How Do You Say "Holy Shit" in Chinese?

So, it seems as though the Chinese have announced to the public their knowledge of the existance of extraterrestrials and UFOs. This information comes from a recent press conference in which Wang Sachio of the Purple Mountain Astronomical Observatory let the world in on a little secret. According to MUFON, he announced the following:

• Aliens are visiting Earth on R & D expeditions
• These UFOs are probes manned by robots.
• These craft travel at eighty percent the speed of light.
• These craft have been seen by the observatory many times at between 150 and 1500 kilometers above Earth.
• The aliens might use Nuclear fusion to propel their craft
• 39 years of work at Purple Mountain Observatory has led Wang to believe these craft use Earth's gravity to manouvre and stay aloft

Let's hope this doesn't turn into the Mysterians.

Now, this is some hefty stuff to deal out to the world. It got me thinking about the people dishing out these facts. A search for the name "Wang Sachio" proved inconclusive wielding no results. A second search on "Purple Mountain Astronomical Observatory"told me that they've nabbed some attention in various nerd fields for discovering some meteorlogical roadside attractions like an asteroid called "Comet 1977 X". This wasn't what I was looking for, though. What I was looking for was any indication that they may be linked with the Chinese government. I feel like that fact would make or break these statements of theirs. If they aren't associated with the government then who's to say how they could know these things? Robots piloting spacecrafts on research and development missions? You can't come to that conclusion just by watching them zip around your telescope without at least a little bit of guesswork involved. However if they are, in fact, linked to the government, then these statements of theirs gain much more weight. Concrete shoes, in fact. The fact that the Chinese government would clear these statements to be released would be very interesting, indeed.

Unfortunately, as I said, I couldn't find any indication of a connection to the government. Info on the observatory is scarce and their website is in chinese. If you'd like to take a crack at translating the website, the address is http://www.pmo.ac.cn/. It would be appreciated if you could shuffle any info over to me since my chinese is a little, erm, rusty.

On the bright side, for a distinguished observatory to come out and publicly announce their conclusive evidence collected on UFOs is really great. This is a big step.

Oh, and "holy shit" in chinese is "wǒ kào". Thanks Wikipedia!

From Russia with Laser Love

I just came across the video of what looks like...well, a giant circle in the sky....spotted in Russia late last year. I don't remember hearing about this, but i guess it's better late than never.



Above is video of this strange happening. What is it? I have no idea. And neither do the majority of weather analysts, paranormal investigators, or anyone else who'd be in the know-how. What do I think it is? I was wondering when you were gonna ask me that!

I think it's linked to something that happened later in December of that year, also in the Russian skies. I'm obviously talking about the "Russian Spiral". A long blue trail of light that ended in an enormous white spinning wheel. It sounds almost biblical (and therefor ludicrous), but I assure you it's real. Don't believe me? Well, maybe you'll believe this video:



Certainly not computer generated, this image was seen, filmed, and photographed all over Northern Norway when it occured. Some speculation regarded it as some sort of star but this was, without a doubt, inside our atmosphere. There was also speculation that it was a product of Northern Lights but wrong again. The Northern Lights weren't visible that night. And then there's those who speculate it to be the trail of a missile. Now, it wasn't just anyone speculating this, it was the Russian government it's self.

Their official claim was that this was a failed test missile that was faulty and, after it failed to do whatever they were trying to make it do, it left this trail in the sky. Do I believe this? Absolutely not. I'm no rocket scientist or missile expert, but I've never seen a rocket leave a blue spiral trail like that behind. And never have I seen the trail end in a giant white spiraling vortex. Let alone one that could transform and reshape it's self like that.

My theory? I don't really have one, but I do think it's some how connected to HAARP.

HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is known to have the technology to change the weather anywhere in the world. From moving clouds to shaking the earth, this thing can do it all. In fact, when the earthquake in Haiti happened earlier this year or the tsunami in Indonesia, many pointed an accusing finger at HAARP saying they had something (if not everything) to do with it. HAARP is a series of 130 antennas in Alaska that, when turned on and tuned in together, can effect the ocean, the earth, the sky, and our brain waves. Some say HAARP can only work in the area of North America but others believe it can target anywhere in the world.

Lights over HAARP.

Whenever HAARP is turned on, the sky erupts in lights. Much like the Aurora Borealis, it's electromagnetic currents flooding the ionosphere. Photos of this light show were taken in Indonesia the night before the tsunami took place.

Could these spirals have been generated by HAARP in the skies of Russia? For what purpose? Is this some sort of test for something much, much bigger? Whatever it may be, it sure is a scary thought.

I Slept with a Martian!

Have you noticed the reoccurring theme in most science fiction b-films that the spacemen usually come to earth to breed with our women? Well, looks like the line between fact and fiction are once again blurred.

A woman in Italy, known simply as Giovanna, claims that she has not only been impregnated by beings from another planet, but has recently aborted the fetus. Don't believe me? Well, she's got pictures to prove it!

According to Giovanna (a multiple abductee), this isn't the first time. She's been not only impregnated before, but has been getting the usual abductee testing done on her since the age of 4. Giovanna made claims of a phosphorescent residue left on her body as "something they use as a disinfectant" that they implored after taking blood and tissue samples and inserting implants into her.

Her testimony seems pretty hard to swallow, but from what I can gather, there's scientific evidence to back all of it up. The implants and the glowing goo have all been analyzed and have come up positive for we-have-no-idea.

I have a feeling we haven't heard the last of Giovanna. When I hear more, so will you.

Alien Ape Men from the 4th Dimension!

Theories of the origins of Sasquach are a dime a dozen. Living in Washington State my whole life, I've heard 'em all. The theory of Bigfoot being an alien always seemed pretty unfounded and silly to me but perhaps I'm wrong.

I recently came across an eye-witness testimony of what a Seattle man believed was a Sasquach under alien control. Here's what Bigfoot researcher Peter Gutilla (who conducted the interview) relayed:

Few and far between.

"Under hypnosis he told of watching two UFOnauts descend from beneath a huge hovering disk-shaped UFO and walk casually into the woods followed by a tall, hair-covered ape-like creature that seemed subservient to them. For weeks preceding the experience the witness said he was often roused at night by a loud whirring noise that originated in the sky above trees near his home. Neighbors also heard the sound which was recorded on tape, and in one of the recordings a high-pitched wailing cry can be heard behind the drone of the sound-maker."


Sounds a little sweaty, right? Well, there has been reports of large flashes of light in the skies that correspond to Bigfoot sightings. In fact, some of those flashes have actually been in the woods themselves. This has lent to the theory that the Bigfoot is from another dimension. You heard me right, folks. Some say these flashes in the woods are them leaping through dimensional portals. It's a stretch, I know, but it would explain, not only their illusive nature, but also why you never see more than a few footprints at a time. 


Now, I haven't experienced either of those things nor have I ever spotted Bigfoot myself so I'm not going to discredit these. But, like I said before, it's pretty sweaty.


In other news, since when did I start using the word "sweaty" so much?

The Silencers

So, I've always has a love/hate relationship with the series UFO Hunters. They've covered some pretty cool stuff that doesn't get a lot of coverage on your average UFO documentaries that pop up on the History Channel or any other channel thats buried in the triple-digit depths of my parents' cable plan.

I can't quite put my finger on what bugs me about this show. Maybe it's the older guy with the glasses and how that dude will truly believe ANYTHING he's told. I mean, I'm all for having an open mind and giving all facts the benefit of the doubt before regarding it as false, but he takes it a little too far for my liking.

Or maybe it's the guy with the really bad hair...actually, he's ok. He just has really bad hair.

The third guy I like. He keeps a steady head on his shoulders without bending to the whim of anyone with a story. He can smell bullshit and does so pretty often. If it weren't for him, I could see this series getting way off-track way too fast.

But when did this blog become about my opinions on television? I feel like I should mention my views on the Lost finale or why Roger Sterling on Mad Men should have a spinoff. Jesus, first post and already I'm getting sidetracked.

Ok, so the point of this post is to show you guys an episode I actually really enjoyed. Featured below is their glimpse into the mysteries of the "Men in Black". The subject of the Men in Black is one of deep mystery. Not much at all is known about them other than small fragments that seem to root from other one-off stories about UFO experiences. These usually make the Men in Black more of a footnote. I've always been really fascinated by them. The idea of government officials who are either supernatural in origin or act purposefully bizarre to make future accounts of them seem unplausable and ridiculous. Solid facts are few and far between about these guys and research is almost always a lost cause (usually cause the internet just spits out images of Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones ruining their careers).

Here's the episode entitled "The Silencers" in 5 parts. If these videos aren't responding then you've gotten here too late and they've been yanked from YouTube. Sorry pal. Ya snooze, ya lose.

Boo!

Ghost in Pub Captured on Video.

Here’s a recent video of an apparition that appeared in a pub in Penbrith, Cumbria (don’t ask me where this is, cause I have no idea). Story goes, this pub was formerly a funeral parlor.

Now, I’m pretty torn. What’s really surprising is how long it’s on camera. Something like 45 seconds. Really long, which is unusual. The apparition also makes a leap (right around 0:24/0:25, not to mention a few littler ones earlier) which hints to some tape editing or trickery. The exit out the window to the right looks a little shabby, too.

Nevertheless, it’s quite a clip. so…what do you think?

Strangeways, Here We Come!

Ok, folks. Here it goes!

My name is Danny. My basic rundown goes like this: I'm 21 years old, a collector of rock 'n' roll records from the 50's and 60's, sleaze and juvenile delinquent paperbacks of the 40's, 50's, and 60's, and a conniseur of 50's and 60's b-movie and exploitation films. You may know me as the founder and head writer of the zine Get Dorked!, that's all about 50's and 60's rock 'n' roll, the kulture of kool, and it's reverberations into today.

Though my interests seem to be pretty much all sex, crime, and bubblegum - that ain't the case. Something I've been intrigued by since i was about 12 years old is the investigation of paranormal, paraphysical, and parapsychological worlds. This includes, but is not limited to; beings from other worlds, ghosts and visitors of the spirit world, governmental conspiracies, crypto-zoology, voodoo, and all things strange and bizarre. This blog is, basically, where I'm gonna dump my musings about all this stuff. I know, I know, does the world need another blog? Problably not...in fact, definitely not. But, hey, it's better than me gabbin' about this stuff to my girlfriend who, i'm sure is getting pretty tired of hearing it. I surely don't blame her.

So anyways, we're gonna be talkin' about lots of weird stuff on this here blog so we oughta get started. Hope ya enjoy it!
