Blake Cousins (Twins Who Shall Not Be Named -- TWSNBN)

[Burnt State]

I think we need to get past this silliness and focus on the issues.

All over this forum is the large lament of UFO seekers proclaiming their disenchantment with the field, with who is given a pass vs. who is delusional vs. who is after the cash. I know critical discussion is impossible with Cousins, and so these episodes are about only entertainment; the majority of the field of public investigation has to maintain some degree of entertainment or there are few listeners. Without hope of ET being real, or the mystery having an answer, dr. abbadon, there can be no Realllly Bigg Sheowww! But what's at the heart of the disenchantment, as the good dr. points out, is the lack of clarity in the signal that is being defined. Standards seem to shift according to whatever degree of credit is being acclaimed for the guest. Some find that to be part of the noise issue.

Gene didn't strike me as some jaded old man regretting a life spent in vain, and Chris didn't appear too much like "the gatekeeper of all UFO knowledge," but Blake came off as a hoaxer in his verbal responses, imho. I sort of imagined him thinking: "Yeah, that's the ticket! I'll take Chris up on that offer and we'll get some really dynamite clips up nobody will ever be able to debunk! I'll use his warning list of things to look for in hoaxes to make sure our NEXT hoax passes with flying colors!" But I have a suspicious mind, I guess.

Regarding Canada's new currency, all your debase are belong to us, eh? Probably someone put cornstarch in the new bills so they would "biodegrade" or something! Great idea. Keep Canada green. And cashless.

I thought that even putting this guy on the show in the first place is just like putting exta whip cream on a cake with too much icing. I don't see why he should even get air time. As Gene said about Greer, or Gre'r or whatever, why bother giving them attention in the first place? Better to take on serious researchers, imaginative thinkers and historical figures from the field to get closer to the issue in the dirt place.

As for the fantasy of a green Canada I can only say I need my Canuck money intact in its new non-biodegradable plastic form so I can pay for the greening of my yard into small forest. Besides we need to keep pumping our high test oil, natural gas and hydro into America's main veins and backyards. If we don't then the big boys with big toys and big corps. won't be happy, and then there would be hell to pay.

Yes, save the wetlands, and the children!

I had the dubious privelege of catching TTWSNBN, or at least Blake, on his Revolution Radio program yesterday. Here's what I heard.

First, they had this young man on skype I think who was selling pay-per-view on ustream for something happening in South Carolina. Was it a hot spot? A veritable flap? All I heard was, a la reality show ghost-hunting television, that they saw something, something very interesting flew by. Was it live? I couldn't tell, but they said it was all being recorded.

Next, TCWSNBN called up Jaime Maussan, who, he said, was a South American expert on UFOs. TCWSNBN consistently said Maussan was in South America and was a big force for disclosure in South America. Jaime Maussan, the Mexican journalist and UFO enthusiast who sprang Hoagland a few months ago from the Mexican pokey in the Yucatan, SEEMED to be giving interesting and rational answers to TCWSNBN's somewhat inane and vague questions, but the problem was that Maussan, consistently called "Mason" by Blake, sounded like he was on a bad skype connection inside a toilet bowl on a large helicopter. I couldn't understand him, he only came through in bits and pieces.

(incidentally, maybe we should call Greer "Dr. Richard Gere, friend to the Dalai Lama," or what was that corruption of "Voyager" in that early Star Trek movie, "V'Ger" or something like that? I re-skipped through Sirius the infomercial again, God take pity on our puny minds.)

If the goal is to find out what UFOs really are, then the carnival barkers must be exposed for what they are. Sure many people only care about the entertainment value, but we're not doing it for them.

Speaking of carnival barkers ... check this guy out ...

Does he look honest to you?

According to a news program ( 16:9 ) this guy has made millions doing what you ask?
Answer: Selling property on the Moon ...

As any serious researcher knows who has been looking at this crap for decades, it is always trickster stuff. It is always a mix of the real and the unreal, the logical and the illogical. Take the Billy Meier case. Wendelle Stevens went over there and found it legit. Then the Elders. There was much to believe and then there were the weird photos of cave men and cake tins. Yet some of it was real. I see this over and over. They took some of the Meier material to Marcel Vogel from IBM who was a material specialist. He thought it was strange. Almost every case is full of weirdness and illogical nonsense. Travis Walton seeing military men...... Whitley Streiber's absurd stories..... The sex stories........

You are never going to have a 'legit' and 'logical' analysis of these things because they are full of trickster element. Shadow reality that is making fun of us. Who are you to think you can capture the 'legit' cases? It is funny.

Let this guy and anyone just post what they can. None of it is going to bring us answers. Even Gene and Chris with their awesome logic and 'methodology' are not going to clarify this domain.

You can lure UFOs in on any clear night with some good cameras and group intent. Linda Howel found this out to be true. They 'read your mind.'

Step back and see what all that means. Step back and see what it is saying about reality. Stop pontificating like you are in the know for Christ's sake!

Well said. You just reminded me of a case where a UFO threw out old newspapers and trash from the back of the saucer. No one believed the witnesses. It was too absurd.

The Trickster Archetype in many cultures corresponds to quicksilver (mercury). Slippery, impossible to catch, toxic. A lot of the core phenomena is
qualitatively like quicksilver.

It's constantly letting us know that we don't know as much as we think we do.

Also a good point! That's why my first trickster book only mentions the UFO phenomenon a couple of times in the final chapter... I'm saving up all the bizarre, inexplicable UFO accounts for a second trickster book about the ubiquitous trickster-nature of those pesky craft seen in the sky.

Thanks Chris. I also found it interesting that Vallee in his book Dimensions stated that a lot of sightings tend to occur on Wednesday, which corresponds to the planet Mercury's energy in esoterica. Mercury corresponds to the Ancient Egyptian Archetype Sebek, and it's aspects Anpu and Apuat, in Yoruba to Elegba and Eshu,
Coyote in certain Native American traditions, & Fox in certain Asian traditions. It also corresponds to the 8th Sephiroth Hod, which exchanging the H for G gives us the word God, which it is derived from. Hod is one of the "celestial workers", responsible for building the background lattice upon which the world of phenomena is built.

He always meets people at the crossroads (either literal physical crossroads, or figuratively speaking the various crossroads that life brings us). His number is 3, his positive colors are saffron & white, negative colors are red & black, and he's known as the guardian of the doorway to the behind the scenes workings of reality. If you don't know the password, you don't get to see the man behind the screen.

And he really likes playing with people

The trickster angle seems paramount to me. The young Apollo steals (Mercury's?) caducaeus, the black helicopters or UFOs steal cattle, and even the foxes won't touch the remains of the sacrifice, the burnt offering. The intergalactic house of pancakes lands in your backyard and asks for water, while the dogman lounges against a tree, smoking a Salem.

I managed to download the archive of Third Phase of Moon radio show for the last several months before it went behind a paywall. The main host seems to be one Dr. J(ohn) Andy Alias, with Blake and someone named Preston popping in from time to time. A cursory look through the internet on a few search engines revealed no information on Dr. Elias beyond his involvement with Third Phase of Moon. Is he a medical doctor? He sounds youngish to me.

Very interesting, this 3rd Phase business. They seem to have come out of nowhere with engines roaring and guns blazing and klaxxons blaring, they have great or at least important guests all the time. If I had to guess, I'd say they have some behind-the-scenes support in roping in big names to be guests. Not Bigelow-level support, but some human resources experts at least.

I'm also guessing "3rd phase of Moon" relates to something Hawaiian, because one of the Cousins's films has to do with ghost warriors who walk abroad during the 27th phase of the moon, evidently calculated on some lunar calendar. The Moon is very Mercurial in some ways, and it's always interested me that the Indo-Europeans (and Japanese I think too) thought the Sun was female, and the Moon male. The idea the Sun sheds maleness upon all and sundry seems to have entered the European consciousness through the Greeks, who got it from Hod knows where (Black Athena enthusiasts would probably say it came from Egypt and ultimately Africa). Die Sonne, der Mund, or something like that. Saw some UFO film the other day where they used the masculine definite article before the German word for the Black Sun symbol, and thought, OK, either I'm mixed up or that's a mistake. But there's so much error these days, even intentional errors, claiming weird things such as the word "Holocaust" is Yiddish (!) for "burnt offering," or that all Ashkenazi are Khazars and Yiddish is based on Khazarian Turkic. Really sloppy assertions, everywhere.

Off course, before we agree on the trickster phenomenon, we need to sort out to what degree we are talking about others tricking us, or about our minds tricking ourselves.

So to me, there is no other way than demanding evidence, or seeking to get it, except if we are satisfied with thinking we can suss out who is credible and who isn't and that seems a very difficult endeavor, very tricky indeed. Thus I'm also rooting for Chris' camera-setup in the San Luis Valley, we need something.

Personally, I've had one experience which I could call 'trickery'. I was hanging out with some friends one night a few years ago, we got tipsy, and I was going for getting the others hooked on the UFO-thing. It didn't really work, though I worked hard at it. Then, at one time we all stepped out on the porch to have a cig, and lo and behold, a glowing orange/red ball comes floating by at a range of smth like 500-1000 feet about 300 feet in the air. It was pretty incredible, and I was thinking: Thanks dudes in the sky, you just gave me a hi-five It was weird, a bit spooky, and a couple of guys were looking at me weird, lol. Anyways we talked about it a while, noone had any clue what it was.
I went home, and started digging into orange balls of light, and I gradually convinced myself that we had witnessed a Chinese lamp.
Now, I mentioned to the others my lamp-theory, but the others didn't believe that, lol. They hadn't seen all the striking Chinese lamp videos, and all of a sudden I was the one with the rational discourse! What trickery of the mind, no? Adding to the weirdness, one guy later remembered the light as being whitish, though it was clearly red, something I wrote down that same night. Why does one guy remember it as whitish? I don't know, except that when stories are recanted and recalled, they change. Memory is plastic.

So, what one might call trickery, I'd put down to coincidence. I've talked about UFOs on many other nights, and no glowing balls of light appeared. So, in this case it was a trick of the mind that there was a 'connection'.

Does my personal experience account for all the others? No, certainly not, I'm just saying, be careful with what you conclude, when you don't have the evidence.

One lady, who lives in an apt complex about a mile from my house, has appeared on two different UFO programs in the last couple years. The most recent was the Dest America show Alien Mystery. The first was one of only a couple episodes of "UFO's over Earth" Now, on the recent Dest America show, her story became much more personal than what was portrayed on the "UFO's over Earth" -Her sightings went from 2 seperate nights to 3 -also the recent program had the object shining lights upon her as she watched from her patio. She was consistent in the account of this object dropping glitter like substance down upon a tree- after swirling in the tree, the glitter substance floated back up into the craft. Now, it could be that the first program, Ufo's over Earth, just decided to leave some of the more personal aspects of her account out (these incidents occured in Bucks County, Pa 2008) but while watching the most recent program on Dest Ameri, I couldn't help but frown to myself, as her story became more personal, as if the craft was interested in her. MUFON did come in and take samples of the tree in question and found large amounts of unusual substance that should not have been there. (Can't recall particular details regard substance) One aspect I've questioned in this case- This apt complex backs up against a busy road (Route 13) and we have no other witness from the roads or neighbors to confirm any of the activity. Apparently, when she went public with her experience, her family sufferred local ridicule- which makes me question why she would conjure up such a story with an outcome of very little to gain.

 

[Wade]

That was a real cool recollection Jimi and thanks for sharing it. For my part, while I can appreciate the apparent synchronicity involved in your experience I wonder if we don't overplay the fact that different people relate different details in these occurrences given that the same phenomena is in play in things as mundane as accidents or witnessing crimes.

Um... I filmed a spate of orange fireballs over several months. I never decided what they were finally. They began to creep me out. At first they made minor course adjustments, but the last one I filmed stopped in the sky and then ascended in a different direction, a low angle, finally disappearing in the distance, whereas the other ones more or less "blinked out" after blinking several times, not really getting lost in the distance, just disappearing after vacillating upon the idea for several blinks.

I believe I have just destroyed most of this footage by accident, although I know I have some left, and it isn't spectacular, it's just "lights in the sky." But the reason I mention all this is, by the time I got around to viewing some of the earlier clips, the object was very clearly bluish white, not the orangish-red I and others saw in the sky. I have no idea what's going on. I tend to think they're drones, but can't tell, and they behave oddly. And silently. And fly low.

Do you happen to have the surviving footage accessible online? Just curious, even if it seems less spectacular it would be interesting to have a look.

Not to sound like I don't believe what the woman says but, was she a pretty stable personality? Do you know if she was ever evaluated for mental health conditions before or after the incident? (I assume that if she was just a neighbor then she may have been and not told you since that is very personal). I just wonder because if the area was populated and there are no other witnesses, it is possible that she hallucinated or interpreted something differently than it may have occurred. I suppose some types of drug use could also do weird things. Hell, stuff looks weird to me if I get drunk so there's also that.

There's also the possibility that she just happened to spot something that others didn't notice. Many people go through life with their head down and their eyes on a smartphone or tablet or computer while others are overwhelmed by responsibilities of work and family. And then there is the possibility that something was messing with her. Very interesting story. Thanks for sharing it!

Adding to the weirdness, one guy later remembered the light as being whitish, though it was clearly red, something I wrote down that same night. Why does one guy remember it as whitish? I don't know, except that when stories are recanted and recalled, they change. Memory is plastic

I am curious if the condition of someone's eyes could alter the hues they pick up when viewing something like that? For example, would different levels of color blindness change the way it is interpreted? Or could eye condition or other physical conditions effect the way something is seen? I suppose there's also level of attention, too. For example my husband never noticed that a star along the horizon that is visible from our back porch has different colors in it. It's rather distinctive if you look at it for a while. He noticed it one night and said he thought it was something strange, but it was just the way it always was. He just never noticed the colors that were always there and always saw it as white light like other stars.

Having viewed some more of his videos I'm seriously beginning to think that Blake Cousins (of Thirdphaseofmoon - don't forget that) is a genius on par with Andy Kaufman.

sirus, betleguiese or arcturis setting. I couldn't count the # of times someone called or reported them... On the horizon, they often flicker red white red (sometimes blue) white red red, etc. But they always set and they're always there the following evenings at the same time (depending on time of year, which star, etc). Occasionally they've been reported "beaming" the witness, "It knew I was watching it," blah, blah

Agreed, I also can't believe the amount of media attention that Arcturus got last year as a UFO ... mostly by MUFON ... or should I say a certain MUFON rep who I think also appeared on the Paracast. Apparently there are also a few satellites that can do that up there, and you can even get an app to tell you which ones are where at what time.

I love catching the space station zip by... it really blazes across the sky at dusk & dawn...

I love catching the space station zip by... it really blazes across the sky at dusk & dawn...

I haven't seen the Space Station in a long time, but apparently it comes over here once in a while too. One day it was scheduled to come over during the day and be visible as bright star-like object. So I kept track of the time and when it came over we were in downtown Calgary. Calgary isn't a huge city, but we have around a million people. So it's still a respectable size. We were across from City Hall when it came over. It was really bright and quite a sight to behold during the day, but guess how many people around us bothered to stop and check it out? Answer: 2 people, and they didn't even watch the entire transit. The rest were either oblivious or glanced at us as if we were doing something taboo. I felt like I was suddenly in a weird sci-fi movie or something. That's how much the average person cares about goes on above their heads, let alone bothers to actually look up.

But even stranger, back in 1989 an object about 3-4 times brighter than the space station appeared in the sky and seemed to be in orbit. It wasn't the space station because it was going the opposite direction. It took the usual 90 mins or so to orbit and as it did so it kept getting lower on the southern horizon ( almost perfectly level with it ). This is a very curious orbit when you think about it. The local observatory had no idea what it was, and there were no news items about it. I saw it on 3 separate occasions that summer, and haven't seen it since. Was it one of ours? Probably. But what did we have up there that was 3-4 times the size of the space station that was in this strange orbit? And where did it go? Where did it come from? It doesn't fit the profile of a meteor or a comet or an asteroid or anything we typically launch ourselves ( because of the orbital direction ). Curious indeed. It's hard not to think mother ship, but as I always say, vague unidentified lights off in the distance aren't UFOs.
