And that is yet another thing to bolster the chances of finding critters out there. And what mind-blowing critters they’d be!

Nice guy, that Wilhelm, eh, helping folks out like that…

I love Martian dust devils. Really. I do. Don’t know why, really… they’re just cool – in a decidedly alien sort of way.

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!

This is just way too cool not to share.

How I wish that I could go to this conference and just listen… oh does this sort of thing get me excited…

This would seem to lend a pretty large helping of support for the theory that the Moon was created as a result of a major collision with something quite large soon after the Earth itself had formed and was apparently still cooling.

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. William Corliss was the great Fortean man who I have always have called the reincarnation of Charles Hoy Fort himself, for his decades of ceaseless, tireless compilation of anomalous reports from around the world and the publication of same.

Although we can be deeply dismayed that Gundersen has been warning the nuclear industry of their failures for six years now, it is more disturbing to see the utter disdain for this man that was displayed loud and clear by the attendees of this meeting.

For these reasons, my opinion of this object is that it is yet another example of a plasma critter. A very nice example. It is a living creature. One that lives in the atmosphere. (its ocean, as it were), at levels even reaching a touch into space.

Wow, man, that’s one hell of a claw! I’m diggin’ it. It reminds one of a precision instrument that some technician might wield for maximum tweakage of something obscure and specialized.

What this actually is caught me by surprise when I read the description below. Always pictured an adhesive pad as, well, an adhesive pad. I would never have imagined that at least this species of beetle is perched on a large array of extremely tiny feet. Wicked! The things we learn…

I love this guy. What a strange and lovely face.

Anyway, as soon as I saw the above image the first thing I thought was about how all the “para-gurus” and other self-proclaimed “experts” are always going on about how Mrs. Nature doesn’t “do” right angles. This is especially prevalent in postings about anomalous space imagery.

So, there is something very, very Fortean about such fantastically powerful acoustic conundrums. After all, there just weren’t no Commies in the latter part of the 1600s!

Natural phenomena, perhaps? Sure, very possibly. The Earth can generate some pretty wild stuff and does so on a regular basis, so indeed many booms may be just that.

I received this article today via the Konformist. It may help to explain my head. While I sit relating to the fellow on the right, I offer this piece… Enjoy…

This interesting email just came in from my friend Rodolfo Comas…

What do you think these are?

I am fond of saying that the further from Earth we go, the weirder things get in a general sense. You’ll never convince me of otherwise. Ever. This object is just the latest in the ever-so-wacky universe that lies way, way, “out there.”

About the only thing agreed upon so far is that it isn’t a comet, based solely on composition… it’s assumed to be the result of a high speed asteroidal hit-and-run.
