HOT OFF THE PRESSES! America's Strange and Supernatural History
Find out what the "Powers That Be" Don't want you to know regarding the truly hidden - occult - history of the United States.
No
one would likely dispute the fact that times are stranger in America
than ever before, and indications are that things are getting weirder
with each passing day. But a look at our hidden – SECRET – history
alerts us to the startling fact that our country has been steeped in
“high strangeness” since its founding fathers signed the Declaration of
Independence and, provocatively, even before.
It is
nevertheless apparent that our proud nation owes a great “debt of
ingratitude” to the mysterious, the macabre, the downright bizarre and
the unseen realm of the occult. Did the ancient Lemurians, a Pacific
Ocean race similar to the fabled Atlanteans to the east, erect the
mysterious walls found in the eastern part of the San Francisco Bay
area? Writer Olav Phillips explores the enigma first hand.
Sean
Casteel provides an overview of historical incidents of cannibalism,
stories that go back as far as “The Starving Time” of the Jamestown
colony in 1609, and Wm. Michael Mott offers up some of the UFO and
creature sightings he has collected from the state of Mississippi.
Publisher/writer
Timothy Green Beckley and his friend Circe returned to Sleepy Hollow,
New York – of “Headless Horseman” fame – and discovered that paranormal
activity is still rampant there, while author Tim Swartz would like
suitable explanations for all the supernatural mysteries of his native
Indiana.

- THROWING MONEY TO THE SKY DEPARTMENT -
Saucers, Snitches and Secret Space Programs By Christopher Loring Knowles

You
can tell the Cold War is back for real when the US starts funneling
money into exotic space weaponry. Not to mention the fact that Russian
warplanes are buzzing Europe and China is openly discussing its plans
to drive the US out of Asia, claiming the Pacific Ocean as its Mare
Nostrum.
What we know about the space budget so far:
Last year, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced a new “offset
strategy” to develop breakthrough solutions to secure American
technological dominance into the next century. This year, the budget
request increases money for research and development by about $500
million, bringing it to $13.5 billion.
It
will be a great year for futuristic technologies that sound like they
come from a comic book. But the budget also shows that every new
invention has consequences and can raise new problems even as it solves
others.
Obama requested a slight increase
in spending for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or
DARPA, which would bring their budget to $3 billion to work on next
generation technology related to everything from synthetic biology to
space planes. Money for electronic and laser weapon systems jumped to
$67 million from a bit over $55 million last year.
So in other
words, Star Wars. Democrats shat themselves silly when Reagan proposed
it in the 80s but are silent as church mice when Obama shovels millions
into the program today. Which shows what a farce our political system
is. And of course, drones are big, big business as well. Tell me this
doesn't smack of Skynet:
The document lays
out a wish list of capabilities for the drones of tomorrow. They
include the ability to process vast amounts of sensed data rather than
just transmit it, stay over a target for days and communicate with a
wider variety of other systems. The missions also expand from just ISR
and close ground support to air combat (presumably drone on drone) and
even “non-lethal crowd control.”
The
request also asks for 29 new Reaper drones, which are in demand to
fight terrorism, a larger buy than last year.
DARPA's
not the only darling when it comes to government largesse. The Military
wants in on the Star Wars Gravy Train and its getting its wish:
The military has its eyes turned again to space. The budget requests $7
billion for Defense Department space programs. Expenditures for Navy
satellite communications systems rose from $11 million to nearly $21
million. Spying from space also became more expensive. The request for
space-based reconnaissance jumped from $78 million to $100 million this
year. Architecture and support for space electronic warfare rose from
$18 million to nearly $30 million. The Air Force space situation
awareness program rose from $9 million to $32 million (in the form of
two satellites) and the nation’s $200 million dollar “space fence” a
system to track bits of space debris and objects orbiting the Earth,
received more money, bringing the total cost for that program to $243
million.
243 Million for the space janitor program? Forgive me
if I doubt that the "space fence" was created simply to clean up
orbital garbage. Not at that price tag.
The Secret Space Program has its hat out too:
But the military has plenty of secret spending as well. Spending on
classified Air Force programs increased from $14 billion to $15 billion
this year.
And the gov't is already parceling out the Moon to
the highest bidder. In this case the highest bidder is none other than
Robert Bigelow.
According to documents
obtained by Reuters, U.S. companies can stake claims to lunar territory
through an existing licensing process for space launches
The Federal Aviation Administration, in a previously undisclosed
late-December letter to Bigelow Aerospace, said the agency intends to
“leverage the FAA’s existing launch licensing authority to encourage
private sector investments in space systems by ensuring that commercial
activities can be conducted on a non-interference basis.”
In other words, experts said, Bigelow could set up one of its proposed
inflatable habitats on the moon, and expect to have exclusive rights to
that territory - as well as related areas that might be tapped for
mining, exploration and other activities.
“We didn’t give (Bigelow Aerospace) a license to land on the moon.
We’re talking about a payload review that would potentially be part of
a future launch license request. But it served a purpose of documenting
a serious proposal for a U.S. company to engage in this activity that
has high-level policy implications,” said the FAA letter’s author,
George Nield, associate administrator for the FAA’s Office of
Commercial Transportation. .
Company founder
Robert Bigelow said he intends to invest $300 million of his own funds,
about $2.5 billion in hardware and services from Bigelow Aerospace and
raise the rest from private investors.
That's a serious chunk of
change. You don't spend that on an experiment. It's safe to say the
plans have been drawn up and the program is underway. And you gotta
love the governmentalese here: "We don't mean six, we mean a half
dozen":
The FAA’s decision “doesn’t mean that
there’s ownership of the moon," Bigelow told Reuters. "It just means
that somebody else isn’t licensed to land on top of you or land on top
of where exploration and prospecting activities are going on, which may
be quite a distance from the lunar station.”
The best part about this is that it will drive the debunkers out of their fedoras.
CSICOP
relic Robert Sheaffer detailed how Bigelow- a mogul with very deep
pockets, whose inflatable space habitats are serious business in the
space field- engineered the merger/takeover of MUFON and the subsequent
monopoly of what was left of serious UFOlogy.
Doing so wasn't
one of Bigelow's more vexing challenges- since Laurence Rockefeller's
death, UFO organizations haven't had the endless channels of corporate
and foundation money the major skeptic groups receive*. They didn't
have much to write home about even when Rockefeller was alive.
And
not a lot of players want to publicly associate themselves with the
field, in no small part due to the endless squabbling and backstabbing
UFOlogists are notorious for.
Bigelow’s
proposal is to generously fund the efforts of MUFON investigators to
enable them to respond quickly to alleged UFO incidents. The agreement
between Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) and MUFON sets
up a “Star Team Impact Project” (SIP), with an initial funding period
from five months to a year, with the option to renew for a second year.
Investigations will be limited to cases where physical effects of a UFO
are reported or where “living beings” are allegedly sighted or where
“reality transformation” is said to occur ...Anyone who is already a
MUFON investigator can apply for a position with SIP, although new or
inexperienced investigators are expected to demonstrate their skills by
performing investigations of routine UFO sightings before moving up to
SIP.
Sheaffer ended his piece by predicting failure for NUFON
(sour grapes, certainly, in his case), but from what I've been told,
Bigelow continues to recruit major people in the field. He's famously
secretive, but an investigation of Bigelow and Skinwalker Ranch by
Jesse Ventura on Conspiracy Theory got a lot of people who are
generally skeptical of topic talking. The BAASS continues to keep its
findings secret but Bigelow is said to have personally confirmed the
validity of the ETH on a Coast to Coast appearance in 2013.
I
recommend readers pick up the second volume of Jacques Vallee's
Forbidden Science, his memoirs from the heady days of Silicon Valley,
when all the technology we take for granted was being conjured. Most of
those cats were as woo-woo as it gets. Computer technology was part and
parcel of their war against consensus reality and a determination to
hack the mainframe of corporate entropy. It all came apart when a
conspiracy of superannuated grammar school snitches (and much worse)
declared war on unconventional thought.
The skeptics were in
fact very much part of the corporate oligarchy's strategy to reassert
its dominance by driving the unconventional thinkers out of the
citadel. This isn't speculation on my part- this was a deliberate
strategy. It's no accident that real innovation ended a long time ago,
that what we have now is just endless tinkering. It's why you have 140
characters instead of a jetpack.
Because you'll often find that
the people who move things along, who change things, who make something
out of nothing are usually tuned into different channels. (You think
it's coincidence that the new HQ of Apple- the Valley's last major
hardware pioneer- looks like a flying saucer?)
The question becomes are they receiving signals from different transmitters?

- RETURN TO THE DAYS OF THE CONTACTEES DEPARTMENT -
Orfeo Angelucci’s Secrets of the Flying Saucers By Sean Casteel

After
covering UFOs, alien abduction and many other paranormal subjects for
over 25 years, I thought I’d seen it all. But once again, publisher,
editor, writer and talk show host Timothy Green Beckley has shown me
just how wrong that assumption can be. Tim recently sent me a book that
contains two full-length tomes by the late contactee Orfeo Angelucci
combined in one volume. Though the books were originally published in
the 1950s, they contain so much that is relevant and precious about UFO
contact and the mortals who come under their purview for reasons they
themselves do not comprehend.
In the case of Orfeo Angelucci, I
would hazard a guess that he was chosen because of his sincere,
guileless innocence. Orfeo was 39 years old when he had his first
consciously-recalled alien encounter, but there is an undeniable
childlike quality that comes across in his writing that makes it
difficult to imagine he was seeking fame or attention or money. He
honestly believed that the Space Brothers – who had walked into his
life from out of the blue – had charged him with the mission of making
their presence and good intentions for mankind known.
Orfeo’s
first book was called “The Secret of the Saucers” and came out in 1955.
He begins by telling the story of his childhood, which he spent a great
deal of in bed due to a poorly diagnosed aliment the doctors called
“constitutional inadequacy.” The symptoms included great physical
weakness, lassitude, lack of appetite and malnutrition. He tired easily
and the slightest physical effort left him weak and exhausted. He also
suffered from migraine headaches and it seemed at times that his every
nerve and muscle ached with excruciating pain.
When Orfeo was in
the ninth grade, his doctors advised that he leave school and continue
his studies at home. Orfeo liked the arrangement because it allowed him
to do all the reading in the various sciences that he wished. After a
year of plenty of rest and a weight-building diet, the doctors said he
could return to school. But since his family had suffered some
financial reverses in the meantime, it was decided that he should
instead go to work for his uncle’s flooring and stucco company. Which
again left him with the freedom to voraciously read books on science.
In
1936, Orfeo met his future bride, Mabel Borgianini, an Italian girl who
he says was a direct descendant of the famous Italian Borgias. Her
happy, cheerful disposition helped keep Orfeo from brooding over his
ill health. A year after their marriage, they had their first son,
Raymond. But a short while later, Orfeo had a complete physical
breakdown that left him bedridden in a hospital for 18 months. His body
and mind were so tortured that he longed for the release of physical
death. When he recovered, against all odds, he returned to work and
began classes in night school, determined to pursue his interest in the
sciences.
Orfeo had had a lifelong phobia about thunderstorms,
which had caused him miserable physical and psychological symptoms
since he was a child. Because his beloved native New Jersey was often
subject to violent thunderstorms, he was glad when Mabel began to talk
of moving to the West Coast, where thunderstorms rarely happened. In
November 1947, Orfeo, Mabel, Richard and their second son, Raymond, set
out by car for Los Angeles. After spending some pleasant, “touristy”
time exploring the region, the Angeluccis decided to make their home
there.
This period, 1947 and afterwards, was when flying saucers
first began to make headlines worldwide. Orfeo was completely
disinterested in the phenomenon and figured they were only a new type
of aircraft being secretly developed and that the information would
come out in due time. Orfeo found work at the Lockheed Aircraft plant
in Burbank in their metal fabrication department and, later, their
plastics division, working the swing shift.
In “The Secret of
the Saucers,” Orfeo recalls the exact date – Friday, May 23, 1952 –
when his journey of discovery and revelation began. He was at his job
at Lockheed when, around 11 P.M., he felt an odd pricking sensation
running through his hands and arms and up to the back of his neck along
with a slight heart palpitation and a sense of his nerves being on
edge. These were the familiar symptoms that always came before a bad
electrical storm. He expected to see heavy threatening clouds in the
sky, but the Southern California night was exceptionally clear and the
stars were bright. He was puzzled but continued working. When the
quitting whistle sounded at 12:30 A.M., he was exhausted almost beyond
his capacity to endure.
As he drove home, he felt increasingly
nervous and tense and said he sensed a force of some kind around him.
He wondered if his old illness was returning and whether he might again
be confined to bed with excruciating pain. He noticed that his eyesight
was glazing over and the sounds of the traffic around him were
strangely muffled and far away now. The night seemed to be growing
brighter, as though enveloped in a soft golden haze.
Next, he
saw a red, faintly glowing oval-shaped object that began to increase in
brilliance. The object stayed in view as he continued to drive home
until it hovered over a deserted stretch of road called Forest Lawn
Drive. As the pain of his symptoms increased, the object veered sharply
to the right. It was then that it occurred to Orfeo that he might be
seeing a flying saucer, the sort of thing he had read about for years.
Two smaller objects, green in color, came out of the red object and
hovered only a few feet away. They were three feet in diameter and hung
there silently while their green light fluctuated rhythmically.
Then,
from what seemed to be an area between the two eerie balls of green
fire, came a masculine voice speaking perfect English. Orfeo writes
that at that point he was in a state of shock and therefore cannot
report the conversation verbatim. He does recall, however, that the
first words spoken to him were, “Don’t be afraid, Orfeo. We are
friends!” Then the voice asked him to exit his car, which he did, in
spite of feeling so weak and shaky that he could barely stand.
The
kindly voice told Orfeo that the green objects were “instruments of
transmission and reception” unlike anything developed on Earth and that
they were being used for Orfeo to communicate with “friends from
another world.” Orfeo dimly remembered thinking that he should say
something but was stunned into utter silence, wondering if he had
completely lost his mind.
The voice began to speak to Orfeo
about things no stranger could know, at which point all traces of fear
left Orfeo. But he suddenly felt thirsty. The voice, apparently reading
his mind, directed Orfeo to drink from a goblet that suddenly appeared
on his car’s fender. Drinking the delicious beverage caused his various
discomforts to vanish completely and gave him a sensation of strength
and well-being. He thanked the voice and the goblet disappeared.
Then,
in the area between the two green fireballs, a luminous,
three-dimensional television screen began to gradually take form.
Images of the heads and shoulders of two persons appeared on the
screen, one male and one female. The two figures struck Orfeo as “being
the ultimate of perfection. There was an impressive nobility about
them” and they “emanated a seeming radiance that filled me with
wonder.” Orfeo also had the confusing feeling that the two figures were
familiar, as though previous encounters with them were stored in his
memory.
They seemed able to read his mind at its deepest levels,
and Orfeo felt he stood before them in a “kind of spiritual nakedness.”
There seemed to be a telepathic exchange of information happening, with
thoughts and understandings that would have taken hours of normal
conversation passing between Orfeo and the people on the screen in mere
seconds. Then the two figures faded and the screen vanished. Orfeo was
on the point of blacking out when the initial voice spoke again, saying
that Orfeo was understandably confused but that he would comprehend
everything that happened later on. “The road will be open, Orfeo,” the
voice assured him.
The thought flashed through Orfeo’s mind, “Why have they contacted me – a humble aircraft worker – a nobody?”
The
voice explained that their selection process was not conducted with the
limited senses of man but was based on their superior understanding of
what an individual Earthling really is. They were also aware of how
flying saucers were a source of humor to most people, as it was meant
to be. Earth was supposed to become accustomed gradually to the idea of
space visitors, and it was good that they be taken lightly at first for
the sake of human civilization’s stability.
Although the Space
Brothers would help mankind as best they could, there were cosmic laws
that prohibited interfering too directly in the evolution of a given
planet. Earth must work out its own destiny, but the danger is greater
than people realized. The voice alluded to an evil enemy that was
preparing secretly and in vast numbers to do what damage it could to
the people of Earth. This is interesting because it involves a more
complicated moral scenario than mere alien saviors preaching an
impossible kind of “sweetness and light.” Instead, they freely
acknowledge that there are many battles to be fought and that mankind
is up against subtle, insidious influences intended to lead him on the
path to his own destruction.
“As I listened to that kind, gentle
voice,” Orfeo writes, “I began to feel a warm, glowing wave of love
enfold me; so powerful that it seemed as a tangible soft, golden light.
For a wonderful moment I felt infinitely greater, finer and stronger
than I knew myself to be. It was as though momentarily I had
transcended mortality and was somehow related to these superior beings.”
The voice told Orfeo that he would be contacted again and said a warm goodnight, calling Orfeo “friend.”
“Bewilderment,
incredulity, shock and stark fear flooded over me,” Orfeo writes. “I
had the sudden conviction that I had lost my mind and gone raving mad.
What I had witnessed, I felt, just couldn’t have happened.”
He
got in his car and drove home, desperate to return to “the world of
sane reality.” Mabel asked why he was so late and looked so terrified.
He said he would tell her tomorrow, which he spent in bed, still
feeling the aftereffects of what he’d experienced. When he told Mabel
the incredible story the following day, she believed him, saying he had
always been truthful with her.
Two months later, in July 1952,
Orfeo had an experience onboard a UFO in which he was able to view the
Earth from outer space. Again, an alien voice spoke to Orfeo as the
awestruck mortal sat in a form-fitting chair on the craft: “Orfeo, you
are looking upon Earth – your home! From here, over a thousand miles
away in space, it appears as the most beautiful planet in the heavens
and a haven of peace and tranquility. But you and your Earthly brothers
know the true conditions there.”
As he listened to the tender,
gentle intonations of the wonderful voice, Orfeo began to be
overwhelmed by sadness and wept, something he had not done since
childhood. The tears worked to cleanse and purify him and to free him
from the unfeeling shell of “The Reasoner” he had come to pride himself
on being as an adult.
The voice seemed to join in Orfeo’s
weeping and said, “For all of its apparent beauty, Earth is a
purgatorial world among the planets evolving intelligent life. Hate,
selfishness and cruelty rise from many parts of it like a dark mist.”
Again,
the Space Brothers acknowledge their opposition to a dark and evil
force working in our world, something similar to the war between the
Archangel Michael and Satan prophesied in the Book of Revelation. The
allusion to an armed conflict between good and evil over the destiny of
mankind adds a degree of moral complexity to the overall mix that ups
the realism factor greatly.
Orfeo is then taken further out into
space and shown demonstrations of various other types of alien
spacecraft while the voice continues to speak of the love for mankind
that is inherent in everything the Space Brothers do. Orfeo hears
beautiful music as he flies out into deep space, the music of the
spheres, an expression of how vibrantly alive the stars and planets are
throughout the universe. But he continues to cry in shame, as though
repenting for the sins of all mankind at once.
“I wondered how those great beings could love such a one as I,” he writes, “or any of mankind.”
This
echoes the Bible, Psalm 8: 3-4, “When I look at thy heavens, the work
of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast established;
what is man that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man that thou
dost care for him?” This is a recurring pattern among many contactees
of Orfeo’s period and after him as well. Their experiences relate to
what is found in ancient scriptures, including the Bible, seamlessly
and without apparent conscious effort on the contactee’s part. One is
therefore led to conclude that the Space Brothers of our present era
are the same entities we call Ancient Astronauts when they appear in
the context of our earliest religious writings. The fact that they also
seem to be at war with some form of devil – with mankind as the
battlefield – also speaks to their timeless presence among us. They are
more ancient than we know what ancient means.
Orfeo then
undergoes a baptism not in water but in light. He sees his entire life
flash before his eyes in a panoramic vision and fears that he is dying.
He regains something more like normal consciousness and is returned
home. He had felt a burning sensation below his heart during his
profound “initiation,” and as he undressed for bed he saw a circular
burn about the size of a quarter in that same place. He felt it was a
sign from the Space Brothers intended to help him remember that the
experience had been physically real as he faced the cold light of the
coming days.
Orfeo’s next adventure with the Space Brothers was
a face-to-face meeting with a being he called Neptune. It was August 2,
1952, and Orfeo was taking a late evening stroll near the Hyperion
Avenue Freeway Bridge, where he had earlier seen the ship that took him
out into space. Neptune appeared from out of the darkness and called
out, “Greetings, Orfeo!” The Space Brother had the same noble, handsome
countenance as the figures Orfeo had seen on the mysterious viewing
screen during his first encounter.
After some introductory chitchat, Neptune began to deliver the same woeful message about Earth and its dark future.
“I
may tell you,” Neptune said, “that, to the entities of certain other
worlds, Earth is regarded as ‘the accursed planet,’ and ‘the home of
reprobate, fallen ones.’ Others call your Earth ‘the home of sorrows.’
For Earth’s evolution is evolution through pain, sorrow, sin, suffering
and the illusion of physical death.”
One is reminded that one of
the most basic tenets of the Buddha is that, “All life is sorrowful,”
but Neptune also prophesies that mankind will survive the inevitable
warfare of Armageddon and rejoice in the coming of the New Age in which
people will forget their bitter hurts and build constructively together
upon the solid foundation of the Brotherhood of Man. He tells Orfeo not
to doubt the reality of what he is experiencing and that Orfeo’s
account of his encounters will give greater faith and inner conviction
to only a few – but it is an important few.
“The road is open now,” Neptune said. “Walk it as you will.”
Orfeo
had been writing about his experiences and hoped to find a publisher
willing to believe his story enough to print his manuscript and get it
out before the public. When there were no takers, he began to consider
the idea of self-publishing his narrative in newspaper form and calling
it “The Twentieth Century Times,” in spite of Mabel’s objections.
Orfeo
was already suffering a great deal of “ribbing” about his interest in
UFOs from his coworkers, and seeking further public attention would
make life even more difficult for his sons, whose schoolmates had
learned of his flying saucer fascination. But the Space Brothers had
given him such an intense sense of mission about spreading the word
about them that he pressed on heedlessly in his efforts to get his
story out. He was also giving weekly lectures about the Space Brothers
to increasingly larger crowds at a local social club and was pleased to
find a sympathetic, believing group of kindred spirits.
With the
help of Max Miller, the president of Flying Saucers International, an
organization devoted to the study of UFOs, Orfeo put together the
Flying Saucer Convention at the Hollywood Hotel. The featured speakers
included Frank Scully, George Van Tassel and George Adamski, some of
the biggest names in the field at the time. The crowds overflowed out
onto Hollywood Boulevard to hear the message, but there were also the
obligatory negative voices being heard as well. A woman who had been
continually buttonholing Orfeo to quote the scriptures and in general
revile his efforts finally succeeded in getting Orfeo to display some
real anger, an unusual emotion for him to feel.
“When at last I
literally blew my top,” Orfeo writes, “she joyfully picked up her data
and departed, shouting that my temper proved I was an agent of the
devil.”
Orfeo also reports on attending a convention of science
fiction writers at the Hotel Commodore in Los Angeles where he was
surprised to learn that UFOs were now a taboo subject for this
particular kind of literati. Orfeo says this was most likely due to the
fact that the Space Brothers are beautiful, heavenly entities but it
was tales of horror and fear that sold books.
“But the joke is
on them,”Orfeo writes, “for reality has slipped quietly past them and
established new frontiers of its own. The science-fictioneers were
induced by subtle forces to ignore flying saucers, as were many other
materialistic sources of information. During the welcome lull, the
actual flying saucer phenomenon and the extraterrestrials were left to
the inexperienced but honest handling of rank amateurs. At first these
men were inept and inarticulate, but they are finding their voices and
their numbers are rapidly increasing. The Space Brothers had actually
only cleared the atmosphere for them. Had the professional spinners of
horror fiction stuck to the theme of flying saucers, the true contacts
should never have been able to perform their missions.”
Whitley
Strieber, the abductee whose bestseller “Communion” put the alien
abduction phenomenon in the spotlight for a new and sizable audience in
the 1980s, once made a similar remark. He said the Visitors had
ultimately bypassed the government and the media and gone straight to
the people who interested them, what we might call a “populist” or
grassroots effort independent of the sanctions of officialdom.
There
is much more to the story Orfeo Angelucci tells in “The Secret of the
Saucers,” including a brief but beautiful conversation with the living
Jesus Christ and a short visit to the paradise that is the Space
Brothers’ home world. Orfeo died in 1993 at the age of 81 and
presumably went to dwell there with them as he awaits the New Age on
Earth that his life and work were part of creating.

'Earthquake Lights' Phenomena Findings Prove Legends Are True By Dan Wighton

Scientists
and geologists have been researching earthquakes for centuries – but
until recently, we knew very little about another associated phenomenon
– rare and mysterious ‘Earthquake Lights’. And no, they’re not UFOs.
Earthquake
lights have been noticed and catalogued for centuries, however those
who witness the lights tended to think they were associated with
something a little more supernatural – think UFOs or spooky sporty.
The
lights are usually a blue and white flash and glow before and during
earthquakes – so it is understandable that plenty of folks thought
there was something more spooky, spiritual and scary going on.
But
as science has a tendency to do, it has debunked many of these
spiritual supernatural superstitions, in favour of a relatively simple
explanation – lightning.
Well, kinda lightning – but not as we know it.
Dumbing
it down a tad, the cause of earthquake lights has suggested as
something like ‘ground lightning’. Regular lightning – the one that
lives in the sky – is made by a build-up of electricity in clouds. It
follows then that ground lightning is caused by the build-up of
electricity in the ground.
But earthquakes are caused by tectonic plates, right, so what does electricity in the ground have to do with earthquakes?
That
part of the equation is still relatively uncertain. Researchers know
that there is a build-up of some kind of electric substance before
earthquakes, but they don’t know exactly how or why.
They have
even reproduced the effect in controlled testing – using flour and
Tupperware containers creating electricity along fault-lines – but
there remains a number of competing theories as to the source of the
effect.
One principal theory advanced by NASA and San Jose
University’s joint investigative team is that certain rocks – not all
rocks – are stressed by nature, activating electric charges in the
earth.
Where these particular rocks are accompanied by vertical faults in the ground, you have your formula for earthquake lights.
This
also explains why not all earthquakes are preceded by lightning – it
depends on the rocks. For you rock nerds out there, basalts and gabbros
are the likely culprits, due to cracks in their crystals.
Scientists
suggest that the conditions for earthquake lightning exist in only 0.5
per cent of occasions – which is why it is rare and unpredictable.
Studies
are continuing into the phenomena, particular around how manipulating
the effect could lead to new ways in generating energy and how to make
earthquake predictions.
But until then, running around with a
kite and a fork after you hear a rumble in an earthquake danger zone is
a poor decision to make.

- OLD IDEA PRESENTED AS NEW DEPARTMENT -
Does The Past, Present and Future co-exist in the Universe?

The old adage that 'time is like a river', suggesting that we move through it like a ship sailing on water, may be wrong.
A new theory claims that time does not move forward, but rather, everything in time is ever-present.
According
to the theory, if we were to ‘look down’ upon the universe, we would
see time spread out in all directions, just as we see space at the
moment.
The intriguing theory was put forward by Dr Bradford
Skow, an associated professor of philosophy at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT).
In his new book, Objective Becoming, he examines some of the theories that have been postulated to explain time.
‘When you ask people, “Tell me about the passage of time,” they usually make a metaphor,’ he said.
‘They say time flows like a river, or we move through time like a ship sailing through the sea.’
Another
theory states that the present is a ‘spotlight’ that moves from the
past to the future, with us being located in the spotlight as it moves
forward.
Dr Skow, however, said he ‘wouldn’t want to believe in that unless I saw good arguments for it.’
Rather,
he favours a theory known as the ‘block universe’, which states that
the past, present and future already exist. Dr Skow said that he does
not think events sail past us and vanish forever - instead, they exist
in different parts of space-time.
‘The block universe theory says you’re spread out in time, something like the way you’re spread out in space,' Dr Skow said.
‘We’re not located at a single time.’
Instead
he says we are in a 'temporarily scattered' condition. He asserts
that our passage through space-time is not like a spotlight - and the
experiences you had yesterday, last week, or even years ago are all
real.
But he says time travel between the different times is not
possible, as we are now in a different part of space-time. If we were
to look down upon the universe, we would see time spread out, said Dr
Skow. But he adds the present is not a 'spotlight' in time - but rather
we are in a 'temporally scattered' condition.
His theory follows another postulated by scientists back in December.
They
proposed that at the moment of the Big Bang, a 'mirror universe' to our
own was created that moves in the opposite direction through time - and
intelligent beings in each one would perceive the other to be moving
backwards through time.
The radical theory was proposed by Dr
Julian Barbour of College Farm in the UK, Dr Tim Koslowski of the
University of New Brunswick in Canada and Dr Flavio Mercati of the
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, also in Canada.
Their
research attempts to answer questions that remain about the ‘arrow of
time’ - which is the concept that time is ‘symmetric’ and everything
moves forwards.
They say that at the time of the Big Bang not
one but two universes formed – both moving equally in each direction
through time, but opposite to each other.
This universe would
not be exactly the same as ours, though; it would have evolved and
changed in its own way, completely separate to our own.
However,
it would be subject to the same laws of physics, so it would likely
have planets, stars and galaxies just like in our version of the cosmos.
And Dr Barbour told MailOnline the theory could open up a new way to think about the Big Bang.
‘At
the moment when people talk about the Big Bang, they more or less throw
their hands up in despair and say they can’t say what happened,' he
said.
‘Now our work is beginning to suggest we can actually say more than people thought.’
Which
theory of time proves to be correct, though - Dr Skow's block universe,
the mirror universe or perhaps another - remains to be seen.
THE ARROW OF TIME
In
1927 British astronomer Arthur Eddington first devised the ‘one-way
direction’ or ‘asymmetry' of time. He said that by studying the
organisation of matter, it was possible to make a 4D map of the
universe.
The so-called ‘arrow of time’ supposedly points to a
move spread out and ‘random’ future, toward which everything is moving.
This is also known as entropy, which tends to increase with time.
Entropy, a consequence of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, will increase as energy dissipates and matter and energy disperse. This means that entropy will always increase in the universe.
Some
say this may lead to a ‘heat death’ future where everything is spread
so thinly that nothing can exist any more – a scenario famously
postulated in Isaac Asimov’s short story The Last Question.
However,
owing to the law of gravity, some think such a future is not a
possibility. And Dr Skow thinks the 'arrow of time' theory itself is
not necessarily correct.

- I'M NOT DEAD YET DEPARTMENT -
Mummified Monk is ‘Not Dead’ in Meditative State

A
mummified monk found in the lotus position in Mongolia is 'not dead'
and is instead one stage away from becoming a real-life Buddha, it has
been claimed.
Forensic examinations are under way on the amazing
remains, which are believed to be around 200 years old, having been
preserved in animal skin. But one expert has insisted the human relic
is actually in 'very deep meditation' and in a rare and very special
spiritual state known as 'tukdam'.
Over the last 50 years there are said to have been 40 such cases in India involving meditating Tibetan monks.
Dr
Barry Kerzin, a famous Buddhist monk and a physician to the Dalai Lama,
said: 'I had the privilege to take care of some meditators who were in
a tukdam state.
'If the person is able to remain in this state
for more than three weeks - which rarely happens - his body gradually
shrinks, and in the end all that remains from the person is his hair,
nails, and clothes. Usually in this case, people who live next to the
monk see a rainbow that glows in the sky for several days. This means
that he has found a 'rainbow body'. This is the highest state close to
the state of Buddha'.
He added: 'If the meditator can continue
to stay in this meditative state, he can become a Buddha. Reaching such
a high spiritual level the meditator will also help others, and all the
people around will feel a deep sense of joy'.
Initial speculation is that the mummy could be a teacher of Lama Dashi-Dorzho Itigilov.
Born
in 1852, Dashi-Dorzho Itigilov was a Buryat Buddhist Lama of the
Tibetan Buddhist tradition, best known for the lifelike state of his
body.
Ganhugiyn Purevbata, who is the founder and professor of
the Mongolian Institute of Buddhist Art at Ulaanbaatar Buddhist
University, said: 'Lama is sitting in the lotus position vajra, the
left hand is opened, and the right hand symbolizes of the preaching
Sutra.
'This is a sign that the Lama is not dead, but is in a
very deep meditation according to the ancient tradition of Buddhist
lamas'.
The mummified remains, which were covered in cattle skin, were found on January 27 in the Songinokhairkhan province of Mongolia.
However,
there is more to the story and now police have revealed that the monk
had been stolen from another part of the country and was about to be
sold off.
An unnamed official said that it was taken from a cave
in the Kobdsk region by a man who then hid it in his own home in
Ulaanbaatar.
He had then been planning to sell it on the black
market at a 'very high price', with local media claiming he wanted to
take it over the Mongolian border. Police uncovered the plot and
quickly arrested a 45-year-old, named only as Enhtor.
According
to Article 18 of the Criminal Code of Mongolia smuggling items of
cultural heritage are punishable with either a fine of up to 3million
roubles ($43,000) or between five and 12 years in prison. The monk is
now being guarded at the National Centre of Forensic Expertise at
Ulaanbaatar.

- SENSUAL SPIRITS DEPARTMENT -
The Sexy Side of the Supernatural By Micah Hanks
 Sexuality,
many would argue, forms the basis of our very being, and the
continuation of virtually all complex biology on our planet. Hence, is
it totally outrageous to ask whether there could be sex that occurs
elsewhere… if not on other planets, then perhaps in the afterlife? The
question may sound absurd, and perhaps even scoff-worthy in the eyes of
one such as evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, who would likely
reject the premise outright based on its insinuation that consciousness
may carry on after bodily death (granted, Dawkins has drawn quite a bit
of criticism lately for controversial sex-related statements he has
made as well). But putting aside our skepticism for a moment, perhaps
if we suspend our disbelief regarding an afterlife and consider what
role sexuality plays in the physical world, this idea could make for a
more interesting exercise in thought than you might think. Sexuality
does undertake a variety of roles aside from its obvious practical
purpose; even some animal species, which include dolphins, will engage
in sexual relations for pure enjoyment, rather than mere procreation.
Among humans, while procreation and recreation are the key reasons for
engagement in sexual intercourse, sexuality also has a history of use
in ritual and symbolism that ties in with the supernatural. Among
the most erudite presentations on the subject, Benjamin Walker’s Sex
and the Supernatural: Sexuality in Religion and Magic (Macdonald
Unit 75, London, 1970), summarized it thusly:
From earliest times sexual union has been sanctified in countless
symbols, and the representation of the act was a profound arcanum
concealing hidden truths. The Ark of the Covenant, the chest of acacia
wood housed in the Holy of Holies in the Temple of Solomon, contained
among other things a sacred stone which, according to certain Talmudic
scholars, was a symbol of the male and female organs in union. The
Eleusinian mysteries of ancient Greece included a rite known as
arretophoria named from the Greek words meaning ‘carrying things not to
be mentioned’, in which a basket containing a stone phallus and the
‘womb’ of the goddess Demeter was taken out in sacred procession.
In primitive (preliterate) societies it was and still is almost
universally believed that human generation is directly linked with
supernatural powers. Even in those communities–and there are some,
according to anthropologists–who are not aware of the connection
between sexual intercourse and pregnancy, the act of copulation takes
on a special significance and is regarded with sentiments of religious
awe. Looking throughout history, the fact that there is a
religious sentiment underlying the sexual act is of course rife
throughout virtually every culture and their practices. However,
arguably the significant role that sexuality plays is often rather
subconscious, and perhaps applies to a range of purportedly unexplained
phenomenon in the modern era. Ghost sex, for instance, has been
popularized in modern times in film and popular documentary-style
paranormal programs, with particular emphasis made on the idea of
ghostly or demonic sexual assault (take for instance the decidedly
disturbing 1982 film rendition of The Entity, starring actress Barbara
Hershey, which is among the more sensationalized presentations on the
subject). The prevalence of such accounts in modern times no doubt
served as inspiration for author Brad Steiger, who devoted an entire
book to purported sexual relations carried out with denizens of the
spirit world in his Otherworldly Affaires: Haunted Lovers, Phantom
Spouses, and Sexual Molesters from the Shadow World. Granted, not all
the encounters with randy spirits discussed in the book are violent or
non-consensual; in a few instances, there have been individuals who
described the experiences as enjoyable. Years ago, I was
contacted personally by a woman who wished to share something that was
“slightly unnerving, but a bit personal.” I suspected, based on her
initial hesitation, that this might have to do with some perceived
phenomenon of a sexual nature and, upon further discussion of the
incidents in question, the woman confided to me that her husband had
awoken on two separate occasions to find her seemingly engaged in sex
acts–and apparently enjoyably so–while sleeping, and in the obvious
absence of any real partner. The husband had been quite disturbed by
the displays, and advised she seek help, though she herself maintained
virtually no memory of anything happening. It may be possible
that such circumstances are due in part to little understood bodily
processes; for instance, one often-asserted solution is that these
individuals are merely suffering from sleep paralysis. However, in the
case related above, it would seem counter-intuitive if known functions
that render bodily paralysis while one is sleeping could nonetheless
allow for an individual to thrash about as though engaged in a sex act. Conversely,
melatonin, which governs photoperiodic bodily cycles and functions, is
related both to sleep and sex in humans. It would seem plausible, in
theory, that melatonin production might stimulate the body in a variety
of ways, based on the individual, that have relevance particularly to
sexuality in relation to the dream state. Similar to the apparent
connection between presumed spirit-sex and sleep cycles are reports of
alien abduction, which at times bear a starkly sexual nature.
Researcher Paul Deane noted in his book Sex and the Paranormal that
some early abduction cases where the purported female captives weren’t
merely examined by their alien captors, but described literal sexual
assault while in their presence; one of several elements that has
contributed to rather fantastic theories among researchers in some UFO
circles, which reveal humans as intergalactic breeding stock to alien
visitors. In fairness to all branches of purported strange
phenomena, it wouldn’t be fair to exclude cryptozoology, as indeed, a
sexual component will often appear in relation to creatures like
Bigfoot just as well, if you look deeply enough. In fact, silence on
the matter encouraged researcher Loren Coleman to begin lecturing on
the subject a number of years ago, in a series of presentations themed
around “Sex and the Single Sasquatch,” where he hoped to demystify the
taboo nature of sexuality in relation to discussion of the beast.
Arguably, if understanding the presumed existence of Sasquatch means
learning all its habits, sexuality and breeding should hardly qualify
for exclusion. Fundamentally, our sexuality is part of what
makes us human… perhaps the single most important part, in fact. Gender
roles govern who we are, and how we will act, and when considered in
this way, perhaps it is of little surprise that sexuality would also
arise in relation to purported supernatural or paranormal claims. Does
this merely betray the human component behind all of this, or does it
point to a continuation of an actual interplay that is innate to us,
and perhaps evidential of something that exists beyond? Source: Mysterious Universe http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2014/07/the-sexy-side-of-the-supernatural/
