Video of Our September 2012  Event

Video of our recent “Free Lecture with Nick Redfern on The Pyramids and the Pentagon & The World’s Weirdest Places” is now availabe. Thanks to “Floyd Anderson” for videotaping, editing, and uploading the video to YouTube:

Nick Redfern’s The Pyramids and the Pentagon clearly and provocatively demonstrates that deep and dark conspiracies exist within the shadowy world of officialdom–conspiracies that have the ability to rock the foundations of civilization, religion, and history to their very core. The strange and amazing secrets of the past are just a heavily guarded government vault away.

DIRECTIONS to The Anomaly Archives

It’s a little tricky to find the first time, so here are the directions:

If you’re heading northwest on Research/183 from I-35, Mopac or 360, exit 183 at the Oak Knoll exit, pass through the light at Oak Knoll, and stay on the access road heading north. The next side street off the 183 access road will be Technology Blvd; do not turn on Technology. Immediately after you pass Technology, there will be a driveway on your right (the only one in that area) — Exit into that driveway. There will be a sign overhead for “Forest Plaza.” After you pull in, you’ll have no choice but to go to the left into Forest Plaza. Our building is the back left building within the complex — Suite 302. If you’re heading south on Research/183, you also exit at Oak Knoll, but take the u-turn just before you get to Oak Knoll, get over the right on the northbound access road, and prepare to make the right immediately after Technology Blvd. as in the directions above.

William Gibson: Fortean!

Cyberpunk Fortean William Gibson

 “I’m Totally a Fortean!” (Audio)

https://www.anomalyarchives.org/public-hall/wp-content/uploads/William-Gibson-Fortean-AustinTexas-20120906.mp3?_=1

“It’s always a pleasure to return to Austin, which in some weird way was definitely the epicenter of my literary career, such as it’s been.”

On Thursday, September 6th, I had the pleasure of finally seeing William Gibson in-the-flesh. Despite his being sick with a cold (he offered to infect any attendees with it who might’ve had such a Cronenbergian desire) Gibson read an interesting piece from his new book, Distrust That Particular Flavor, and regaled the audience with his observations on a few subjects including fashion.

It’s weird, really weird reading any of this stuff because I never read any of it before. I never read it to an audience. These were written for magazine publication. The weirdest of these, I think, the one that is most mysterious to me is an essay called Dead Man Sings that I wrote in 1998 for ASAP, which is a Forbes magazine giveaway or something. … they got in touch with me and said ‘we’d like you to write something’ and I said ‘what’ and they said ‘it doesn’t matter … [write] what you feel like.’ I’d never really gotten that before … so I really took it to heart and I sat down and sort of channeled this thing I’m about to read you and with no idea where it was coming from or really what it was about. I realized, when I was going through all these pieces, this is the one I’ve gone back to more in my writing and as sometimes happens, I think that this thing which I wrote without understanding – I wrote it in a weird kind of trance – because it didn’t matter and it had given me permission to say whatever I wanted to say, which I had never had before in non-fiction. … So this thing just came out, what I’m about to read to you, and its probably the one thing in this book that I discovered more in, over the years, since I wrote it, I suspect in some way its been the program for a lot of the fiction I’ve written since.

The essay Dead Man Sings (published as “Dead Man Speaks“ apparently) that Gibson read for us that evening is certainly evocative of much of what makes Gibson’s writings so telling and important. They grapple with the effects of technology on our culture and our experiencing of memory and history. It reminded me of a video I’d recently seen of him (filmed many years ago inside a moving car) in which he reflects on one of the details he mentioned in the essay, that is the invention of the sound recording and that period of time when there were still humans (backwoods Appalachian Americans in his example) who were being recorded for the first time and the fundamental difference (to his hears) of those recordings to everything since.

We live in, have lived through, a strange time. I know this because when I was a child the flow of forgetting was relatively unimpeded. I know this because the dead were less of a constant presence, then. Because there was once no rewind button. Because the soldiers dying in the Somme were black and white, and did not run as the living run. Because the world’s attic was still untidy. Because there were old men in the mountain valleys of my Virginia childhood who remembered a time before recorded music.

Dead Man Speaks

After the reading (and towards the end of his face-time with us and before beginning the autographing line) there was an opening for me to ask him a question that had been on my mind for a while… But before I asked the question I wanted to show my sincere feelings for the words he’d written a couple of years ago when he posted the following to his twitter feed:

“Very sad to learn of the death of @mactonnies. Whip-smart young Fortean surrealist dudes are too thin on the ground to begin with.”
twitter.com/GreatDismal/status/5096995349

As I began expressing my thanks the look on his face gave me the impression that he hadn’t understood what I was saying – perhaps it was just the idea of someone thanking him for a “tweet” (let alone one from three years ago) that struck him as odd. Once I’d shifted my comment to a question he gave a not surprising to me reply which I’m happy to add to the public record:

SMiles Lewis: I’d like to thank you for your 2009 tweet which consisted of kind words on the passing of Mac Tonnies. There’s things in your book Pattern Recognition and other books that make me ask this question: Are you now or have you ever been a Fortean?

William Gibson: Oh, I’m totally a Fortean! I’ve been a Fortean since I was… actually I’d have to find out. I’ve been a Fortean ever since Ace Books republished Charles Fort’s three great weird philosophical books about strange shit that he’d found in old old newspapers. And I continue to be … That’s Charles Fort for those of you who don’t know him. If you wanna have a really strange experience go find The Book of the Damned by Charles Fort which was published in the 1920s and has two sequels. It’s kind of the mother of all X-Files stuff.

Anomaly Archives August 26th, 2012 Meeting Review

On Sunday, August 26th a dozen Anomalists met at the INACS-HQ within the main room which houses the over three thousand books that make up the Anomaly Archives lending library. We had several good discussions on a wide variety of topics:

  • INACS Honored with Warcollier Prize
  • About the Anomaly Archives and SAI’s Mission
  • Passing of Neil Armstrong, Moon Conspiracies and More
  • Nick Redfern’s “Blue Beam” Article (which doesn’t reference Blue Beam)
  • Big News from Mufon and Steven Greer
  • Mufon Conference video from Open Minds TV
  • Copycat’s, Aurora shooting, Sihk temple and Greer
  • Rupert Sheldrake video
  • MK-Ultra, Terrible Mistake, UFOs (Kelly Hopkinsville, Hickson & Parker and PSI in Austin)
  • George Romney film clip mentioning his brainwashing upon return to the United States
  • Church hearings on CIA manipulation of media
  • Micro UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) & RPVs (Remotely Piloted Vehicles)
  • William Henry revelation Randy Powell Undiscovered Country
  • Iron Sky intro – campy Nazi-Saucers conspiracy movie
  • John Keel on Letterman circa 1982

 

INACS Honored with Warcollier Prize

First, Anomaly Archives President Miles Lewis introduced INACS Founder and Anomaly Archives board member Jim King. INACS recently received the Annual Warcollier Prize at this year’s conference of the IRVA (International Remote Viewing Association):

The International Remote Viewing Association, in collaboration with IRIS-Psi & Applications (IRIS-PA), is pleased to announce the competition for an international research award in order to encourage original research on all aspects of remote viewing, and to uphold distinguished examples of fresh research with a view to engaging intellectual attention on the future role of remote viewing. The Warcollier Prize is a financial prize jointly created by the IRVA and IRIS-PA, to be presented to the winner of a judged competition for the best research proposal investigating some aspect of remote viewing.

The Warcollier Prize has been endowed in honor of René Warcollier, the French chemical engineer and parapsychologist (April 1881 – May 1962). Warcollier devised and conducted a series of experiments in telepathic communication. The participants sought to transmit drawings, at varying distances and using only the power of the mind, to subjects who would record their impressions on paper.

www.irva.org/research/warcollier2012.html

For more information on participating in this research project or to find out about INACS’s Remote Viewing Special Interest Group please contact project coordinator Jim King.

About the Anomaly Archives and SAI’s Mission

Miles briefly described the history of the 501c3 Scientific Anomaly Institute and its Anomaly Archives lending library. He founded the Anomaly Archives in 2003 with the help of fellow INACS board members and meeting attendees Jim King and Don Switlick. We also briefly reviewed the purpose of SAI and the Archives:

The Anomaly Archives is the lending library of the Scientific Anomaly Institute, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that seeks:

  • Preservation and dissemination of scientific research into anomalous phenomena
  • Research and analysis of accumulated collections
  • Education of the public regarding scientific investigations into these phenomena

Purposes of the Institute:

  • Managing and developing an archive and library for documents and literature with regards to a multi-disciplinary approach to anomalous phenomena,
  • Supporting, promoting and pursuing research to obtain increased knowledge about anomalous phenomena, and
  • Pursuing and stimulating a critical, scientific discussion of anomalous phenomena, and providing a forum for information, support, and sharing among researchers while,
  • Functioning as the archives and library for like-minded organizations, and other groups in the community that have similar interests.
Passing of Neil Armstrong, Moon Conspiracies and More
With recent news of Neil Armstrong’s passing meeting attendees discussed the wide variety of moon and space conspiracy theories ranging from the “we never went to the moon” meme, Stanley Kubrick staging the moon landing, and popular ideas about secret space programs.

 

Nick Redfern’s “Blue Beam” Article (which doesn’t reference Blue Beam)

One of Nick Redfern’s many recent articles (linked to in this month’s newsletter) that we discussed at the meeting is titled “Faking the Second Coming.” Here Nick is writing about the oft-cited plan by American military intelligence spooks to use various technologies and techniques to fake a “Second Coming of Jesus Christ” calling for the overthrow of Fidel Castro. This and other similar use of folk beliefs to manipulate populations for parapolitical ends are believed by some to bear a direct relevance to UFOs and related phenomena. Another similar alleged military-intel plan often referenced within the conspiracy community is “Project Blue Beam.” We reviewed the history of the blue beam story and other recent news stories which seem vaguely related. We discussed the long history of conspiracy theories touting the probability of the creation of a War of the Worlds scenario utilizing a fake alien threat to unite humanity against a common foe, including Carol Rosin claim to have heard of just such a plan from none other than Wernher Von Braun.

 

Big News from Mufon and Steven Greer…
Mufon Acquires Leonard Stringfield Collection.
Mufon Conference video from Open Minds TV

At the July meeting we had briefly mentioned the rumors of “Big News” supposedly on the horizon from both Mufon and Steven Greer’s Disclosure Project. As it turns out, Mufon’s big news was announced at their annual symposium: they have secured the research collection of Dr. Leonard Stringfield. We watched a video from the Open Minds TV channel which covered the 2012 Mufon Symposium.


Open Minds TV Coverage of 2012 MUFON Symposium.

 

Dr. Steven Greer’s big news involves claims of a possible alien specimen for which his Disclosure Project is seeking donations to study, including DNA testing. Greer’s efforts to produce his latest documentary SIRIUS may or may not be setback due to the strange coincidence of the producer’s father being one of the victims at the recent Sikh Temple shooting in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.  www.Sirius.NeverendingLight.com

  • “SIRIUS” THE MOVIE POISED TO MAKE CROWD FUNDING HISTORY!

  • BREAKING NEWS: URGENT – Sirius Filmmaker Arm Kaleka’s Father Killed at Sikh Temple
    http://drgreersblog.disclosureproject.org/?p=198
    There is a chance that we may be able to include in the film “Sirius” the scientific testing of a possible Extraterrestrial Biological Entity (EBE) that has been recovered and is deceased. This EBE is in the possession of a cooperative institute desiring further scientific evaluation of the possible ET. We cannot reveal at this time the location of this being or the name of the person or persons who possess it.

 Father of Director of New Greer Disclosure Documentary Slain in Sikh Temple Shooting.

Copycat’s, Aurora shooting, Sihk temple and Greer

Mention of the Sikh Temple shooting restarted discussions we had at the July meeting regarding the Copycat Effect and murder/suicide, rampage shooting events. The many apparent and alleged anomalies surrounding the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting continue to lead many of our attendees to suspect that the event was staged and/or that James Holmes was mind-controlled. Below is a short video of Holmes presentingan overview of his research area of focus: Temporal Illusions.

A science presentation in 2006 by neuro-science student and Aurora shooting suspect James Holmes.

 

Rupert Sheldrake video

We watched a brief video of “maverick biologist” Rupert Sheldrake outlining the “Ten Dogmas Holding Science Back” from his new book soon-to-be-released book Science Set Free (already available in the UK as The Science Delusion):

1.    That nature is mechanical.
2.    That matter is unconscious.
3.    The laws of nature are fixed.
4.    The totally amount of matter and energy are always the same.
5.    That nature is purposeless.
6.    Biological inheritance is material.
7.    That memories are stored as material traces.
8.    The mind is in the brain.
9.    Telepathy and other psychic phenomena are illusory.
10.    Mechanistic medicine is the only kind that really works.

Sheldrake Against the Ten Dogmas of Bad Science.

Recall that Rupert Sheldrake was attacked by someone believing themselves to be a mind-control victim:

Frequent, vitriolic attacks are not directed just at Sheldrake’s work either; in 2008, he was stabbed in the leg by a Japanese madman who had followed him to the USA, believing that Sheldrake was using mind-control techniques on him (FT236:5).

MK-Ultra, Terrible Mistake, UFOs (Kelly Hopkinsville, Hickson & Parker and PSI in Austin)

Several times during the meeting the subject of the CIA’s MK-Ultra mind control experiments on unwitting victims was raised. Miles described several of the many extraordinary pieces of information uncovered in the voluminous mk-ultra expose by Hank Albarelli Jr. titled A TERRIBLE MISTAKE: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA’s Secret Cold War Experiments. MKultra project leader Sidney Gottlieb had the famous stage magician John Mulholland investigate Andrija Puharich (who brought psychic Uri Geller to the United States) as well as several famous UFO cases including the famous Kelly–Hopkinsville Goblins encounter. Another case mentioned in A TERRIBLE MISTAKE (because of its alleged proximity to another MKultra connected biological research facility) is the 1973 Pascagoula, Mississippi Abduction of Charles Hickson and Calbin Parker.

A TERRIBLE MISTAKE: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA’s Secret Cold War Experiments

An account of the deliberate LSD poisoning of the French village of Pont St. Esprit carried out by the CIA during the late Fifties and early Sixties. Complete coverage is in the new book A Terrible Mistake, The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA’s Secret Cold War Experiments, by H.P. Albarelli, Jr.

Below are some links to past news articles by or about Hank Albarelli’s book, including Miles’ interviews of him, plus a link to his new book on the JFK assassination.

“Psychic-Sensitive Ufo-Researcher Contactee-Artist Ray Stanford.”

Mention of Andrija Puharich, Uri Geller and Charles Hickson prompted one of our meeting attendees, who lived through much of the early UFO contactee period in American Ufological history, to tell of several different incidents involving Austin’s past scientific UFO researcher Ray Stanford.

For those not familiar with psychic UFO-hunter (now fossil-finder) Ray Stanford and his previous Austin based UFO research group PSI (Project Starlight International), you should read these links:

Several Air Force Project Blue Book files document sightings throughout the State, including one in Austin at Mansfield Dam on June 24th, 1967 (the twentieth anniversary of the Kenneth Arnold sighting and the birth of the “Modern UFO Era”). The witness was none other than psychic-sensitive ufo-researcher contactee-artist Ray Stanford.

Ray Stanford pioneered one of the world’s most interesting and instrumented approaches to civilian UFO research ever with his historic Project Starlight International. Armed with radar, cameras, magnetometers, lasers, computers and other equipment, Ray and company documented several interesting sightings just outside of Austin. In one incident an orange ball of light appeared while they had a very special terrestrial visitor on the property; Charles Hickson of the Hickson/Parker Pascagoula Mississippi Abduction. Ray Stanford has since disbanded this research lab and now uses his psychic intuition to find a wealth of rare dinosaur fossils up in the North East United States.

Many more topics were discussed at the August meeting but we’ve got to wrap-up this writeup for now.

Here are some more links to a few of the other videos we watched and the topics we talked about:

MUSIC – MOVIES – CRYPTIDS – FUN !!!

Cryptopalooza has been a long time in the making, but it’s finally a reality. Over the years friends Michael Esordi, founder of Believe It Tour, and Craig Woolheater, founder of Cryptomundo, have tossed around ideas about the conference experience and how to make it even better for people. Out of those discussions the idea began to form of starting something new and unique. Michael hit on the name Cryptopalooza and things started to pick up steam when the city of Jefferson, Texas contacted Craig about doing an event in their city.

DIRECTIONS to The Anomaly Archives

It’s a little tricky to find the first time, so here are the directions:

If you’re heading northwest on Research/183 from I-35, Mopac or 360, exit 183 at the Oak Knoll exit, pass through the light at Oak Knoll, and stay on the access road heading north. The next side street off the 183 access road will be Technology Blvd; do not turn on Technology. Immediately after you pass Technology, there will be a driveway on your right (the only one in that area) — Exit into that driveway. There will be a sign overhead for “Forest Plaza.” After you pull in, you’ll have no choice but to go to the left into Forest Plaza.

July Meeting Report

 

Saturday, July 28th a few of us met for the monthly Anomaly Archives meeting. We had a good time discussing a wide range of weird Central Texas news stories as well as watching some new UFO sighting videos, and brief videos covering the physics of information, UFO Contact and more.

We reminded our attendees that our Anomaly Archives Meetup.com account will be going away August 1st. We are sad to close this aspect of our social media presence but have had to do so due to budget issues. Folks interested in staying in the loop on all things related to the Anomaly Archives can subscribe to this newsletter in several ways:

  • Subscribe to Blog via Email – Towards the top of the left-hand sidebar is place where you can input your email address and be subscribed to the website and get updates via email. You will get a confirmation email in which there will be a link for you to affirm that you want to subscribe.

 

 

The first news story we watched and discussed was “Experts explain Chupacabra sighting in Cedar Park” about a photographer who captured pics of what authorities assure us are coyotes with mange. We talked about the research discussed by past Anomaly Archive event lecturer Jonathon Downes who came from England to work with Richie and Naomi West researching the wide range of “Texas Blue Dog” sightings around the state – some of which have yielded DNA results which challenge mainstream assumptions that these are simply mange-riddled canines and coyotes.

Then Miles Lewis spoke briefly about his visit to Newport, Rhode Island for day-job related conference. While there he visited Touro Park in the center of town where “the old stone mill” (also known as the Newport Mystery Tower) is located. He had the pleasant experience of meeting Jim Egan who runs the Newport Tower Museum across the street from the park and who has a rather different theory for the origin of the tower. Some people believe it was built by Vikings, others believe it was built by Templars or early Portuguese explorers. Jim Egan believes it owes its origins to John Dee, consultant to Queen Elizabeth I. We watched the shortest introduction to Mr. Egan’s hypothesis which is a six minute video found at his website: Newport Tower Museum.

Attendees then watched a short news report from local KEYE-TV about a herd of cattle at an Elgin ranch just outside Austin which mysteriously died apparently from eating hybrid grass which had begun producing cyanide: “Cattle Deaths Still Baffle Scientists.”

We then briefly discussed the rise in alternative news coverage of the mysterious Men-In-Black phenomenon, obviously in anticipation of the recently released third installment of the MIB movie franchise. We watched a brief classic episode of Unsolved Mysteries which featured Austin’s own MIB-experiencer Ray Muniz.

Miles asked attendees if they knew about UFO researcher Jacques Vallee’s recent presentation to the Ted-X Talks in Brussels: A Theory of Everything (Else). This lecture was not about UFOs per se but rather about Vallee’s desire to work towards a “physics of information” that might explain the many synchronistic aspects of UFO encounters and related paranormal phenomena. A couple of specific events Vallee mentioned in his brief lecture were expounded upon by Miles and the other meeting attendees. These specific events led Miles into a discussion of the recent Aurora, Colorado mass-shooting.

Miles gave some background on his experience regarding mass-shootings; he is a survivor of the 1979 Fiesta – Battle of the Flowers parade shooting which occurred in San Antonio when he was eight years old. He briefly described his memory of the event and his belief that it was his mother’s intuition that kept them from becoming the two fatalities which occurred that day. Miles discussed cryptozoologist Loren Coleman’s other areas of expertise the “Copycat Effect” (aka “Werther Effect”) and Mr. Coleman’s recent writings about the Aurora shootings which he has described as a significant shift and “Red Dawn” event. Miles told attendees about the bizarre coincidence surrounding the first identified victim of the Aurora shooting, Jessica Redfield, who had just survived another mass-shooting the month previous and the even stranger circumstance of her witnessing a bizarre person dressed as Batman at that previous shooting.

We also briefly discussed the continual blurring of the line between fact and fiction by UFO researchers from George Filer’s cooperation with the Majestic ARG (Alternate Reality Game) back in 2001 to the more recent incidents of Stanton Friedman shilling for the “Blair-Witch-Project on the Moon” horror film Apollo-18, Richard Dolan’s recent calling-out of Nick Pope on his spreading misinformation about possible alien invasion during the Olympics on behalf of some game designer as well as Robbie Graham of SilverScreenSaucers blog speculating that former CIA man Chase Brandon’s “Roswell Revelations” likely having more to do with promoting his fictional works rather than real UFO truths. You can read a review of Chase Brandon’s fiction by Shepherd Johnson at the SilverScreenSaucers blog. [More from Matthew Alford.]

We concluded the meeting by watching one of the DVD extras from David Cherniak’s 2011 EBE Award Winning documentary, in the Best Feature Film category, UFOs – The Secret History. This particular DVD extra was 45 minutes long and leads into a 2 hour and 25 minutes DVD extra that is likely equally valuable to discerning historians interested in UFO lore.

Well, until next time, we hope you’ll explore the links below for even more anomalous news…

 

Anomalous Headlines

 

Off The Charts Level Synchronicity?!?  Jessica Gawahi “Redfield”Twitter: @JessicaRedfield

 

The Batman Sighting in Toronto –

It’s all so very strange, like something out of the Twilight Zone. Jessica Redfield Gawhi experiences a “feeling” and leaves the food court at the Eaton Center right before the shootings. Then, afterwards, tweets about a man wearing a Batman costume (see screen capture below). Then a month later she is killed in a movie theater while watching a Batman movie … @JessicaRedfield, June 2: “A man dressed as BATMAN is charging tourists to take pictures outside the Eaton Center yelling “MY PARENTS ARE DEAD!” Very tacky & heartless.”

“Red Dawn” Societal Shift Event?!?

  • Copycat Effect / Twilight (Zone) LanguageJuly 19th Loren Coleman emails link to his 3rd Bane/Bain article saying, “Watch the next 36 hours!!”Early the next morning he was awakened by what he thought was someone calling his name. He got up and checked the news and discovered the Midnight Movie Massacre had occurred.

 

  • Synchromystic Threads…“It is always darkest just before the day dawneth.” – English theologian and historian Thomas Fuller (1608 – 1661)
    Harvey Dent: “The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming.” 
    ~ The Dark Knight (2008) (Video referral: RPJ/Miguel)

    The name Aurora means “dawn.” The Roman goddess of the dawn was named Aurora, and her siblings are Sol (Sun) and Luna (Moon). These names in Latin and Greek are Aurora/Eos, Sol/Helios, Luna/Selene.

    Anne Hathaway/Catwoman’s public persona character in The Dark Knight Rises is named Selene Kyle (Selene = Moon, Kyle = Strait of Water/River).

    Aurora is an extremely popular name in Norway, being the 16th most used in 2006.

     Aurora is a suburb less than 10 miles east of downtown Denver. Aurora originated in the 1880s as the town of Fletcher, taking its name from Denver businessman Donald Fletcher, who saw it as a real estate opportunity. He and his partners staked out four square miles east of Denver, but the town – and Colorado – struggled mightily after the Silver Crash of 1893. At that point Fletcher skipped town, leaving the community with a huge water debt. Inhabitants decided to rename the town Aurora in 1907, after one of the subdivisions composing the town.
    Coloradois of Spanish origin, meaning “colored red” and “ruddy.”
    The memories of Columbine (20 miles away from Aurora) are being recalled by the Colorado and other media….  The suspect’s name translates as James = “he who supplants,” Eagan = “fiery,” and Holmes = “holly” and/or “island in the river.” +++ Personal Note Why am I up this early, as Willie Geist often asks, specifically reporting on this event? Well, I was startled from my sleep, at 4:27 am Eastern, on this morning of July 20th, by what sounded like someone calling my name; I literally thought there was a person in my bedroom. Then I checked the news and heard about the Aurora shooting. I have never had such a startling awakening. Yes, I am open to Forteana, but I do not consider myself involved in psychic phenomena, per se, so this was an unusual personal incident for me.

Anomaly Archives monthly meeting report for March 24th 2012

At last month’s (March) Anomaly Archives meeting we had some great discussions on a wide range of topics, from talk of ufo whistleblowers to channeling to what books we’ve been reading. We also watched some interesting videos. More on the videos (with links) at the end of this brief meeting report for now here is more about the conversations we had.

At the beginning of the meeting we continued a discussion we’ve been having about the merits of people like UFO “Whistleblower” Robert O. Dean. For more background on the interesting story of Bob Dean and the alleged 1964 SHAPE Ufo Assessment document check out these links. This first one from an interview in mid-1996:

Here is a brief assessment of Bob Dean (and others claiming insider information) from long-time down-to-earth UFO investigator and Roswell crash believer Kevin Randle:

And here is SHAPE Historian Greg Pedlow’s analysis of Dean and the alleged UFO assessment document claims:

Meeting attendees talked about Dolores Cannon and Channeling in general, though Dolores clarifies that her messages come through the use of hypnosis. One person mentioned that they are currently reading one her books. Here are some introductory videos about Dolores:

Preview of Interview with Dolores Cannon

Dolores Cannon – Three Waves of Volunteer Souls & Ascension (Starseeds, Indigos, Crystals, etc.)

We also discussed the Trickster element within various UFO and paranormal encounters as well as deceased persons appearing in alien abductions / CE3Ks / NDEs, etc.

Of course David Icke’s ideas about reptilian’s was raised and we talked about precedents in shamanism and resonant speculative hypothesis suggested by alien abduction researcher Karla Turner in this 1994 interview at the Annual Mufon Conference which was that year held in Austin, Texas. Here are links to that interview:

From The (old) Archives: Karla Turner – Anomalous Abductee Experiences

Mike DeGroff reminded the attendees about an intriguing plan proposed by NUFORC’s (National UFO Reporting Center) Peter Davenport. It is his passive radar plan, first proposed back in 2004.

From the “Coast to Coast AM” Newsletter COASTZONE Weekend Edition for March 19, 2012:

UFO Detection: In the latter half, Director of the National UFO Reporting Center, Peter Davenport, discussed his revolutionary proposal ( PDF file) for detecting UFOs in near-Earth environment, out to a distance of around 250,000 miles. The plan calls for using a passive radar system in which signals could be analyzed to determine a target’s size, location, and other details. For example, such a system would be particularly useful in identifying craft that are in our atmosphere, doing 20,000 mph, and making sudden right turns, he said. This detection data could be shared with scientists for analysis, and eliminate the need for government disclosure, which doesn’t appear to be forthcoming, he commented. Davenport said he is seeking funding for this project– around $750,0000 is needed to set up a prototype of the passive radar system operating station (much of that cost would go toward developing the software for analyzing the intercepted signals). Ultimately, he foresees a kind of webcam system in which all the UFO detection information would be available on one public website in real time. He also talked about his UFO Hotline, which recently has received reports of spherical fireball-type objects

PDF link: http://www.dat-e-baseonline.com/front/a.asp?arg=8F7D995F927D7A64606B737A628B73798C6A706E867C736B

Here is the introduction to the paper presented at the 2004 Annual Mufon Symposium in Denver:

USING MULTISTATIC PASSIVE RADAR FOR REAL-TIME DETECTION OF UFO’S IN THE NEAR-EARTH ENVIRONMENT

Copyright 2004 Peter B. Davenport All rights reserved. Author: Peter B. Davenport Director, National UFO Reporting Center Seattle, Washington

ABSTRACT: The author proposes a system for the remote, real-time detection of UFO’s in the near- Earth environment, using passive, multi-static, frequency-modulated (FM) radar. The system capitalizes on the use of multiple, time-synchronized radio receivers to capture high-frequency radio signals reflected from a target. The time-lapse between received signals, together with three-dimensional Doppler-shift analysis, permits calculation of a target’s location, velocity, acceleration, flight path, and other parameters, possibly to include target size estimation. Signal analysis of the reflected signal, combined with analysis of target characteristics, will permit discrimination between suspected UFO’s, and targets of terrestrial origin, e.g. aircraft, satellites, space debris, meteor trails, upper atmospheric conditions, weather phenomena, migratory birds, the Moon, etc.. One application proposed may allow detection of UFO’s out to a range of at least 27,600 kilometers from the Earth’s surface.

Here is some background on similar ideas noted on the UFO UpDates eList:

Of course, this sort of instrumented approach reminds us of Austin’s own, Ray Stanford and his PSI (Project Starlight International) research efforts:

My Dad, the UFO Hunter http://www.tikaro.com/2008/01/my-dad-the-ufo-hunter.html

UFO-VECTOR SYSTEM: Communicate with UFOs by transmitting signals along a joystick-guided laser. http://www.nicap.org/madar/psi-mpic.htm

RECORDING MAGNETOMETER: Track and record moving ferrous objects (see comments for correction from Ray) magnetic fields overhead. It’s pictured below — check out the tape drive! And the big capacitors!

Other tech articles are on the main PSI tech page here. http://www.nicap.org/madar/psi.htm

From a February, 1976 “Texas Monthly” article:

“The laser [seen in the background] can provide a video readout of the UFO for the PSI people as well as transmit information to the spacecraft. The pan-and-tilt head can be moved up and down and sideways simultaneously by means of the remote-control “joystick,” but it still takes the skill of an anti-aircraft gunner to strike the UFO with the laser beam.”

For much of the middle of the meeting we each briefly talked about what we have been reading? Some of the titles and authors mentioned included Jim Mars’ RULE BY SECRECY, Tom Campbell’s MY BIG T.O.E. as well as the books of Dolores Cannon. Also mentioned were Bob Frissell, Paul Smith’s READING THE ENEMIES MIND (about the military’s Remote Viewing). We also talked about Smith’s documenting of the military’s Dowsing programs. Miles spoke about reading Jenny Randles’ book PARANORMAL PENINES.

The SERPO Saga was raised and a brief talk ensued about the merits or lack thereof regarding the whole sordid affair. Mike DeGroff mentioned it’s having caught his attention because of the inclusion in the story of a sighting that sounded strikingly similar to the famous Lonnie Zamora sighting. Here are some investigations by various groups into the strange story of SERPO:

 

Among the many other information items discussed at the March meeting were…

The weird story from a couple years ago of Eisenhower’s grand daughter:

 

Ancient Aliens episode on Rendlesham and the mysterious 1001010111010101001001 message:

  • Ancient Aliens – Rendlesham Binary Code Revealed – edited

An attendee mentioned some striking footage they remember and we’d like to look at. They described it as being from Mexico and of a cloud-cigar type ufo disgorging smaller orbs. If you think you know more about this video or have a link to it online please let us know.

Miles had brought a number of long, medium and short length videos for the group to watch. He mentioned several feature length UFO documentaries that the group might want to watch but ultimately we chose to watch a sampling of shorter length videos including:

Laredo UFO Conference videos…

Open Minds TV’s coverage of the IUFOC including…

  • 2012 UFO Congress Researcher of the Year Lee Speigel 
  • 2011 Year-in-Review

 

FLASBHACK: Nick Pope and MSM on Triangular UFO Videos in Ireland… Miles spoke briefly about his ANOMALY Magazine website and articles being cited on this MSNBC news video and how they got the story completely wrong, confusing two different incidents of bad-jacketing of an alleged ufo sighting with other known footage not related at all to the new sighting. Here is the MSNBC video with Nick Pope – whom Miles communicated with about this case. Here also are the articles alluded to in the video:

  • Nick Pope and MSM on Triangular UFO Videos in Ireland

 

We also talked briefly about these great documentaries … UFOS: THE SECRET HISTORY, OUT OF THE BLUE, and BEST EVIDENCE: TOP 10 UFO CASES.

Miles mentioned that we have videos featuring SRI/URI GELLER and Ed Mitchell Quantum Hologram and RV.

We watched Disclosure Madness animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q76cxfcNK-M

Miles mentioned one of his favorite weird close encounter cases from the early days of flying saucers. He played an old recording of Close Encounter witness Joe Simonton where he describes the pancakes the occupants gave him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Ih8jH3J88

We watched a brief local news piece about Austin’s Museum of the Weird: http://austin.ynn.com/content/community/local_wonders/283318/local-wonders—museum-of-the-weird http://www.museumoftheweird.com

Lastly, before wrapping up after a long and interesting meeting, we watched the preview for recent interview of  musician Billy Corgan by Austin’s Alex Jones from during the recent SXSW media festival. Below are links to the sneak peak and the full interview:
