Perhaps the strangest turn of events was a link to the planned launch of a Blue Streak missile in Woomera, South Australia.

Just days after Mr Templeton had taken his photograph, that missile test on the other side of the world was aborted by technicians who reported seeing two men in the firing range.

“I came away absolutely convinced he was telling the truth and couldn’t explain it himself, although I was less convinced about his ‘Men in Black’ story. Whoever it was who visited him, I don’t think they were from the government.”

However, the spaceman, Dr Clarke says, is almost certainly not anything of the sort.

“One of the other stills [taken that day] shows Jim’s wife who, according to him, was standing behind him when he took the photo of Elizabeth,” he said.

“I think for some reason his wife walked into the shot and he didn’t see her because with that particular make of camera you could only see 70% of what was in the shot through the viewfinder.”

Annie, he argues, was standing with her back to the camera and the photograph was over-exposed – causing her blue dress to look white.

Whatever the truth, for Dr Clarke it is a reminder of a more “innocent time” and he is in no doubt about its importance.

A collection of the good, the bad, and the ugly, from the world around  and beyond..

More than 10,000 toddlers in the United States are prescribed drugs for ADHD..  Toddlers.. ADHD.. I am not discounting the valid uses for the drug in some situations, but the ADHD between two and three is called being a toddler..

The TSA’s invasive actions have become commonplace to the point where they don’t make headlines. Now at airports we just expect a sexually charged patdown from hopefully an UNstimulated agent.. Comedian Molly Shannon is speaking about her experience, saying joked (I think?) that she loves TSA screenings so much that they give her a ‘head orgasm’..

People are very naive about the future.. Most people who I talk to about the robotic wars of the new ages on the way laugh at me.. they think I am a tin foil wearing nutjob when I speak about soldiers who are more machine than man.  If you’re the same, good reading material is here from the UK GUARDIAN, scientists in the United States have created bionic particles inspired by TERMINATOR.  But with all this creating we are doing, are we going to establish a programmable moral code into the machines? If not… then what?  Machines without mercy on the way.

Better late than never?  The AIR FORCE is getting ready to dismantle HAARP.  The REAL site (though denied by many over the years) has been active since 1993.. some have blamed it for earthquakes and hurricanes..others believed it was less dangerous. Either way funding has been cut..

Remember just about 48 hours ago we and others reported that NASA had a book about aliens potentially being associated with ancient rock art? Well.. NASA has pulled that e-book. Without explanation. … Do we really need an explanation…?

The pink skies are falling.. these days it seems like, whenever a large asteroid is near the planet, it seems like it is discovered just a day or two before a potential strike.. And even worse, we hear about how we almost die a year or two after it occurs, like the 2012 solar flare that NEARLY ruined most of our grid on earth. And now this: A year after Chelyabinsk had that big meteor rip through its skies and ruin buildings, we hear this: That meteor actually collided with an asteroid before it hit earth!! What I don’t think I will ever forget is that night, while NASA was telling people not to worry about a large asteroid passing by the planet, Chelyabinsk happened and no one knew it until Twitter started flowing with images and videos of this large meteor over the Russian  city.. But what worries me about it is this: That not only were we unaware of a meteor that could hit the planet, but also apparently had no clue about this other asteroid, either. Even though we were being told no fear of the skies that very night.. We need to come up with an earth-defensive system soon. It always seems like our luck will run out.

Massive hailstorm hits parts of Pennsylvania *including me* .. Parts of Reading, PA’s Berkshire mall skyline broken into pieces.. Parts of Philly’s airport smashed..  One report I got from a friend who works in Reading, PA, said that ‘every car in the parking lot’ at her job was smashed up with broken glass all over the concrete.. With all of these earth changes on the way, we may want to reconsider glass ceilings ..

Memorial Day weekend is approaching. We will be showered with ‘news’ stories about how the summer is beginning, how the vacation season has started, and the ways movies will change our lives and become box office phenoms over the next three months.
But it all seems to fleeting.
It seems like this yearly ritual of trading seasons, cold to hot, comes and goes too fast and without much fanfare..

Whether it’s true or not, it feels like traditions are dying.
I think it is a symptom of a few things for me personally, with getting older  being one of them.. almost going full steam into my mid-30s (yes I read articles when I was in my mid-20s and talked this same way) and it just feels as though riding through like is like going 80MPH on a freeway..

You don’t have much time to see what you are passing, and you’ll constantly struggling to get to an ill-fated goal.

This year, like other Memorial Days,  there is more attention being given to car and mattress sales than there is the dead from war..  Instead of honoring the soldiers who died in battle in wars past, and previous, we are dishonoring them with badges of horror. The American Veterans Affairs scandal only drips into a bigger puddle of government inefficiency.  Tales of scandals, cooked books, alternate lists, and finally veterans meeting their final fate at the hands of an incredibly incompetent system are all the rage these days, just in time for Memorial Day weekend..  If half of what is being said about the VA system is true, this is beyond problematic. It’s crisis time.. and perhaps also time to begin asking for resignations and terminations. When 
you have the chances that terror suspects at GITMO get better treatment that veterans, that’s a problem.

Another sign of the season: A big movie release. Almost 4,000 theaters will welcome men and women of all age to the newest X-MEN film.. It remains to be seen how many people will go in holding their nose due to the allegations that Bryan Singer has had a history of raping teenage boys.  While accusations have to be proven in court, the Hollywood scandal of pedophilic directors and movie tycoons seems like a script still being written, and a scene yet to be played out. More will come, I predict. But the small bits of news may not be enough to derail X-MEN from being a big hit. X-MEN today, XXX-MEN tomorrow..

There is one more thing about 2014’s summer beginning that may be beautiful: A meteor shower visible from earth in which we may be able to spot 200 meteors per hour.  So put down your iPads and turn off your phones.. go into the night air and spot signs from the heavens.. And realize, regardless of your place in the world, we are all spinning into oblivion on a small rock in the middle of a vast galaxy, within a universe, and who knows what else.

The day after today: Hail and high winds deep in the coal region of PA I swear I was just in a scene from the DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

A monster storm just rolled through with tornado warnings and severe storm alerts.. Hail, high winds.. Saw no funnel clouds or dogs floating by my window with witches on brooms, so that’s a plus.. but word on the ‘net’ is that Danville, PA, got socked with so much hail that windshields are broken all over town..

Here is how big they were

It may sound a little cliche at this point, and you can blame it on global warming or earth changes or manmade chemtrails, but I think weather is getting stronger.

Maybe not ‘worse’ in the sense that it’s widespread, but where storms do pop up they gain so much strength so fast that it makes you truly wonder if the tails of tribulation to come across our planet are true. There was one blast of thunder that was so loud, so deep, it sounded like a train literally tore open the house and ran through ..

Mutley the Dog ran from his normal hiding spot under a desk to the closet floor and attempting to squeeze in between a pair of my jeans and the wall…

Safe here in the coal mines of PA still, though. Lots of flooding and broken trees, but life will go on.
 Always could be worse.

In a recent edition of John B. Well’s CARAVAN TO MIDNIGHT  radio program, the former Coast to Coast AM radio host unleashed on current Coast host George Noory without naming him directly.

During episode 63 of the CARAVAN talked about his ‘old radio program’ and how he thought he would be ‘among persons’ of ‘higher thinking,’ discussing subjects that were stimulants to the ‘brain and spirit.’  Wells said that some from Coast to Coast AM have contacted him, hinting that it is a means of keeping an eye on him.  He said that someone from the old program wanted him to post his shows ahead of time.

You may recall that Art Bell publicly stated during his brief stint on SIRIUS XM that Coast to Coast AM was poaching his guests and also telling their guests not to appear on the DARK MATTER program.

Wells was also critical of Coast to Coast’s choices of guests, stating that Coast purposely brought on a nuclear expert to downplay the Fukushima disaster.

During another program after his initial comments regarding Coast to Coast AM, Wells also gave a public ‘hello’ to Lisa Lyons–someone who is associated with Coast to Coast AM. Perhaps an allusion is being made that Lyons was the insider from Premiere who asked Wells who his guests were before he had them on.

Wells exited as the Saturday host of Coast to Coast AM months ago. At that time, Premiere Radio seemed to take the position that Wells went off onto a new venture. Even Noory, who publicly commented about the Wells departure on his program, said that John Wells left the program to do his own radio program. However, others including Wells himself have alluded to a forceful exit as opposed to the peaceful goodbye espoused by Premiere Radio.

The CARAVAN TO MIDNIGHT radio program has recently been fighting over online piracy, with Wells naming names during his programs and publicly decrying the pirate streams and YouTube uploads of his program. The CARAVAN TO MIDNIGHT is an online only show and subscription only service exists.

TIME MAG REPORTS:

How Facebook Knows What Television Show You’re Watching Right Now »

Facebook wants to make it easier for users to share what they’re listening to or watching. The company today announced an update to its mobile app that will allow Facebook to automatically detect what song, movie or TV show a user is listening to or watching.

A little creepy..

Facebook also will allow you to instantly post–or post for you –the song you are listening to right or the television show..

And as creepy and privacy-invasive as this is, expect it to be utilized with great ferocity by Facebook users..
It’s either the beginning of big time invasion of privacy or it’s just another example of how much we share, and in this case overshare.

But don’t kid yourself.. it’s not new technology.. Facebook listening to you in 2014 is nothing inventive.  Way back last decade in 2006, Google made some headlines because it was finalizing its plans to listen to you through your computer.

Also let’s not forget how often the power to hear you through your device has been abused. In 2010, school children in Philadelphia were being watched through their school issued laptops by officials. You know.. for ‘inappropriate behavior.  Also in 2012, then CIA chief (before the sex scandal) David Petraus said that the government will listen to us, the citizenry, through our dishwashers. 

So there you have it.. the slippery slope was already traveled .. not Facebook is simply filling the potholes, making it become ‘trendy’ and using Beyonce’s music as a selling point to sell your information to the world. At a very low cost. You’ll do it for free..

Welcome to the cloud. The very overshared and eavesdropped cloud..

What is important today is forgotten tomorrow.. So often that is the mantra of the modern age. It is my hope that the HORROR REPORT documents at least for the time we are here, the meaningful and meaningless, the weird and the murky, the spooky and the quirky. Today is no different. If it’s Thursday, it’s news thirsty Thursday.. And the news is this….

Tension yet again .. North Korea has fired a missile at a South Korean boat.. It seems like Lil Kim is constantly in a desperate series of actions to keep his name in the news and have the world fret about him. Sadly, he’s absolutely crazy and one of the people the world should indeed fret about..

A broken garden gnome is a good garden gnome.. but what about when the gnome contains a secret? The broken garden gnome is the talk of the town of Lynnsville Tennessee.. The gnome smashed to pieces but inside was another statute .. Heather Andrews has acquired local fame and now, somehow, worldwide attention with her broken gnome.. some have hinted that they think there is a religious overtone to the statue hidden within the hideous gnome.. The woman even broke open more of her garden gnomes to see if any more Jesus-like figures were hidden within. While this may not be the next plot of an INDIANA JONES movie, it’s causing quite the headlines in the small town .

The Vatican has been publicly commenting about baptizing aliens for years now–the Pope even did it recently in a ‘joking’ comment.. The man behind the original comment, Vatican astronomer Guy Consolmagno addressed Georgetown University in a commencement address where he specifically talked about his famed alien comments. He admitted aliens are not within our grasp–yet.  SETI agrees, as I wrote last night.. they think it will be about 20 years  before we realize aliens are among us.. or out there somewhere.
Getting closer..

Christian website are proclaiming a bit of a victory in light of a new poll which seems to show that Americans would take a gay, drug addicted, cheating candidate for president over an atheist in 2016.. But forgive me Lord, but I don’t see the newsworthy nature of this poll.. After all, we had the follolwing the USA: James Buchanan, who was probably the nation’s first gay president.. John Kennedy, who reportedly was so high on meth one night that he pranced naked around the lobby .. Bill Clinton, who did not inhale. Obama, who admitted he did. And an endless trove of presidents who cheated and lied their way through scandals. All of them were Christians. Men of God.
Maybe an atheist would do us well for four to eight years.

Sinkholes still stinking across the planet.. a new one just opened up in a Tennessee football stadium.. Part of the Northern end zone opened up as a small hole. As crews started the process to fill the hole, it just continued to get larger.. engineers have been brought out because plans to fill the hole have gone awry..

San Francisco should get prepared, at least if you look at history and how it all ‘shakes’ out. New research seems to suggest that a greater period of earthquake activity is coming for the city.. read more here.

QUICK HITS:
Justin Bieber likes to have sex with beautiful women.. And he is the biggest jerk on earth.

Innate dies a gruesome death at Rikers Island cell.. he was mentally ill..

Hugh Jackman’s bare rear end causing controversy in India: They think it will cause men to get raped.. The unwritten aspect of this is that Jackman’s rear is appearing in the Bryan Singer X-MEN movie.. And that’s whole different story.

Most women who get double mastectomy don’t need it..

Angelina Jolie wants to be in politics but feels she won’t be taken seriously.

Supernova Study confirms how large stars are being killed off..

Prince of Wales tries Google Glass.

The Pope is talking about baptizing aliens..
NASA is releasing books about alien rock art..
Bill Clinton is on Jimmy Kimmel freely talking about Area 51..
Yes indeed. Disclosure seems to be coming..

And today, things get even closer to full revelation. A SETI senior astronomer, Seth Shostak, stated that we may find alien life within the next 20 years.. Even more, some of that life very well come from our own solar system..

Sure, some of the life may be just minuscule and binary.. it could be little microscopic mutants living in mud on some distant world.. But it could also be intelligent life–other life forms looking for another planet to talk to.. within our grip, and theirs, too.

Perhaps the most interesting way of looking at the search was presented by SETI’s Dan Werthimer in his testimony to the House Science and Technology Committee in the nation’s capitol: I LOVE LUCY and the ED SULLIVAN SHOW has already interacted with 10,000 stars..

The nearby stars have seen ‘The Simpsons.’ If we’re broadcasting, maybe other civilizations are sending signals in our direction — either leaking signals the way that we unintentionally send off signals, or maybe a deliberate signal

It is somewhat amazing and humbling to entertain the notion that other beings from somewhere out there are watching our pop culture. It would certainly not be in real time, but would probably be a good time.

It would also be interesting to ponder this: While we search for intelligent life, did life out there catch a glimpse of our more modern television and turn away? Perhaps they gave up on us after seeing HONEY BOO BOO..?

Time will tell.
The truth is out there. Or will be in about 20 years.

There is a war in Walt Disney’s family.. His grandchildren are in a weird and sad battle over a $400 million fortune..

The Hollywood Reporter has a very detailed report on the family, and also has details on some of the strangest aspects of the fight.. Among the oddities: Accusations of kidnapping and incest, mental incompetence, and conspiracy.

Disney may be the happiest place on earth..
But they are also just another family.

These lights made big news over the Hawaiian islands Tuesday night..
Twitter and Facebook posts lit up brighter than the lights themselves..
Initially it was rumored that it was a missile launch.
Then the US Navy said they were unaware of any missile launch..
The next day the Department of Defense said it was  a missile launch..

10NEWS reports this:

“During the test, a simulated ballistic missile target was acquired, tracked, and engaged by the Aegis Weapon System,” the Department of Defense said. “Several fire control and engagement functions were exercised during the test.”

The Department of Defense said that the primary purpose of the launch was to test the functionality of an Aegis Ashore ballistic missile defense system. Defense officials called the launch successful.

Interestingly, the now confirmed missile trail over Hawaii looks a little like the much denied incident that occurred off the coast of California in 2010.
