| Recent Worldwide UFO / Close Encounter Reports - 11/9/2010 Posted: 09 Nov 2010 11:15 AM PST  Click for video **********  metro - There has been a surge in the number of UFOs spotted in the North recently, with the latest seen in the North Yorkshire town of Scarborough. Paul Sinclair, from Osgodby sent in footage to The Sun which shows a strange object flying in the sky. Mr Sinclair told the newspaper: 'It really looks like a flying saucer. Crowds of people saw it. There's definitely something happening here. 'My son-in-law filmed it for several minutes. There appeared to be two objects, one with a hooked tail, the other disc-shaped.' The North has seen its fair share of UFOs recently, with Rotherham, South Yorkshire and North Yorkshire the locations for what some believe to be alien visitors. Nick Pope, ex-MoD UFO expert, added: 'At the moment the North of England seems to be having more than its fair share. Talking about the UFO spotted in Paul Sinclair's video, he has claimed it is 'spooky'. 'It's pretty spooky. At first glance it appears to be a cloud - then it seems to be bombing along purposefully.' NOTE: Honestly, looks like a cloud formation...Lon **********  **********   After seeing the image I immediately sensed that I had photographed something unusual and it could not have been an insect or dirt on my lens (none of the other pics taken at that sunset time had any unusual features). **********   **********   |
| When the Skies of November Turn Gloomy Posted: 09 Nov 2010 10:02 AM PST  of the big lake they called "Gitche Gumee." The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead when the skies of November turn gloomy. ...Gordon Lightfoot, "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" freep - Among the never-before-released photos of the Edmund Fitzgerald that Great Lakes explorer Frederick Shannon has now shared with the Free Press was a picture with two unexplained orbs or burning objects about the size of golf balls. (Use link for copyrighted image) Known as Image 2028, the photo was among more than a thousand taken by Shannon from inside a two-person Delta submarine while hovering 530 feet below the surface of Lake Superior off the starboard (right) side of the Fitzgerald's bow in July 1994. "No debris was in the water, and nothing was dropped from the surface," Shannon said. "There is no logical explanation for their sudden appearance." The objects, which left a trail of bubbles in the murky photo, floated toward and disappeared into the hull of the ship, he said. ********** Fitzgerald legend and mystery live on 35 years after ship's sinking  Whatever the reasons, the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald 35 years ago this week endures as a subject of endless fascination. A gallery of previously unpublished photos of the ship's pieces on the bottom of Lake Superior drew more than 1.4 million page views Sunday and Monday on freep.com. And an accompanying story was the third-most-read on the site, running only behind accounts of the Detroit Lions' overtime loss. "That doesn't surprise me," Tom Farnquist, executive director of the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society, said Monday, as he fielded an annual round of calls about the Nov. 10 anniversary of the disaster and the ceremony that will mark it Wednesday at Whitefish Point. "There are schoolkids who do a report on it, and they just get obsessed into adulthood with it," he said. "It happened recently enough (1975) that a lot of people are still around who remember it. "And there are still probably more questions and theories than answers. ... There's a full explanation for all the other shipwrecks, but nothing was ever conclusive about the Fitzgerald. There were no survivors. And that song ..." "That song" is "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," by Canadian troubadour Gordon Lightfoot, which, despite its grim subject, climbed to No.2 on the Billboard pop charts within a year of the disaster and is replayed on radio stations around the country every November. Lightfoot was initially subjected to some criticism for making a commercial success out of the tragedy, but insisted that the song was a tribute to the crew and today enjoys a good relationship with the families of the men who were lost. "He came here in '95 for the ceremony, and the families asked him to never stop singing it because it is keeping those men alive," Farnquist said. He said about a dozen relatives of the 29-man crew lost on the Fitzgerald are expected at Whitefish Point for this year's observance. The society's museum at the Point -- the nearest land to the wreck site -- houses the 200-pound bell from the Fitzgerald, which was recovered in 1995. The Shipwreck Museum, at the end of a road leading to Lake Superior, is only open May 1-Oct. 31 but attracted 65,000 visitors this year. "Up where we are, you have to want to drive here, you're not going to happen upon us," Farnquist said. "They want to know about the Fitzgerald. Some people just want to stand on the shore and look out at the lake, as if they want to feel it." At 729 feet long, the Fitz was a giant among lakes freighters. It lies in only about 550 feet of water, a testament to the forces of nature on the Great Lakes. That may be some of the allure of the Fitzgerald story here in the Great Lakes State, where you grow up being warned "don't argue with the lakes" and get quickly to shore when skies darken. People from elsewhere who have no concept of the scope of the lakes -- or the fury they can unleash -- may wonder how such a mighty vessel could be destroyed in waters not nearly as deep as the boat was long. But those who have seen the lakes angry, those who know that the loss of the Fitz was, in fact, far from the worst of many such Great Lakes tragedies, understand the power that comes with the beauty around us. And each year, around now, they remember. They think about those 29 men and their mighty ship. And they wonder, as Gordon Lightfoot did, "does anyone know where the love of God goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours. Click for video  |

The power outages will render the shadow government defenseless for easy arrest and removal no matter where they are. Those that cannot be captured and removed to the new world will be destroyed where they stand. On Nov. 8th we are doomed! Pleiadians, Lizard People Going To Explode America While Obama In Asia wonkette - You feel that chill outside? No, of course you don't. The weather is getting warmer and warmer right now. Why? Ex-communist and ex-Nazi Pleiadians and Lizard People, that's why. Galaxy mother / BlogTalkRadio personality / future Fox News anchor Colleen Thomas has gone onto the YouTube from her well-appointed home to tell us that this country is going to explode today from dirty bombs because President Obama, in league with these evil forces, left us behind. Make sure your human meat is not overcooked by these bombs, because otherwise the reptilians won't be able to sell it on the black market, in space! And please somebody tell this to Obama, because he's going to die in a space tsunami over there after the Lizard People turn their backs on him. gawker - This is Colleen Thomas, a home health administrator turned physicist who specializes in the science of creation. She is also the "mother" of a race of good aliens here on Earth to defend humans from lizard people. Yes, lizard people! The tenor if this message is this: if Obama goes to India as planned (though, he's already there) he and all of his "cronies" will be killed by a tsunami. By the good aliens I think? Because Thomas doesn't like Obama, and would prefer it if he surrendered himself to one of his FEMA death camps so Thomas and her friends can... do something. I don't know! It's unclear. Very factual, but unclear. There's also something about Reptilians eating human bodies after natural disasters. Remember how there were no bodies recovered after the 2004 tsunami? Except for all the bodies they recovered and all the photographs of said bodies? Well, that. That's Reptilian conspiracy. They steal the bodies to eat them. Perfect. Thomas has a whole host of wonderful, doom-foretelling web videos that are maybe worth a watch if you care about the future of this planet! She's also doing the home health administration thing in the Sacramento area (most Mothers of all-powerful alien races live in or around Sacramento), in case you need anything like that. But yeah, mostly you should go to her for aether physics-related matters. Click for video NOTE: Another government conspiracy disciple warning us about the evil Obama. Now he's in league with the Lizard People and Pleiadians. I see a future for her as a Tea Party strategist. Anybody seen Xenu lately? Lon ********** Bizarre: Ten-day-old baby dies after going through entire spin cycle in washing machine Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1327463/Ten-day-old-baby-dies-going-entire-spin-cycle-washing-machine.html#ixzz14nucSQ3B dailymail - A ten-day-old baby girl died after being placed in a washing machine as it went through an entire spin cycle. The newborn's mother Lyndsey Fiddler put her daughter into the washing machine along with a pile of laundry. The tiny baby was inside the top loading washing machine for up to 40 minutes before being discovered. A relative who called in to see Fiddler found her passed out and the baby, called Maggie May, missing. She also heard a strange sound from the washing machine and when she opened the door found the crumpled body of Maggie mixed in with the clothes. In a frantic call to emergency dispatchers 26-year-old Fiddler is heard saying :'My baby is dead.' She can then be heard arguing with her aunt Rhonda Coshatt who is heard on the call saying: 'No I did not kill your baby, you did.' The gruesome death in Bartlesville, Oklahoma left many of the emergency crews and police who responded to the incident in tears. A veteran police chief, who has witnessed multiple murders and gangland shootings, said it was the most tragic crime scene he has ever investigated. Police have charged Fiddler with second degree manslaughter after initially arresting her on drug charges. They had been called to her flat on Thursday where they found the dead baby still inside the washing machine. An investigation revealed it had gone through a full-spin cycle before she was discovered. Bartlesville Police Chief Tom Holland said Coshatt had called in to see Fiddler, who has two other boys , to see how she was coping with her newborn daughter Family members had been concerned about Fiddler because of her past drug use. Earlier this year they had tried to get her parental rights revoked before the birth of her third child. The young mother had been arrested in April for taking drugs when she was four months pregnant. She is suspected of being hooked on crystal meth and taking the drug the night her daughter died. Holland said Coshatt walked into a grim scene. 'The mother was asleep and she had trouble waking her and heard the washer out of balance, clanging, so went to lift the lid so it would stop and in the washing machine, saw the baby,' Holland said. Fiddler's two other boys, aged four and three, were taken into care by social workers. The infant's father, Benjamin Trammel, said he can't believe his girlfriend deliberately killed their daughter. 'Inside my heart, I can't believe Lyndsey would have hurt our little girl. I don't believe it in my heart to be honest with you,' Trammel said. Paramedics had desperately tried to revive the newborn baby after she was pulled out of the washing machine, but she was already dead on arrival at hospital. Paramedic John Houser,who worked on the baby, said: 'Terrible. I don't even know how to describe it.' Fiddler has a long criminal history with arrests for assault, driving without a licence and not having her two older children in car seats. Police chief Holland said the investigation in continuing with many of his men deeply affected by what they saw. He said a veteran detective taking crime scene photos of the dead baby at the hospital had to step outside because he was overcome with emotion. 'I can assure you we're not going to leave any stone unturned,' Holland said. ********** Are paranormal books most likely to vanish from libraries without a trace? tucsoncitizen - by Cherlyn Gardner Strong - My minor area of study was Information Resources & Library Sciences at the University of Arizona. It's no surprise that I think that one of the greatest places on this Earth is the library. You can borrow almost anything at the library and take it home with you. The key word there is "borrow". For some reason, folks who "borrow" certain books on paranormal subjects, think that the word "borrow" means "keep". Maine's Sun Journal publishes a monthly column called "Weird, Wicked Weird" that covers unexplained and weird topics. The other day, staff writer Katherine Skelton took on this subject of stolen library books in a column, called: Weird, Wicked Weird: The occult. Witchcraft. Demonlogy. Library books that grow legs. From experience as a frequent borrower of paranormal books, I can tell you that many paranormal-themed books vanish without a trace, aside from the aforementioned occult titles. I don't know how many times an online catalog lists words like "missing", "lost" or "overdue" for a book I want to borrow. Before the ability to re-check out items online, I always returned to the library when the due date arrived to re-borrow the item. If someone else recalled the book, I would return it and wait patiently for the book to be returned to the library so I could check it out again. More often than not, the book never came back. Another great idea in history, of course, is the idea of Interlibrary Loan for heavily sought after items. Regardless, it is still a waiting game and more often than not, a library will have to seek out multiple libraries to obtain the book sought. It's a shame that some libraries have to send police knocking on doors to retrieve the books. It's even a bigger shame that libraries lose so much money replacing stolen books. Maybe that's why so many libraries are haunted by dedicated librarians. It is important that information is available for everyone to share. A librarian is the keeper of that information. It's infuriating that some people simply steal information meant for everyone. My frequent wish is that someday a dedicated ghostly librarian might follow some of these "borrowers" home. I wonder why libraries aren't demanding these titles in electronic form? NetLibrary and other electronic book providers are available through online library catalogs. The books "check themselves back in" on their due dates. It's not the same as holding a book, but it makes more sense to me than simply banking on books being stolen and spending the money to replace them. Of course, "borrowers" who don't return books deserve a piece of my mind. When I like a book enough to want to have it, I buy it. I might not buy the book 'new'. Used bookstores, and even used online booksellers, do often have these books at fairly good prices. There are plenty of book swapping/trading websites. You can see if any member has the title you want. Of course, don't swap that book you "borrowed" from the library. Swap one that actually belongs to you. ********** Mobile phone STD test? smh - People will soon be able to tell if they have an STD by urinating on a small computer chip and inserting it into a mobile phone or computer, doctors and scientists in Britain claim. But Australia's foremost sexual health expert is sceptical about the idea, saying it may be a long time before such a product is consumer-ready. The small devices, similar to pregnancy testing kits, will reportedly be able to give people a home diagnosis within minutes. Millions of pounds have been poured into the project to combat an STD epidemic in Britain, where infections reached a record 482,696 last year. "Your mobile phone can be your mobile doctor. It diagnoses whether you've got one of a range of STIs, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea and tells you where to go next to get treatment," Dr Tariq Sadiq, the sexual health expert from the University of London who is leading the project, told The Guardian. Sadiq said young people especially were embarrassed to see their doctor about STDs, which was making the situation worse. Mobile phones are increasingly being used for health purposes, such as the remote monitoring of elderly people. The Guardian reported that the developers of the rapid testing devices - which include experts in microbiology and phone operators like O2 - expected them to be sold for a pound each in vending machines in nightclubs, pharmacies and supermarkets. The research has been given the thumbs up by Professor Noel Gill, the head of HIV and STIs at the British government's Health Protection Agency, who said he hoped the application of new technology would reduce infections among young people. The HPA would coordinate large-scale evaluations of the technology within a network of collaborating STI clinics. But Professor Basil Donovan, head of the sexual health program at the University of New South Wales' National Centre in HIV Epidemiology & Clinical Research, said he maintained a "healthy scepticism" about the project. "If they say that's what they're aspiring to that would be terrific, but unfortunately there's no such test yet - at this stage it's just fantasy," Professor Donovan said in a phone interview. "There was a paper published just a couple of weeks ago where they looked at all of the commercially available home testing kits for chlamydia and they were just a joke - if someone had chlamydia there was only a 10 per cent chance that the test would show it up." But Professor Donovan said he believed it was a "great idea", concurring with Dr Sadiq that a big problem with current STD testing was that "it's too embarrassing and too expensive to test everyone all the time". "I think in our lifetime it will happen and at the moment there are rapid home tests available for some conditions like HIV that are actually quite good," he said. Professor Adrian Mindel, sexual health medicine expert at the University of Sydney and the director of the sexually transmitted infections research centre at Westmead Hospital, said the STD problem could not be solved with technology alone. "I don't think the issue is the rapid test, it's getting people to do the test that is the issue and that to me is the fundamental barrier rather than the technology," he said. "People have to identify themselves as being at risk and that is the difficulty at the moment." Professor Mindel said it was critical to educate young people about STDs, including that the majority of the infections don't have symptoms and the infection may be transmitted even when symptoms aren't present. ********** Ladybirds invade Croatian village croationtimes - A swarm of ladybirds landed in a village in eastern Croatia this weekend. Daily newspaper Vecernji List reported that thousands of yellow ladybirds occupied the village of Antunovac near the city of Osijek. "Old people say ladybirds bring luck. In that case the upcoming year might be lucky for us", a woman from Antunovac has said. "I'm 45 but have never seen so many ladybirds. They are coming into our houses, sticking to us", villager Vinko Bartoloti has added. Experts say climate conditions might have helped the spread of ladybirds. "There was more food for them at the end of the summer. So that could be the reason there were so many ladybirds in Antunovac", biologist Goran Vignjevic of the University in Osijek has commented. ********** Mystery Missile Launch Seen off Calif. Coast 11/09/2010  NBC's Pentagon correspondent, Jim Miklaszewski, reports that a missile launch would not have been planned so close to a major city, and at the very least, residents would have been warned a test was imminent. A senior Pentagon official told him, "This is bizarre."  |
| Farmer Claims He Was Abducted, Seduced By An Extraterrestrial Posted: 09 Nov 2010 08:09 AM PST  So the farmer from Heilongjiang and the robust extra-terrestrial seductress had intimate moments - while levitating - for about 40 minutes, claims Meng, who is the protagonist of what is perhaps China's best-known alien abduction report. Meng says he was working outside in Heilongjiang's Wuchang in 1994, when he saw a metallic shimmering on a mountainside. He went to investigate, believing it was likely a downed helicopter, when he blacked out. When he came to, he was confused and unable to communicate with other people. He had also developed an extreme fear of anything made of iron. Later that night, the female humanoid visited him, he says. "I didn't believe in aliens before I actually met them," he tells China Daily. "Seeing is believing. We cannot explain UFOs and aliens because our technology isn't advanced enough. But that doesn't mean such things don't exist." He passed a lie detector test conducted by the police. Meng said he met other extraterrestrials after that. "The aliens showed me a piece of crystal through which I saw forests, icebergs and fossil fuels on the Earth. "They told me about the current situation facing Earth's resources and warned me about the importance of environmental protection," he said. The aliens also told him that the offspring of him and the female extraterrestrial would appear 60 years from when they had sex. Meng's account is met with both skepticism and belief - not only by the general public, but also the country's growing community of ufologists, who study reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Chinese interest in, and sightings of, UFOs have been increasing, especially since one shut down Xiaoshan Airport in Zhejiang's provincial capital Hangzhou for about an hour on June 7, making world headlines. The hovering object affected 18 flights and about 2,000 passengers. There have been eight more mass sightings since, with the latest shutting down the airport in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region's Baotou city for about an hour on Sept 11, ABC News reported. Unexplained sightings reported to the Beijing UFO Research Organization (BURO) have increased from about 100 in 2008 to more than 200 this year, says the organization's Secretary-General Zhou Xiaoqiang, who was also part of the Xiaoshan Airport investigation team. "As material and cultural life improves in China, more people are able to use cameras to photograph and film the strange things they see," the 62-year-old says. "Also, media broadcasts are making the UFO a more popular concept in China, and the Internet makes it easier to file reports." Zhou points out that sightings spike around festivals. "That's because fireworks, lanterns, kites are everywhere. For example, a flashing triangular UFO could be a kite with lights," Zhou explains. Zhou puts the chances that UFOs carry extraterrestrial visitors at "zero" and says there have been less than 10 abduction reports in the country. Wang Sichao, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Purple Mountain Observatory in Jiangsu's provincial capital Nanjing, says China's UFO reports are "more credible" than those in other countries. And there are fewer abduction reports. "The aliens that are reported here are all different. Some are humanoid, some have large heads and eyes, some conduct sexual experiments, some speak Chinese and others use a kind of universal language. But the one thing all these claims have in common is a lack of solid evidence." Meng describes the extraterrestrials he says he met - he had a second encounter with others after he met the female - as speaking Chinese. "The aliens showed me a piece of crystal, through which I saw forests, icebergs and fossil fuels on the Earth," he says. "They told me about the current situation facing Earth's resources and warned me about the importance of environmental protection." But that's not all they told him, he says. "They said that 60 years from then, there will be an alien born with the genes of an earthling farmer, and I can meet him or her," he says, referring to the offspring he says he sired with the extraterrestrial female. While many within China's ufology community are skeptical of abduction reports such as Meng's, International Chinese UFO Association sighting investigation department head Zhang Jingping believes people should remain open-minded. "We have invented aircraft, and we have landed on the moon. Why is it impossible that aliens are visiting us?" says the 42-year-old. Zhang has led research on Meng's case, including arranging for police to administer a lie detector test, which he says Meng passed. Wang says China has about 60 researchers and 10 NGOs involved in serious UFO studies. The country's ufology community was put on the map in 2005, when Liaoning province's Dalian city was selected as the World UFO Conference site. American nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman, who worked on classified government projects for 14 years and is perhaps the world's most celebrated ufologist, told China Daily at the conference that, "ufology is blossoming in China". He has since been "impressed" by the serious discussions in the country's press, he says. "China's space program is moving rapidly, and so is its serious discussion of UFOs," he says. "I am indeed optimistic that Chinese researchers will be making more contributions to our knowledge of this very important phenomenon - visits to Planet Earth by intelligently controlled alien spacecraft." Be they unexplained natural phenomenon or the cruisers of universe-trotting ETs - or something else entirely - UFOs are unlikely to stop appearing over China anytime soon. And when they do appear, there will be a growing number of Chinese with their eyes on the skies.
