RETURN TO ALIEN ISLAND

When I was a small child I played in a large public park that was located directly down the road from my family home. All the kids in the neighborhood would simply climb the fence that divided the park from our neighborhood to use the park as our private playground.

Thinking back to this time I realize how dangerous it was for us l to be running loose in this large park without adults or supervision. During those days however no one gave the dangers too much thought. That was a mistake as the children who ventured into this park to play had experiences that were unusual and dangerous.

I wrote an article about one of these events called Playing in a Paranormal Park. I was traumatized my entire life by what chased me in that park that day. My encounter as taken from my article happened as I was playing with a friend in the park:

My friend noticed it first. She stood up and looked towards the river outlet and said, “ What’s that?” She was pointing towards the swans. I looked over towards her out stretched finger to see a ray of light. I stood also. The moment I stood up the swans started to squeal in a strange frantic manner. I never saw them or heard them do anything like that before

The light was odd. It was a color I had never seen before, or since. It was a neon type green. It was very bright, so bright it hurt to look at it. I immediately felt fear. The rays were reversed. They seemed to be coming up from the river instead of down from the sky. The swans were flapping and trying to fly away but seemed so disoriented all they seemed to do was flap around and into each other.

I became terrified and whispered to my friend; “ We have to get out of here” she backed towards me and started to reach down for our belongings. I took her hand and said “Leave them, we will get them later.” I held her hand and we both slowly started to move towards the path. We hardly breathed. We moved very slowly as not to draw any attention from that light to us. We were on the path and moving away from the tree and light when we heard a low crisp clicking sound. It was a sound I have heard again over my life but this was my first experience encountering it. It sounded like a mix of a water sprinkler that clicks across the lawn and then returns; you know that click click click-mixed with the sound of bugs on a hot summers night. That is the best I can explain it.

The sound was coming closer and closer, the ray of light fanning out larger and larger, we were heading carefully away down the path towards the bigger path and then hopefully to the exit of the park.

As the sound of that clicking moved closer towards us through the woods along the path adjacent to the water, we picked up our speed until we were both at a full run.

The faster we ran the louder the clicking. The ray of light was expanding so I could now see it over the treetops. I ran so fast and so hard I felt as if my heart would explode. I was completely terrified. Melinda was right besides me, she was sobbing in fear as we ran.

I knew we could not make it back to the main exit. I pulled my friend towards the fenced part of the park, which lined up along a main road back into our community. We hit the fence at a full run and scaled it with the clicking right behind our every step. We flew over the fence and tumbled both onto the main road. A neighbor lady nearly ran us over as we fell into the road right in front of her car. She slammed on her brakes avoiding hitting us by only a few feet. She started to yell at us but soon realized we were crying and frightened half to death. We started to cry that something was following us in the park. She loaded us into her car and drove us to my house.

After that event happened I realized that other things had been happening to us as we played in the deserted corners of the large wooded park.

There was a little island that you were able to access by a tree branch type primitive bridge called Breezy Island. The years I played in this park were between 1959 and 1962 Breezy island was a small island that stuck out into the river off the mainland coast of this park.

The island had winding paths that would take you to the islands shore along the rivers edge that was filled with ducks, swans and all the assorted wild life that lived along the river. For kids it was a paradise of adventure. In the center of this island was a open air large gazebo also made from old tree branches. This structure was two stories high with a brick fireplace and enclosed area of three sides on the first level and a open sided gazebo on top. It was built to be very rustic and tree house like. For the kids it was a fabulous popular place to sit and eat our picnic lunches.

As I played in this park I found I had a very strange reaction to it. I both loved and hated the park yet did not understand why. When my friends wanted to go play there I also wanted to explore the paths and run in the open forests but also felt a cold fear I did not understand.

Before the green ray of light incident I already started to hate Breezy Island, which was a favorite stop for all my friends. Just before the clicking ray event that chased us that day I had already refused to join the other kids when they headed for that little Island. I would fill with terror when on the small Island. I especially hated the under side of the tree house gazebo. The terror was so extreme after the ray incident that I stayed away from the park and that Island from the age of 10 on. I did not want to or think about returning to that park or that little island -until this year.

I thought it was time the spring of this year to investigate my enormous fear of this park and that island. Now some 50 odd years later I wanted to go see if my lifelong fear was as bad as I remembered or a childhood memory blown out of proportion.

A group of people I knew were going to visit to this park. I decided to go along so I could use this group adventure to visit my childhood demons while returning once again to this dreaded place.

It was this past May. We went one lovely spring day during a sunny afternoon. The group met in the parking lot of the park and decided to explore the building holding a small collection of items from the past when a rich family privately owned the park in the 1800’s.

After exploring the buildings we ventured out onto the great lawn that swept down to the river and the paths that wandered into the wooded areas of the large Parks land mass.

As soon as we hit the waters edge my stomach started to turn upside down. There were about 15 adults with me so I felt secure yet I knew that my childhood fears were not fantasy but of trauma. We headed towards the tree area where my encounter with the ray took place and Breezy Island.

We came upon the old tree where the green ray event took place. By now the tree was heavy and over grown and did not resemble the memory I had of it so many years before. I did have total recall of the incident and wanted to move past the tree to Breezy Island to see if I felt the same fears about that little island.

The little island still stood as it did in my childhood. The old wooden bridge was replaced with a safer modern bridge. The island seemed sad and depressed with much of the once healthy greenery drab and bleak. As all things from our childhood the entire area seemed much smaller.

The old gazebo structure was changed but there were parts of the original building still in place. I immediately felt uncomfortable and sick to my stomach as I crossed the bridge to this old childhood play area.

As I looked out from the island to the river I had a sensation of being dizzy and needed to quickly stumble to a near by bench or I would have fell to the ground. The bench was set on an angle that viewed both the river and the old structure of the original tree house. As I sat looking where the fireplace once stood on the first floor of the tree house gazebo I had my first recall of what was going on in this dreadful place during my childhood.

As all who have had encounters they cannot explain or totally recall of lost time events or abductions it is common to have flashes of recall of things that you do not understand

Over a lifetime of experiencing these flashes or quick views of memory you soon realize you are seeing bits and pieces of events that were mostly wiped or removed from your mind. Like many others who have encountered these things they will tell you parts of these memories can stay intact and will pop out at odd moments or if the memory is provoked.

There are people who try to retrieve these memories by different methods while many others want no part of remembering what took place. These people want what has been wiped from their memory to stay wiped and want nothing to do with trying to bring back what has been removed. I am one of these people.

To understand this you must realize that a feeling of absolute god awful terror comes hand and hand with these flashes which is why so many want them left alone and if possible forgotten. I am in that category and do not want to recall any of the events that took place during my lost time events or abductions and try hard not to relive the events that bring me the emotion of ultimate suffocating terror.

As I sat on the bench on this beautiful blue-sky white fluffy cloud day I felt a horror that made my heart want to blow apart in my body. The fear that filled my being was so over powering and dreadful I did not think I would live through it. I was sure my heart was going to stop beating.

I sat on that bench as my mouth filled with the contents of my stomach and saw in fast clear flashes an odd shaped terrifying creature walking towards me from the first floor fireplace area of that old tree house. This half human shaped dank gray green creature was coming towards me with a strange long arm reaching out to me. I could smell a vile odor of a mixture of chemicals, mold and death. As fast as the flash vision occurred it was gone.

I leaned over the bench and threw up. I stood up and knew all at once that this was a place I was taken as a child and that the horror and fear I carried inside of me was real and unkind.

I filled with anger as I was just a child and whatever, whoever that being was, IT had no right at all to interfere with me as a helpless child alone in a deserted area.

I understand that these encounters are part of a journey of events in my life that I had no choice or say in. I handle it differently now, as an older person who better understands the events that have occurred during my life. I know I never wanted any part of these encounters and know one thing about abductions and lost time - they are against our will and unfair on every level.

This was one event in my life. I have not written very much about my own experiences but feel now at this point it may be the time for me to add my own encounters to others like me.

I have been taken on this journey to the unknown without choice and against my will. It now is my will and my choice to write about these experiences and the events of those who have had sightings, abductions, lost time events as well as other paranormal encounters similar to mine.

Those who read what I write can make the choice to believe what has happened to me and others who have experiences like mine- or not. That is completely the reader’s choice.

I do know that many out there will one day also come face to face with a strange being, odd sighting, endure an abduction or find they are dealing with a lost time event. Those who do experience the unknown may recall something they have read that someone else has lived through before them and pull from that knowledge what they need to survive their own encounter.

Trips into the unknown are happening day in and day out all over this world by millions of people I write for those of you who may one day walk unknown roads so you understand you are not alone and these things are very real and do happen- even to you!

Be careful out there and pay attention to your surroundings

Aliens From the Deep? Or, What in the HELL is Going on in Alaska?

Whatever is going on in Alaska right now is definitely the stuff for Forteans. I don't mean Sara Palin's abrupt departure (was she visited by a blinding white light and decided to follow the voices within) although that was certainly odd. We have this news item from July 8: 'Uplift' baffles scientists, transforms area beach:

Ike a giant fist punching through the earth, a 1,000-foot long section of the beach below Bluff Point rose up 20 feet from the tidelands sometime last Friday or late Thursday, pushing boulders up from the ocean bottom, cracking sandstone slabs and toppling rocks upside down.

Below Bluff Point, a new fissure opened up at the base of the 800-foot high cliff. The uplift could be a re-activation of a landslide that happened perhaps 12,000 years ago.

There's also the big glob of goo off Alaska: Big blobs of mystery goo floating off Alaska coast

Hunters from Wainwright first started noticing the stuff sometime probably early last week. It's thick and dark and "gooey" and is drifting for miles in the cold Arctic waters, according to Gordon Brower with the North Slope Borough's Planning and Community Services Department.

Andrew Colvin Interview

Andrew Colvin, along with Adam Gorightly, Joan D'Arc, Peter Lavenda, Iona Miller, Pinchbeck, a few others, have it right, or close to it, in my opinion. They go about it in their own way but I'd put them in the same category. Anyway, listen to Colvin (author of Mothman Photographer's series) on this podcast.

Yeah, it's "dark" but it's still truly esoteric, in that just about all sides consider this perspective kooky and embarrassing. Some UFO researchers and paranormal/anomalous researchers would gain from going in this direction. It's a fine line between this kind of thing -- and I don't neccesarily share in all of the opinions or theories expressed -- and the horrible yellow journalism, drama queen hysterics of Jeff Rense. It's the process, the style I guess; looking at tendrils of that estoeric octopus. More on this later, meantime, listen to the interview, and if you haven't read any of Gorightly's books or Colvin's.

What Out of this World is Hiding in That Cloud?

I had an interesting talk today with a friend who is renting a vacation house on Fire Island this summer. Fire Island is a fantastic Island separate from the main land of Long Island New York. Fire Island is used as a vacation land for many New Yorkers. It is only accessible by boat or small water landing planes.

It is a thin island lined with small beach towns with summer homes connected by boardwalks making small hamlets along the beachfront.

At night all one can see is miles of ocean ahead of you and endless stars over you. I try to visit Fire Island during the summer months. With my friend staying there this year I decided to take a ferry over before the crowds hit for vacation time.

During my visit my friend told me of a strange sighting he had a few weeks before of something over the ocean hanging in the sky like a huge cone of cotton candy.

He was walking his dog along the beach on one of the few days it was not raining when he noticed a cloud that was much lower then the others hovering out over the ocean. He told me that the cloud was much whiter and brighter then the other clouds.

He noticed it was not moving along with the wind, as the rest of the clouds were that were much higher then this one. He told me that the cloud had a very specific shape to it that never changed either. He told me he stopped and sat down on the beach to watch this odd cloud for a while.

The cloud remained in a standard position hovering lower and lower until it was only a few hundred feet above the water line. When the cloud fell close to the ocean he could see an outline of a metal gray craft that seemed to be wrapped in cotton candy. He could clearly see that something was being cloaked behind or inside this cloud shield as it came lower and lower towards the ocean line. As he watched the craft seemed to thicken its width and density of layers of the cotton candy cloud like material.

He watched as this cloud craft object lifted slowly back up towards the other clouds now that it had become thicker and fuller completely hiding what was deep inside this cover of white cloud material. The cloud kept adding altitude until it was level with the other clouds in the sky and started to increase its speed floating away with the higher clouds until it was far out to sea and lost in the blue and white of the ocean and sky.

This is not the first time I have heard or read about the new cloud cloaking UFO’s that seem to be floating about right over our heads. I have noticed the clouds are strange on some days. I know the weather is extremely odd. I have to wonder how often this is going on directly over our heads without our noticing it. We are creatures of habit and easily distracted from our surroundings. This cloud cloaking would be a logical way to carry on as they wish right over our heads.

My friend had a very simple explanation about what he had seen. He thinks that the new cloud cloaking crafts are just the 2008-2009 models of one of our visitors. I must admit that during my life time I have watched as the typical saucer style crafts changed to being cigar shaped, then very big in size or mother ships, to triangle shapes, rectangle shaped, and of course orb and pure light in design. Recently we have had videos and photos of crafts releasing or discharging some type of light substance as they hovered overhead.

I realize that there are most likely many different types of beings visiting our planet and do not expect the beings or the crafts they use to all be one style or design. I also realize we have been viewing these visitors over many years. We have gone from the horse and wagon to SUV’s and hybrids. I am sure our visitor’s crafts have advanced and changed as well.

I think the one thing that seems to stay stationary between earthlings and our visiting neighbors is that they want to remain anonymous and at arms length with most of us who populate this earth. They obviously like to observe us but always hidden away or in encounters with one or a handful of us at a time. Other wise they seem to intend to stay cloaked in the clouds.

I am sure we will hear more and more about those of us who do have close encounters with our visiting neighbors but as it has been I think it will remain for a while longer at their desire and on their terms.

I will be paying close attention to the clouds this summer and hope you all will do the same. I cannot imagine what will be coming our way once their new 2010- 2012 models begin to appear overhead. I am sure it will be something beyond our imaginations or understanding. I do know they are very tricky and we will have to pick up our skills in detecting what hovers directly above us. Be careful out there and keep looking up!

Currently on Binnall of America: Bruce Rux, Animals, and Much More. . .

Over at Tim Binnall's BOA website, a lot of great stuff. First of all, there is the mega-interview with Bruce Rux, author of Hollywood vs. the Aliens. I listened to most of the interview (s) last night, have one more to go. I have Hollywood vs. the Aliens in my collection -- an excellent book -- but don't have his
Architects of the Underworld: Unriddling Atlantis, Anomalies of Mars, and the Mystery of the Sphinx, so I ordered it last night.

My Trickster's Realm column for BOA this week is about crop circles: Crop Circles: There Should be Joy. Lesley Gunter's article for her Grey Matters column is Celebrity Death x 3, and Lasha Seniuk writes about cat spirit energy: Angels With Fur. Richelle Hawks dicusses the music of Kate Bush and the occult in Kate Bush and the Occult.

THE HUM- WHAT MAY LURK BELOW!

It happened again today. I was sitting on my deck typing on my laptop when I became aware of an agitating noise in the background. I did not notice it at first. You need to be in a setting without television or any type of background noise going on. There in silence you can hear it.

I do not hear this hum all the time. In fact I only recall a few other times at best when I have heard it. It is not loud or offensive. It is however annoying and nerve breaking if it goes on too long.

I also heard this noise a few weeks ago. I was sitting reading in my screened porch when I became aware of this grating non-stop humming. It is a mix of a dull diesel truck idling in the distance and the rumbling of an oil burner in your basement. It is a deep dull husky humming that can last for hours and soon lean on your last nerve causing an annoying thumbing that can drive you up a wall.

I did today what I did the day in my porch. I stopped what I was doing grabbed my car keys and went hunting along the roads and backwoods where I live looking for the source of this annoying noise. I was not able to concentrate on what I was doing as the constant dull pounding of this hum was driving me crazy so I drove around trying to find out what it was.

I would drive and stop drive and stop- turn off my car and stand in the road and listen. I followed the humming sound trying to locate the source or direction it was coming from only to find I was driving in circles. I could not find what was causing this hum and could not find a definite direction for its source. This throbbing low constant hum seemed to be everywhere yet nowhere. It was very frustrating.

I recalled reading of others who had complained that they also were suffering from this annoying hum. I knew other people all over the world were hearing this noise and also unable to locate or figure out the source of the noise.

I recalled reading an article about a town in England where the hum has been keeping the residents awake for weeks at a time. It would stop for a while only to return again. The article reads:

‘A mysterious humming noise which kept residents of a Suffolk town awake at night for weeks has struck up again.’

I found other articles and you tubes explaining how people all over the earth are complaining about this mysterious hum. They also are not able to figure out the source.

Recently I read a article in which a doctor who could not find a reason to easily explain this annoying noise decided (as is the way with many things that are unknown)- that the noise is in peoples imaginations. He decided they should all simply meditate the annoying hum away. I must admit this was without question the word of one who has not experienced this annoying drumming hum.

I returned home today after searching for the mysterious hum to find both my best friend and my sister sitting on my deck waiting for me. I had left in a hurry leaving my ice tea and sandwich sitting with my open running laptop on the patio table. It made them wonder where I was and gave them cause to sit and wait for me to return.

My sister had arrived first. Before I could say where I had been she asked me what that noise was. She said she noticed it as she sat waiting for me. She looked around to see if she could see a truck or some type of machinery nearby but did not notice anything. My friend arrived shortly after my sister and also remarked about the strange noise that seemed to be coming from everywhere yet not belong to anything.

I explained I was out searching for the root of that annoying rumble. I told them how I searched high and low yet found nothing that was making this background growl we all now sat listening to. I thought about the doctor who decided the sound was a fabrication of our minds and wondered how I managed to have this sound heard by both my sister and friend unless we were all having a united massive hallucination!

Throwing that idea out the window I went back to wondering exactly what was causing this hum that comes from nothing and goes with the wind. It seems to be notorious world wide for coming and going at a whim, which makes it all the more mysterious. My sister who lives about ten miles from my house told me she has heard the same hum a few times in her own yard. It is an odd occurrence that I truly have no answer to.

I have read of all kinds of explanations from high-tension wires (I have none of those near my home) to UFO’s. While discussing this on my deck as we listened to it today my friend thought maybe it was coming from below, like digging under ground or tunneling. That sent a chill down my spine as I could only wonder who or what would be doing that.

I have no ideas why I have joined many others out there who at times suffer from the annoying throbbing of this low humming noise. All I know is sometimes I hear it and when I do it is annoying.

I am curious how many others out there are also hearing this humming where they live or work? I wonder if they also are unable to locate the source of the noise. If so I would love to know about it.

For now pay attention to your surroundings and the things you hear in the dead of night. Who knows -when your least expecting it- you too may hear the mysterious earth wide sound of ‘The Hum.’

LES VAMPIRES, MUSIDORA AND THE VAMP WORLD OF THE FORGOTTEN ORIGINAL GOTHS

For all the Vamps, an interesting article by Allen Greenfield.
LES VAMPIRES, MUSIDORA AND THE VAMP WORLD OF THE FORGOTTEN ORIGINAL GOTHS

What's Going on With the Weather?

Freak Beijing storm turns day into night

Day turns to night as a storm sweeps across Beijing in China just before midday on June 16, 2009. (June 16, 2009, 6:07 pm)

I don't know about the weather where you live but here on Long Island New York it is really strange.

Over my lifetime I cannot recall a time when I was still wearing a jacket in the middle of June. We are not able to go side to do anything summer like as it has been raining every day now for weeks. Our pools sit unused and our beaches deserted.

We have thunderstorms now that are low and frightening. I have had cracks of lightning over my house that nearly threw me out of my chair they were so loud, close and violent. The few days we did have sunshine were so cold I needed a blanket wrapped around me as I tried to sit on my deck to read with a hot cup of tea at my side. The birds I once listened to daily this time of year are silent and hiding. I imagine they are as confused as I am about this crazy weather.

I read the other day that New Jersey had a hailstorm that was so severe they needed to bring out the snow equipment to clear the road in some places. I have to wonder what in the world is going on?

I have a sister who has a science background who has always been interested in clouds and would talk about them ever since we were children. She knew what kinds looked what way and what caused each type to develop.

The last few years my sister has been telling me that she thinks that something is wrong with the clouds. She told me the clouds look fake to her and are not at the normal height in the sky. I am not one to know exactly what cloud I am looking at, but have noticed, once she mentioned it, that some days the sky looked as if it came out of a painting rather then the easy soft flow of mother nature. There seemed to be a stiffness to them. A perfection that was not completely normal. They did not float along as I remembered watching as a child but then again- I am not sure, as I am not a cloud expert.

The fact that the strange spraying that has been going on in our skies for years still continues to this very day makes me wonder if it is in someway connected to this crazy weather. The planes that fly out of the normal travel lanes who crisscross each other leaving miles of long trails of cloud like material that turn different colors, multiply in size and drift over the land for the entire day. I wonder if that is connected to this strange new climate?

It is impossible for me to not consider this, as this spraying has become routine where I live. The only thing that is ridiculous about the spraying going on over our heads is that some people still try to hold onto the cry "It is normal jet traffic con trails."

I think even the most stubborn of us who refuse to acknowledge this ongoing spraying as a man made venture that is not normal contrails are the same who are not able to answer simple questions. If this is from normal air traffic why is it not seen every day or on days with the same exact climate and temperatures? Why are the planes doing this not seen in the normal jet lanes of plane traffic? Lastly why do the contrails of normal air traffic dissipate while the abnormal spraying being done lasts for an entire day and fans out to form long lasting colorful clouds? I know many refuse to deal with this subject however by the many emails I have received on this issue I know a huge amount of the public realize this is strange and are concerned.

So here I sit in the middle of June with the windows closed, the heat on and my yard looking more like early November then June. I think it is obvious I have considered that this odd weather has some connection to the years of spraying that has been going on over our heads.
It is well known that the weather can be manipulated. In China it is done openly. I am sure it is a practice that takes place all over the world at this point. I just wonder how good we are at controlling something that Mother Nature may have wanted to handle on her own?

I just read that seven people died in Beijing China the other day as a odd storm with huge black clouds over took Beijing, the headline read:

“The storms were expected to affect western and northern Xingjian, most part of Inner Mongolia, northeast China and north China.
Today's extreme weather follows yesterday's hailstorms across eastern China's Anhui province, which killed 14 people and injured more than 180, AFP reports.
Anhui's Civil Affairs Bureau said that more than 10,000 people were evacuated and nearly 9,700 houses collapsed in yesterday's severe storm.
Anhui was struck by hail and winds of up to 104 kilometers per hour, causing $82 million worth of damage.
A similar hailstorm struck the region in the first week of June, killing 23 people and injuring more than 200.
Officials have warned residents that more dangerous weather could follow.”

I realize we are heading towards many changes as we enter into new cycles and watch the old ones slip away. I am aware that we are due to enter a time of new galactic alignment and new positioning in our own solar system. I understand that we are due to have a pole reversal as well as on the path of enduring changes with the sun causing flares that will knock out our electric and communication abilities plus much more.

I am aware that the climate is going to change and has been changing however I wonder if we are not sticking our fingers in this already tumultuous world by manipulating the weather? If so it appears we are not too good at it!

I hear all kinds of theories about this wild weather from the standard global warming right to those who feel aliens are changing our weather patterns. I recently listened to two people discuss the fact that the weather may have been made cooler in order to contain the swine flu outbreaks in some heavily populated areas where they were having lots of cases breakout. I listened as they talked about the concern of the virus becoming over powering once the summer heat hit the area. I wondered if there could be any truth in that idea at all?

All I know is that I live in a place where every June I would be spending most of my day outside in the sun - sitting by the pool or walking on the beach. This year I wear my jeans with a sweater and wonder if I will ever get to take a swim or wear my shorts this year at all? I understand in two weeks time it may be hot and normal as all our other July's but so far- this summer is the best fall weather we have had in years!

I have no idea what is going on with the weather. I just know it is not like it once was.
Be careful out there- the new lightning is dangerous and hitting places it never hit before. As always pay attention to your surroundings and understand it is not the same world it use to be.

On Binnall of America: Great Stuff!!!!!

From the women at Binnall (me, Lesley, Richelle Hawks, Tina Sena, Lasha Seniuk and A.M. Murphy) we have:
Lesley's Grey Matters column: Dulce - Nothing is New, which addressed the point that, regardless of whether or not there is a government-alien base underground, there is a history of very weird events going on in the area, and have been going on for some time. Lesley also looks at cow mutilations, and recent theories about the cause.

Richelle Hawks has a great piece. Leave it to Richelle to make connections between fashion, Japanese culture, WWII, and Lolita: Occult Exchanges: Manga, Lolita Fashion, and the Bomb


The newest contributors to Binnall are A.M. Murphy, and I like her first two articles very much. Her recent column is titled Everything You Wanted to Know About Channeling (But Were Afraid to Ask) and Lasha Seniuk, her latest is Where Does Your Naga Hide? which, for many reasons, is an extremely cool and powerful article.

In fact, it seems that Binnall has given us the gift of not only esoteric writers, but spiritual writers. Reading Lasha and A.M. Murhpy, (and experiencing other events that I won't go into) I realized I do a lot of slightly embarrassed half-assed apologizing for my so-called New Age self, if you want to use that term. My insecurities and problem. No more. I've moved on a bit... more on that in future columsn for BOA, maybe. Who can say.

Tina Sena writes about The Way of the Sword, and in the piece, Tina has a very interesting take on the symbolism on The Tree of Life.

My latest is on a haunted hotel in the coastal town of Newport in Oregon at the unique Sylvia Beach Hotel.

Aside from us dames, there are other great contributors at Binnall; Richard Thomas, who writes a lot on sci-fi, his latest is A Sci Fi Worlds Interview with Richard Holland. Thomas brings us a lot real gems via Binnall of America.

There are other columns worth checking out that aren't regular, but archived, like Wrath of Joe and Khyron.

Binnall also offers free podcasts with incredible guests, be sure to listen. I'm glad his latest is with the Swedish UFO researcher Clas Svahn; I think the UFO research in the U.S. ignores UFO research from other countries for the most part. Nice to have this available, even though I haven't had time to listen to it yet! But hopefully I'll get to it tonight!

On Alien Seeker News: "Giant Crab From Space: Adventures in a Trance State"

I have a new article up at Alien Seeker News. Don, the editor/publisher, did a great job with the graphic, and addition of a YouTube video about Adamski. Giant Crab From Space: Adventures in a Trance State.

Playing in a Paranormal Park

I write many stories about my childhood. During that time I lived in an area that was full of strange events and unusual sightings. I lived on Long Island in New York along the shores of Great River.

During those years we endured UFO sightings, lost time events and creatures creeping around, and in our homes. To this day all of it remains unknown, yet all of it happened. I recently read of a man who claimed to have been abducted about one block away from where I lived. In fact it was directly in front of my good child hood friend George’s house. I haven’t told George what I found out yet. I guess he will find out upon reading this story. George reads all my stories!

Back to that paranormal community and the park that bordered it. A beautiful park, large in mass, covered a huge portion of the river where we lived. The river ran out to the Great South Bay and then directly into the Atlantic Ocean. We were a perfect pit stop for anything unusual as we were a direct line in from the ocean and sandwiched between two huge forested park lands. The only people around were the small community where I lived.

The kids all used the parks as our private play lands. We would picnic, play, and run wild along the paths and wooded areas of the park along the river. Rarely did you see adults, just a few kids from the neighborhood playing. I would often set up my Barbie dolls and all their outfits and play for hours under a huge willow tree in one of these parks. This willow tree was close to a small outlet branch of the River. In this outlet lived a swan family with a huge nest built upon a small sand bar in the outlet. I would play for hours; the swans would float about or sit in the nest. The world seemed to be a happy place for us all.

One hot summers day I packed up my dolls, my lunch, some comics and my friend Melinda for a long lazy afternoon under that willow in the park. We arrived about noon, had our picnic, read a few comics and then got into some serious Barbie doll play! All seemed well until it happened.

Melinda noticed it first. She stood up and looked towards the river outlet and said, “ What’s that?” She was pointing towards the swans. I looked over towards her out stretched finger to see a ray of light. I stood also. The moment I stood up the swans started to squeal in a strange frantic manner. I never saw them or heard them do anything like it before. The light was odd. It was a color I had never seen before, or since. It was a neon type green. It was very bright, so bright it hurt to look at it. I immediately felt fear. The rays were reversed. They seemed to be coming up from the river instead of down from the sky. The swans were flapping and trying to fly away but seemed so disoriented all they seemed to do was flap around and into each other.

I became terrified and dropped my dolls to the ground and whispered to Melinda, “ We have to get out of here” she backed towards me and started to reach down for our belongings. I took her hand and said “Leave them, we will get them later.” I held her hand and we both slowly started to move towards the path. We hardly breathed. We moved very slowly as not to draw any attention from that light to us. We were on the path and moving away from the tree and light when we heard a low crisp clicking sound. It was a sound I have heard again over my life but this was my first experience encountering it. It sounded like a mix of a water sprinkler that clicks across the lawn and then returns; you know that click click click-mixed with the sound of bugs on a hot summers night. That is the best I can explain it.

The sound was coming closer and closer, the ray of light fanning out larger and larger, we were heading carefully away down the path towards the bigger path and then hopefully to the exit of the park.

As the sound of that clicking moved closer towards us through the woods along the path adjacent to the water, we picked up our speed until we

were both at a full run.

The faster we ran the louder the clicking. The ray of light was expanding so I could now see it over the treetops. I ran so fast and so hard I felt as if my heart would explode. I was completely terrified. Melinda was right besides me, she was sobbing in fear as we ran.

I knew we could not make it back to the main exit and pulled Melinda towards the fenced part of the park, which lined up along a main road back into our community. We hit the fence at a full run and scaled it with the clicking right behind our every step. We flew over the fence and tumbled both onto the main road. A neighbor lady nearly ran us over as we fell into the road right in front of her car. She slammed on her brakes avoiding hitting us by only a few feet. She started to yell at us but soon realized we were crying and frightened half to death. We started to cry that something was following us in the park. She loaded us into her car and drove us to my house.

My parents and Melinda’s both called the police and told them of something or someone chasing us in the park. My father and Melinda’s Dad returned to the willow tree with the police to look around and collect our dolls and items we left behind.

Our Dads came home with some of our things but told us most of the doll items were missing or burned. It seems when they arrived at the willow tree they found a large area of the ground covered with burn marks. My Dad told us it looked as if someone had a large charcoal fire right where we were playing. A few doll dresses and items were burned and the rest were simply missing. The swans were gone as well, nest and all. The police were going to investigate this happening with the Park. The Park closed and did not reopen until the following year. It was due to close in a few weeks but they moved up the closing date.

My parents inquired many times with the police and Park about what happened that day. They brushed it off and tried to make it somehow our fault. They felt it was just silly kids causing a uproar. They even accused us of starting the fire. Thank goodness our parents never believed that for a moment. After that day our parents never let either one of us near that park again.

What happened that day in that park is anyone’s guess. I know it was an encounter with the unknown. I also know I did the right thing and ran for my life and Melinda’s life. I feel fear every time I think of that day. One day I may go back and look at that old willow tree one more time. Up until now I have not had the courage.

Always pay attention to your surrounding. If your gut feeling is that something is not quite right, heed your intuition. And always, always out run the clicking!

On Squidoo: Anima Esoterica

Visit my new Squidoo lens: Anima Esoterica.

Are We Jumping the Gun with Our Wanting to Know?

The entire world wants to know. Everyone wonders about life forms on other planets. We know many are intelligent and more advanced then earthlings. We know this as they are visiting us, and we are sitting here wondering if all those UFO’s are really there? Millions see them but still we wonder can this be true? Everyone wants to know are we really seeing crafts from another world? If so who is visiting us and where do they come from?

We search the Internet and we read the articles and reports of those who have seen or had contact with other life forms. We talk about it in places where no one important will hear us and shun any close and personal connection to the subject.

We either join in the laughter when topics like UFO’s or Aliens are brought up in open groups and behave badly towards those who may have had an encounter.

We can be brainwashed into being bullies and attack with ignorance what we do not understand. I am not sure why we do these things but we do. The one thing we do not do is use logic or look to increase our understanding of that which we do not know- yet we demand are the same creatures demanding disclosure. Sort of funny isn't it

How in the world can anyone think this society is ready for disclosure of subjects we are not even adult enough to openly discuss ?

How can we think this is possible when the only information found on subjects considered paranormal are on a few paranormal sites on the Internet or small TV series running weekly that dismiss as much as admit these things are occurring?

How can we ask for disclosure of earth shattering news when we are not able to think of or handle anything unknown in an intelligent manner? How can we anticipate expanding the unknown science of the paranormal into the world of known science when we cannot distinguish the events of space with that of fantasy,science fiction or entertainment?

Our news media will not touch any of these subjects. Our governments will not talk about these things. Our schools have nothing to do with these topics yet we think we are ready for it to be handed over full disclosure? Maybe I am confused but this certainly is not logical thinking.

Obviously the alien visitors do not want more contact. Trust me if they did we would have it. As it now goes is exactly how they wish it to be. Remember who is visiting whom and who can barely get off their own planet much less travel the cosmos.

Have you ever considered the fact that we as a planet could not defend our planet against anyone with the abilities to visit us? What could we do? Do you not think they could swat off our weapons and feeble methods of protection as if we were a annoying fly? Do you really think it would be a problem for those who can bend space or travel wormholes to defend against or over take us? Be honest here, do you really think we are ready as a civilization to take on the responsibility of dealing with advanced societies of beings we do not understand? Don’t you feel we would be far better to get our own act together on this planet before reaching out to others?

Our government’s only actions can be to keep this subject closed and to keep the visits controlled by going along with the alien’s agenda’s, not our need to know! What else can we do? Do you really feel we can have a say in things we completely do not understand? Really , who do you think is driving the alien agenda bus? I will give you a hint, it is not mankind and not human.

So here we sit, we earthlings, in the middle of the cosmos on a beautiful luscious globe called earth. We are new as an intelligent form of life compared to other parts of the universe with older globes and societies that may be millions of years older than ours. Here we sit, just walking out of the dark and we think we now should be out there messing in space. We should be given the secrets of space travel and ultimate energy. We humans who cannot stop killing one another or be trusted with the powers of our own planet and invention - we think we deserve to be handed over the energy advancements of the universe ? We can not be trusted with our own power, do you really think another life form would want to be involved with such a violent primitive species? We are nowhere ready to join our cosmic brothers, we can barely live among our own fellow humans. To hope for full disclosure so we can tap into the technology of those visiting us , well, the idea to me is really rather frightening. We need to grow up first.

I have been reading all kinds of things about how everyone demands it is time for us to know. I also read statements of drooling humans who talk about the desire they have to understand and be able to posses the technology and energy that those who visit us from vast distances must have in order to cross huge areas of space in crafts the size of large buildings at incredible speed. I say again giving mankind that knowledge in our present state of evolution is simply frightening. It would be a fast track to our complete devastation.

To be rather frank the idea of that being placed in the hands of the greedy, hate filled war like, killing dog humans that populate this beautiful planet is just terrifying. Can you imagine how quickly that information could be used to completely destroy not only this great planet but also every living creature on it? I have no great need to quench my curiosity about our visitors until we can become better beings. The day we stop killing each other in non-stop wars or self-inflicted civil unrest for me needs to come first. We need to be united before reaching out to the unknown.

Living in a world where so much hate penetrates our daily lives is not a time for reaching out to other civilizations we may not be able to handle.

As it stands we live on a planet that has one thing going for it that we can count on. War! We spend a great deal of our tax money, resources and thought concerning killing other earthlings. When we are not out right killing each other we spend our time in hate. Do I need to spell that scenario out for you? Simply hit any populated area at rush hour and jump on any busy highway system and just soak in the love! If this is not enough human behavior for you tune in one of the political driven talk or news shows, or visit an Internet chat room. The nature of the beast shows clearly in all these places.

If that has you confused look at the economy and think about the word greed! Am I making my point yet? If not lets talk world hunger, disease or climate and natural disasters. All of these things need work. Our work. They are all earth problems driven by and caused by the earth dwellers or mother earth’s natural cycles. The black and white of it is we do not have control of this planet; thinking of jumping the gun to other places and becoming involved with other beings for me is just a bit premature.

Lets think about the beings that do visit this planet from who knows where? We know nothing about them but the fact they are more advanced. We also can assume they have mastered the need for energy not only for their own planet but maybe their entire solar systems. The beings visiting us can master whatever energy source needed to either travel through the universe in methods we are too dumb to understand or to bend space and maybe even time. We are clueless but we are reckless and dangerous as the conditions on our planet have proven and off we go demanding we be told what we are not ready to handle…into the unknown- headfirst!

I think we need to straighten out our act here on earth before busting out into the cosmos. We do not have a stable planet. We do not have a stable society. We are too busy fighting each other to ever consider taking on the unknown. We cannot yet discuss these things without having them sadly mixed up with fantasy or considered a laugh factory. How about we get serious about how we feel about the topics of UFO visitation and alien visitors as a society before demanding disclosure. As it is a great deal of the public does not what to consider these things to be true, or will they discuss it. Lets tackle those roadblocks before unleashing the dam!

Who knows what type of hornets nest we may shake up reaching into the unknown when we have no ability to defend our planet from what we may find? How can we think anyone would give us the facts when most of us simply could not handle them? We have miles to go as a civilization before we can demand to take on that which we simply do not understand. Lets prepare and become a more cohesive population before inviting the uninvited unknown into our lives.

Look, I want to advance as much as everyone else. I want to know who and what all the beings are that visit and intermingle with many of us. I just think we have some work to do here on the home front before we jump into areas we are not ready to handle.

We have a beautiful planet. It is a water covered gorgeous planet full of a life. I am sure that is why we have so many visitors. I also know we are lightweights in the cosmos community and are at the mercy of those who are further along the universal path then we are.

Frankly I am a bit nervous about what we may find or reach out and draw to us at this point in time.

I know we are not yet able at this point in time to protect this planet and mankind from what we may find. I am not sure we are doing the correct thing by beaming out to space directions to our planet without knowing who or what we are inviting back! I think we are way to pushy and far too unprepared for what we are doing with our attempts to reach out and become involved with our universe and neighbors.

I would be far more comfortable knowing we were more stable as a planet, able to work together as a species before inviting unknown creatures here or sending them invites to our homes in the middle of the night!

I would be far happier if we could learn to live together and work and FIGHT together as a life form before reaching out to large advanced civilizations. I think we need to clean up, bulk up and smarten up our own planet before taking on advanced older more complex societies.

It may be a crazy idea but how about trying to deal with those earthlings that are having encounters with those who visit us in a more civil and scientific manner here on earth before jumping out to the stars? Lets place some of our black project and space exploration money into following up and helping those who have had sightings, been abducted or have had lost time events. How about we figure out what is happening here on earth by those who are visiting before we jump the gun. How about we try to improve in an open intelligent way contact with those many of us do encounter? How about becoming beings that are better then the violent killing greedy monsters we appear to be? How about the best of mankind tries hard to reach the rest of mankind so we can be worthy of joining the universal community?

I know what I am writing today will make many people very angry. I understand that we all want to know who and what it is many of us see. I understand that our curiosity is eating at many who simply really want to know what is going on. I too want answers. I too have questions however I am far more nervous about taking on what we cannot handle.

I have seen unknown crafts. I have had lost time events since I have been a small child. I have suffered and I do understand a great deal about other beings and the unknown subject of advanced life forms and our part in our relationship with them.

My opinion is that we need to grow to the point we can deal with these subjects in open adult like ways before reaching out for more information in this area. I know we need to advance as beings before taking on the involvement with those visiting us. I do not know what else to do but try to reason with those I can and warn those I cannot. In the matter of the paranormal and other life forms visiting this planet. I beg of you. Do not bite off more than you can chew. This planet is not ready.

On Trickster's Realm: "Newport, Oregon: A Haunted Hotel?"

My Trickster's Realm column is up on Binnall of America, and this week I write about the wonderful and unique Sylvia Beach Hotel, and my experience walking around the haunted building. Newport, Oregon: A Haunted Hotel?

Be Careful What You Wish for and Who You Invite Into Your Home in the Dead of Night!

If you consider the billions of stars that have billions of planets in the vast galaxies of the universe you can sort of figure out there are a few good chances not only that we have visitors from other places but most likely multi kinds of different life species visiting this planet.

In this universe there seems to be a positive and negative to all things. Dark and light, matter and antimatter, good and evil- you get the idea. I am sure this average of things follows along with other beings in this cosmos. I am sure just as on this planet with earthlings that there are good and bad aliens having both good and bad intentions towards others sharing the same universe.

Look at earth and the humans. We cannot get along on our own planet. I am sure for many others who may have evolved to a point of growth where they do not kill each other -our planet is extremely primitive. I am sure there are areas of the universe where solar systems exist that work and live in harmony. I also think there are areas that contain creatures as violent and ruthless as humans. I think we all exist, all are part of the big picture and we humans are simply not smart enough yet to understand it all.

With the warm weather coming in my part of the world I have been hearing whispers of plans of those who are interested in the subject of UFO’s and aliens making plans to gather together and go UFO hunting.

I think that keeping a watchful eye on the sky is a good thing to do. In fact I think if you watch long enough you will without question see something unknown and unexplained.

I also have heard about those who want to alone or in a group try to attract aliens so they can have a visit with them.

This is where I become concerned and this is where I have to drop my two cents down on the idea of calling out to the unknown with open arms.

I have been told about groups planning to meet on beaches, along open fields, in mountain ranges- all with the intention of drawing aliens to them. I have been told of groups planning to use group telepathic methods, all the way to using codes or flashes of light . I understand the over whelming desire to want to know the unknown but I also know that these practices are not safe in fact could be very dangerous.

Going back to my understanding of how this universe seems to be set up I will remind you that as sure as you are that there are aliens visiting us with good intentions there are also those who simply do not care one way or the other about our needs or desires and even others who would scoop you up to never be seen again.

I wonder if those who are inviting the unknown into their lives also open up all the windows in their house, throw all the doors open – unlocked before going to bed?

I wonder how many of the people reaching to alien contact simply open up their homes, cars, kids rooms, older parents houses, and leave it to fate to see who walks into their lives? Chances are a neighbor you know may wander by, or a nice guy who likes to collect ant farms. Maybe a number of nice lovely people will end up sitting in your living room however chances also may be you find a deranged, deadly dangerous wild man or a distraught woman who enjoys hanging kittens sitting on the end of your bed!

It would be a dangerous crazy thing to keep a open home offered to anyone who passes and it is a dangerous thing to invite other species from the unknown into your life without proper precautions.

I am curious on how you can tell what kind of alien you are hailing? What makes humans think that only the good ones will answer their call? How do you know what will respond to such invitations? What is your plan to deal with something from the unknown that you may find standing in front of you on a lonely beach, road or hilltop that may not be friendly or kind?

I know that many types of intelligent life forms had to develop throughout the universe. I also am aware we are on the lower level of the intelligent being ladder. As I always tell my fellow earthlings, before you feel all knowing and powerful remember who is visiting whom!

I am sure among the many forms of intelligent life in our universe many are kind benevolent beings curious to what we are doing on our planet. I read once that during an alien encounter a woman asked the alien standing before her what they thought of what we humans were doing to our planet. She claims the alien answered “It isn’t what your doing to your planet that concerns us as much as what your doing to each other!”

I think that aliens are not humans. I think humans need to stop giving aliens human qualities and characteristics that belong to the human species. I encounter time after time groups of humans who try to mold aliens and alien intentions into human behavior or emotions. Humans can no more expect an alien to think, act of feel about life as a human does as we can figure out what they think or feel or accept as normal.

Simply understand an Alien is NOT a human – so stop thinking and wanting to treat them that way.

Aliens may not grasp pain, or love or intrusion of personal space, or the idea that being taken against ones will is wrong. Aliens may not understand humans need to eat and have water requirements daily or that giving birth is painful. Aliens may not relate to mothers loving and wanting their own babies or families living together. Aliens may have no idea of personal choice or will – aliens are not humans so do not anticipate your meeting one will fit in with any human like agenda you have concluded in your wish to visit with one. Encounters with aliens are encounters with those we know nothing about who are not human. You must understand that. Be it good or bad you are not going to meet a perfected human you are going to meet something non-human.

I am aware I have said these things many times before however I am also aware that many simply refuse to use logic and common sense in this area and continue to spin fantasy and want before reason and safety when it comes to other life forms. Wanting something is one thing- being logical and based in reality when dealing with the unknown is another. Do not confuse your love for a fantasy world presented via Hollywood and many fanciful media outlets as fact. Fact is staring dead into black eyes of a unknown creature and having no idea what to do.

Knowing our cosmic neighbors can, will and for many already have been a wonderful adventure. It is a step on the way to belonging to our universal community for the human species.

I think this part of the growth in galactic belonging for humans needs to be handled with care and slowly as we are so vulnerable to those able to visit us while we sit stuck on our own planet.

It is only recently we earthlings have even thought about reaching past our own globe. We are being watched as we struggle but we are far from equal to those who visit and watch our progress.

The main thing we need to remember is that just because our visitors are technically advanced and older than our species that does not mean they are kind god like creatures with only our best intentions in mind. We have no idea what they think of what or us they intend to do with or about us!

It is obvious as it stands we are at the will and mercy of those visiting us. It is also obvious that there is more than one type of being visiting us. It is fair to say we are completely ignorant to whom these visitors are and who are ones we should cozy up to and which ones we should be careful in dealing with. As it stands we are clueless to these things.

Just as it is unlikely you are going to throw open your doors and windows in the dark of night while sending out inviting messages to who ever may wish to enter your home it is unwise to call out to other beings inviting them into your world, lives and homes.

Just as it would be dangerous to do among your fellow humans it is dangerous to do among your fellow cosmic neighbors. Can you be sure the nice guy down the street will show up with his wife and kids or the crazed serial ax murderer who has been hiding in the forest for the last 15 years? How would you know?

It also needs to be mentioned that it would be far easier once you did find yourself in a difficult position to defend against the ax murderer as I am positive you would have no defense against our technically advanced universal visitors.

I realize everyone wants to know the truth. I understand the world is now starting to look past its own borders of this planet and wants to expand into this huge universe we belong to. I get it that we are anxious and really curious but people- you need to do this with intelligence and care.

I look at it this way. When we are ready as a species of beings we will be introduced openly to those who visit us. As we stand, well we need a bit more work before we are cleaned up enough to meet the neighbors.

With the new cycles of the galaxy, solar system and our alignment in them comes the road to the end of times for many things on this earth. We will see changes and hard days ahead as well as the end of a dark period of hate and violence as we enter a new more balanced lighter time.

As we go down this road of the end of one cycle and the start of another we will all have choices to make about how we will live, think, behave and evolve. I think once we find our roads and begin anew we will then be on our way to joining others who also are living and experiencing this universe along with us.

Until then, be careful whom you invite home to meet the family and please be careful out there. There are many beings out there in this universe and we are just one small part of it. Walk softly and slowly down your unknown roads. It is better to see the path clearly then to jump without care off the cliff.

A.M. Murphy: New BOA Contributer

Tim Binnall's Binnall of America has a new writer: A.M. Murphy, who has a great first article for her "Not Always So" column. In her first column -- Perilous Objects and Ghostly Handprints:
Women in Esoterica -- Murphy discusses women in esoteric research. While it's obvious that women have always been in the background of UFO, paranormal and Fortean studies, a subtle contradiction is at work. Women have always been firmly entrenched in esoterica; some could say the anima is of that world, hence, the on-going war from the male view against the "divine feminine." Murphy writes:

Women are still not well-represented among UFOlogists or cryptozoologists, but our leadership in the esoteric field literally goes back to prehistory. We belong here.

Graham Hancock writes about female handprints that appear in shamanic cave art from 30,000 years ago, at the very dawn of human consciousness. In the caves at Delphi, generations of female oracles are believed to have squatted over a rift in the rock, inhaling hallucinatory gases that wafted up from the belly of the earth. The Delphic oracles were routinely consulted by heads of state, as was a Biblical prophetess named Deborah who literally led 10,000 men to victory in battle.

Murphy goes on to cite more examples, following a history beginning with cave paintings to the present, along with the still very much present intent of many cultures and religions to virtually annihilate the feminine within the esoteric.

Incredible Encounter with a Feeding UFO or Something Far More Dangerous!

I have a life long friend I have known since I am 6 years old. He remains my friend to this day. He is a great guy who is a levelheaded family man with lots of friends who is well liked in his community here on Long Island New York.

I noticed that my friend would always make it a point to ask about what I was writing or investigating and always listened with care. He never showed any interest in the paranormal before yet now always showed interest in my work. I never thought much about it until recently.

My friend called me and insisted we meet for lunch to ‘catch up’. Again I did not think much about it as we have been friends for a lifetime and shared many lunches. During lunch my friend asked me three times about the stories and articles on my site. I was a bit surprised, as I did not realize he was a loyal reader. We talked about a few of my UFO stories while we ate our lunches.

With lunchtime over we headed for the parking lot where my friend took me by the arm and said “ Wait Chris- I have something I want to tell you, something I never talked about before with anyone.” I thought my friend was having some type of life problem and we walked down the street until we found a private empty bench to sit so he could tell me what was wrong.

I plopped myself down next to him on the bench and said, “So, what is this all about?” He looked at me so seriously I immediately knew this was something very important and turned my mood to fit his and said” Oh, this is serious, I am here and all ears, tell me what is wrong?”

My old friend then told me what I consider to be one of the biggest and most important sighting encounters I have ever heard. Clearly this is a huge story for the area where I live and this friend the last person on earth I would have ever thought would tell it to me!

The encounter happened while my friend and two of his friends were setting up for a hunting trip located towards the end of Long Island. It was a habit for this group of men to drop off supplies and items they did not want to carry all day at points they used to rest and eat while off on one of these pre-planned days in the woods trapping and hunting. A few men would set up for the day before the day’s events started. This is what he told me, while sitting on that bench:

“It was years ago, about 1995. I was out setting up for a big hunt we were going to have with a group of guys early that day. It was me and two buddies of mine. We went out about 2 in the morning to drop off traps and other things we were going to use during the days hunting trip. We arranged to have about four other men meet us out further on the Island (east end of Long Island) about 4 a.m. We were going to set up some stuff as we planned to end up at this point where we were leaving stuff in the woods. My one buddy was a retired phone man and knew the right of ways used by the utility companies and had a good sense of the woods in the area where we were dumping our supplies for the day.

It was a crystal clear fall night. There was a small community of houses to the left of the road we parked our pickups and a huge wooded area following the electric main towers through the woods on the right. All and all the area, but for that small group of houses, was pretty isolated. We all had hunted in this area before and were familiar with it.

The three of us packed up the gear we needed to carry out to our meeting point later that day and started our trek following the right of way out into the woods. We were taking it slow as it was night but we felt secure as we had a bright moon and a star lit sky. Just before we headed out my one buddy pointed over to the group of houses and pointed to the street lights and lights in some of the houses. We all looked, as they seemed to dim out and then come back and dim out again. We hoped they would not blackout, as we would then be joined with a bunch of electric company guys out in the woods, as there was a large transformer station out there. We knew if they showed up we would have to leave.

We stood for a while watching the lights flicker on and off. They seemed to do this every few seconds. We decided to high tail it out to our planned spot and try to get there and back before the electric company came around so our plans to meet the other guys would not be ruined. We packed up the rest of our gear and took off down the right of way along the side of the high-voltage electric wire towers.

We were about half way to our destiny out in the woods when we approached a intersection ahead of us of the transformer big electric company towers, a huge radio station tower and a high cell tower all in one group.

As we approached this area my buddy that worked for the telephone company pointed up towards the top branches of the trees ahead and said – what the heck is that? We all looked and saw what looked like a pencil thin laser blue like light shinning along the tree line. At first we thought it was from the poles, tress, or maybe the wires or transformer. I told my buddies that must be what is going on with the flickering lights back there by the houses.

We kept walking towards the center of the grouping of towers until we could see clear of the trees. The three of us saw it all at once. We all stopped walking at once, as if we practiced stopping like that for weeks, it was so exact and on the spot. We stopped all together lined up shoulder to shoulder and saw what we could not believe we were seeing.

Ahead of us over the group of towers, we could see the laser light was coming straight down from the sky. We followed the light up and could clearly see a huge black round saucer shaped craft hovering silently over the towers. The thin light attached to the wires and pole. There was no sound no movement just this light drinking or doing something with the towers and wires. The thing was huge as when you looked up at it the entire sky was blocked out but for the massive shape of the craft. Around the borders of the craft you could see the night with all its stars and moonshine, however this massive black ship blocked out an enormous area while it sucked from the wires with its long thin light.

Not one of us moved. We did not speak or dare to blink. Finally one of us, I think it was me, slowly turned and motioned to my buddies to be quiet and slowly back track exactly the way we came in. We slowly and carefully moved away from this huge craft until we were far enough from it to feel we could run. We made it back to our trucks to see the lights in the adjacent neighborhood still flickering and blacking out. As we packed up our gear to leave we saw a huge glow and at once the houses and streetlights were back to full power. We knew the thing had finished its meal or whatever it was doing!

We drove to an all night diner to discuss what happened to us over a hot cup of coffee. I wanted to call the police and report it. My one buddy did not know what he wanted to do but the other guy; he was just plain terrified and wanted us to swear we would never tell anyone what we had just seen. The more we discussed it the more terrified he seemed to get. This guy was an old buddy of mine so I relented and agreed to keep silent about it.

The years went by and it always bothered me I never talked about this. I knew we had seen something incredible. I kept my word thou and never talked about it as I had promised my pal.

A few years ago I heard my friend had passed away. About a year after that I ran into the other man I shared this experience with. I told him I had enough silence and was going to tell you about it. And today I decided it was time to do it, and so here we sit on this bench with my gabbing my guts out.”

I had not said one word during the entire story my friend had just told me. I knew he had just told me one of the greatest UFO experiences I had ever heard. He witnessed a craft using our power system and lived to tell about it. I reached over and touched his arm and told him it was a fantastic sighting and encounter and that I knew every word was true. I could not believe he walked around all this time and never told anyone of that night. My friend is such a loyal man. The fact he had such an incredible encounter did not shake his oath to his friend. He did not talk of it until his pal had passed on. He kept his word.

I was really fascinated by this and thought back to how many other times we had unexplained black outs, brown outs and flickering lights. I also realized that this craft went dark, no lights as it lowered itself to feed or do its deed off of the wires. I wondered how many times crafts like this are right above our heads with out our even realizing it?

I was confused as to what the UFO was doing as it linked into the grove of wires and towers out in the hidden woods. At first I thought it might have been drawing from the lines in a feeding fashion. I thought this rather odd as I would think our energy abilities would be very primitive to a society who was able to visit us from places we do not even know exist. I did not know what to make of this sighting and decided to make plans to talk with a few friends that work in science and tell them about this encounter.

I called the smartest people I have ever known for advice on this encounter. The first person I talked to is a man who is brilliant physicist. I told him word for word what my friend had told me. He sat and looked at me a while before answering. He then told me what almost what the others told me as well. Besides this friend I also contacted two geniuses I know. One is a scientist and the other an International Business person. Both are considered geniuses of our time who I have been blessed to call my friends.

I was fascinated and stunned to be told by all three the same thing! None of the men thought this craft was feeding at all. In fact they all felt that this craft was putting IN data- not taking anything out! All of them also added in a matter of fact way that “of course they were also taking all the data that was being transmitted out through the lines as well”.

I was both frightened and stunned at what I was being told. The paramount understanding of what I was being told really knocked me for a loop! Had my friend witnessed not only a craft not from our earth downloading material into the very lifelines of our society while uploading all our private personal information? Was what we talked about, looked at on our computers and viewed on our TV’s be collected while information they wanted in those same places was being transmitted in? The idea of this really shook me to my very soul!

I was told that it most likely a case of catching the UFO placing in data that could and would be easily transmitted into the lines cables and communication systems found at that location. The question is what type of data where they feeding into our lives? My one friend the physicist told me he thought it possible that we were being feed messages of some type of control or illusion via the wires into our televisions, computers, even phone and radios that are in every home in America, and in fact most homes on the entire worlds surface. It certainly gave new meaning to the term boob tubes for our televisions! He also mentioned that he noticed many cases of blackouts and power failures associated with sightings as a constant all over the world. He felt that they may over work our tired infrastructures while downloading the data they want to spread among us causing these reoccurring outages.

My one friend added as we parted “ I think you walked into something very big with this one dear. I think those men walked into one of the biggest stories going and one that has most likely been going on since we primitive beings invented the wires that hook into each and every home office and building on earth!” I must say I found this stunning and terrifying. Might we all be being feed daily doses of whatever aliens wish to interject into our lives via our wires and communication and entertainment devices?

It would certainly give us something to consider in a society that so many label as sheepal and controlled by the media. How horrifying to think we may be dosed with messages or be monitored by other beings while sitting in the safety of our own homes, or we thought were safe!

One of the men I spoke to mentioned that he considered the three men who experienced this event to be very lucky. He mentioned events like that of the Canadian Wilderness Story when what appeared to be an Alien creature seemed to be watching the man who owned the land where a light craft was seen. As that man took a photo of the craft a creature was noticed at the tree line holding what looked to be some kind of weapon.

It is felt that the three men who witnessed this encounter with the towers and wires were very lucky they had not been detected by those piloting that craft, as if they had been seen they may have never made it back out of those woods! I also agree my good friend had a very close very dangerous encounter that night.

I am not sure what took place that night or what that UFO was doing with its beam into that grove of wires, cell tower and radio transmitting location. I do know it was done in the woods, in the middle of the night, and for sure not a good thing for the people of Long Island.

All I can do is thank my friend for telling us all this extreme experience. I for one will increase my awareness of the night and what is around, above and over me. I also want to remind my readers that my friend did the things that may have saved him and his friends lives. They slowly without drawing attention removed themselves from the area as fast as they could without being seen. They then got far away from the area and to an area with people and lights. Remember that safety is the first rule when dealing with a sighting or any paranormal event.

I think my friend had an extremely amazing experience in the woods that night. I will never forget what he has told me. I thank him for allowing me to be the one to tell his story. I think this story strongly enforces the fact that we are not alone out there!

(Karyn Dolan)
I'll be talking with Karyn Dolan on her "Through the Keyhole" podcast this Friday night, 5:00pm PST. I'm looking forward to it! I had a great time visiting with Karyn and Richard at the McMinnville UFO Festival last year (Richard was the main presenter) and it'll be fun to visit with Karyn again. Karyn is also a contributor to Women Of Esoterica.

Just for Fun: A Little Bear Synchronicity

I had a dream about tigers and bears the night before last. In the dream, I was me, in the present, but living in the house I grew up in in California. Jim was there with me and my mother and siblings; typical dream like logic, it was both then and now. The only difference in the landscape of the place was the backyard, while looking the same, was much bigger, a couple of acres.

Someone just drops by and gives me a few tigers, and a few brown bears. The bears were grizzly like, but not grizzlies. Both animals were very sweet, just doing their thing, everyone got along. The animals weren't adults yet, varied in sizes and age, but all were young, to varying degrees. While they seemed to be having a good time, I was worried about a few things.

Feeding them, for one. I was kind of getting by feeding them cat food and scraps but knew this wasn't healthy for them. I was concerned about the expense. I was very concerned about the time when, as they grew, they'd realize they could eat each other; I was worried the bears would attack the tigers, or the tigers would attack the bears. I was't judging the animals for this, it was simply their nature, but still . . . and I was worried about their well being. Cooped up in a small place like this, not good for them. They needed lots of room.

So I call the Fish and Wildlife guy to come get them, but I make it every clear the animals were not to be harmed in any way! If he was going to kill them, forget it. He assured me no such thing would happen, but did want to know who gave the animals to me, since it was illegal. I told him I wasn't a fink and I wasn't going to say.

He takes the animals, and they're fine, much happier.

I wake up, feeling good about the dream but intrigued -- what the hell did all that mean? Then I visit Lesley's Debris Field blog, which I do first thing every morning, and find she had a dream about bears the same night!

Then I go into work, and find the bear story still out; I had planned to read it Friday but my sub didn't have time to get to it, so it was the first thing I saw on the table; a big glossy picture of a bear!

The End of one Cycle the Start of Another

Conversations – Being Ready for 2012

During the last year I have read a great deal of material concerning what may happen to this earth and the earthlings on it over the period of time known as 2012.

I have talked to many of those who have theories about or study the science behind the fears of the 2012 time period.

My conclusions and those of my family are that we feel something not only is going to take place, but have already actively begun on this earth.

Look at the great storms and natural disasters that have already been hitting this earth causing loss of life and destruction from China to California. It seems something is hitting, burning, or erupting all over the earth at a rather regular cycle.

I know from simply being alive that climate change is a part of our world. I also know we are living in a time of hostile hatred and constant threat of the next world war.

Add into these things the fact we are now due for cycle changes in the alignment of our planets, solar eruptions that will knock out our communications and power and we seem to be far from the light at the end of the tunnel. I would say we are about half way into the tunnel with the most difficult part of the journey yet to come.

I have not mentioned pole flips or many of the other items I could to the list of what is due and natural to come at this time in our cycle of things. Nature does what nature does be it on this planet, or in this solar system or in this universe. The cycles ride and flow and begin and end and we have no choice but to ride along and survive the best we can as nature does it thing.

The good news is that all of these things have happened before and all these things will happen again. Knowing that the earth is still here tells me the earth will continue to stand once again as it flows along with all the changes of the solar system line up and the actions of the sun. This will go on until our sun dies and that is not due to happen for billions of years.

Mankind is here. Mankind was alive the last time we had many of these cycle changes and mankind will survive this one too. I did not say every single human here today will make it through the rough times ahead, I said mankind will survive as it did when the earth went through the growing or aging pains it is now going to enter into again.

We will sadly see many perish as we have in the last Tsunami or earthquakes. We will have people die in war and hate, we will have problems when we are tossed into darkness by hitting solar flares and may even see hunger, fighting and natures storms thin out the masses. It is sad, it is likely to occur and it is real.

It also is apparent that as we enter the new cycles of nature and leave the old- mankind feels a pull of darkness and despair. This darkness before the new dawn seems to have the inhabitants of this planet acting in extremely dangerous ways, which may add to the loss of life that can occur during these natural cycle changes coming at this planet.

This is really difficult to talk about as so much of what is happening, and which may happen, could be handled if we joined together and worked as one with nature through out these coming events. Of course the time for that joint venture is basically behind us. We seem instead to have set our path ahead with blind eyes and ignorance.

Right now this very day you can ask those around you if they have thought about or prepared for the probable problems that the next few years may bring to us? I will tell you the response you will receive before you even ask that question. Most will laugh at you, call you names, and try to make you the fool. Humans do not like to discuss that which they do no understand. It is the earthling’s way to attack, that which is unknown until it is shoved like a brick wall in front of them.

Of course these are the same people who have no idea what 2012 means or have any knowledge on the changing universal cycles coming our way not to mention changes in our sun, which will directly concern us with power and communication problems.

My family and I have never been ones to leave things to chance. We would rather be ready and not need what we have then in trouble and finding we have to fight for survival. For us being prepared is far easier.

I spoke with a group of people who have been studying the sun and cycles of our solar system and asked them what they were doing privately as they are the people who have the first hand information on the events heading towards us.

I had two ideas of how they would respond. I thought a few would tell me they have yet to do anything at all. I truly believed at least one of two would give me that answer. I also thought I may be told they were taking precautions similar to getting ready for a bad storm. Canned goods, a few extra supplies, that sort of thing.

I was told by everyone I questioned on the matter of the world changes that are due to occur that they ALL were far more prepared then I would have ever imagined. They all were going to have three weeks to three months food and life needing supplies at hand. They all had alternate heat sources of either gas or wood or both to keep warm and cook and boil water, and they all had short wave radios. I was told if our communications and electric grid goes down the only way to know what is going on in this world will be by way of short wave radio’s. Sadly I was also informed that they all had some form of protection against others at hand.

I must admit I was shaken hard into reality as I spoke with those I asked. Most of the people I asked were quiet intellectual type people and hearing the words of survival spoken from them with the detail and seriousness they talked to me concerning this subject – made me clearly understand I had to prepare too for what may come.

I felt it my human obligation to say my part on this subject to those who take the time to read what I write. I do not want to be an alarmist but on the other hand I would die of guilt if I did not at least say something on this subject so others out there may have the chance to look into or maybe prepare for what may be heading towards us over the next few years to come. You can always chalk me up to being a fool or laugh at me. I would rather have you do that then for me to say nothing and know if that day comes- that you needed to be warned and prepared- and I did not speak out. So to live with myself I am writing this essay on what may be coming this way hoping you too consider preparing for the worst of times yet hope for the best instead.

I would think it a well-known subject by this point in time, 2012, but to my amazement many still do not understand it. I mentioned the fact that many world cycles and events are due to hit our planet like pole flip and solar flares in one of those big Internet chat rooms a few days before deciding to write this article. I wanted to see just how much if anything the average public knew or thought about this subject. That is when I knew that it was not really understood or talked about at all outside of the paranormal world.

When I tried to explain that we could lose our power grid the people responded by telling me they would use their computers to find out what was going on. I guess they do not realize that computers, TV’s, radios, cell phones, land line phones, every single thing you plug in, street lights, red lights, all will be gone with we lose the power grid. I was stunned at how I was ignored and felt very sorry for so many who may walk into the unknown of our future completely unprepared. During this experiment of bring up 2012 in an area that did not typically discuss these things a man did make a very snide remark to me that there were always smoke signals that he could send out. Everyone had a good laugh and I realized I was wasting my time with this particular group of people.

I did find it almost astounding that the very next day that the smoke signal comment was made I found an article on the Internet that told of a study researching Navajo smoke signals! It was suggested to me that having knowledge of these things might not be such a bad idea when being faced with a sudden collapse of our modern day communication systems. I will include the link to this article at the bottom of this page.

I often wonder if the increased sightings and showing of their existence the past few years by other visiting life forms is due to the fact they understand what is coming and are watching over areas of the cosmos to ride the changing cycles along with us. I would love to know what involvement with our governing powers really includes knowledge being received by way of our visitors?

I also wonder if these coming events and earth changes are related somehow to those large encampments being built all over the country. I often wonder about many things I do not understand. It is what keeps me alert for that which I can understand and keeps me one foot closer to moving along the road of the unknown.

I do not think for a moment nor did any of the people of science I spoke to that we are coming to the end of time or life on this planet. In fact I have a personal problem with those who use this for their own agenda’s and proclaim nothing but doomsday and death when discussing 2012 when it fits more closely into natural cycles and seasons of the universe.

My opinion is simply we may be headed for a few rough spots in the road that we need to prepare for. I think mankind and the earth have traveled this road before and we both will to do it again. We may need to buckle up while the ride gets a bit bumpy but if prepared this too will all pass.

In my private life my family and I have taken measures to secure for what may come with supplies and heat sources and a short wave radio. Whatever we feel we may need we will do. We look at it this way, if we need it we are ready, if not we have nothing really to lose as there are always storms or black outs so nothing will go to waste. I would rather in this case be safe rather than sorry. It is the old wisdom of I would rather have it and not need it rather then need it and not have it.

What ever you decide is your own life choice. I simply needed to take this time to offer this warning so I can soundly sleep at night knowing I did.

May we never need a thing we prepare for, this I will pray for us all.

UFOs, Hauntings, Witches -- To Believe or Not to Believe?

The other night I interviewed paranormal researcher Mark Nesbitt on my internet radio show, and I was struck by the number of times Mark described phenomena that occur in haunted areas around Gettysburg, PA (his area of expertise), that sounded familiar to me because I had heard of something similar in UFO cases.

His account of an area on the Gettysburg battlefield, known as the Triangular Field, was the most striking to me. He told me that cameras don't work while in that field. They work fine before entering the field, and after leaving it, but not while they're there. This applies to tourists' hand-held digital cameras, to older 35 mm still cameras, and even to TV and movie cameras that have been brought in for interviews.

If you've read many accounts of UFO encounters, you've probably come across mention of a car that suddenly went dead -- not just stalled, but lost all power completely -- while a UFO was in close proximity, only to come to life again after the object moves away. I don't know what causes it, and I'm sure there are many people reading this now who have a good idea of how the electromagnetic fields could be affecting the cars; but it makes me wonder if something similar is going on in these haunting cases.

There's a lot of buzz around right now about the question -- just what are UFOs? What exactly are the beings who are controlling these craft that are flying around, landing, and interacting with people? Jacques Vallee postulated years ago that they are not extraterrestrial, but are actually the same beings that humans in ages past, referred to as demons, angels or fairies.

Humans who interacted with fairies often reported missing time. This is where the famous Rip Van Winkle story came from. Humans who interact with UFOs and their occupants also frequently report missing time, though usually in terms of hours rather than days or even years. (Have the other beings refined their ability to return humans more closely to the time they came from?)

Fairies were said to leave circular marks on the ground, said to be either the physical trace of their dwelling or the marks of their dancing in circles. Later, more scientifically-minded people suggested that the circular marks in the grass were actually physical signs of an infestation of a particular fungus. (Readers of Graham Hancock's work on shamanism and the use of various mushrooms and other plants to achieve contact with the spirit world will prick up their ears at this as well.) UFOs have been known to leave circular physical traces on the ground; sometimes nothing will grow on that spot again. Look into Ted Phillips' research on the Delphos case for more details on this.

Interestingly, the idea of a plot of land where "nothing ever grew again" was often linked with witches. Either the site where a witch died or where she was buried was said to become barren. Anthropologist Margaret Murray linked European witchcraft with the fairy legends in her book, "The God of the Witches." She postulated that witches were humans who interacted with fairies and learned from them, celebrated with them, and formed a living bridge between humans and fairies -- just like the shamans described in Graham Hancock's latest book, Supernatural. Many modern pagans also study and use shamanistic techniques to contact the spirit world and receive divine guidance.

The interesting thing to me is that many people won't make this connection, because a lot of UFO researchers won't look at paranormal phenomena, and vice versa. This is very unfortunate, because it seems to me that some valuable information is being ignored, and that it will only delay our understanding these phenomena.

I used to work in a cancer treatment center, where a lot of experimental trials were being conducted. I saw some of the paperwork that had to be completed -- complete patient histories, and I mean COMPLETE. Nothing could be left out, no matter how small a detail, because we just didn't know what would have an effect on the patient's condition or on their treatment. Every available detail of their daily life had to be captured and recorded, so that later, other people could go over all the reports and look for patterns. This is how we should be conducting UFO and paranormal research.

At this stage, we can't afford to be excluding anything. It all has to be collected and recorded by the field investigators, and then others need to look over all of the reports and watch for anything that crops up repeatedly. Fortunately, there are several people doing just this kind of work these days, but there are still many who refuse to accept the validity of more than a very narrow line of research. This, to my mind, is like researching the causes of cancer by looking only at what a patient eats, and excluding questions about leisure activities (such as smoking) or work conditions (such as exposure to asbestos.) Sure, you'll come up with a few answers, but you'll miss so many more.

Of course, it has to be repeated that we can't accept everything we hear as truth without checking into it. What I'm saying is that we need to be willing to look at more of the information that's being reported, to investigate it as we would any other piece of evidence, and to prove or disprove it rather than just dismissing it because it sounds too unbelieveable. Let's face it, folks, everything in this field sounds unbelievable at first. One's ability to consider and examine the facts is a reflection of one's own level of awareness of the depth of mysteries in this world. The more outrageous things you see existing in the world, the more you realize the unbelievable could just be true. And you realize just how little we humans really know about the world around us.

And that's where the fun is. That's when you see the world as a fascinating, mystical, incredible place and you marvel at being a part of it. You want to understand your place in it, and to start meeting the other denizens of this universe, this dimension, and others. I saw a comment on another blog that put it incredibly well -- "...open-minded questioning is about imagination and possibility...the UFO is an invitation to expand our consciousness." I would add that psychic and paranormal phenomena also offer us such invitations.

I accept.

Family Lines of Those Taken and Confused Events of the Unknown

Talking to abductees and lost time encounter people you find similar threads that seem to run along the stories. For a long time we all have been aware that abductions and lost time events tend to occur in family lines. You will often find that a few members of one family have experienced unknown events. These family lines can follow generations having members continue in the line of those who have been taken or encountered lost time events for decades if not longer.

I know two sisters who live on Long Island New York. Both sisters have had paranormal events occur since their childhoods. Both sisters have suffered lost time events; and both have suffered physical problems after their events.

One sister has been abducted about four times during her lifetime. The other recalls only two. They are interesting people who do not openly talk about their encounters nor do they look for attention in any way due to their experiences.

Recently I spent the afternoon with both sisters. During our time together we talked about how experiences of the unknown seem to follow along family lines.

The sisters told me that their father was clearly an abductee who lived his entire life time never figuring it out!

The sisters had known of his plight since they were young children but knew that their father was terrified of the idea of UFO's and Aliens. The family never dared to suggest to him that all his highly unusual experiences were most likely connected exactly to what he feared most.

Now they realize that their Dads extreme fear of UFO's and Alien visitors came from what he had been experiencing his entire life. His denial concerning these things was his way of rejecting any connection to him and that, which terrified him. Their dad lived his lifetime giving other explanations to the strange events he encountered.

The sisters told me the story of their father’s experiences, which started in his life around the age of 14.

He was working on a barge during his 14th summer as a water boy for a bridge building construction project off the Ocean coast of Long Island. The year was 1931.

One summer’s night he somehow was left on the barge over night when the construction crew forgot to wait for him and returned to the mainland without him.

The man (who was a boy at the time) sat alone in a shed type covering trying to sleep until morning when the work crew would return. He told his daughters that as he sat looking at the night sky he noticed a big ball of light coming across the ocean towards the barge. He did not know what it was and crawled as far into the only covering he had to try to protect himself against what he thought might be a approaching rain and lightning storm.

He only recalled a blinding strike of light from that point forward. The next thing he recalled was waking the next morning lying out on the open deck of the construction barge.

His shirt was gone and he was cold and sore all over his body. He had a small burn on his back but otherwise seemed to be ok. He was sick and threw up over and over.

When the construction crew arrived they listened to the half naked boy standing before them with the burn on his back, still vomiting and decided he had been hit by lightning.

The men decided the lightning must have burned his shirt right off of his body. They gave him a buttered role and cup of coffee and told him he could rest until they were ready to leave that night. The man slept that day on the barge and returned to the mainland that night with the work crew. No one seemed to be concerned or consider any other explanation besides lightning for what had happened to the boy that night alone out in the Atlantic Ocean.

The sisters father accepted that explanation and often told people the story of how he survived a lightning strike that burned his shirt completely off his back!. Of course people would listen to the story and just look at each other. Few ever felt he had been hit by and survived a freak lightning strike that night.

The man then claimed to have had other similar lighting strikes hit him at other times over his lifetime.

Once when he was walking down the street one beautiful summers night on his way home when he was in his early 20’s.

He was walking along when all of a sudden out of nowhere a bolt of lightning came out of the sky hitting him and knocking him out cold.

He woke up about a hundred feet down the road with his shirt lying next to him and his shoes nowhere in sight. Again this man told others that for a second time lightning hit him from no where - ripped his shirt off his back and blew his shoes off with such force they were never seen again!

He felt the lightning was so powerful it lifted and threw him the hundred feet down the road. The fact he was not burned or harmed did not seem odd to him. He also suffered severe vomiting for a week after this encounter similar to the event when he was 14.

This man was convinced this event was also from a lightning strike. Without any other answer available his explanation of what was happening to him was mostly met with blank stares and confusion.

During his lifetime of over 84 years this man encountered other events. One such event occurred while sitting in his yard with his wife on a clear summers night. As they sat drinking ice tea enjoying the lovely evening a hula-hoop sized orb of blue light blasted through the yard circling them before heading straight up and out of sight. Once again the only reason that was considered was lighting, this time ball lightning.

I imagine all the events that occurred to this man over his lifetime could be chalked up to his incredible attraction with lightning of all kinds sizes and shapes. However the fact he also attracted ghosts makes his encounters a bit more obvious when thought of with today’s understanding of the paranormal.

This man reported three separate experiences during his adult life when he became face to face with what he thought and described as a ghost.

He reported the first encounter while walking along a beach where he was working during the construction of the original Robert Mosses Bridge that was built between Fire Island and Long Island in New York.

He was walking alone along the beach front when he saw a white glowing form walking towards him about a hundred feet in front of him.

The man stopped in his tracks and immediately decided he was looking at a ghost. Without hesitation he turned around and at a full run - ran back to the jobsite and the other men on the construction site. He told the men that he saw something very ghostly walking along the beach. The men all had a laugh and teased him yet no one would agree to return with the man for a better look.

Years later this man was once again working along the coast of Long Island. This time he was with another man who was helping him set up a machine that was needed on another construction site along the waterfront.

The two men were working when they both noticed a figure walking along the beach again about 100 feet away from where they were working. This figure was a woman who at first seemed to be dressed in a white flowing summers dress.

As she got closer to the men they could see that the woman appeared to be blond and also transparent? At once the men both realized they were not looking at a human and both became extremely frightened and started to yell and run back to where they had their cars parked in a nearby parking lot. The men piled into the closest vehicle, which belonged to my friend’s father, and roared away from the site as fast as they could drive.

Both men were really shaken by this event and both refused to return to this job site as they felt it was haunted and the sight of that ghost so clear and real terrified them to the point they would not return.

Towards the end of the mans life in the 1990's this man and his wife were on winter vacation on the eastern coast of Florida. The man and his wife reported seeing a bright light from their balcony over looking the ocean. Under the light stood what appeared to be a strange man on the beach directly below this bright light.

The old couple told their family the light seemed to be suspended like a star but was round and rotated changing color from a pastel pink to white. Under this light they reported watching a strange tall thin man dressed in a white divers suit walking in long fast strides along the shore until all of a sudden he simply disappeared before their eyes. The bright light in the sky just slowly started to dim until it was gone.

The two senior citizens did find this a very strange event to witness but were not sure it was alien in nature. Again they considered ghosts or angels.

The daughters of this man and woman understood that their parents processed the strange events they encountered in life with the reference and knowledge they had to do so. For them to understand what was happening they used spiritual, ghostly or Mother Nature’s lightning to reason out what was happening to and around them.

The mans overwhelming fear of the subject of UFO’s and Aliens made it clear to those aware of his dilemma that there was much more to this story. This is where family ties come into the picture as the problems this man had during his lifetime carried on to his children. His children continued on with his legacy with the unknown.

All of his children reported encounters with other beings and crafts from childhood until the present time. They all have experienced lost time events and have sighted strange lights and objects during their adult lives.

Two have physical wounds resulting from lost time events. The difference with the man and his children is that they understand they are not dealing with lightning or ghosts. The children of this man understand they seem to have inherited a family attraction to them via the same beings that apparently followed their father through out his lifetime.

This case brings forth two interesting parts of the Alien UFO agendas and the human race.

The first is this case seems to add to the list of those who have been telling us that aliens seem to attach them selves to and follow family lines.

The other is that many lifetime encounters with humans and aliens may have gone unknown or easily missed due to the fact the encounters were misinterpreted as other things.

Obviously in the case of the sisters father chances are great that the man had been abducted and taken more than once in his life as well as encountered aliens. It was considered what people at the time could reference to and so labeled ghostly or lightning.

It makes me wonder how many stories or facts left to us by our ancestors which report objects and beings from the sky were alien in nature yet explained in the only way those seeing them could make sense or reference to them with their limited knowledge of the unknown. We all process what we see with the knowledge of the world and universe around us. If our knowledge is limited so is the understanding of what we are experiencing.

I wonder how many of us know of similar stories that they have heard that may also be confused descriptions of abductions, or alien interference with the human race?

Of course we have many areas of the paranormal that we are yet to understand however I think in time we will be able to categorize many of these things into visitation by other life forms. I also think that in our future Aliens will be part of the known spectrum of life forms and the universe clearly understood. What we now consider scary sci-fi movie material will one day be common knowledge.

My hope is that one-day we will all decide to face these subjects as science we are yet to understand and stop living our Dark Age approach to them. It is time we move head first into that which we simply do not understand. If we are being taken I think it is time for us to understand by who and why?

Keep in mind next time you see something you can not fit into your realm of known objects or creatures that you may be seeing something or someone we have yet to identify or understand. I would always approach the unknown with great care and safety but consider many things to come not monsters under the bed as much as science we do not yet understand. With that said never place your self in danger or walk blindly into a situation you do not know. Radiation is science we understand and it is deadly to a human. Realize much of what we yet do not understand may be equally as dangerous and always handle the unknown with respect and care.

Be careful out there and pay attention to your surrounding and always keep looking up!
