Here’s something you don’t hear everyday!

… so I went to his Tubular page and found this.

Maybe they really ARE aliens…

It was nice to see this old film again. Kecksburg is pretty significant. Could even call it my generation’s Roswell.

Times were, um, different then. Yeah, that’s it…

Decorah Bald Eagles

Reblogged from Bigfatfurrytexan: Pssst…wanna see something really cool? Click here to see UStream of bald eagles in a nest I leave this window open, and peek in on them from time to time.  Last night I watched the babies getting fed in all its gruesome glory.  Right now they are just laying there in the [...]

Hey, now here’s a nice little tune… with a rare Fortean focus.

The Lens, Well Lit by iggymak Browse Fractal Posters The Lens, Well Lit This is another image of ‘The Lens,’ The Lens was encountered recently near an odd, grey glowing plasma cloud in the Third Quadrant of local space. Here the cloud increased dramatically in luminosity for a while, lighting up the object quite nicely. [...]

Much influence upon my formative years was wielded by this man.

Pretty cool, pretty cool. Two hours of Fortean fun. I must say that the causes found for a few of of these incidents are nearly as odd as the events themselves!

Clandestine Camping

Reblogged from Bigfatfurrytexan: This guy… Is heart wrenching to hear.  How many of you could this be, if you lost your job next week?  How many of you are just 1 paycheck away from being homeless or destitute?  Often people think that Unemployment Benefits are a safety net, but this is not always true.  For [...]

Wa hey, my good lads and lassies, I found a bit of Forteana in musical form… dig this wonderful piece of folk Americana about aliens and a little trip in a UFO.

This thing weighs more than a sparrow, three times more than a mouse… and eats carrots, whole ones I bet.

I like this phenomena. I want to experience it very badly. Judging from the recent activity level, I may not have long to wait. These new, improved noises are different, though. Very different. They’re not at all like some unseen offshore Admiral is going bonkers with his cannons… no, no, these are sustained loud groanings and creakings and metallic thrashings. They can (and usually do) go for over an hour. They are quite seriously [...]

[...] It was stiff and I mean really stiff, almost like he had made them himself out of some sort of papier-mâché type material. They were quite a large size and the insides were hard and very rough. There were no liners, just the “shells.” It was weird. My mind recoiled. [...]

William Corliss. Photo from the Cryptomundo site.A deep sadness overtook me yesterday when I learned of the passing of William Corliss a month ago, on July 8th, 2011.
