Alien Ex Votos: Close In Counters In Mexico

Ex votos, also known as retablo, lamina or votive paintings, came to Mexico via Spain by Franciscan monks. They are like illustrated Thank You cards to the Virgin Mary and other Catholic saints thanking the saints for a time in which they helped protect their faithful believers. Ex votos tell real life stories of the people that lived through what they believed to be miracles. Some ex votos are almost like mini illustrated episodes of Paranormal Witness. I particularly enjoy the art of ex votos, but what really caught my attention is how many ex votos tell stories of extraterrestrials and UFO encounters! I've collected a few ex votos that do so and translated them as best I could. Some are hard to read, but close encounters in Mexico seem to be very common. 

"At night I was very thirsty and I went to the kitchen for a glass of water. But, to my horror, I saw that there were martians eating at the table in my kitchen and my dog, who is a good guardian, looked like he was hypnotized or paralyzed. I'm thankful to the Virgin of Zapopan because the extraterrestrials didn't see me and I could escape safe and sound until they left. " 

" On the road to Tepoztlan we encountered a group of green martians who wanted to detain us, but thanks to the Virgin of Gaudalupe, we escaped without them grabbing us. Oct. 16, 1967"

"When we were going to church, Dorotea and I felt like something was following us and we saw that it was some martians. We were very frightened, and we ran to the church and started to pray that nothing would happen to us. Leaving the church we saw that the martians had left and only had taken the birds in the corral of the town. We give thanks to the Virgin of San Juan for protecting us and the other people. "

"Juaquin Ramirez took the animals to drink water at the lake and then suddenly a UFO appeared and took away a cow that belonged to his friend. He gives infante thanks to the son of Atocha for believing him that he wasn't the one that took the cow away or make him pay for the cow."

"When we returned to the city in the morning after the (? hard to read, something the parrots?), my family and I saw a UFO that took all of the in habitants of the city. We gave thanks to the Virgin of Zapopen because the UFO had come and was leaving while we were not there."

Blue Object Near The Sun

A strange blue sphere was caught on NASA cameras by the STEREO HI1 satellite. The object was spotted near the Sun by Facebook user and UFO hunter, Pamela Johnson. ( Here is a link to Pamela's original post https://www.facebook.com/pamela.johnson.77/posts/10209510827346595 Thank you blogdogit.com for hooking us up with that link.)
She posted a link to the pictures on her Facebook page and mentioned that it appeared the Sun was reacting to the object. See the pictures below.





One skeptic suggested it might be a holographic image projected on to the camera screen like a glitch, however it appears the sphere is behind Mercury. Another person said it might be a rogue planet. Rogue planets do appear to be seen as blue in infrared (see image of rogue planet below), but rogue planets usually move and are not known for disappearing so quickly. The sphere stayed still and was only seen for a few days starting on November 15th and now it is gone!



I also found this article https://blogs.nrao.edu/askanastronomer/2012/11/02/bright-object-near-the-sun/ where a photographer was asking an astronomer what the object that appeared in his photographs near the Sun could be. The astronomer answers that the object might not be astronomical...The mystery continues.

*My metaphysically based observation would suggest it was a rogue alien planet gathering energy from the Sun before disappearing through a Space portal. Sounds perfectly normal, right? ;-) *

Contact In The Desert

Beginning August ninth through the eleventh, Contact In The Dessert is a three day weekend of exploration into ancient aliens, human origins, UFO and extraterritorial sightings. This event will be held at the Joshua Tree Retreat Center in Joshua Tree, California. Steven Greer and Travis Walton are among the list of speakers.

As much as I would love to attend Contact In The Dessert and report it all back to you, tickets start at $200.00 a person! Yikes. I know it cost money to put on an event and to pay all the speakers that take time to travel and come speak, but $200 a person is out of my budget for UFO researching. I do all of my research voluntarily and for the desire of learning what has yet to be discovered.

However, I did enter the ticket sweepstakes on Facebook and hope I win! If you are interested in trying your luck, click HERE to enter. Or visit contactinthedesert.net to order your early bird tickets. Leave a comment if you are going!

UFO and Alien Hoaxes: Tips on How to Debunk a Hoax

One thing that does not help in the research of UFOs and extraterrestrials is hoaxes.  They cloud serious research with time being wasted on debunking them and in the end crush our hopes.

I suppose the only good thing that a hoax can do is provide it's audience with some form of entertainment.

For example, the famous Alien Autopsy. Yep, sorry to break the news, but it wasn't real. As much as I wish it would have been, the man that released the film, Ray Santilli, finally admitted it was a hoax in 2006. That's about ten years after it's release to television networks in the 1990's where it played in 32 countries.

It's a pretty good film. I've seen it before. I always watch it imagining it to be real and then it grosses me out, but then I wonder; "If Santilli would have never come forward admitting the film to be fake, would people still be thinking it's real?"

Further information revealed that Santilli was in procession of some modern quality photographs taken during the filming of the autopsy. He never handed them over to film experts because the photograph's clear quality revealed that the alien's body was made out of latex. So, maybe eventually the film would of been debunked had Santilli never said anything or maybe he was in danger of people from behind the scenes coming forward and admitting it to be fake. Watch the autopsy below and pretend it came to you with no explanation. Would you think it was real? Or can you spot mistakes in accuracy?

As I was searching for the Alien Autopsy footage to embed in to this post, I noticed that every version that had been uploaded to YouTube does not mention that it's fake or a re-enactment. Could there be people out there that still don't know? This is the kind of stuff that needs to be straightened out in order for people to get serious about researching UFOs and extraterrestrials.

Here is a list of tips that might help in debunking a hoax before the hoax gets out of hand.

• What or who is the source of the content?-  (example) Did it come from NASA or USAF? If so, then it might have a good deal of credibility. Did it come from someone with some strange sic-fi sounding screen name? If so, then there is a good chance it's probably fake...

• What is the back story or does it even have a story?- Usually a true story is very simple and straight forward. Not too much information or detail and not too less. Most of the time hoaxes have really elaborate backstories to go with their content because they are trying to sell it to the audience as being "real". Other times a hoax will have no explanation, no backstory which also could be a red flag. Someone doesn't want to say too much to ruin the illusion. 

• Is it accurate- This might be kind of a tricky thing to figure out. Sometimes debunkers have to consult video or photograph experts or experts in the respective medical and science fields, but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to use your common sense. If something looks like a car's hubcap flying through the air, it probably is. 

• Research! The most important key to knowing the truth. Go ahead and google an unexplained photograph, video or story and add "debunked" on the end of your search. There is probably a whole forum of people who have already researched the content and found the truth. 

Don't be embarrassed if you find out something you thought was real turns out to be fake. It happens to us all. Also, don't be embarrassed if something you thought was fake, turns out to be REAL!

For fun, I have gathered together my favorite hoaxes because of their craftsmanship. I even added my own fake UFO photography to the mix. Although, the first time I published my fake UFO photographs, I made sure to let people know that they were fake. Enjoy:

Billy Meier photograph from 1975. His photos have 

never been officially debunked. However, I know it is

possible to create a fake UFO picture without using  

photoshop. I created the ones below with this technique.

Ancient Aliens and The Pyramids

The ancient Egyptian culture is so mysterious. Thousands of years later, their mysteries continue to live on.

How exactly did they create the gigantic pyramids that stand towering over modern buildings in Cairo today?

Look at them! They are HUGE!


Here is an excerpt from sacredsites.com just to get an idea of how massive they are:

"The Great Pyramid was originally 481 feet, five inches tall (146.7 meters) and measured 755 feet (230 meters) along its sides. Covering an area of 13 acres, or 53,000 square meters, it is large enough to contain the European cathedrals of Florence, Milan, St. Peters, Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's. Constructed from approximately 2.5 million limestone blocks weighing on average 2.6 tons each, its total mass is more than 6.3 million tons (representing more building material than is to be found in all the churches and cathedrals built in England since the time of Christ). "

No signs of machinery or high tech tools have been unearthed during archeology digs to suggest technological aid in the construction of the pyramids and no signs of "alien" technology either. It might look as though the ancient Egyptians were just really dedicated hard workers.
Science Daily posted an article in 2008 about how the pyramids were built. Professor of Classics and ancient Mediterranean studies at Penn State, Donald Redford, explained that the process for cutting the pyramid blocks is still being studied, but further studies have discovered that the building process was good ol' down to Earth labor. Copper chisels, dolerite pounders, boats, wooden pegs, ropes, ramps and oil to slide the blocks in to place, and 20,000 to 30,000 people were all used in the making of the massive structures. Redford knows this was possible because during a dig near pyramids, he and 20 of his workers pulled a two-and-a-half ton granite block from the ground without alien magic.

So, it looks as though the question of how the Pyramids were built has been answered, but there are still more questions...

How did the Egyptians move sarcophagi and treasures in to the dark, dense, narrow walk-ways and rooms of the pyramids? Torches would burn-out due to lack of oxygen.

And why does this wall decoration inside the Dendera Temple complex look exactly like a Cathode ray?




And lastly, where did the ancient Egyptians' belief in their solar religion originate from? The pyramid's shape was said to possibly symbolize the sun's rays. Or maybe it was to symbolize something more on the lines of this...

Riddle of the Skies: Space Worm!

Riddle of the Skies is a one hour and thirty six minuet documentary available to stream on Hulu's list of free content.
The movie has compiled interviews with pilots, astronauts and scientist all discussing their takes on UFO phenomena.
Some of the stories in this documentary I have heard of before, but there was one story that was new to me...
The Space Worm!! That's right, astronaut of thirty years, Story Musgrave calls it his "eel". Musgrave has been on six missions in space and twice he has seen the worm. He mentions he is not sure how big it was because in space it can be difficult to tell how far away an object is.

Watch the video below to see the wiggly worm! There is actual footage of it and whatever it is, it definitely looks like a biological life form.

If NASA says they are continuing their search for some type of other life in the universe, than why are such clearly interesting subjects like this space worm being over looked? Are ground breaking discoveries in space really being hidden from the public? Or maybe NASA has not yet discovered a non dangerous way to further examine unknown creatures and mysterious happenings in the final frontier.
I can imagine how extremely risky it would be to get close to an unknown specimen in outer space. Who knows if it's harmless or if it's just a gigantic E. coli. Hopefully in the near future NASA can send out more robots to get closer to space worms and objects of extreme interest.

But in conclusion, ::waving:: "Hello! totally legit evidence of life in space, over here!"

Huff Post Top 10 UFO And Unexplained Phenomena of 2012

Huffington Post has posted their top 10 UFO and unexplained phenomena stories of 2012.  There were indeed some interesting and very unexplained moments in phenomena history this year. I am excited to see how some of these unexplained stories unravel in the coming year, like the dinos in Congo and the Baltic see UFO. Kudos to the National Atomic Testing Museum of Las Vegas, coming in at number 6, for exhibiting UFO and alien artifacts! With the coming of 2013 and the end of a World Age, according to the Mayan calendar, I think the world is ready for more alien and UFO museum exhibits. What do you think?
