The Heavy Stuff

Hello, welcome back to The Heavy Stuff  (THS) - I appreciate you hitting the link. As you may know, in the last 10 days or so, a `video’ of the 2006 O’Hare Ufo Incident made it’s way to YouTube along with a fairly detailed `explanation’ of the person who summited it. (All relevant links will be at the bottom of this post.) Then, within days, that person was contacted by another person who claimed to also `film’ the unexplained event that was in the process of occurring.

Perhaps it would be better to say that the `event’ was caught from two different angles  — but - both - taken with 2006 cellphone technology, or earlier. Indeed, both of the 50 or so second videos are so `primitive’ looking as to almost be funny to be the one thing presented to `prove’ the event occurred. That said,  both of the videos  offer some minimal detail and realness - including the take-off of a plane in the beginning frames of the one video. The `new video’ is taken from a completely different location further from the `event’ (the first original video is taken from a very severe angle underneath the craft).

And, as one might expect, immediately - naysayers appeared to refute the `video’ and, somewhat, the `story’ - but, what was surprising is that the first `take’ was given by a `ufo’ writer ——— not some skeptic crew. Indeed, the title of his article was `Hoaxers Are Getting Bored’ - and he based his view on ——— that of another person. (Which I found a little strange.) But, that person was - indeed - an `expert’ on the affair 2006 event having been part of the investigation by  National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena - which produced a `negative’ report on the event in 2007.  And, that was not the only `expert’ who offered a negative take - the other is from the MUFON representative from Illinois.

But, perhaps we need to back up - and - shake our memories a little harder before the `videos’ are declared  fakes and the event - once again - pushed under the rug. So, in that regard — who remembers that when this `event’ surfaced that the CNN man was interviewing an airport worker cloaked in silhouette with voice distortion? I mean, how long before OR after has it been that you have seen a major news organization allow a person on-camera with such a story IN SILHOUETTE? This was the very definition of a hot story.

Perhaps some folks took the `event’ for what it was - extremely anomalous and very potentially a national security threat. After all, as I’ve made clear with long detailed points in my other posts, IF REAL, the `event’ was either a protocol of disclosure by a set of aliens; OR, a `blackmail threat’ by a superior group of humans not connected with a government organization. Very Very serious subject matter. (Even worse perhaps than connected to a government organization.)

So, is the YouTube poster - to be dissed for waiting? I don’t think so!

So, is the YouTube poster - to be dissed for not disclosing who they are now? I don’t think so! After all, to have the `angle’ presented - so underneath the `craft’ - could only mean - to me - that the person WAS ON THE AIRPORT GROUNDS OUTSIDE - ie: an airport employee - the very type of person said to have first reported the incident.

The next dismissal of the story - that the size was not congruent with previous `estimates’ of the craft (the YouTube poster said it was 100 meters) — he also said the craft was `closer-lower’ than - again - prior `estimates’ (which would make the craft appear larger). Indeed, lots of the criticism seems based on the `overcast’ and 1,700-1,900 ft cloud base level - and that the craft was described as `just below the cloudbase’.

But, do the naysayers as quickly forget that at least two different `sizes’ were given in all the initial reports too - one saying 30 ft or so and another saying 7 feet. Is it so hard to imagine that the `craft-event’ went up and down during the sighting - seeing how it `shot’ up thru the cloudbank to end the event (leaving a hole in the clouds).  What if the height `varied’ somewhat and the `real size’ of the `craft-event’ was 65 feet and the height level 1,350 feet — are we really gonna diss this whole thing based on a size estimate and height estimate (the YouTube poster put the craft at 700 ft, not the 1,700 of the initial report - which of course had no evidence.)?

Or, how about the outrageous suggestion that the craft was BOTH sizes - based on a cloaking manner - or ability to project into ones consciousness. Or that eye-witnesses seldom agree completely.

But, another thing also struck me. The `evidence’ that has literally trickled out prior to the latest - was not one or two photos; but, four or five pictures (see those in the links below) – which again - at the time, were quickly dissed. But, one thing ——————- those  photos support this NEW INFORMATION.

Indeed, if you check my links below you will see a `much bluer sky’ in one of the photos - and in some of the other ones - the photo seems to show the UFO in indeed a lower altitude than the 1,700 feet estimate. Memories can be short when the information was conflicting even at the time - but - now - with new information - perhaps more is beginning to really take shape.

Indeed, if you look at all the pieces and use some thoughtful mindfulness, and DON’T think hoax `first’ — than perhaps the information we have DOES make sense - regardless of reports and investigations.

Because, to me, IMHO - I think it looks like a `large object’ - of which I’d be hesitant to speculate based on the photo’s and videos - but, does look to be (truely guessing) to be up to 100 ft across - and at a lower altitude than 1,200 feet. Additionally, both video’s show a rotating disk, like some of the initial reports and at least one person of this new batch of info confirms the `shooting into the sky aspect’ of the final moments of the event.

So, that is how I see it. A little different than most perhaps - but - does anyone else provide you the very links of the evidence. But, then again, in this day and age - does the evidence even matter - when anything can be faked?

Thanks for reading - comeback soon - and bookmark us. Much more to be found down the page - or - on my front page. You can also see my NEW `best of ‘ site on squidoo at www.squidoo.com/AnomalyManArchive . Thanks for checking it out too.

Hello, welcome back to The Heavy Stuff (THS) - the one blog of the internet dedicated to taking positions on some of realities greatest mysteries. And, as most of you already know, THS also has a daily `anomaly links’ webpage on Squidoo featuring 1 to 5 daily links to everything from the esoteric to the absurd - the link will be below. And, as humanity moves further and further into the `information age’ - and as more and more information - becomes suspect - with all aspects of digital reality coming with the imbedded ability to manipulate the outcome - no `stories’ can be sworn to as real anymore. Such is the state of the anomalous internet world in 2008.No longer is `getting a picture’ or `video’ of a Ufo enough - since any product can be created in a lab and no one has the time, money or effort to prove or disprove any specific one anymore. And, in 2008, no longer is the word of the law above reproach - as we saw with the Georgia Bigfoot Hoax this summer promoted by one of our men in blue. And, no longer is the government afraid to tell the big lie - as in the Stephenville Ufo Incidents earlier in 2008. And, with such - `no longers’ - in our final visions of what constituted our high strangeness list for this year - we have decided to include the hoaxes too — as their coverage by the mainstream media is becoming part of the Fortean story.And, with that, THS presents 2008’s Best Hoaxes, Anomalous Events and Dubious Links Listing: (in reverse order)

#8 - Humanzees or Hybrids - Science or Monkey Business? - Link - http://gralienreport.com/cryptozoology/humanzees-and-hybrids-science-or-monkey-business/ Comment - An absolute winner article, in-depth, interesting, 5 minute read with great pictures. Has there ever been a human chimp hybrid? You may be surprised at the answers. #7 - Cow Abduction Into Spacecraft On Video - Link - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6046596687847798944&q=ufo Comment - An example of the dubious emerging online or an amazing capture - more and more the public will be given `evidence’ like this to consider. Indeed, another video we had on our Squidoo site this year showed a man being abducted and returned (all on a security video tape).

#6 - Georgia Bigfoot Hoax — Comment - In one of the better perpetuated hoaxes in recent memory - two young men, both with ties to law enforcement - swear that they have a frozen Bigfoot in a freezer that they will be revealing to the world. The lie is complete with different versions of dragging the creature miles thru the Georgia Mountains while under the watchful eye of `other bigfoots’.The Georgia Bigfoot hoax was not the only story worth following in the field - as was shown by this great article in 2008 about a lifelong quest after a sighting - http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/display.php?id=35887 — this is worth reading.#5 - Video Of Creature - Link - http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=31126420 Comment — Could this thing possibly be real? Can this possibly be `just computer generated’? To what levels will folks go to put over a good hoax?

#4 - Doglike Robot Carries 300 Pounds - Link - http://io9.com/368949/dogoid-robot-with-no-head-moves-in-an-eerily-lifelike-manner Comment - THS wanted to present these two videos - in-a-row ——— for comparison. We know the second is real and possible - imagine if YOU saw something like it in the woods. What if it was given red eyes? Or was 4 feet taller?#3 - Bigfoot Trailcam Video - Link - http://naturalplane.blogspot.com/2008/03/new-video-is-it-bigfoot.html Comment — Is this another too good to be true video - or - 9 frames of the super real?

#2 - Kentucky Ufo `Sighting-Calling’ With MUFON Present - Link - http://aliencasebook.blogspot.com/2008/09/kentucky-man-has-more-ufo-sightings.html Comment - THS has already talked extensively about this event; one that MUFON called `spiritual’ in nature. Tons of pictures. Brings to mind the many many claims of being able to `call’ spirits or orbs or ufo’s#1 (A) - Did Steve Fossett Make Contact With His Wife - Link - http://naturalplane.blogspot.com/2008/02/did-steve-fossett-make-contact-with-his.html Comment - In a year of very big tales and stories - none was more directed at mystery or involved anything of such an esoteric nature. In this link - explorer Fossett returned in his Doppelganger body to give his wife a message - makes a chill go up your spine doesn’t it? THS’s daily webpage www.squidoo.com/anomalyman has all of the above links in the best of 2008 section — and even more that didn’t quite make the top 10 cut.

AND FINALLY 2008’s #1 ANOMALY #1 — The Stephenville Texas Ufo Incidents Of 2008 - And, The Discredited Government Explanation of Military Jets - Comment - To those that followed the events in Jan. 2008 - one thing was clear — something - something HUGE was in the Texas skies that no one wanted to talk about in the government. MUFON was able to `prove’ that an object cruising at over 700 MPH with no transponder was in the skies. Scores of witnesses over a period of several weeks - with NEW reports in just the last few weeks of 2008 too.It was one of those incidents early in the year that had this video link (not highly regarded in MUFON’s report) that has seemingly set the stage for similar UFO craft demonstrations during the year. The `string of shapes - lights’ looks eerily like a language — make your own opinion - http://www.realufos.net/2008/03/full-stephenville-video-by-david-caron.html this is the uncut version of David Caron.Finally, it can’t be ignored that the Stephenville Incidents were near the Bush Ranch and that Obama had some Orbs visit one of his rallies too. That said, a worldwide obsession for the Ufo’s to show on Oct. 14^th fell thru - it seems mankind has moved to the `show me’ stage on Ufo’s. Would that be a reaction to not being able to believe video’s (etc) due to computer image generation?THS looks forward to your comments - bookmark THS - send this to a friend and visit our sidebar and blogroll. Thanks for reading.

In lieu of what could be nearly called a UFO `wave’ in Texas this month, and, with huge objects in the sky in general too (3 circumstances at least now this month alone) perhaps this post - which I had been working on over the last few weeks - is not needed. I say that because perhaps the last few months have been as active as we’ve seen the media coverage of the UFO matter be in a long time. And, now, the coverage of the HUGENESS of the Stephenville Ufo seems to take the `ufo thing’ beyond pilfered Black Budgets, and back engineering, and into the Crypto-unknown.

Now, of course, just because the media is covering something at any given moment, hardly means it isn’t or hasn’t been an on-going thing. The kidnapped child is only one of 100’s at any given moment. The unsolved murder is only one of 1000’s at any given moment. Likewise with Ufo reports. So, the media’s relative interest of late doesn’t make the `phenomena’ REAL or newly unique. Indeed, UFO hugeness has been reported before.

Yet, that said, a few folks continue in some quarters to make the case that the phenomena ISN”T explained by `aliens from this planet or other planets’. Hey, fair enough - but - lets look at an articulation of that viewpoint.

Specifically, the RRR Group, posted a blog entry - the link is here http://ufocon.blogspot.com/2007/12/ufos-cosmology-flaw.html. Within a day or so - another blog had this response - http://alienworldsmag.blogspot.com/2007/12/ufos-and-irrelevant-arguments.html .. Please take the time to read these blogs - then return.

THS would like to comment specifically now about some comments within the RRR posting.

” Earth is too insignificant to attract alien beings in flying saucers”

THS’S COMMENT - While we can quibble about the description - many of the `things in the sky’ seem to have a semi-standard structure that resembles `flying saucers’ or a `similar model’. SO, obviously, the statement about not attracting flying saucers on the face of it is false. Why flying saucers are here is indeed a question - of which the probable reason is that it is that we are indeed (or the Earth is indeed) `not insignificant’. Sorry — to THS - both of these statements, which begin the whole post — are not in THS’s opinion - accurate - or worth basing a whole posting defending.

RRR ” The Earth is infinitesimally small in the cosmological context, and without vibrant attractive features. Even the water element is trivial by observational standards“

THS - Since very large planets have overwhelming gravity that might prohibit `life’ emerging to a humanoid level — would they be a focus? No. Smaller planets might have similar life forms to life forms that would be traveling in (using RRR’s term) `flying saucers’. And, the water element trival - OH PLEASE.    Again — THS’s verdict on the comment — bogus.

But, the RRR post continues with near non-sense - consider.

RRR - ” Unless UFO inhabitants have technologies that enable “them” to ferret out minerals or liquids that they need or find interesting — and no UFO has exhibited such advanced technology – the Earth would remain invisible to them”

THS - UFO’s, whatever they are - have been long reported near power lines and nuclear facilities — would that not be ferreting out `minerals’ ? And obviously, we are NOT invisible to whatever is operating the crafts. Once again, THS’s verdict on the comment - bogus.

But, it doesn’t stop there - the strangely thought out post continues with this:

RRR - ” Alien explorers scouring the Universe or just our galaxy alone would miss the Earth by virtue of Earth’s inconsequentiality”

THS - Oh, come on —- if LIFE is on-board these crafts — they would be well aware which of the planets would be of interest to things with LIFE. Obviously, Earth fits the billing. (Unless they really liked frozen atmospheres - or the seemingly lifeless surfaces of Venus or Mars or Mercury). Obviously, if they wanted diverse life forms. Obviously, if they wanted to interact with `things’ that may have freewill or self-determination. Then, obviously, Earth is the one planet of very most interest within 25 trillion miles - THS thinks that POINT alone would certainly justify exploration.  THS verdict - goofy.

Continuing:

RRR - ” But Earth-centric ufologists still think that this planet is a beacon of some kind that has attracted interplanetary visitors since time immemorial”

THS - The characteristics of life have been around this planet for several hundred million years - if such lifeforms are cruising around the universe for the last 7 or so billion years (advanced life off of second-third generation stars) - they may very well have come by in the last 400 million years. Also, to THS, mankind’s murky beginnings leave much to be speculated about and indeed, old artifacts may indeed point to a time when `other humanoids’ may have `occupied’ this planet for a time. VERDICT — more likely than not Earth has been monitored in some manner.

Continuing:

RRR - ” Sure, the UFO phenomenon exists, but would better be explained by time travel (from the past or future) or even a parallel universe or existence.”

THS - Now, THS knows that RRR’s poster is on weak logic. IF the past could be changed would it have been real when it occurred? - NO - I think we can rule out `flying saucers’ being from the past. FUTURE? - Oh, please, — whose’s future may THS ask? Can the future have meaning when the only `actions’ occur in the present. What gobbledygook. NO, RRR, `they’ don’t come from the past or future. VERDICT - goofy. Parallel universe? - IF by that RRR means within the `current’ and perhaps be referring to higher dimensions or vibrations within that `current’ —- PERHAPS — Finally, RRR, made one comment not totally goofy.

RRR - ” And the vast number of UFO sightings and varying craft configurations (if real) indicate a sizable presence that means some alien culture has an inordinate interest and exploratory fleet available to waste time in Earth’s skies, or a slew of alien cultures have stumbled upon Earth and have been intrigued enough, to the detriment of all other planets in the galaxy or Universe, to remain on scene for millennia, and to what purpose?”

THS - THS would dispute the categorizing as a `sizable presence’ and assumes that alien life would find humans worth the study since we seem to be the influential species on the planet - who are in a mode within the last 65 years of altering the planets very orbit (with hydrogen bombs) in the universe. IF more than one species is monitoring — the sizable presence becomes just commonsensical. AND, since there probably isn’t life like we have within 24 trillion miles — perhaps that is the reason they are staying. VERDICT - the outcome of faulty premises.

RRR - ” An argument can be made that UFOnauts are loopy and we human beings can’t fathom their thought processes or modus operandi”

THS - Finally, a point that can be agreed with — indeed - beings, who are possibly BILLIONS of years more advanced - may indeed, have thought processes or operations we don’t understand.

RRR- “That’s a possibility we admit, but hoping for a relief from Earth’s woes by such obtuse creatures makes little sense also.”

THS - What whining. THS certainly isn’t hoping for `relief’ from `obtuse creatures’. And, why would beings who have a history BILLIONS of years long be `obtuse’? While some indeed hope the aliens come and establish order or take us to heaven or replace oil with free energy — that is hardly the reason folks end up seeing these craft — or is that what RRR is saying?

RRR - “And if flying saucers were or are an invading vanguard, the procrastination bespeaks something not sinister but inept”

THS -  THS agrees - THS doubts this is an invasion to take over the world - SO - it isn’t sinister in that regard and isn’t inept in that regard. To call an intelligence that can move a craft to amazing speeds inept - speaks for itself.

RRR - “No, cosmology doesn’t allow for alien or interplanetary UFOs, so the mystery has to be explained in some other way….or dismissed out of hand as worthy of further attention, which we’ve been advocating for some time now.”

THS - It should be noted that elsewhere in the post that RRR indicated NOT believing in `flying sauces’ being `Earth-based’ — THS assumes this is because RRR would have to admit they got here somehow.

Anyway - THS’s view is that interplanetary travel might indeed be possible at even less than light speed with `intelligent machines’ that have billions of years to preform the original purpose they were designed for. Additionally, THS’s view is that IF `humaniod’ intelligence is within a reasonable distance - say 50 light years - that it’s possible that a very limited amount of entities within that distance (several hundred - to thousand suns of varying power - 233 are within 30 light years including the low powered stars) may develop travel abilities within that kind of distance even with crafts of less than light speed. That said, a dimensionality of the here-now, is likely the `source’ of these `objects-entities’ — and all this talk of distance and time is nearly meaningless.

Bottom line — Earth is worthy of visitations. Humans are worthy too.

Please go to my new blog at http://ufodisclosurecountdownclock.blogspot.com for much more on the UFO wave of 2008.

The Heavy Stuff (THS) loves this time of year most for the `best of’ lists that appear in the media. It could be the best astronomy pictures, the best news-stories…. but THS’s favorite (of course) are the Lists involving the paranormal. THS’s especially enjoys the lists from great sites like www.about.com and www.cryptomundo.com (both found on great paranormal link sites like www.anomalist.com  and www.thedailygrail.com and THS’s own www.squidoo.com/anomalyman ). When all the amazing `out of normal consensus’ events are taken in their totality — no wonder our heads spin. And, while we have TWO days or so for the ultimate anomaly of the year — THS would like to present our own `nutshell’ listing.

UFO’s

1. FAA’s denial of the Nov.06 O’Hare Ufo Incident in Jan. 07— The uproar this created in the media was the most since the famed Phoenix Lights Incident in 1997. CNN even utilized the famous `silhouette’ type of lighting with disguised voices to get the information to `all of us’.

2. Costa Rica Cellphone UFO - THS has this link on our Squidoo site for Dec. 10th —- here’s the direct link — http://naturalplane.blogspot.com/2007/12/interesting-ufo-video-recorded-in-costa.html — THS’s position is that with the amazing graphics now possible with computers — it’s REAL events like these captured on `technology, but, less tamper-able technology’ (such as cellphones) are the new `credible’ type of evidence. In this amazing cellphone captures, one can clearly see the atypical saucer UFO.

3. The Haiti UFO clip. — Look at #2 to realise that `close up ufo videos’ are now to be relegated to `entertainment’ by the media. For fellow followers of this type material — the Haiti video caused a huge initial stir, made the TV media, and then seemed NOTHING but a PR hoax. The media was burned is THS’s take of the incident.

4. The Lake Erie UFO (s) — While shot with a video camera (with the typical ‘what’s that dude’ talk) to THS — this was very convincing of something going on involving objects in the sky. The video link is available on my other lens www.squidoo.com/anomalyman2006 . In summary, a bright object out over Lake Erie has another anomalous object come out of nowhere, approach it, and then receded.

5. Presidential candidates and politicians in UFO spotlight….. Somehow, the subject was deemed worthy of comment by more than one candidate; and two politicians - Kucinich and the Former Arizona Governor admitted to seeing UFO’s themselves and being awestruck. Late in the year, officials in Japan seemed to come close to `disclosing’ the whole UFO matter. Don’t hold your breath.

6. Roswell `deathbed’ confessions….. At least two old timers with first hand knowledge came forward in the past year — one in a letter opened only after his death — and the other an 85 year old codger. BOTH said there were saucers and dead alien bodies.

Also rans include; The `Mile Wide’ Europe UFO….. This was in the spring, spotted by a pilot (remember authority is important) – got lots of coverage before the Haiti hoax — part of the slow media expanding portrayal (indoctrination?) that some UFO’s are `massive’.

Other Anomalous Events and THS’s Positioning

In this area, THS would like to be more general about the anomalous 2007 events.

               BIGFOOT

Is it news that Bigfoot, once again, was unconfirmed for another year? Despite many sponsored searches? Despite rocks being thrown on top of cabins 200 miles from humanity? Despite many reports of the `creature’ near populated areas in Florida? (And unpopulated areas of course.) Despite a blurry video or two of what seem to be `apes’ in the woods?

Yes, evidently it is news — and some of the years best `stories’ are of Bigfoot and it’s footprints and `fleeting impressions’. While never commented on before in this blog — THS’s positioning on Bigfoot’s is that they are `temporary creature/events’. Only this could account for lack of ` a body’ after this length of time and interest. At least that is what `common sense’ says. LOL.

FLYING HUMANOIDS

Could Flying Humanoids be the next big thing in paranormal? THS knows that if you are not a HUGE fan of this type of material that these stories may have escaped you. They happened (supposedly). There is even this video of one http://paranormal.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=paranormal&cdn=newsissues&tm=9&gps=98_230_975_591&f=00&su=p284.8.150.ip_&tt=2&bt=1&bts=0&zu=http%3A//www.liveleak.com/view%3Fi%3De27_1173581537  later in the year, this link emerged of another flying humanoid observed

http://paranormal.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=paranormal&cdn=newsissues&tm=438&gps=104_1411_975_591&f=00&su=p284.8.150.ip_&tt=2&bt=1&bts=0&zu=http%3A//www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2517321.html — Yes, you read that right — this one was dressed in a manner similar to Superman.

What in the world is to be made of this? Is this humans who have achieved some supernatural level like Don Juan in Carlos Castaneda’s books? Are these entities from beyond just enjoying our planet (and to flip us out)? Have they learned from Chris Angel? Are we indeed in some sort of computer that literally gives us random images from time to time? Are these archetypes?

Ghosts (orbs)

Maybe Ohio is a haunted place with all those Indian Spirits — but the Blue Ghost in Ohio this year was one of the best. More and more `orblike’ things were seen on camera; sometimes even going in and out of infants mouths. Some folks are beginning to claim they can call orbs for photographs– or put orbs into the sky (such as Prophet Yahweh). The meshing of orbs and `rods’ can’t be far away can it?

CONTRAILS

Legions of folks are beginning to speak about how the sky is different compared to just 15 years ago. They realize that the HUGE X’S and patterns they see are totally different than how the sky has looked most of their lifetimes. Others are beginning to do what amounts to `people research’ on the phenomena for the media. Is the biggest paranormal story right in front of us daily and worldwide?

AND FINALLY

Finally, there were other very cool paranormal reads. The dead father who `came thru’ a woman’s young son to speak to her. The friend `found’ after a vivid dream. The disappearing Bees. Elephants that can tell the good people from bad people. Fish in tanks as smart as 4 year olds. Chimps better at remembering than college students. And finally, The Drones of 2007.

Can 2008 have more high strangeness than this?

Today on my lens at www.squidoo.com/anomalymanI posted a link I found to a UFO video supposedly made of a `massive UFO show’ in Peru on May 20th - the video is part of a newscast of the event - you will find the link under the two posted for today June 6th. Also, in the video, the comparison is made to the Mexico City event which indeed looked/looks very similar to this recent event in Peru. Meaning, lots and lots of `ufo lights’ in the sky — dozens of ufo light-spaces. Supposedly, the `Ufo’s’ stayed in the sky for a very extended period and were widely seen. Is this just a continuation of the Protocol Sequences required before disclosure of alien presence — the build-up of a series of irrefutable proof events - seemingly, at times, to be under acceleration? Instead of `dozens’ will the next time bring `hundreds’ - or - would a civilization being approached via a build-up in `irrefutable events’ be `scared’ by a show of hundreds (of craft - or just lights)? Is it a balancing act?

Indeed, will video `proof’ ever be taken as real proofby today’s skeptical society - that has seen it all and heard it all from the government and news-maker talking heads? Will the increase in video cameras thruout the world and the more frequent recording of the impossible paraNormal — make the `impossible’ dismissible by the media because —– like any photo — any video can be faked nowadays? And, where does that leave the UNFAKED paranormal captures on video - or - what indeed are we to make of them.

Any follower of the paranormal has seen `Ghost Movies’ since the days of shaky hand held films of the 50’s and onward - not many — but ghosts had been captured on film — even `ghosts’ not seen by the naked eye while filming. Somehow, even those 1950 video cameras (super 8 films etc) had some quality of being able to record `hidden space appearances’ that our eye does not record. Nowadays, even on this blog — I’ve mentioned and had links to `Ghost videos’ - some made by security video tapes in the middle of the night —- UFO’s have also been captured on these type of set-ups.

Perhaps it’s just me — but — to me — it’s more likely that the non-human security cameras are capturing a viewable reality than not. The ghosts that are being seen on these cameras — just as the ufo’s being seen on today’s link — are real. And, indeed, are amazing. I believe all this regardless if the videos could be produced by bigtime studios or rich folk who wish to divert humanities interests. Frankly, it is THAT that I don’t believe — that the world is full of fakes trotting out laughable material. The fact that paraNormal events are being captured more is only logical with more people and more cameras — it does not make it less likely or more likely that these events are happening - just that more are being seen — as `more of reality is being recorded on video’ — Could it be that the video recording is actualizing marginal events below normal observation?

And, that brings me to a link I had on my lens about two months ago — and which is dated April 4th — http://www.metacafe.com/watch/200758/flying_creature/ it is a heck of a video —- and pushes the very edge of what the marginal events below the actualization of `observable reality’ might be. Could the `shadow’ virtual world of particles - contain - event spaces — such as mythical creatures and is this the capturing of one on film?

Finally, a few words about this blog — 4,500 visitors in March and 7,000 since — sometimes hundreds a day because of listings on great websites like www.anomalist.com and www.thedailygrail.comand more. I will continue to try to do my best to highlight issues less noted by others and to try to bring the best in speculation on the paraNormal from a phenomenology perspective.
