		<title>Cgi: The Knife In The Paranormal Back</title>
		<link>http://www.thesupernaturalworld.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26278</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Ed Fleming is a  friend of mine who is interested in the subjects considered  paranormal.  Ed also designs many of the   graphics I use for the title images of my articles. <br />
<br />
Recently Ed and I have been discussing the ongoing expansion of those who waste all of our time by spending endless hours creating fake photos and videos of things they try to present as real sightings and encounters of the  unknown.<br />
<br />
I have been writing for a while now about how destructive this nonsense is to the quest  of  finding real answers to  so many unknown questions.  Fighting a cosmos of unexplained subjects is hard enough in a skeptical closed minded society. Trying to make progress in a world of fools spending endless hours creating fake information makes this endeavor for answers nearly impossible. <br />
<br />
Recently Ed sent me a very interesting email concerning his thoughts on the expanding annoying nonsense of  fake photos and videos plaguing the internet.<br />
<br />
Below find Ed's email:<br />
<br />
"Hi Chris, <br />
<br />
I agree with you that this CGI problem is out of hand. During the ten years of UFO research I have been involved with I have found it increasingly difficult to determine authentic UFO photos and videos from those  made by way of CGI. <br />
<br />
There is an enormous amount of fools out there using computer generated images to create phony UFO, ghost, alien, and every other thing imaginable photos and videos via these methods. I guess these people have nothing better to do with their time or lives. <br />
<br />
Some of the people  doing this  truly believe they will gain entry into the Hollywood world . Of course this is a waste of time and energy as Hollywood is full of professionals doing this who are highly trained artists .  A Hollywood or production company contacting  a fool sitting in his basement who made a good fake is the last thing that is going to happen . At this point the population of bedroom sitting fake makers is at most a dime a dozen if not much more. To think this is a ticket to anywhere is simply a childish dream.<br />
<br />
Another  reason   for the huge amount of  fakes  out there  is that the Governments of the world are paying people to flood the  internet and media which helps discredit the real UFO photos and videos that are being captured by real witnesses.  Turn it all in to a good cartoon or a movie and everyone  just  brushes it off.<br />
<br />
I firmly believe human beings have the right to know what it is that is flying in our skies and interacting with our planet. <br />
<br />
There are those that will do anything and everything to keep that information from you.  I believe  we humans are ready for the truth no matter how disturbing that truth may be.  Thinking this I have to wonder if the discredit theory is one that holds water in the ongoing misery of endless fakes flooding our lives.<br />
<br />
 In 1947 our government stepped in quickly to sweep the famous  Roswell Crash under the carpet  The government  quickly  contained  all information regarding this event. Our government   is very good at this!<br />
<br />
I understand that at that time ( in 1947 ) people would have freaked out and mass hysteria and panic would have followed if the Roswell  information was let out to the general public. I believe now in 2011 times have changed. I do think the public would handle this knowledge without too much upheaval.  It confuses me  why they are still hiding and controlling information.  Are we now being swamped with fake photos and videos by way of our governments to keep the truth from the masses? Can the crushing wave of fakes and frauds in the world of the paranormal be the way to contain and discredit  the real  information that is becoming world known by those who  really see things? <br />
<br />
Of course we do have those who spend endless hours creating these things for attention, fame and who knows what reasons. I simply think of them as immature people looking down the wrong road for what they need.<br />
<br />
If you are in need of attention to the point you develop fraudulent stories and create fake photos and videos I think you need to give yourself a good shake and try to figure out why you are doing these things. If you are bored or think this will make you cool  you really do need to look at your life.  <br />
<br />
There is only one thing that is done by faking photos and videos or making up fake sightings or alien or ghost encounters. That one thing is that you destroy all hope for all of us to ever discover the truth concerning all these unknown subjects. <br />
<br />
It is as if we are suffocating in our own ignorance and lost in our own private  pitiful needs for attention that we sacrifice the growth of mankind by keeping progress in the  unknown strangled by our own ridiculous behavior.<br />
<br />
How can we expect to ever find serious investigation of all the unknowns if we consistently make horses butts of ourselves with  childish actions towards things we really need to figure out<br />
<br />
These are all large problems in the  world of UFO investigation as well as all the other paranormal subjects.<br />
<br />
Someday the  truth will be known and then we as a sentient species will progress. Until then we have to take things one step at a time and learn the ability to see through the deception.<br />
<br />
Thanks, your pal<br />
<br />
Ed Fleming (UFOII) <br />
<br />
I agree with Ed on many of the points he made in his email . I have been aggravated by the tidal wave of Computer Generated Images that overpower the internet and paranormal for years.<br />
<br />
I guess those doing it are very naive and lacking in how things happen if they are wasting time doing this in an effort of being 'discovered' . There are so many people doing this that the chances of  finding fame or a job is nil to none. In fact making any money in the world of the paranormal is nearly impossible. Unless you are one of the very few who is already well known your efforts in this area will not find you fame or wealth. If that is why you are involved in this subject matter you have a hard lesson to learn. <br />
<br />
As life would have it I was busy putting together this article when I was sent an email by a very aggressive individual concerning ghostly / orb  activity at their home. The communication was extremely odd. This person claimed to have no computer skills at all .. They maintained they were barely able to use their email but would like me to look at the evidence of what they proclaimed was happening on their land. <br />
<br />
This person went about sending me a link to a  very slick professional web site that required enormous computer skills to build. The site was filled with story lines and  photos boasting incredible claims of Hollywood proportions.<br />
<br />
Immediately I felt insulted to think that anyone would feel I was stupid enough to think a non computer using novice managed to develop or have developed by a professional  this slick professional site without having a good handle of their own on using a computer. Still I felt it my duty to send the link to two experts in the field of CGI fraud both with a good background in faked photo's.<br />
<br />
Both came back to me informing me  the photos were most likely without question  fakes. Simple lens overlays in their opinions along with other  common effects looked to be used to produce the photos .<br />
<br />
Still I  made no definite  determination on this case until the individual began sending me emails filled with not only long attachments but  added graphics so the email was as pretty and slick as they could be. Rather incredible abilities from someone who claimed they never used a computer before and could barely send or open an email.<br />
<br />
I have no idea why this person used this strange approach or why they thought an old dog like me would not be wise to such tactics. I have been doing this for years and have learned a great deal about people, the paranormal and the division between the  truth seekers  - and self agenda frauds. <br />
<br />
After the rejection of the experts and odd behavior of this person I did not pursue this report. It was however a text book case of what goes on in the world of the unknown and yet another reason we stay cemented in the dark and dismal with the subjects of the paranormal.<br />
<br />
I am sure this person believes they will be the next big book and movie however they may have a great deal to learn as there are a million others exactly like them out there lined up for the same fantasy.<br />
<br />
As Ed  said "It is as if we are suffocating in our own ignorance and lost in our own private  pitiful needs for attention that we sacrifice the growth of mankind by keeping progress in the  unknown strangled by our own ridiculous behavior"<br />
<br />
It is not funny or cute or impressive that you can create an image to fool everyone. Big whoop people!  I think the amount of people doing these things proves the point almost ANYONE can produce a CGI. . How about we all grow up and find something else to do and try to allow the serious minded people who really want to get to the bottom of these things  investigate them without destroying their chances?<br />
<br />
I have to wonder who at this point if anyone is looking at the avalanche of  junk out there without  realizing most of it is  fake ?  Even those unfamiliar with the CGI craze have brains and can look at an image and question why anyone would present it as real!<br />
<br />
How tiresome it is to look through the tons of photos of water marks, camera flash, lens overlays or plain dirt on  the camera used and be told it is a UFO  or ghost. How stupid do we all look to be shown a photo of a blue background with a light shown on it and be told it is a UFO?  <br />
<br />
Of course we also have the household objects with a light source shinning on them being presented as a UFO sighting. A new one seen all over the reporting sites is of sea gulls or other popular ocean birds flying while the camera is moved to blur the birds. It may look like a UFO to someone who never saw the ocean or the birds who fly over it. To an old Islander like me it looks like a hundred photo's I have thrown out that I took at the water's edge and by mistake moved and blurred my shot.  Gee if I had kept them I would have hundreds of UFO photo's by now!  Please people stop this . There is too much to learn and not enough time for kindergarten pranks.<br />
<br />
We graduate to the sightings without reference. No sky or trees or any objects at all to form a relationship to the object. Come on , please , enough!<br />
<br />
The granddaddy or extreme annoyance is the ever favorite  shaking camera UFO shot. Why is it that so many taping a UFO sighting are not able to steady there hand or lean on something to stabilize their taping ability?<br />
<br />
Of course there are those who work for hours placing an image over another creating a almost believable video. Some are very good, all are obvious , everyone a step away from our ever knowing what really is going on due to all these idiots muddying the field to the point no one believes anything seen. <br />
<br />
Do I need explain why the people we need involved in the subjects of the paranormal will have nothing to do with it?  <br />
<br />
On top of this the subject matter is drowning in false reports, ridiculous stories and sad lonely people looking for somewhere to belong and cling to the paranormal for friendship and personal needs. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately all of it  keeps us tightly rooted in the Dark Ages when it comes to advancing towards the truth of all the subjects we  do now understand. <br />
<br />
Can you imagine how dumb we must seem to those  so much more advanced who do understand the science of the cosmos and are able to traverse space and time. We sit here with our fingers in our noses making another good fake photo with our ignorance leading the way.<br />
<br />
Until we straighten up and try to approach the things we do not understand with the idea they are simply science we do not yet know we will continue to  roll around  in our stupidity and remain dumb deaf and blind to the things we need and should be learning .<br />
<br />
My real heartache in all of this is how the real stories, sightings and encounters so many good people do have are lost in this mess of nonsense and dung.<br />
<br />
I understand fully why so many who have encountered things we do not understand retreat and recoil from sharing their encounters due to the actions of the very people who need to listen and learn.<br />
<br />
If we do not ridicule , insult and laugh at those with  real experiences we degrade what they have encountered or witnessed with fakes frauds and insanity.<br />
<br />
So yes I agree with my friend Ed. I have no idea how to stop this bleak disaster .. I have no idea how to shake people awake and alert. I give up in that area. <br />
<br />
All I can  do is write the reports I feel have truth so I can bring them to as many as I can . Like Ed I also feel angry at all who keep us deeply lost in the Dark Ages of the unknown and unexplained.   I do not think we should waste our time looking for disclosure or for the aliens to contact us openly until we can clean up our own act. <br />
<br />
The main shame of it all is that you may be the next to find yourself all alone one still dark night looking into the eyes of the unknown. I guarantee you would have wished you had a basket full of knowledge instead of a bundle full of nonsense to help you make it through that very moment!<br />

		<title>The Angry Abductee</title>
		<link>http://www.thesupernaturalworld.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26274</link>
		<description><![CDATA[By now many of you are aware I have been writing about the four real time abductees that I was fortunate enough to spend time with this summer. By real time I am referring to lost time abduction cases that take place when the people being abducted are fully awake. The real time abductions take place while they are going about their daily life when without permission they are taken against their will.<br />
<br />
I do not interview or write about abductions that take place in a sleep state or while in a trance or encounters that involve telepathic communications.<br />
<br />
My main interest concerns the real time abduction cases.<br />
<br />
The four real time abductees I recently spent time with consisted of three women and one man. They ranged in age from 44 to the mid 60's. The four people are from the eastern coastal area of the United States. All of them have had multiple events of lost time abduction spanning over their life time.<br />
<br />
I have previously written articles about three of the abductees . This article will be about the last of the four, a woman abductee.<br />
<br />
This woman is in her late 50's. She is a typical woman of her age with a family and life similar to many women of her generation. To meet this woman you would not notice anything different about her- not at first glance.<br />
<br />
She appears normal in most every way. She has learned how to blend in to a crowd.<br />
<br />
She has long blond curly hair that never seems to find a comb , loves her jeans and tee shirts and walks around lost in her own daily routine like everyone else.<br />
<br />
You may notice that in public no matter how hot it may be she will be wearing her jeans or long pants . If the heat is extreme you will find her in gauze pants or long flowing sundresses but never shorts. Only those close to her have seen her as she exists. Shorts and swimsuits are reserved for the privacy of her home only.<br />
<br />
The reason for her choice of fashion is due to the abnormal skin condition on her legs from the knee down. She long ago learned to forgo the stare of strangers at her odd appearance. She is careful of the sun as well as she can only tolerate it for about 20 minutes at a time before burning or feeling pain all over her skin. Like the other abductees' she suffers from the sunlight and is blinded by it. She cannot be outside without dark sunglasses. She has tinted windows in her vehicles and lives on a heavily shaded property filled with huge trees and large shade umbrella's .<br />
<br />
This woman has learned to adapt her life to fit her conditions. Her house is securely hidden from her neighbors. Her pool is tucked beneath heavy shade trees and her deck is covered . She manages to live a normal life despite her special needs. She is surrounded by family and friends and does not live alone.<br />
<br />
This woman is grateful she has the ability to provide this life and is fully aware others are not as lucky. She lives in a secluded area with lots of land around her home. She keeps to herself living her life with her family and a selected handful of friends.<br />
<br />
She is friendly and happy and hides her secrets well. She is careful who she spends time with which limits her relationships.<br />
<br />
This woman has endured strange events since she was three years old. She has diluted memories from her childhood but can recall being returned down from a long funnel of neon green light as early as age three.<br />
<br />
She has had lost time events all of her life . She remembers little of her childhood events other than strange rays of light or suddenly feeling light headed with little recall of what took place until she would find hours had passed and she was late to dinner without a reason why or a explanation of where she had been.<br />
<br />
She recalls often feeling confused on what took place during her day as a child.<br />
<br />
Her family considered the events a willful child who simply did not want to stop what she was doing and would often return home late for dinner. When she could not explain cuts and bruises on her body she would be punished for not telling the truth about where she had been. She had a difficult childhood.<br />
<br />
She remembers complaining about dreadful pains in her legs as a child. The pain would be so severe she would lay on the floor and cry . Her parents gave her an aspirin and a hot bath and thought little of it.<br />
<br />
Her encounters changed at age 13 when she and a group of teens had a clear sighting of a UFO that flew over the town where she lived on Long Island . The year was 1964 and the UFO sighting was seen by others as well as the group of teens who lived in her town.<br />
<br />
This sighting was also a abduction case as the group of teens who reported the event had a time loss of three hours that they could not explain.<br />
<br />
This woman continued having strange encounters with odd bright colored orbs and strange lost time events her entire life. She considers her life one filled with strangeness she cannot explain .<br />
<br />
The events continued until her late 40's. At that point she became determined to stop the events and went about changing her life style making it difficult to be taken.<br />
<br />
She avoids the type of situation that makes abduction encounters possible as well as demanding that her abductors leave her alone.<br />
<br />
She recalls one event in the early 90's when she found she was alone in a wooded area. She was on her way to join a group of friends and needed to cross a open field to the picnic area where they were waiting for her. As she was going about her business she could feel the strange dizzy sensation coming over her that she knew well and became furious. She threw her belongings on the ground and started to scream out to the empty woods around her<br />
<br />
" Enough , enough- You cannot take me, I do not want to be hurt - you have no right to take me, no more- no more. "<br />
<br />
She became angry and kept yelling in a rage "no no no ".<br />
To her amazement her rage seemed to stop this abduction . It was the last time she had a lost time abduction experience however not the last of other strange events that continue in her life.<br />
<br />
This woman has spent her life trying to avoid the interference of others in her life. She has found strange objects placed in her pocket book, home, car and yard. She learned long ago to be aware of the things around her and if she or a family member come across odd objects in their environment that does not belong to anyone in the home they quickly remove them, destroy or bury them.<br />
<br />
Once they offered an object to the authorities to investigate and were treated with insult and such ridicule that they simply bury most items far away where they can do no harm.<br />
<br />
They remain confused on who or why they have been tagged with these items over the years. They fear they may have more than one paranormal problem at hand involving the unknown.<br />
<br />
The woman and her family know that if they do not get rid of the items they find they will begin to feel ill until they do get rid of the item.<br />
<br />
This strangeness has been going on for over 35 years.<br />
<br />
This abductee shares the ability to absorb knowledge quickly and has a large appetite for learning and reading which is a common trait with the real time abductees.<br />
<br />
She also suffers from numerous health problems that cannot be explained .<br />
<br />
She too has surgery scarring and has been told she has damage to her internal organs yet has never had an operation. She too has exhibited the body of a woman who has had numerous pregnancies yet only has had one child.<br />
<br />
She has had a eye color change from a gray to a very vivid bright blue as well as other odd physical oddities she is not able to explain.<br />
<br />
As the other abductees all attempts for help or understanding in the medical community have failed leaving her to deal with her problems without mentioning her lifelong lost time events .<br />
<br />
Most of the encounters she has endured have all started with her remembering when they begin, and when they end with little recall of the lost time in-between.<br />
<br />
She has total recall of clearly seeing the UFO craft when she was a teen and another of watching a large red orb next to her house just above the trees when she was in her 20's.<br />
<br />
The other events she has endured she knew were coming as something odd would occur like hearing an odd loud voice talking in a language she could not identify followed by becoming very dizzy. The next thing she would recall would be waking up in a different location sick and frightened.<br />
<br />
As far as what took place during her time being taken she has only limited flashes of recall.<br />
<br />
From this limited memory she knows that those taking her had a human form but seemed to be wrapped in very tight skin like protective suits that were a white blue gray in color.<br />
<br />
She knows that they memory wiped her as she also has many events that occurred around the time of her abductions that were going on in her life wiped as well.<br />
<br />
If she had visited her grandmother the day before a incident she would not be able to recall the visit either.<br />
<br />
After one particular lost time event she endured at age 18 she seemed to have lost memory of most of her 15th year of life as well. She can clearly remember her life up until hitting the 15 year mark. After that there is a large gap of memory to what took place in her life until about the end of her 15th year.<br />
<br />
This has been a ongoing problem following most of her lost time events.<br />
<br />
This woman abductee feels very strongly about the direction that has been taken with the subjects concerning the UFO alien agenda.<br />
<br />
She is disgusted with the 'free- for- all' surrounding these issues and refuses to join in with those who combine the fantasy crowd with those having real lost time encounters.<br />
<br />
She feels angry at the large number of people who spend their time making up ridiculous claims about events that may fill a lonely gap in their life while doing great harm to those who are enduring difficult kidnappings, being harmed and in turn have no place to go to for help because of the fools and frauds who have made this subject a huge joke.<br />
<br />
Of all the abductee lost time event people I have talked to this woman is by far the most angry at society and the treatment she has endured due to ignorance, fear and denial concerning this serious subject.<br />
<br />
This woman thinks we are completely off base on most of our thinking about the alien UFO subject. She hopes by telling what she and the others have gone through a new spark may ignite in the public to grasp what is real from the fantasy bringing a new light to this subject that is presently lost in darkness .<br />
<br />
Her hope is that someday we can replace giggles for answers . She has hope one day those who have had to go it alone and suffer in silence will find compassion and help in place of disrespect and denial concerning what they have had to endure.<br />
<br />
This woman feels those who have taken her in the past and who have interfered in her life are alien however she believes they work hand in hand with some fraction of the human race.<br />
<br />
This woman feels her government betrayed her and has always known what was going on and why.<br />
<br />
I will be writing more about the topics discussed by this group of aductees in articles to come. I will continue my contact with the group of abductees. If you have a question you wish to ask this group you can send them to my email address at the end of this article. They have agreed to answer questions they feel are reasonable and logical. They do not respond to questions that do not relate to real time abductions.<br />
<br />
I found this experience to be more than I anticipated and hope what they are sharing with us can bring logic and reality to this subject.<br />
<br />
Be careful out there and always pay attention to your surroundings.<br />

		<title>Beautiful Summer Nights Are To Enjoy Not For Tempting The Unknown</title>
		<link>http://www.thesupernaturalworld.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26273</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was a beautiful day here on Long Island New York. I spent the day outside working in my garden and the early evening grilling hamburgers and enjoying my deck. I could hear my neighbors as they too were outside  happily taking in this beautiful day. Winter now gone I am sure many people will be spending as much time as possible out of doors soaking in the beautiful weather.<br />
<br />
Tonight I was sitting in my office sorting through my emails when my phone rang. I was very surprised to find  that the person calling was calling me at all. Years ago when I first started to write about the paranormal I was contacted by a small local Paranormal Group in my area. They wanted me to give a talk at one of their meetings. They also wanted me to join them on a UFO hunting trip to a deserted area on the end of Long Island. I declined at the time and told them it was not wise to do what they were planning to do. My warning was not appreciated and I never heard from them again.<br />
<br />
Apparently there had been a change of  leadership in this group and the new man in command was now calling me.. He told me he noticed my stories in the last few books of Brad Steigers and once again wanted me to give a talk at the groups next meeting. <br />
<br />
I talked to this man for a few minutes to quickly find that although the chain of  command had changed the practices and thinking of the group was the same.<br />
<br />
Again it was requested that I join this group on a midnight UFO hunting excursion on a  dark desolate beach here on the Long Island coast. <br />
<br />
This invitation was far worse than the last as the location suggested was very close to the same area a serial killer here on Long Island had been discarding his victims remains. On top of this being a dark,  dank horrific site it was suggested I bring my favorite tumbler of alcoholic beverage to make the UFO hunting the most fun possible!<br />
<br />
I know it is summer and I know everyone wants to cut  loose and have a good time. I am all for a cook out, a nice glass of wine under a star lit sky however I am not willing to die for a good time- or worse!<br />
<br />
I explained to the man that not only would I not be able to join them but I thought they should seriously reconsider their plans. Not only do I not have any desire to hang out near the remains of the dead serial killers dumping site but I have no intentions of offering myself as a willing victim to anything unknown.<br />
<br />
Honestly I think it highly unlikely that a visiting alien species would be drawn or interested in a pack of intoxicated fools flashing lights in to the night sky however the fact they pick desolate lonely areas to do these things could make them a target for who knows what .<br />
<br />
I reminded the man that the area they were going to for their UFO hunting party was very remote without any lights, people or help of any kind near. It would be them, the ocean and the open sky. It was bad enough a killer was loose in the area- to tempt the unknown as well was simply insane.<br />
<br />
Of course as the first time I rejected this invitation . I was told I was ridiculous and a kill joy and other  assorted complaints. I told this man that if he really thought this was a huge fun game he should re think his position. I reminded him that many people who go missing may also have come upon a fate that involved an encounter with the unknown never to be seen again. <br />
<br />
I also reminded him that being taken , abused and hurt is not fun, or interesting but traumatizing, many times painful and extremely dangerous. I told him that looking into the eyes of the unknown is far from fun or enlightening  however it is terrifying and life changing- and not for the better.<br />
<br />
I could not convince this man that his summer fun was dangerous and foolish. I did fully understand that this group has little interest in real UFO  truth and is like many others using the paranormal for a good time.<br />
<br />
After talking to this man I felt a fear run down my spine thinking about the danger so many may place themselves in thinking that things unknown are all fun and games. I wanted to take this time to remind you all that placing yourself or those you in love in danger that could end up in a violent end or worse the end of your time on this earth is not fun or wise to do.  It could end up that  you too become one of the listed missing.  Please when you out enjoying this summer stop and think about what you do.<br />
<br />
Summer is a time for fun, sun, beautiful nights and happy days. Please do not place yourself in any situation where you are easy pickings. Alone in open spaces without the protection of other people or lights is always dangerous. It is also a easy way for those who abduct us to do so. Do not ever willingly give yourself up to that which you do not understand. It may be the last time anyone ever sees you.<br />
<br />
If you do see something odd in the sky find others to view it with you. If you do find you are facing something unknown do not walk towards it do the opposite and retreat to where there are other people or at least lights.  Remember there is safety in numbers and this rule applies to any encounter you have with the unknown. <br />
<br />
If you see a UFO quickly try to find another witness to the event. If you think you see a ghost or hear something odd find others to give your report credibility. Also know it is far less likely you will be harmed or taken if there are other people around. It is of course possible for small groups of people to be taken or experience the unknown but for every added person around the chances of you having a terrible experience with something you know is not human decreases.<br />
<br />
Simply use your common sense when it comes to things you do not understand as the unknown remains full of things, beings, and machines we have little or no knowledge or defense against.<br />
<br />
We know by way of the millions of reports all over this planet being told to us from the beginning of our recorded history that strange things happen to everyday people all the  time. Do not go looking for trouble you cannot handle. Especially do not do this while drinking or under the influence of anything that retards your instincts and basic survival skills . That mistake could be the last one you could ever make.<br />
<br />
Be careful, be smart and for the love of all things human and of this planet pay close attention to your surroundings and stay far away from the boogie man in the  dead of night. He does exist and he loves a willing victim.<br />
<br />
May all our summers be filled with warm water to swim in, friends to BBQ with and family to share those star filled nights.<br />
<br />
Now I think I will go make a few Smore's over that hot grill.<br />

		<title>People - The Paranormal and Our Time in History</title>
		<link>http://www.thesupernaturalworld.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26237</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you see the big deal that was made  on the internet concerning the alien body found at the Siberian UFO crash site? Did you watch all the video's and read all the blogs about this huge new find?  Did you then read the confessions and watch the video's of the two men who carried out this fraud.?  The alien was made from  a mess of chicken skin and stale bread. Sort of like one  of those specialty cakes you see on the cooking shows that look like cars, cartoon figures or a family pet!<br />
<br />
Do you realize how ridiculous this makes all things related to  UFO's  or aliens look?  Do you  still wonder why we have no truth in the matter of other life forms? Do you wonder why we have no answers concerning the massive amounts of unusual objects reported all over the world? The answer is  simple .  We sabotage, destroy or directly cause ridicule and rejection by way of our own actions .<br />
<br />
The constant fraudulent photo's , reports, video's and stories overwhelm the real events happening leaving us on a constant rat wheel of darkness and ignorance .<br />
<br />
On top of our own deeds stopping  progress in finding answers to so many unknowns the stresses of today's world seem to be having a impact on the public.. People seem to be crazier than ever.<br />
<br />
As a paranormal writer I receive lots of email and phone calls. Most of the time the emails and calls are from wonderful people who want to share an incredible experience. I have been fortunate to have so many intelligent, truthful - sane people  share their encounters with the unknown with me. I also have been sent amazing photo's and a few extremely interesting video's over the years.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I  also have been sent insane emails ,  crazy voice messages as well as phony photo's and faked video's. Sadly all of this comes with the subject matter.<br />
<br />
Over the years the percent of good people with truthful reports to the wacko's and frauds has been about 60/40. At least 60% of the interactions have been with good decent people who have had real experiences to 40% fakes , flakes and attention seekers. It was the way of things and seemed to stay in that pattern for a very long time.<br />
<br />
It started gradually as the world situation started to deteriorate  so did the world of the  paranormal.  Fakes , frauds , liars and those with problems were growing . The good people kept  coming along however they all seemed extremely reluctant to share openly their experiences due to the concerns of being grouped with the crazies and confused. <br />
<br />
I needed to promise more than ever before total confidentiality with each and every person I talked to. I am known to protect those I write about which is why I think I receive as many reports as I do . The new wave of things however has this the first priority before all else with people. Things were changing. Things were becoming more closed and our moving forward to  finding answers now seems bleaker than ever. <br />
<br />
The worlds problems started to dominate the public's attention which lowered the time and interest the population once had in the world of things unknown.  With so many hard problems growing all over the planet people just did not have the time , energy or interest they once did in subjects considered paranormal. Good people who were having real events were now overly concerned about public ridicule or reaction that might affect their family or jobs. With times hard enough now adding a new source of possible difficulty was just not worth the risk of coming forward about a sighting or encounter with an unknown event. <br />
<br />
It seemed  the stresses of today's world was most apparent with the unbalanced population of those who circulate in the paranormal. The proportion of emails were tipping towards the bizarre with some downright insane. <br />
<br />
Fake photo's seemed to double  as well as video 's. Some were so bad that they insulted the intelligence of an adult . I had to chalk them up to the work of a 12 year old with too much indoor time on their hands. I would shudder to think a grown up would think such nonsense would be considered real. I will tell you sadly that I have seen these ridiculous fakes displayed in full glory on other sites. I can only shake my head as we sink deeper and deeper into the depth of darkness with all things considered unknown.<br />
<br />
People are showing the signs of the weight of the problems in the world . The world of the paranormal is a perfect place to act out the stress of the times . It is obvious to me that this turn will continue as long as our world continues to  slide in turmoil and confusion.<br />
<br />
Those needing professional help are active and worrisome. I have had a few very ill people send me rambling confused statements which display their serious delusions. It is sad . Others use this time in history to try to feed other twisted  needs in their character. I also get the real dark  losers of the paranormal who try to use the subject matter of the unknown to threaten or frighten . I find these to be the biggest fools loose and know they will one day pay dearly for their negative nasty deeds.<br />
<br />
I fully recognize and  understand the laws of karma. You will without exception pay for the misery, harm, mean spirited and hateful things you do. It will come back and attack you in the exact fashion you send it to others. I would seriously contemplate that law of the universe the next time you do something dirty , evil or nasty. All I can tell you is to get ready because soon you will receive what you project  10 fold in return.<br />
<br />
I can only hope that the history of our planet can swing quickly to a place that is once again in a better balance.  I pray for a time where we are all  out of harm's way and prosperous. I know that good  brings hope and truth as  evil  brings all things that are  opposite to good. All we can  do is try to help  our world return to a better place.<br />
<br />
Think good thoughts , do good deeds and stop the hate. Make the world a place we all want to live and thrive  and leave the darkness behind.<br />
<br />
For now I will continue to read my emails and answer my calls weeding out the good from the bad . I will write about those who are honest and ignore those who are fools and frauds. <br />
<br />
One day we may be on a better path. One day the world of unknown subjects may be understood and accepted . Until then all any of us can do is be our best, fight the temptation of evil and keep looking forward to a brighter day.<br />
<br />
The paranormal however I fear for a while longer will stay locked in the dark ages. <br />

		<title>When Level Headed People Encounter The Unknown</title>
		<link>http://www.thesupernaturalworld.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26220</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I know a man who is a level headed slightly skeptical sort of logical person who has very little interest in UFO's and aliens. This man believes in investigating things considered paranormal but does so with strict guide lines and thought. He is not your jump to conclusions type of guy. I was very surprised when this logical investigator friend of mine told about a few odd events he had  encountered over the past few months. This man lives in Canada. He explained to me that his adventure with his recent strange experiences started while he was away with a group of friends in the  west end of Toronto on the shores of Lake Ontario. <br />
<br />
Along with a few of his male pals the  man stood along the shore of the lake one night while taking a cigarette break when they noticed strange lights hovering over the lake. The group of men watched as a bright orange crescent moon shaped object hovered high above the lake. The large orange light hung silently in the night . They soon noticed two very white  orbs hovering to the left of this object also high above the lake..<br />
<br />
The men watched carefully as the strange lights sat silently over the lake as they tried to figure out what the objects might be. They considered the options including the idea they were orbiting space junk of our own device . All the ideas they could think of soon were forgotten as possibilities as the large orange glowing crescent moon shape object and the two white bright orbs began to  slowly lower down above the lake. The men were now aware of how extremely large the orange and white objects were as they slowly lowered still hovering without sound down towards the water. <br />
<br />
The group of men stood there watching this display astonished and confused at what they were  looking at hovering over the lake. <br />
<br />
Suddenly in a snap as they stood watching- the objects were gone. They just disappeared.  The group of friends had no idea what they had just witnessed . The only thing they all knew for sure was that none of them had ever seen anything like it before.<br />
<br />
My friend is a very calm controlled type of man.. This extreme event did not rattle or frighten him. It did however make him very curious. He did not think too much more about it other than the fact he realized he had seen something unique and most likely unknown.<br />
<br />
His life continued on as usual for a few months time before he encountered three more odd events over about a six week period . <br />
<br />
One night he woke up in the middle of the night as he needed to use the bathroom. He glanced at the alarm clock next to his bed and noticed it was 2:02 a.m.. He walked from his bed to the bathroom without any thought and directly  back to his bed after quickly using the bathroom. When he got back into bed in once again glanced at his alarm clock and was shocked to see about a half an hour had passed . He knew he had only quickly relieved himself and returned directly back to his bed. The entire episode could not have taken more than a few minutes yet his clock told him differently. He checked the time again to find he had indeed somehow lost about half an hour of time.   This was not an earth shattering event however he could not figure out how he lost the time or what had occurred to explain the time difference.<br />
<br />
My friend chalked this nighttime experience up to his confusion and continued along his life. Not too long after this event another strange encounter happened to him.  <br />
<br />
He was busy taking his trash out one night and decided to stop and smoke  a cigarette before returning to his house. He was standing in his driveway near the road when he noticed a shadow of an oval shaped object cast down below the power lines move along the center of the road . He could not see exactly what was casting this dark  solid shadow but did watch the shadow move silently along the poles and wires down his street. <br />
<br />
Immediately he became unnerved and returned quickly to his house. The event was a bit frightening as he knew what ever was moving along the street poles lining his road was not a known object and without question did not belong there. He now was beginning to wonder if he was being drawn  into something he did not want to be part of or understand. He has been very careful to survey his surroundings since this encounter and makes sure he keeps the outside of his house well lit and the inside securely locked.<br />
<br />
The last event in the sequence of odd experiences that have occurred took place when he made an appointment to see his doctor. During the time period of these strange occurrences my friend developed pain in his back. He did not pull his back or fall. He did not injure himself in any way or have an accident. His  back just started to hurt so he went to see his doctor.<br />
<br />
His doctor examined him which included X-rays and whatever  else was needed to determine what was causing his pain. The doctors report was the strangest of all the odd unknowns that seem to be plaguing my friend. <br />
<br />
The doctor told him the vertebrae  along his entire spine had multiple injuries . The doctor told him he would have had to have suffered a rather bad injury to have suffered such intensive damage to his back. Of course my friend explained that nothing at all had happened to him and that it was impossible for him to just wake up one day that badly injured. The doctors reaction was of course refusal to believe the man's story and insisted he was hiding the truth to how he suffered this sudden back injury.<br />
<br />
My friend now realized more than he was aware of or wanted was happening to him and intruding on his life and physical well being.<br />
<br />
No matter how hard he tried to convince his doctor that he had not had an accident or incident that could have caused his back injuries the doctor would not believe him and continued on  treating my friend as a recent back injury. Not understanding what had happened to his back and having no memory of having injured his back he simply stopped trying to deny how his back became damaged . He is being treated yet still has no idea how his back problem happened.<br />
<br />
Being a very logical man who investigates all things fully in the paranormal my friend remains unsure at what he has been experiencing since his first encounter viewing the three brightly lit objects over the lake.<br />
<br />
He does know something strange has happened and obviously he has  been involved in a set of circumstances he has no memory of however does have physical problems resulting from his encounters.<br />
<br />
Many people have reported similar scenarios after witnessing a strange craft or interchange with odd beings. Lost time is a thread that runs through many encounters with the unknown as well as strange developing illness or injury. <br />
<br />
I explained to my friend that I felt it imperative that he takes extreme caution from this point on. I told him to keep his home and property well lit and his doors and windows locked when possible. I also suggested he try to stay around other people . It may not be wise for him to place himself in situations where he is alone  especially at night . Being a willing easy target is something all of us should try to prevent.<br />
<br />
One of my brothers  lives in  the state of Connecticut.  He told me he worked with a hard-nosed skeptic who  wanted to talk to me next time I was visiting my brother.  I arranged for this man to drop by my brothers home a few weeks ago while I was visiting. <br />
<br />
The man is a educator who works in the New Haven Connecticut area. He is the kind of person who  has a great deal to say with extreme opinions on most all subjects. When you share time with this man you do not share conversation, you listen to a lecture. I  found him difficult and without question narrow minded  in many areas.   When it came to the subjects considered paranormal he was completely closed down and unpleasant. Why he wanted to visit with me was a complete mystery. <br />
<br />
I was not prepared at all for what this extremely close minded  man wanted to tell me. He did not waste time with small talk of any kind. Within a few seconds of sitting down with  this man I found myself listening to an event I never ever thought would come from his lips.<br />
<br />
He told me that he took his wife and three teenage children for a fast food quick dinner one night. He told me it was about 7:00 P.M. and still light as it happened  in  the month of August .<br />
<br />
The family decided to take the burgers they picked up  to a large dock area to sit and eat their meal overlooking the water. The family drove to a marina located in West  Haven Connecticut . West Haven is located along the coastline of Connecticut facing the Long Island Sound. This body mass of water separates Long Island New York from Connecticut . It was a crystal clear early summer evening. The water was mirror still and all was calm. The sky was still blue with a few puffy white clouds slowly passing by.<br />
<br />
The family sat along with a few other cars overlooking the beautiful  Long  Island Sound happily eating their burgers and fries.<br />
<br />
Suddenly directly in front of them a few hundred yards out in the Sound a huge oval UFO descended from the clouds right in front of them. He told me the entire family watched stunned at what they were seeing. <br />
<br />
A very large building size craft lowered from the clouds and hovered in all its glory right in front of the family and other cars parked on shore. The craft was about two to three stories high and covered in slowly changing neon lights. He told me the lights were not anything he had ever seen before. They slowly changed from blue to green and purples as the cars on the dock sat stunned at what they were seeing directly in front of them.<br />
<br />
He told me the craft had a few rows of porthole type windows and hovered silently in all its huge glory over the Long Island Sound. As suddenly as it appeared it began to rise back up towards the clouds. It did not make it back into the cover of clouds however. Instead right before their eyes this huge craft simply disappeared. It was right there in full glory one second and puff  in less than a blink of an eye it was gone. Simply not there. <br />
<br />
The entire encounter lasted maybe a minute to 90 seconds. He told me the other cars tried to start their engines but were not able to turn over their engines. He could hear a woman in another car praying and crying. He said he and his family sat frozen burgers in hands unable to react or speak or move. They were locked starring at the huge craft that hovered directly in front of them.<br />
<br />
The family left the dock as soon as they were able to start their car as did the other people who were sitting there . The family arrived home with  the cold burgers and limp  fries laying beside them in the car. Once inside the house the family was surprised to find it was 10:30 P.M.. They were sure that they could not have been at the dock all that time but could not explain the difference  from 7:00 P.M. when they first arrived at the marina until when they walked in to their house. The only explanation they  could come up with was that they had someone miscalculated the time they started . They knew they had not been at the dock very long and simply could not come up with an answer to the difference or lost time along the way.  Once inside his home the  man called  the police. The police told him  they did not have any reports or  information or interest in what he was reporting. He watched the news papers and listened to the radio and local TV however nothing was reported on what he and his family had witnessed.<br />
<br />
This man had a very strong reaction to this event. He lived his life as a staunch skeptic. He lived and died by the rule unless you could show it to  him right then and there whatever the mystery may be simply did not exist in his mind. I found it incredulous that now even with his admitting a huge UFO hovered right in front of his family and his eyes he still insisted it could not have been  a craft from another place. Even though he could not explain what happened to him and his family from  7:30 until !0:30 that night he refused to identify the period as lost time.<br />
<br />
Knowing this man to be extremely limited in his thinking I did not try at all to convince him otherwise. I did ask him  what he thought he saw and what happened to him over the missing hours.<br />
<br />
It was obvious to me that the event had shaken this man to his very core. He gave me long involved theories of Black Ops experiments along with the idea he was used as a rat in a hologram experiment . He also considered that all of the people at the marina were hypnotized to have the same massive hallucination. I cannot discount any of his ideas as anything may be possible. I just found his ideas as unknown or extreme as the idea they may have simply witnessed a craft from another world or place.<br />
<br />
Knowing this  idea was something he could not and would not deal with I simply listened to his report and keep my own mind open that it could have been one of many things that entered the family's life that night.<br />
<br />
Listening to all of these people talk to me about the unexplained events in their lives I can only come to one conclusion. Many strange things are happening to many people all over this planet. <br />
<br />
The mystery remains what it is that is happening to them and why. I think the lesson in all of what we see and hear others are witnessing is to grasp and understand we are not alone and we are being interfered with . Be it one  sighting or a group of encounters with strange objects or beings or lost time events- the fact is we are experiencing these things and they are real.<br />
<br />
My advice to one and all would be to understand this could happen to you and to arm yourself with knowledge by way of the reports and experiences of others so you can be as prepared as possible in case you are the one who next is faced alone in the night looking into the eyes or lights of the unknown.<br />

		<title>The Hum</title>
		<link>http://www.thesupernaturalworld.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26207</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Funny how things happen. I was sitting outside when once again I heard the agitating noise of that annoying hum. It sounds as if a diesel truck is parked in front of the house with its engine running. This hum starts out of nowhere and can last for hours at a time. Again I looked around and there were no trucks, no source of this strange noise. The hum is everywhere. You cannot tell  the direction or location of it - it is just there. I do not hear this hum all the time. . It is not loud or offensive. It is however annoying and nerve breaking if it goes on too long. In the past I would search the area around my home to try to figure out what was causing this irritating noise , today I just went inside to try to get away from it.<br />
<br />
Coincidence is a strange thing.  I was searching for a video I wanted to look at when I came across a video I had not seen before on this problem of the hum being heard across the other side of the world. I have to wonder what could possibly be going on? This mysterious noise is a 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.<br />
<br />
I stopped  myself this time  however in the past I would grab my car keys and  hunt 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 up and down every road following the hum as I drove. The problem is the hum is everywhere . Trying to track it down is like trying to find the start and end of the sky!<br />
<br />
 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 towards it 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.<br />
<br />
I recalled reading of others who had complained that they also were suffering from this annoying hum. I researched the subject and found that people all over the world were hearing this noise and also unable to locate or figure out the source of the noise.<br />
<br />
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 only to return again.  The article reads:<br />
<br />
‘A mysterious humming noise which kept residents of a Suffolk town awake at night for weeks has struck up again.’ <br />
<br />
I  will include the you tube at the end of this article that I happened upon this morning. It cannot be all our imaginations. It is however a ongoing annoyance.<br />
<br />
I found an read a article where 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 all in the 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.<br />
<br />
I have read  all kinds of explanations from high-tension wires (I have none of those near my home) to UFO’s.  A friend of mine who lives near me also hears this mysterious hum. She  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.<br />
<br />
My son and his wife live about a mile from my house. They have been hearing this annoying hum too. My son and his wife have been driving around also trying to search out the source of this nerve racking hum. They too were not able to find a source or a definite direction that this annoying noise is coming from.<br />
<br />
We all live on the coast of Long Island.  Often we wonder if the source of the hum could be coming from under the water or traveling through the water . As it stands we cannot figure this out. I tried calling our local police. They reacted as if we were all simply insane. <br />
<br />
Brookhaven National Labs is located near the coast line of Long Island. It could be possible they are spinning the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the force of it operating is vibrating the earth or the Long Island Sound which causes the hum to be heard along the coast line. <br />
 <br />
I have no idea what is causing this annoying noise. I will tell you it begins without reason and ends as suddenly as it starts. I find it extremely interesting that the same noise is being heard all over the world. <br />
 <br />
If you have any information what is causing this phenomena please contact us. This hum can be maddening at times. Many would love to understand what is causing this irritating sound.<br />
<br />
I am also  curious how many others out there may be hearing this humming where they live or work?.  If so I would love to know about it. <br />
<br />
For now pay attention to your surroundings. When your least expecting it- you too may hear the mysterious sound of  ‘The Hum.’<br />

		<title>E.T Souls: What Do You Think?</title>
		<link>http://www.thesupernaturalworld.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26174</link>
		<description><![CDATA[While reading my emails I came across one   from a my reader I found very interesting. Her email was short and to the point. She asked me a question that I kept thinking about until I decided to answer her with this article. I wanted to ask you who read the articles of the paranormal what your thoughts may be too?  I will tackle Jo's email to the  best of my ability . Below find her email:<br />
<br />
<strong class='bbc'>"Hi Chris,<br />
<br />
I had a quick question for you.  (I'm a huge fan of your site, by the way.)   What do think of people who believe that they have an  ET soul?  Kind of like what Brad Steiger and Scott Mandelker  talked about?  Could that be possible? I believe they also call them Star seeds as well as  ET Wanderers.<br />
<br />
I would love to hear your thoughts on this.  Thanks so much!<br />
<br />
Take care.<br />
Jo "</strong><br />
<br />
When Jo sent me that email I had to laugh . If that was one of her quick questions I sure would not want to tackle one of her in depth ones!<br />
<br />
I thought a great deal about her question and will do my best to answer her with my opinion of this subject. <br />
<br />
It is not the first I have heard or read concerning this topic. It certainly is one however that requires a great deal of thought. <br />
<br />
I realize that this topic can be digested by  both the emotional view and the logical view.<br />
<br />
I believe those with a need for this to have a positive end point will bend to the belief that aliens do walk the earth for the purpose of helping mankind.<br />
<br />
I also would think there are those who think aliens are walking this planet for nefarious reasons which include harm or destruction  to our species .<br />
<br />
The view of logic is a more black and white road. This of course would have a yes or no answer . The one view would be that the idea of non human souls in human bodies is impossible and the other that if it is alien so is the body even if it looks human.<br />
<br />
My opinion of this topic is a mesh of some of the views I have encountered as well as a rejection of  others.  I do believe that aliens walk this earth with us. I do however believe they are not human, do not have human biology and do not take over our souls . I think they have their own souls and I do not think swapping souls is as easy and simple as many people think it to be.<br />
<br />
I tend to not believe that aliens try to share our human bodies or inhabit them. I do think that there are aliens that  look very much like humans who are walking with us on this planet. I also think aliens can alter their appearance to appear human. I do not think however they move into or come in to our bodies in birth. I think souls are following a design in the universe that is meant to be. I tend to believe souls follow a line of experiences that end in a level of achievement for the soul .  It may well be that those living a human experience are on their way to a higher level however we are as humans still low on the ladder- soul and all. <br />
<br />
It may be that those far more advanced are  far older members of our cosmos. I do not think they would want or need to experience the human soul experience as chances are their souls  already have. They may be much further along  in  their life energy's journey through space , time and dimension.<br />
<br />
Aliens surely come in many forms. There is no reason why another species of life could not look very close to  us. If they are not exact to us I am sure it would be simple for them to change or adjust what they needed to in order to fit in with us. <br />
<br />
I think there are other life forms living with us. They may look very human or be altered to fit in as well as walking among us in alien suits that look human . If a species is advanced enough to traverse space and time it is smart enough to devise a suit or robot covering that looks human for them to wander this earth with ease.<br />
<br />
I do not believe it is very likely  alien souls replace human souls or take over human bodies. <br />
<br />
It may be possible aliens have spliced or integrated with humans  creating a  hybrid. It could be aliens who abduct humans invade the biology of those taken with increased brain ability as a result. This would explain why many abductee's are extremely bright humans.. I also believe it is likely that aliens plant  their views of our planet in the minds of those taken. <br />
<br />
If  hybrid human / aliens do exist I realize the immediate thought would be  their souls are part human and part alien.  I believe this  is unlikely. I think it more likely if this one soul would be the deciding life force making this being more human or alien . I doubt a soul can be split or homogenized . Of course I have no idea of knowing as I am merely a human and we are extremely primitive and  low level in our understanding of the universe. We do not understand our own planet very well. To think we could grasp a subject as complex as our life energy, our spirit or soul seems  far from our understanding at this point in time.<br />
<br />
The only opinion I strongly hold is that  alien interference with the human species is for the aliens benefit. If they are here walking with us they are doing so for reasons of their own that have little to do with us. Humans are not overly important to aliens. They are involved with us for alien reasons and should never be thought of as God like or our saviors. <br />
<br />
Aliens may be here as a school study or to live among an ongoing experiment . They may be studying ancient civilizations and walk among us as we would if we could return to living thousands of years ago on this planet. For them living with us would be like our living with the cavemen or in Ancient Rome or Egypt.<br />
<br />
I do not think we are being visited for the purpose of helping mankind. It is not the job of our visitors to fix our problems or interfere with our development. <br />
<br />
We are as important to them as lab mice and test monkeys are to us. I agree fully with Stanton Friedman who answers when asked why aliens do not talk to us with the response " Aliens do not talk to us for the same reasons I do not talk to the squirrel's in my back yard!" <br />
<br />
As far as souls. I think we have our trip through life as a human with our  human level soul . We will move along to another place or existence when our time on this earth ends. There is no reason to not believe that alien life forms are also walking with their souls along whatever point of the journey their souls are meant to travel. It  may be  likely all our souls will travel many roads. I just think humans are a starting point and mankind a low level form of life in this universe.<br />
<br />
Of course I  may be wrong about all of this. Until we advance enough to join those who are able to travel the stars we will have to wonder about many of these things.<br />
<br />
I hope that adds another view to this topic . If enough of you send me alternate views I  will gladly compile and  present them  in a  future article . Remember the topics of the paranormal are simply unknowns we do not yet understand so please keep your thinking clear and reality based.  Hollywood and Sci- Fi  TV have already  done enough damage to all these topics. <br />
<br />
For now contemplate the possibilities and pay close attention to the souls who walk among us . Is that a human your talking to or is it an alien in a humans disguise ?  Look carefully and decide for yourself!<br />

		<title><![CDATA[Sam's Strange Encounters With Flying Unknowns]]></title>
		<link>http://www.thesupernaturalworld.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26159</link>
		<description><![CDATA[One day while working in my office I received a telephone call from a man named Sam. Sam was a very nice well spoken man who told me he was not great at typing and knew it would take him hours to compile an email to me but wanted to tell me about a few odd events he had encountered. Sam and I talked for a long time that day. He told me about the strangeness that had invaded his life since he was a small child. When I first started to talk with Sam I thought I was talking to a man in his late 50's. He was quick, up to date on the world and bright. His voice was full of energy and quick to respond to my questions. I was shocked when Sam told me he was 80 years old. <br />
<br />
Sam told me that the odd things in his life began when he was a very young child. He told me that he remembered a very strange being visiting him as a child that fit the general description of a Gray or alien with extremely long fingers. This being frightened Sam as a  young child to the point he remembered the event his entire life. He recalled that he had more than one visit from this strange creature. He also was not clear about what took place when the creature appeared. <br />
<br />
Of course this is typical of those who experience encounters with unknown beings however Sam simply did not consider this as an option and remained confused on what took place when he was a child.<br />
<br />
You must understand it was the 1930's when Sam was a little boy. Aliens were not known or discussed at the time . UFO's were not part of society during this part of our history. What terrified him as a little kid was brushed off as silly nightmares or the imagination of a boy who thinks he saw the boogie man. The truth of the matter now seems to be that little Sam started his long lifetime encounters with the unknown as a small child who simply had to endure the events alone and confused . No one was thinking about or understood the concept of alien visitation or abduction during the 1930's.<br />
<br />
Sam understood that something odd happened to him as a child. He never could figure out what it was until later in his life when he continued to have strange events occur he could not fully explain. This was the time he felt something very odd was at play in his life.<br />
<br />
Interestingly enough as Sam spoke to me on the phone and related the strange encounters of his life he still seemed confused and unable to connect them to the idea he was abducted or encountered unexplained events with strange beings that most likely were alien . He simply seemed confused at the mysterious events of his life.<br />
<br />
The reason Sam called me was due to two events that he knew were UFO encounters. <br />
<br />
Sam lived most of his life in the city areas of Pennsylvania . During the late 60's he moved out to the country area around Valley Forge Park Pennsylvania with his wife and kids. The family enjoyed the country life. Often at night during the warm months Sam and his wife sat outside on their patio after the kids were in bed to enjoy the wide open country night sky. <br />
<br />
One night in the year 1967 during a clear early summers night the couple were sitting on their patio about 11:00 P.M. looking at bright night sky. While laying side by side in their lounge chairs Sam noticed a strange large gray cloud lingering oddly in the night sky. He could not stop looking at it as it obviously did not fit in with the rest of the sky which was clear and bright that night.. He realized that what he was looking at was not actually a cloud. This large gray blob was solid in structure blocking out the night sky behind it. It was a gray  opaque  cloud shaped object large and hovering on the one side of the night sky. <br />
<br />
As Sam sat looking at this strange object he noticed from the other side of the night sky six  bright lights traveling at an extreme speed in formation along the bright clear sky. He said the objects were cigar shaped , very high and extremely bright in pure light. No blinking or colored lights. <br />
<br />
The six UFO objects kept in formation flying towards the large gray mass. As the formation of objects approached the gray cloud  hovering object the six UFO's flying in formation approached the mass one after the other disappearing into a gray mist in to the large cloud like object.<br />
<br />
<img src='http://thesupernaturalworld.com/forum/uploads/scan1.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /><br />
<br />
Sam does not remember anything after that. He also told me that the time was a blur from when he watched this event take place until he remembers going back in to his house. It seems Sam cannot recall a few hours of  time that passed between seeing these objects and returning to the inside of his home. Sam and his wife  lost a few hours of time and have no recall at all what took place during them. <br />
<br />
Understanding that he was experiencing things others did not Sam started to accept the fact his life may have been different from others and the events that he encountered definitely were unexplained and unknown.<br />
<br />
Years later Sam and had another experience with a strange object . This time his daughter and wife  were both  with him. <br />
<br />
He was sitting in his house reading the paper near the front window. Something caught his eye from the window and Sam looked out to see what it was. A large field was across the street from his house.  There above the field about 375 feet from where Sam 's house was located hovered a pure white luminous globe. Sam called his wife and daughter to come see the strange object. Along with the family dog the three of them stood on their front porch to get a better look at the odd object. <br />
<br />
The family dog immediately began to bark at the object while the family stood and watched the strange brightly lit orb above the field.<br />
<br />
At first the object hovered in the night sky over the field . Slowly it started to float towards them until the object was only about 30 feet above the tree line. Sam described the light looking like a fluorescent light , round in shape and completely silent.  The object stayed over the field for about two minutes before it began to dim to a smaller orb  that now pulsated. The orb started to move in a wobble like movement until it silently  wobbled  into the distance. The family stood there watching as the object wobbled  away back to the night sky. As they watched the white orb it simply vanished as if a switch abruptly turned it off.<br />
<br />
<img src='http://thesupernaturalworld.com/forum/uploads/scan2.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /><br />
<br />
<img src='http://thesupernaturalworld.com/forum/uploads/scan3.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /><br />
<br />
The next day Sam spoke to his neighbor about the incident and was told that they too watched the strange light over the field. The neighbor told him others in the area also viewed the strange object.<br />
<br />
Sam never knew what the orb was but understood it was something unknown that he could not explain.<br />
He wanted to tell me  about these experiences as he knew they were not typical and most likely tied to those who visit our earth yet remain unknown and unexplained. He admitted he was open to any explanation as he knew the things that happened to him in his life could have many answers all which he felt were still unknown to us at this time.<br />
<br />
At age 80 Sam felt it was time to share these events with others who may also experience similar sightings or share the experience of lost hours and unexplained objects. Sam knows that the more we educate ourselves the better off we will all be .<br />
<br />
I agree fully with Sam that shared information is extremely important if we are ever going to understand what is visiting us so easily and openly yet constantly staying unknown and under reported and completely ignored by most in our society.<br />
<br />
I am sure many people have witnessed strange things in lonely places that hesitate to come forward due to societies reaction to things they do not understand. I often wonder why anyone can question why we do not have more information on the subjects of the paranormal when the first reaction is to ridicule or fluff off the mention of things we do not understand. <br />
<br />
Sam's reports were the kind of sightings I believe fully. Sam did not embellish  his report with fictional encounters or things that did not happen in order to try to sweeten the story. He simply told me what he saw , no more no less. To me these are the reports that will one day bring us answers.  . Unfortunately people tend to dress up their sightings or beef up their sighting because most real events are short and simple. Sam told it like it happened and I believe him fully.<br />
<br />
Sam is bright and  articulate. He was a delight to talk to. He  was good enough to send me   drawings of his orb  experience which I have included with this article.<br />
<br />
It is obvious that Sam is alert and pays attention to his surroundings. I believe if we all followed Sam's habit of looking at our sky and the things around us we would all see things we do not understand.  So many things  lurk around and above us all the time.. Who knows when you will be the next one to find you are looking directly into the eyes of the unknown! <br />

		<title>The Strange Light In The Australian Valley</title>
		<link>http://www.thesupernaturalworld.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26158</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Years ago when I first started to write about the paranormal I met a very nice  man named Peter. Peter lived in Australia and wanted to tell me about a very strange experience he had years before in a remote area of Australia while on a hunting trip with a friend.  Peter is what I would consider a man's man. He is a man of the earth. He hunts and is a fisherman. Peter is the kind of man who could survive in the wild if need be and is use to the outdoors and comfortable with his relationship to nature. Peter is also a straight shooter  who tells you how it is without lots of fan fare. He is without question not the type for fanciful stories or a man that seeks attention. Peter is a strong man who knows his place in this world and is happy with it. Peter is also a man who had a extreme event and lost time experience that haunts him to this day.<br />
<br />
About 30  years ago Peter went hunting  in the wilderness of Australia with his  friends  Frank and Dan. Frank was a good friend of Peters, Dan was a man Peter and Frank worked with. The three of them decided to go hunting late one night after work. They did this on a regular basis at the time.  The method used for this night hunting  is called spotlight hunting. The men  go out at night with  one man  driving  a pickup truck, another  aiming  a big flood or spotlight as the third man did the shooting.<br />
<br />
The three men were out in an area between a group of mountains on one side and a huge valley on the other. They were positioned  on the side of the mountains with the truck looking over and down into this valley. Of course at night the only thing clearly visible to them was what they caught on the road with the truck headlights and of course the areas they were flashing the large spotlight.<br />
<br />
The three men were going about the business of spotlight hunting  when all of a sudden Peter found he was  standing beside the truck he had just been driving. He does not recall how he transitioned from, driving to standing  outside next to his truck.  He found himself standing next to his truck  looking down into the valley with  both of his friends standing next to him on the side of the pickup truck.<br />
<br />
Peter and his friends were stunned as they stood next to the truck and looked down into the valley before them.  The entire valley in an instant went from the depth of a very dark night to a fully lit day.<br />
<br />
The entire valley in an instant  became fully lit exactly like daytime. Not by lights or flares not anything mechanical or man-made. The valley became daytime right before their eyes. They could not figure it out  They knew it was  1:00 A.M.. in the morning and that it was a dark night . Everything around them alongside the mountain looking down into the valley should be  should be  dark as coal.<br />
<br />
The three men stood there confused looking around as they tried to reason out why night instantly turned to day. Peter remembers  the daylight had a very gentle blue tint to it but otherwise was simply daytime.<br />
<br />
Peter does not recall anything else other than lighting up a cigarette while they looked around at the valley. He thinks he finished his smoke and  jumped into the truck to drive back home. Peter and his friends were about two hours out from where they lived in this valley-mountain area. Peter recalls arriving home and going to bed.<br />
<br />
The next day Peter saw his friends and they began to question what had happened the night before. Peter asked them if they remembered the strange light in the valley? Both of his friends  clearly did recall the valley all bright and lit like daylight. Peter  asked  his friends if they recalled the long drive home. They all looked at each other with confused expressions. None of the men could not recall the long  drive home or which one drove. They could not remember if they stopped for gas or what they talked about.<br />
<br />
The three men felt others who lived in the valley's area also  must have  seen the valley turn to day. The three men watched  television and waited for a report on the news however- no report was found. They bought the daily newspaper yet again nothing was found about the light in the valley.<br />
<br />
The  men were confused and did not know what to make of the ordeal. They even phoned the local police and asked them if the strange daylight in the valley had been reported  The police responded by asking the men  what they were drinking at the time of their hunting excursion!<br />
<br />
The three men were left with a mystery and no answers. They also had full lives and families , which they needed to attend to. The mystery of the valley had to be placed aside for the time being.<br />
<br />
Time went on, life happened, jobs changed and Peter lost touch with both of his friends. <br />
Fast-forward about ten years and we find Peter now living in a different area with different friends. Peter and his wife were invited to a BBQ by one of his buddies at work. While  at the party Peter talked to another party guest who just so happened to be a rather well known UFO investigator in the area.<br />
<br />
Peter mentioned his odd experience in that valley years ago to the UFO investigator. To Peters absolute shock the UFO investigator told Peter he was aware of that event as years ago  one of the men who experienced the event with Peter went to this man and told him all about the event.<br />
<br />
Peter felt oddly offended that his friend would do this without informing him. It also made him realize his friend felt that night was as unusual as Peter did.<br />
<br />
The UFO expert told Peter he had no other reports of that night other than that of  his friend Frank and now Peters version of the event.  The UFO investigator told Peter he did think something  very strange did happen to them. The investigator asked Peter if he thought he had been abducted. He told Peter that could explain the lost memory of how they stopped hunting without recalling doing so and finding they were standing on the side of the truck without any explanation. Peter felt more confused than ever about what took place that night.<br />
<br />
Again we fast forward  another ten years.  Out of the blue Frank called Peter up one day. During the phone call Frank said something about Peter. pinching the rabbit he shot that night of the light in the valley Peter did not  understand what his friend was talking about..  Frank told Peter he was going to be in his area the next day. . The two men arranged to meet  at Peter's homer the following day.<br />
<br />
The visit was going well when Peter recalled the odd comment his friend had made on the phone. . He asked Frank what he meant about "pinching his rabbit"<br />
 Frank looked at Peter and said :<br />
<br />
"The night of the light years back, don't you remember mate? I shot a rabbit just before the valley went to day. I threw it on the top of the truck, when we started off for home my rabbit was gone. I figured you pinched (took) my rabbit.."<br />
<br />
Peter looked at his friend stunned and replied :<br />
<br />
"I did not take you rabbit, I don't even remember you killing one!"<br />
<br />
The two men started to then get a bit cranky  over this mysterious rabbit. The subject of time  somehow came up. Frank was convinced the valley turned to light at exactly 10:30 P.M. Peter swears he also checked his timepiece at that moment and it happened at 1 :00 A.M. in the morning.<br />
<br />
The men just looked at each other. The truth was that neither one of them could recall the same thing, the same time, or what happened during the hours in question including the ride home.<br />
<br />
Stranger yet is that both men had a different memory of which friend was with them and what happened to him after that night. The entire event was turning into a bleak dark mystery they did not understand.<br />
<br />
I talked  for a long time  with Peter about this event. He admitted to me that this strange night of the unknown light and missing time has haunted him all these years.. Peter told me that no matter when he goes to bed or falls asleep he always fully awakes at 1: 00 A.M. each and every night of his life. He finally arranged his nights to not even try to head to bed until after 1:00 A.M..<br />
<br />
It is obvious Peter and his friends  had an encounter that night with the unknown. I  think it may have been possible that Peter and his friends were subjected to an unknown abduction that filled the hours of lost time the men cannot account for. I also think it best for them that what took place remains lost to their memory.  Anything that can turn a huge valley from night to day, take hours away from you and erase the experience from your conscious thoughts is best left alone.<br />
<br />
Talking to Peter I found him to be a logical man who realizes he had an encounter of  total strangeness . Peter has become far more careful where he goes and what he does since this event took place. He told me he does all he can  to protect his family from this type of encounter as well. Peter does take time to look at his surroundings and to provide a safe environment for those he loves. For Pete, hunting at night alone in the wild is definitely a thing of the past.<br />
<br />
I believe Peter's story without hesitation and hope those who take reckless risks in lonely places think twice after reading this story. Who knows what lurks beyond the valley light!<br />

		<title>Lied to Again What We Were Not Told- The Blackout of 1965</title>
		<link>http://www.thesupernaturalworld.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26157</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I continue to receive emails from across the country concerning sightings of UFO's , orbs of light and fire balls being seen during the East Coast Blackout of 1965. It is obvious at this point that something went on during that day in November far past a unexplained massive  blackout. It is also obvious that what actually went on that day was easily swept under the carpet and kept from the public. Many people did try to report strange sightings and events during that time however were met with total disregard , even annoyance and were easily silenced. <br />
<br />
The entire event is another example of how simple it is to steer society in to believing what they are told to believe as well as how easy it is to silence those who question what is going on around them. I have received enough reports to know what I witnessed that day was also seen by many others . It became apparent to me through my emails that many who read my account thought I was writing about a comet or something of that nature  streaking across the sky. Please understand I never intended to give that impression. What I saw was something out of control that was on fire crashing through the night sky at incredible speed . I do not think it crashed on earth as the size of the object would have made it impossible to cover up. The object may have made it to the ocean .  I also know stranger things than that happen all the time that we are not  privy to. <br />
<br />
I imagine a possibility of what happened to this enormous object could be many outcomes including it regained control , or burned up completely or made it out of our atmosphere and continued out into space. I have no idea. All I do know is that I saw it slam across the sky. It was huge, and it was on fire. <br />
<br />
For years I have been sent reports from people seeing strange crafts around electric wires . I am aware as I sure you are that many blackouts are associated with  UFO's.  I wrote an article a while ago about a feeding UFO spotted over a hub of electric towers, cell phone towers and a radio tower by a group of men  here on Long Island New York. The men were walking along a wooded area and came across a isolated area where this group of towers stood . Above this group of towers (which is a major part of Long Islands grid )  hovered a very large black craft with a ray of some kind connected into the tower group. A mini blackout was occurring at the time in the local area. The men were terrified and retreated quickly away from the area. The object did not seem to detect them and they were able to return to a main area. Shortly after their sighting a large blinking of the electric lights in the populated nearby area took place restoring the electric to the area ending the  mini blackout. <br />
<br />
I have read similar  accounts of things like this happening all over the world.  In the past few years I have been told by three different people that they had strange incidents happen while out at night in their own neighborhoods. The areas were all different. The people were all different, what they were doing at the time was different however what they witnessed was the same.<br />
<br />
Whether they were standing outside smoking, putting out the trash or walking their dogs the people all noticed a very dark large oval object that at first appeared to be a shadow moving slowing down the street over the tree line.  When they investigated a bit closer they realized it was a solid  dark object slowly hovering along the streets electric lines. All the people who described this same encounter had nearly identical descriptions of  what they saw and what the object was doing. Each one of them also told me independently that once they got a good clear look at the thing they became terrified and  quickly retreated to the safety of their homes.<br />
When the people called the local authorities to enquirer if anyone else had called in seeing this object they were brushed off and treated as our society has been trained to react to those who are brave enough to report these events.  <br />
<br />
I spoke to many educated people who have strong science backgrounds about these sightings . We had long discussions on what is likely going on with these crafts seen over our connections to our energy and communication grids.  The idea that the crafts are attaching to our wires of electric or communication  to upload or take energy was ruled out at once. Any craft able to do the feats that we witness surely are far advanced and have no use for our primitive energy. <br />
<br />
The fact is the majority of those I spoke to feel the crafts are downloading in to our grids. Of course they may upload all we transmit by way of our electric , transmitting and wireless technology. The  people with science backgrounds that I discussed this with feel it far more likely they are down loading what they want to invade and  pass into  our homes, our communication and entertainment devices. Any life form as advanced as those who have conquered space, time and universal or dimensional travel are certainly able to control and saturate  us with whatever they  wish via our antique systems. <br />
<br />
I think the likely hood of this is very high. I think the likely hood this has been going on for many years is also very high. I think mistakes happen even with advanced aliens . I believe it very likely that the massive blackout of 1965 and the sightings including the fire ball I saw may have been part of a huge mistake or accident by those who visit us. I think many unexplained blackouts can be explained the exact same way.<br />
<br />
Of course this is my opinion however I do believe it is one with legs, arms, and a very alien soul!<br />
<br />
I received a very interesting email from a reader who wanted to add his thinking to this subject .   <br />
<br />
<strong class='bbc'>Please see what he had to say about it all. His email to me is below:</strong><br />
<br />
Hi, Chris--<br />

I've got a few things relating to a fireball seen during the blackout of 1965 that might interest you.  Although coverage of a fireball apparently didn't appear in the New York Times or Washington. Post  the Chicago Tribune. did  run an article on  July 30th 1968 entitled "Hint UFOs Might Be Cause of Blackouts." It quotes Dr. James E. McDonald--a prominent atmospheric scientist and UFO researcher of the time--during testimony before Congress on the 29th that there  were reports in upstate New York of a glowing object at the instant the lights went out.  McDonald noted that hundreds of UFO sightings were reported to the Federal Power commission during the blackout.  At the time McDonald and several other scientists--including Drs. J. Allen Hynek  and Carl Sagan--were addressing Congress on the subject of UFOs.<br />
<br />
McDonald had a huge interest in UFO sightings that affected the power systems of cars, buildings, or electrical networks because of the physical evidence that might be left behind<br />
as well as any insights into the modus operandi of the phenomenon he might tease out.  To this extent he tape-recorded dozens of people about their UFO sightings and<br />
many of these recordings still exist.  Pertaining to the New York blackout he interviewed Robert C. Walsh, Deputy Commissioner for Aviation, Syracuse, NY  (interview was on 4<br />
August 1968) also a Mr. Weldon Ross and a Mr. Case.  He interviewed  this group of men all concerning UFO fireball sightings they'd had on 9 November 1965.  There may have been other recordings in this vein however they most likely no  longer exist as McDonald died in 1971.<br />
<br />
I believe the book INCIDENT AT EXETER by John G. Fuller also has a section on UFO sightings during the blackout, but you probably already know this.<br />
<br />
If I can be of further assistance along these lines, please let me know.<br />
<br />
My best to you, Chris!<br />

I think you will find this email as interesting as I did. It is really silly at this point not to realize that the major event that occurred over the East Coast of the United Starts in 1965 was not as simple as we were trained to believe. I think we are lucky it did not cause us more harm than a few hours of blackness. I also think it is becoming obvious we need to start to think about who and what may be downloading or uploading who knows what into the grids that we are all hooked into each and every day of our lives. I am beginning to think our thinking is not our own. I seem to believe this more and more as I purposely watch less television, turn off my computer and rarely ever switch on my cell phone. I do not want to be part of something I am not sure of. Being attached to anything for hours at a time that can be interfered with in many ways by many others is not my idea of a good time.<br />
<br />
I can only bring you that which is told to me and hope you all with give these things some thought the next time you spend hours talking on, texting on, sitting in front of or holding something that may be downloading right into your brain!<br />
<br />
The next time we suffer blackouts for no apparent reason lets become less gullible and more interested in what is really going on around and above us. The days of living in  darkness can only end if we decide to see the light of truth for ourselves.  <br />
<br />
Be careful out there  and please pay attention to what is going on right in front of your own eyes.<br />
