The Heavy Stuff

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?
