    Forty years ago today ...
    An anniversary ...


    Looking back at the Mount St. Helens eruption


    Forty years ago, on May 18, 1980, a volcano in Washington state erupted, killing 57 and triggering a debris avalanche that destroyed hundreds of square miles of forest. Correspondent Luke Burbank talks with Steve Olson, author of "Eruption: The Untold Story of Mount St. Helens," about the largest volcanic event in U.S. history.

    Via Norio F. Hayakawa

    "My strange views on the entire UFO phenomenon" ...




    “Human beings are under the control of a strange force that bends them in absurd ways, forcing them to play a role in a bizarre game of deception” – – Jacques Vallee

    by Norio Hayakawa:

    The UFO phenomenon appears to me as a paraphysical intrusion into our physical dimension by an unknown intelligence or unknown sentient entitities, paraphysically materializing themselves to a “pre-selected” observer (or a group of observers, whether small or large) and presenting to the observer as a physical extraterrestrial phenomenon and visitation for reasons yet unknown.

    The “pre-selection” also seems to include a particular location as well as a particular time.

    The phenomenon seems to be able to materialize and de-materialize at will and even seems to be capable of “transmogrifying” itself into any shape or form (as in the words of John A. Keel).

    However, the phenomenon does not seem to be able to survive in our physical dimension except for a few seconds or a few minutes at a time.

    Some researchers claim that the phenomenon seems to be able to temporarily affect our physical parameters (such as radar, etc.).

    Yet the phenomenon also seems to be incapable of being photographed with clarity, if at all.

    And on many occasions, it seems to me that these “UFOs” only deceptively appear (to the observer) to be utilizing some type of a propulsion system as they seem to take off into the distant sky at an unimaginable rate of speed.

    Finally, by ‘phenomenon’ here, I would like to include both the ‘craft’ as well as the ‘entities’ and their seemingly paraphysical capabilities.

    By the way, here is another of my favorite quotes from Dr. Jacques Vallee, the world’s top-most authority on the UFO phenomenon in my opinion:

    “Contact between human percipients and the UFO phenomenon always occurs under conditions controlled by the latter. Its characteristic feature is a factor of absurdity that leads to a rejection of the story by the upper layers of the target society and an absorption at a deep unconscious level of the symbols conveyed by the encounter.”

    I am the first to admit that all of the above is purely my personal speculation, but it’s the best that I could do, considering this sobering fact that:

    Even though the UFO phenomenon seems to exist, it has not proven itself to be absolute, tangible evidence that we have been visited by actual physical extraterrestrial biological entities in any actual physical spacecraft of any kind. The term “UFOs” is misleading since we still do not know if they are really objects or if they are actually flying as we understand flying to be (as through the use of a propulsion system), as often mentioned by Dr. Jacques Vallee.

    When The Flying Saucers Arrived (UFO Documentary)
    Pacific NorthWeird


    Modern UFO culture began in the Pacific Northwest in 1947! Throughout the summer of that year, thousands of "flying saucers" were spotted all across the United States and around the world - but before this "Summer of the Saucers" truly took off - before Roswell even - three historic UFO events took place in WA and OR which set the stage for our modern conceptions of Unidentified Flying Objects.

    Featuring 'The Maury Island Incident', 'The Kenneth Arnold Sighting', and 'The Portland Invasion' - and a trip to Roswell, NM...

    Last night 11:00 p.m.: Spokane breaks the record for the most single-day snowfall in the month of October with 6.8 inches! This breaks the old record of 5.9" set back in 1957.

    Yes, a friend of mine from Wisconsin has also reported snow and freezing temperatures. I supposed it's "normal" there for this time of the year, but compared to European weather, it's still quite early.

    But that said, that picture cannot have been taken at 23:00, because it's still light outside. (Interesting sign in the foreground there, too: "Make Orwell fiction again." )

    That is very interesting information, NotAPretender, and I was actually aware of that already. But it doesn't explain how come it looks like the middle of a winter's day at 23:00 in the evening.


    Hint: When replying to someone, it might help to quote them, so people reading your post would know that you're talking about something that was posted six pages back...

    I did read that, Gio, thanks. My comment was about the photo not being congruent with the time of measuring.
