Encounters: UFO Experience in Anaheim, CA

The Encounters UFO Experience at the Garden Walk in Anaheim, CA. is a small UFO pop-up museum. The walk through exhibit is filled with ancient alien replicas, alien body displays, a room decorated to simulate the inside of an extraterrestrial spaceship and collectable props from some of America's favorite sci-fi films. A friendly E.T. reproduction greets visitors at the entrance.

I personally loved every aspect of the exhibit. It's clearly apparent that a once paranormal subject matter, believed by some to be fiction, is slowly transitioning in to a bona fide investigation. I also experienced a nostalgic feeling. I was pleasantly taken back to a time when exhibits about sci-fi and the supernatural were explorative and free of mainstream marketing. One of my favorite displays was the authentic audio recordings of UFO sightings.

Encounters UFO Experience is for all ages and tickets are inexpensive. Produced by Intergalactic Brands and open in the Anaheim location for a limited time (till April or May?). To purchase tickets and get schedule information, visit the official website ufoexhibition.com

R'ha: Amazing Sci Fi Short Film

R'ha, is a completely outstanding Sci-fi short film, student project, by German artist and film director, Kaleb Lechowski. Kaleb's tumblr reveals he is only 22 years young and created R'ha during his second semester in college! He wrote, animated and directed the alien adventure masterpiece! that includes villainous robots trying to destroy the existence of biological entities. I watched the teaser and was completely impressed. Not one single human in the whole six minuets and 25 seconds of screen time. It's all aliens and robots!! If this doesn't inspire young creators around the world, I don't know what will. Check out the short below and visit Kaleb's tumblr page for more information.

The Woman On Mars

The Mars rover, Spirit, snapped a photo of this strange object on Mars back in 2008. It became famously known as The Woman On Mars. (What do you think?) It could be just a strange rock formation, it could actually be a living creature, but I strongly think it looks like an ancient alien statue! Something like the Morlocks had in the 1960 Time Machine movie. Of course that was a movie. 

BUT in REAL LIFE, Mars Curiosity discovered something pretty exciting. Here is a quote from JPL : “The mission already has found an ancient riverbed on the Red Planet, and there is every expectation for remarkable discoveries still to come,” JPL officials wrote. !!!

Fire In The Sky: The TRUE Story

I remember seeing the movie Fire In The Sky years ago when it happen to be playing on TV. The movie terrified me and when I found out it was based on a TRUE story, I was even more terrified! Years after I would be afraid to go to sleep at night like a little child, afraid of the dark and of any light that passed my window. I would hope that I wasn’t going to get abducted by cruel aliens that would drag me across the floor and shove jello down my throat. Then after I saw my first UFO, it looked so technically advance that I knew something so amazing could only be created by intelligent beings and what intelligent beings would drag someone across a floor and shove jello down their throat?

I wasn’t afraid of aliens after that, I realized they’ve got to be just like our NASA team only way more ahead of us. Would our astronauts steal an alien, observe it and then throw it back down to it’s planet? Yeah they probably would given the chance, but I have a hard time thinking they would go in to an alien’s dwelling to snatch one up. That would be a lot of trouble and dangerously risky. Specially if it was just some random alien. I am a random earthling and I doubt aliens would come in to my house to kidnap me, but if I were in the middle of the forest and standing under their UFO, the odds of me being abducted, I feel,would be a lot greater. That is why out of all the alien abduction stories I know of, Travis Walton’s story is THE MOST believable and the story he and his fellow loggers tell is very different than the one Hollywood conjured up in Fire In The Sky. (Although that movie will still always be one of my favorite scary alien films.)

Last night I watched Travis Walton and the loggers tell their story in a new episode of Paranormal Witness on SyFy channel. This is a must see episode! To see the men tell their stories and see the looks on their faces that still held confusion, amazement and fear. One logger even began to cry during his interview recalling how terrified he was for years after the experience. (I don’t blame him.)

My favorite part of the story was when Walton describe what he remembers seeing in the spaceship. A room where the walls and ceiling were just dark with little lights like stars. (Maybe he was looking in to Space?) In the middle of the room was a chair with buttons on it. He tried pressing the buttons hoping it would open a door to get out, but they did nothing. Then he pressed on a lever on the chair and it made the stars in the room start to move. A man then entered the room! He was human looking Walter explains, the man’s eyes looked a little strange, but for the most part he looked just like a human. The man said nothing to him as he guided him through what looked like a hanger filled with other UFOs and then handed him over to three other human looking beings. The beings then proceeded to put a plastic mask over his nose and mouth and that was the last he remembers before being dumped back on to Earth.

There is lots more to the story if you watch the The Abduction Paranormal Witness episode, but the stories I’ve been hearing about alien’s looking like humans both excites me and terrifies me at the same time!

Here is a link to Travis Walton’s website if anyone would like to further learn about his experience. http://www.travis-walton.com/

Walton’s abduction occurred in 1975 in the state of Arizona. In conclusion, all of the loggers including Travis Walton, passed lie detector tests with flying colors. They continue to stick to their story because it really happen. The police investigators that investigated Walton’s missing person report while he was floating on a UFO for 4 days, still think it was all a hoax even though they’ve found absolutely no evidence of the sort…so, sounds like the truth to me!

On the Origins of Life and Extraterrestrials

Illustration by Philip Hood from the book Man after Man 

Just a reminder:  Darwin’s theory of evolution is an idea based on his research and discoveries, but he never claimed that humans evolving from apes was a fact. His findings were noted in his book The Origin of Species, but it never addressed the question of where human’s came from, saying only that “Light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history.” 

I’m slowly researching these theories and also thinking about some theories of my own. I want to know how the heck humans got here!

Say we come in to contact with intelligent life forms from another planet. The aliens will be thinking WE are aliens OR even crazier, we might be thinking the aliens are humans!

Single cell prokaryotes were found in the oldest ancient fossil on Earth which dated back to 3.5 billions years ago. The fossil also had biomarkers of photosynthesis which means plants were growing around this time as well.

That makes sense; Earth forms in space with space rocks containing life forming cells. Everything begins to grow with the help of Earth’s Atmosphere and it’s place in the solar system. Rocks with cells to microorganisms to plants all seems like a smooth life evolving transition.

So how did reptiles get here all of a sudden? I can’t picture them forming from rocks, or plants, or bacteria that got really large and happen to look like a crocodile, but you never know…

Then after the reptiles come more species of animals and then out of no where a human? Way weird. We still don’t know how ancient reptiles and humans got here, but it’s pretty common sense that all life is coming from the “Universe”. That’s where the first rocks containing life it’s self came from.

All these thoughts came to me as I was contemplating how anyone would think that Earth is the only planet with life on it. The universe is infinite and of course there is life in it! It made Earth!

The ground we are standing on, Earth itself, is the biggest piece of evidence we have to discovering extraterrestrials!

UFO Sightings By Residents In Blue Springs Missouri

KCTV5 There has been some recent UFO sightings by residents in Blue Springs Missouri. The local news captured a glimpse of the prism-like objects that appear to vibrantly flash different colors of light while staying mostly stagnant in the air. Sort of sounds like seeing Venus through a hot hazy atmosphere, but apparently more than one has appeared at the same time and one resident claims she saw one drop with swift movement. In the past I’ve seen videos on YouTube of these types of unidentified objects. It’s hard to say if it’s extraterrestrial or not. These objects don’t seem to make much movement, but apparently NORAD did not immediately give any comments to the Huffington Post. So, there is a strong chance it’s man made, because our defense doesn’t seem to be too worried about it, or it’s extraterrestrial!!

Jupiter And It's Moons

Jupiter and it’s moons look eerily similar to a solar system. Ganymede, the largest of Jupiter’s moons, is eerily similar looking to Earth! With my own observation, I think Ganymede has a very high potential for being home to some sort of extraterrestrial life. I think UFOs could be visiting Earth from with in our own solar system…
