  • Claim: Aliens made contact and hacked NASA Voyager 2 probe 9 billion miles away

    Claim: Aliens made contact and hacked NASA Voyager 2 probe 9 billion miles away

    This is coming from the UK EXPRESS  — at this point.. I am going to be checking for other sources to back up and cross reference some of the points reported by Jon Austin.. But it’s amazing if true..

    Thus far the HORROR REPORT implores you to take this with a grain or two of salt .. just in case.

    But here is the claim: Voyager 2 left Earth in 1977 with a treasure trove of earthly voices and materials to greet a distance civilization.. When it got to about 9 billion miles away from our home planet, a message was supposedly sent back to Earth.

    From the reporting,

    According to Physics Astronomy, NASA expert Kevin Baines said: “At a distance of about 15 billion kms from Earth, the probe suddenly started sending data in a language which they could never understand.

    “Something or someone changed the communications system of the space probe Voyager 2.”

    Voyager 2 has also visited Jupiter and Saturn.

    Mr Baines reportedly said subsequent analysis found a component in a binary code system was changed from 0 to 1.

    e added: “The assessment of the other systems, the Voyager team could not find any defect. Only one system was changed.”

    It was argued that such a specific change to the computer system suggested the probe had been tampered with.

    NASA reportedly explored the possibility that someone had hacked the spacecraft from Earth.

    There are a few issues here.. I looked for the quotes, in particular “t a distance of about 15 billion kms from Earth, the probe suddenly started sending data in a language which they could never understand.” and can’t locate anything to help me explicate this further.  I did locate some October 2016 articles relative to NASA expert Kevin Baines and the claim he made then about this Voyager 2 hacking issue.. but I really cannot figure out in what context it was said in or where it was said in..

    So at this point, we are just left with the quote.. the EXPRESS story.. and the curiosity of whether Voyager was hacked and …whether life 9 billion miles away is having some fun with us..

    A really big congrats to Heather Wade who just made the big list! If you have not heard her program in a long time you will be shocked at how good she has become!

  • The big news from NASA and what wasn’t said

    The big news from NASA and what wasn’t said

    Did you hear about TRAPPIST-1? A AMAZING SYSTEM WITH 7 EARTH-LIKE EXOPLANETS!

    That is amazing news.. exciting news. You may have to put away the political section or turn off the mainstream news to actually even hear about this monumental NASA announcement, but it’s there if you want to read it .. see it..

    Astronomers discovered the 7 planets rotating around a nearby star. Three of the planets have  good chance of having water … life.. ? But they didn’t announce life.

    The planets are 40 light years away — seems short distance but … 40 light years is not.

    In 2016 the TRAPPIST telescope found the planets. 7 have been identified…

     

    The astronomers studied regular dips in the star’s brightness.. a telescope in Chile helped find the system, along with NASA’s..

    The temperatures and sizes apparently are very similar to that of the Earth.. Amazing that so many planets in the system have the chance of being earth-like….

    TRAPPIST 1-E
    TRAPPIST F
    TRAPPIST G..
    They are the planets that could harbor oceans of water on their surfaces…

    When NASA announced that big news was coming yesterday, most of the UFO world was crossing fingers and toes that alien life would be announced. But nothing of that sort, yet. It would seem, if you were writing a novel about HOW TO release info on life, you would do it in drips and drabs.. drips and drabs have been occurring. The latest drip is that life CAN exist on several planets..  This, compared to the old days of NASA simply announcing they found planets, is different. This time we are finding planets with oceans.. we are finding potential life. WE just don’t say LIFE yet.. but close enough ..
    40 light years though.. still a distance.

    I personally don’t think it is a question of whether life exists, but just whether we find it during my own personal lifetime.

    This is a big universe. Complex in nature and mysterious in origin. We are pebbles on a beach.. maybe even fractions of a grain of sand.. But yet somehow a part of that big and amazing intricate picture of life itself.

    Amazing time to be alive. Just hope someone can discover a car that goes 40 light years a minute and get us to a new home among the stars that birthed us..

  • A Google Streetcar named desire

    A Google Streetcar named desire

    This is an oddity from the UK: A Google Street View with a View! And a bizarre coincidence …  

    The synopsis of events as written by Richard Harley-Parkinson:

    A woman who was waiting for a lift sent directions to her friend who then spotted her in the same spot on Google Street View.

    Michele Noad, 52, told pal Rick Hodge she would be standing on the corner outside Somerset County Council in Taunton where she works.

    But when he tapped the location into Google Maps to plan his journey Rick, 54, was shown a photo of his destination – featuring Michele standing on the same corner.

    He arrived at the location to find consultant Michele standing in the very same spot she had been photographed by Google five months earlier.

  • Coast to Coast AM gets press in NEW YORK TIMES

    Coast to Coast AM gets press in NEW YORK TIMES

    Jonah Engel Bromwich and Bonnie Wertheim profiled Coast to Coast AM with George Noory on Monday – and the article seemingly talked more about Art Bell than the newer host!

    The TIMES’ tone seemed positive.. but also nostalgic for the predecessor.. From the text:

    Given the size of its audience, the show might be expected to cover topics squarely in the mainstream. But Mr. Noory’s listeners, whom he refers to as “the night people,” tend to focus more on fringier fare, whether it’s U.F.O. sightings near Area 51 or the myriad conspiracy theories that Mr. Noory’s predecessor, Art Bell, established as signatures of the program.

    ……

    “Coast to Coast” began in 1984 as a talk radio program broadcasting from the Las Vegas station KDWN. Mr. Bell, its founder and first host, had originally been a D.J. He switched his focus to talk radio at a time when music listeners began to favor higher-fidelity FM stations, forcing many AM channels to switch formats. When “Coast to Coast” went national, in 1992, he started to receive calls from listeners about their paranormal experiences. Those calls soon became the show’s trademark.

    When Mr. Bell left the show, he advised Mr. Noory not to imitate his hosting style, which gave listeners the (accurate) sense that he was broadcasting from a compound in the desert. He was isolated from his audience and occasionally confrontational with callers.

    On one call from a man claiming to have worked for Area 51, Mr. Bell made his suspicion known right away: “Well, look, let’s begin by finding out whether you’re using this line properly or not.” And on Oct. 13, 1998, Mr. Bell signed off by saying: “This is it, folks. I’m going off the air and will not return.” When Mr. Noory took over, after his forerunner returned and vanished from the show a few more times, listeners noticed a shift in tone, from skeptical and sometimes critical to open-minded and kind.

    “Art was a little more, if he thought you were loo-la, he would tell you,” said Veronica Costin, who started tuning in during the 1990s. It became a ritual for her: drifting off in her San Antonio bedroom to the sounds of faraway voices.

    ….I think it sounds like Bell had a fandom in the TIMES’ press room.. perhaps those late nights burning the fish wrapper oil with Bell in the background yelling at callers with insanity.. ?

    Back to the present time: Noory is given some kind words as well from the TIMES article.. But one section pointed out just how different Bell and Noory actually are.. even reminding readers that Noory appears on Alex Jones’ radio show.. And a little product placement as well:

    Each episode of “Coast to Coast” begins with a news segment, but when asked if he saw himself as a journalist, Mr. Noory responded that he was “a facilitator of the truth, wherever that takes us.”

    His audience seems to see him as an authoritative, unifying force at a time when the country appears more fragmented than ever. Through his radio show, live events and two dating sites — Paranormal Date and Conspiracy Date — he acts as a connector and a surrogate for his listeners, whom he considers extended family. (Mr. Noory has three children and six grandchildren. He is private about his relationship status.)

    I went back in the archives of the NEW YORK TIMES and read a May 1998 profile of Coast–then hosted by Art Bell.  reported in 1998:

    Nearly 200 stations have added “Coast to Coast” in the last 18 months. One is WABC. The station’s late-night ratings have increased 30 percent, to 8.9 percent of the audience, since November. “I saw the numbers from across the country,” said Phil Boyce, WABC’s program director. “I wanted to get on that freight train.”

    How far things have come.

  • Girl ‘possessed by demons’ snarls and thrashes in shocking ‘exorcism’ video

    Girl ‘possessed by demons’ snarls and thrashes in shocking ‘exorcism’ video

    Girl ‘possessed by demons’ snarls and thrashes in shocking ‘exorcism’ video:

    Shocking footage has shown a struggling 13-year-old girl being restrained by her family as a pastor attempts to expel ‘demons’ claimed to have possessed her.

    As he spoke the Nicaraguan girl began thrashing around violently, reports El Diario de Hoy.

    Local media filmed the dramatic scene after being called by the family as witnesses.

    The family said the girl had previously been taken to see “witch doctor” after falling ill and had been given potions to treat her.

    x x x 

    I get very wary of exorcisms from third world nations for obvious reasons.. But lately so many dramatically frightening videos and audio of such events have become common..

  • FUK-D-USHIMA: Residents being forced BACK to radioactive homes!?

    FUK-D-USHIMA: Residents being forced BACK to radioactive homes!?

    “Mainstream” news reports today are shocking.. Japan is apparently pushing disaster survivors to move back to radioactive homes!

    THE HEADLINE: Around 6,000 people face returning to homes with radiation levels similar to Chernobyl – the equivalent of having a chest X-ray every week, say Greenpeace…

    The UK MIRROR has the rest of the story: 

    Fukushima survivors are being urged to return to the nuclear disaster site by the Japanese government despite radiation levels similar to Chernobyl, say Greenpeace.

    Officials are planning to slash housing support for 6,000 people from the village of Iitate on March 31, when the evacuation order is due to be lifted just six years on from the reactor meltdown, reports rt.com.

    The risk to health is on a par with the exclusion zone around the former Soviet reactor Chernobyl in what is now Ukraine – more than 30 years after it spewed plumes of killer fission, say Greenpeace Japan.

    This is the latest little tidbit of Fukushima in the news lately.. The radioactive activity is making headlines … fear over the long term effects of the nuclear disaster–still unfolding by the way–has not subsided since 2011 when the tsunami did..

    And this latest sordid tale of Japan’s government? not good at all..

  • Dangerous radioactive particles have been detected across Europe and no-one knows where they came from

    Dangerous radioactive particles have been detected across Europe and no-one knows where they came from

    Dangerous radioactive particles have been detected across Europe and no-one knows where they came from:

    DANGEROUS radioactive particles have been detected in seven different European countries and scientists can’t explain where they have come from.

    Traces of Iodine-131 were found in Norway, Finland, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, France and Spain in January, but the public were not immediately alerted.

    They appear to be coming from somewhere in Eastern Europe..

    I would assume this story has some truth to it, it is appearing in the UK SUN, which is tabloidish but still has shades of reality..

    But I am always perplexed with the question of why it’s not bigger news around the globe.

    Something very covert seemingly is taking place behind the scenes.. John McCain questioning the president overseas–even Mike Pence somewhat doing the same..Something very covert may be happening right under our noses.

    A great response to my post about FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S

    A great response to my post about FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S:

    Yesterday I posted a piece of my mind about the horror game series FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S..I questioned how young was too young for a child to play..where the fascination came from.. I recalled my own childhood and my own appreciation of certain pop culture horror icons…
    And I got a great response as a result on the linked Tumblr site.

    Mmmm. I usually don’t like to comment on tumblr too much but. I’m pretty sure before this so called “youtube channel” started playing it, there was a ton of kids who were into it when the second game came out. What you’re dealing with here isn’t blood and the “horror story” in FNAF. It’s more of the 5-6 year olds who make the fandom of FNAF. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve played all the FNAF games and I love the storyline (which is aimed at teens mostly), but I choose to play the games and not get caught in the cancerous fandom. I’m guessing kids like to be…edgy??? It’s the same thing with Undertale. And especially when Creepypastas were super popular, kids loved it and drawing gorey fanart for it. The vast majority of the influence is from the internet though. I’m not too sure if what I said helped? I can’t really give an answer to what age is appropriate to show horror to kids, because the internet has already thrown kids into a mess of fandoms.

    That last part especially makes sense it me.. the internet is throwing kids into a mess of fandoms. I don’t think I could have summarized it better myself.. it’s true and accurate..

    Everyone has a channel..youtube killed the video star and everyone has a voice. And a game controller..

    Kids do like to be edgy. My own son, now just shy of age 6 by a day, is trying to already be his own person. He is developing his own character.. he is interested in scary things, he’ll even listen to some moments of paranormal radio that I listen to before getting bored at all the old people talking and talking and talking. But FFAF? That is allowing him to go against the grain and be his own edgy little self.

    Good post .. I am happily linking it..

    Would love to continue to hear thoughts on this matter.. Comment below or email me at bryan@horrorreport.com any time..
