Perhaps this is why UFO's don't contact us.

Noble Savages indeed!

My Strange Experience #4

I was 18 years old and recently graduated from high school. I had enlisted in the U.S. Navy and was scheduled to go to boot camp in late August. Being bored, I went to the employment office and found a summer job at a ranch about 15 miles outside of town.

The owner picked me up at the employment office and had me shovel manure all day in the barn. At the end of the working day they fed me a great dinner and gave me a room to sleep in. But I didn't like the job so I wrote a note to the rancher thanking him for the job and told him I was quitting.

Then I started walking home sometime around about 10 or 11 that night. There was a gravel road for about 5 miles and then a paved road (where I intended to hitch a ride home) for the remaining 10 miles into town. I had walked about 2 or 3 miles on the gravel road when I became aware of someone or something walking in front of me.

It was very dark and visibility was only about 20 feet. My first thought was that a cow or horse was walking in front of me. But when I stopped to urinate the sounds ahead of me also stopped. I finished urinating and continued walking, and the sounds of something walking ahead of me also resumed.

So I increased my walking pace to catch up with my "companion" but it also speeded up. I did a sudden stop again to listen and the sounds of my companion also stopped. At this point chills began running through my body and the hair on my arms began standing up.

I was frightened and briefly considered running back to the ranch house. But I was over half way to the paved road. Bravely, I decided to find out what the hell was walking in front of me. I began running as fast as I could towards my companion.

Within seconds, I saw a figure ahead of me. When it became aware that I was running towards it, the creature swiftly ran to the left and went under the lowest strand of barbed wire (about 18 inches off the ground) and disappeared into the darkness. The barbed wire was still humming when I reached the point where the "thing" went under the fence.

I was really frightened now and continued running until I reached the paved road and hitched a ride into town. The "thing" I saw was about 3 to 4 feet in height. It ran upright on two legs. It had long pointed ears. Strangely enough, it looked exactly like a rabbit running upright on its hind legs.

During the next few days I spent several hours at the library researching rabbits. I couldn't find any that matched the size of the one I encountered that night.

What do Aliens want?

I think the stupidest, dumbest, most idiotic explanation was some moonbat who answered....

"Compassion."

Sorry, but somehow I don't think that Occam's Razor applies here.

Stephenville, Texas UFO

According to this story FAA radar tracked a large object at 700 mph without a transponder during the UFO flap in January.

The MUFON report’s closest approximation of a smoking gun was buried in the tenth graph of the AP piece. MUFON’s Freedom of Information Act queries produced Federal Aviation Administration documents indicating its radar tracked a large object zipping along at 700 mph at 6:35 p.m. on January 8. More ominously in this post-9/11 era, the blip had no transponder.

“Apparently, there was a phenomenon of some sort going on,” says Cherry. “There have always been significant military bases in this area, so the folks who live out there are used to seeing military aircraft. They’re not suddently going to start misidentifying military jets as UFOs.

“The timing (of the radar hit) is important because it comes within 10 minutes of when (freight company operator/pilot Steve Allen) said he first saw it,” Cherry says. Allen described an object of nearly mile long and half a mile wide.

Sadly, this information will soon be consigned to the memory hole that only a few researchers will dwell upon sometime in the future. The American people are already moving on to Sex and the City and Indiana Jones at the cinema.

Eventually someone will theorize that an Air Force jet simply forgot to turn on its transponder and almost everyone else will have moved on to more enlightening pursuits. Onward to the New World Order! Kumbaya, anyone?

UFO Video

It's been said that a sucker is born every minute. This story is about a charlatan looking for a multitude of suckers to fleece.

"A video that purportedly shows a living, breathing space alien will be shown to the news media Friday in Denver."

"Jeff Peckman, who is pushing a ballot initiative to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in Denver to prepare the city for close encounters of the alien kind, said the video is authentic and convinced him that aliens exist."

I'm sure the quality of the video will be comparable to the infamous alien autopsy film of a few years ago. But we mustn't criticize too harshly, a man has to feed his family somehow.

Animal Mutilations

Here we go again. Another case of predators attacking livestock. And when I use the word predator I'm not referring to the four-legged kind.

There have been many instances of mutilations to livestock across North America, and in most cases it involves the removal of one or both eyes, the tongue, internal and sexual organs. The most recent reported case in Saskatchewan was earlier this month on a farm near Stockholm.

The first thing that struck Campbell at the scene of the dead buffalo was the absence of any footprints, tire tracks, or animal tracks leading to or from the carcass. There was also no blood evident and the buffalo’s wounds were surgical in their precision, leading Campbell to rule out the possibility that this was done by animals.

For Campbell, the most plausible theory is that mutilations are the work of alien species, albeit ones whose motivations are open to speculation. One possible explanation is that the aliens are doing something similar to a safari, coming to Earth to steal body parts from animals which may have some value to them.

“We have hunters here which go on safaris and all they want to do is kill an animal for a horn ... what if this is some sort of exotic thing for an alien?” she said. “They’ve got to come down and grab an ear, a tongue, a cheek, a muscle, a sex organ – maybe they have a fetish … I don’t know.”

“There doesn’t seem to be any interest from the medical community here in Saskatchewan,” she said. “I’ve approach the college (of veterinarians) for help and assistance, but they do not seem to have any interest in this type of research whatsoever.”

It's a shame that so-called "scientists" ignore this phenomenom. Sure I can understand their fear of losing their reputations but their stated goals of advancing mankind's knowledge is hardly reconcilable by cases like this.

Cowards.

Universe is doughnut shaped?

I've always wondered - if the universe is expanding - just exactly what it is expanding into. What's on the other side? Are we expanding into another universe that is contracting? Are there multiple universes that are expanding and contracting at various stages?

This story doesn't answer that question but it does offer a new perspective on our little home in the Cosmos.

"The idea that the universe is finite and relatively small, rather than infinitely large, first became popular in 2003, when cosmologists noticed unexpected patterns in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) – the relic radiation left behind by the Big Bang."

My question still remains.... If the universe is doughnut shaped what lies beyond the other side? Other universes?

Best UFO pictures ever taken?

Some are pretty terrible, most are questionable, a few are believable.

You be the judge.

Mars Lander
NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander is scheduled to touch down on the Red Planet on Sunday, May 25. The spacecraft is destined for the Martian arctic, and while NASA has done it before, it's not going to be an easy ride. See animated video here.

Man talks to Aliens

Oh, and he also killed his girlfriend.

Way to go, dipshit.

Crop Circles

Okay, just when I have decided that crop circles were, perhaps, man-made after all, this story comes along....

"During the night of 13-14 May 2008, three large circles appeared in a wheat field at Nieuw-Vennep, very close to Schiphol airport in the Netherlands. The owners of the field heard nothing. Their dogs didn't bark, their horses and graze remained calm. Yet, in the early morning hours and to his astonishment, the farmer found the fresh circles in the field right behind their house."

"I feel it is almost impossible to provide a clear image of what I saw. First of all, as mentioned above, the majority of the plants in all three circles had been badly scorched, burnt, or even entirely turned to black dust."

Come on, boys and girls, this is not the work of the jolly fellows down at the local tavern. This is something entirely alien to our feeble comprehension. That is unless you believe the jolly fellows are using blowtorches along with their boards and ropes.

Crop circles are a fecund area for research. Unlike UFO sightings, evidence is plentiful at crop circle sites. The only drawback is our ability or desire to interpret the evidence.

And the people who actually seek to explain crop circles, like Linda Moulton Howe, are denigrated and ridiculed by those who know best. You know who you are.

My Strange Experience #3

During the summer recess between my freshman and sophomore years in high school, I got into the habit of staying up late and reading. I was fifteen years old.

I always sat at the end of a couch near a window and lamp. My mom always closed the curtains at night but left the windows open to allow the cool summer air to come in.

Over a two or three week period, I gradually became aware of someone or something standing outside the window each night. At first I thought it was the neighborhood dogs prowling around and paid no attention to the noises. Gradually I became aware that it was the sounds of a subtle shifting of feet on the gravel directly outside and below the window where I was sitting.

Eventually I decided that no animal would return to the same spot night after night and make noises like that. And I doubt that a peeping tom or sexual pervert would return night after night since I never opened the curtains or even made any noise at all. A peeping tom or sexual pervert would have grown bored and moved on to "fleshier" pastures.

I eventually formed the impression that it was caused by someone or something with little weight, and having a short stature. I distinctly remember thinking that it was a kid or someone similar in size. Back in those days kids didn't stay out until 1 or 2 o'clock at night. At least not in my small home town. And certainly not over the entire summer.

Whatever it was, I still have the impression that the sounds were made intentionally in order to get my attention. As if it were daring me to open the curtains. For what, I have no idea.

Fermi Paradox

The Fermi Paradox, pondering the apparent lack of intelligent life in the universe, gently asks, "Where is everybody?"

A guileless, humble, politically incorrect soul might answer, "They are all out there, in the millions of planets, but they are all poor Communists and don't have the wherewithal to build a decent radio set."

For a more orthodox explanation of the Fermi Paradox, go here

Meteor hitting the Moon

Here's a short, repeating video (actually a *gif* file) of a meteor striking the moon.

UFO sighting in Texas

The UFO sightings near Stephenville, Texas are beginning to fade from our collective memory. Remember the O'Hare sightings? A few of us do.

"Cherry said the witnesses are very credible and difficult to ignore. He said three police officers, who do not want to come forward publicly, also reported seeing light patterns in the sky."

"One was close enough to it to use his radar gun to track the thing," he said. "It moved away at 27 miles per hour and then vanished."

It must have been Venus. Or perhaps swamp gas. Or perhaps those ubiquitous weather balloons. It just has to be! Whatever on Earth could it be?

Quantum Mechanics

Okay, I was just beginning to understand the esoteric mysteries of quantum mechanics when out of nowhere comes this story...

"The question of whether quantum mechanics is correct could soon be settled by observing the sky — and there are already tantalizing hints that the theory could be wrong."

Now if only someone would admit that multiculturism is a bad idea too.

Somehow I get the feeling this guy really is from outer space

They're Back...

Once in a while the mainstream takes notice of something that doesn't fit into our concepts of reality.

They are back....

A macabre mystery that pops up around the world has surfaced once again on a secluded Saskatchewan farm.

"The most recent case of cattle mutilation occurred in the Stockholm area, just yards away from where Heather Harris and her husband slept. Harris was out tending the cattle the next day when she made the grisly discovery."

What's amazing about this story is a veterinarian (rather than the usual drunk, hillbilly, hayseed suspects) doubts the old "scavenger" story.

"Francis discounted predators as a possible cause of the cow's death, noting there were no bites or claw marks on the carcass. She said the bloodless wounds could mean some kind of electric cautery unit was involved."

We're making progress, folks.

Einstein

According to a recent news report,

"Albert Einstein described belief in God as 'childish superstition' and said Jews were not the chosen people, in a letter to be sold in London this week, an auctioneer said Tuesday."

And contrast that with this,

"Previously the great scientist's comments on religion -- such as 'Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind' -- have been the subject of much debate, used notably to back up arguments in favour of faith."

My level of respect for Mr. Einstein just dropped several notches. How can someone make comments that are relatively opposite in meaning? Either the second statement was misquoted or he changed his views as he aged.

Or, perhaps, would you bet that he is just another crackpot who made some admirable advances in his youth and then slowly declined into a mellow alzheimers fog? Place your bets.

My Strange Experience #2

Several years ago I was looking for arrowheads on a friend's ranch in south Texas. It was hot and sunny on a Sunday morning. I had been given permission to go to the ranch at any time I chose and had been given a key to the gates.

I worked my way up to an earthen wall that formed one side of a stock pond that ranchers build to water their livestock and to provide private fishing holes.
The wall was about 10 feet from the bottom to the top and was about 300 feet long. The top was flat and about 4 or 5 feet wide. I walked the entire length of the wall on the water side of the wall, glancing left and right as I slowly worked my way to the end. I saw nothing of interest.

I turned and began working my way back to my starting point, walking this time on the opposite side of the wall's top, away from the water. About one third of the way back I immediately noticed a beautiful 4 inch-long arrowhead lying directly in the center of the wall's flat surface. I saw it from about 10 feet away.

It was not partially embedded in the soil like most arrowheads. It was lying there as if someone had ran out of the brush surrounding the pond after I had walked by and placed it on the ground so that I would find it. I was flabbergasted. I had walked by the very spot just a few moments before and could not have possibly missed it. No way in hell could I have missed it the first time.

There was no one else on the ranch at the time because the owners lived in a nearby town. I first thought that someone was baiting me, but I had walked aimlessly for at least a half mile before I came upon the stock pond. And it was pure chance that I turned around and walked back the way I had come. A strange feeling of dread overcame me and I immediately walked back to my car and left the ranch. I never went back alone after that.

Space Predictions by Experts

"Space travel is utter bilge."
-- Richard Van Der Riet Woolley, upon assuming the post of Astronomer Royal in 1956.

"Space travel is bunk."
-- Sir Harold Spencer Jones, Astronomer Royal of the UK, 1957 (two weeks later Sputnik orbited the Earth).

"To place a man in a multi-stage rocket and project him into the controlling gravitational field of the moon where the passengers can make scientific observations, perhaps land alive, and then return to earth - all that constitutes a wild dream worthy of Jules Verne. I am bold enough to say that such a man-made voyage will never occur regardless of all future advances."
-- Lee DeForest, American radio pioneer and inventor of the vacuum tube, in 1926.

"We stand on the threshold of rocket mail."
-- U.S. postmaster general Arthur Summerfield, in 1959.

"... too far-fetched to be considered."
-- Editor of Scientific American, in a letter to Robert Goddard about Goddard's idea of a rocket-accelerated airplane bomb, 1940 (German V2 missiles came down on London 3 years later).

"A rocket will never be able to leave the Earth's atmosphere."
-- New York Times, 1936.

So what's the moral of the story? Never trust the experts to say anything more that what the majority hasn't already given its approval of.

Platypus

This creature, considered one of the strangest mammals in the world, has become the latest to have its genetic code sequenced, revealing it to be a bizarre mix of mammal, bird and reptile, with very complex sexuality. For the complete story, go here.

Meanwhile, we've all heard of the 'myths' about unicorns, griffins, minotaurs and other strange creatures that were supposedly roaming the Earth back in prehistory. But perhaps they were real animals, the result of genetic experiments by our alien creators. And perhaps the platypus is a living reminder or relic of those ancient times.

Zecharia Sitchin and Lloyd Pye suggest in their writings that this is a distinct possibility.

UFO Crash

This story about a newly published book on a UFO crash just south of Texas in Mexico is so full of holes and distortions it makes one wonder about military officers in general if it is true.

Somebody is trying to start a new Roswell myth.

I smell money in the air....

UFOs and TV couch potatoes

I'm often told by friends that I'm crazy for believing in UFOs. Only lunatics and rednecks from the hills would believe that stuff. Only someone who imbibes too much alcohol or one who smokes too much whacky tobaccy would make such a claim.

Besides, they say, "I've never seen anything like that."

Of course when I mention that it's pretty hard to ever see much of anything out of the ordinary since they spend almost all their waking hours either working or sitting on the couch watching TV.

Now you know why I have so few friends. Ha.

It's always the couch potatoes who are the most skeptical. Them and the over-educated boobs from academia.

Amen

UFOs or Angels?

Interesting photos here of a UFO between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.

I'm sure that some moron will say it is Venus or swamp gas though.

Gaia Hypothesis

According to Wikipedia, "the Gaia hypothesis is an ecological hypothesis that proposes that living and nonliving parts of the earth are a complex interacting system that can be thought of as a single organism. Named after the Greek earth goddess, this hypothesis postulates that all living things have a regulatory effect on the Earth's environment that promotes life overall."

At first glance the normal response to this hypothesis is, "yeah, right, and I suppose you believe in UFOs too."

There are aspects of the hypothesis that scream out at those who look a little deeper. For instance, the salinity of our oceans has remained fairly constant at 3.4% for hundreds and hundreds of years. Our atmosphere also has a fairly constant composition of 79% nitrogen, 20.7% oxygen, and 0.03% carbon dioxide. And the global surface temperature of the Earth has remained fairly constant, despite an increase in the energy provided by the Sun.
Could the Earth be a living organism, a sentient being?

UFO Pilgrim thinks not, but you be the judge.

Non-UFO post

I find it odd that the anti-war crowd decries the death of 4000 American soldiers in five years of combat but have no comment on situations like Saturday's cyclone in Myanmar where "almost 4,000 people were killed and nearly 3,000 others are unaccounted for." And some predict the total will exceed 10,000 poor souls.

In one day. Priorities. Mercy.

Update #1 - death toll now 22,000

Update #2 - death toll could hit or exceed 100,000

One out of four isn't bad...

My Strange Experience #1

I am male. At around the age of 10, I became aware of round, hard disks behind each of my nipples. The disks caused my nipples to protrude somewhat and was embarrassing when showering after gym class at school. I asked my mom what they were, but she only shrugged and said she didn’t know.

The disks were about the size of a dime and about twice as thick. They felt like bone. About three or four years later they simply disappeared. It happened so gradually, I think, that I didn't even notice they were gone until a few months had passed. I felt a great relief at their passing. Now I am normal, I thought, and no different from the other kids.

Flying Woman

In Spanish she is referred to as a 'bruja' or witch.

Or is it a UFO?

Didn't this video get a lot of publicity sometime last year?

I wonder why it's suddenly back in the news?

It sort of reminds me of my ex-wife. LOL.

Home is the Sailor, home from the Sea?

I may be crazy to believe in UFOs but I still enjoy a good poem now and then. UFO Pilgrim thinks it's kind of "New Agey" but he likes it anyway.

Lo and, behold I enter your mind,

and into your hands I deliver to you

the body of a child!

Born I know not where

Conceived among the stars up there.

Delivered to be raised by Terrans

And to learn their ways

Before returning back home

To my ancestral race.
