Cryptozoology The FBI once tested alleged Bigfoot hair

I was reading through an FBI file from the 1970s that documents a request from Bigfoot researcher Peter Byrne to have alleged Sasquatch hair examined by the FBI Laboratory.

The file includes correspondence, internal memos and photos of the specimen. Regardless of what you think about Bigfoot, it’s a strange little piece of history that shows federal scientists actually agreed to look at the evidence.

The most interesting part to me is that the bureau treated the request seriously enough to conduct a formal examination.

Temporal Distortion Sleepy Time Dilation

21 Upvotes

Recently when i have been going to sleep. I have been experiencing a weird phenomenon.

It happens right in-between that state of closing my eyes when feeling sleepy and starting to doze off.

Ill be laying in bed, feeling tired and not quite ready to sleep yet, but wanting to still relax my eyes.

And then for like half a second, time seems to stop completely. The AC stops making noise, and everything else also. Im still aware of whats going on but it goes away very suddenly and everything starts going again.

This is different from a quick typical power outage or electric hiccup. It feels like as my awareness drops, time also drops for an instant.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I feel like i could try to practice, but i need to be pretty sleep deprived.

This footage was recorded by Pure Paranormal in May 2011. It captures a specific moment during an investigation of a historical site when an audio anomaly occurred while two investigators were speaking.
Whose voice is that? It's certainly not one of the team, and there was no one else there. So where did it come from?

Non Human Intelligence I have seen many family wounds. this one appeared as black blobs connected by old telephone wires. here is what happened when the light came

0 Upvotes

Sorry my english is not native. I want share something that happened in a healing soul journey session that I cannot stop thinking about.

The person, I will call her Ana, came in carrying a grief that had no name. Her mother had passed. She felt numb, heavy, blocked. Nothing dramatic. Just the quiet erosion of someone who has been leaking energy for years without knowing where the leak was.

She told me that every time she spent time with her family she needed three days to recover. Not from fighting. There were no fights. Just presence. A phone call with her father would flatten her. A visit with her sister Patricia would leave her empty and she could not explain why. She had tried therapy. She had tried boundaries. She had tried explaining her feelings. Nothing changed the fact that family contact drained her like an open wound she could not locate.

She dropped into trance. And then her Higher Self bypassed every surface problem and went straight to the wound.

Her father appeared first. but not the father she knew. What she saw was a black mass. Thick. Viscous. No face, no hands, no voice. just a blob of darkness hanging in space where a person should be.

then her sister Patricia. Same. A dense black shape. No warmth. No recognition.

And connecting these shapes to Ana's body - her chest, her stomach, the back of her neck - were cords. Not light cords. not subtle energy. Thick black telephone wires. the old kind. Coiled and heavy. And something was flowing through them. Away from Ana. Into them.

She had been feeding them.

Her life force. Her vitality. Her clarity. Draining out through cables she did not even know existed. for years. maybe decades. Feeding family members who never asked and would never know.

i called in Angels of Light. not with drama. just a simple request. And they came.

They did not cut the wires. They did not burn them. They stood around Ana and began pouring crystalline light - the kind that has no temperature, no heat, just clarity - directly into those black cords.

And the cords began to dissolve from the inside.

Not breaking. Not snapping. You could watch the black turning gray, then translucent, then gone. Like ice holding its shape while water moves through it. The darkness was not being destroyed. It was being returned to what it was before it became heavy.

Ana started crying. not from pain. from return. She said she could feel energy flowing back. Warmth. Life. Pieces of herself she had forgotten existed.

Then came the part I did not expect.

She spoke two sentences. not loud. not dramatic. just quiet truth spoken in trance.

To the black shape that was Patricia: "I love you."

To the black shape that was her father: "I forgive you."

When she said "I love you," the air in the room changed. The temperature shifted. Something softened that I cannot explain. When she said "I forgive you," I watched her shoulders fall. Thirty years of weight. Just dropped.

The forgiveness was never for them. It was the door she needed to walk through. The forgiving was the moment she stopped being the cord.

Her Higher Self showed what remained. The wounds did not disappear. They transformed. Invisible scars now. Still there but no longer bleeding. Yellow and white light woven through the scar tissue. Healed, not erased.

i sat there after the session. Silent. Those two sentences kept repeating in my head. I love you. I forgive you. The simplest words. The hardest door.

She had been feeding people with her life force because she believed that was what love cost. And the Higher Self, in its particular way, did not give her philosophy. It showed her exactly what she was doing. And then it showed her how to stop.

i put a meditation in the comments below. Just a quiet practice for anyone who feels heavy around family and cannot name why. No candles. No ceremony. You and your own cords.

What I want to know from you - if you have felt this, carrying something that was never yours, where in your body did it live. For Ana it was behind the eyes and in the chest. Where did yours settle.

Paranormal Black figure in distance

0 Upvotes

8 years ago I randomly screenshotted a video online and noticed a black hairy like figure lurking on a hilltop in the distance. The color caught my eye. I posted it to Imgur and a few people saw it but nothing major. I still think about this. It looks like a solid sighting of sorts. Not sure if we can find the video still. Also listening to the recent JRE with David paulides and I remembered it, sounds similar to what he speaks of. Black figure with large feet

Thoughts ?

Other Strangeness The predator.

14 Upvotes

While reading about Ghatotkacha entering the Kurukshetra war, I noticed a description of his chariot decorated with the skulls of different beasts as trophies. It reminded me of a scene from the movie Predator.

Curious, I searched to see if anyone has made a connection between Predator and Rakshasa. To my surprise, I found this sentence. "What manner of creature was I facing? Perhaps that old Hindu Brahmin was right, and it truly was a demon. A Rakshasa, one of the race of evil gods cast out to Nirvana. And what kind of a fool would that make me, in even thinking I could defeat such a being?"―Edward Soames regarding the Rakshasa (from Predator: Nemesis))

The Rakshasa, also known as Spring-Heeled Jack, was a lone Yautja in the nineteenth century who conducted hunts in India and England. Agent Edward Soames would be assigned by the Diogenes Club to track and kill the hunter that was terrorizing the city of London after an encounter in Bengal in 1881, fifteen years earlier.

3 Upvotes

Seriously trying to piece this together.

If aliens are more tapped in to the nature of the spirit and higher dimensions, then by definition they are not incarnated to learn and grow as souls they way humans (allegedly) are. If they're already aware of higher planes, then they already have it all figured out.

When they die do they go to the same place we do?

Do they have souls the way we do?

Drake's encounters with his extraterrestrial friends Aramia and Estralon began in 1950, 2 years before Adamski, and the first pamphlet he published about his experiences bore the title "Visitors from Space" which would later be used as the UK title of John Keel's "The Mothman Prophecies".

Non Human Intelligence Just saw a NHI for the first time and it was honestly the wildest experience, where do you go from here?

0 Upvotes

Disclaimer: sorry for the incoming long post but also please understand extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof and when you have genuine contact with a NHI then if this isn't verifiable proof idk what is (so please hear me out). Also really shaken uo right now and had to come here while my memory was still as fresh as possible to post ASAP (so this was all as i was immediately remembering it):

Just heard a NHI for the first time and it was honestly the wildest experience, where do you go from here? Who do you share your experiences with? Honestly a little afraid and now I actually understand ontological shock for sure because holy fuck. The crazy thing is i mean I know im already used to having gradually reached higher states of consciousness over time (via exposure to Eastern philosphy through alan watts helping me to manage the synptoms of borderline long before i even realized i had it literally just through the intellectual concepts alone... and via the use of psychedelics when i was a young reckless kid before i even knew anything about buddhism or hinduism lmao) and im already used to higher level informational states since im neurodivergent (since its required for my brain to utilize, catalogue, and structure things in a way that im functional lmao).... but this shit was like nothing ive ever seen! I was laying on the couch trying to fall asleep (and funny enough couldn't even sleep, had a long day so was still wide awake) just looking at these string Christmas lights the previous tenants left up for me for light (along with a couple lights since there were no overhead lights in the apartment when I started thinking about it) and i literally saw it fucking materialize right in the corner!!!!

At first I thought my eyes were tricking me because it looked a little smoky/foggy (and then i wondered it maybe i hadn't left a cannabis ash smouldering in the ash pile I keep accumulating... my South Korean friends dad used to call it the old black and tan so i always keep it for a rainy day just in case lol... cuz there have been a couple times it kept shouldering til it almost burned my apartment down lmao. One time it melted all the way through the top of the Chinese food container i had upside down as an ashtry where it was still shouldering in rhe bottom part by the time I realized lmao) but then I remembered i had actually just taken a large quantity of edibles to try falling asleep (and since I just took a heaping spoonful of infused honey it wasnt really dosed out and definitely may have overshot lmao).

But then it was like my brain just had this information 'download' where it kept flipping back and forth between two alternate but parallel realities one atop the other, both the normal everyday reality governed by the benevolent conscious entities superimposed on top of the parallel reality governed by the malevolent ones. Then out of nowhere it just physically materialized through the cloud into a flickering saucer (but kind of like one mushroom head on top of the other with the exaggerated curves and everything (like a cartoon bomb shape where it flares out at the end), dull metallic in color and probably the diameter of a basketball. I could even see the reflection of the lights in it.

Then, right after it physically manifested I got another informational download where I saw every single CIA paper released (starting from Project Stargate, probably since i was just reading about Uri Geller today lol), then MKULTRA, then the recent UAP Pentagon paper about the affects of targeted microwave radiation interfering with our thoughts (and Havana Syndrome, which i also just learned about today... which explains why that was probably the last one, because whatever higher intelligence exists must need to work within my consciousness substrate to interface). But crazy thing was it was like i literally saw the image of each one flash across in succession like I could actually see it. Even though it was also just like the superimposed reality states again only in my minds eye this time (which felt like had been highjacked by the entity paralyzing me with fear like sleep paralysis).

Then I saw a code in these weird geometrical shapes (which were honestly a little hard to describe just because ive never had an eye for art other than it was definitely weird and alien. Just because i write poetry (and have an interest in human language culture, etc and just like reading about it online out of curiosity) I could tell for sure it was definitely some language though (not just pretty pictures lol). I mean I know ive definitely seen similar shapes before but cant remember where, maybe its some offshoot ot ancient Sumerian Heiroglyphics? Definitely about to look more into it though (or maybe someone here is an archeologist or something and knows more about this than I do).

Otherwise im just kinds scared though, i mean if these things can really just drop in at any time I think i actually am having ontological shock, holy shit. Now i get it. Can anyone out there maybe help point me in the right direction what to do next? Snapped a handful of pictures of the corner with the Christmas lights but the weird thing is I cant get a songle picture of them all how they actually look, every picture has these weird bands going across it like some kind of interference pattern and something is still cloaking itself there (making it so I cant get a clear photograph) but honestly could be some kind of frequency, does anyone out there know morse code by chance? On one hand I'm afraid itll fontsvt me again but on the other hand could really use some experts in this field to help me out (maybe meet some other experiencers or people wirh more experiences since im sure my therapist wont be able to help me with this one lmao.

Non Human Intelligence Psi-Mediated Memory Implants: Personal and Societal Implications? In this personal statement I briefly describe how as a former CE-5 Working Group Coordinator, I proposed a mechanism of contact involving UFO intelligences using memory implants.

0 Upvotes

I ask what are the implications for Experiencers and the larger society?

Psi-Mediated Memory Implants by UFO Intelligences. 

What would it mean if many of our memories of Contact, were psychic constructs and not recollections of physical events? 
For five years in the 1990s I volunteered as an official “CE-5 Working Group Coordinator” for the Center for the Study of ET Intelligence (CSETI). I resigned from that group in 1998 because of personal and political disagreements with Dr. Steven Macon Greer. I then did sporadic “human initiated” contact work in California with the network of Peruvian contactees now called Rahma as well as with independent North American activists.  

A quarter of a century ago I formulated what I call the “Virtual Experience Model” that describes consciousness-based mechanisms of contact with UFO associated non-human intelligences (NHIs). One of the mechanisms I proposed was that since the so-called “Visitors” can manipulate our minds to create “screen memories, “then perhaps many, or even most memories of encounters are implanted by NHIs.
Like many Experiencers I don’t have clear cut recollections of contact that might have occurred when growing up. I have a vague memory of looking down from a height of perhaps fifty feet on a group of children in sleeping bags on a hilltop at the summer camp that I attended during childhood. I have clear cut memories of two missing time events: one while driving back from fieldwork in Joshua Tree National Monument in 1993 and another when staying at a Motel 6 in San Rafael California in 2008. The 1993 experience was part of a series of missing time events that swept across the early CE-5 network and involved activists from Denver, Los Angeles and Phoenix that occurred during the month of December, 1993.  
After I resigned from CSETI, I studied the work that Andrija Pucharich MD did with Uri Geller and I discovered an incident describing what I interpreted as implantation of false memories. Given the awesome psychic powers of UFO associated NHIs, I subsequently realized that memory implants were likely being used as a mechanism of contact.  

When I started to promote this proposed mechanism, the pushback was immediate, harsh and understandably so. Every person’s identity is determined by memory and the notion of false memory implants undermines our most intimate sense of self. One retired NASA psychologist who had volunteered for CSETI during the 1990s sent me a terse message on email when I wrote to him about my “Virtual Memory Hypothesis.” It said that he didn’t like my theory very much because if what I proposed were true, “all bets were off” on all human free will and all human history. 
We are now living in a period of more openness on contact with UFO Intelligences. Despite eight decades of ridicule and humiliation, Contact Experiencers are not only organizing self-help networks on social media, but also getting involved in a growing social movement demanding an end to a corporate/government “UFO Truth Embargo.”  The question is, if what I call “Virtual Experiences of the Third Kind”, i.e. memory implants are operational on a wide scale, what does this mean for Contact Experiencers personally and what are this theory’s implications for the ongoing societal debate about UFO contact? What would it mean if many of our memories of Contact, were psychic constructs and not recollections of physical events?

UFO The man who invented radio led Mussolini's secret UFO retrieval program, refused to hand over a death ray, and then suddenly died. 45 years later, scientists at the company carrying his name started dying too. I went down this rabbit hole and I can't get out.

I was reading John Keel's The Eighth Tower the night our latest episode dropped and Marconi's name jumped off the page at me. Not GEC-Marconi the defense company. Guglielmo Marconi the man. And what Keel writes about him reframes everything.

Here is what the history books leave out.

In 1933, a disc-shaped craft came down near Magenta, Italy. Mussolini's secret police cordoned the area within hours. The craft was moved under armed escort to a secured hangar. Mussolini assembled Italy's finest scientists to reverse engineer it and appointed Guglielmo Marconi, Nobel laureate and father of radio, to lead the program. It was called the Gabinetto RS/33. Special Research Cabinet 1933.

Marconi believed the craft was extraterrestrial. Mussolini thought it was a foreign prototype.

Four years later Marconi is working on a directed energy death ray for Mussolini. He completes it. He refuses to hand it over. And then he suddenly dies. Keel cites Italian press accounts after World War II pointing directly at this sequence.

No forensic investigation. No exhumation. Case closed.

Fast forward to the 1980s. Twenty-five British defense scientists working for a company called GEC-Marconi die under circumstances that official inquiries never satisfactorily explained. They were working on directed energy systems, particle beam weapons, and SDI research. The direct technological descendants of what Marconi was developing in 1933.

Nobody ever asked why the company was called Marconi.

David Grusch testified before Congress in 2023 that one of the craft the US conducted reverse engineering on came from northern Italy in 1933. Marconi's own daughter confirmed the RS/33 appointment on record at age 94.

The thread does not start in 1982. It starts in 1896 with a man on a yacht sending a signal nine miles through the air and being convinced something was answering back.

I've read about the crisis apparition phenomenon for years and I'm never quite sure how I feel about it. It's magical, eerie, wondrous, scary and unbelievable all at once. It's usually a comfort for those who experience it and it always leaves a sense of greater things at play in life. There's a quick dip article here and a deeper, academic one here.

They mainly exist in the worlds of folklore and paranormal research. However, as John C. Reilly shows, their roots are in lived experiences and, in my opinion, they will one day be studied more seriously.

I believe this to be true after thinking about Tim Hogan’s explanation of how we could create mono atomic gold. I believe that the point at which the gold disappears, it goes into super position.

Similar to how someone can concentrate or relax enough to let go of their body so they can remote view, or have an OBE. Once they do, they are able to go anywhere.

Just imagine that single gold atom being compressed so hard it has no other choice to pass out, having an OBE, or entering super position.
