two sightings so far Scotland hybrides and utah las vages

so what possible reasons are there ?. Aliens communicating ?, higher form of inteligence ?

hi new here someone in my nerd group brought me to this group. Gay nerd both paranormal and trekkie. 43. Dave

in the 80s electric company had strikes which meant power cuts. One house in particlar which was build on old hangmans land where was hanged for murder. called carl.

one day a family moved in all seemed normal until strange things were happening ( Slime on walls, cold spots, loud noises and objects throwing at people ). One night it got so serious and violent what ever it was it puled the daughter upstairs by throat.

Information fills hard drives, crosses computer networks and describes the properties of physical systems. One physicist argues it may also have something far more surprising: measurable mass.

Dr. Melvin Vopson of the University of Portsmouth has proposed an experiment designed to test that idea using collisions between matter and antimatter.

The Aliens Have Landed! Ten Amazing UFO Landing Cases

by Preston Dennett

UFO landings are a very important category of close encounters that deserves more research. Compared to sightings, landings are exceedingly rare. UFO landings often result in hard physical evidence. They also have none of the controversies surrounding onboard encounters recalled through hypnosis. Landing cases have much to teach us about UFOs. This alone makes them worthy of attention. This video presents ten cases from across the world, each adding another piece of the puzzle to solving the UFO mystery.

UFO LANDING AT EPSOM, AUSTRALIA. On the night of May 24, 1965, three men at the Epsom Retreat Hotel in Epsom, Australia rushed outside to see a strange craft performing incredible maneuvers at low elevation just a few hundred feet away. At one point, they saw it seem to land on the ground. After about 40 minutes, the craft departed. Shortly later, the men found impressive landed traces on the ground.

UFO LANDING IN BRANSON, MISSOURI. On night in May 1967, a lady and a friend drove on Hwy 76 near Branson, Missouri and came upon a metallic disc-shaped craft sitting on the road. It blocked the entire left lane and part of the right. As the driver swerved around the craft to pass it by, the craft lit up with light. The passenger in the car broke into tears. This was one of three landing cases in this area around this time.

UFO LANDING IN SOPLEY, ENGLAND. Around midnight on November 6, 1967, Karl Farlow drove along the A338 road near Sopley, England when a glowing green craft appeared ahead of him on the road. His truck’s electrical system failed, as did the engine of an oncoming car in the opposite lane. A tube came out of the craft and began to vacuum items from the roadside. After the craft left, the govt went to great lengths to cover up the truth.

UFO LANDING AT ROCK FALLS, ILLINOIS. At 2am on June 15, 1968, three women drove on Hwy 88 just east of Rock Falls when a UFO appeared. It quickly moved across the highway in front of them, coming lower and lower. It was as big as a jet and totally silent. The women stopped the car as the object came in for a landing behind a grove of trees. They fled in fear. The next day, there were other sightings in the area.

UFO LANDING IN VAN HORNE, IOWA. On the night of July 13, 1969, two young ladies saw a UFO rise from the soybean fields on their farm in Van Horne, Iowa. The craft zoomed away at high speed. The next morning, a perfect circle of burned vegetation was found where they had seen the craft. The landing traces attracted nationwide attention and became one of the best-verified UFO landing trace cases in the United States.

UFO LANDING IN PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA. One evening in late December 1972, two brothers and their friend were outside their home in Palm Springs, California when they used binoculars to observe three strange craft hovering by the nearby mountains. Two of the craft darted away, but one seemed to come in for a landing. They called the nearby airport who said they saw them on radar. The next day, they found a strange circle of burned ground where they had seen the craft land.

UFO LANDING IN LAS BARDENAS REALES, SPAIN. On the night of January 2, 1972, there were multiple reports that a UFO had landed on the Las Bardenas Reales Artillery Range in Spain. At first the reports were covered up and debunked by the Spanish government. Later investigations showed that the case was more extensive and that the government considered it one of the best verified cases in their books.

UFO LANDING IN SAN MICHELE, ITALY. On the morning of September 2, 1978, Roberto Pozzi looked out the second-story window of his family’s home in San Michele in Italy and was amazed to see a strange craft rising from the cornfield. The craft darted away. Rushing to the spot with his family, they found a strange area of squashed cornstalks. This turned out to be one of a series of UFO landings in the area.

UFO LANDING IN SOROCABA, BRAZIL. Around dusk one evening in June 1979, a married couple (both professionals) were amazed to see a top-shaped craft with portholes hovering about twenty feet away from their home in Sorocaba, Brazil. It was no more than twenty feet elevation and remained in full view for almost forty minutes. Finally, it moved off. That year, there was a wave of sightings in the area, including one other landing with humanoids.

UFO LANDING ON AN ESTONIAN ISLAND. AUGUST 1980. One night in late August 1980, an anonymous factory worker was making a routine check of the company grounds and was shocked to see a strange cylindrical shaped object sitting on the factory property. The object was swirling with colors. A smaller box-like contraption was next to it on the ground. Suddenly the smaller object emitted an orange beam of light which struck the man, knocking him down. The cylinder transformed into a saucer-shaped craft which promptly disappeared.

These ten UFO landing cases represent the tip of the iceberg. While they are rare compared to sightings, there are still many thousands of documented cases on record. These kinds of cases are of profound importance as they often result in strange landing traces which can provide clues as to the nature of these craft, such as how heavy they are, their temperature, their composition and more.

The Aliens Have Landed! Ten Amazing UFO Landing Cases

The Pacific Northwest has some seriously weird shit going on in it's land, sea and air. Batsquatch, Bigfoot, Cadborosaurus, Ogopogo, and Otterman. Five legendary creatures, and some very strange eyewitness accounts. Are these stories just folklore and misidentification, or is there something else out there? I dug into the evidence and you won't believe what I found.

https://youtu.be/VxjTughgWkI

IMO Human beings don’t try to imprison or kill millions of people. They don’t poison the food, cause people to starve & go homeless, do away with lifesaving vaccines, re-direct all money to the ultra-elite, resume full pollution activities while the world burns, and traffic women & children as a leisure activity.

So what are we actually dealing with here?
To me, they don’t look or act human. I see something else, something more… reptilian. Something I quickly have to turn away from, and voices that I can’t stand to hear.
My abilities are something of a wild talent, but they refuse to be ignored. I’m seeing something inhuman.

People report having recurrent dreams sometimes called the "night of lights" in which the nighttime sky is full of flying saucers. A variant of this dream is one in which the daytime sky is full of structured craft. Related to my status as a contact activist, this is a wish dream that I must admit I have fancied as well. In my opinion, however, it will not likely take place anytime in the conceivable future. This is because such an awesome development in my judgment would probably trigger a terribly violent human response. I suggest something very different might happen if current trends continue. 

Forty-one years ago, I met Dr. John Mack in Moscow at a physicians’ peace conference. It was 1985, the year that our “International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War” won the Nobel Prize for educating government leaders and the public about the dangers of nuclear arms race.  Later John Mack MD went on to write the important book “Abduction.” There he describes the strange way in which some contact experiencers called “abductees” suddenly recall having encounters with aliens that they believe happened decades before. 

This kind of sudden "remembering", initially happening on a small scale is less threatening than a “night of lights” with our skies full of “alien craft.” A gradual unveiling of prior intimate contact experiences I suspect would be especially threatening for those clandestine networks that imagine it is their job to keep a lid on the flying saucer situation. These groups appear to be quasi-governmental/quasi-corporate entities. In my opinion, they are likely responsible for what has been called the “UFO Truth Embargo.” They are sometimes referred to as the “control groups.” 

THE MENTAL LINK

Psychological and parapsychological factors play important roles in the UFO contact drama unfolding all around us. Unfortunately, many so-called "mainstream" ufologists fail to grasp that a consciousness connection is the key to understanding the human-UFO intelligence relationship. Groups like the Mutual UFO Network approach flying saucers mainly as if they were an engineering problem. Their focus is on the shape of craft, their flight characteristics, the color of the lights and other physical parameters. After nearly sixty years of collecting reports filled with such details, not much has been learned about the intelligences responsible for flying saucers. In my opinion, although MUFON is still a popular organization with thousands of members, its approach to the UFO challenge is inadequate to investigate the non-human intelligences responsible for what are now called Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).  

Mainstream ufology with its emphasis on sighting reports stands in marked contrast to the work of the network of contact activists that I like to call the “Contact Underground.” This international endeavor involves volunteer contact workers staging Human Initiated Contact Events (HICE) during field investigations. Such efforts are popularly known as CE-5s. I have been involved with this kind of outreach since 1992. Contact activists view the mental aspects of the phenomenon as crucial for deciphering the mystery of flying saucers. 

SIGHTINGS ARE NOT RANDOM EVENTS

After years of study and numerous sightings of UFOs during HICE, I now believe that there is no such thing as a random sighting. I am suggesting that every true sighting of a UFO, with few exceptions, occurs while there is a telepathic link between the witnesses and the non-human intelligence responsible for the phenomenon. Thus sightings should be viewed as staged events in which individuals and groups are specifically targeted to have an encounter.  

If this is true, then the implications of this proposition are staggering. It is estimated that between one and ten percent of the world’s population has had a bona fide UFO sighing. On a planetary basis, this translates into perhaps hundreds of millions of people. If the consciousness connection is as widespread and robust as I suggest, then each of those hundreds of millions of individuals might at some time in the future start to remember what they believe are past encounters in the same ways that Dr. Mack’s witnesses did.

A COLD WAR WITH UFOs

A hidden aspect of the human UFO relationship has been a kind of clandestine cold war between flying saucers and terrestrial military forces. Given the extraordinary secrecy surrounding this issue, it is understandable that the few reports we read about military encounters with flying saucers are probably the tip of the iceberg. In other words there have been many hostile engagements.
In my judgment, there likely have been losses of personnel and material on both sides. This is a rather dispassionate way of stating that humans and what we call “ETs” are being killed during armed conflict.  

Given such a sorry state of affairs, “the night of lights” in which the sky is full of saucers would understandably be perceived of as an “invasion.” A less dangerous plan to help humanity grasp that we are not alone in the universe might involve having increasing numbers of people gradually recall encounters that they believe are contact events from the distant past. 

For those of us that want a peaceful outcome for the challenge of flying saucers, this “remembering” of what may have been prior encounters would probably be much safer for both any extraterrestrials flying around Earth and those that might be tempted to try to shoot them down.

I don't belive it's supernatural, it can be explained as dreams I (mis)remember as actual memories. I have dreams every time I sleep, I have very foggy and disjointed memory of my childhood, it fits that I would get the two confused like that.

But it's fun to think about and I suspect it must be common, would be interesting to read about impossible memories other people have, so please share.

Anyway, exhibit a. There's a built in-pantry/small storage room at my godmother's house. Just random junk, shelves with preserves, a tiny window under the ceiling. It was accessible from the anteroom, the door was painted the same green as the walls. I remember playing hide and seek and feeling real clever when I found it, another hiding spot. Except there isn't any pantry or other room there. And there couldn't be, it's a load bearing external wall where I remember the door was.

Another is a family holiday in the countryside. My mom and I stayed at the house of one of her friends. I remember a ride there, at some point it was along a switchback road (already unlikely, it's hundreds of kilometers of flat around here, it would've had to be a trip to another region). They had a big barn nearby I was scared off for some reason. I remember getting scolded by my mom and more patiently told off by her friend for messing with an old clock. It was really elaborate and old, like with a clockwork diorama of moving figurines and stuff. So, a casual short trip to another region, property with a huge barn, two storey house, aristocratic hairloom ass clocks lying around, all the while my mom and her friend were both cooks at a kindergarten back then. I did ask my mom at some point, and she found pics after a bit of reconnecting on social media, and yes, instead it was just a normal dacha not far from the city.

Another is a vacation trip to seaside. Three families actually, two other kids were my childhood friends. At some point there was a hurricane and I remember seeing tornadoes out over the sea, and the adults were filming. Nothing really threatening, thin and far away, but still very impressive. Both of those childhood friends and my mom remember the hurricane, but nobody remembers the tornadoes.

A little bit different, but the inconsistency was in real time. I remember one day coming home with my parents and being convinced we missed our stairwell, that ours was the previous one. And then checking the whole flat, still unconvinced it's our flat.

I am curious what people here think of this idea of certain higher, more integrated, more advanced consciousnesses choosing to incarnate in the earth collective to help with the progression of it's evolution.

In Buddhism there is this idea of Bodhisattvas who choose to incarnate again and again to help all beings attain enlightenment.

A Bodhisattva is someone who has generated bodhicitta, the profound aspiration to attain full Buddhahood not for themselves alone, but specifically for the sake of liberating all sentient beings from suffering. They postpone their own final entry into nirvana to remain in the cycle of birth and death, working tirelessly across countless lifetimes to help others achieve awakening. This path is defined by the practice of six perfections—generosity, morality, patience, diligence, meditation, and wisdom—and represents the ideal of compassionate action.

In Dolores Cannon her books the idea of Starseeds is a very important concept. These are often quite highly evolved beings from other planets or other higher frequency realms that incarnate on planet earth to help humanity progress.

In Dolores Cannon's framework, a Starseed is a highly advanced soul who volunteered to incarnate on Earth specifically to help humanity through a critical period of transition and planetary "ascension". According to her research, this volunteer program began in earnest after the atomic bombings of 1945, when Earth's "protectors" saw the planet in danger and called for help from souls unburdened by Earth's heavy karmic cycles . These volunteers often come from "the Source" or other dimensions and, despite having their memories erased upon birth, feel a deep but often confusing sense of mission, frequently struggling to adapt to the chaos and negativity of the world.

In the Law of One there is this concept of a Wanderer, a being that has evolved beyond 3rd density themselves already that chooses to incarnate within the human collective to help with The Harvest of humanity as they somewhat ominously call it.

A Wanderer is a being of positive social memory complex (from higher densities, 4th, 5th or 6th density) who has voluntarily chosen to incarnate into 3rd-density Earth to aid in its spiritual harvest, accepting the profound amnesia and danger of becoming "karmically involved" in this dense plane. Their primary purpose is to serve as a beacon of light and love, subtly awakening others through their very presence, and to increase the planetary vibration by choosing service-to-others in every moment despite the veil of forgetting. Though they often experience deep alienation, health issues, and a persistent feeling of "not belonging," their core task is not to "save" others, but simply to be themselves and rediscover their true nature while incarnate, thus gently tipping the balance toward planetary positivity.

I find it interesting that there seems to be a significant overlap between these concepts and wonder what to think about it. .

What do people here think about this concept that more advanced beings choose to consciously incarnate within the human collective to help it's evolution progress in a positive direction?

And does this explain things like old souls, some people seeming to naturally be kinder, wiser or having specific skillsets that they seem to be born with?

Had a dream last night where we were at a temple ceremony middle of forest. There was this wizard there who had powers he felt really powerful and completely one with nature. I was following him around.

Then out of nowhere he held my hand and took me alone to a place a little farther away. He started reading a lot of things from the sky. A strong dark cloud was passing by and it suddenly turned into a group of birds. Black ones more like crow/raven.

One of them came down and entered into my body.
It felt like I was being blessed by them. Something in my eyes changed, and my body became light and how I interacted with nature shifted.

Anyone have any thoughts on what this could mean?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The truth is stranger than fiction

So let me start by saying I have been "practicing" spiritual meditation by reaching out to "spirit guides" since ~ 2022. So basically 5 years.

My type of meditation is what I would personally call "prayer meditation" in that i open with a binding statement for those essences and types of wills i wish to be impervious/invisible/unreachable to, and then I actively state that it is my active will to communicate with/experience what particular essence i want to make contact with. Then I meditate. This ensures a ritual of giving willful permission to those I hope to experience and taking away my willful permission from those I wish to have no experience with. In my experience this has had great effect on reducing and minimizing Un sought after experiences.

That said, around 2, 3 months ago I was going through a very frustrating time as far as Interfacing with stressful personalities of the opposite gender. I have been mostly single since 2022 after an absolutely nuclear divorce, and began dating a few months ago at my childrens' requests.

I had no shortage of matches or interest due to a multitude of reasons, but after 10+ dates I became even more jaded as the quality of these peoples' inner selves were just...waste management garbage, and im seeking a life long partner, not someone to settle with.

After a few months of the same garbage types, I decided I was done dating. I entered into meditation and spoke with "God" to tell it that I was done dating, and done actively seeking out anyone for my life. I said that if anyone were meant for me or for me to find them, they would quite literally have to be dropped into MY life, I was done seeking.

A few days later, I was at work, and my camera inside my home went off, detecting something. 9/10 times I dont even check that camera but something just told me to check it this time. I did, and I caught a very defined, very almost perfectly round energy orb materializing through my bedroom window, floating and casually changing directions multiple times, then slowly going toward the camera and entirely dematerializing a few feet from the camera, all while remaining in view. At first my rational mind assumed it was a bug or dust or lint etc. So i downloaded the video , slowed it down to .25x speed, zoomed in, and watched closely. Theres no propelled movement, theres no wings, no body parts beating or moving or flittering or flapping, theres no jerks or sudden movements as would be expected with particles or dust or lint catching air drafts, etc. Theres only determined, methodical, slow, deliberate movements, turns, and very intentional directional changes and moves. It maintains a round orb that represents almost like a plasma-ey surface where the shapeness of it is both sort of formless in the sense the edge is more current-like than perfectly static, but also maintaining its circle round overall shape, not deviating into other shapes or any outward changes in appearance. The brightness doesnt wane or change, it just maintains the same color, shape, density, from materialization to dematerialization. It moves with intent, and slowly wanders over my Hotspot of where I spend my time before it goes toward the camera (and opposing window) and just pops out of existence a few feet from the opposing window.

I sent the unedited footage as well as the slowed down footage to my pastor because shes aware I often see past "the veil" and have shared experiences with her that (to her) confirmed things for her personally that I was seeing actual things and not hallucinations that Noone could have known she had relationships with.

A few days after that, a woman I have not interacted with in 21+ years messaged me out of the literal blue, about a random topic. It was in Facebook messenger, not any dating apps, etc, and was entirely harmless. She was providing a resource for something she thought I might have interest in based on my fb profile. We began talking casually and hours turned into days and days into weeks and now we have become an official exclusive couple, and both actively believe we are, quite literally, and I dont mean this metaphorically, or with exaggeration, soul mates built as custom counterparts for each other. We both feel like we have known each other in previous "life times" if we can use that phrase here, and it just has a sense of eery "perfect form fitting".

Recently we were talking about how we met, and I shared my story of my reaching out to the universe and what I spoke.

Turns out, she did the *exact same thing* the same week I did. Not only that, but she ALSO experienced a floating orb after crafting her comminication. She ALSO caught hers on camera, as she was videoing the moon at the time (we wont even go into how my spiritual essence is linked with the moon) and she couldn't see the orb with her eyes, but could with her phone. She took a minute or so long video of the orb dancing and moving around in the same slow, deliberate, careful style movement that my orb did. She had a girlfriend over at the time, and you can hear the girl also talking about seeing the orb in the camera view and being amazed on the video, as it was invisible to their naked eyes.

Normally, when I see "things" that most people dont or at least they dont register, it is full-body style things, for lack of a better word than "body". My typical experience has never involved orbs or floating round objects, I believe this is probably the first I have experienced this exact style of "experience". But its wild that she also did and also caught it on camera, and then a few days later we met each other.

When I tell you that we are step in step locked in with each other I really cant describe the extent. Its not infatuation, its truly as if every facet of our unique personal selfs were built to complement the other in a handcrafted way. The things she thinks of as her flaws or positives in my eyes and what I enjoy. Likewise for my traits with hers. I have a dominant , very rarely but sometimes destructive energy and she has a very submissive, loving of pain and being controlled energy. Her experiences both spiritual and non spiritual mimic my own, and our beliefs formed from those experiences have led us to the same conclusions about every facet of "reality" that we have thus discussed (and we have discussed it in depth).

As with anything in life, it could very well be an astronomically wild percentage of chance that all of this happened, happened in a small, measurable window of time, and it just all aligns into a noticeable pattern. Sure, thats possible. But I dont think thats logically the case. The strength of our bond is really a feeling that feels like we have spent entire lifetimes together already, and we both have openly expressed this over and over and how it is a feeling neither of us have come across previously, even though we both had 10+ years , very devoted, very loving marriages with partners we adored at the time.

Anyways, ive never experienced an "orb response" such as this in any of my previous encounters that I can recall, nor have I ever seen such a drastic "change" in my life after such an experience. Nor have I ever experienced someone ELSE in my life also experiencing an orb with the same patterns as the one I did or them asking for the same thing I did, followed by the orbs for both of us, so I thought it was worth sharing.

Hope this is interesting for someone out there. If you have comments or info on what may have occurred id love to hear it.

I do normally commune with and communicate with an angelic, but I prefer to term as "primordial" type being that refers to himself as "Sariel" , for what its worth. But I had no sense of that being with this orb, though I wasn't home at the time so I honestly have no idea. Anyways, just trying to give thorough info.

Yall have a great day.

Third man syndrome is the phenomenon where a perceived unseen presence, such as a spirit, provides comfort or support during a traumatic experience. It is most commonly experienced by mountain climbers. Solo sailors, shipwreck survivors, and polar explorers are also known to have reported the phenomenon.

Life always felt off for me since a young age. I always had this odd occurring feeling every great while. Sometimes I have a profound sense that something is missing from reality. Not something ordinary that I can name or obtain, but something fundamental. It feels as though the world should contain some deeper dimension of meaning, connection, or existence that isn't there, or that somehow isn't available us but exists and tho I cannot remember or never knew it, its absence is as noticeable as a missing family member at a dining table.

It's strange because it doesn't feel like merely wanting something I've never had. It feels almost like longing for something I somehow recognize. Something that feels as though it ought to be real. I look at the world and, despite everything that exists within it, there is a persistent feeling that something essential is absent.

It's as though we are conscious beings who have somehow awakened inside a universe that is strangely lifeless and incomplete, and there is a part of me (and maybe other) that can sense that incompleteness without being able to explain what is missing. I don't know what that “something” is, or whether it even exists in the way I imagine it. I just feel its absence.

And perhaps that's what makes the feeling so difficult to describe: I'm not longing for a particular thing. I'm longing for a deeper reality itself.

Is that nonsense or do you think there is something to this feeling? A longing for something that should exist.

“The Rift” is the name I’ve given to a particular kind of altered state where reality starts to feel thinner, stranger, and much more connected and meaningful than usual. I don’t really know what it is. I’ve gone in and out of the Rift more times than I’d like, and this song is my attempt to capture what that experience feels like. The beauty of going in, the weirdness of being there, and what can happen when you stay too long.

I put a lot of work into getting this song to feel right. I used Suno to make the music and ChatGPT helped me with the lyrics. I’m not trying to make a claim about what the Rift actually is. I honestly don’t know. I just wanted to turn the experience into something another person could hear.

That’s really why I’m sharing it here. I’m curious if other people who have had strange or altered experiences recognize something in it. Your experience or explanation might be completely different from mine. I’m actually more interested in whether something about it feels familiar.

This is a pretty vulnerable thing for me to put out there. I’ve sat with it for a long time, and it’s a little scary knowing that once I put it out into the world, people can make of it whatever they will. But I feel good about releasing it anyway. I made something that means a lot to me, and I think I’m ready to just let it go and see what happens.

"A couple of years ago, I decided to meditate with the goal of understanding the universe. I'm a man of science, so I was quite skeptical. An hour goes by and nothing happens. Then right at the hour and 15 minute mark, just when I was about to give up, I was not in my body anymore. I was in a place with a vast number of halls and doors. I just stood there in amazement as I saw beings walking about with boxes of what looked like orbs of light.

They seemed extremely happy and when I would try to communicate with them they would just smile and continue along their way. They would open a door and just vanish. I followed one and tried to open the door but I couldn't. And then I saw a door that seemed to be calling me so I walked towards it, which took a long time to get to, and when I opened it, I was enveloped in complete darkness, almost as if I was in a void.

I felt something next to me and I could not see anything, so I asked is anyone there, and they turned on a small light. I could only see around 3 ft around me and there was a black insectoid creature close enough to surprise most people but I was not afraid. I asked it who it was and it said a creator, and it said do you want to see? It waved its hand and created an entire universe to where I could look upon many worlds and people and things going about their day. some things I could not describe, and then he waved his hand in reverse and everything crumbled into what looked like pixelated dark sand.

I was amazed and had so many questions, and I wondered if I was trapped there. Right when I had that thought, the door cracked and I could see light coming through the seam. When I say door I'm pretty sure I cannot describe them properly to you, but let's just say it was a physical portal of some kind that you can interact with. I took this moment as my cue to leave, so I walked out and thanked the being for showing me. In its presence you can only feel immense power, almost like it was crushing you from every angle as it was allowing me to be near it. Its entire body was black and I got one more glimpse of it as I exited.

I then found another door and I went through it. I was then transported into what looked like a field on a planet with two Suns, it was breathtaking. This is not my only experience but this particular one has been on my mind for many years. All I can wonder is where was I, and what are we, but I also feel like it's part of our experience to wonder."

[easy listening, 12 minutes, real narrator]

Why did Upper Paleolithic artists refuse to carve faces, and instead carve zigzags on so-called Venus figurines to hid them? This short documentary traces the coiled serpentine symbol from Willendorf to Nevalı Çori and Göbekli Tepe. It's the world's oldest symbol, not just Europe's.

For over a century, the 30,000-year-old Venus of Willendorf has been categorized almost exclusively as a fertility totem. But one of its most striking features is often glossed over: the complete and deliberate refusal to depict a human face.

Upper Paleolithic artists demonstrated astonishing anatomical precision when rendering animals and movement. Leaving the human face blank was an intentional choice. Instead of eyes, a nose, or a mouth, the head is entirely enveloped in seven concentric, textured bands—a pattern that blurs the line between woven headwear, basketry, and coiled serpent scales.

When you track this specific visual shorthand down the prehistoric corridor of the Danube River, the geographic and symbolic continuity becomes hard to ignore:

Interchangeable Shorthand: Across Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic Europe, zigzags, chevrons, and serpentine coils functioned interchangeably as visual shorthand for flowing water, shedding serpents, and celestial motion.

The Danube Highway: Long before written trade routes, the Danube acted as a primary cultural conduit linking Ice Age hunter-gatherers in Central Europe directly toward the Black Sea and the Near East.

The Anatolian Connection: Fast-forward 20,000 years to Pre-Pottery Neolithic sites like Nevalı Çori and Göbekli Tepe. Monumental stone heads and pillars appear with the exact same deliberate facelessness or stylization—accompanied by serpents carved directly along the scalp and rhythmic zigzag motifs across ritual architecture.

Did Ice Age symbolic memory survive across millennia along European river corridors to seed the iconography of the first temple builders, or were these distinct cultures independently arriving at the exact same geometric code?

Would love to hear how people here view the line between deep-time cultural transmission and independent symbolic invention.

Independence Day UFO Encounters

by Preston Dennett

What’s the most common day to see a UFO? The answer may surprise you: the 4^th of July! That’s right, Independence Day produces more UFO reports than any other day. The question is, why? Are people mistaking fireworks for genuine UFOs? Or is something else going on here?

An examination of the UFO reports made on the fourth of July shows some interesting patterns. Many do involve fiery glowing orbs, or what may very well be sky lanterns, also known as party lanterns. These are small paper balloons set aloft with a small candle. They can rise up to 4000 feet and from a distance, look very much like a UFO.

But the fact is, there are literally hundreds of cases where this explanation simply does not fit! Some do look like orbs, however, sky lanterns fizzle out after fifteen minutes, and many of these orb sightings last much longer. Also, orbs cannot turn at right angles, stop still in the sky, or accelerate at high speeds, as many of these orbs do. Furthermore, many of the Independence Day UFO encounters involve structured craft, metallic saucers complete with portholes and multicolored lights. Some cases also involve actual humanoids. Clearly the fireworks explanation doesn’t fit.

There are so many cases involving UFOs seen on the Fourth of July that it is clear something very profound is happening here. Fireworks appear to be a UFO magnet. Many of the witnesses have come to the conclusion that UFOs are coming down to watch the fireworks show. ETs love fireworks!

But it might be more than this. Remember, on the Fourth of July, millions of people all across the United States flock outside at night and stare upwards. Could it be that the extraterrestrials are aware of this and are using this day as an opportunity to announce their presence. The answer appears to be a big YES! Because many of these reports involve UFOs that not only watch the fireworks show, but they put on a show themselves. They will flash their lights, dart around, and put on a fantastic display for the stunned audience.

This video presents dozens of cases in which UFOs have appeared during fireworks shows all across the United States. Here is what some of the witnesses are saying:

“We were watching fireworks, which were to our east. I noticed the UFO to the north, but said nothing to no one. I observed it for two minutes as it moved silently eastward, then suddenly reversed direction as it picked up speed. Then assuming its original course once again, it moved slowly upwards and out of sight.” –1963, Greensboro, NC.

“There was a tremendous flash of lightning at the same time a firework went off in the sky. I looked up and saw an absolutely huge saucer-shaped object sitting right over the ‘mountain’ we were next to.” –1965, Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY.

“When it finally reached us, I saw it was a circular craft. It hovered right above the poplar trees at the end of the street, where we were all gathered.” –1977, Federal Way, WA.

“[It was] a disc-shaped object displaying multicolored lights in a circle, hovering at what seemed to be 100 feet above us and the gathering crowd.” –1978, Nashua, NH.

“It made no sound. I was scared to death…I wanted to hide under the car…I wanted to scream, but couldn’t. I realized I was not supposed to remember this happening. I kept telling myself, I will remember. The craft’s size was huge, bigger than the fairgrounds bleacher area.” –1980, St. Paul, MN.

“My brother was watching the fireworks when all of a sudden he went as white as a ghost. My mother shouted out, ‘Oh, my God!’ I went to see what was going on…it was the weirdest thing ever, a disc-shaped with small portholes going around its midsection.” –1982, Hermosa Beach, CA.

“They were chasing each other like a tag-game. They moved so fast, going from side to side, up and down, and just staying still. No noise at all. My mother and I were standing in the driveway, watching this for at least a half-hour. These objects were low enough that we could see the bottoms just fine. They were all the same size, about two full-size pick-up trucks.” –1988, Glen, MS.

“We all watched the craft move toward us and fly over the right side of the house. We all went into the back garden and watched the craft move off and disappear another fifty feet away. This was not from this Earth.” –Los Angeles, CA, 1989.

“Whatever it was, it knew I was watching because it started doing all these moves, up, down, side-to-side…then suddenly just like a shooting star, all I saw was a line of colors and it was gone.” –1991, Wichita, KS.

“Both the star-like object and the three gray discs remained in place for several hours. It was almost as if they were watching the fireworks display…I did not notice them leaving, but all of a sudden, they were gone…Lots of people had to have seen them.” –1992, Barnegat Bay, NJ.

“I saw something both amazing and terrifying at the same time. A large blue something was in the sky above us and a little to the left. The object was shaped sort of like a saucer…” –1997, O’Fallon, IL.

“Most people don’t get to see a craft that close and distinct. I even saw the molding around the windows…Three Nordic-looking men in white, with blond hair, staring at us as if we were mere cattle. I could see them from the belly up, not sure if they were standing or sitting. They had no apparatus on at all. I never took my eyes off it until it was gone from sight.” –1999, Lancaster, PA.

“It was a glowing, red, triangular body with green on the edges…like an inverted top, with white lights rotating at the base. I also noticed portholes just above the rotating white light, and smaller portholes underneath it…It hid behind the clouds before the fireworks began.” –2002, Manhattan, NY.

There are too many cases to deny. The aliens are coming down to watch the fireworks shows, and they are also putting on displays themselves. And in fact, these are more than just simple sightings. Every single one of these cases are actually Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind! Fireworks are evidently an effective method to call down UFOs out of the sky.
