A UFO story too close to home

On January 6, 2014,  I was listening to Ground Zero Radio with Clyde Lewis. His guest was Peter Davenport from the national UFO reporting center.. Davenport spoke to Lewis about a seemingly large uptick in UFO reports since January 1 of this year..
A bit into the show, I learned about a UFO case that may forever haunt me—and I should have known about it since I know exactly where this incident happened.  Davenport spoke about Todd Sees from Northumberland County, Pa. Sees vanished in 2002.. Sees was 39 and lived at the base of Montour Ridge .. he was married and a father of two. One Sunday morning he took his ATV to the top of the mountain.. He never returned. They found his four wheeler. They also found his shoe in a tree.. they found his body some time later badly mutilated.. You can read more here about the case (and you can find some archived news stories from the DAILY ITEM here) or watch this video of homicide detective Butch Witkowski speak about this..
While the UFO movement has hitched a ride to the Todd Sees story, we must always strive to take stories of this nature with large grains of salt.
No matter what, though, this story in itself may haunt you for a long time after..

Canada’s ex-defense minister: Aliens would give us more tech if we’d stop wars »

Paul Hellyer, who has long insisted that aliens have visited Earth for many years, says that when aliens saw the atomic bomb they decided that we were a great threat to the cosmos. Read this article by Chris Matyszczyk on CNET News.

If he is crazy, then he’s crazy. If aliens are real, then he may be right. But what about those hostile aliens, you know, the ones in the cigar shaped craft that take us? What about the Grays, who do bad things to people from the South?  Paul Hellyer doesn’t answer much about that, but he does say that we need to give up warfare in order to get help from the creature above..

Now a food crisis in Japan

A lot of people are getting very sick.. The LA TIMES reports:

In what appears to be a country-wide outbreak of food poisoning, 350 people in Japan have been sickened by the pesticide malathion after eating frozen chicken teriyaki with mayonnaise, cream corn croquettes or pizza, according to a police investigation.

The outbreak is being traced to Maruha Nichiro Holdings, Japan’s largest seafood firm that runs a plant north of Tokyo. The company said it had received 460,000 calls from concerned consumers. Symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea. Some customers complained of an odor as the foods were heating up.

UFO spotted in Berkshire skies leaves investigators baffled »

Object shaped like a rugby ball flew within a few feet of passenger jet at 34,000ft, claims pilot

While it may not be proof of aliens, a pilot’s testimony already strikes a special chord with me. Maybe it’s because I picture Chesley Sullenberger heroically landing a plane on the Hudson and saving the lives of hundreds. Or maybe it’s because I loved the movie AIRPLANE ever since I was kid.. Either way, if a pilot tells me something happened, I tend to believe it.
In this circumstance, we have a pilot’s own testimony that the plane was around 34,000 when he saw something..
It was said to be “cigar/rugby ball like” in shape, bright silver and “metallic” and travelling towards the jet. The pilot said he felt certain it was going to crash into his aircraft and ducked as it headed towards him, but it did not appear to make impact. He told investigators he believed the object passed “within a few feet” above the jet.
Beware the cigar shaped UFOs.. All UFO aficionados learn at an early age that they are the bad ones..
This plane is thankfully safe..
But the mystery remains.

A UFO?
Alien life?
Maybe a drone..

Or something having a little fun at everyone’s expense.. 
The jury is out.. 

Brain dead girl Jahi McMath released from California hospital »

Jahi McMath, the 13-year-old girl on a ventilator who was declared brain dead by doctors in California after tonsil surgery, was released from a hospital.

This is just an emotional draining and horrific story. I cannot even imagine what he family of this beautiful girl, Jahi, is experiencing.  There are so many things I think about when  I read updates on this matter.
One thing I don’t like seeing over and over again: the media uses “brain dead” to describe Jahi in almost every headline. I understand why they would.. but can’t we give this 13-year-old girl more respect? Can’t we describe her as “loving Jahi” or “beautiful Jahi”? Oh, better yet, just “Jahi McMath!” Maybe that would work!
While I am not an expert on the brain, I am not quite sure if anyone is.. We are going into uncharted territories as we explore more about the brain, its functions, and what it does every single day when we wake up.I listened to a pretty interesting Coast to Coast AM show Saturday night about the science of reviving people in comas. 
We can say brain dead until we are blue in the face.. sometimes miracles happen.
I think we know that Jahi’s family is praying for a miracle.. As should we all..
Pray to whatever or whoever you believe in.. if no beliefs are within you, simply send some good will and feelings their way. There’s a butterfly effect of good that can result..

Mutilated by a machete: The violence in the Central African Republic is getting worse.. and children are especially those feeling the horrors of war.. The story is very difficult to read. On Saturday night, I posted a link to a story regarding children being beheaded in the CAR on my personal Facebook page with the subtext: “While you were watching football.” I got one comment and that was it. Zippo. We need to stop ignoring Africa.. Especially when tiny innocent children are being hunted like dogs ..

A cold United States went to the movies this weekend.. they were not looking for scares, though.. FROZEN beat PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 5..I never gave a January release of a horror film much promise.. although there was one gem from a decade ago that did very well in January, DARKNESS FALLS. But a fifth sequel is certainly not original enough to score..

Here is a very interesting story from SALON.COM about Ronald Reagan and his constantly chipper mood.. According to the SALON article, Reagan’s optimism was shaped by Manly P. Hall, a famed occult thinker..

It’s a dog eat uncle Korea

Remember last month we were told that Kim Jong Un’s uncle was assassinated in North Korea?

It was a big to-do. Even Dennis Rodman was called in for his covert mission back to the nation.
The reports are unsubstantiated at this point, and the fact they are from Chinese media makes things a little more unverifiable.. 
But..
This is the first time public accounts have been rendered a to how Un did his deed…
What a way to start a new year..
