What is your pet case?

[Burnt State]

The firsthand witnesses from the Modern Era who are still alive might very well be the last generation to experience the real deal.

If you include at least airships at the turn of the century, as part of an ongoing human experience of seeing strange things in the skies, then the phenomenon has always been technologically and culturally relevant to our own culture and tech. Now that we're all about digital control and drones maybe all we get is orbs and tic tacs?

That age of the witness, especially the group of witnesses, or the focussed flap in a small geographical area, is just not really part of the contemporary UFO lexicon. It's all just time wasting talking about disclosure B.S.

I digress — But I have an increasingly bad feeling about humanity's future, with trillionaires and the CCP tooling-up to create an entire race of intelligent slaves.

There have always been emperors, Caesars, czars, mad kings, dicktators and the ultra wealthy who back them and really run things while the rest of us are just serfs, available to be jailed,.deported, beaten up, dragged through court, the streets or maybe shot on sight. Nothing much has changed for a really long time in that regard.

I have a very bad feeling — a very bad feeling indeed. Like something big is going to smack us all down — completely out of left field.

That's apocalyptic thinking. Might as well worry that Asian hornets will make their way up north and kill everyone the way we worried about Killer Bees in the late 70's and early 80's - whatever happened to that damn invasion!?

Remember Y2K and that supposed apocalypse, or the Mayan calendar? None of it came to fruition. Just gotta get Zen about everything! First.principles: you shouldn't waste time worrying about things you can't control, and that includes the end of the world & human civilization as we know it.

Personally I think octopi should be in charge. We're not that special really - we've wrecked the planet. We have great potential, but just can't really agree collectively to get rid of our old hatreds, nationalist and religious leanings, and would rather surrender to the corporate godhood and buy their plastic while governments bomb and kill women and children mostly in wasteful wars. You know where that's gonna get us \/

Or not . . . I dunno . . . maybe this is how the old people felt in the 1700s, after they invented the steam engine

I was going to post a focus on the 1977 Broadhaven mystery including the school UFO sighting and all the weirdness the Coombs family went through.at Ripperston Farm. That case has always intrigued me for the broad spectrum of phenomena and witnesses sustained over a period of time. I'm very fascinated by any flap concentrated on a narrow piece of geography. While it lends itself to a heightened mass hysteria, it also produces hoaxers and some quite startling paranormal events.

So I'll get to that later....

But lately I've been listening to interviews featuring Christopher O'Brien. Of all the commentators and inquisitors of Fortean events, he's definitely in my top ten list.

I really miss his voice on the Paracast. He had an encyclopedia for a brain, opened up discussions for better and worse for guests and was fairly humble in his approach. He was fast taking and smooth, never hesitated and was so easy to listen to. He was such an engaging communicator. His intelligence is evident in how quick his mind travels.

He was committed to the scientific pursuit of the UFO conundrum through the monitoring system he developed and his Stalking the Herd is a definitive text.

He was also an experiencer from a very young age. His childhood and life arc was well painted by the weird brush, as if to mark him for contact. His brain was wired differently and this interview expresses it very well.

(He also shared the opinion that there may be other tenants in the building and that the NHI behind some of the phenomena is local to this planet. I agree.)

This is another focus of mine - who are the experiencers and the contactees? What makes them? Can we actually use the protocols that Tyler in American Cosmic suggests to follow to make contact with NHI? Should we be trying to join The Order of the Dolphin?

If I keep asking these questions am I going to end up in Walter Bosley territory? Ahem.....I digress. This podcast interview with COB is a pretty strong overview of what he was about as a Fortean and how he got there.

The Broad Haven School incident of 1997, never heard of it until just now. Doesn’t it remind you of the Ariel UFO school incident of 1994? Do you remember that we had discussed the Ariel incident some years ago, whereas you suggested there may have be some type of entheogen that may have been introduced through bread yeast or perhaps some other form of natural origin? On one other note, I would suggest that the reason experiencers experience is simply because they can. On the last note, Chris was all things to all people at all times. I felt as though he would occasionally pander to the unworthy.

I also once suggested that Robert Taylor's experience in Dechmont Woods msy have come from him eating a deadly nightshade berry growing among some raspberry canes .He was after all very thirsty, feverish and had a racing heart....it all fits. There was this period where I had a real skeptical streak and tried to look for possible materialist alternatives that could explain these cases. I must have been more angry back them or something?

I have since come to see these cases as Hallmark examples of an NHI in contact with humanity, as is Broadhaven. These are some disturbing and surreal components to the best cases. In cases where the trickster is at play I see the examples of our various religions and how folk beliefs work in our culture. It's why Passport to Magonia rings so true. This is our history.

Some commentators identify a new religion emerging from the UAP cultural soup. It's got a full pantheon of demons and space brothers

I just remembered the Falkville metal man case. I remember reading about this one as a kid. this is probably one of the cases that kicked it off for me.

 

[Burnt State]

This is one of those cases where a police officer, in this incident a police chief, fell prey to the disastrous effects of the trickster. After Jeff Greenshaw reports the metal man incident, by showing off the polaroids he took, he is ostracized and becomes the laughing stock of the community. A month later he is told by town council to resign or be terminated; his wife leaves him, and then, still within a month of the incident, the trailer he was living in burned down to the ground.

The story of Dale Spaur is even worse. He ends up alone with a broken spine at the bottom of an elevator shaft.There is another case aside from Spaur where Herbert Schirmer was promoted to police chief following his disc sighting, but then when out of town the city folk hung him in effigy in the local graveyard, shot the body full of holes and then painted in some blood.

Those in positions of law and order and choose to report something as irrational as a UFO can be subjected to incredibly disastrous consequences. They are punished for not maintaining their set role in society.

I might be conflating some of these stories since this was in my childhood, but wasn't there another story very similar to Falkville? I seem to recall another picture with the side mirror of a vehicle in it, but I'm thinking that was a hoax for sure.

I realized I was conflating some and had to look up Schirmer and Greenshaw to separate those two. Spaur I know well. I am not familiar with the side mirror and could not find a reference for that outside of a recent hoaxed gray alien reflection in a side mirror.

Addendum

This makes me consider more critically the nature of current whistle blowers. They seem to fall into two categories. There are those that are set up with info and told and shown things, like Grusch, who for whatever reason is sent out to put on a show. Then there's the Doty/Elizondo character who is promoting a specific narrative that they have the inside line on and appear in movies, crappy TV doc series and write books.

You can't really trust any of it. Even the stuff being released from the, ahem, war department, is still just a bunch of nothing but good stories and weird lights in the distance.

I would separate those law and order whistleblowers from that lone Socorro witness police officer that dares to report what they saw. I put more stake in what they have to say, when the cost is so high.

Update on my first pet cases - it's been a hard year for the dogs of our household. Pet case #2 Badger, passed away at home with all who loved him surrounding him. He was euthanized and that was a heavy blow for all concerned, but we were lucky of have him as our dog. He was the best dog ever....he loved the snow. This will be a strange winter without him.


Pet case #1 just had some major operations, having a lip melanoma removed using that advanced UFO laser surgery, and it was cancer. So who knows how much time she has left, and she had to have an eyeball removed as well, because of advanced glaucoma So while she looks like she's been through the battlefield, she's a much happier dog that's for sure.



Meanwhile, regarding pet UFO cases: I recently updated myself on the 1976 Allagash abduction event. I was always taken by this because it purported to be a multi person abduction scenario of a bunch of artist types who could draw their abductors very well. It happened in the middle of the woods while camping and canoeing - things I could identify with personally while growing up in Northern Ontario.



What I didn't know about this case was that it was not actually reported and investigated using multiple hypnotic regressions till 12 years later. One of the Weiner twins suffered a traumatic spinal injury which led to the development of temporal lobe epilepsy. This was followed by crazy nightmares which were apparently shared by Chris Rak. The hypnotic regressions led to multiple major UFO investigators being a part of bringing the scenario to light.

But then, ten years ago, Chris Rak denounced it all saying they smoked a lot of hash that night at Eagle Lake in 1976, and there were no alien abductors. But in the late 80's he felt it was a good story telling event that could bring in some cash for all four of them, so he fabricated it all with the Weiner brother.

Three of the four continue to promote the abduction narrative to this day, though in my mind the whole thing is a big pile of dogshit. So it's one more great paranormal event that has been hoaxed, like the Patterson Gimlin Bigfoot film. Sad days all around.

 

[Burnt State]

So then I started thinking about what other really big cases could be hoaxes. I'm also a Travis Walton skeptic. I reviewed this thread and went back to Pascagoula and the covert audio recording of them alone in a room at the police station. Something really happened to them, as did with Daul Spaur, Stefan Michalek, Lonnie Zamora, two large school groups in Westall and Ariel, and something really weird happened in Wales at the Ripperston farm as part of the Broad Haven event in 1977.

There are others that indicate something that really happened to people, sometimes in groups, that appeared otherworldly, absurd, telepathic, technological and quite bizarre. And don't get me started on Bigfoot, even after the Patterson Gimlin film proving to be false, I'm there for some first hand witness Bigfoot reports. Stan Gordon's oft told tayle of the Fayette County Encounter from start to finish with the audio recording made of the destabilized witness is one large carnival of the high strange with many surreal physical facts reported by multiple witnesses across the entire encounter.

What these pet cases tell me is that there is a common thread running through paranormality. In these para-physical events featuring monsters, aliens and other intermediary beings the impact on the human witness is substantial, life altering at times. I think just studying these phenomena too much can cause your brain to move towards chaos.

During such intersections between humans and NHI there appears to be experiences where something has physically intruded into our reality or that we have been brought into a paranormal space through someone else's control of our senses. Perhaps it's a combination of both at once?

Either way they form the ongoing history of our folklore and mythology. They remind us that we are not alone, that there are gods and monsters in other dimensions that have the power to do whatever they want with us. At the same time they like to demonstrate an incredible ineptitude in attempting to abduct us.. it's nonsensical. It's just nonsense.
