“Science tried to take on the paranormal, and science got its ass kicked.” ~ George Knapp
Knapp said this during his presentation at the McMinnville UFO conference. His talk was on the so-called “skinwalker” ranch in Utah. The skinwalker ranch is one of my favorite UFO/general high strangeness episodes; from the first moments I [...]

Several people called emergency dispatchers shortly after sunset to report seeing mysterious lights flitting about in the air near Randy Pape Beltline and River Road, Eugene police spokeswoman Melinda McLaughlin said.

A wee Mothman in our city park. Okay, so this isn’t really Mothman, or anything to do with Mothman at all, though it does have a “mothy vibe” as Mothman researcher Andy Colvin would say.  This is an image of a winged gnome found in one of Eugene’s beautiful city parks. A mysterious person or [...]

Naturally, the question is why? It is curious! But note, HP wants not just people who’ve “had sex with aliens” but also “…people familiar with the phenomenon of sex with aliens…” which tells me, semantically, that it’s not just those with direct experience who are wanted, but anyone who’s studied such [...]

The message is… well, doesn’t seem to be a message. I’ve had telepathic communications with UFOs and “aliens.” Nothing profound however. Or even silly, as in, no alien ever wanted to exchange pancakes recipes. All they did was say, in each encounter, “We’re here!” Literally. Just letting me know they know that I know that they’re about.

…the terms we use: abductee, experiencer, …what? For myself, no term has seemed accurate, or, pleasant. Abductee sounds melodramatic, and experiencer sounds “politically correct” as one commentator said — as well as weak and imposed: “You willbe grateful and joyous for the ET experience.”

After listening to another intriguing and spooky interview with David Paulides (Coast to Coast, George Knapp host) last night, I found myself rethinking not only Dr. Ketchum’s work, but what Bigfoot might be, as well. (Concerning Bigfoot, revisiting the paranormal theory as the most likely.)

Heard that rooms are hard to come by in McMinnville, OR for the UFO Fest, but we were lucky enough to book for two nights at a chain motel. (No pool! But our first choices were booked.) Not our first choice by any means — two years ago we had a suite, complete with huge [...]

The 12th annual UFO Fest in McMinnville, Oregon is this weekend. (The festival is in honor of McMinnville residents Paul and Evelyn Trent whose two snapshots of a flying saucer made international news in 1950. It is still, in my opinon, one of the best UFO cases around.)

Ah, and does it really matter in the context of Fortean trickster events? Flix, as he said his name was, was a white “bigfoot” or at least, a bipedal BHM (Big Hairy Monster) who appeared from seemingly outer space in the small Oregon town of Millersburg in 1960. We know his name is Flix because that’s what he communicated, via telepathy, to a psychic who went to the lake where the “monster” mainly seemed to hang out.

Dream: Calling for Mothman
Funny odd snippet of a dream last night involving telephones, broadcasts and Mothman. Not much at all to relate. Dreamt the phone kept ringing, which irritated me. And each time I got up to answer it, I couldn’t hear much more than static, white noise. Through the buzzing, crackling noise I heard, [...]

Interesting finds on the Oregon coast these past days; including something I noticed when I uploaded the pics I took on the beach. Not the first time a person caught something strange when snapping away at the sky.

Recent posts at the C Influence about air ships reminded me of some of my own experiences in my personal UFO journey.
I have a lot of recurring dream landscapes and imagery; shifting, ever changing sets, like the production stages in movie making, or sets on stage of a theater. One of the constant images [...]

Thanks to the amazing Skylaire Alfvegren, who sent me a notice about a new website called Women in UFOlogy.
