Perhaps this dire and final warning will be heeded, especially since some proof is now available on the Internet for public viewing.<br /> <br />As you may know, not everyone was happy with the recent election of Barack Obama. Namely those members of the approximately 1,000 white supremist groups in the United States. Proof now exists that these white supremists are indeed planning to start a race war. This is NOT something Obama will create but instead a dire situation that others will create because of his election. He would not want this to happen.<br /> <br />What WILL happen is that, on or near January 4th, 2009 these supremists will begin attacking blacks and their families. When the Klu Klux Klan did this in the 1930's the blacks simply took it as part of their fate. The danger this time is that they will no longer take it and that EVERY white American will be in danger during what will be called The American Race War when blacks and eventually other non white victims will kidnap, torture and kill every white person they see.<br /> <br />Areas most dangerous to live in for non supremist whites are as follows:<br />Washington State<br />Oregon<br />California<br />Texas<br />Arizona<br />Utah<br />Montana<br />Wyoming<br />Colorado,<br />Idaho<br />North Dakota<br />South Dakota<br /> <br />The plan is to eventually "cleanse" the land west of the Mississippi River. Those white Americans living east of the Mississippi, especially those living in the midwest, will be safest. Those who refuse to leave the west and refuse to fight will be placed in concentration camps already being set up in various locations within those states.<br />White supremists already plan to have "guardians" at the Canadian Boarder so fleeing to Canada may not be an option.<br />Don't take my word for it.....go now to <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php?t=542624 <br /></span><br />and view their plans for yourself.<br /><br />The leader of the ministry that is issuing this warning is jupiterg2@gmail.com<br /> <br />May God bless us all!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136382830550706926.post-16209423229741718752008-11-19T14:27:00.000-08:002008-11-19T14:31:45.478-08:00WANSTEAD BIGFOOTReports of 'Wanstead Bigfoot' Encounters Continue<br /><br />Posted: 18 Nov 2008 09:27 AM CST<br />More people have come forward claiming to have seen a Bigfoot-like creature in the Wanstead and Woodford area.<br /><br />Last week we revealed how fitness instructor Michael Kent saw a peculiar-looking Bigfoot-like animal emerge from trees near the Hollow Ponds area of Epping Forest, on the border between Wanstead and Leytonstone.<br /><br />And now pensioner Irene Dainty, of Love Lane in Woodford Bridge, claims she was left shaking after she came face to face with a hairy creature which surprised her in her street.<br /><br />Mrs Dainty told the Guardian she was “absolutely convinced” that what she saw was not human, or a normal species of animal life.<br /><br />She said: “I had just come out of my flat and just as I had turned the corner I saw this hairy thing come out of nowhere. I really don’t want to see it again.<br /><br />“It was about 4ft tall and with really big feet and looked straight at me with animal eyes. Then it leaped straight over the wall with no trouble at all and went off into the garden of the Three Jolly Wheelers pub.<br /><br />“I was so terrified that I went around to my neighbour’s house and told her what happened. She couldn’t believe it and asked me if I had been drinking, but I said of course I hadn’t – it was only about 3pm.”<br /><br />Park officials have poured scorn on the so-called witness claims and are adamant there are no strange creatures roaming in Epping Forest.<br /><br />Orelia Vaivadaite works at the Three Jolly Wheelers Pub in Chigwell Road, but said she had not seen anything odd in her back garden.<br /><br />She added: “The manager who lives upstairs may have seen it, but he has recently resigned. He didn’t mention anything to me though.”<br />_________<br /><br />Tim Beckley was recently on Coast to Coast am. He told about a Bigfoot crossing a golf course in Long Island, NY! They seem to be getting more friendly!<br /><br />Then on C2C television "The Unexplained" a Bigfoot researcher was on last night, Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2008. He played a tape of a bigfoot screaming and the video he shot of it.

The two men entered the woods at about 4:45 a.m. It had been raining, and it was very dark. For lighting they had only a "hat light" and a mini mag light.<br /><br />As the fellows walked further into the wooded area, they heard the sound of a coyote howl and the two men stopped. A short time later, they heard coyotes howling from various locations all around the woods. It appeared to be three different packs of the animals. The men had hunted quite often. The one witness told me that he had never heard so many coyotes howling like that before. At times, it was hard for the two men to communicate with each other.<br /><br />Suddenly about 150-200 yards ahead on the other side of a field, they noticed two very dim glowing lights. The lights were about the size of a baseball and about two feet apart, and estimated to be about 15 feet above the ground. They glowed, "like the indiglo color of a watch." The two men thought the lights were odd, but considered that maybe there were some hunters ahead. The men shut off their lights. As they walked forward, in the distance toward where they saw the first glowing lights, they now observed what looked like a flashlight beam flashing back and forth between the tree line.<br /><br />They did not think this was odd, since it was archery season, and there was the possibility that other hunters were in the area. Within minutes of seeing the single light beam, about 10 individual white beams of light suddenly appeared. These light beams which "flashed around," seemed to originate from one point, and were not moving around as if being carried by someone. The beams appeared to be about 10 feet above the ground, and projected parallel with the ground, and extended straight out from the originating location.<br /><br />The other hunter asked out loud, "how many are there?" It seemed odd to the two hunters that these lights did not seem to be trying to find a path through the woods. The men were confused as to what they were seeing. Their attention was then drawn to a glowing figure, moving from the area of the beams of light. "It seemed as though one light beam led it to the field." The glowing human-like form moved about 20 feet out into a grass field. The grass in the area was about six inches tall. The other beams of light suddenly went out.<br /><br />One witness described the being as similar to "a silhouette of a person just glowing, completely glowing." The man said the best way to describe what they saw was if someone took glow in the dark paint, and rubbed it on a person's body. The being was estimated to be about three feet tall, the head may have been a little larger than a human, and the upper part of the body seemed to lean forward.<br /><br />The arms appeared to hang straight down, and were longer than that of a human. The legs were hard to see, as the glow was blocking out the shape. The color of the glow was described as a light green, lime color. The being seemed to be moving at twice the speed of the two men, who were walking fast. It actually gave the impression that it was gliding, and no sound was heard.<br /><br />The one man recalled that he was becoming quite shook up during the incident, and he began to whistle out loud. Moments later, the being, which had been moving steadily, just"stopped on a dime." It remained motionless for about 30 seconds. It then moved about 20 feet into the field, "then suddenly just vanished." It disappeared in front of their eyes, and was not seen again. Within about two minutes after the being disappeared, all of the coyotes in the area suddenly stopped howling. The entire incident lasted a total of about five minutes.<br /><br />As one witness told me, "I know what I saw. I just don't know what it was." The men went back to the location later that day and looked around for any traces where they had seen the lights and the mysterious being, but nothing was found. The men tried to rationalize what they had experienced, and would be interested to know if anyone has seen anything similar in that area.<br /><br />This incident occurred amongst a series of other UFO reports, which have been ongoing across Pennsylvania in recent weeks and months. Actually, UFO activity has been active all year across the state. My PA UFO Hotline, as well as the National UFO Reporting Center, and the PA MUFON, have all been receiving sighting reports. While there have been numerous observations reported in the eastern part of the state, there has also been UFO activity in the southwestern areas as well. Among the recent UFO sightings which I have been investigating are the following.<br /><br />About 2 a.m. on the morning of August 12, 2008, a witness who lives in a rural area between Greensburg and Youngwood, PA, in Westmoreland County, observed a bright light shining in a window. Upon looking outside, the witness observed what was described as two huge double headlights side by side. The lights, which had a yellow cast to them, were just across the road in front of another house, and very low above the ground. At first the observer thought that it must have been a helicopter, but there was no sound, and no rotor blades were apparent. After several minutes, the lights rose very slowly, and moved off into the sky over the trees.<br /><br />There were a number of independent UFO reports from Allegheny and Westmoreland counties, reported during the early morning hours of September 5, 2008. About 12:30 a.m., near New Stanton, a witness observed some oddities in the sky. In the distance, what looked like a fire in the sky above a tree line was observed. (Another similar report came in later from another area.) The luminous display soon disappeared, and a strange object was soon observed in the western sky. This object was round and glowed white, with flashing blue and red lights at the bottom area. The object suddenly vanished, as though someone turned off a power switch.<br /><br />A second object soon appeared toward the south. This object was moving and was larger in size than the first, and somewhat football shaped. This object moved rather fast, and appeared to drop close to the ground in the distance. With binoculars, the glowing white object, appeared to be perfectly round, with glowing red rectangular lights that did not flash, and were evenly spaced around the outside perimeter.<br /><br />At almost the same time, another report was received from a man who was driving near South Park, outside of Pittsburgh. The driver suddenly observed two brilliant lights which were equally spaced, which he noticed as they came into view above his windshield. The lights came from the back of his car, and had moved towards the front. Within seconds, a second set of similar lights came into view. These lights were about three feet in diameter and did not blink.<br /><br />The driver indicated that the layout of the lights would mimic the proportions generally of a standard piece of typing paper with a large light at each corner. The lights seemed to be attached to an object, which was estimated to be about 20 feet wide, and 50 feet long. The object was no more than 100 feet above the ground and was completely silent. The object made a sharp bank and accelerated into the sky above some trees.<br /><br />At about 2:50 a.m. that same morning near Jeannette, a large orange ball of light was observed moving slowly across the clear sky. The light was estimated to be about a 1,000 feet up, moving east to west, and seemed to be almost floating. It suddenly vanished from sight as though someone shut off a switch.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">THURSDAY'S CHILD</span><br /><br />________________________________________________Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136382830550706926.post-42233004765624508052008-09-21T20:52:00.000-07:002008-09-21T20:55:31.619-07:00RUTH MONTGOMERYI recently read her book on predictions her guides gave her as to what will happen to Planet Earth. There were many pages about the Shift they predicted. This book was written in 1999. Since then Ruth has passed on. What I was interested in was what they said about the president, assuming it is the candidate that is running now.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">THE WORLD TO COME</span><br />By Ruth's Guides<br /><br />"Approximately five years ago the Guides said that they now foresaw a delay in the shift, explaining: "We have always told you that we could not tell you its exact time, because that is in God's hands. But we have also foreseen a Walk-in American president in place before then, preparing jobs and housing in safe areas. Since we do not now see a Walk-in president during this last decade of the century, we feel certain that the Shift will be delayed."<br /><br />Inasmuch as no Walk-in candidate is yet in sight, this would indicate that no shift will occur before 2010 or 2012, since four years elapse between our presidential elections, and the then-president would require a few years to put his plan into operation after his election.<br />....<br /><br /><br />Readers of my previous books are aware of the Guides' prediction that a Walk-in will become president of the United States before the Shift occurs, and will be extremely helpful in preparing our nation, as well as others, with sage advice.<br /><br />For those unfamiliar with the term, the Guides define Walk-ins as high-minded entities from the spirit plane who are permitted under certain circumstances to take over the unwanted bodies of other human beings, who then depart into spirit.<br /><br />The motivation for the Walk-ins must be humanitarian, to help others and benefit humankind. The exchange cannot be made for selfish purposes, and it bears no resemblance to the many documented cases of possession, in which multiple egos, or malevolent spirits invade an inhabited body, creating havoc for all concerned.<br />....<br /><br /><br /><br />The Guides have consistently refused to make known the identity of the Walk-in president. They indicated that the transferal of egos occurred rather recently and that the current occupant of that body is not yet fully aware of his destiny, "although he has been through a traumatic experience that will awaken him to that awareness."<br />....<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The Guides said the Walk-in has already "come to some prominence, although he is not currently viewed as a savior of the nation. He will providentially appear and announce such sensible plans for rescuing the economy and feeding the starving people that both parties will listen to him. (It is) one who has held a public office before he became a Walk-in.'<br /><br />Describing the Walk-in president as "a dedicated, spiritual person," they declared that he will be a "godsend not only to Americans and Canadians, but to others throughout the planet, as he advises their governments and gives counsel to many."<br />....<br /><br /><br /><br />In the 1991 message they further wrote: "The Walk-in whose name is already familiar to many but not to all Americans will undergo the transformation within the next two or three years, and thereby be ready to assume the helm. His reputation will already have been established under the present identity, but many will remark the alteration in him shortly thereafter."<br /><br />The following day they declared that "during the next few years there will be tremendous alterations in the weather patterns, so that these recent years will be regarded in retrospect as idyllic." Continuing their predictions of earthquakes, floods, and "tornadoes that will rip through the heartland of America," they added: "That is when the Walk-in will become exceedingly prominent, as he will by then have undergone a revolution from within. His candidacy will be announced, and he will be overwhelmingly elected, as he advises people on safe moves and prepares to set up government-endorsed housing and businesses in Sections of America that seem most likely to survive the Shift. Meanwhile, leaders in Europe and Asia will be casting about for similar projects and seeking advice from this American president."<br /><br />From time to time I sought to know the identity of the promised Walk-in, but the Guides have consistently refused to divulge it. They did occasionally drop hints, as if we were playing a guessing game on Jeopardy! In May of 1993 they said that the individual "is already in office, in a rather unpublicized position, and will be assembling a fine set of solutions before his presidential race."<br /><br />In January of 1994 the Guides were still reporting that the mysterious president-to-be had not completed the soul exchange. Referring to the body's present identity, they said: "the future president is now prominent but has not yet become a Walk-in. That will occur when he suddenly awakens to the futility of politics and the power game and will surrender his soul to the spirit plane, making way for his own replacement. When that occurs, many will be amazed at the alteration in his personality and goals. Some will scoff that it is for political purposes, but it will actually be the Walk-in who has taken over and who plunges into the task of preparing people for dramatic alterations in Earth and weather patterns."<br /><br />Another day they tantalized me by writing: "His advent into body will occur shortly, so watch for hints of a rather radical change in a fairly prominent man. The Walk-in will be full of ideas and plans as he enters the new body that is already well established politically. He foresees from this side what needs to be done to alert people and prepare the safe areas for habitation by large numbers."<br />....<br /><br /><br />The exchange of the souls had apparently occurred between the Walk-in president-to-be and his predecessor, because in July 1998 they wrote: "Now for the Walk-in. His name is recognizable to you, although you do not know him. He has been in the government in some very good spots heretofore, and now that he has become a Walk-in he will begin to energize that body and formulate plans for meeting the crises facing America and the world. The substitution of ego has occurred, although not in a particularly dramatic way. His predecessor in that body was dispirited and sick of politics for the sake of playing games, and was ready to depart. Since he was in a good position to step forward through name recognition, he was willing to let another take his place, and that has been effected. He is still adjusting but will be heard from more dramatically as the time approaches for the nominating conventions. He is neither liberal nor conservative, as those terms are used today. He is sensible and aware, and has great sensitivity to the needs of others. He will be nominated and elected. All for now.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">THIS IS IMPORTANT TOO</span>....<br /><br />Later they contributed another "progress report." Reminding me that the Antichrist is now in a "somewhat minor position in government," they added: "But he will begin to rise as he realizes his full potential for evil. Let us emphasize that he is not Satan, but a longtime disciple of that rebellious one, and has had many previous Earth lives. He is fairly young still, but on the borderline of becoming eligible for the presidency at the turn of the century. That will be his ambition, and after the Walk-in president is installed in office, the Anti-Christ will try to move forward, making waves and attracting attention.<br /><br />"As the Shift approaches he will begin to propose logical-sounding propositions to solve the problems and will attract followers, as he is a compelling speaker with what will seem to be a pleasing personality. He cares nothing for truth, so he will promise everything to everyone and say that he is the one person who can lead them out of the miseries of this decade. He will not be elected in 2000, but he will move into the turmoil immediately following the Shift, calling on all to follow him, and many will do so for a time, until he is unmasked for the evil incarnate that he is.<br /><br />At a later date the Guides added: "The Antichrist will make his real grab for power after the Shift, when people are beset by problems and frantic for solutions, and he will soon attempt to become a dictator with powers to regulate all human activities. This will awaken thinking people to the perils of following such a person. His true colors will be seen, and he will eventually meet physical death through violent means. We do not wish to say more about him at this time."<br /><br /><br />Does that sound like anyone you know? Be aware. Be very aware.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Thursday's Child</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com32tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136382830550706926.post-87148891466576719392008-09-15T08:10:00.000-07:002008-09-15T08:16:53.371-07:00DR. EDWARD CARLOS ET ALClassic Mysteries<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Retired College Teacher Recalls UFO Alien Contacts & Little Man Encounter</span><br />By Brent Raynes<br /><br />Dr. Edward Carlos has retired now from his many years as a teacher at Tennessee’s University of the South in Sewanee. For 34 years he taught there, while also directing the University gallery and chairing the Fine Arts Department. When I wrote some about his experiences years ago, we had to be careful because of his professional career and reputation. “Now that I’ve retired and cannot be fired for speaking about those mystical and/or visionary experiences/encounters that befall me, I no longer hide myself from anyone,” he recently wrote.<br /><br />In fact, Dr. Carlos would like me to let you know about his art center called IONA: Art Sanctuary, located in Sewanee, Tennessee. Check out his website: www.ionalightfall.com. He explains that his artworks “actually stem from thoughts/expressions/insights concerning the encounter-oriented messages, teachings, and visions thereby related to an altered state/perspective. I don’t mind that being known as I lecture/talk about the experiences stemming from these encounters to all visitors now.”<br /><br />Dr. Carlos even met and worked some with the noted abduction researcher Dr. John Mack, spoke on UFOs at Harvard, and was included in a chapter on his experiences in Dr. Mack’s book, Abduction: Human Encounters With Aliens (1994), though he never felt that Dr. Mack had a real clear understanding of the so-called “abduction” phenomenon and the complex elements that composed it. Earlier I had written about the influence on Dr. Carlos’s artwork connected with experiences he had on the island of Iona, off the coast of Scotland, with strange illuminations in the sky and on the landscape, psychological disorientation, and inexplicable lapses in time.<br /><br />Recently Dr. Carlos shared with me this personal experience that also happened to him and a “priest-friend” on that Scottish island. It is truly a classic episode in terms of the mythic landscape on which this incident is said to have transpired, a land steeped in the traditions and legends of those famous beings of classic British Isle mythology: elves, fairies, and leprechauns.<br /><br />Dr. Carlos wrote:<br /><br />“On Iona island in the Inner Hebrides many years back, a priest and I<br /><br />became lost and disoriented a bit on the high mountain summit area of<br /><br />the island; as evening commenced we realized we would have to locate<br /><br />and follow the coastline of cliffs and crags until we reached an area<br /><br />we might know in order to make our way back to the little town of<br /><br />Iona. The hikers' path would disappear in the darkness, and with<br /><br />night at that time of the year (autumn) temperatures fall drastically.<br /><br />Climbing with great struggle over some coastline ridges we pulled<br /><br />ourselves up to the height of a small flat ledge (maybe 30 x 30 ft.<br /><br />in area-size jutting out from the higher cliff) to find a stone house<br /><br />with maybe 8 ft. high walls topped by a moss-covered roof, no doors<br /><br />and no windows). Surprising a wee being (maybe a foot and a half-two<br /><br />feet high) (dressed in knickers et al and who looked like the<br /><br />traditional leprechaun image), this small guy leapt off the ledge<br /><br />near where he was standing in the opposite direction from us into<br /><br />what looked (later when on the ledge) to us like a large rough<br /><br />mass-jumble of boulders. We could not find him, once on the ledge,<br /><br />but we walked all around the house, touching the sides, but as night<br /><br />was ensuing, we had to continue and move on. When my St. Michael's<br /><br />Triumph altar artwork was dedicated at a subsequent Sunday morning<br /><br />mass, the sermon given by the priest-friend was on belief in angels,<br /><br />spirits, and fairies. On another (trip) to Iona maybe 18 and/or 20 years<br /><br />later, I searched but could not find any area resembling our earlier<br /><br />climb, and, thus, no ledge and no windowless-doorless house and no<br /><br />little guy.”<br /><br />As Jacques Vallee pointed out nearly four decades ago in his thought-provoking book, Passport To Magonia, perhaps there is a deep and profound fabric of significance to the centuries old “little people” lore of the British Isles (and numerous other parts of the world) and the “little men” associated with our modern UFO encounter accounts.<br /><br />I had shared Dr. Carlos’s story with Priscilla Wolf (read Reality Checking), and she in turn shared this interesting story:<br /><br />“My cousin, who goes elk hunting in the Colorado mountains, along with his brother, went to an area they never been before. He said by a big Ponderosa tree there was an untouched cabin home not lived in but beautiful, and they check it out and marked the big tree to come back later and find the owner and try to buy it. Oh well, later he said they went back and they found the tree marked but no cabin. Only the forest full of trees.”<br /><br />Getting back to Dr. Carlos’s UFO encounters, he described his beings in those instances as consisting of those who are about five feet tall, seemingly “telepathic,” and the “little ones” who are about three feet tall and from whom “no communication ever has occurred.” He has seemingly had some pretty amazing “alien” encounters and discourses. He recalled another encounter in Kentucky as he wrote: “Returning from my daughter’s graduation from college. We stopped at a motel, and while I was getting our suitcases from the trunk of the car (my daughter was already in the motel room), a somewhat large (wider than the motel, circular in form) craft came down almost immediately above the motel and parking lot. As it went overhead É the stars were blocked from sight. I screamed for my daughter to come out on the balcony, but she missed it. The craft flew over the highway and on into/over a large open field (not landing, I thought) across the road.”<br /><br />“That craft wasn’t so huge actually, but it was wider than the motel unit but not as long, and circular which is almost always the case for me. Actually pretty much ‘standard’ size (I know; what is standard size?) I would estimate the craft to be about the size of six-eight cars parked close together or perhaps just wider than two motel rooms side by side unless that would be less in width than the motel unit.”<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">THURSDAY'S CHILD</span><br />________<br /><br />Check out Brent Raynes Alternate Perceptions magazine.

It’s being called one of the “most legitimate and credible” human-alien confrontation stories in decades, and the story is nothing else if fascinating and sensational. Here is what has been happening, as reported by the Fargo Forum:Evan Briese, 16, woke early on the morning of Sept. 16 and saw something big moving among a corral where a number of very large hogs were kept -- the hogs were basically family pets. Evan grabbed a gun, thinking it might be a coyote -- but what he saw in the corral shocked him to the bone! Evan Briese encountered two creatures standing 8 to 9 feet tall that were doing something to one of the hogs. He fired his .22-caliber rifle at one creature which emitted an unearthly scream. Another creature then grabbed the boy and threw him to the ground, causing him to black out. When Evan Briese awoke, he found that Ruthy, a 450-pound sow that had been ready to give birth, was gone.<br /><br />The boy ran to the home of his older sister, Trista, a short distance from the house he shares with his parents.Trista Briese made a frantic phone call to her parents and it wasn’t long before they, and later the Kidder County sheriff, were on the scene. The sheriff, Doug Howard, then left but came back the next day. He ultimately came to no conclusions about what happened to the hog, Myra Briese said. Several days later, with the help of a hypnotist, Evan Briese remembered more details.Five entities had been in the corral. Two were in the process of dragging what appeared to be a dead hog when the boy interrupted them.As for the other incidents, one was in April when Evan and his cattle dog, Buster, were checking on cows during calving season, his parents said. Investigating a flashing glow, the pair walked over a hill and saw an object resting on the ground that appeared to be scanning a waterhole with an intense beam of light. At first, boy and dog could do nothing but stare. The spell was broken when Buster ran barking at the craft, which took off into the night, causing what amounted to a sonic boom.“It woke Myra up,” Torrey Briese said of the sound, adding that he, too, witnessed something unusual this past summer. It happened one night in July, when he was giving a neighbor a ride into town. Briese said he and the neighbor noticed a bluish light in the sky, which stopped when they stopped and moved when they began driving.<br /><br />“We spent about a half-hour watching it,” Briese said, adding that at one point the object flew so fast it went several miles in a matter of seconds. Based on the description of the object his son saw in April, Briese links the two events, adding that he’s never been given to flights of fancy.“Evan and I are very skeptical,” Torrey Briese said. “We used to watch ‘The UFO Files’ on TV and laugh out loud.” Briese said he wouldn’t be surprised if people feel the same about his story, but he said the family doesn’t feel a need to prove anything and they’ve moved on. “We’re not out looking for aliens every night,” he said.Brice Barnick, the mayor of Tappen -- located off Interstate 94 between Bismarck and Jamestown -- said visits by UFOs are the talk of the town, though he himself is not quite on board. “I’m not saying it can’t happen. But I’d have to see it to believe it,” Barnick said. At the time of the April incident, the Brieses were put in touch with Richard Moss, a UFO investigator who happened to be in Tappen for a funeral.Moss, of Long Prairie, Minn., is the Minnesota representative of the Mutual UFO Network, an organization based in Colorado dedicated to the study of UFO phenomena. Moss, a former high school science teacher, said that in many years of investigating UFO reports, only a handful have impressed him as having the potential to be genuine. The Tappen incidents, he said, fall into the latter category.“There are a lot of people out there who are telling false stories. The credibility of the witness is a big thing,” Moss said. In the case of Evan Briese, Moss said it was interesting to view the boy’s demeanor before and after the hypnotic regression. Prior to hypnosis, “He (Briese) had a sort of unsure look on his face.<br /><br />He was still really wondering what had happened. After the hypnotic regression, he knew. He was made to remember,” Moss said. Sheriff Howard was off duty Thursday and could not be reached for comment.John Lemieux, a Kidder County deputy, said he did not believe the incident in September resulted in a written report. Torrey Briese said strange things are still happening. A relative who farms in the Tappen area recently had a sheep die, and a veterinarian who examined the animal found no obvious reason for its death, Briese said. A cause of death wasn’t the only thing missing. Someone, Briese said, removed a single testicle from the animal. It was done with surgical precision, he added.<br />________________________________________________Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136382830550706926.post-30384061947816823102008-08-29T10:50:00.000-07:002008-08-29T10:51:51.069-07:00CRAZY BEARS AND UFOSBy Brad Steiger August 19 2008<br /><br /><br />With all the feuding, fighting, and fussing that has always seemed to divide the Bigfoot Hunters among us, there appears to be at least one point of agreement: Every Native American tribe seems to have ancient accounts of some kind of interaction with these large human-like creatures that stretches back for centuries, long before the Europeans invaded the shores of Turtle Island.<br /><br />There are numerous points of contention. First of all, does Bigfoot, Sasquatch, whatever, even exist. If there is some kind of agreement that the creature fits into some category of beingness, the arguments may grow more intense and include 1.) the possibility that the Bigfoot is not a physical being, but a multidimensional interloper, and 2.) that there is a direct tie between UFO's and these giant creatures. Numerous UFOlogists have argued the possibility that such great hairy bipeds could be experimental creatures from spacecraft left loose on Earth.<br /><br />Some years ago, James C. Wyatt of Memphis, Tennessee, sent me a copy of his grandfather's journal which contained fascinating and startling entries, written in straightforward fashion, which, if interpreted literally, may indicate that an association between Bigfoot-type creatures and UFOs has existed for quite some time.<br /><br />In a journal dated 1888, Wyatt's grandfather records that he was somewhere along the Humboldt Line in the "Big Woods Country" where his father and several cowhands had wintered with a local tribe after delivering some cattle to a fort further north. Grandfather Wyatt was fluent in many tribal languages, proficient in sign language, and partook of most of the tribal activities.<br /><br />One day he came upon a man from the tribe carrying a large platter of raw meat.<br /><br />At first the man seemed afraid to answer Wyatt's questions concerning his errand, but he finally bade the cattleman to follow him.<br /><br />In a shallow cave in a cliff face dwelt a beast with long, shiny black hair that covered its entire body, except for its palms and an area around its eyes. The manlike creature did not seem wild or vicious; it sat cross--legged, Indian-style, to wolf the raw meat. Wyatt described the creature as built like a big, well-developed man, except for its lack of neck and its long body hair. The creature's head seemed to rest directly on its shoulders.<br /><br />Wyatt visited the man-beast in the cave more than a dozen times. After much questioning, and receiving two pounds of tobacco, a compass, and an axe, one of the men from the tribe took Wyatt to a high pinnacle of rock one clear night to tell him of the creature's origin.<br /><br />"Crazy Bear," as the thing was called by the Indians, had been brought to the "Big Woods" from the stars. A "small moon" had flown down like a swooping eagle and had landed on a plateau a few miles away from the tribe's encampment. The beast in the cave and two other "crazy bears" had been flung out of the "moon" before the craft had once again soared off to the stars.<br /><br />The man told Wyatt that other "crazy bears" had been left in the vicinity over the years. Wyatt's guide and several of his fellow villagers had occasionally seen the "men" who put the crazy bears off the small moons. They did, nor look like the giant hairy ones, but appeared to be more like men such as themselves. The men from the small moon had much shorter hair than the tribes people, though, and they wore shiny clothing. They always waved to the Indians in a friendly manner before they closed the door in their small moon and flew back to the stars.<br /><br />The crazy bears had been led to the village by the Indians, and at no time had the hairy giants offered any resistance to their benefactors. The Indians believed that the crazy bears from the stars had been sent to bring them powerful medicine, and they would not permit the creatures to stray away lest they be captured by rival tribes.<br /><br />I cannot help wondering if the oft-reported monsters and robots seen near UFO landing sites are similar to the "crazy bears" that certain Amerindian tribes were well aware of back in the last century.<br /><br />Perhaps, as some researchers suggest, the Bigfoot-type creatures are deposited here by extraterrestrial UFOnauts to test our environment in the same manner that we might one day in the future deposit primates on a planet whose atmosphere we wanted to evaluate in terms of a potential landing.<br /><br />In a lengthy letter to me, James Wyatt speculated: "Who is to say the Crazy Bears weren't exiled to our planet for some crime or other infraction of the laws of another planet [or dimension, we might add]?<br /><br />"On the other hand, it is not inconceivable that the hairy ones are the food animals of some distant world and have been planted here on Earth to produce herds, just as the old shipmasters used to place pigs and goats on islands to multiply and furnish food for later voyagers.<br /><br />"That they have not proliferated in great numbers may be due to their inability to provide for themselves, especially if they have been kept as produce animals for generations.<br /><br />"Or, perhaps, the climate, the atmosphere, or the food available to them is against their best survival purposes. Who knows?"<br /><br />Who, indeed? I do know that I have spent a good many years attempting to find out. It may be a bit unnerving to suggest that Bigfoot may be the property of some other-dimensional interlopers or potential extraterrestrial colonists. By the same token, so may we fit into a similar category--and I find that infinitely more unnerving.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136382830550706926.post-57096095199372762742008-08-17T08:53:00.000-07:002008-08-17T08:55:36.261-07:00NDE - LOUIS FAMOSO FROM IANDS<span style="font-weight:bold;">NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE IN 1963: MAN "SHOWN" 9/11, NIBIRU, EARTH CHANGES, ASCENSION OF ALL, NEW EARTH, & MUCH MORE!</span><br />[link to www.near-death.com]<br /><br />The following is a "Life After Death" (LAD) experience of Louis Famoso in the year of Our Lord 1963, from a car accident.<br /><br />I felt a little cramped with my head presses against the roof of the Fairlane and then I looked down to see the three girls crying and shouting hysterically to the driver to hurry up, when it hit me, "WOW, that's me on their laps and there's nobody home!"<br /><br />I'm looking at what was left of my poor, crumpled Mustang from out the window. The other me is just laying there without a care. I tried to tell the girls I was alright and they could stop the crying and slow down a bit. I reached for the driver to get her attention and she turned her head slightly toward me. She seemed to be talking to the girl holding my other head and not to me. She was saying that she was going as fast as this 8 banger would go.<br /><br />I looked at the 110 on the speedometer and thought, "Well hell, I could go through another crash again. That last one was now a piece of cake but I don't know about that other me laying on the girls laps. He looks in pretty bad shape even to me.<br /><br />I felt no pain, no fear and I was with five girls speeding down the highway, me and me. What a night so far!<br /><br />It's a good thing the girls had a base sticker on their car because the guard at the gate barely had time to wave them through. They were way ahead of him and through the gate in a flash, shouting to him that they were going to the hospital. I kind of chuckled and waved to him out the back window as we flew bye but he never waved back.<br /><br />When we pulled up to the hospital, both girls in the front ran out like it was a relay race and they hit the doors running. I started to get out and headed for the swinging doors when they were back already with two corpsman and a gurney. I stepped aside to watch them load that other me on it and as they whisked him away, I watched the other three girls compose themselves. All five headed toward the emergency room.<br /><br />I decided to follow since no one seemed to notice me and I wanted to see what all the commotion was about.<br /><br />There were nurses and corpsmen and a doctor all fussing about and a couple of the girls were at the front desk giving information about me to the desk clerk while the rest of them were pressing their noses against the operating room windows. I walked down the corridor and looked at some of the people sitting on the benches and chairs, apparently waiting their turn to be attended to, but there was the other me at the head of the line, so I excused myself and headed there also.<br /><br />I walked straight through the doors and walked around the doctor and nurses who were tearing off my clothes and swabbing me down. The doctor noticed the large hole in the side of my head and was cleaning it up when the corpsman, that was standing toward my side, asked if he could stitch up the gash on my hand. The doctor said it would be OK since he [the doctor] didn't think I would make it anyway.<br /><br />He said something about having to put a "plate" in my head but that I had lost a tremendous amount of blood and didn't know if I would survive much longer. The nurse asked if she should have the base Chaplin standby, so the doctor lifted my dog tags.<br /><br />When he read "Agnostic" and Blood type "O neg," he said " I don't think this kid would care but you can call him if you want!"<br /><br />I thought that was a bit insensitive, and I wasn't happy about a corpsman practicing on my hand either. I thought to myself, "I should lodge a complaint," but just as those thoughts flickered past, I started to float up toward the ceiling.<br /><br />It finally hit me that I could see myself on the table being operated on desperately and I could now see the me that was mostly translucent floating above it all.<br /><br />I looked around as I floated higher and higher and noticed the dirt and dust on the florescent lights in the operating room and thought, "Somebody's going to hear about this too."<br /><br />I heard the doctor say, "Tag`n`bag him. We're not going to need that plate nurse. Corpsman, are you done on that hand?"<br /><br />"Yes sir," he replied.<br /><br />The doctor said, "Fine, sheet him for now son."<br /><br />I knew what was going on just then to the me I knew. But I wasn't ready for what was about to happen to the "me" I now was.<br /><br />I was about to attempt to reach the girls that were now crying and hugging each other but instead of going forward. I was being pulled backward and upward. I had no sense of fear, none of loss. Actually, all I felt was wonderment and curiosity and an anticipation of what was to come.<br /><br />I entered what I thought looked like the Holland tunnel without the cars and traffic and the ability to see what looked like light at its end. It was dark but not black. The path was slightly illuminated from what I thought to be the sunlight shining from the other end.<br /><br />As I was being drawn toward the lighted end of the tunnel, I carefully looked around, even squinting to see into the darker recesses.<br /><br />I passed what I thought to be very religious men doing what they would do when praying to their GODS. They were all dressed in their finest garbs, robes, togas, head dresses, loin cloths and the like. Most of them were off to the sides of the tunnel, but one of them, that I seemed to float right over, looked oriental with a long grayish Fu Man Chu, sitting there in the middle of the tunnel with his hands clasped and his feet crossed.<br /><br />Since I had just completed two tours "in country," I figured he must represent the last of the religions I sought to make my own. I was raised Catholic but withdrew from that faith at an early age and delved into many others from the Mian to Koran to Hopi as well as all North and South American Native beliefs. It looked like they were all represented here.<br /><br />When I floated past the monk just below me, I thought he could actually see me because it appeared like he began to smile a smile of passage. All the other religious men were mumbling sounds of prayer and were moving their arms about as if making gestures of a blessing. I wasn't sure if they were blessing me or the tunnel. I noticed none of them were actually standing or sitting in the tunnel but appeared to be levitated. I wanted to stop and speak with some of them, maybe ask a few questions like who they were and how long have they been here, but I was being whisked away toward the light.<br /><br />I saw wisps of smoke I believed to be incense. It came from all portions of the great tunnel from one end to the other. I could see and smell, but I had yet to have the sensation of touch since my feet were never touching the tunnels floor. I seemed to be traveling squarely in the center as I drifted toward the end. The closer I got to the end of the tunnel, the brighter things got, and as I neared the end, it was like coming face to face with a huge canvas that was just recently blazed in the brightest white of whites. An empty canvas, ready to be painted upon and I awaited that painting.<br /><br />Then in an instant, my entire life, starting from birth through the present was flashing before my eyes like a strobe light at half speed. Frame after frame, some parts in freeze frame, if only for a second, then on to the next. I felt as if I was being subjected to a test to see if this was in fact the "me" that was supposed to be here. Then it ended as fast as it had begun. The last scene was that of a rolling mass of metal finally bursting into flames, and I was looking at the canvas again.<br /><br />While staring into the vast whiteness, I glanced down to look at my body and use it for a reference, only to find the translucent outline I once had was no longer there.<br /><br />I thought, "How could this be? Am I now part of this empty white canvas, but if I were, then where are my thoughts coming from to be asking these questions?"<br /><br />Instantly I recognized a brilliant glowing ball of gold headed my way. It grew larger as it grew nearer and when it reached about the size of a beach ball, just above and in front of me, it radiated brilliantly and transformed into an indescribable being of pure LIGHT, now levitated right in front of me.<br /><br />It was larger then the tallest person I had ever seen, wider then two of me but so evenly proportioned as to be of Magnificent Stature. It's features were outlined as if made with a fine ink quill. Hair, face, robe, all Golden and flowing as would an electric charge perhaps even a nuclear charge. This was energy personified. As its form took on a more solid shape, all that was behind It did as well. It was as if the entire canvas of white, I had come to at the end of the tunnel, was now alive and I was part of it. Other figures appeared in front and behind the being and myself. Soon there was activity all about, above and below, on every side, more beings, each of different brightness, sizes, and hues. Structures and landscapes sprung from everywhere all in a crystalline state, all inhabited by these lesser light beings - some winged, most not - some fully formed, others not - yet even others appeared only as glowing Orbs of light and color, bouncing as would bubbles in a glass of carbonated water.<br /><br />I could stand it no longer, every emotion I had ever known was welling up in me ten fold. Just when I thought to speak, to question, the being spoke to me. It's voice was as a chorus of voices, not male not female, not loud not soft, not deep but perfect and all encompassing.<br /><br />As I looked at the two gigantic, magnificent beings dressed in brilliant capes just off to It's side, IT said, "That is Michael and Gabriel. Michael has chosen you as his and Gabriel shall teach you the ways."<br /><br />I looked past them to another large being, so beautiful but darker in contrast, as was the sprawling robe it wore. This being had eyes that pleased but pierced with its gaze, and the light being said, "That is he who has been cast out. You who I have given choice may go with any of these of your choosing."<br /><br />I thought as I had a choice, and Michael had already chosen me then I would chose him.<br /><br />He appeared so strong and mighty, as did the others, but in his eyes seemed a fire that was drawing and captivating to me. Gabriel's eyes were softer and gave more in an understanding manner and I thought, "Oh, how absolutely beautiful are these beings."<br /><br />I then looked to the being before me and Its eyes were full of love and warmth, authoritative and compelling. He seemed to have approved of my choice. Then said to me, "You will be my soldier and you will go with Michael for a while. Gabriel will come to you at times. I will send others to you and your fruit shall not fall far from the tree in the time of the Gathering."<br /><br />Just then I saw five Orbs of light. They seemed to be playing, swirling round and about the being and myself. They had appeared from the outlying landscape and I noticed they were all the same size and shape but of different hues as subtle as shades of rose petals, save one which had a bluish hue. Two of the pinkish ones seemed exactly alike, the other two were yet deeper in shades of red and orange. Before I could ask, IT spoke and said, "They, like all here are of you, who are of me, but these will come to you and you will care for them more. They will fly apart but come together at the time of the Gathering."<br /><br />I thought the being might be telling me these were my children but I was only 21 and not only had never been married but had no plans to. I didn't understand how all this was of me and me of HE.<br /><br />Then a magnificent crystal serving platter appeared and it shimmered the colors of many rainbows. In an instant it shattered into thousands of pieces, each piece brilliant in its own right. Ever so slowly, all the pieces began to rejoin themselves to once again form the original serving platter. I now knew what this Being of Light was showing me. We pieces are the platter. I was just one of those thousands of pieces, as were all those I was seeing here and those back in the "world."<br /><br />Now my mind was still trying to ponder the Gathering. As I thought what could this mean, the being answered, "Here you will see the signs that bring forth the Gathering,"<br /><br />With that I saw frames appear like screens on a TV set. When I looked into the screens, the visions would gather up, pop off in an image, and enter my mind. I felt as if I was being pushed back with its impact.<br /><br />They were only glimpses but they were so realistic, as if happening right there in front of me in the now. I could not turn away.<br /><br />Then it seemed that I had become a part of each of these visions. There were scenes of men in uniform killing other men in uniforms. I recognized some of the insignias and some were from the USA. There were also thousands of them not in uniforms killing even more thousands not in uniform. It was like looking at toy figures moving on their own, mowing down other figures, different countries, different nations, different religions, different weapons, different decades, but always resulting in hundreds of thousands dead and dying. I wanted out of there. I could feel the pain these people were suffering.<br /><br />I asked the being, "Why was this and how long was this to go on?"<br /><br />The being said, "Man will prey on man until man will pray for man."<br /><br />The next vision was of floods - many of them spilling across the earth on different continents in different seasons. I am again walking among it, feeling the force and taking in the smell of death. Hundreds of lives and acres upon acres of crops were lost as well as hundreds of stock and wild animals floating away into the abyss.<br /><br />Then I was watching volcanoes from around the world erupting, first one then another. The molten lava burying whole towns and villages and the people and animals within them. I gazed among the ruins and saw little left of what once stood there.<br /><br />The last vision I saw in the screen were of earthquakes destroying sections of almost every continent. One was a massive one in America - most others were in Europe and the Orient. Again, thousands are killed. Structures are crumpled. The landscape leveled. I turned again to the being and he said, "There will not only be more of what you have seen but there will come a time when it will all happen at the same time and it will come at the same time of mans' greatest sins."<br /><br />I didn't have time to ask, when HE said, "They will turn from ME and claim themselves like Gods."<br /><br />With that Michael beckoned me to go with him and I am now part of the Universe. Novas, suns, planets, all that I looked at from the earth, not so long ago, or was it?<br /><br />We traveled toward the beginning of it all, the inner portions of the universe. Kazillions of planets around kazillions of suns. The closer to the center we approached the more concentrated the number of galaxies. It is like the plate you saw, the largest part. After it shattered, it was at the center. Those parts that shattered first were sent the farthest from the center. So is everything in the universe. All is but a circle within a circle wrapped in a circle. Each level, each dimension is but a layer of the original which is without end.<br /><br />I watched as millions of Orbs systematically entered the many planets before me. They appeared as bees flitting from flower to flower, pollinating each, one after another. Michael took me closer and I could now see that so many of these planets had life on them. The Orbs were joining with the creatures of these planets. Not every creature was the same on every planet but they all had some commonalities, a head, a body, extremities and the light beings would animate them for a time.<br /><br />We headed away from the center now and Michael said that Gabriel would have more to explain to me and that he, Michael, wanted me to know that he was pleased with the many times he had called on me to do his bidding and that I performed my duties well. His parting words were "You will never again be made to forget"!<br /><br />I was journeying back to where I knew earth would be and watched as comets and asteroids casually passed by me or I passed them. The colors of the gaseous cloud formations were striking. I started looking at these infant galaxies as one would cloud formations back on earth, imagining what shape they were taking on. This one a boat. This a bird with wings. This a scarf floating in the breeze. I recognized what was the constellation ORION and I knew I was getting close to my destination.<br /><br />While drifting through ORION, I noticed two blazing celestial bodies racing parallel to its center, looking as twin arrows exiting from an archers bow and headed straight for the "Blue Marble" of home. Immediately, a vision of millions of people crying because of the devastation of portions of New York City came to me. I became aware of a strange feeling I had not known previously, and I thought that might be because this was the city I had grown up in. I saw a huge earthquake, a magnitude of 8.6 in someplace named EUREKA. A ham operator or radio announcer was directing thousands of people migrating from areas of frequent disasters to places of safety. A space station appeared to be falling from the heavens because of an internal explosion. Missiles were being simultaneously fired into space from several nations. I thought the light being had shown me all there was to see but these were different, stronger and there was no pre-screening as before. Gabriel appeared beside me, I thought because I had felt shaky, but it was to explain the now sprawling galactic view of my galaxy.<br /><br />The sun was expanding and spewing off huge ecto-plasma balls, more then it has ever done in its past, and in the very direction the planets would orbit through. I could not take my eyes from the earth and as I watched what effect these eruptions would have on the earth.<br /><br />A large mass passed me, larger then any of the planets known to me, and as it passes, I see the earth wobble wildly as would a top toward the end of its spin. The rotation stopped and slowly started again but it was tilted now and I was drawn in closer like the zoom of a lens.<br /><br />The ash clouds that had engulfed the earth thinned, and like a tack welded piece of metal being dismantled, I could see the ocean bodies starting to rise - first the Pacific along the "Ring of Fire", then the others, synchronistical.<br /><br />As the waters shifted upon the landmasses, the landmasses started to sink under the waters added pressure upon it. When the pressures equaled out, to the spin of the changing axis, the earth no longer looked as it did moments before. It was newer, cleaner, more beautiful with darker greens and lighter blues. Some of the new landmasses looked similar to a few of the other planets I had recently visited with Michael.<br /><br />People were upon this earth and appeared happier and more content although seemingly living like the native populations of old.<br /><br />Cities, built by the Ancient Ones, that were buried beneath the oceans, were now being populated by the surviving people in this new world. I saw tribes joining tribes and small nations forming, but it was what I didn't see that made my heart burst. There were no more wars. True peace and happiness had finally befallen on humankind.<br /><br />Gabriel now tells me that this is his message that I must take back, to let others know that there is little to fear, for the earth will go on forever as did all the planets I had visited. I am to tell the world to look to ORION and they will know when the new world will come upon them.<br /><br />I ask him, "What of the others there on earth during the change?"<br /><br />Gabriel tells me that all will be lifted. Some will be lifted higher then others and no longer enjoy the physical realm, while some will be left on the earth to replenish and rebuild the physical. They too will be of a higher elevation then any that are living there now!<br /><br />I was now before the light being of gold again. Those five orbs were still darting about. I wanted to stay and explore this realm with all the other light beings but I was told I could not.<br /><br />I was brought here to go back to tell the others who would be coming after me, that if they would spread the love they brought with them to the physical world, they would know their Creator eagerly awaits them.<br /><br />The being told me that should I ever have questions of the heart or mind, he will answer them if I only look within myself, for that is where he will dwell. From this time forward I need only think it to be so, and it will be so, for I would forever know the truth.<br /><br />I was told there was much work left undone and that he had set a road of rocks before me that I must sweep away for passage. Many will be set before me that I may help in my presence, and more I will not. But I must not set aside wrongly, for a soul should not be lost within my heart.<br /><br />I asked how I would know and before I received an answer I was being whisked away through that darkened tunnel like a dust bunny in a vacuum, with about as much control as a runaway freight train.<br /><br />A loving voice was telling me I must go back today.<br /><br />The nurse was wiping off my head.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136382830550706926.post-65152252177788933152008-08-13T09:04:00.000-07:002008-08-13T09:10:57.789-07:00BALLS OF LIGHT - From Phantoms & Monsters Blog<span style="font-weight:bold;">Mysterious Valleys</span><br />By Scott Corrales<br />(c) 2008<br /><br />There is no shortage of strange or haunted locations on our planet, and Argentina’s Calingasta Valley is definitely among them, located near the town of Barreal in the province of San Juan. Drivers who have to cross this arid region out of necessity have reported seeing a variety of strange lights in the darkness: orbs of yellowish or white energy described as being around the size of a soccer ball which can be mistaken for the lights of a distant, oncoming automobile. Much like the Marfa Lights of Texas, these Argentinean orbs appear and vanish only to reappear further down the road. On some occasions they engage in frantic pursuits of trucks and cars along the road; on others, they stand in the way of traffic, causing understandable consternation.<br /><br />Journalist Patricio Parente mentions the case of a schoolteacher anxious to return home and, lacking a car, hitched a ride with a truck driver. After the vehicle was on its way, the teacher mentioned that she could see distant lights like small candles, which appeared to be following the truck. But even more alarming than this was the fact that a bigger light had already placed itself above the truck’s cab, endeavoring to slow it down or bring it to a halt, in spite of the driver’s best efforts to maintain speed. Are we dealing with a normal “earthlight” phenomenon or some kind of South American ignis fatuus of the desert, or something stranger?<br /><br />Parente also mentions another of the region’s unusual features – a vast dry lakebed known as the Barreal Blanco or Pampa del Leoncito. Measuring some seven miles long and three miles wide, the plain is popular among those who are engaged in wind sports involving wheeled vehicles (“carrovelismo”, in Spanish) or just anyone interested in putting a four-wheeled vehicle through its paces, making it a famous location for racing and shooting television commercials, or for calibrating airborne and satellite sensors. But aside from its popularity, it has also become known as a place haunted by the strange lights. A driver and his wife, lost in the dry lake at night, managed to find their way out thanks to the sudden manifestation of a white ball of light that appeared to try to guide them toward the road leading out of the area. When he discussed the event with others, he was told that the “fools’ lantern” had come to his aid. Intense flashes of light of unknown origin have also been reported in this curious area of the Andean foothills. Alfredo Cruz, a resident of this inhospitable region, remembered seeing these “lanterns”, which he could see in the distant Andean foothills. Some believed that the sources of light were “flying bags of bones” – as weird a concept as that may seem – that could be either good or bad, either lending assistance to stranded travelers or accosting them for no reason at all.<br /><br /><br />Other folklore preserved from pre-European and Colonial times maintains that the strange lights are supernatural indications of the presence of lost mines or buried treasure – something to tantalize Indiana Jones with, perhaps. But other traditions hold that the Barreal Blanco lights are far from sanguine and fall under the classification of luces del mal (evil lights) and are the handiwork of the Devil. Any would-be treasure hunter would have to make a pact with the dark forces before coming across the promised treasure. The belief in the unwholesome nature of these structures is such that the residents of Albardón, a village on the edges of the Barreal Blanco, have erected a formidable cross to ward off witches and vampires, and the lights whose very presence is a cause for distress.<br /><br />We can add Salta’s enigmatic Valles Calchaquíes to the list of haunted places in South America. Spanning the length of the provinces of Salta, Tucuman and Catamarca, these geological features consist of at least six lesser valleys or chasms, and the Calchaquí River itself. Reaching the town of Cachi, one of its better known UFO hotspots, for example, involves a hair-raising ascent to four thousand feet above sea level along truly terrifying precipices.<br /><br />In May 2008, the COPENOA news service reported that Residents of the town of San Carlos had seen a small creature no taller than forty centimeters in height, with an unusual characteristic: the little creature appeared to produce some kind of force field that kept people from approaching it.<br /><br />Walter Lopez and Omar Ferlatti, the witnesses to this high-strangeness event, told the authorities about the creature, describing it as “small, glowing and wearing pants”, seemingly protected by “a magnetic field” – this apparent close encounter of the third kind took place as the entire valley region was in commotion over a large UFO reported in the area.<br /><br />“Kids aren’t going out at night out of fear of the strange creature and the UFO,” claimed a resident of San Carlos in a statement to the COPENOA news agency. Ferlatti and Lopez’s account dovetails with the one given by a shepherdess on the hills, who was startled by the strange visitor. Police have stated that both stories coincide and that local residents are indeed frightened. “It hasn’t been seen again. It would be good for it to return, to ascertain that the events were indeed as described,” said deputy sheriff Luis Comenares.<br /><br />Not all locals were as agitated about the diminutive visitor. Andean peoples have an extensive tradition of small creatures usually lumped under the classification of imps or goblins, and they are purportedly the spirits of children who died unchristened or attacked their parents. Pablo Villarubia, a tireless journalist of the occult, visited the Cafayate Museum in the city of Salta to speak to curator Elga Brabo, who was very forthright in their discussion on the subject of these half-magical, half-real subhumans. When asked if imps had ever been reported in Cachi, she replied affirmatively, adding that the creature was even known as “el duende de Toma Colorado” (the Toma Colorado Imp) – an entity that was more playful than perverse, but which hadn’t been seen for years.<br /><br />Some of these “neighbors”, for want of a better term, aren’t so engaging. Brabo told Villarubia that some doctors from the village of Angastaco were forced to seek the help of a local witch doctor to banish the presence of a duende who had taken up residence in their home, apparently fascinated by the couple’s baby, which it would turn around in its crib, or else prompt the child to scream or laugh for no reason at all.<br /><br />The Diario El Tribuno newspaper carried an even more impressive account: on July 19, 2008, residents of the town of Cachi (marveled at the sight of a colossal UFO, “an extraordinary vision”, in the newspaper’s opinion. Evangelina Romero, a schoolteacher, was among the witnesses who gave a detailed description of the sighting. Ufologist and mountaineer Antonio Zuleta, the author of a number of startling videotapes of UFO activity in the high Andes, discussed the sighting on his morning show, interviewing Evangelina Romero and her husband, Ruben Guitian. The general description of the object was “a disk-shaped metallic object that projected white, purple and orange light from its mid-section as it moved from South to North in perfect silence despite it size, which the couple compared to that of a soccer pitch.<br /><br />Another witness, Hugo Alcoba, a well-known folk composer, corroborated the Romero sighting, adding that the object had been a “classic flying saucer like something out a movie from the 1950s”. Many locals were perhaps reminded of another colossal UFO –measuring two hundred fifty meters in diameter - that allegedly crashed in the area on August 17, 1995 in the Sierras Coloradas region.<br /><br />For his part, Antonio Zuleta was probably thinking about his own giant unidentified flying object, the one he recorded in June 2001 as it moved placidly over one of the mountain ridge known as Nevados de Cachi, the second highest of its kind in the world after the Himalayas. Zuleta had been at home with his wife on June 23, 2001, just about to take his young daughter to the hospital at 21:00 hours when he saw the massive unknown structure sailing over the mountain range. “It gave off lights like streamers of red and green,” he said at the time. This one, the first of many such recordings, had a duration of 20 minutes before the object accelerated became lost from sight.<br /><br />Zuleta’s video of the strange phenomena common to the Calchaquí Valleys became a worldwide sensation. Saltan ufologist Daniel Quiroga of the Red Argentina de Ovnilogía (RAO), was of the opinion that the Cachi UFO video was "a document of undeniable scientific value.” Quiroga studied the videotape for three hours and reached the conclusion that "it is one of the best recordings I've seen," noting "I have no doubt that it is a mothership, in other words, an extraterrestrial device of gigantic proportions, capable of transporting lesser units and which have been repeatedly seen in different parts of the planet for years.” After analyzing the filmed material, I'm able to state that it is an unconventional phenomenon. The object makes intelligent movements that are impossible for known human technology. It accelerates and decelerates at prodigious speeds, is surrounded by a green outline, has a white core and produces red and blue flashes while projecting violet and sky-blue beams. It is oval in shape, although in the video, its movements give it<br />the appearance of changing shape constantly."<br /><br />Elsewhere in the World<br /><br />When it comes to these enigmatic regions, perhaps the strangest of them all is the rocky mountain canyon known as Barranca de Badajoz on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. Unlike other mystery places, photographic evidence has substantiated the high strangeness that makes the fog-enshrouded canyon so famous. Lush vegetation protrudes from harsh, ancient lava flows that lead to the sea. The Guanches, Tenerife's original inhabitants, considered the canyon to be the dwelling place of Chaxiraxi, "the mother who bears the world."In 1912, states Padrón, a crew of ore miners was about to drill a hole in a mineshaft when three humanlike creatures, as white as a sheet of paper, emerged from the rocks. The terrified miners abandoned the works and ran for the nearest Guardia Civil station to notify the authorities of the frightening event. Padrón points out that to this very day, local residents believe that the "beings in white" are real and even leave offerings of food for them. Newcomers and explorers are advised to leave these eldritch creatures alone, "since they mean no harm." Local lore also includes enigmatic references to two non-human races, the lunos or "lunar people" with their gleaming whiteness and the nanos, a dwarf race living in the tunnels that allegedly exist under the region. While the existence of these tunnels has not been established by geologists, Canarian legend speaks of a bet between two friends in the 1890's, concerning who could reach the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife faster: the one on horseback or the one on foot through the tunnels. Needless to say, the latter won.. A group of vacationers who visited the ancient step-pyramids of Chacona at nearby Güimar chose to spend a night in the canyon when their camping excursion was interrupted by the sudden appearance of a colossal creature heading straight for them. Terror gripped the campers as they made for their vehicle, leaving their possessions behind. Thinking the worst was over, the campers stopped at Socorro Beach to recover themselves from the fright. Their brief respite was interrupted by the appearance of large, glowing light in the sky that appeared to be chasing them. The hysterical vacationers fled to the city. Perhaps the most interesting piece of information gathered by Padrón in his investigation of this haunted area is the photograph of an enormous winged creature, made up of pure energy, which flew over witness Teyo Bermejo in July 1991. Bermejo took a photograph of the creature, which clearly shows a winged, golden-orange figure against a black background. Another photograph shows a group of children completely unaware of a towering white humanoid walking behind them at an angle. A closeup of the image shows a blurry but rather well defined figure: a denizen of the hidden world?<br /><br />posted by Inexplicata at 10:47 AM<br />_________<br /><br />I have been to Marfa, Texas twice to see the lights. The state has even made a turnout on the highway with a picnic table for curious investigators to watch the lights. My friend, on one of my trips there, was determined to catch one up close. So at midnight he drove down this long dusty road towards where they would show up. Every time he got close the light would move to another place. They definitely had intelligence. The interesting thing is that the Spanish Wagon trains in the 1500's also saw the lights. We know they weren't car headlights then!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Thursday's Child</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136382830550706926.post-22337276146413593192008-08-12T10:20:00.000-07:002008-08-12T10:24:29.307-07:00A SUPPLEMENT TO THE ARTICLE I SENT OUT TODAY TITLED “THIS IS SO IMPORTANT”Last evening Frosty Wooldridge was on Coast to Coast am (August 11, 2008). He told about how overpopulation is depleting earth’s resources which will hinder us as humans. He agreed that the earth would survive long after man has vanished off this planet. The Earth has its own way to deal with what is taking place and it will continue on. You can see this for yourself if you watch what is happening on the weather channel or see documentaries on overpopulation in India and China. India is becoming wall to wall humans. They have had a hard time feeding their populace for years but now and in the future it will become even worse.<br /><br />We have been warned about global warming. Some don’t believe it but from what we hear about the glaciers melting that have never melted before it would seem to stand to reason. Bare land at the north pole has been claimed by Russia. Bare land had never shown up there before because ice covered it. What I am leading up to by saying this are three books I have just read by Dr. Hank Wessleman. The first was “Spirit Walker”, the second “Medicine Maker” and the last, “Vision Seeker”. These were eye opening books. <br /><br />Hank Wessleman is an anthropologist with a scientific mind. Through a series of paranormal experiences which happened out of the blue to him he somehow connected with his descendant 5,000 years in the future. I know that sounds fantastic but eventually he was able to experience what his descendant saw, felt and heard through connecting with his mind. Ultimately his descendant was able to communicate with him. But what he learned was mind boggling. This is the point I am making.<br /><br />5,000 years in the future all of California’s Inland Valley was ocean. It was ringed by hills to the east. People had come from Hawaii in double hulled canoes of large size. The people had to leave there because of cataclysms. They brought their native plants wrapped in Ti leaves placed in mud. They had to make sure they made it without dying so when it rained the plants got watered before the people had anything to drink, even though they were parched. The Hawaiians started villages around the inland sea and their plants began to grow.<br /><br />The descendant of Hank Wessleman became a Kahuna. He told about a journey of going out away from the villages to see if he could find people. The land had become tropical with birds that previously you would only see in the jungle, as were the monkeys, lions, elephants and only animals we have heard of living in Africa. <br /><br />Over the mountains to the west were great plains where horses roamed. On his quest he met people that had come from what we would consider back east in Canada. They were Acadians mixed with very primitive stock. They were hunters and gatherers and kept moving. He became friends with them and learned the way of the Shaman from the leader. The leaders daughter became his wife. Those were the only persons he ever found. It was a case of reverting back to the original inhabitants of the planet as there were no machines of any kind and it was primitive.<br /><br />Hank’s descendant referred to ancient English that was spoken before “The Great Fall” of the planet before everything changed. All we know is that there was approximately a 5,000 year time gap by the time he discovered his descendant. We do not know what happened that caused The Great Fall or when it happened. I was hoping he would discover that. The most important point is that something did happen due to a great catastrophe but we don’t know what caused it, whether it was global warming, nuclear annihilation, or a pole shift. Whatever it was caused California (the only place he observed) to become tropical with wild animals that were not native to that area. He thought perhaps these were animals that had been in zoos and when the catastrophe happened had escaped to survive on their own. How else could they be there?<br /><br />Back to Frosty Wooldridge’s article on over population; as I said the earth will survive but the humans won’t. Perhaps they would have if they had listened about over population, containing the resources, and preparing for any eventuality. <br /><br />For your own discernment find the books by Dr. Hank Wesselman and see for yourself what he experienced. He said we can do the same if we practice.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136382830550706926.post-10709984148459632412008-08-12T08:27:00.000-07:002008-08-12T08:29:24.809-07:00THIS IS SO IMPORTANTThe Titanic and the United States<br />Website Mission Statement by Frosty Wooldridge<br /><br /><br />Much like the Titanic that sank on April 15, 1912, the United States stands at a critical juncture in the history of our nation. Few realize it, but, like the Titanic, this nation smashed into a piece of legislation in 1965 that was never asked for or approved by the American public.<br /><br />In 1965, our 'Captain' Lyndon B. Johnson along with helmsman Senator Teddy Kennedy drove America into an 'iceberg' of massive, unrestricted immigration that opened up the flood gates with the 'Immigration Reform Act'. At first, the flow of one million immigrants annually wasn't noticed. We were benevolent. Our country was big. There was plenty of room and resources.<br /><br />However, the massive flow of humanity from that hit is still pouring into our country 38 years later and few seem to notice--much like the party-goers and dancing on the Titanic that kept up for hours after hitting the iceberg in the North Atlantic. However, even the invincible Titanic could not survive the onslaught from the constant flow of incoming water--slowly, methodically stealing its ability to stay afloat.<br /><br />Today in the United States, 70 million immigrants later and pouring in at 2.3 million annually--both legal and illegal--our nation shudders from San Francisco to New York and from Chicago to Miami. We rose from 200 million to nearly 300 million in three decades. What was once a benefit to our country is now a full-scale overpopulation and societal crisis.<br /><br />The Titanic From stem to stern, our English language is under assault and our schools are drowning in ethnic violence, rapes, drugs and gang warfare. In California, Texas, Florida and Arizona, our hospitals suffer bankruptcies from non-paid services for 350,000 annual 'anchor babies'. Ten million illegal immigrants displace jobs from America's working poor and depress wages for many others. Leprosy, tuberculosis, Chagas Disease, hepatitis and other diseases 'pour' into our country within the bodies of illegal immigrants who avoid health screening before coming on board the United States. Even worse, clashing cultures with religions that celebrate 'female genital mutilation' and subjugation of women are growing in enclaves around our country. As Lincoln said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand."<br /><br />On the environmental front, our nation explodes toward an added 200 million people that will approach half billion by mid-century. We are creating an 'irreversible crisis' with 'unsolvable problems'. California is slated to add 20 million in 30 years. Colorado will add five million by mid century. Arizona will add four million. They already don't have enough water. Florida cannot survive another five million people. New York shudders with its population problems. Air pollution poisons what we breathe and massive sprawl devours our once lauded spaciousness. Species extinction accelerates as we add numbers. Much like the Titanic, our standard of living drops and our quality of life sinks with the influx of unrestricted immigration. Soon, we too, will become like the countries of Bangladesh, India and China.<br /><br />On the employment front, our leaders are outsourcing and offshoring our jobs to Third World countries while they import the Third World into our country. America's middle class is being driven into the unemployment lines. Our schools are becoming dysfunctional towers of Babel with over 140 languages. We cannot stay afloat with this kind of linguistic chaos. Yes, we have compassion for immigrants, but it's our country and our children. Their leaders need to take care of them in their countries. Unfortunately, Congress and leadership of this nation refuse to step below the water line to see how fast we are sinking. We're $6.8 trillion in debt. There were 20 different languages on the California recall ballot. Whose country is this anyway? Our leaders are standing in the wheelhouse totally insulated and isolated from those of us who shovel the coal, build houses, repair cars, teach our kids, drive school busses and plow roads.<br /><br />We cannot save the world, but we can destroy our country if we fail to act.<br /><br />Like the Titanic that cracked in half before plunging to the depths because no one stopped the incoming water, the United States like all great nations before us, could sink. You can see the signs all around our country. If you look around you, we're shuddering from bow to aft - from the stacks to the rudder. Who is steering our nation and why are they heading toward more icebergs instead of changing course? What can you do? You are just as much an American patriot as Paul Revere, Betsy Ross, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, Susan B. Anthony, Lincoln and the soldiers from Valley Forge to the Jungles of Vietnam and deserts of Iraq. It's time to start riding, stitching, writing, charging, demonstrating and fighting for our country within our country. We need to seal our borders against this incursion.<br /><br />Since our leaders won't stop this invasion of an 'unarmed army' of legal and illegal immigrants, it's up to you. Our children face a dangerous future if we fail to take action. It wasn't George Washington who beat the British army. It was every militiaman who shot from fence lines and trees. It wasn't Ike who won WWII. It was every GI who slung a rifle over his soldier. Susan B. Anthony marched and Dr. Martin Luther King demonstrated. They, in their time, paid the price for defending America so we could enjoy our freedom.

He refused to disclose the gender of the creature. Dyer also stated it was found in early June and assumes it had been dead a few days. As well, he mentioned that the Bigfoot is being stored in a 10 ft. freezer.<br /><br />Dyer also claimed that other 'live' Bigfoot creatures were observed in the same area where the body was found and that he has photographs.<br /><br />Listeners were allowed to field questions.<br /><br />Dyer said that at least one researcher had refused to believe his find and that the YouTube campaign was started in order to belittle other well known cryptozoologists.<br /><br />Ask what the creature looks like, Dyer answered that it looks 'more human than ape' and that he sought legal counsel in order to copyright photographs. He states he already has a buyer who has offered $10 million.<br /><br />Dyer did say that he never believed in Bigfoot and didn't research the creature before he stumbled across the body.<br /><br />Dyer claims that the proof and evidence of their find will start being released to the public on September 1st, 2008.

The other day I was with someone and, as she walked into the room, her guardian angel opened up for me and I saw its golden wings in such detail. I could see the feathers individually."<br /><br />We are sitting in a central London café. To me, a mere mortal, there is nothing out of the ordinary to detain the eye - groups of people at tables, sipping drinks and chatting. But for the 54-year-old Byrne, as her eyes flit around over my shoulder, there is a whole other dimension.<br /><br />For as long as she can remember, she has been able to see angels - as she describes in Angels in My Hair, a memoir that has become a runaway bestseller in her native Ireland and has just been signed up for a six-figure sum by the American publishers of The Da Vinci Code.<br /><br />"I'm seeing spirals of light behind people," she reports. "Those are the people's guardian angels. We've all got one. They are usually about three paces behind us."<br /><br />"And then I'm also seeing the other angels, too, the ones that I call the helpers and teachers. They are white and beautiful. All angels have a human appearance, but that's just for us, so we are not terrified."<br /><br />It all sounds slightly bonkers - as if she is describing a long-forgotten Old Master, or a scene from Wim Wenders's 1987 flight of fancy, Wings of Desire, in which gentle, trenchcoated angels minister to battle-scarred Berliners.<br /><br />But Byrne is no painter or arthouse filmmaker: she's a mother of four from Maynooth in Co Kildare.<br /><br />"I know what I'm seeing, whatever anyone thinks of it," she says, as doubt crosses my face.<br /><br />Byrne's red, shoulder-length hair is cut neatly, and she is conventionally dressed in a lime-green cardigan and navy skirt. She would be easily overlooked in a crowd, especially as she is so small and apparently fragile.<br /><br />But as soon as she starts talking, there is something beguilingly otherworldly about her, rather as I imagine one of the medieval mystics now so beloved of mainstream Christianity might have appeared.<br /><br />She admits, in a soft, slow voice that you have to lean in to hear, that she has been rather taken aback by the controversy and attention her book has generated.<br /><br />"To me, seeing angels is quite natural. It's been happening for so long. I'm only discovering now, when people like you ask me questions about it, that others don't find it natural."<br /><br />Byrne is not alone in believing in angels: three quarters of Americans and more than a third of Britons are also convinced that such heavenly helpers exist. But claiming to be able to see them is something else entirely. There are, I calculate, several possible explanations. She could be a charlatan, out to make a quick buck. She could be mad. Or she could be telling the truth.<br /><br />The first option is the easiest to tackle. Her website contains the predictable testimonials from Irish celebrities.<br /><br />Singer Daniel O'Donnell describes Byrne's insights as "breathtaking"; Jim Corr of the Corrs hails her "guidance… in times of universal deceit".<br /><br />More substantial, though, are those from the less celebrated - such as this, from a Dublin therapist: "One patient, a girl from Sarajevo, had suffered major damage after a grenade had been thrown into her home. Her body was literally peppered with shrapnel, particularly the spinal area.<br /><br />Lorna, without the use of X-ray, was not only able to point out where all the shrapnel pieces were, but to indicate what the effect of each piece was on the girl's body."<br /><br />How did she know? "The angels told me," Byrne explains. Why did they tell you? "I haven't the faintest idea," she replies simply, rather as a child would. "They don't always tell me why."<br /><br />So it is not just that Byrne sees angels - and has done since she was growing up in a rundown cottage next to her father's bicycle repair shop in Dublin in the 1960s. She can also communicate with them. I suggest that rather than being heavenly beings, they might be a kind of outward manifestation of an inner voice.<br /><br />"People have called me all sorts of things in the past," she responds, unaffronted by the suggestion.<br /><br />"I don't like 'psychic'. I'm not a psychic. Sometimes other people have said, 'Where's the healer?' when they have come to find me, but I don't heal. That's not me. That's God. The angels carry the message, helping me to intercede with God."<br /><br />So can she talk directly to God, too? I lower my voice instinctively as I ask the question. "I know it sounds strange," she laughs. I wait. Finally, she answers: "I do, yes."<br /><br />If Byrne were indeed a charlatan, she could have been putting her gifts to good use for years to feather her own nest - "make a load of money", as she puts it.<br /><br />Instead, she stayed in her poor childhood home, attending a school where she was always treated as "retarded" - "I'm dys… what's the word, I still can't say it, you know - not good with words."<br /><br />Then there was a loving, but cash-strapped, marriage to Joe, and four children, along with a variety of menial jobs to make ends meet.<br /><br />Joe died young, as the angels had always told her he would. She recalls nursing him on his deathbed. Did that make her angry with God?<br /><br />"No, I was allowed to see his soul [after he died] on one occasion. It was beautiful." She believes her romance was predestined.<br /><br />"From the moment Angel Elijah showed me a vision of Joe, I was always in love with him. I was only maybe nine or 10 at the time, but the connection was made."<br /><br />Byrne reveals quite how otherworldly she is when, in the course of talking about evil spirits (she says she has confronted the fallen angel, Satan, on at least one occasion), I mention Robert Mugabe as a potential candidate for demonic possession.<br /><br />"Who's he?" she asks. As I explain, she is constantly looking away. From her perspective, there is clearly so much else going on in the room that the details of Zimbabwe's crisis don't hold her attention.<br /><br />"I live in a parallel world," she explains, "between spirit world and human world. Angels, you see, are not souls of people who have died, as is sometimes said. They are creatures, another being, a spiritual being. So if you ask me the question of which world I'd find it easier to live in, I'd have to say the spirit world."<br /><br />Her sincerity is unmistakeable, but it still leaves open the possibility that her visions are a form of mental illness. She has obviously heard the accusation often enough. "If I had told people what I was seeing when I was a child," she says, "I would have been locked away."<br /><br />Throughout history, there has been a thin - some would say invisible - line between strong religious attachment and apparent insanity. Byrne remains, she says, a regular at Mass, and feels that too many people today are shy about admitting their faith.<br /><br />"They are frightened to acknowledge that part of themselves that has anything to do with God, because they don't want to be thought of as mad, too."<br /><br />So we come to the final option - the baffling idea that Byrne is telling the truth. Or, to be more precise, her truth. The churches, it seems, have so far been wary of endorsing her claims.<br /><br />"The religions are putting angels out of the equation as much as possible, in order to have control over human beings," she explains. "And I mean all religions, all churches. I can see angels in churches, in synagogues and mosques. They are everywhere."<br /><br />We've come back full circle. Is there any form of proof, other than her word, that she can offer for her claims?<br /><br />"The response from the website.

According to the source, David H. Schuur, a UFO had apparently activated the launch sequence in most of his Minuteman missiles.<br /><br />In August 2007, Schuur told me, “I saw your request for information in the [June 2007] Association of Air Force Missileers Newsletter. I was involved in a UFO incident at Minot AFB in the mid-1960s. I had read your earlier article [in the September 2002 AAFM Newsletter] but was hesitant to respond.” I asked Schuur why he had been hesitant. He replied, “Well, we were basically told, way back when, that it was classified information and, you know, it didn’t happen and don’t discuss it. I guess I was still operating on that idea when I saw your first article.”<br /><br />Schuur had obviously had a change of heart. He continued, “Anyway, I was a Minuteman missile crewmember in the 455th/91st Strategic Missile Wing at Minot from December 1963 through November 1967. I was a 1st Lieutenant during that period and the deputy commander that night. Since the incident occurred some 40 years ago, my memories are a bit foggy but, based on who my commander was at the time, I would say it occurred between July 1965 and July 1967.”<br /><br />I asked Schuur if he could narrow the time-frame during which the incident occurred, by associating it with another event. He replied, “Not really, but my sense is that the incident occurred toward the end of my duty in the [missile] field, so it was probably during 1966, or ’67. I was pulling alert in the Echo [Launch Control] Capsule and was at the console at the time, probably early in the morning when the commander was sleeping. I know I was at Echo because that’s where I pulled almost all of my alert duty. My crew commander at the time has died. He was a Lieutenant Colonel at Minot, in his 50s—he was in the reserves, an old Korea veteran, who was recalled to duty in the early 1960s.”<br /><br />“As far as the incident, here’s my best recollection of it: Alpha capsule, which was east of us, reported on PAS—the Primary Alerting System—that their security personnel were observing a large, bright object hovering over some of their missile sites. It was moving from missile to missile. I think the Alpha missile crew also reported that they were receiving ‘spurious indicators’ on their missile control console, but I’m not certain about that. I know that a few minutes later our capsule had spurious indicators—anomalous readings—from some of our missiles.”<br /><br />I asked Schuur to explain PAS. He said, “It was an open line between SAC headquarters and the wing command posts. There was a speaker in each launch capsule and when the command posts issued a directive, or whatever, we were able to hear it. When Alpha had their UFO sightings, they alerted the command post, at which time the command post called SAC headquarters. So, when the report of the sightings went out, we all heard it on PAS.”<br /><br />Schuur continued, “But it wasn’t just Alpha and Echo. Over the next hour or so—I don’t recall exactly how long it was—all of the flights reported that their [Security Alert Teams] were observing a UFO near their facilities. The path of the object could be followed as it passed over each flight area by the reports on the PAS. The object moved over the entire wing from the southeast to the northwest, following the layout of the wing.”<br /><br />Schuur elaborated, “All of them—Bravo Flight, Charlie, Delta, right on down the line to Oscar—were reporting sightings of this object. Minot’s missile field is laid out like the letter ‘C’. Alpha is located southeast of the base, and the other flights—Bravo, Charlie and so forth—were south, southwest, west, northwest, then north of Minot. Oscar, the last flight, is at the top of the ‘C’, north of the base. The object—as far as I know, it was only one object—came across Alpha Flight, then moved all the way around the flights and ended up at Oscar. We could hear that on PAS. At Echo, it didn’t come close to the Launch Control Facility, it just visited the LFs (silos), then passed onto the next flight.”<br /><br />“As far as our flight, Echo, a few minutes after hearing the report from Alpha, I received a call from topside security that a large bright light—actually, a large, bright object would be more accurate—was in the sky, to the east of the launch control facility. When the guard called down, he may have used the term ‘UFO’ but I don’t recall. He didn’t describe it’s shape or altitude because it was too far away. It never got close enough to the LCF to see any detail. At its closest, it was two, three, maybe four miles away from us, near one of the missile sites.”<br /><br />Schuur continued, “However, when the object passed over our flight, we started receiving many spurious indications on our console. The object was apparently sending some kind of signals into each missile. Not every missile got checked [out] by the object, but there were several that did. Maybe six, seven, or eight. Maybe all ten got checked, but I don’t think so. As this thing was passing over each missile site, we would start getting erratic indications on that particular missile. After a few seconds, everything reset back to normal. But then the next missile showed spurious indicators, so the object had apparently moved on to that one, and did the same thing to it. Then on to the next one, and so on. It was as if the object was scanning each missile, one by one. The Inner Security and Outer Security [alarms were triggered] but we got those all the time, for one reason or another. However, on this particular night, we had to activate the ‘Inhibit’ switch because we got ‘Launch in Progress’ indicators! After a few minutes, the UFO passed to the northwest of us and all indicators reset to normal.”<br /><br />I wanted to be certain about what I had just been told. I asked Schuur, “So, if you get a Launch in Progress indicator, does that mean the launch sequence has been triggered—that the missile is preparing to launch?” Schuur replied, “That means the missile has received a launch signal. When that happens, we get an indication in the capsule that a launch command has been received by that missile. If that happens, without proper authority, you flip what’s called an “Inhibit” switch, to delay the launch for a given period of time. If an Inhibit command comes in from another launch capsule, that shuts down the launch totally. But if that second command doesn’t come in, the missile will wait for a specified period of time and then launch automatically at the end of that expired period—theoretically. Of course, that night, we had all kinds of other indicators coming on from each missile so, in that situation, the launch probably would have aborted itself. I honestly don’t know.”<br /><br />I asked Schuur if the Launch in Progress indicator had ever been triggered on any other occasion, either before or after the UFO incident, while he was on alert duty. He replied, “No, never.”<br /><br />I asked Schuur if he had heard about missile maintenance teams having to replace components or whole systems in the affected missiles—the ones that generated the spurious readings. He replied, “No, if that happened, I never heard about it.”<br /><br />Schuur said, “Upon returning to the base the next day, my commander and I were met by the operations officer. He just said, ‘Nothing happened, nothing to discuss, goodbye.’ Our logs and tapes were turned in. Every capsule had a 24-hour tape that, as I recall, recorded the communications that went over the PAS system, so all the reports would have been on that tape. But we were essentially told that nothing had happened that night and to discuss it no further. It was a non-event. We were never debriefed, by OSI or anyone else. We just went home. Most of the returning missile crews drove back to the base from their facilities, so they all arrived at different times. There was no group debriefing that I know of. I never heard another thing about the incident.”<br /><br />I asked Schuur, “I know that you were given no feedback from your superiors, but what is your personal assessment of the event?” He replied, “Oh, I think something was up there, uh, scanning the missiles, seeing what was going on. Some kind of a scanning process.” I asked Schuur whether he thought the launch activation had been incidental or deliberate. He seemed surprised by my question and said, “I think that the scanning just set it off. It set all kinds of things off, we were getting all sorts of indicators. There were some kind of signals being sent [from the UFO] to the missile that inadvertently triggered the launch activation, but I don’t think it was deliberate. I hope not! That would have been—.” Schuur didn’t finish this sentence. His voice broke and he heaved a deep sigh. Apparently, the thought that those aboard the UFO might have deliberately attempted to launch his nuclear missiles that night had caused him to pause—and probably shudder—over 40 years later.<br /><br />I obviously accept Schuur’s report as credible, but am of course attempting to locate other former members of his squadron who are willing to corroborate it. As Schuur candidly admitted, after reading my first article in the September 2002 AAFM newsletter, he waited some five years before approaching me. It was only after my second published request for information from former/retired USAF missileers, that he decided to unburden himself. This hesitant response is not atypical. Many of my former missile launch officer sources have not readily or easily divulged their UFO experiences to me, for one reason or another.<br /><br />Importantly, to my knowledge, Schuur’s testimony represents the only credible report on record of a UFO temporarily activating a U.S. nuclear missile. However, there is one other reliable report of such an activation—in the Soviet Union. That incident will be discussed at length in a later chapter.<br /><br />Minuteman ICBM Was Launched By UFO Claims Former CrewmemberUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136382830550706926.post-43893737066429696352008-07-10T14:08:00.000-07:002008-07-10T14:15:10.065-07:00ROCK FOUND OUTSIDE OF ROSWELLFrank Levine<br />Record Staff Writer<br /><br />A strange rock with unusual magnetic properties - deeply scored, with what appears to be moon phases, a solar eclipse and the depiction of a supernova -- has been unearthed on the outskirts of Roswell. Its discovery has startled researchers, scientists and all who have examined it.<br /><br />If proven to be of extraterrestrial origin, it will mark the second time in less than a century that the Roswell area has received communications from outer space.<br /><br />Roswell Mayor Sam D. LaGrone, who actually saw and touched the rock over the weekend, said, "It is a very strange looking rock.... I touched it, I felt it, and I just don't see how it could have been produced."<br /><br />The rock, he said, adds another element to "the strangeness of Roswell," 61 years after the purported 1947 UFO crash and alleged cover-up by military authorities.<br /><br />The deep wine-red colored rock, measuring less than two inches across, and weighing about 40 grams, was unearthed in September 2004 by Roswell businessman Robert Ridge, 50 , who said he found it while deer hunting in Cedar Hill, 17 miles "as the crow flies" from the 1947 purported UFO crash site.<br /><br />"I saw some fresh tracks and followed them," he said. "That's when I noticed the partially exposed rock on the side of a sand pit. But I didn't pick it up at first because I thought there were deer up ahead, and didn't want to break off the pursuit."<br /><br />When he realized the tracks were just goat tracks, he headed back the way he came, picked up the rock, and put it in his pocket, he said.<br /><br />After showing the rock to family and friends, he decided to keep it in a safe deposit box until last year, when curiosity to discover the truth about it got the better of him.<br /><br />"In July 2007, I was introduced to UFO investigators Chuck Zukowski and Debbie Ziegelmeyer, and they were astounded at what they saw," he said.<br /><br />Zulkowski said the investigators where so impressed, they presented the rock to a number of experts, including prominent New Mexico anthropologists, "all of whom claimed they had never seen anything like it."<br /><br />"They said there is no way this rock could have been scored or drilled in the way it was, without sophisticated modern equipment, like lasers and high speed water-fed grinders and drills," Zukowski said.<br /><br />The artifact's image appears to be literally "pulled" from the surface of the red iron ore rock.<br /><br />Apart from its strange appearance, Zukowski said, the rock has "peculiar" magnetic properties.<br /><br />"It retains its magnetic polarity by which it will spin a compass needle and register its magnetic field on meters," he said. The oval rock will also spin, depending on the position of a magnet over the image surface, he added.<br /><br />Zukowski and Ziegelmeyer said that archeologists requested that the rock be submitted for further laboratory analysis, in what they describe as phase two of their investigation.<br /><br />One anthropologist reportedly described the rock as being similar to a "lodestone."<br /><br />Lodestones have been mentioned in literature for centuries as having magical and mystical properties. There are ancient accounts of people reporting that when holding lodestones, their hands and body shook, and that the stones cured a wide range of illnesses, including snake bites and headaches.<br /><br />Native Americans reportedly used lodestones as protection against snakes.<br /><br />Meanwhile, investigators claim the artifact mirrors crop circles that appeared in Liddleton, England, in 1996, indicating a possibility the stone bears a message from space.<br /><br />Priscilla Wolf, of Tijeras, a native American woman known to have "powers," visited the site were the rock was found last weekend, and said she felt a vibration in her hands when she held the rock, and that "light came down from the skies" when the rock was deposited at the site.<br /><br />Although the rock was found partially exposed on the surface, Zukowski said, the sandy area in which it was found is known to erode and shift, possibly uncovering the rock.<br /><br />"It appeared to have been buried at one time," said Ridge, who believes the rock represents more than just an interesting object.<br /><br />"After I had it a few months, I began to think about it and began to think that it may be a beacon of some kind, or a message," he said.<br /><br />"And I believe the message is that if we don't learn to get along with each other, we will be destroyed," he said.<br /><br />-----------> Source: The Roswell Daily Record - New Mexico, USA<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/6eaely<br /><br />The Crop Circle at Liddington Castle, England – 1996<br /><br />Colin Andrews received a telephone call from farmer Bill Whatley at Folly farm, on the morning of 2nd August, 1996 to say that he had discovered a strange design in his wheat field, below the ancient hill fort called Liddington Castle, near the village of Chiseldon in the county of Wiltshire, England. Colin immediately drove to the site to meet Mr. Whatley and carry out research. He was greeted by the farmer who had just met a woman, Lucy Tuck who said she had witnessed an orange light high up above his field at 10.30 pm that night. After taking notes, Andrews began to gather ground data from the design but it soon became apparent that the field was not just host to this impressive pattern but two. Approximately 350 feet away was a highly complex array of circles that had the appearance of a fractal design (Andrews Catalogue #457 - Andrews File Ref:1996-053).<br /><br />Following the discovery of the Roswell stone, the Andrews aerial photograph was sent to his friend and colleague, Dr. Jean-Noel Aubrun for analysis (Author of numerous N.A.S.A. papers). His findings showed that the crop design and the Roswell stone design matched exactly ! (at least within the normal distortions introduced by photography). <br /><br />As details are currently understood and leaving room for trickery of some kind, these findings could be very important for both the UFO and crop circle subjects – Colin Andrews, 10th July 2008.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136382830550706926.post-31553297021441604152008-07-09T10:13:00.000-07:002008-07-09T10:29:19.588-07:00THE RED SKY PROPHECIESBy Tom Brown, Jr.<br /><br />In the 1920s, an Apache wise man had a Vision of four prophecies that foretold death and destruction for mankind, unless we incorporate Spirit in our daily lives.<br /><br />Two of these prophecies may already have come true.<br /><br />A number of people can predict the future, but few get the timing correct. "Grandfather" was an Apache wise man and scout, named Stalking Wolf, who grew up outside white man's influence. His many predictions not only came true in the manner he predicted, but also when he predicted.<br />Tom Brown, Jr. learned extensively from Grandfather for twenty years, from their first meeting when Tom was seven years old. Stalking Wolf was the real-life grandfather of Tom's best friend at the time. The following excerpt from Tom's book, The Quest, tells of Grandfather's predictions for all of mankind.<br /><br />Looking back, I can clearly see that Grandfather's prophecies, unlike anything else, had the greatest influence on my life. At the time they had little more effect than to frighten me and cause me to sit up and take notice. It wasn't until after his prophecies began to come true that their haunting impact began to affect me in a very profound way.<br /><br />More than any other person-prophet, religious leader or psychic-I have ever met, Grandfather's prophecies, on both a major and a minor scale, came true exactly at the time he prophesied and exactly as he prophesied. With that record, I could not help but feel the impact of these prophecies on my life.<br /><br />Grandfather could foretell the future with tremendous accuracy. Not only could he precisely tell us what would happen in the next moment, day, week or year, but with the same accuracy he could predict the possible futures for ten years and more away. It was not long before I began to keep detailed records of his predictions, along with other notes I kept on survival skills, tracking, awareness and things of the Spirit. I received from Grandfather hundreds of personal, minor predictions, and well over half have since come true. Along with the minor personal prophecies was a list of 103 major predictions, of which, to date, over 65 have become absolutely true, not only in time and place but also in the exact order in which they were predicted to happen.<br /><br />Grandfather said that there was not future, only possible futures. The 'now' was like the palm of a hand, with each finger being the possible future, and, as always, one of the futures was always the most powerful, the way that the main course of events would surely take us. Thus his predictions were of the possible future, which meant that he always left a choice.<br /><br />"If a man could make the right choices," he said, "then he could significantly alter the course of the possible future. No man, then, should feel insignificant, for it only takes one man to alter the consciousness of mankind through the Spirit-that-moves-in-all-things. In essence, one thought influences another, then another, until the thought is made manifest throughout all of Creation. It is the same thought, the same force, that causes an entire flock of birds to change course, as the flock then has one mind."<br /><br />Out of all the personal and major prophecies that Grandfather foretold, there are four that stand out above all the rest. It is these four that mark the destruction of man and life on Earth, as we know it to exist now. Yet Grandfather said that we could still change things, even after the first two prophecies came true, but that there could be no turning back after the third.<br /><br />Now that we have gone well past the second prophecy, danger and destruction are very apparent, and our only recourse is to work harder to change what has possibly become the inevitable. The urgency that I feel-now, more than ever-is a direct result of the second, impossible prophecy coming true. It is the reason that I teach, sometimes with a certain desperation, and constantly with the sense that we are quickly running out of time.<br /><br />I should have worked harder and with that same desperation at a much earlier date, but, like the rest of mankind, it took a strong message to get me motivated. I should have known that these things he prophesied would some day come true, because his personal, minor predictions were coming true daily.<br /><br />He so accurately foretold of Rick's death on a white horse, that I would some day teach, that I would have a son-and that taking him into the Pine Barrens for the first time would forever change my life. He predicted the formation of my school, my books, my family, and even the horrible mistakes I would make as I tried to live within society.<br /><br />Yet with all of this coming true on a daily basis, I simply would not believe or accept that the major prophecy of man's destruction would come true, and its reality hit me hard. It was then that the urgency made itself known.<br /><br />I remember so vividly the "night of the four prophecies"-as I have become accustomed to calling that night when Grandfather first made us aware of their possibility. We had been with Grandfather for five years at the time and were accustomed to his prophecies and their accuracy.<br /><br />Our ability to understand the things of the Spirit world were as sure as our ability to survive and track. Very little of what society calls "the paranormal" shocked us any more, because miracles were part of our everyday existence. Grandfather was a living miracle, and so many of the things that he did on a daily basis, sometimes unconsciously, would be considered miraculous by most. Yet as savvy as we were spiritually, the night of the four prophecies shocked us like nothing we had ever experienced before.<br /><br />We had been hiking all day without much of a break, making our way to a place where we were going to camp, atop a small hill that I now call Prophecy Hill. It was a typical midsummer hike: hot, humid and dusty, with no water available along our entire travel route. As usual, we still took time to stop frequently or take side trips to explore various areas along our route. The adventure and exploration kept us fresh and eager, making the fatigue, heat and thirst hardly factors.<br /><br />Many times along the way, Grandfather would stop and teach us-not physical lessons of survival, tracking or awareness, but lessons dealing with the awareness of Spirit. Very often he would discuss the future and, almost as frequently, the past-the distant past.<br /><br />At one point we stopped along the deer trail we were travelling and followed Grandfather through some heavy brush. The trees and shrubs were far different than those throughout the rest of the Pine Barrens, and I immediately knew this place as an old homestead or town of some sort. Even though the buildings had long since rotted away, the plants and trees still marked the spot where civilisation had once stood. Passing through several very thick areas, we finally entered a grove of very tall, old sycamore trees. From their branches and up their trunks ran huge vines, the kind one might imagine finding in a jungle. In fact, the whole place looked like a jungle-so out of place from the pine, oak and blueberry that is typical in the Pine Barrens. As we sat down, a deeper spiritual sense of awareness came over me, and it was then that I noticed the gravestones.<br /><br />This was the place of a very old and probably long-forgotten cemetery, possibly belonging to the town that had once been here. The stones were old; some lay flat on the ground and others stood upright, though none was straight. Plants and bushes had overrun many of the stones, and I could barely make out the markings on the stones. The weathering process had worn away many of the names and dates, making them barely readable.<br /><br />At once we were in awe, humbled and reverent in this place of death; at the same time, we were amazed that Grandfather had found it so easily. To my knowledge, none of us had been there before, nor had Grandfather ever spoken of this graveyard. Yet for some reason he seemed to be drawn to it, knowing that it was there on some unseen spiritual level, at least unseen to us. I suspect now, as I look back, that he knew that it would become a teaching lesson for us.<br /><br />He walked over to a gravestone that was partially hidden by foxgrape vines and gently pulled them away. After a long moment, he motioned us to come over. We could barely make out the name on the grave or the dates, but at the bottom was carved clearly: "12 years old".<br /><br />Grandfather then spoke. "Who are these people; who is this boy? What did they work for and what were their hopes, dreams and visions? Did they just work physically or did they work for the things beyond the flesh, for a grander purpose? Certainly they affected the Spirit-that-moves-in-all-things, but did they really work to the best of their ability to make things better for the future of their grandchildren, or did they do nothing other than to perpetuate the myth of society? Were they happy, joyous and filled with spiritual rapture, or did they just lead lives of labour and mediocrity? And did this boy live close to the Earth and the Creator, or did he just give up his youth, his sense of adventure, to toil, as did his parents and their parents before them? This boy was exactly your age, and I suspect he had hopes and dreams much like yours. But this is his legacy, lying in a forgotten grave."<br /><br />"But, Grandfather," I said, "isn't it enough just to be happy and live your life fully?"<br /><br />After a long moment of silence, Grandfather answered. "It is not enough that man be just happy in the flesh, but he must also be happy and joyous in spirit. For without spiritual happiness and rapture, life is shallow. Without seeking the things of the Spirit, life is half lived and empty. And by spiritual life I do not mean just setting aside one hour of one day of one week for worship, but to seek the things of the spirit every moment of every day. I ask you, then: What did these people do to seek spiritual enlightenment and rapture? Did they just give in to a life that was little more than work? They were given a choice every day of their lives-as you will be given a choice to seek the rapture of the Spirit or to resign yourselves to a life of meaningless work. The end result is always the same: forgotten graves and forgotten dreams of forgotten people. It is not important that anyone notice or remember, but that you work to touch God and affect in a positive way the consciousness of the Spirit-that-moves-in-all-things, thus bringing the consciousness of man closer to the Creator."<br /><br />We left the graveyard without a word and headed up to the campsite on the hill. By the time we reached the camp, it had cooled off and the Sun had long since set. As we built shelters and a fire and gathered food, time seemed to fly by unnoticed, as my mind was thoroughly engrossed in thoughts of the lessons in the graveyard. I wondered how much I might be like that nameless dead boy in that forgotten grave. Was I just seeking the flesh and not working hard enough in the things of the Spirit?<br /><br />It was then that I realized the deeper lessons of what Grandfather was trying to teach me. I realized then that I should live life as if I were to die tomorrow, for that is what happened to that young boy. No one can be assured of another day, but we must live each day fully, in flesh and most of all in Spirit. It isn't important that anyone remember who we were, but that we made a positive change in the consciousness of the Spirit-that-moves-in-all-things, the life force of the Earth, and, in doing so, find spiritual rapture and touch the Creator.<br /><br />I sat by the fire after the work was done, relaxing, still deep in thought about the boy in the graveyard. Grandfather sat at the far end of the fire, his eyes closed, but I suspected that he was not sleeping. In the firelight, his features appeared more that of a spirit than of flesh. Quietly he leaned forward and answered the many questions I had on my mind. At times, his ability to know what was on my mind was unnerving, sometimes making me angry to think that he could know my thoughts.<br /><br />"Did you ever watch a flock of sandpipers on the beach, how they ebb and flow with the tides, becoming at times not a gathering of individual animals but one organism, moving as a unit together along the surf? When they burst into flight, their cohesiveness is even more startling and wondrous. At once they all will be flying in a certain direction, and then in an instant the entire flock will turn simultaneously and take a new direction.<br /><br /><br />"Studied closely, there is no one bird that makes the decision to turn, but it seems to be a Spirit, a collective consciousness, that runs through the flock instantly. When viewed from afar, the flock appears to be one animal, one organism, one consciousness, governed by the collective force and spirit of all the individuals. It is this same consciousness that runs through man, Nature and the Earth-that which we call the 'Spirit-that-moves-in-all-things', or the 'life force'.<br /><br />"I suspect," he continued, "that it is but one bird that creates the thought that turns the flock, and the one thought becomes immediately manifested in all the others. The individual then transcends self and becomes one with the whole. Thus, at once, the bird moves within the flock and the flock moves within the bird. So, then, do not ask what you can do to affect the life force in a positive way, for the same Spirit that moves within the birds also moves within you. One person, one idea, one thought can turn the flock of society away from the destructive path of modern times. It is not a question as to whether we make a difference, for we all make a difference, each of us in our own way. It is the difference we make that is important."<br /><br />"So if we live a life that is close to the Spirit, seek the spiritual rapture of oneness, that will affect the outcome of life," I said. My statement was more a question than a declaration.<br /><br />"It is not enough," Grandfather said, "just to seek the things of the Spirit on a personal level. To do so is selfish, and those who just seek the spiritual realms for themselves are not working to change the Spirit that moves through the consciousness of man. Instead they are running away, hiding from their responsibility and using their wisdom for their own glorification. Spiritual man must then work for a principle, a cause, a Quest far greater than the glorification of self, in order to affect the spirit that can change the course of man's destruction."<br /><br />I sat for a long time in the quietude of the night, trying desperately to understand what Grandfather had told me. In essence, it was not enough to work for spiritual enlightenment for self, but to work for the spiritual enlightenment of all of mankind. To work only for self, to cloister oneself in the seeking of spiritual rapture, is to run from this responsibility. What Grandfather was saying is that a spiritual person must take the wisdom and philosophy of the Earth and bring it back into modern society.<br /><br />Grandfather spoke again. "Trying to live a spiritual life in modern society is the most difficult path one can walk. It is a path of pain, of isolation and of shaken faith, but that is the only way that our Vision can become reality. Thus the true Quest in life is to live the philosophy of the Earth within the confines of man. There is no church or temple we need to seek peace, for ours are the temples of the wilderness. There are no spiritual leaders, for our hearts and the Creator are our only leaders. Our numbers are scattered; few speak our language or understand the things that we live. Thus we walk this path alone, for each Vision, each Quest, is unique unto the individual. But we must walk within society or our Vision dies, for a man not living his Vision is living death."<br /><br />For a long time there was no other conversation. I retired into my own thoughts and doubts. I did not want to live within society, for the wilderness was my home, my love, my life and my spiritual rapture. I could not see why a man could not live his Vision in the purity of wilderness, away from the distractions of society. I could feel no urgency or see any reason why I should take what I have learned back to society.<br /><br />Grandfather's voice shattered my thoughts. "The Earth is dying. The destruction of man is close, so very close, and we must all work to change that path of destruction. We must pay for the sins of our grandfathers and grandmothers, for we have long been a society that kills its grandchildren to feed its children. There can be no rest, and we cannot run away; far too many in the past have run away. It is very easy to live a spiritual life away from man, but the truth of Vision in spiritual life can only be tested and become a reality when lived near society."<br /><br />"How do I know that we are so close to that destruction?" I asked.<br /><br />"I had a Vision," Grandfather said. "It was a Vision of the destruction of man. But man was given four warnings to that destruction, two of which gave man a chance to change his ways and two of which would give the children of the Earth time to escape the Creator's wrath."<br /><br />"How will I know these warnings, these signs?" I asked.<br /><br />Grandfather continued. "They will be obvious to you and those who have learned to listen to the Spirit of the Earth; but to those who live within the flesh and know only flesh, there is no knowing or understanding. When these signs, these warnings and prophecies, are made manifest, then you will understand the urgency of what I speak. Then you will understand why people must not just work for their own spiritual rapture but to bring that rapture to the consciousness of modern man."<br /><br />Grandfather continued. "They will be obvious to you and those who have learned to listen to the Spirit of the Earth; but to those who live within the flesh and know only flesh, there is no knowing or understanding. When these signs, these warnings and prophecies, are made manifest, then you will understand the urgency of what I speak. Then you will understand why people must not just work for their own spiritual rapture but to bring that rapture to the consciousness of modern man."<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Four Signs</span><br /><br />Grandfather had been wandering for several years and was well into his forties when the Vision of the four signs was given to him. He had just finished his third Vision Quest at the Eternal Cave when the Vision made itself known. He had been seated at the mouth of the cave, awaiting the rising Sun, when the spirit of the warrior appeared to him. He felt as if he were in a state somewhere between dream and reality, sleep and wakefulness, until the spirit finally spoke and he knew that it was not his imagination. The spirit called Grandfather's name and beckoned him to follow.<br /><br />As Grandfather stood, he was suddenly transported to another world. Again, he thought that he was dreaming, but his flesh could feel the reality of this place; his senses knew that this was a state of abject reality, but in another time and place.<br /><br />The spirit warrior spoke to Grandfather. "These are the things yet to come that will mark the destruction of man. These things you may never see, but you must work to stop them and pass these warnings on to your grandchildren. They are the possible futures of what will come if man does not come back to the Earth and begin to obey the laws of Creation and the Creator. There are four signs, four warnings, that only the children of the Earth will understand. Each warning marks the beginning of a possible future, and as each warning becomes reality, so too does the future it marks."<br /><br />With that, the spirit warrior was gone and Grandfather was left alone in this strange, new world.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The First Sign</span><br /><br />The world he was in was like nothing he had ever known. It was a dry place with little vegetation. In the distance he saw a village, yet it was made out of tents and cloth rather than from the materials of the Earth. As he drew closer to the village, the stench of death overwhelmed him and he grew sick. He could hear children crying, the moaning of elders and the sounds of sickness and despair. Piles of bodies lay in open pits awaiting burial, their contorted faces and frail frames telling of death from starvation. The bodies appeared more like skeletons than flesh, and children, adults and elders all looked the same, their once dark-brown complexions now ash-grey. As Grandfather entered the village, the horror of living starvation struck him deeper. Children could barely walk, elders lay dying, and everywhere were the cries of pain and fear. The stench of death and the sense of hopelessness overwhelmed Grandfather, threatening to drive him from the village.<br /><br />It was then that an elder appeared to Grandfather, at first speaking in a language that he could not understand. Grandfather realized, as the elder spoke, that he was the spirit of a man-a man no longer of flesh, but a man who had once walked a spiritual path, possibly a shaman of this tribe. It was then that he understood what the old one was trying to tell him.<br /><br />The elder spoke softly. "Welcome to what will be called the 'land of starvation'. The world will one day look upon all of this with horror and will blame the famine on the weather and the Earth. This will be the first warning to the world that man cannot live beyond the laws of Creation, nor can he fight Nature. If the world sees that it is to blame for this famine, this senseless starvation, then a great lesson will be learned. But I am afraid that the world will not blame itself, but that the blame will be placed on Nature. The world will not see that it created this place of death by forcing these people to have larger families. When the natural laws of the land were broken, the people starved, as Nature starves the deer in winter when their numbers are too many for the land to bear."<br /><br />The old one continued. "These people should have been left alone. They once understood how to live with the Earth, and their wealth was measured in happiness, love and peace. But all of that was taken from them when the world saw theirs as a primitive society. It was then that the world showed them how to farm and live in a less primitive way. It was the world that forced them to live outside the laws of Creation and, as a result, is now forcing them to die."<br /><br />The old man slowly began to walk away, back to the death and despair. He turned one last time to Grandfather, and said: "This will be the first sign. There will come starvation before and after this starvation, but none will capture the attention of the world with such impact as does this one. The children of the Earth will know the lessons that are held in all of this pain and death, but the world will only see it as drought and famine, blaming Nature instead of itself."<br /><br />With that, the old one disappeared, and Grandfather found himself back at the mouth of the Eternal Cave.<br /><br />Grandfather lay back on the ground, thinking about what he had witnessed. He knew that it had been a Vision of the possible future and that the spirit of the warrior had brought him to it to teach him what could happen. Grandfather knew that people all over the Earth were now starving-but why was this starvation so critical, so much more important than all the rest, even more important than the starvation that was taking place now?<br /><br />It was then that Grandfather recalled that the tribal elder had said that the entire world would take notice, but that the world would not learn the lessons of what the death and famine were trying to teach. The children would die in vain.<br /><br />Grandfather looked out across the barren land that surrounded the Eternal Cave to try to re-establish the reality of his 'now'. He said that it was still hard to discern between waking reality and the world of Vision, but he felt that he was back into his time and place.<br /><br />He told me that the Eternal Cave was always a place to find Visions of the possible and probable futures, and it was not uncommon for the searcher to have a Vision at the mouth of the cave, not just inside.<br /><br />In a state of physical and emotional exhaustion, Grandfather fell into a deep sleep, but it was in this sleep that the warrior spirit appeared to him again and brought the remainder of the first sign to completion.<br /><br />In his dream, the spirit spoke to Grandfather. "It is during the years of the famine, the first sign, that man will be plagued by a disease, a disease that will sweep the land and terrorize the masses. The white coats [doctors/scientists] will have no answers for the people, and a great cry will arise across the land. The disease will be born of monkeys, drugs and sex. It will destroy man from inside, making common sickness a killing disease. Mankind will bring this disease upon himself as a result of his life, his worship of sex and drugs, and a life away from Nature. This, too, is a part of the first warning; but, again, man will not heed this warning and he will continue to worship the false gods of sex and the unconscious spirit of drugs." [Author's note: This is presumably a reference to AIDS.]<br /><br />The spirit continued. "The drugs will produce wars in the cities of man, and the nations will arise against those wars, arise against that killing disease. But the nations will fight in the wrong way, lashing out at the effect rather than the cause. It will never win these wars until the nation, until society, changes its values and stops chasing the gods of sex and drugs. It is then, in the years of the first sign, that man can change the course of the probable future. It is then that he may understand the greater lessons of the famine and the disease. It is then that there can still be hope. But once the second sign of destruction appears, the Earth can no longer be healed on a physical level. Only a spiritual healing can then change the course of the probable futures of mankind."<br /><br />With that, the warrior spirit let Grandfather fall into a deep and dreamless sleep, allowing him to rest fully before any more Vision was wrought upon him.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Second Sign</span><br /><br />Grandfather awoke at the entrance of the cave once again, the memory of the warrior spirit still vivid in his mind, the spirit's words becoming part of his soul.<br /><br />When Grandfather looked out across the landscape, all had changed. The landscape appeared drier; there was no vegetation to be seen, and animals lay dying. A great stench of death arose from the land, and the dust was thick and choking, the intense heat oppressive. Looking skyward, the Sun seemed to be larger and more intense; no birds or clouds could be seen, and the air seemed thicker still. It was then that the sky seemed to surge and huge holes began to appear. The holes tore with a resounding, thunderous sound, and the very Earth, rocks and soil shook.<br /><br />The skin of the sky seemed to be torn open like a series of gaping wounds, and through these wounds seeped a liquid that seemed like the oozing of an infection, a great sea of floating garbage, oil and dead fish. It was through one of these wounds that Grandfather saw the floating bodies of dolphins, accompanied by tremendous upheavals of the Earth and violent storms. As he held fast to the trembling Earth, his eyes fell from the sky, and all about him, all at once, was disaster. Piles of garbage reached to the skies, forests lay cut and dying, coastlines were flooded and storms grew more violent and thunderous. With each passing moment, the Earth shook with greater intensity, threatening to tear apart and swallow Grandfather.<br /><br />Suddenly the Earth stopped shaking and the sky cleared. Out of the dusty air walked the warrior spirit, who stopped a short distance from Grandfather. As Grandfather looked into the face of the spirit, he could see that there were great tears flowing from his eyes, and each tear fell to the Earth with a searing sound.<br /><br />The spirit looked at Grandfather for a long moment, then finally spoke. "Holes in the sky."<br /><br />Grandfather thought for a moment, then, in a questioning, disbelieving manner, said, "Holes in the sky?"<br /><br />And the spirit answered. "They will become the second sign of the destruction of man. The holes in the sky and all that you have seen could become man's reality. It is here, at the beginning of this second sign, that man can no longer heal the Earth with physical action. It is here that man must heed the warning and work harder to change the future at hand. But man must not only work physically, he must also work spiritually, through prayer, for only through prayer can man now hope to heal the Earth and himself."<br /><br />There was a long pause as Grandfather thought about the impossibility of holes in the sky. Surely Grandfather knew that there could be a spiritual hole, but a hole that the societies of the Earth could notice would hardly seem likely.<br /><br />The spirit drew closer and spoke again, almost in a whisper. "These holes are a direct result of man's life, his travel, and of the sins of his grandfathers and grandmothers. These holes, the second sign, will mark the killing of his grandchildren and will become a legacy to man's life away from Nature. It is the time of these holes that will mark a great transition in mankind's thinking. They will then be faced with a choice-a choice to continue following the path of destruction, or a choice to move back to the philosophy of the Earth and a simpler existence. It is here that the decision must be made, or all will be lost."<br /><br />Without another word, the spirit turned and walked back into the dust.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Third Sign</span><br /><br />Grandfather spent the next four days at the cave entrance, though for those four days nothing spoke to him, not even the Earth. He said that it was a time of great sorrow, of aloneness, and a time to digest all that had taken place.<br /><br />He knew that these things would not appear in his lifetime, but they had to be passed down to the people of the future with the same urgency and power with which they had been delivered to him. But he did not know how he would explain these unlikely events to anyone. Surely the elders and shamans of the tribes would understand, but not society, and certainly not anyone who was removed from the Earth and Spirit.<br /><br />He sat for the full four days, unmoving, as if made of stone, and his heart felt heavy with the burden he now carried.<br /><br />It was at the end of the fourth day that the third Vision came to him. As he gazed out onto the landscape towards the setting Sun, the sky suddenly turned to a liquid and then turned blood-red. As far as his eyes could see, the sky was solid red, with no variation in shadow, texture or light. The whole of Creation seemed to have grown still, as if awaiting some unseen command. Time, place and destiny seemed to be in limbo, stilled by the bleeding sky. He gazed for a long time at the sky, in a state of awe and terror, for the red colour of the sky was like nothing he had ever seen in any sunset or sunrise. The colour was that of man, not of Nature, and it had a vile stench and texture. It seemed to burn the Earth wherever it touched. As sunset drifted to night, the stars shone bright red, the colour never leaving the sky, and everywhere the cries of fear and pain were heard.<br /><br />Again, the warrior spirit appeared to Grandfather, but this time as a voice from the sky. Like thunder, the voice shook the landscape. "This, then, is the third sign, the night of the bleeding stars. It will become known throughout the world, for the sky in all lands will be red with the blood of the sky, day and night. It is then, with this sign of the third probable future, that there is no longer hope. Life on the Earth as man has lived it will come to an end, and there can be no turning back, physically or spiritually. It is then, if things are not changed during the second sign, that man will surely know the destruction of the Earth is at hand. It is then that the children of the Earth must run to the wild places and hide. For when the sky bleeds fire, there will be no safety in the world of man."<br /><br />Grandfather sat in shocked horror as the voice continued.<br /><br />"From this time, when the stars bleed, to the fourth and final sign, will be four seasons of peace [that is, one year]. It is in these four seasons that the children of the Earth must live deep in the wild places and find a new home, close to the Earth and the Creator. It is only the children of the Earth that will survive, and they must live the philosophy of the Earth, never returning to the thinking of man. And survival will not be enough, for the children of the Earth must also live close to the Spirit. So tell them not to hesitate if and when this third sign becomes manifest in the stars, for there are but four seasons to escape."<br /><br />Grandfather said that the voice and red sky lingered for a week, and then were gone as quickly as they were manifest.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Fourth Sign</span><br /><br />He did not remember how many days he'd spent at the mouth of the cave, nor did it make a difference, for he had received the Vision he had come for.<br /><br />It was in his final night at the Eternal Cave that the fourth Vision came to Grandfather, this time carried by the voice of a young child.<br /><br />The child said, "The fourth and final sign will appear through the next ten winters [that is, ten years] following the night that the stars will bleed. During this time, the Earth will heal itself and man will die. For those ten years, the children of the Earth must remain hidden in the wild places, make no permanent camps, and wander to avoid contact with the last remaining forces of man. They must remain hidden, like the ancient scouts, and fight the urge to go back to the destruction of man. Curiosity could kill many."<br /><br />There was a long silence, until Grandfather spoke to the child spirit, asking, "And what will happen to the worlds of man?"<br /><br />There was another period of silence until finally the child spoke again. "There will be a great famine throughout the world, like man cannot imagine. Waters will run vile, the poisons of man's sins running strong in the waters of the soils, lakes and rivers. Crops will fail, the animals of man will die, and disease will kill the masses. The grandchildren will feed upon the remains of the dead, and all about will be the cries of pain and anguish. Roving bands of men will hunt and kill other men for food, and water will always be scarce, getting scarcer with each passing year. The land, the water, the sky will all be poisoned, and man will live in the wrath of the Creator. Man will hide at first in the cities, but there he will die. A few will run to the wilderness, but the wilderness will destroy them, for they had long ago been given a choice. Man will be destroyed, his cities in ruin, and it is then that the grandchildren will pay for the sins of their grandfathers and grandmothers."<br /><br />"Is there then no hope?" Grandfather asked.<br /><br />The child spoke again. "There is only hope during the time of the first and second signs. Upon the third sign, the night of the bleeding, there is no longer hope, for only the children of the Earth will survive. Man will be given these warnings; if unheeded, there can be no hope, for only the children of the Earth will purge themselves of the cancers of mankind, of mankind's destructive thinking. It will be the children of the Earth who will bring a new hope to the new society, living closer to the Earth and Spirit."<br /><br />Then all was silent, the landscape cleared and returned to normal, and Grandfather stepped from the Vision. Shaken, he said that he had wandered for the next season, trying to understand all that had been given to him, trying to understand why he had been chosen.<br /><br />Grandfather had related the story to me in great detail during that night of the four prophecies. I don't think that any event had been left out, and his emotions and thoughts were such that he actually relived it for us. Thus the power of his Vision became part of our spirit, our driving force, and a big part of our fears.<br /><br />I sat for a long time up on the hill. The fire had gone out, and all had retired to sleep for the night. Creation seemed to be at a standstill, awaiting this darkest part of the night to pass by. I felt alone and vulnerable, as if all of Creation were scrutinizing my every thought.<br /><br /><br /><br />Grandfather had these Visions some time in the 1920s.<br />(This is from the book, "The Quest" by Tom Brown, Jr.)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136382830550706926.post-8188292281736000342008-06-13T07:24:00.000-07:002008-06-13T07:26:25.849-07:00DAVID SEEWALDTMany years ago I lived in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I looked for like minded persons like myself. Only found one and soon we became friends. His name was Bill Allen. He had been a teacher in Calgary, finally retired and moved to Kelowna, BC where I visited him after I moved back to Seattle. This case was investigated by Bill Allen. Some of you may have heard it before but the newer ones to UFOlogy I am sure haven't. So this is the David Seewaldt case which took place on November 17, 1967. This was written up by B. Ann Slate in the April 1976 UFO Report.<br />___<br /><br />It was 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 17, 1967 in Alberta, Canada. Thirteen-year-old David Seewaldt ran through the front door of his home and raced upstairs like someone was after him. He was late coming home so his older sister, Angela, was alarmed and followed him upstairs. There she found him trying to hide under his bed. David was in a state of shock and mortal terror. Angela also noticed that he was wearing only one shoe. She grabbed her brother and shook him, asking what was wrong.<br /><br />David was trembling violently. He was staring past her glassy-eyed dazed, his eyes reflecting the inconceivable horror he had just experienced.<br /><br />"I.... I was chased by a flying saucer!" the teenager stammered. But even then, David Seewaldt couldn't remember the entire incident.<br /><br />His missing shoe was later found in the middle of the road outside his home. David had left his friend's house just before six p.m. It was only a three minute walk home if he cut across the vacant field, but David, who was always on time, couldn't account for those lost 30 minutes. The boy's usually placid, easy going manner was replaced by an unusual nervousness and tension the rest of that weekend. When pressed further about his experience with the UFO, David Seewaldt couldn't remember any details -- just that something had followed him.<br /><br />Five months later, in April 1968, David had a nightmare. In his sleep, he struggled violently with his younger brother who was finally able to wake him up. "Call Dad," David said hoarsely, sinking back onto his pillow. "Now I know what happened when I was chased by the UFO!"<br /><br />David remembered being taken aboard the flying saucer and subjected to a physical examination by aliens; aliens so different from Man that he referred to them as "monsters."<br /><br />His parents, after hearing their son's incredible statement, became quite concerned and called in UFO researcher-investigator W. K. Allen of Kelowna, B.C., they had heard Allen discuss flying saucers on a radio talk show. Allen went to the Seewaldt home on Sunday, November 19th to interview David but no new information was learned. All the boy could recall was that a UFO had chased him as he walked home across the empty field.<br /><br />Because of the untiring efforts of Bill Allen, a series of hypnotic regression sessions were arranged with a leading dental surgeon. The preliminary sessions produced such states of terror in David, who trembled, perspired profusely, and wrung his hands, that the dentist-hypnotist had to proceed very slowly. Each time he inquired about what happened after David had "looked up and saw this big thing," the hypnotized boy could not audibly reply. His fear caused his legs to start shaking violently.<br /><br />When David regained his composure, the doctor repeated the same question which caused another spasm of terror.<br /><br />Bill Allen, who attended the hypnotic sessions, was convinced by David's reactions that the boy had indeed undergone a terribly traumatic experience. David was not inhibited. When under hypnosis, the dental surgeon suggested that perhaps he'd been late that winter evening because he was up to some mischief with his friend and devised the UFO tale as a cover-up. David's reaction was extremely violent and hostile. The youngster was adamant that he was telling the truth.<br /><br />After many trial sessions the dentist changed his approach and discovered a way to circumvent David's horror of reliving the confrontation.<br /><br />"Do you watch television?" the dentist asked. David said he did.<br /><br />"You've never been hurt watching television have you?" The dentist asked and when the hypnotized boy agreed, it was suggested that David recount his experience in terms of viewing it on a television screen - a drama that couldn't possibly harm him.<br /><br />As the experiment proceeded, Dr. Masson, a psychologist form the University of Alberta was called in. The following are selected portions from his questioning of David under deep hypnotic recall.<br /><br />Dr: Now David you feel very well. I would like you to see yourself on the 19th of November last year. You can visualize that, you can see yourself there. All right, will you tell me where you are?<br />David: I'm in the empty lot.<br />Dr. All right, look around and tell me everything that you see.<br />David: I see an object in the sky above me.<br />Dr. What color is the object?<br />David: Silver-grayish. It has a colored band of lights around the middle of it. All colors... green, yellow, blue, orange, red, pink.<br />Dr. What happens next?<br />David: They put an orange beam on me.<br />Dr. Where does the beam come from?<br />David: The ship.<br />Dr. What part of the ship?<br />David: The middle... on the bottom.<br />Dr. How did you feel when the beam touched you?<br />David: I was sort of in a trance.<br />(Earlier David had stated under hypnosis that when he saw the beam coming down, he felt frightened. Now he was describing a second reaction after it touched him and he was being pulled up into the ship.)<br />Dr. Did the beam grab hold of your arms or did it grab hold of your body... what does the beam do to you?<br />David: It just brought me up in the ship.<br />Dr. How did it bring you up, like you were going up in an elevator?<br />David: No.<br />Dr. Did you feel a funny sensation as you were going up?<br />David: No.<br />Dr. Were you frightened?<br />David: No, I was in a trance.<br />Dr. Did you scream?<br />David: No.<br />Dr. All right now what's going on, keep telling me what's going on.<br />David: The beam is bringing me in the ship now. I see a monster.<br />Dr. Tell me all about the monster.<br />David. It has a scaly skin. It has holes for its nose and holes for its ears and it has a slit on its face for a mouth. It's brown.<br />Dr. How many monsters do you see?<br />David: Two<br />Dr. What made you think that the skin was scaly? What was there about the skin that made you think it was scaly?<br />David: It looked like a crocodile's skin. It's sort of rough all over.<br />Dr. What did their backs look like? Did they have a crocodile back too?<br />David: I never saw their backs.<br />Dr. Did they have any clothes on?<br />David: No, just that sort of skin.<br />Dr. Were they smiling?<br />David: No<br />Dr: Were they angry?<br />David: No<br />Dr. Were they happy?<br />David: No, they didn't show any expression.<br />Dr. Tell me everything that's happening now.<br />David. They put me on sort of a cot. He's looking at my body<br />Dr. What about your body?<br />David: He's studying it. He took all my clothes off.<br />Dr. All right David, now what is happening?<br />David: They're bringing me... through a hallway into another room.<br />Dr. What does the other room look like?<br />David. It has all sorts of bright lights in it...<br />Dr. What else do you see?<br />David: Theres another table there. They put me on that table.<br />Dr. And now, David?<br />David: He's lifting my head up. Hes lifting it up! (His voice is extremely frightened and plaintive as if wanting to escape from something.) He looks at my hair and my eyes and my nose... (Now David's breathing rises and falls with gasps and sobs as he relives that terrifying moment.)<br />Dr. How many are looking at you?<br />David: Four<br />Dr. What are they like?<br />David: They all look the same.<br />Dr. Can you tell me something more about their face?<br />David: It's sort of scary.<br />Dr. What about their head?<br />David: It's round.<br />Dr. How many hands do they have?<br />David: Two<br />Dr. Are their hands very similar to yours?<br />David: No. They're like... real rough.<br />Dr. How many fingers do they have?<br />David: Four<br />Dr. Do they have a thumb as well?<br />David. No<br />Dr. How big are these beings?<br />David: About six feet.<br />Dr. What are they wearing?<br />David: It looks like they're not wearing anything. They have a brown sort of scaly skin-like.<br />Dr. How many feet do they have?<br />David: Two. There's nothing on their feet.<br />Dr. How many toes do you see on their feet?<br />David: Four<br />Dr. What else do you notice about them that's unusual?<br />David. They only have four fingers. They have holes for their ears and nose and a slit for their mouth.<br />Dr. Are they saying anything to you?<br />David: I can't understand.<br />Dr. Why can't you understand?<br />David: It's a... it's a strange language<br />Dr. He's not speaking in English?<br />David: No.<br />Dr. Imitate the sound these beings are saying.<br />(David makes a long buzzing or humming sound much like a giant bee or some type of machinery. Dr. Masson asks him to repeat it in case they could detect a pattern which might be deciphered.)<br />Dr. And who is saying this?<br />David: Just one of them. He's telling the others.<br />Dr. What is he doing while he is saying this?<br />David: He's looking at my body.<br />Dr. Have you ever been on a table like that before?<br />David. Yes.<br />Dr. Where?<br />David: In an operating room.<br />Dr. What's going on now? You're on the table....<br />(David pauses, breathing heavily, as if not wanting to remember. The psychologist repeats the question, telling the hypnotized boy that he will be comfortable and not frightened by anything that he sees.)<br />David: They put this other thing over me.<br />Dr. What other thing? What does it look like?<br />David: It's a grayish color and they just throw it over me and then this great big, huge, orange-colored light comes down and is shown on me. Then one of them took sort of a needle. It's gray, it's small. He sticks it in my arm.<br />Dr. Were you awake all the time when you were in this room?<br />David Yes.<br />Dr. Did they give you anything to eat or drink?<br />David: No, I was sort of in a trance.<br />Dr. How did you feel in that trance state?<br />David: Sort of... I felt funny. I felt numb.<br />Dr. And what goes on now?<br />David: Then they put my clothes on again, they wheeled me out and they beamed me down.<br />Dr. Where do you get down?<br />David: In the empty lot.<br />Dr. Just before you saw the ship, what are you doing?<br />David: I'm walking.<br />Dr. Do you hear anything?<br />David: Yes, a high pitched sound.<br />Dr. What do you do when you hear it?<br />David: I look up and I see this great silvery-grayish object.<br />Dr. How big is the object?<br />David: About as big as a house.<br />Dr. And how far is it off the ground?<br />David: About 30 to 40 feet.<br />Dr. What do you notice about this object?<br />David: It has colored lights around the middle which melt together.<br />Dr. Do you feel any wind? Any vibration?<br />David: Just a wind.<br />Dr. What reaction do you have?<br />David: I'm frightened.<br />Dr. You ran?<br />David: Yes, but then the beam short down on me.<br />Dr. And what did the beam do when it shot down at you?<br />David: It brought me into the ship.<br />Dr. Now I would like you to come back to the time just before you see the ship and before you hear that high pitched sound. What are you doing, how are you feeling, what are you thinking?<br />David: I was coming from my friend's house. I felt great! I wasn't thinking about nothing.<br />Dr. Now, right after the beam has pulled you up and everything, we're right back and the object has disappeared. Now what's going on?<br />David: I start to run for home.<br />Dr. And how do you feel as you run home?<br />David: Frightened.<br />Dr. Is there any other feeling that you have?<br />David: I'm scared... frightened, I feel sort of numb all over.<br />Dr. Is there any part of your body that feels different from any other part of your body?<br />David: Yes, my head, like it was twirling around.<br />Dr. And how do your legs feel?<br />David: Numb.<br />Dr. I'm going to wake you now. You're back at the present.

Back in the 1960's I was only young and I was woken one night by a bright light lighting up my bedroom. I thought next door had turned their back light on so didn't investigate. When we arose the following morning the radio and TV was abuzz with a UFO report from 2 Police Officers from the Charlestown Police Station, about 4-5klms from my home. The two Officers said that the object had shone a bright light towards the ground as it passed over my house! The Charlestown Police Station have the News clippings and photos of these two officers, and have had police displays at Charlestown Square Shopping Centre where they had the clippings on display.<br /> <br />Williamtown RAAF Base is a few klms from Newcastle where we live and I have spoken to people here who have seen 'things' both around the city and suburbs and up the valley and also in close proximity to the RAAF Base. One was a nurse who works at the Stockton Mental Hospital a few klms from the Base. A few years ago they were carrying out exercises for the 'Gulf War' and she was entering the hospital grounds when she noticed something move just above the tree-tops near the entrance,above her. She said it was an enormous triangular aircraft she had never seen before and it was hovering and seemed to be watching the Base.<br /> <br />My sons and I have seen a huge silver ball near Chichester Dam further up the Hunter Valley, this was reported to the local radio, TV stations and the RAAF Base and the Base tried to pass it off as a weather balloon! Just how big are these weather balloons? This thing was huge! This was about 1983-84. In about 1989 my younger son and I arrived home from late-night shopping. As I parked the car in our drive-way, my son drew my attention to a 'machine' above us. I told him to take notice of its shape and see if he could see any gaps between the circle of lights and a body as it could be an advertising aircraft, but there appeared to be no gap and it was mechanical underneath and made no sound that we could hear. It was maybe 100 feet up above us and was heading towards the RAAF Base which is 34.97klms from my home at Jewells.<br /> <br />My son and I watched the 'craft' until it flew behind houses and trees and I ran inside and rang the RAAF Base. They kept transferring me from department to department until I found myself back where I started at reception. The receptionist then asked if I would like them to investigate and report back to me. I said "No don't bother its probably gone past you by now" and I hung up. I was told that was what they wanted me to do! Oh Brian, there are other sightings that I could tell you about but I don't want to bother you or have you thinking I am whacko. Is it normal for 1 person or a family to have so many sightings? Regards,<br />PS. 'Orange Floaters' and white lights also sighted by us and friends also.<br /> <br />Thank you to the witness for sharing these fascinating reports with me and everyone else. The witness is going to be writing up the events and will pass them along to me.<br /> <br />HBCC UFO Research - http://www.hbccufo.org<br /> <br />----------<br /> <br />U.S. Navy Serviceman Witnesses Glowing Silver UFOs<br /> <br />Date: May 6-12, 1977<br />Time: Approx: 4:00 p.m.<br /> <br />Full Description of event/sighting: I was home on leave from the U.S. Navy between May 6-12, 1977. While home near Kinder, Louisiana, I went and met a couple of friends that were fishing in an irrigation canal about a mile North of town on Green Oak Road around 4:00 PM in the afternoon. My friends were in a boat fishing about 100 yards from the road as I started walking down the canal levy to meet them. About half way to them, my friends started yelling like crazy for me to look up in the sky. They were pointing in the sky to the North of the canal, but I was unable to see anything because of trees growing nearby. I yelled back and ask what it was, and they were yelling that it was a UFO!<br /><br />At that time, I started running toward them and looking through the trees for an opening. As I neared my friends, I saw the object in the sky that had them all excited. It appeared to be a perfectly round silver sphere glowing against the cloudless blue afternoon sky. Again I ask my friends what it was, and again they said it was a UFO as they paddled to the bank and told me to get in the boat to have a better look at the object. As we paddled away from the bank and sat in the middle of the canal watching the object for a few minutes it appeared to be getting somewhat closer like maybe it was drifting toward us slightly. I thought that possibly it could have been a weather balloon at that point, except for the fact that it was perfectly round and not long like a weather balloon and the silver glow of the object seemed far more intense that any weather balloon that I have ever seen reflecting the sun. The object became very stationary again and appeared to be the size of a quarter held at arms length. Without any reference to the size of the object, I was unable to determine if it was the size of a basketball and was just above the grown pine trees, or if it was a mile across and two miles away. At it closest most stationary point, I remember remarking to my friends that there was something larger and transparent behind the glowing sphere in the sky. It was difficult to see, but there appeared to be a much larger transparent possibly saucer shaped object on top of the sphere. You could see the sky through the larger object, but you also see the outline of the larger shape above it as if you were looking through a clear glass object.<br /><br />About five minutes into the sighting, a smaller very intense red ball of light appeared at the bottom on the silver sphere that looked very much like a lit road flair without any smoke coming off of it. Very slowly the intense red ball of light started to lower from the silver sphere and appeared to be held in position by a very fine dark line in the sky. The much smaller intense red ball lowered a distance about four times the diameter of the larger silver sphere and then stopped in the sky and remained stationary as the dark line that appeared to be lowering the object appeared to turn into ashes and fall from the sky. The lowering of the red object took 1-2 minutes.<br /><br />Over the period of the next five minutes, the smaller red ball of light started expanding and collapsing in size getting lighter in color as it expanded and redder as it collapsed. Each time the red ball of light expanded and collapsed it remained larger each time and lighter in color until it was finally identical in size and color of the larger silver sphere in which the much smaller ball of light descended from. Now the identical silver spheres of light sat stationary one above the other for another five minutes.<br /><br />After five minutes, suddenly both spheres moved far across the sky to the West so fast that the eye was unable to see the movement. The objects were simply here and then all of sudden they were sitting far across the sky at a dead stop with a fine dark line in the sky from where each object was sitting connecting to were each object now sat. Again, the fine dark lines in the sky appeared to turn to ashes and fall from the sky in a couple of seconds. Both objects repeated these rapid unseen to the eye movements 4-5 times over the next five minutes leaving the fine dark line each time they moved back and forth widely from the East and West across the sky. Each time both objects stayed perfectly spaced one above the other.<br /><br />After five minutes of unbelievable and unseen movement and instant stops that lasted about a minute each, one sphere darted quickly out of sight behind the trees to the North and the other quickly cleared the Eastern horizon in approximately two seconds. At least this time they were moving slow enough to actually see them move across the sky.<br /><br />During the entire 20 minutes or so that we observed the object (s) moving or sitting stationary in the sky there were no noise whatsoever heard form them.<br /><br />After both objects left the area, we quickly loaded up the boat and headed toward the home of one my friends in the boat that lived two miles North of our location. Upon pulling up at my friends house, his younger brothers and sister came running up to the truck all yelling "daddy saw a UFO, daddy saw a UFO". My friend said, "let me do the talking" and then asked his dad what he saw. His dad said, "that he had saw a UFO straight above his property for nearly ten minutes and that it sprayed spider webs every time it moved."<br /><br />When asked what he meant about it spraying spider webs, he said "every time it moved it sprayed spider webs that fell on his property and completely covered his ten acre pasture so that it looked like it was totally covered by white frost". He said that he tried to gather the spider webs up in his hands and it would melt in his hands as soon as it touched the skin. By the time we had made it to my friends home all of the "spider webs" had melted off of the ten acre pasture.<br /><br />I then headed to town (Kinder, LA) to see if anyone in town had seen the "UFO". I met nearly a dozen different people shortly thereafter that I knew and they all asked, "did you see the UFO" before I would even have a chance to ask them. With so many people seeing the UFO, I figured that it had to be on the evening news so I headed home to watch it. Nothing was mentioned during the newscast, but at the start of the weather the weatherman announced that 200 people had called the TV station (KPLC) and reported seeing a UFO between Kinder and Oakdale, LA (a distance of 30 miles). However, the weatherman then announced that it was not a UFO. He stated that the National Weather Service had called the station and said that it was only a "special weather balloon that was equipped with rockets".<br /><br />Two days after the above sighting while riding with my brother on Hwy 165 South of Kinder. My brother ran his brand new Ford LTD II off the road, jumped out of the car and unto the hood yelling, "I saw it, I saw it". Thinking he had nutted up, I ask him, "you saw what". He said that he had just seen one of the silver spheres on the East side of the highway and that it had crashed into the rice field between the 3rd and 4th levy (maybe 100 yards) from the road. He then attempted to enter the field, but I persuaded him not to enter the field as it was planted with young rice about 6 inches high and flooded with water. I assured him that if the object had crashed, we would have been able to see it from the road. I asked him if he had seen any water or mud come up from the ground when it crashed and he said, "actually it did not look like it crashed, it looked like it went into the ground".<br /><br />I was just wondering if anyone else had seen a "weather balloon" that could move across the sky in excess of 30,000 mph and stop and go in an instant without making any noise. I have been looking for another one for over 30 years without any luck.<br /> <br />Thank you to the witness for an excellent report.<br /> <br />HBCC UFO Research - http://www.hbccufo.org<br /> <br />----------<br /> <br />Salmo, British Columbia Red Saucer Shaped UFO<br /> <br />Date: August 1981<br />Time: Approx: 6:20 p.m.<br /><br />It was the August 1981 when a the witness left work and drove home. Not a few minutes passed after arriving home when he turned around in the yard and looked towards a small open field when he saw, above the trees and at the far end of the field a bright glowing red craft. It's shape was saucer-like but it also flared out on all sides.<br /><br />The object was stationary in the sky and not a sound was heard. There were no lights of any kind, just the glowing red craft which was approx; the size of a pick-up truck. He man said he watched it for approx: 2 or 3 minutes, (which to him felt like a life time). The object moved slowly towards the northeast and the fellow lost sight of it due to the trees which blocked view.<br /> <br />Thank you to the witness for the report and I will be speaking to him again as we were rushed at the time of taking the report.<br /> <br />HBCC UFO Research - http://www.hbccufo.org<br /> <br />----------<br /> <br />East Yakima, Washington A Round Silver UFO<br /> <br />Date: May 3, 2004<br />Time: 6:30 p.m.<br /> <br />Location of Sighting: East Yakima.<br />Number of witnesses: 1<br />Number of objects: 1<br />Shape of objects:<br /> <br />Full Description of event/sighting: I saw it last evening about 6:30 or so.<br /> <br />It was round, silver in color and had two pulsating red lights on each side. There was no noise heard, no propeller, jet exhaust or wings. It had to be propelled and held aloft by anti-gravity means and the speed was about the same as a Horizon plane as it came into landing on a airport runway. The height was about 400 feet off the ground just west of the Terrace Height overpass and it never wavered up or down or sideways because of the brisk wind. Direction from northwest to southeast.<br /><br />Thank you to the witness for their report.<br /> <br />HBCC UFO Research - http://www.hbccufo.org<br /> <br />----------<br /> <br />San Jose Hills, California Done With Unknown Object<br /> <br />Date: May 5, 2008<br />Time: 6:00 p.m.<br /><br />Number of witnesses: 1<br />Number of objects: 2<br />Shape of objects: 1 orange-juice squeezer drone and one large craft.<br />Weather Conditions: Clear overhead; both vehicles were moving in and out between clouds.<br /><br />Description: Clouds typically come from the west, not east. I was walking my dogs and noticed a straight strut sticking out from a cumulus cloud at the top of the hill. I watched the strut emerge from the orange-juice-squeezer-type drone that was reported frequently in spring of 2007. Then behind the drone as it faded back into these unusual clouds, a very large and typical saucer-type craft appeared behind and to the right of where the drone had been.<br /><br />TV/Radio: No.<br /> <br />UFOINFO http://www.ufoinfo.com/<br /> <br />----------<br /> <br />Over the Trigo Fire, McIntosh, New Mexico UFO (Photos And Audio Interview)<br /> <br />Date: May 3, 2008<br />Time: 9:00 p.m.<br /><br />Number of witnesses: 1<br />Number of objects: 1<br />Shape of objects: V- shape with wing shapes.<br />Weather Conditions: Cool and clear.<br /><br />Description: I live in McIntosh NM. That's about 15-20 north of where the object was sighted over the fire area. That evening I went out to see if I could see the glow of the fire and see if it was getting any worse. I was looking up at the stars and noticed that one of them was flashing alot, and very colorfully, thought maybe a helicopter, until it moved very quickly about an 1" in the sky, at that point I went for my camera, it's only a 5 megapixal with a 3x zoom. I zoomed all out, and set the camera on the moon light setting and set the camera on the car roof to steady it. I centered the object in the middle of the screen and started shooting.<br /> <br />I watched it for at least another 45 minutes. It didn't move during that time. I was getting cold and went inside to see what I might have. Only one of maybe a 100 shots came out, and it was a really good one I think. You can see for yourself. I did report it to MUFON, but they haven't even posted on the sightings on the web, why I don't know, so until it is recognized for what it is a UFO, I'm not going to stop trying to let it be known that there is a totally new UFO out there. Don Burleson, was baffled by it, puzzled, and not a clue what it might be, except that it was an "Unidentified Ariel Vehicle" and Metallic. Here you are what do you think?<br /><br />TV/Radio: Couldn't seem to download it to Koat 7 so nobody really knows at all! MUFON knows, but no response on the web for the other UFO people to view, and You guys!<br /> <br />Additional Information:<br /> <br />This is (name removed), I sent you the UFO report yesterday, I thought you might like to see the newest UFO shape, it had MUFON stumped! The first one you can blow up yourself, to see how far I had to bring it in with my computer. The rest are for you to see, if you can't. Just trying to cover all the bases.This is no gag, this is a real photo of what was over the Trigo fire, May 3rd. It's such a completely different look , it really is hard to believe!! Let me know what you think?<br /> <br />No mistake, I did send in the report on the sighting on May 3rd. Sure hope the photo's made it through too. Somehow I didn't have the very first shot that was never enlarged at all, only telephoto out 3x on camera to center the object, I had to reload it into my computer from the camera.I'll attach it now. This really is a completely new shape isn't it! The first don't enlarge title was for me as a reminder,as not to play with and enlarge and save and lose the original, you do what you like to it. Thank You. McIntosh NM. This sighting hasn't even been public yet! This really is way to a beautiful a craft to go noticed for so long!<br /> <br />Photos © MWH 2008<br /><br />Thank you to UFOINFO for this report. http://www.ufoinfo.com/<br /> <br />Telephone interview by Brian Vike - HBCC UFO Research.<br /><br />Clip #1 Mike describes his sighting in this audio report.

Out of all my pictures this one is unexplainable. It was taken about 11:00pm just when the sun set for the night. It was pretty windy with gusts 20-25 mph blowing from the northeast, the ice was also floating by in this direction, choppy water and no boats or lights were present. There was indeed a few bowhead and beluga whales swimming by, along with a few seals. I can't figure out what these "Bright Lights/Grey Bluish Ball" are near or on the floating iceberg. The only odd sighting that evening was a weird looking object/UFO to the left of the setting sun that seemed to be multiplying in thin air. Seen what appeared to be an exhaust plume of some sort. As for the two bright lights/grey bluish glob, that was not seen until I viewed my photos a few days later.<br /> <br />Thank you to the witness for their report.<br /> <br />HBCC UFO Research - http://www.hbccufo.org<br /> <br />----------<br /> <br />Parkland Region, Manitoba A Orange/Red UFO With Incredible Speed<br /> <br />Date: May 31, 2008<br />Time: 2:00 a.m.<br /> <br />Clear sky/calm conditions.<br />Witnesses: 2<br />Description: (1) Orange/Red Object with incredible speed.<br /> <br />Hi Brian..hope you are well...<br />My buddy went out to the lake last weekend...I decided to stay at home.<br /><br />We were talking today about the lake and I quizzed him about if there were any strange things in the sky last weekend..He quickly responded, having forgotten to mention it when he returned.<br /><br />This is the report form both witnesses whom I have talked to separately.<br /><br />Saturday night my friend and his girlfriend spotted an object at 2:00 am as they were out side the cabin for some fresh air. They both quickly noticed a bright object off to the western horizon..As soon as they spotted it the quickly noticed the obvious speed of it. It was traveling at speeds much faster then any other craft (Jet or satellite) they have seen. The orange/red object preceded in an easterly direction almost above..but was not going in a straight line from west to east..It was arching..towards the north. The object was seen from virtually horizon to horizon..and it spanned the distance in-between in a matter of 12 to 15 seconds.<br /><br />The object appeared to both friends as having an orange/red hue to it. There were no trails to it or other lights..and it stayed a constant intensity the whole time. The color did not change.<br /><br />As stated by the witnesses:<br /><br />- "It was not a satellite or meteor..They are a very common sight above the lake..It did appear to be moving in controlled fashion."<br /> <br />- "The speed this object was traveling was faster then any jets that we have, can go. It was pretty high up., but it was big enough to see clearly in the night sky."<br /><br />- "There was no sound from it."<br /><br />Brian both of my friends descriptions of the sighting were identical, so I combined them.<br /><br />If I have missed anything, feel free to ask. I will relay any responses. Take care!<br /> <br />Thank you to the person for relaying his friends sighting.<br /> <br />HBCC UFO Research - http://www.hbccufo.org<br /> <br />----------<br /> <br />Naugatuck, Connecticut Bigfoot Or Something Else ?<br /> <br />Date: June 3, 2008<br />Time: 1:30 or 2:00 a.m.<br /> <br />Message: I don't want to sound fanatic and hopefully there is a good explanation to all this. I live in Connecticut and not sure what I heard last night at approx. 1:30 a.m. The backyard of my home faces the woods. My backyard is several yards from a sharp ravine that slopes down to into the woods and to a stream. Not too far from the stream is a reservoir located in a wooded area. With my window open last night, I heard what was like a whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop sound coming from the woods in the back of my house. At the same time, I heard a loud pitch screeching noise more near my house that nearly shook me out of bed. It seemed liked the screeching sound was closer to my home than the whooping sound. I know the woods could house many wild animals due to the stream in the back.<br /> <br />I haven't got the foggiest clue what I'm hearing back there. Another time, my husband and I heard sounds in the wee hours of the morning what sounded like sounds coming from a jungle (almost like a large bird). But it seemed like there were two of these things communicating with each other. Do you think these are animals instead of birds. I don't know of any birds awake at 1:30 or 2:00 in the morning. Thanks for your help.<br /> <br />Additional Information:<br /> <br />Thank you for your response. My county is Naugatuck. The woods is adjacent to our stretch of homes in the back of our park. Unfortunately, I didn't have a recorder handy, but neither was I expecting this type of event. I asked my neighbor if she heard anything last night (June 3, 2008) but she heard nothing. She did say at times she hears strange animal noises but not to this liking. I would like to explore the ravine for footprints, but it's so steep and dangerous. Do you think a large animal similar to Bigfoot could be present in the area? It's kind of strange, but the whooping sound almost sounded mechanical instead of humanlike. I know we have a water treatment plant in back of the stream, but I don't think the sound came from the plant. I will keep a tape recorder handily just in case another sound pops up.<br /> <br />Also, just another piece of information, a couple of weeks ago, I heard some strange noises (between a clicking and cawing, different sound, but hard to explain) coming from woods in my backyard. This happened same time around 1:30 -2:00 a.m. It sounded like these two 'things' were calling out to each other from a distance. I really didn't pay much attention to these noises, but since last night's episode, I'm rather curious now. Hope I'm not alone hearing these things. Please let me know. Thanks.<br /> <br />Thank you to the witness for the interesting report.<br /> <br />HBCC UFO Research - http://www.hbccufo.org<br /> <br />----------<br /> <br />Chagford, Devon U.K. Bright Light<br /> <br />Date: May 28, 2008<br />Time: 10:41 p.m.<br /><br />Number of witnesses: 1<br />Number of objects: 1<br />Shape of objects: Light point.<br />Weather Conditions: clear.<br /><br />Description: A very bright light moving at a constant speed from North West West to South East East, directly over Chagford. Period of viewing was about 2 - 3 minutes. I came outside to see what i originally thought to be a bright star in the west. It slowly moved across the horizon directly overhead. It's brightness gained in intensity whilst overhead which leads me to believe it was quite low. From no angle was the light obscured in any way (as would an aircraft with its fuselage) as it moved off into the eastern horizon. There was absolutely no sound. The object was far brighter than any other star in the sky and easily brighter than any satellite I've ever seen. Basically, I'm a rational person but have never seen anything I'm not equipped to explain. This has left me utterly confused.<br /><br />TV/Radio: N/A.<br /> <br />UFOINFO http://www.ufoinfo.com/<br /> <br />----------<br /> <br />Victoria, British Columbia Witnesses See What They Believed To be A UFO<br /> <br />Date: May 28, 2008<br />Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.<br /> <br />Location of Sighting: Parking lot of Craigdaroch Castle in Victoria, BC.<br />Number of witnesses: 2<br />Number of objects: 1<br />Shape of objects: Like a very bright satellite.<br /> <br />Full Description of event/sighting: It was a cold night on May 28, 2008, at approx. 2300 hrs, as I, my sister, my mother, and our friend stood outside the Craigdaroch Castle, listening to the stories of the security guard on duty. Story time was just finishing up, so I looked up to take one last look at the beautiful piece of architecture that stood before me. An unusually bright star caught my attention just to the left of the building. At a closer glance the star appeared to be moving slightly, so I assumed that it nothing more than an exceptionally bright satellite.<br /> <br />So I turned back to hear the rest of the never-ending tale of our new friend. Just then, my sister, who was also looking up at the sky at the same time, said, "hey, where did that light go?" Someone said, "what light?" to which she replied, "the satellite that I was watching just disappeared" I said, "say what?" I looked back to the spot where I last saw this "satellite", and sure enough, it had vanished! I looked all over the night sky and saw no sign of anything moving! I am convinced that what both me and my sister saw was, in fact, a UFO!<br /><br />Now, whether it was of alien origin, or one of the government's test objects, that is up for debate.<br /> <br />Thank you to the witness for their report.<br /> <br />HBCC UFO Research - http://www.hbccufo.org<br /> <br />----------<br /> <br />Vernon, British Columbia Large White UFO Flashes Red Then Disappears<br /> <br />Date: May 30, 2008<br />Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.<br /> <br />Location of Sighting: Over Okanagan Lake heading East.<br />Number of witnesses: 3<br />Number of objects: 1<br />Shape of objects: Bright white light.<br /> <br />Full Description of event/sighting: Three of us saw a bright white light heading East over the lake. We were on a boat in the lake looking up at the stars. This was larger and brighter than a satellite and made no noise. It wasn't flashing like a plane would be. It went East and we followed it with our eyes until it suddenly started getting dimmer and dimmer until it flashed red and disappeared completely. It wasn't anything we could identify with.<br /> <br />Thank you to the witness for their report.<br /> <br />HBCC UFO Research - http://www.hbccufo.org<br /> <br />----------<br /> <br />Reno, Nevada Star Bright UFO Seen In The Daylight Sky<br /> <br />Date: June 1, 2008<br />Time: 3:00 - 4:00 p.m.<br /> <br />Location of Sighting: Reno.<br />Number of witnesses: 2<br />Number of objects: 1<br />Shape of objects: Looked like a large Star the size of the ball on a ball point pen.<br /> <br />Full Description of event/sighting: I was glancing up at the sky above Rattlesnake Mountain looking east when I saw a bright star-like object in the sky. I first thought it was a bright star in the clear blue sky until it moved to the right about a few centimeters. Then it stopped for about a minute or so as I continued to watch closely. I was at work near IGT and I asked my co-worker if he could see it and he said yes. Then after a minute it moved in the opposite direction to the left. After that I was pretty sure it was a UFO. After watching it idle, it still was so far into the galaxy that it was a size of the ball in a ball point pen shinning, still shinning bright like a star, until it slowly started to move to the left again slowly and I mean slowly. It got smaller and smaller until it was the size of a grain of salt. The total duration of all of this must have been about 5 minutes. I have never seen something stay in one general area like that and slowly grow smaller and smaller as if it were hauling butt out into the galaxy. It made my eyes water as it got so distant and my 20/20 vision really helped. And to see something like that in the middle of the day was great. Let me know if anyone else saw the same thing.<br /> <br />Thank you to the witness for their report.<br /> <br />HBCC UFO Research - http://www.hbccufo.org<br /> <br />----------<br /> <br />Basin, Wyoming A Wing Shaped UFO<br /> <br />Date: June 2, 2008<br />Time: 10:50 p.m.<br /> <br />Location of Sighting: Back Yard in Basin WY.<br />Number of witnesses: 2<br />Number of objects: 1<br />Shape of objects: Wing shape.<br /> <br />Full Description of event/sighting: Was in the hot tub, my wife came out to have a smoke and I seen something move thought sky no lights. Just think ground light reflected back on object. It was pretty low in the sky and flew east then changed direction north behind some trees. I told my wife to look, but by the time I got her eye on it, it moved east, north, back to east and she finally saw it briefly head back north and it was gone. It may have been higher than I thought and was the shape of a wing, maybe a little bigger than a man. I've seen this same object before told my wife about it but it is almost translucent and only catches ground light I believe, not sure on that one. Well there it is, had to tell someone.<br /> <br />Thank you to the witness for their report.<br /> <br />HBCC UFO Research - http://www.hbccufo.org<br /> <br />----------<br /> <br />McCreary, Manitoba Bright White Object Turns Blue In Color<br /> <br />Date: June 2, 2008<br />Time: 11:00 p.m.<br /> <br />Location of Sighting: Our house, north of McCreary, Manitoba.<br />Number of witnesses: 2<br />Number of objects: 1<br />Shape of objects: Round.<br /> <br />Full Description of event/sighting: We had stepped outside to let our dog pee before bed, and I noticed a large white light above our tree-line on the south side of our house. I told my girlfriend about it, and when she saw it she went into the house to get her camera.<br /><br />As I watched it, it traveled in what appeared to be a southwest direction as it got smaller (appeared to be moving away, not across the sky). I read a few reports today and saw one description as "fading away like a light bulb turning off". It certainly got smaller and eventually went from solid white to a blue color and then disappeared from sight.<br /><br />It didn't blink at all, which ruled out aircraft and probably satellites, but I did think I could check on satellite positions. I can't seem to find much information on that, but I thought I would report the light anyways in case a number of other people had seen it as well, or if there was an explanation for it.

I had gone back in, when he called be back, saying "You've got to see this, quick!" I ran out, and he asked "Do you see that light over there?" I told him I did. He asked me what it was doing, and when I focused on it. I could see that it was moving erratically, and quickly. Like right, left, forward, left, right, back. And in a flash-like motion. Like it was instantly leaving one spot and reappeared in another.<br />I couldn't answer him fast enough, and he pretty much answered his own question by re-iterating what I'd just seen. We watched it for about 10 seconds more, as it flashed back and forth, then it was gone. It didn't 'fade', it just disappeared.<br /><br />What followed were Goosebumps and "What the heck was that?", and "Did you see that too?".<br /><br />So, we don't know if this was a UFO sighting, but it sure looked like one to us.

At first we thought the object was a low flying airplane. We noticed that the size was unusual and thought it might be the space station. <br /><br />There was no airplane noise. It was quiet, except for the light breezes. No other noises were witnessed. It moved relatively fast, slight twitching left to right in movement, still moving southeasterly until it faded to a pinprick suddenly and disappeared. It had still been traveling in the southeasterly direction.<br /><br />There was a satellite heading northerly that looked much higher up, but yet intersecting the larger white object. The small satellite looked, in comparison, like a much slower moving pinpoint.<br /> <br />Thank you to the witness for their report.<br /> <br />----------<br /> <br />Brian Vike, Director HBCC UFO Research and host of the Vike Report UFO Eyewitness radio show. email: hbccufo@telus.net Website: http://www.hbccufo.org http://www.brianvike.com, http://www.hbccufo.com, http://www.hbccufo.net HBCC UFO Research International: http://www.hbccufointernational.org/<br /> <br />Just added, the Vike Report Radio Show Blog.

With an annual rainfall of 13 inches and soils full of clay, it's certainly not Iowa. Yet the early Ancestral Puebloans successfully grew enough corn, beans and squash without irrigation in a short growing season to support populations that equaled today's population in Montezuma County (where we live - Aileen).<br /><br />How did they do it? That's the answer being sought by a Pueblo Farming Project at Crow Canyon Archaeological Center northwest of Cortez.<br /><br />Last week, descendants of the early Pueblo nations returned to plant a summer crop of corn, beans and squash, donating some of their traditional seed. Drawing on planting techniques and advice of modern Pueblo people, the project is experimenting with traditional dryland farming in three different gardens to better understand the Ancestral Puebloans who raised corn in the area from 600 to 1300 A.D.<br /><br />Nine leaders from the Hopi, Ohkay Owingeh (formerly San Juan Pueblo) and Jemez nations met May 27 and 28 for a two day working conference with Crow Canyon staff, to learn from each other about agriculture both in the past and today.<br /><br />"There is the scientific aspect -- how the ancient people farmed, what crop yiels they had in the past, what techniques they used. There is also the educational aspect. The gardens are part of our curriculum as we teach about the way they planted. They had sustainable agriculture for 700 years," explained Mark Varien, vice-president of programs for Crow Canyon.<br /><br />"Understanding how the people made a living on the landscape is fundamental to understanding the archeology," Varien said. "How did the population grow its crops, how many could it support, and how did that affect their lives.?"<br /><br />Summing up the key factors for traditional dryland farming, Varien said there were three important factors: planting seeds deep, planting in clumps, and spacing the plants far apart.<br /><br />"The Hopi plant (corn) deep -- at least 12 inches," explained Leigh Kuwanwisiwma, Director of Cultural Preservation Office for the Hopi Tribe in Kykotsmovi, AZ, east of Tuba City. "A commercial planter might go three inches deep, but here in the Southwest, it has to be deep." Corn is planted about nine feet apart in clumps of 10 to 12 plants, and weeds removed to prevent competition for moisture.<br /><br />In the old days, planting would be a communal affair, Kuwanwisiwma said. One person would make a hole with a wooden digging stick and others would come along to loosen the soil at the bottom, put the seed in and tamp it down, he said.<br /><br />For the Crow Canyon garden, three varieties of corn seed donated by the Hopi were planted. When the plants emerge, the weakest in each clump will be thinned. In each clump, the outer corn plants will be weak, but are left to protect the inner plants from wind, Varien said.<br /><br />"The best corn would have been saved for next year's crop, so the stock kept getting stronger. Over the millennia, the Pueblo people were gradually developing varieties especially adapted to growing in that environment. They were practicing genetic selection," Varien said.<br /><br />Kuwanwisiwma brought 13 different varieties of Hopi corn to show, including the most popular white and blue corn, as well as varieties called yellow, greasy, gray, orange, sweet, purple, speckled, red and mixed red and yellow.<br /><br />"I still keep the old seeds to grow, so I keep the traditional varieties alive," Kuwanwisiswma said. He is concerned about genetic tainting on his reservation, as there has been an influx of different types of corn from outside sources.<br /><br />Corn figures prominently in Hopi culture and religion. Kuwanwisiwma said, "Once you plant the corn, it is intended to grow. They're our children."<br /><br />The Hopi don't irrigate their mesa-top farms and instead rely on rainfall and planting techniques that conserve soil moisture. "When the clouds come, we get water in sacred ways," he explained. "If you water the corn, you've ruined it. With this kind of farming, it's a matter of faith." The Hopi have ceremonies for planting, for blessing with moisture, and for the sun, moon and seasons.<br /><br />Kuwanwisiwma explained that it was important to plant and tend the crops with the best intentions. "When children laugh and play, the corn laughs and plays. When the men go out and sing, the corn plants are our children and it makes them happy," Kuwanwisiwma explained.<br /><br />After the harvest, corn stalks are left laying down, which stops soil erosion, and also collects snow in the winter to retain moisture, Kuwanwisiwma explained. The next year's crop would be planted in a new row beside the previous year's, letting the ground lay fallow in between crops.<br /><br />In the fall, after the corn harvest, women elders from the Pueblo nations will be invited to Crow Canyon to talk about what happens to the corn after it is harvested, including how it is stored, processed and prepared, Varien said.<br /><br />The agriculture ecology will be taught to the 3,000 students a year who visit Crow Canyon, Varien said. In addition, educational materials will be created to teach the principles of sustainability and farming in this area, he said. A group of teachers from the Jemez, Tesuque, Acoma, Laguna and Hopi nations also are invited to a workshop to develop a curriculum for students, incorporating the farming project.<br /><br />It is estimated that each early Pueblo family would have planted six to eight acres of corn, in addition to beans and squash, Varien said. That would have been enough to feed the family and its turkey flock for one year, plus allow for storage of enough corn to last for two additional years, in case of drought.<br /><br />Between AD 600 and 1300 Montezuma and Dolores counties become the population center of the Mesa Verde region, as they began growing corn, beans and squash to supplement hunting and gathering, which allowed population growth to an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 people in the peak years of 1225 and 1250, he explained.<br />____________<br /><br /> I hope you found this article informative.

We were eventually towed to Storm Lake, Iowa. The landscape on the way there is all farms and flat land. At the time of year we were there no corn had been planted so it was all "dirt!" Storm Lake was an interesting little town which we enjoyed touring. When I saw this article I knew I wanted to reprint it. Amazingly it is from 1969! Hope you enjoy it. It was printed in Collector's Edition Official UFO, Fall 1976.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">THE IOWA UFO LANDINGS</span><br />By Kevin D. Randle<br /><br />Common forms of UFO physical evidence are the burns, depressions and crushed vegetation resulting from landing UFOs. This is something that all parts of the United States and involves all kinds of people. And the problem in Iowa may be symptomatic of a much larger situation.<br /><br />Many low flying UFOs and burned areas are now being reported. In the last six years only a few sensational cases have hit the national press, even though there have been thousands of sightings and hundreds of landings. In Iowa there has been at least one major sighting each year. One that received statewide coverage. If the Iowa situation is a symptom of a larger trend, then the 10 landings in the last six years can be multiplied by the number of states. That would mean that there have been over 500 UFO landings in the United States in those last six years.<br /><br />On July 13, 1969, one of the most dramatic of the Iowa physical evidence cases occurred. Patti Barr, of Van Horne, (approximately 40 miles west of Cedar Rapids) was getting ready for bed when she heard a loud roar that sounded like a plane was about to hit the house. Patti ran to the window and outside she saw a large, orange, oval object with a double row of windows.<br /><br />Patti yelled to her cousin and they both watched the UFO flying toward the north, cross a road and then disappear. Both said that the object winked out and didn't fade into the distance. One second it was there and the next it was gone.<br /><br />The next morning, Warren Barr laughed at the girls' story. He was sure that they had seen an airplane or that it was a figment of their imagination. Out in the field, not far from the house, he stopped laughing. There he found a circular burn about 40 feet in diameter. All the soybeans in the burn were wilted, as if exposed to intense heat. Barr said that he had been in the field the evening before and had not seen anything strange.<br /><br />Investigators came to study the burn, take soil samples and interview the witnesses. Newsmen, along with the curious descended on the Barr farm and were so obnoxious that Barr refused to allow anyone near his daughter to discuss the sighting.<br /><br />The soil samples revealed almost nothing. They did show that lightning hadn't caused the burn and that an intense heat had been present for some seconds. No one had any ideas why the beans wilted and died or why they had only wilted in a circular pattern.<br /><br />Less than a month after the Barr sighting, a continuing series of landings were reported in northwestern Iowa. A farmer and his family, who wanted no publicity then or now, claimed that UFOs had landed on their farm several times.<br /><br />For about two years, the farmer had seen strange things hovering above the horizon. Some were red lights, seen to streak across the sky while others would stop briefly and then flash away. Many farmers in the small valley had seen the lights and not one believed that they had seen airplanes. The lights were seen in the worst weather, times when most pilots would be flying the coke machines at the airport waiting for the weather to clear. If any were airborne, they would certainly be flying at high altitudes, not the nape of the earth as the UFOs were reported to be doing.<br /><br />Finally, in the spring of 1969, one of the UFOs stopped close to the farm house. It was red, dome-topped and about 10 to 15 feet in diameter. The farmer's sons tried to get close but the UFO flashed a beam of red light at them. No one was hurt or burned, but everyone fled into the house.<br /><br />After that, landings became commonplace. The farmer's wife said that the objects usually landed about five p.m. but it wasn't a strict rule. "On one occasion," she said, "jets scared the UFO away." They were watching a hovering disc when military planes appeared overhead. The red glow faded until the planes were out of sight, then it brightened and disappeared.<br /><br />Like the Barr landing, there was physical evidence of the sightings. The farmer had pictures of landing sites that showed the circles of blown down grass and imprints of the landing gear. He said that the grass always grew back greener inside the circles. Maybe it was because the grass in the landing site was cleaned out and the new could grow better. He just didn't know.<br /><br />During the summer of 1969 and into the fall the sightings continued. The farm family began to keep notes about the UFOs activities. They even managed to take some pictures of it and once caught a glimpse of the small, humanoid occupants. By the spring of 1971 most of the sightings were over. In June, the farmer's wife said that it had been several months since they had seen a UFO.<br /><br />In July, 1972, Mervin Teig, a farmer near Story City, Iowa, found a strange, burned depression in one of his soybean fields. Looking at it he could see that there were four lines of wilted plants radiating outward like the spokes of a wheel. In the center of the depression the plants were dead and crumbling to dust.<br /><br />A local newspaper picked up the story and Teig was quickly bombarded with phone calls and visitors. One of the callers was Don Slaikeu of Goldfield, Iowa. He had found a shallow depression and burned area in one of his soybean fields. His description matched that given by Teig. The only noticeable difference was the orientation of the spoke-like lines. He found a strange grey dust inside the burn. Teig hadn't noticed any dust until Slaikeu brought it to his attention.<br /><br />Jerry Dean of Laurens, Iowa also called Teig and also claimed that he had found burned areas. There were two burns, each about 3 feet across but with wilted plants covering a much larger area. In the center of the largest burn was a hole two inches in diameter and three feet deep. The earth in the depression had been pressed as if by a large curved surface. He found the grey dust and it is believed that all four burns were related.<br /><br />At first no one could find any UFO sightings that were related to the burns. It seemed that something had sneaked into the fields, burned them and sneaked away. Dean's wife, however, said that she had been working in the kitchen in the early evening of July 6, when there was a sudden glow, the lights went out and there was a loud crash. A few minutes later, the lights came back on. It was the next day that her husband found the burns.<br /><br />Leslie Poling of Boone, Iowa also came to see the burn and reported the fifth depression. It was about the same size as those found on the other farms. Near the edge of the burn was an inclined hole, 22 inches deep with a smooth bottom as if something had been pushed into the ground at a shallow angle. Poling measured the depth with a yardstick and when he pulled it out, it was discolored for 22 inches. Spread throughout the site was more of the grey dust.<br /><br />The major problem with the cases were that they could not be linked to UFOs or any other phenomena. No one seemed to have heard or seen anything. Then, after Mrs. Dean reported the noise and lights, Mrs. Bole came forward with a story. She had only been asleep for a few hours when a crash woke her up. She lay awake listening for another sound but heard nothing. There were no strange lights and she thought that she had been awakened by a dream. When she tried to move she noticed a strange tingling throughout her body. The tingling frightened her, but strangely, she went back to sleep. (A possible abduction case.)<br /><br />A few hours later she awoke again, remembered the crash and the tingling. As she sat up, Mrs. Bole felt shaky and laid back down. After waking a third time, she got out of bed but still felt shaky. The next morning she remembered the incident as one might remember a dream and thought nothing more about it. At least not until talk of the strange burn was reported. Her bedroom is only 250 yards from the burn in Teig's field and it was found two days later.<br /><br />Another man from a western Iowa town not only saw a strange object land but saw the occupants as well. He was working in his cornfield when a flash of light caught his eye. In the distance he could see a silver sliver and thought it was an airplane. From time to time he looked at the plane and isn't sure when it struck him, but he suddenly realized that the plane had no wings. As he watched, the object grew in size, stopped over the field and he could see the definite egg shape.<br /><br />The UFO descended toward the field and just before it touched the ground, three legs "grew" from the bottom. A port opened near the bottom and "some people" got out. From 300 yards, the farmer couldn't see what they were doing but they walked around in the corn for several minutes. Soon they got back into the object and took off.<br /><br />As the UFO blasted off, a blue flame shot out of it and the legs retracted. There was a slight roar as the ship shot into the sky and disappeared quickly. The corn shocks in the area were blown around as if caught in an incredible whirlwind. No burn was left but the vegetation looked like a rotary lawn mower had blown it down.<br /><br />The creatures from the UFO were humanoid. The farmer thought they were wearing one piece "flying suits" and the clothes had a metallic sheen, but from 300 yards he couldn't be sure. He didn't see much detail and was afraid to try to get closer.<br /><br />For months after the sighting, the farmer kept quiet. He didn't want others to laugh at him or to think that he was crazy. Finally, after the series of landings in Iowa, the farmer told his brother, one of the men who reported a burned area, and the case eventually reached investigators. That he was afraid of ridicule and reluctant to talk of the sighting shows how public pressure can influence people.<br /><br />Iowa wasn't through with UFOs, however. A year later, almost to the day that the first landing was reported, Howard Groves found a burned area in his soybean field. He wasn't sure what it was or what to do, but remembered the burns from 1972 and went to call the Wright County Sheriff. Three of the 1972 burns had been in Wright County.<br /><br />Like several of those depressions, neither Groves nor any of his neighbors had seen or heard anything strange. The burned area was larger, almost 40 feet across but there was evidence of the radiating lines. In the center of the burn was a larger hole, about two feet in diameter and it was surrounded by four smaller holes. It looked like something with a four legged landing gear had touched down. When it took off, the blast from it caused the larger center hole. He said that he also found the grey dust.<br /><br />The Iowa landings differ from those in other parts of the world because they seem related. The size of the burns, the time they were found, the locations and the grey dust all suggest that they are related. All were found in July. It may have been July of different years, but it was July.<br /><br />More important that that is the grey dust. It was reported in all the landing sites except that of the Barr's. There it may have been overlooked. Samples of the dust were gathered in the rest of the sightings. In all cases it was the remains of the organic compounds after they had been subjected to intense heat. In other words, all the organic material was burned from the soil. Since the dust was found in all the depressions and because at least in one case, a UFO was seen, then it can be assumed that UFOs were in each of the fields before the burns were found.<br /><br />In addition to the grey dust, another discovery was made at the Clarion burn. Soon after it was found, the Wright Country Farm Agent went to the Grove's farm with his Geiger counter. There was no unusual radiation but he did find something else in the soil samples. All the phosphorus had been burned from the ground near the shallow hole. He couldn't explain why the phosphorus was gone and he didn't try to explain the burn.<br /><br />Samples of all the material, grey dust, soil and bean plants were sent to Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) scientific consultants for analysis. They confirmed that the burns were not the results of lightning strikes. The soil inside the burns showed an absence of fulgurites, which is the fusion of sand and is found in most lightning strikes. In fact, no fulgurites were found in any of the Iowa landings. Spectroscopic analysis and other tests revealed only that intense heat had been present for a short period of time. The depth of the burning extended only a few inches below the surface.<br /><br />Other explanations were tried but all fell short. None of the burned areas showed evidence of standing water that might have killed the plants. Chemical spills were ruled out because traces of the chemicals would have been found. The lack of certain expected chemicals, such as the missing phosphorus, added mystery to the cases. Hoaxes were ruled out for the same reason that chemical spills were dismissed. There would be traces of the chemicals used to produce the heat.<br /><br />Groves could not think of a way to burn such a large portion of his field. He claimed that after the discovery, he held a blowtorch on one of the bean plants. It took almost ten minutes of direct contact before a similar effect could be produced. Whatever it was, it had to be hotter than a blowtorch.<br /><br />But the sightings and burns aren't limited to Iowa. A few cases in other parts of the world have been linked to Iowa. In September, 1972, only eight weeks after Teig made the first report, an Australian farmer reported that he had found two burns on his land. The surface was burned clean and there were no signs of landing gear impressions. When he dug for samples, he found a strange, grey dust. The description of the dust and the circumstances surrounding its discovery were very similar to the Iowa cases. How many more such finds have been made with no reports being given?<br /><br />Iowa has had dozens of UFO reports in the last few months. Like other areas, they are only reported in the local newspapers and then are forgotten. Many states have had similar cases. The rest of the country thinks that flying saucer have disappeared with the Air Force investigation of them. That just is not true.<br />________<br /><br />Remember that was back in 1969 and 1972, what would they think today!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136382830550706926.post-50309234615088460972008-06-02T14:13:00.000-07:002008-06-02T14:16:31.864-07:00EARLY ABDUCTION EXPERIENCES LEAD TO INCREASED AWARENESSBy Ann Ulrich Miller<br />The Star Beacon<br /><br />Niara Isley is an artist,certified body-centered life coach and writer living in<br />Durango, Colo. She is also an experiencer andresearcher of extraterrestrial<br />phenomenon. “I feel like I’ve been in a process of spiritual inquiry since very young,” she disclosed recently in a radio interview with Dana Shino of The Purple Phoenix (www.thepurplephoenix.com). “The spiritual inquiry has formed a sort of ‘container’ that has helped me.”<br /><br />Niara was brought up in a dysfunctional home,<br />with an alcoholic father and a very codependent<br />mother.<br /><br />Early experiences as a child included a<br />nightmare when Niara was four years old. She woke<br />up screaming. In her dream, she remembered being<br />left under a street lamp. Her sister had left her there<br />and told her she’d pick her up later, but she didn’t.<br />“It was dark everywhere except under the street<br />lamp,” Niara said.<br /><br />It wasn’t until many years later, under regressive<br />hypnosis, that it came out as an abduction by<br />the Zeta Reticuli. Niara recalls saying in a child’s<br />voice under hypnosis, “Well, it’s nighttime and it’s<br />dark outside... but my bedroom is full of light.”<br />The beings, she said, were scary looking with<br />big heads, big eyes and spindly bodies. As a child<br />she had found their appearance frightening.<br />In her early childhood she had ongoing<br />abductee/contactee experiences with the Grays, and<br />as she grew older, her feeling was that the Zetas<br />were trying to save their race, and she felt that was a<br />valid concern for them in picking people up and<br />doing some of the things they have done.<br /><br />“One of the things the Zeta Reticulans are working<br />on is sexuality and sexual response,” Niara said.<br />"They’ve bred out all<br />emotion and the ability<br />to reproduce as<br />couples. They didn’t<br />want anything to do<br />with it because (long ago) their own passions<br />destroyed their world.”<br />She believes she was being used in sexual<br />experiments the Zetas conducted. Although hard for<br />her to talk about, she disclosed that it was very difficult<br />to realize just how much sexual stimulation was<br />given to her by the Zetas so that they could study<br />sexual response. “Sex feels wonderful, and when<br />you’re feeling those feelings, you want to surrender<br />to them. But when you’re with a being that is so far<br />from a human being... it doesn’t feel right. It was<br />really a difficult thing to feel the feelings with<br />beings that were not human beings.” She drew the<br />analogy of “pushing the accelerator” while at the<br />same time “stepping on the brakes.”<br /><br />Lacking both sexuality and emotion<br />Niara found that the Zetas “use the means at<br />their disposal to study human sexual function and<br />response. Under hypnosis, I experienced a clear liquid<br />or gel applied to my genitals as a very young<br />girl, arousing sexual feelings in me that at the time I<br />was not prepared for, both pleasurable and frightening.<br />I read about this clear liquid or gel in a book as<br />an adult years later, cited by another experiencer.<br />The Zetas did not appear to me to have any sexuality<br />or much in the way of emotions.”<br /><br />Later on in life, physical evidence emerged<br />from visiting doctors. Every time Niara went in for a<br />pelvic exam or pap test, she was told her uterus was<br />enlarged. The doctors wanted to know if she was<br />pregnant. She would explain that no, that wasn’t<br />possible as she hadn’t been with anybody. A couple<br />of times, she said, they ran pregnancy tests just to be<br />sure. “It was frustrating to hear this every time I got<br />near a doctor,” she commented. She feels she may<br />have been pregnant many times during her childbearing<br />years and that the fetuses were harvested<br />from the womb by the Zetas through a needle<br />through her belly button.<br /><br />At one point she went in for a tubal ligation<br />and, under general anesthetic, when she was opened<br />up, she was still awake, and the doctor said her<br />abdominal cavity was full of adhesions. To her<br />knowledge, she hadn’t had any other procedures<br />done. The Zetas had been harvesting fetuses all<br />along through the needle in her navel.<br />Niara spoke a bit about hypnosis as a tool for<br />retrieving lost memories. She said it is important to<br />find a skilled facilitator who doesn’t ask<br />leading questions. Hypnosis has been<br />effective as evidence in a court of law.<br />More recent development has given it<br />less credibility because of “false memory<br />syndrome.” But upon investigation, she found that<br />people with connections to the CIA were on the<br />board who decided this, and it was due to so many<br />embarrassing and damaging memories people were<br />coming out with against the government, so they had<br />to try and discredit any memories brought forward.<br />Involvement between the Grays<br />and our government.<br /><br />Niara recommends that interested readers listen to<br />Alfred Labramont Weber’s talk on the Exopolitics<br />Web site (www.exopoliticsradio.com/audioarchives.html).<br />It discusses former President Eisenhower’s meeting<br />with ETs, which was covered in the December 2006<br />issue of The Star Beacon (“Ike and the Alien Ambassadors”<br />by Peter Carlson, The Washington Post).<br />Niara had a science background and entered the<br />Air Force as an electronics person. She believes the<br />government or military knew she was an abductee,<br />which predisposed her into being pulled into certain<br />things that happened to her in the military.<br />“Dan Sherman, author of Above Black: Project<br />Destiny, was inducted into a special intuitive communicator<br />program because the military knew he<br />(and a superior told him so when drafting him for<br />the program) was specially adjusted by ETs while in<br />the womb, making him a candidate with the special<br />skill and talent to be an intuitive communicator. In<br />this program, Sherman communicated telepathically<br />with ETs providing information to the military.”<br /><br />She believes that a technology exchange<br />occurred between the Grays and our government.<br />“Zeta Reticulans can pick people up throughout the<br />population, at will, for their genetic experiments,”<br />she said. Also she believes that name swapping was<br />going back and forth, which predisposed her.<br />In the Air Force, Niara went into radar electronics,<br />working with auto-track radar, which is war-time<br />surface-to-air missile or anti-aircraft artillery radar.<br />“My first duty station in the Air Force was at<br />Nellis Air Force Base at North Las Vegas, Nevada,<br />working every other week out of Tonopah Electronic<br />Warfare Range for the first three months there,” she<br />explained. But 10 years later, she remembered that<br />during her entire time at Tonopah (in 1980), she only<br />had the most general memories of being there. “I<br />knew I worked there, but didn’t remember the people<br />I worked with, or where I slept at night. Hardly any<br />details whatsoever.” She basically had missing time<br />for three months out of her life.<br /><br />An event wiped from memory<br /><br />Through hypnosis with Budd Hopkins in 1994,<br />she discovered the following story: “I was standing<br />on the deck of the radar van in the middle of the<br />night, seeing saucer-shaped craft in the sky. We had<br />tried to track them earlier while inside the radar van,<br />but they could not be tracked.” Everyone was<br />dressed in fatigues, with no rank or insignia, and<br />they were warned not to speak to each other. “Up in<br />the sky there were at least nine saucer-shaped craft,<br />one so close that I could see it glowing orange on<br />the bottom.” She remembers feeling so scared,<br />because she thought she was seeing something that<br />was way above her security clearance.<br /><br />A short time afterwards, Niara and the people<br />she was with were put on a bus and taken to a medical<br />facility, which she believes was probably Area<br />51. She can’t think of any other facility they would<br />have been taken to. “We were put in a waiting room,<br />in chairs that ran diagonally from one corner to the<br />other, with backs to the hallway with double doors<br />and lights from the hallway, but no lights in the waiting<br />room.” Then, one by one, they were called into a<br />little room.<br /><br />She got called and was told to go in. There was<br />a guard with a sidearm standing there. She was told<br />to lie down on a stainless steel table. She was fully<br />clothed and laid there for a long while, feeling<br />scared. Finally, a man came in wearing a white lab<br />coat. He walked past the guard and up around the<br />table and kept saying to her in a deadpan voice,<br />“Stay calm, stay calm, stay calm.”<br />“When he got up on the right side of my head,<br />he then injected my neck with a hypodermic needle,”<br />she revealed. And at that point in the regression<br />session, Niara spontaneously came out of hypnosis<br />and sat bolt upright on the couch with an excruciating<br />headache that lasted for three days.<br /><br />The information that came to Niara during that<br />session prompted her journey to understand it. “This<br />plunged me into a completely different world than<br />the one I had supposed I grew up being part of,” she<br />wrote in her January 2008 essay, “Exopolitics Comes<br />of Age” (found on her Web site, http://<br />durangoexopolitics.blogspot.com). “I have delved<br />into this, feared the ridicule myself and, because<br />there was so much I couldn’t get answers to, tried to<br />push it out of my life.”<br /><br />Finally, she had to undertake the healing journey<br />that allowed her to integrate her experiences productively<br />into the whole of her life. “I have resisted coming<br />forward as yet another ‘voice in the wilderness’<br />for a long time,” she proclaims, “and yet, now it<br />seems to be necessary, and my journey has well equipped<br />me to present what I feel I have to offer on<br />this subject, from a place of heart and conscience.”<br /><br />Niara feels there is absolutely nothing to be<br />feared of these extraterrestrials who are visiting us.<br />“Their technology can help us.” The beings are here,<br />visiting the planet, and they are interdimensional.<br />2012 is coming up, and the shift in evolutionary consciousness<br />will take us into the 5th dimension and<br />“enlightenment of the entire human race.”<br /><br />Once a month Niara hosts a group of locals in<br />the Durango area and they share information and<br />films on the subject of UFOs and extraterrestrials.<br />She notes that sightings have increased exponentially<br />on a global basis, and that people need to be prepared<br />for open contact.<br /><br />Niara’s blog at http://durangoexopolics.blogspot.<br />com, was initiated to share news of exopolitical<br />events and ET disclosures, because “while I heartily<br />applaud all the groups worldwide coming forward to<br />address this issue, I feel that a huge piece is being<br />left out — extraterrestrial technology that our government<br />has had since the Roswell crash and perhaps<br />much more, as research in this area bears out. This<br />technology could hold important keys to solving our<br />current and expanding environmental crisis by providing<br />clean, free energy and removing the need for<br />dangerous and polluting sources of energy — oil,<br />coal and nuclear energy.<br /><br />“And if extraterrestrial technology, and perhaps<br />even open contact with ETs themselves, can help us<br />avert a global environmental crisis — if it can help<br />humanity survive, thrive, and have the chance to<br />evolve into the beautiful and magnificent potential I<br />believe we as a species have, my time working to<br />bring it into the mainstream public domain is time<br />very well spent.”<br /><br />As a certified Body Center Life Coach, Niara<br />focuses on feelings in the body for healing purposes,<br />and accepts donations for her work.

Pavlodar region, Kazakhstan<br /><br />Date: January 5 2008 Time: early morning<br /><br />An unidentified flying object might have fallen in the Belaya River in the May district in the Pavlodar region, northern Kazakhstan. A source with the regional emergency situations department told Interfax referring to an eye witness. The chief of the local police department saw a shining flying object falling in the river in the early hours, the source said, adding that the policeman “reported about it to higher authorities.” According to the emergency situations department, divers examined a 15 meter air hole in the ice and officers of the local sanitary and epidemic office took water samples. “Divers plunged four times, but no objects were found. Water samples are normal,” the department said. A local Ufologist, Lyubov Rybalko stated that it was possible that a UFO had splashed down in the Belaya River and then left. <br /><br />HC addendum<br /><br />Source: http://www.interfax.ru <br /> <br /><br />5.<br /><br />Location. Malta, Illinois<br /><br />Date: January 7 2008 Time: late night<br /><br />The witness (involved in other sightings) woke up feeling a sharp stabbing pain in her finger. A figure about five feet, three inches tall was standing right next to her. The entity had a syringe like implement and needle and was taking blood from the finger. It was light enough in her room that she could completely see all that the entity was doing. The entity was gray in color, with a large head and large black eyes, and his mouth was wide open, breathing. It had black gums and no teeth and the first thing the witness noticed was the awful smell of the entity’s breath. After taking the syringe full of blood, he quickly walked away from her and right through the closed window. The witness says she was not paralyzed during the encounter. A few nights before this encounter she had found herself levitating above her bed and before has had strange needle marks on her stomach and arms. <br /><br />HC addendum<br /><br />Source: http://ufocasebook.conforums.com/index <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br />6.<br /><br />Location. Suurbraak, near Swellendam, Western Cape, South Africa<br /><br />Date: January 10 2008 Time: 2330<br /><br />A group of friends enjoying a ‘braai’ on the banks of the Buffelsjags River have reported spotting a legendary mermaid-like creature, known locally as the Kaaiman. Local resident Daniel Cupido said he and a group of friends were relaxing next to the river last weekend when he heard something which sounded like someone “bashing on a wall.” Cupido walked toward the sound. At a nearby low water bridge, he said he saw a figure, “like that of a white woman with long black hair thrashing about in the water”. Thinking to save her, he waded toward her, but said he stopped in his tracks when he noticed a reddish shine in her eyes. The sight sent “shivers” down his spine, yet he was pulled forward as if hypnotized. He called for his child, Deidrian, 13 and his nephew, Werner Plaatjies, 11, to help him, breaking his trance. He then shouted to his friends to take a look as well. Martin Olckers said he saw a female figure swimming, first on one side of the low water bridge, then on the other, and then standing on the bridge before diving back into the black water. He said the figure made the “strangest sound” like a woman crying. His mother, Dina, said the figure sounded so sorrowful, “my heart could take it no more”. Her husband Martinus said their parents had warned them about the Kaaiman but they never believed it existed. Some people believe that the Kaaiman is responsible for drownings. <br /><br />HC addendum<br /><br />Source: Aldo Pekeur Herald Correspondent January 15 2008<br /><br />http://www.theherald.co.za/herald/news/n02_15012008.htm <br /><br />Comments: Mermaid like creatures have been reported in South Africa before. <br /> <br /><br />7.<br /><br />Location. West of Homestead, Florida<br /><br />Date: January 13 2008 Time: 1630<br /><br />A couple was driving in far western Dade County in the rural areas where strawberries and tomatoes are grown. They were looking at the last field, a 4 or 5 acre patch of planted strawberries, with a small house and barn towards the back, and beyond that the Everglades. They pulled to the side of the road to observe a bright light that was approaching silently from the WNW. It was very bright. It finally came to a stop and hovered over the farm house. With a sharp hissing noise, a beam of light shone directly on the roof of the house for a few seconds, and then disappeared. At this point, once their eyes had adjusted to the intense glare, they could see black spots (maybe windows?) along the widest point of the oval. Suddenly there was a strange distortion developing in the sky over the house as the object became darker and appeared to shrink in on itself. It was a kind of swirling distortion that appeared to increase in size and seemed even to distort the sunlight and clouds as it did, and the object became even darker and smaller. Then there was an audible, low pitched popping sound, almost like one can make by pulling a finger out of one’s puckered mouth and the object disappeared altogether. The distortion effect subsided, and then disappeared after a few seconds more. They then approached the house by passing through the gate and going up the driveway, and detected a strong smell of ozone, like from a strong electrical gadget, as well as an organic kind of repugnant odor. They looked up at one of the windows and saw a grayish reptilian being staring at them. Terrified they made a U-turn right through a flower field and left the area. <br /><br />HC addendum<br /><br />Source: http://www.skyscan.org/BHill.htm <br /> <br /><br />8.<br /><br />Location. St Louis, Missouri<br /><br />Date: January 15 2008 Time: 2300<br /><br />The witness was walking his dog on his late night jog when all of the sudden he saw a large circular object overhead. He ignored it at first and just kept walking when it suddenly swooped down and landed about ½ mile in front of the witness. The witness kept walking and got up to it. The object was about 50 yards across. The witness claims he was just going to walk by it when he was suddenly “sucked in”. Undescribed beings reportedly “probed” the witness and his dogs with “sticks” and red probes. He then apparently blacked out. His next memory was of walking back home, the object gone. It was now only 2305 but it had seemed like hours to the witness. <br /><br />HC addendum<br /><br />Source: NUFORC <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> Your browser may not support display of this image.<br /><br />9.<br /><br />Location. Near Chattanooga, Tennessee<br /><br />Date: January 20 2008 Time: 0500am-0600am<br /><br />The witness woke up to see a black figure standing next to his bed, about 5foot 5inches tall. The witness was apparently able to see through the black figure, which was human in shape. He could not see any real features, like a face, but it had legs, arms, hands, neck and a head. It touched the witness but he is not sure where. Several seconds later the witness fell back to sleep and did not see the figure depart. <br /><br />HC addendum<br /><br />Source: http://mufoncms.comUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136382830550706926.post-53932515486114225612008-02-03T06:29:00.000-08:002008-02-03T06:34:42.421-08:00JANUARY REPORTS FROM HUMANOID CONTACTSThanks to Albert Rosales for these reports<br /><br />Location. Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia<br /><br />Date: January 2008 Time: 2000-2100<br /><br />The witness, L. Davis, (involved in other encounters) reported encountering a medium height dull darkish gray creature glide from the lounge to the bathroom in her mother’s house. She saw only its side and only from the mid chest up and only for a moment. She said that it was not a “friendly” being and began to become aggressive once it had been spotted. It continually made its presence felt at times and remained in the house for about 3 days and then it was gone. The witness claims she had been 5 months pregnant at the time but the baby or fetus disappeared. She remembers having a very odd “dream” where she gave birth in an open paddock on a medical table during the day. There were many strange human-like people around. They took the baby girl away for some time and then let the witness nurse her and then took her away again. She didn’t realize that there was something wrong until a few days later. <br /><br />HC addendum<br /><br />Source: http://www.iwasabducted.com/ufoboard <br /> <br /><br />2.<br /><br />Location. Seattle, Washington<br /><br />Date: January 3 2008 Time: 1500<br /><br />A husband and wife had been falling asleep on the sofa bed in their living room when the husband woke up and looked at the VCR which read 1441. There was an odd buzzing noise and a strange light pattern on the ceiling above them. He then heard scuffling sounds in the kitchen behind his head and became intensely afraid. Just as he was about to investigate, three distinct figures with huge heads and small bodies “glided” into the room. The room was dark but he could plainly see that they were not human. There is a light from the street that comes in enough to where he was able to make out a face. The creatures were wearing dark coveralls that were tight and showed off their skinny bodies. They also wore masks of some kind and he could see as far as faces was their huge black eyes surrounded by patches of light skin in the eye slits of the masks. Their belt lines were about level with the bed so he guessed they were about 4’ tall. The witness was convinced that he was not asleep or dreaming. He was immediately terrified out of his mind and tried to scream but could not even move. One of the creatures stood at the foot of the bed and the other two were on his side. His wife remained sleeping. The creatures were making strange noises as if breathing through ventilators; he could also hear mechanical sounds. Almost immediately he was lifted into the air a foot or two from the bed, as if by magic. He could still feel the skin of his wife’s shoulder under his hand and the blanket on top of them as well as open space and cool air below. He sensed movement all around and the room seemed to wobble and spatially distort. He attempted to kick at them but could not move, so he tried to lean from side to side in the air. He called out mentally for God and Jesus Christ to save him and instantly he was back on the bed and the beings and the strange glow were gone. The witness is convinced that divine intervention saved him from the creatures. <br /><br />HC addendum<br /><br />Source: NUFORC <br /> <br /><br />3.<br /><br />Location. Texas, exact location not given<br /><br />Date: January 5 2008 Time: 0600am<br /><br />The witness woke up at 0600am because he had to be at his son’s house at 700am to take his dogs to the vet. He remembers feeling a bit shaken about what he had just “dreamed”. He had never experienced it before. He dreamt that he was standing on the bottom of the ocean with 2 men who looked like normal human men. He couldn’t figure out why he could still breathe air normally as he was on land. The men also breathe normally. He didn’t feel the water or any other pressure surrounding his body and was somewhat afraid because he knew that he needed scuba gear to go into the ocean. However the men made him feel safe, they hold him (in his mind) that they were 4,700ft below the ocean on the floor. It was dark except for the light that came from the immediate area where the men and the witness were. <span style="font-weight:bold;">One of the men handed him an almost perfect circle that was light green with an indentation in the center. It had a blue ring that hugged the circle or almost circle because it had a straight end to it, resembling the round weights used on a bench press bar. The man told him, “This is argon. Take this to your scientist. It will provide energy to light cities for 1000 years. The use of argon for energy will save the planet’s resources”.</span> He took the circle in his hands and began to go up but became afraid and let it go saying to the man, “if I go up too fast I’ll get the bends." He said to the witness, "Don’t be afraid, you will go to the surface slowly." When he surfaced he saw a city with a lot of industrial buildings. It was difficult to describe it because he felt displaced. The surface of the water was dark. He saw himself taking the object to a scientist who asked him “Where did you get this." He woke up at this point. <br /><br />HC addendum<br /><br />Source: http://mufoncms.comUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136382830550706926.post-23755570738982345382008-02-02T07:29:00.000-08:002008-02-02T07:30:30.863-08:00JAPAN INTERESTED IN UFO SIGHTINGBy ANGELIA JOINER <br /><br />Steve Allen is haggard.<br /><br />He's hardly sleeping and his mug is becoming familiar on news programs all over the world.<br /><br />Still, he's not given up on his quest for video or photos of what he says was an unidentified flying object he saw with friends on the evening of Jan. 8.<br /><br />The sighting was so odd it defies explanation, and he's been heard to say over and over, “It definitely wasn't from these parts. The military only wishes they had something like that.”<br /><br />“Videos are starting to come out,” Allen said. “I've gotten about ten but only two are worth anything.”<br /><br />Allen said the video aired by Channel 11 News Wednesday night is “just a snippet” of the 14 minute film he now has in his possession from a source not wishing to be identified, and it comes closest to being what he, Lance Jones, and Mike and Claudette Odom saw on that life changing night.<br /><br />“It's not exactly what we saw, but it was changing shapes,” Allen said. “I think this is it.”<br /><br />He is receiving phone calls and e-mails from all over the globe. Allen said he can hardly run his businesses because of the international interest in the sighting. He said all he wants is to get to the bottom of it - he wants to know where it came from - and exactly what the government knows about it.<br /><br />“Tokyo is very interested in interviewing all of the witnesses,” Allen said after he received a call from a news source in Japan. “They are interested in purchasing the video. I expect a plane load of them over very soon. The Japanese say all of the countries are trying to get together a consortium of countries documenting UFOs and paranormal activities. Mexico recently released film of F-16s in pursuit of a UFO. Everybody is beginning to open their books and disclose to the public except for the U.S. And I have a message for Mr. Bush, ‘Please Mr. Bush, the jig is up - the cat's out of the bag - tell us what is going on.'”<br /><br />Angelia Joiner is a staff writer for the Empire-Tribune.
