Wood on MARS!

Go nuts

Acorn Watchers Wonder What Happened to Crop

The idea seemed too crazy to Rod Simmons, a measured, careful field botanist. Naturalists in Arlington County couldn't find any acorns. None. No hickory nuts, either. Then he went out to look for himself. He came up with nothing. Nothing crunched underfoot. Nothing hit him on the head.

Then calls started coming in about crazy squirrels. Starving, skinny squirrels eating garbage, inhaling bird feed, greedily demolishing pumpkins.

This is how it begins.

What begins you say? Why the beginning of the end.

This isn't just a movie preview, its a call to paranoia and dread, how could we not join in!

The recount in Minnesota continues, and the Lizard Alien votes are in dispute.

MChallenged ballots: You be the judge

Ballot #5: Lizard People

This Beltrami County voter cast their ballot for Al Franken, but also put "Lizard People" as a write-in candidate, not only in the U.S. Senate race, but for several others. The county auditor/treasurer ruled that the vote should not be counted because it's considered an overvote. Representatives for Franken challenged that decision. (MPR Photo/Tom Robertson)

Everyone knows that Lizard People never run as themselves and always run disguised as humans (see McCain, Bush are shape-shifting alien .

I also question the vote because true supporters of "Lizard People" would use the more politically correct term: Reptillian.

UFO sighting over Philly?

PHILADELPHIA - October 8, 2008 (WPVI) -- Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a... UFO?

One thing's for sure, there appeared to be SOMETHING in the sky over Philadelphia Saturday during the Obama rally, which rocker Bruce Springsteen headlined.

As we know from a post below at this point the aliens had already endorsed Obama.

This was the alien's looking on at a pivotal point of our human / alien relationship.

And that last minute switch of the alien's endorsement to McCain? It was a fake. The McCain administration was desperate for the campaign dynamic to change. The fake failed, as it was fated.

Passenger jet's near miss with UFO

A PASSENGER jet coming in to land at Heathrow had a near miss with a UFO, the MoD files revealed.

The Alitalia flight’s captain, Achille Zaghetti, was at 22,000ft when he saw the brown, 10ft-long, missile-shaped object 1,000ft above him.

He said: “At once I said, ‘Look out’ to my co-pilot, who looked and saw what I’d seen.”

Enough with the "what candidate would you like to watch football with, beer with, teach your children, etc" polls.

What about the important things like "Who do the aliens want for President?"

UPDATE: REPUBLICANS RESENT ALIEN PICK

The Alien’s rebuttal of McCain’s lobbying has left the Republican Party fuming. After eight years of unwavering support for President Bush, his refusal to put his weight behind Senator John McCain blindsided the party.

On hearing of the Alien’s decision to back Obama, McCain pointed an accusing finger at President Bush, insiders say. The senator from Arizona is reported to have blustered: “The Alien has been a staunch Republican supporter for the past 28 years. Bush’s bungling drove him into the other camp.”

Perhaps the aliens are upset at him because he talked about their UFO's in Arizona back in 2000.

McCain Acknowledges the "Lights Over Arizona" Were UFOs

In February 2000, John McCain admitted that the famous "lights over Arizona" were in fact UFOs during a press conference broadcast over Fox News. Specifically, he was asked about the lawsuit from Peter Gersten to open UFO records from the military, and replied that it was a matter that concerned him before mentioning the Arizona lights as something that remained unsolved.

Okay now you can go back about your discussions about relations with Russia, Georgia, and Spain, but know Obama will maintain the really important diplomatic relationship.

The relationship with our alien overlords.

Body proves Bigfoot no myth, hunters say

A policeman and a former corrections officer say that on Friday they will unveil evidence of what they claim is their biggest find ever: the body of Bigfoot.
...
The carcass of the furry half-man, half-ape is 7 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs more than 500 pounds, they say. However, the two are not disclosing the exact location of their discovery to protect the remaining creatures.

Update: Bigfoot claim a fake, ex-enthusiast says

The initial promoter of two hikers' claim that they found the body of Bigfoot in Georgia said he has determined that the discovery was a hoax.

The body turned out to be rubber, and the two men who claimed that they found it, Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, have admitted that it was a costume, said a posting Tuesday on the Web sites of Searching for Bigfoot Inc. and Squatchdetective.

George H.W. Bush: The Unauthorized Biography

In a roomful of officials, some of whom were already sipping Scotch to steady their nerves, Timmons asked Dean Burch, "Dean, does Bush know about the transcript yet?"

"Yes," responded Burch.

"Well, what did he do?" inquired Timmons.

"He broke out into assholes and shit himself to death," replied Burch.

In this exchange, which is recorded in Woodward and Bernstein's "The Final Days," we grasp the essential George Bush, in a crisis, and for all seasons.

Berry-pickers report sasquatch sighting in northern Ontario

Helen Pahpasay and her mother were north of Grassy Narrows, Ont., about 230 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg, to pick blueberries last Tuesday when they spotted a hulking figure from their truck at about 10 a.m. CT.

"It was black, about eight feet long and all black, and the way it walked was upright, human-like, but more — I don't know how to describe it — more of a husky walk, I guess," she told CBC News.

"It didn't look normal."

Mystery hairs 'may have come from a Yeti'
Hairs being tested by British scientists are the best ever evidence that the legendary Yeti does exist, experts say.

The hunt for the elusive creature - said to be 10ft tall, part man, part ape and otherwise known as the Abominable Snowman - has frustrated scientists for decades.

Now tests at Oxford Brookes University on hairs said to be from a Yeti in India have failed to link the strands with any known species.

Moon-walker claims alien contact cover-up

FORMER NASA astronaut and moon-walker Dr Edgar Mitchell - a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission - has stunningly claimed aliens exist.

And he says extra-terrestrials have visited Earth on several occasions - but the alien contact has been repeatedly covered up by governments for six decades.

Radar shows large, fast, unexplained object

FORT WORTH, Texas — An enormous aircraft without transponders traveling up to 2,100 mph — at one time zooming toward President Bush's Crawford ranch — is similar to the mysterious object dozens reported seeing, according to radar documents examined by a group that studies unidentified flying objects.
...
FAA spokesman Roland Herwig said Monday that he had not seen the radar information provided to MUFON and could not comment on it or the group's interpretation of the data.

MUFON requested reports from the night of Jan. 8, when several dozen people in Texas dairy country — including a pilot, county constable, business owners and former air traffic controller — reported seeing a large silent object with bright lights flying low and fast.

Some folks reported seeing military jets chasing it, which also was confirmed in the FAA radar documents.
...
The object was between 524 feet and 1,000 feet long, according to a MUFON report released earlier this month.

Flat Earth, Hollow Earth, Growing Earth Part I

Terra Firma. Nothing is more solid in secure in your mind than the ground you walk on. It is always there. If you jump – the Earth will catch you.

But how much do you know about the Earth. You “know” it is a sphere flying about in space in an endless dance with the sun – never falling into it and never being slung free.

But that doesn’t make sense does it? I mean to your actual senses. A round earth isn’t what you are experiencing. Earth flows out before you. If it’s flat like a flattened duck….

Is science wrong? Is science hiding something? Is the earth flat? Or is it a little tubby in the middle?

Flat Earth.

"We are more gullible and superstitious today than we were in the Middle Ages, and an example of modern credulity is the widespread belief that the Earth is round. The average man can advance not a single reason for thinking that the Earth is round. He merely swallows this theory because there is something about it that appeals to the twentieth century mentality."
- George Bernard Shaw

When you are told the Earth is round you feel embarrassed that you feel that isn’t so. Rather than accept such a bizarre concept as a round earth as fact why not shout out “are you saying my eyes lie!” Humans innately know the truth that the Earth is flat, that is why maps are more popular than globes. We subconsciously want the accurate flat representation of the planet.

In 1931 Wilbur Glenn Voliva offered the tidy some of $5,000 to anyone who could prove the world was a globe. $5,000 in 1931 dollars is a lot of green, more than enough to buy a tank of gas for your gas-guzzling Model T. Mr. Voliva never had to pay out the $5,000 (as far as I can tell), because no one could prove the world was round. What proof do “they” really have: The Fake Moon Landing?

But even the science around such an obvious thing as the Earth being flat is some what contentious.

Is the Sun 23 miles around as Mr. Voliva believed? Is the Sun and Moon held up by Photoelectic Suspension? that is for future scholars to decide, because we have been taught a lie (that the Earth is round) research into the Science around the truth has been lacking. One theory posits that the heat of the Earth comes from below and not from the sun. This makes a lot of sense, because we all know heat rises, so obviously the sun only supplies heat to the heavens above it and not to us Earthlings laying flat below it.

Even Creationists argue against a Flat Earth, saying that the “Evolutionists” have created a myth that Christians believe the Earth is flat, thus making the Creationists seem ill-informed.

Which is most certainly not true.

Military probing amazing video

Ummm... did they need to use "probing" in a page title for an article on aliens and UFOs?

Anyway back to the article:

Alien army

A SHAKEN soldier told last night how he saw THIRTEEN UFOs spinning in the skies above his military barracks.

Corporal Mark Proctor was among three squaddies who spotted the objects while out on night patrol.

He filmed them on his mobile phone and reported the close encounter to Army top brass.
...
Cpl Proctor, 38, of the 1st Battalion Irish Regiment, recalled how he saw the amazing “craft” just after 11pm on Saturday, June 7.

He said: “I was on duty in the guard room when the other boys outside began shouting. I went out to see what the commotion was about and could see thirteen craft in the skies.

“They were zig-zagging, but I filmed two before they disappeared. They were like rotating cubes with multiple colours.

If you go to the site and look at the video you'll realize you've seen those ships before:

Purported UFO video to be shown Friday

A video that purportedly shows a living, breathing space alien will be shown to the news media Friday in Denver.

Jeff Peckman, who is pushing a ballot initiative to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in Denver to prepare the city for close encounters of the alien kind, said the video is authentic and convinced him that aliens exist.

"As impressive as it is, it's still one tiny portion in the context of a vast amount of peripheral evidence," he said Wednesday. "It's really the final visual confirmation of what you already know to be true having seen all the other evidence."

7 Insane Conspiracies That Actually Happened

I've discussed the first on their list before, but it really bears repeating.

#7.The Business Plot

The Plan:
In 1933, group of wealthy businessmen that allegedly included the heads of Chase Bank, GM, Goodyear, Standard Oil, the DuPont family and Senator Prescott Bush tried to recruit Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler to lead a military coup against President FDR and install a fascist dictatorship in the United States. And yes, we're talking about the same Prescott Bush who fathered one US President and grandfathered another one.

How did that work out?
A good rule of thumb: never trust a man named Smedley to run your hostile military coup for you. Besides being no fan of fascism, Smedley Butler was both a patriot and a vocal FDR supporter. Apparently none of these criminal masterminds noticed that their prospective point man had actively stumped for FDR in 1932.

Smedley spilled the beans to a congressional committee in 1934. Everyone he accused of being a conspirator vehemently denied it, and none of them were brought up on criminal charges. Still, the House McCormack-Dickstein Committee did at least acknowledge the existence of the conspiracy, which ended up never getting past the initial planning stages.

Though many of the people who had allegedly backed the Business Plot also maintained financial ties with Nazi Germany up through America's entry into World War II.

Other things covered in the list:

#6 The July 20 Plot (Operation Valkyrie to kill Hitler)
#5 Operation Ajax (Britain and American influence in overthrowing the democratically elected governor of Iran and installing the Shah - that really worked out well for everyone didn't it.)
#4 The Gunpowder Plot (how Guy Fawkes gave us that cool V for Vendetta comic and movie)
#3 The Tuskegee Experiment (You listen to Rev. Wright and think he's insane to think that the government would drug blacks? Read about the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment to learn more about where he's coming from.
#2 Operation Snow White (How Scientology broke infiltrated many parts of the US Government to destroy anything anti-Scientology)
#1 Project MKULTRA (you know the one where our tax dollars were used to drug our citizens? Now we just do it to terror suspects).

Give it a read.

Quick UFO Update

Good News Catholic TFC readers! Your belief in UFOs is okay with the Pope! So as long as you stop with the hamburger eating on Fridays while watching X-Files reruns you are in the clear:

Vatican: It's OK to believe in aliens

VATICAN CITY - Believing that the universe may contain alien life does not contradict a faith in God, the Vatican's chief astronomer said in an interview published Tuesday.

And that is really good news because there is something in the air… and what’s in the air is a UFO!

Britain releases batch of files on UFO sightings

LONDON -- The men were air traffic controllers. Experienced, calm professionals. Nobody was drinking. But they were so worried about losing their jobs that they demanded their names be kept off the official report.

No one, they knew, would believe their claim an unidentified flying object landed at the airport they were overseeing in the east of England, touched down briefly, then took off again at tremendous speed. Yet that's what they reported happened at 4 p.m. on April 19, 1984.

The incident is one of hundreds of reported sightings contained in more than 1,000 pages of formerly secret UFO documents being released Wednesday by Britain's National Archives. It is one of the few that was never explained.

And there is also news from this side of the pond:

UFO: NEW BOOK DISCLOSES UFO CRASH

A retired U.S. Air Force colonel and former fighter jet pilot says that he chased a UFO across West Texas and watched it crash along the Rio Grande River near Del Rio, Texas. Shortly after, he visited the crash site and saw a metallic object unlike any aircraft he had ever seen “sticking into the side of a hill.” Decorated World War II and Korean War veteran Robert B. Willingham, 82, discloses his strange 1955 encounter in a new book titled "The Other Roswell: UFO Crash on the Texas-Mexico border," written by UFO researchers Noe Torres and Ruben Uriarte.
