxes? No Evidence.

“I sent some assistants this weekend to the beach areas that are supposed
to have the ‘unmovable’ metal boxes and there is nothing there.”

- William Hanshumaker, Ph.D., Hatfield Marine Science Center, Newport, Oregon

Thanks to Mike Clelland at hidden experience for the alert.

More on those Wailing Beach Boxes

Another item on the strange metal boxes that have apparently abruptly appeared on Oregon beaches. Many witnesses say these are connected with UFOs, the boxes emit a strange sound, and there doesn't seem to be any way to open them. (I'm not sure I'd want to open one; mysterious origin, glowing and "keening" are characteristics I'd be wary of) Strange Metal Boxes — From Where?

(Speaking of strange metal boxes on the beach, I've asked my mother if she had heard anything about them (she lives on the coast.) She hadn't heard a thing, but offered to ask neighbors and locals... I'll be going out there this weekend.)

The UFO Trail: The Leah Haley Case: The Eglin Expedition

Always thoughtful Jack Brewer continues his research into the experiences of Leah Haley:The UFO Trail: The Leah Haley Case: The Eglin Expedition Haley's experiences have been an interest of mine for several years, so I'm always interested in any developments or theories concerning her encounters.

As some readers know, Haley's comments a few months ago on alien abductions, MILABS and mind control caused controversy within the UFO community. Since I'm not Haley, nor anyone else who's experienced alien abductions, I can't, and won't, say that she is or is not "right." Or, "wrong."

But it's all very interesting and important -- the data is there, the information is there, and all that the rest of us can do is familiarize ourselves with these theories and respectfully consider the information, holding it up against all the other huge shimmering, nebulous pieces of the puzzle.

Elgin Beach and Gulf Breeze "Coincidences"
In his article Brewer discusses Haley's 1991 Elgin experience. For details on that I encourage you to read his article for yourselves. But one thing that is obvious is the fact that Elgin Air Force Base is in the Gulf Breeze area, home of the Ed Walters UFO sightings. Can't be a coincidence.

Brewer is aware of this and goes on to ask very important questions concerning UFO events in that area. If you think aliens were afoot down there, think again.
There is a great deal to be studied and considered about the Gulf Breeze saga. I have now spent years researching certain aspects of how Gulf Breeze relates to the Leah Haley Case, and I can tell you without question I have barely scratched the surface.
ETs/Mind Control/The Others
It seems to me the UFO world is often pathologically divided as to what the answer is concerning UFOs. I think the first problem is that some expect there to be an answer. After all these years it's assumed "it's all ET," "all ultra terrestrials" "all ..."  I think it's obvious it's seemingly complex, often downright convoluted, than that. It's all of those things, and the trick is determining which one is at play at the time of any given event. And often, the question isn't "which one?" but "which ones?"

I'm not sure why the "Mufonians" as Brewer refers to them (I love that) and others continue to reject the idea that human factions are involved in manipulating the UFO phenomena and abusing citizens as part of that manipulation. I'm not talking about the use of cover stories concerning classified planes; I mean the tin foil hat wearing stuff. By calling it "tin foil hat wearing stuff" the rogue and dark aspects of government-industrial-"scientific" invasions into our lives remains trivialized; an embarrassment to UFO researchers, and easy derision by "skeptics" and debunkers. (Who don't count but they're irritating nonetheless.)

Was Leah Haley the victim of insidious human interference? Other abductees have said as much over the years as well. Yet other abductees insist their experiences are literal and very, very real.  As I noted above, why not both? If that's true -- that both exist concurrently -- it certainly adds to the confusion and disinformation, which then causes dissension among witnesses and researchers. .

Humming Boxes on Oregon Beaches

More reports of humming metal boxes appearing on the Oregon coast:UFO sightings reveal more strange metal boxes along coastal beaches | HULIQ

At first look it seems very likely these boxes are debris from Japan. But there is the typical "wait there's more" anomalous elements that ties these boxes in with UFOs, at least according to the this article. Referring to the photo accompanying the article of one of these boxes at Bray's Point, Oregon, it's noted the boxes have been seen before:
The photograph that accompanies this report – taken during the afternoon of Feb. 8 near Bray’s Point -- of yet another strange metal box stuck in the surf up is one of a possible group of a dozen or more that have been sited up and down West Coast beaches. Meanwhile, the British government also photographed similar huge metal boxes on beaches in Sri Lanka in the late 1990’s and in early 2004 and 2005. The discovery of the boxes is detailed in updated previously classified reports from the British government that document sightings of unidentified flying objects by both the military and the general public dating back to the 1950s.
According to the coastal UFO researchers, there's been an increase in UFO sightings recently, coinciding with the boxes.

The boxes are heavy -- "not movable" -- ring, or hum, glow, and coincide with UFO sightings.
While I have no idea what these are of course, it seems irresponsible to go up to these boxes and touch them or attempt to move them.

UPdate: UFO sightings at Stonefield Beach reveal strange boxes up and down coast | HULIQ

Not really an "update" but I've been thinking about this odd case all day. While UFO activity is certainly very strong on the coast, and has been for decades (witness the Reeves affair in Toledo/Newport, circa 1960s) it seems that the timing, among other things, of this particular story points to Japan. It is very possible these boxes are debris from the tsunami. Another possibility: that the boxes have something to do with naval or some other military branch experiments. Or NOAA. (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.) 

Strange events still going on at Stonefield Beach in Oregon. I have to get myself there! As soon as I have the time, I will take a drive out there. Unfortunately I'm inland; about 70 miles from Stonefield Beach. Work and floods (recent rains had literally flooded and closed down access a couple of weeks back) have contributed my inability to explore. UFO sightings at Stonefield Beach reveal strange boxes up and down coast | HULIQ Definitely odd things are happening, like the recent appearance of metal boxes that glow:
It’s as if an alarm went off, when a “high, shrill, piercing, frightening ring caught our attention Sunday evening,” explained Doris, a local senior whose retired and lives nearby Stonefield Beach. “I know crazy things happen over at Stonefield, but when you walk down and see that metal box sort of glowing in the surf it gets your attention real quick.”
That area, as the article notes, has had a history of UFO sightings for some time, as the coast in general. I wonder if this isn't due to some naval operation, or possibly debris washed up from elsewhere. Japan? Not impossible but how likely? It's a mystery at this point.

A related post here at the Orb: I wrote about Stonefield in a round about way and a possible UFO that showed up in a photo on the beach. You can read it and see the photos here.

Out Of Darkness: The Betrayal of Trust and Funding Alien Abduction Research

Excellent piece! Abductions have become the embarrassment of all, it seems, including those who say there's on the right side of things.

Out Of Darkness: The Betrayal of Trust and Funding Alien Abduction Research
So what is a person to do? Whom do they trust? None of these sites has anything substantive about abductions. I have tried to contact by email or personally talk to many different individuals within these organizations, only to be ignored or marginalized. I have heard jokes made at abductees’ expense, I have heard cruel and insensitive ridicule hurled at abductees. It cuts me like a hot knife when I hear these things. Especially from people I respect, who have done so much hard work and contributed so much to the field of ufology; people who have sacrificed so much of their own lives to the study of the field. Not everybody I hang out with in the UFO community knows I am an abductee. I know from experience it affects the way they treat you if they find out.

Trickster Northwest Resurfaces?

Some time ago, I started a blog: Trickster Northwest. I deleted it because I was contributing to Oregon L.O.W.F.I., and decided to spread out the topics posted on TNW across my other blogs. Conspiracy stuff at Octopus Confessional, animal news items at Animal Forteana or other blogs, etc.

Lesley pointed me to this link asking if I had started up again. I hadn't, this blog is the creation of someone going by the screen name of dwito. Actually, this new blog is presented as tricks ter north west. No posts there yet, but looking at the profile; holy moley, he or she has a lot of blogs! I wonder if it's one of those that serve to spam with comments on other blogs.

UFO Disclosure Countdown Clock: Are Skeptics Getting Desparate About The Sky Noise Phenomena?

Rick Phillips on the strange noises from the world's skies:UFO Disclosure Countdown Clock: Are Skeptics Getting Desparate About The Sky Noise Phenomena? As he points out, the skeptics have a lot to say, and about something they know little about:
Find someone who knows nothing about the sky noise phenomena - play the most extreme example of it for a `reaction' - then note that the phenomena is so hot that people are making copies of Other Videos (and still going viral). And, EVIDENTLY - that proves it is all a hoax (regardless if the original copied and faked video is real or not). Yep the smoke and mirrors of the naysayers - and - the public awaits any official word or confirmation in any manner.

Ritzmann clears things up

UPDATE:
Jeff Ritzmann left the following comment on my earlier post, which is here:

Looks like Jacobs and/or his supporters are not finished with things, as Jeremy Vaeni and Jeff Ritzman reveal: Paratopia: Please Note Paratopia has been shut down, and not by them. But they will not be silenced and will soon appear elsewhere.
Jeff clears things up:
Paratopia is not shut down, nor is there any clear evidence to say who complained about some innocuous posts on our message board that were over a year old.

*I* personally deleted the message boards, after ProBoards refused to tell me why such posts were against their TOS, but rather reiterated to take them down.

We will not partake on a message board system that refuses to acknowledge nonsensical complaints, or even look into them. It's ridiculous. So We're off ProBoards.

Paratopia, the podcast, live show, and all the rest is still there operating as usual. A new message board is forthcoming.

This overly sensational and misleading blog title is incorrect.
So there you go.

The Sounds

The sounds. So I suppose I should say something. They are weird. And coming in this time of the New Year, the Year of the Dragon, 2012, ... what with bird falls and ribbon seals and Asian birds appearing in the lower 48, it seems truly a sign. Mother ships revving up, ready for take off, from deep within the earth's core? Ultimate pole shifts? HAARP? Or movie promo? As usual no doubt some of the recordings of "the sound" are hysteria, or outright hoaxes. Typical to have both in Fortean realms. But all of them? And virtually all over the planet? piglipstick comments on the sound and shares an experience: piglipstick: The Sounds Intensify

On the other hand, while the sounds are being reported world wide they seem to land heavily in the U.S. and Europe. Sink holes and earthquakes created by frakking -- any relation? Or are the sounds a marketing campaign? If they are the latter, that brings up a couple of ethical questions. Assuming the sounds are heard by those who put up their videos and recordings on-line are reporting on what they've heard, that means the sounds are intentionally put there by the alleged movie promo folks. Disregarding the feelings of local citizenry and animal life. Nice. This does bring up memories of the Claret gadgets in the skies of California a few years ago, or Spielberg's Super 8 -- we can only continue to wait and watch for more.
