The Gods Must Be Crazy Redux

Oh so awesome when stories of weird sightings and findings happen upon the major media websites. Today we are treated to a story from Nambia where a odd looking metallic ball was discovered to have fallen out of the sky. Described as a "metal alloy known to man" and weighing in at about the size of my last girlfriend's bowling ball (approx. 13 pounds). Speaking of, I always would urge her to bump up to a larger sized ball, maybe 14 or 15 lbs., as she would find that she'd get more pin action out of it, but then we broke up due to unrelated developments. The bowling ball object was found in November and studied for possible trace elements or explosives that might be dangerous, but these tests were negative.
Conspiracy Alert: Ivan Heyn

Heyn was promoting policies of Christina Kirchner, president of Argentina. For those of you out there in conspiracy land remember, Christina's husband died in a sudden heart attack last year. Her recent efforts include prosecuting the Nazi-related right-wing generals who staged the 1976 Argentina coup d'etat and tortured and killed tens of thousands of Argentines, and redistributed their orphaned children. It sounds like a "shot across the bow" but just ambiguous enough to send a message without looking like an overt murder. We don't spin shit here! The Undersecretary for Foreign Trade was found hanged in his hotel room at the Mercosur summit in the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo. Kirchner is under watch, as it was reported that she is not taking this news very well. Suicide or not , world politics is so fucked up.

Edgar Mitchell Pussies Out, Gives NASA Camera Back

Edgar Mitchell, possibly the most outspoken of the NASA moon landing astronauts was originally set on selling a camera that was given to him as a token of appreciation for his dedicated service to the government. The data acquisition camera was up for auction at the asking rate of $60-80 grand. Unfortunately, Mitchell's handy Apollo 14 tool was ripped back by NASA, who claimed the equipment was still, technically, their property. Initially, Mitchell was fighting the good fight to be able to maintain custody of the item, but eventually succumbed to the legal pressure and settled. Mitchell likes to talk to the media about aliens, UFOs, etc. in his life since the 1971 landing. NASA wins again. Dammit.

So in Los Angeles and everywhere there exists something known as the hipster. They are smart and they are difficult to pin down to a wall but for an interesting reason. They have a raw type of ambition that is beyond any DSM diagnosis, or is it? They can only keep em happy for so long until they blow the lid off some of the lucky few who see them when they are broke. From their damn website: Songwriter and noise pop saboteur Emperor X traded his pursuit of a master's degree in physics for the life of an underground minstrel. For the past 10 years, C.R. Matheny has been traveling the country playing all ages shows and punk houses while self-releasing a string of albums that have quietly built him a devoted cult following. The Riverfront Times calls him a "heartfelt, imaginative song canon."

Is Work a Prison Sentence?

Here is the argument started by a poster on Above Top Secret ( doctornamtab) : Yeah we need jobs. As much as we need a prison sentence. I hate jobs. Not just my job - its actually pretty sweet. But the effect of the job itself is what makes jobs such an awful nuisance to modern man. So here's where we find ourselves in this Great Repression or whatever the media is calling it. People are out of work. But the jobs they're applying for are precisely the problem. People talk about the housing bubble. What we have is an employment bubble. Its popped. We have no more room for useless jobs. But we have people who need that job in order to secure food and shelter. So what, precisely, is the problem? That we have people out of work or that these people need work to get food and shelter? Is unemployment even a problem if work wasnt intimately tied to food and shelter? Can we change the world for EVERY single worker in the world if we break the bond between work and food, between s...

So where I live in LA, I can usually take a walk over to see AF1 when our president comes to town. This time was a little different as the plane was tucked neatly away, out of sight from us commoners. It's probably a smart thing to do, there's a lot of nuts running around this town but not more here than in Arizona. People read on the interwebs the konspiracy cites that mention the Prezi's visit to Denver a little too much, or is it too much? Deep down it bothers me that they are conducting some weird operations in the streets of some of the fine towns within Colorado, but the way this is going down is just plain nuts. What's really troubling is the shit falling out of the sky. Folks don't think it's a satellite. For example, we're referring to Argentina, of course. Where something that fell from the sky has killed someone, and injured some 8 others. I think what is troubling is that there is little doubt one of our government agencies, if ...

Or was it a "gas explosion?" You decide. Translation from Argentinian news report about an explosion that took a life yesterday. Of note: None of the videos FMPU has read since this incident include ANY audio (much less in foreign languages...) Residents say they saw a fireball in the sky before the explosion and a strange powder smell. In another report I was looking at the locals say there was no fire, only an explosive force, which is rather odd. The fact occurred minutes before 2 o'clock in the morning, in a building located on the intersection of Luis Vernet and Los Andes, a town of Monte Grande, Esteban EcheverrÃa partido. The causes of the explosion are still unknown, but the residents of the place that witnessed the fact claim "a ball of fire fell from the sky".

It's already September 20th! There are SOO many weird things happening this month, and most of it has happened since we've been following this comet Elenin. Personally, I've never believed Elenin to be more than a comet making it's way by Earth. However, look at all those other weird things going on during September: Reported Solar Flares - Don't forget there was an "unexplained" grid failure in Southern California this month (eventually blamed on butterflies!) right at the peak times of those reported SFs. Russia and the whole ISS situation... (evacuation? wow) The whole thing is odd and, well, it's very sudden and we get a rare glimpse of NASA in a state of nervousness. There was a crazy sighting over 3 states - a large, slowly moving orange/green meteorite thing that was even seen really clear here in L.A. - Now we are told there is break aparts, date changes, its gone, no wait, its coming...

Don't know what to believe about comet Elenin anymore? It's confusing , it's most likely nothing, so I'll just say it is both majestic and annoying. Houston... do we have a problem? The conversation is getting interesting. Lotsa dumbass hillbillies, stoners, pseudo-philosophers, junior astronomers, LULz clansmen and AnonMinusSymbiological poseur-ifics having a go . Seems weird that it would be "slowing up" as some folks have said, or even "breaking apart" as it's noted in the MSM. Also, the more you go looking for this sort of unearthly, high interesting story, there's going to be mystery added because we basically no nothing about it.

So it's been nearly TWO months since seminal UFO blogger, Andre, over there at The Alien Project , has posted anything. Obviously we wish for the best, but I'll say that when that guy is working on pushing forward the information, there is no slowing that cowboy. His post on Comet Elenin was impressive, and now with just a few days until it's perihelion, he's been surprisingly quiet. Of course there's a lot more than his information. Latest news is that the comet is breaking down . Is this going to be yet another false alarm? It's beginning to feel eerily similar to that hurricane Irene (in fact they sound like sisters). Last name, FAIL. Lots of information like this Discovery article provides more important NASA revelations the comet won't have any effect on Earth in case you're preparing to go to underground bunker before her arrival.

It's been a less than fantastic journey as far as my research into the ufo phenomenon is concerned.

Nothing helpful, nothing worthwhile. This covers the spectrum - from conspiracy theory to abductions, there's been nothing weirder than real life politics at the moment. That is where strange is. Project Blue Beam might be the one exception. It's the story behind a possible faux ufo experiment that will supposedly be used to fuck with people.

Post World War II images of the UFO are mixed up with the human psychology and psychonaut Terence McKenna went on many a journey to understand what sort of impact has already been made, and where the world of psychedelia will lead humanity in the future. The world is at one of those confounding moments, a point that Terence eloquently outlines on this historical consciousness romp. The UFO subject is really on the tips of the tongue of civilization. Lately, everyone has an opinion, but more importantly, people are not as embarrassed to come on out and talk about it pro or con (or con job).

This all seems quite Dark Mission-like, no? When you think about it, 1963 was not that long ago. Now that I have a little more perspective (on life, in general), it wasn't that long ago at all. My dad told me of his fascination with the paranormal that began in the 1950s and around the time of JFK's assassination, he was in his mid-20s and remembers some rumors about a JFK/UFO connection. These days I find it interesting that a lot of folks who are pretty current with their politics, media and newsworthy activities to go along with their fantastic sense of history have been warning us commoners of a potential false-flag event. So we weigh these things out and try to produce a valid conclusion. The news about newly released memos with information JFK made demands to see UFO files just 10 days prior to his death can either be perfect evidence of our knowledge of UFOs, or worse, act as a perfect part of the facilitation method in creating the most believable alie...

I've found that after many years of finding out more deep insight into our dearest Kubrick's life that his involvement in a segment of society to weird to describe (others might be able to, but not me) has actually become mainstream information!

Let me set the table. March is generally reserved as my favorite month of the year. The weather is perfect and warm here in L.A., it's my birthday month and I've traveled every March for the last 15 years. This year I celebrated the beautiful weather and my birthday. I visited Canada for the first time and went to Detroit to see a real-time ghost town. Nothing gets me down in March, and if you wanna see me in March you best reserve a time for next year. My men's basketball team in Culver City even won the championship last night for good measure. But this year was different for many reasons. Seems like I haven't done any good sky watching in ages, and I keep watching devastating video footage from Japan, and so things aren't as great as most other years. The following video does a mediocre wrap-up of March 11 happenings. I'm not sure what the video is hinting at around the 7 minutes mark, but maybe you can help with that.

Had to. Couldn't resist. Yeah, so just as soon as I write off the UFO reports this thing turns up and I'm like "WTF?" Leroy Vandervegt and his son, Nick, witnessed a UFO in Lafayette, CO. Oh that damn Colorado and their UFO reporting. Pretty standard, three lights, they appear red in the video but I think at one point they say the colors change. But, what they did say was interestingly put. They are asking for an answer to what they witnessed: "I don’t know what they are," Leroy Vandervegt told the Boulder Daily Camera. "All I know is that I had no idea what it is. It wasn’t a satellite; it wasn’t an airplane; and it wasn’t a helicopter." It should be very simple to answer. Wasn't a satellite, plane or heli, so it remains a UFO. Right? Or was it a fake? Watch the video and YOU tell me!
