UFO on History Channel

Last evening I found myself watching a show on History Channel about UFO's case studies.  All the reports to MUFON are kept and studied, put into a simulated status for video, and thus, made into an hour or in this case, two hour show for History Channel.

My interest in UFO's is as old as when I was a teenager walking down the street with my then best friend going to her parent's restaurant and motel.  We were headed north when we spotted a fast moving silver object in the sky to watch it travel from west to east many miles ahead of us.  We were very excited to think what it could be.  There are no airline flights in that area so far as we knew, and so it was unusual to see anything flying in the air in front of us. We kept our eyes on it until we reached the restaurant, whereupon I took my eyes off it for an instant but then it was gone.  Neither of us has forgotten it, but we had no idea what it was.  It went so fast that we could not believe that it was an ordinary aircraft.  Perhaps it had been, but we did not report this to anyone or discuss it but kept it between ourselves.  It is one of those experiences that one keeps in one's internal memory.

However, this friend and I were obsessed with the space age to the point that we wanted to build our own space ship.  We got as far as my buying cheese cloth and she buying a seat belt  for our makeshift spaceship.  It  got no further than that, but we keep the memory alive even yet this many years later.

So many years later, in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, I was sitting poolside at the motel where I was staying with  a neighbor when we spotted at 11:00 in the evening a green light streaking across the sky in front of us.  We marveled about it, wondering what it could be, and later, even the local newspaper did mention it, making a time that did not coincide with ours, but nonetheless reported that people had seen it streak across the sky. The consensus is that it was space junk burning itself out.  Nobody ever did know exactly what it was.

A year later, in fact, in October, 1975, my mother and I are driving from Grand
Blanc, MI. to Fenton, Mi. to go to a restaurant to get a bite to eat for supper. My father was in the hospital at the time getting attention for his cancerous bladder.  While driving down a major highway, I saw a speck  of black in the upper righthand side of my windshield, and just as I looked at it, it zoomed up into a full-size floating object directly ahead of us.  Cars are driving past us on I-75 but I decided to stop the car to take a look at it. We sat on the rim of the highway, staring up at this floating gyroscopic object hovering above us.  Distance and size are difficult to measure at this point. It has always reminded me of a water tower in description, and a bit of a resemblance to a Sunoco sign which we later saw as we drove to the restaurant.  It was totally gray, no lights of any kind since it was between 5 and 6 o'clock at night.  After I stopped to watch it, and it hovered above us, it then began to descend so that we could see some idea of how far away from us it was.  It did descend and then turned into an elongated shape, or cigar shape,  since we were looking at it no longer directly but at its side as it descended. I started the car back up since I knew we could not get close to it but just had to drive on to our destination.  We did not know what to make of it.  I was suspicious of a hoax as I had recently seen a t.v. show on Our Favorite Martian  in which a hoax had been perpetrated, but gradually we began to believe we had actually seen a real flying saucer as we called them in that time period.

It took me a long time to take it seriously, but since Jerry Ford had encouraged people to report sightings since many had been seen in the state, I finally did report it.  I wrote a letter to the editor about it as well for the local newspaper.  The Detroit News had been reporting incidents as well, so I finally wrote a report to Alan Hynek, a UFO authority and investigator, using President Ford's advice, and following the instructions for a report.

Ir is one of those things that one never forgets.  I did not think it was harmful or even dangerous, except for the fact that we were on a busy highway at the time, and I considered the fact that it could and in fact did affect my driving.  I had to stop to sit on the side of the road to watch it.  It was mesmerizing to watch.  It is so huge that it filled the entire windshield when it sped so quickly upon us, like an umbrella opining up.  It had been a tiny speck.  What intrigued me about the program on UFO's is that they did mention that when sighted, some UFO's seemed to stalk or chase the people in the car.  I found that when detected is when it zoomed up to hover above us.

We both drew sketches of it when we got back to my apartment.  We talked about nothing else for the rest of the evening. We did not know what to do or to whom to report it.  I realize now that to dismiss such sightings as easily as most people do is a mistake.  I did realize that it had some impact on my car.  The stories around that car are just as intriguing as is the sighting itself, but I am not going to dwell on that on the moment, but to say that it did affect the ignition when I made a trip to
Washington, DC months later.  It was the strangest trip I ever made.

Just always remember one sign I saw in that time period which is a quote from Ben Franklin: a small leak can sink a mighty ship.  Springfield, VA.

I believe many things about the UFO now.  I have had many experiences which I attribute to the UFO. I am certain that the intelligence within it is able to communicate with its viewers. In other words, I believe it has maintained communication with me.  I will illustrate with one incident that I know for certain proved it to me.  While riding on a bus in California going to Los Alamitos one time, I received a thought that said, I can stop this bus when I choose.  I just listened to this voice telling me this.  Sure enough, the bus had to stop to let all the passengers out.  For some reason or other, it could not carry us to our destination.  I believe that the voice within is what caused the bus to stop.  I never forget that incident either.  There have been other such incidents that expose its power to me.  I credit it with many incidents that involve inexplicable events.  Telekinesis is the ability to move objects at will.  I am convinced that these ufo experiences include telekinesis.

The History Channel's show prompted this explanation again.  It is truly life changing as the narrator explained.  I have always believed that the real reason to share and tell is to help others to know what to do if and when they have such an experience as this.  I did not know what to do, despite having seen advice to always carry a camera and to be ready to see it.  Had I had a camera, I do not think I would have been quick enough to use it since I was so taken in by just watching it.  It catches one off guard when it is that near and brief.

Since then I have witnessed other strange objects in the skies here in Arizona.  Lights racing around in clouds at night caught my interest years ago.  But that is another story for a different post.  I am convinced that lights in the sky here in AZ are also evidence of life in the skies unlike any that we know on earth.

Continuation of a post on the God concept

I just reread a few recent posts that I had written a while back.  I must update now while I am thinking about it.  I mentioned an ailment that I had been having.  I will be quite specific in this post so as to explain the connections in all of this.

The ailment which I mentioned caused me to google some diseases, and one that seemed to match symptoms i had had was West Niles Virus.  At first, I almost concluded that I had that disease, but after this much time has passed, I am more convinced that it is the result of red ant stings.  However, I had some of the symptoms of West Niles Virus so that I read all about it, and knew that I would either get through it or just be done in by it.  I have read the symptoms for red ant sting also, and that is more likely to be the case than the other.  But I had had a very bad headache at the time of an eagle in Big Bear having been photographed with an object in her mouth. I associate the two since they occurred at the same time and the pain I suffered was cause for me to discover if the eagle was injured or not.  She appears to be fine, and I have had no further headaches which has made me feel I had gotten through the ailment.  However, two symptoms do persist, and can be attributed to the red ant sting.  I won't explain yet, just to say that it affects the mouth and the tongue, and excessive sweating.

Because I am very sensitive about all the experiences I had with famous figures of the past when in trance state years ago, I have not discussed them openly as much as when I was first enjoying the experience.  I recall each experience that made a deep impression on me well even now, but the novelty of the person has worn off as I try to get through each day while growing older.  The one thing that all those memories or visions did for me was to convince me that the soul is eternal, and does not end as such as does the flesh.  But I must say that because one does return to the time period as it was then, all that the flesh had been then is what one does experience.  All the existing material objects of the times are as they were then, including physical appearance, clothes, housing, armament, people, animals, horses in particular, and geographic locations, etc.  All sensory experiences are as they were experienced then.  Touch, smell, sight, hearing, taste if experienced is in that time period.

Am publishing now.  It is getting late and I must get to bed.  I just wanted to add something to a topic that I had already introduced.  And to clarify a bit.  Good night.

Writing progress on Alexander Novel

It is somewhat difficult to find this blog any longer.  I have not used it as often as I did when I first began it.  I had occasionally posted a blog written here on facebook to share with followers who might be interested.  Having learned of memories on facebook, I began to write a few posts there that would be sent to me from years back.   I know that supposedly I can still find posts published on here. I am wondering now about all that now.

But the point of this was to discuss my novel on Alexander the Great that I had written a first draft to eventually turn into a published novel.  I have been rereading parts of it, sorting through it, and deciding if I continue to like it or not.  Since it is a first draft, and it was written with the attitude of attempt in mind, I have not yet written a second or revised version of it.  In fact, after reading it again last night, I was wondering whatever possessed me to think that I should write it at all.

But because I had become a bit defensive about Alexander, I had wanted to write a novel suitable for children to show the influences in his childhood that made him the man and leader that he eventually had to be.  His childhood is quite important to his drive, ambition, and conviction in his destiny.  Because when a child myself, I had been influenced to like or dislike a person in history, I decided that I would write a book that a child could read to understand and perhaps relate to Alexander in some fashion.

So I had just finished reading Trust Me, a novel about a mother who is accused of killing her only daughter by Hank Phillippi Ryan, that I began to think I should write this blog entry to explain my efforts with Alexander novel.  I had gone to see Hank when she appeared at the Poison Pen in Scottsdale years ago for a personal appearance on another of her novels.  I have read several of her books, and find her quite fascinating to read.  It helps to read authors for their own personal methods of presenting a story that can keep a reader interested and entertained.  Historical novels are a bit different in that history of that person is a known quantity so unlike mystery novels, there is little suspense.

At the autograph signing with Hank she pointed out that would be writers will be published only when they want to be.  One must want to produce, have the drive, and the momentum to finish a book.  Believe me, it is not easy to write a novel, rewrite, revise, ,and polish and shine it for publication.  Writing entails more than just getting the words on paper.

My problem had been that because I had promised myself I would not do this to myself, but finally decided to try it at least once, that I am still always pondering the decision as to whether it is wise to do it or not.  That is only because I had been so close to it for so long, and time has given me a new perspective that says yes, by all means, finish it, get it done, and get it published.  Even it is only on the pages of a  blog site like this or an independent self publishing way.  Just do it.

But because I had such a deep personal interest in it, due to my personal undertaking to learn all that I could, I became both defensive, self protective, and a bit wary of sharing this information with others.

Sometimes when one begins writing, something within pours information that is both personal and probably best kept confidential onto the writing pad.  In this case, a computer. I found two of my attempts disappeared on me, which made me suspicious about the possibility of someone hacking into my system. I am still concerned about two efforts that I would not publish at all, but which are significant to my story.

I just do not trust the internet or computer world much at all.

However, I will publish this to be only at this site. I will not share it on facebook.
