Lon Strikcler at Phantoms and Monsters has a good post about MUFON's history regarding racism. He asks the question: why is John Ventre still allowed to run around MUFON? Blog post includes thoughts from Karyn Dolan on this.   Phantoms and Monsters: Pulse of the Paranormal   ..read more

 I found my horoscope for today to be oddly weird. And sounding a bit like it was created by AI.  AI warning me of the "dark depths of society" being revealed. If they're dark depths shouldn't I be worried ..read more

 The DOD has released a pile of paper that informs us that there isn't any cover-up regarding ufos, uaps, aliens, etc. Nothing to see here. Funny! Finally, whew, the UFO -- I mean UAP -- mystery has been solved once and for all.  But just in case the above is, indeed, b.s. (that was sarcasm) the government has a UFO detection thingie to detect those non-existent objects. Roswell, New Mexico police department has new patches displaying a UFO.     ..read more

 Memory: about four years old, if that. Spread ealged on a bed no covers. Mom, Dad, Grandmother, stuck in doorway to bedroom.  They can't move past the threshold. They're stuck, watching. Waiting. I am waiting. I know "they, " or "it," will arrive soon. I am not afraid. A little anxious a little in awe, but not afraid. The ceiling above me opens. Like the roofs of an observatory; the sides of the roof slide open, revealing one huge open space exposing the night sky. Full of stars. I am still in my bed, no covers, on my back, parents and my maternal  grandmother waiting the yello ..read more

 I am soon to be seventy years old. Happy Birthday to me! I made it so far, including this bout with cancer. I will NOT give up. I am fighting every day. That aside. . . been thinking lately of my childhood encounters with aliens. Or, non-human beings, anyway.  It occurred to me, recently, that these memories includes barely seen entities that resemble the "grays." Or, "greys." About my height at the time (age around ten years old even younger) yet, I don't remember these beings as being seen in a literal sense. Or they were they all right. Utterly aware of their presence. Vivid. To ..read more

 Two episodes of synchronicity today; both trivial, if not also oddly humorous. Last night I had a funny dream where I'm in a fancy hotel suite, and James Bond (s) kept popping in. Different men, different ages and types, but each one was James Bond. They were all James Bond. There were even a couple of female James Bond. No idea what this meant just one of those silly dreams. Earlier last night, watching an episode of Sex Education, a character utters the word "spatula" in a very specific way. This morning, I'm reading the newspaper, and one of the word jumble puzzle things is about Jame ..read more

 The other day I was thinking about deju vu. How, when I was a kid, I experienced it a LOT. I mean, a lot. And still experienced it into my twenties, but less. As an adult, still, but maybe a few times a year, if that. And I couldn't remember the last time I had a moment of deja vu. Age, I suppose. (I'm sixty-nine.)  Then, yesterday, I had an intense moment of deja vu! Did my subconscious hear what I was thinking and respond? Did the universe hear and respond? Synchronicity? Definitely that. But more than that.    ..read more

 I posted in November that our eighteen year old cat Mango has passed on.  Two  weeks ago we adopted two cats. We didn't have any intention of getting two cats, but after visiting with a few cats at the animal shelter, we found this bonded pair (had to be adopted together) and we just fell in love.  They are four years old. When we brought them home they immediately adjusted to their new environment. They behaved as if they've always lived here. Amazing. Both cats are extremely affectionate. They sleep with me when I'm having an off day due to chemo. They sense my physical ..read more
