Just some UFO fun for your work week. Jimmy Durante sings a nice little song about flying saucers.
“lets go for a spin …were goin u.f.o-ing
were tryin’ saucer flyin’
we’ve flied across the skies ….no body will believe there eyes
just when they think they’ve seen us …we zoom away to Venus”

We’re going UFOing

When Dr. Konstantin Raudive released his 1971 book, Breakthrough: An Amazing Experiment In Electronic Communication With The Dead it came with a flexi-disc recording of EVP samples. I don’t know why I never posted it before but here are both sides of the flexi converted to mp3. By the way check out side one about 3:30 seconds in and discover a sample used by Morrissey, of The Smiths, on their song Rubber Ring. You are sleeping..you do not want to believe…

Recently I became a fairly active member of a paranormal team out of Greencastle, Indiana. I was brought onboard as a consultant/mentor but they have made me feel like I am part of their family. I deeply thank them for having me become a part of their experiences and lives. You can meet the team online at Hoosier State Paranormal They are a wonderful, smart and energetic group with a ton of ideas that I really think can help the “paranormal” community.

I’d like to thank everyone that made 2009 such a special year. Sorry I haven’t posted any updates but the past couple of months have been very busy and unexpectedly exciting. At the end of November I purchased a house and while moving is an overwhelming chore I love that I will have a dedicated recording studio as well as a library/office. Also, I was told that I can now announce that I have been put under contract with a major cable network to produce a pilot episode of a new paranormal show. I know the television ether has been filled with new shows about strange phenomena but hopefully I can bring some level-headed common sense to this genre that has taken the world by storm. Again, Thank you to everyone that made 2009 such a fantastic year and I hope to see you all in 2010.

Back in 1999 I got an email from a man in Traverse City, Michigan who wanted to know if I had heard about the police chasing a UFO. I hadn’t heard anything so I told him I’d try and find out. To make a long story short, I’ll tell you over dinner sometime, I gained possession of the dispatch recording from that night and sure enough someone was seeing something. Listen to the police officer’s amazement at the object, listen to the other police officers and dispatchers make jokes like “We come in Peace” and “Someone call Art Bell”. The entire recording spans about 45 minutes in length so I’ve clipped out all of the dead air and the recording is now about 12 minutes long. You’ll sigh with relief at the end of the recording when the Captain shows up at the scene of the sighting and tells everybody “It was just Venus”…even though earlier the officer who saw the object says “It’s no planet”. Whew.

Since everyone is jumping on The Beatles bandwagon lately, so will I. On August 23rd, 1974 John Lennon was on the balcony of his apartment in New York. He witnessed and later described a “Flying Saucer” hovering near his building, not a helicopter, and not a balloon.

In the clip provided below you can listen to John explain, in his own words, what he saw.

Life magazine looks at 31 conspiracy theories. Although it seems like they were running about of ideas when you realize they separate the JFK assassination, Ruby’s death and Lee Harvey Oswald’s death, which I usually incorporate into the same conspiracy. Click here to see the article At least they didn’t use this as a chance to just say, “fake”.

Music lovers had nothing to be outraged about lately so wasn’t it fantastic when Kayne West jumped to the stage during MTV’s music awards on Sunday night. The hip-hop star interrupted country singer Taylor Swift’s acceptance of her award for Best Female Video. Shock, at Mr. West’s actions, were felt around the gossip-sphere. Music fans asked “How could he do that?” “Will he apologize?” Luckily Kayne West was scheduled for an interview on the premier episode of Jay Leno’s new show the following day.

I know it’s not an “aliens run the planet” conspiracy but was it all hoaxed? If only there was a connection between the parties involved. Oh wait a minute.

Big Machine Records is an American independent record label specializing in country music artists. Big Machine joined with Universal Republic in June 2009 to found a new label, Republic Records Nashville. It’s recording stars include the American country popstar Taylor Swift.

Roc-A-Fella Records is an American vanity record label founded by Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, Damon Dash, and Kareem “Biggs” Burke. A subsidiary of Universal Music Group. It’s recording stars include the award winner Kayne West

The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) is an American television network and is currently part of the media company NBC Universal.

A very interesting aspect, at least to me, is Kayne’s apology on Jay Leno. It seemed that the entire segment was contrived to not actually mention what had happened and who it involved. Approaching it in this way  would make people who didn’t know transpired want to find out. Kayne only says “Taylor” once during the interview and it’s 2 minutes and 30 seconds into an interview that is only 2 minutes and 50 seconds long. And, again. he never even says what happened that he is apologizing for. The “What would your mother say to you” question by Leno is so over dramatic it’s like watching a soap opera.

So Kayne will sell more records, since he will retain his “rebel” status. Taylor Swift will sell more records and become America’s darling because she was “shamed” on national TV, and people will watch Jay Leno’s show to see Kayne apologize. The question remains, “Who lost anything in this?” The answer, “No one”. America you’ve just been conned.
