Julian Assange/Raoul Wallenberg

For some reason when I was reading the account of the Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, the name Raoul Wallenberg kept intruding on my consciousness.  Apart from the link with Sweden occasioned by the court case, I couldn't think of a reason why I would associate Assange with Wallenberg, but when I looked at the pictures of the two people, I could see a distinct similarity.

I have been convinced of reincarnation as a possibility for some time, and websites like return of the revolutionaries are intriguing., particularly when someone who resembles an earlier person has memories of a previous life.

I don't claim any psychic powers to deduce whether reincarnation is a fact, but it worries me that Wallenberg was a person who fought for the freedom of people who were being oppressed by the Nazis, and was disappeared, possibly by the Russians, although they have always denied this.

Assange is fighting for freedom of information.  I hope he is well protected from being disappeared, especially in light of the extremely violent comments made by various American politicians calling for his assassination.

A strange thing...

I promised my mother I would make lunch today.  We'd decided not to have a traditional roast dinner, as I don't much like them and I'm not good at cooking them.  When I went down to the kitchen to cook, my mother was making the Christmas cake, and so I couldn't prepare lunch in the little galley kitchen.  I sat at the kitchen table in the adjoining breakfast room, to peel the potatoes and chop onions.

We were chatting away, when one of the plastic storage jars in the cupboard behind me shot out of the cupboard like a bullet from a gun and hit the floor 12 feet away, in the galley kitchen.  I was so stunned I just sat there for a moment. 

I have tried to find a logical and scientific explanation, but have so far failed.  The contents of the storage jar were not under pressure, it was about a tablespoon of plain flour.  In any case, the lid didn't come off, it was still sealed.

My mother does live on a busy road which gets a lot of traffic, including lorries and buses, but I don't see how this could have pushed the jar out of the cupboard.  If the rattling from the road had dislodged the jar, I feel sure it would have just fallen off, not shot across the room.  Other things in the cupboard, including some teetering stacks of tins and packets were not dislodged.

It's certainly a bit odd. 

Alien ship on the Moon?

This story has been attracting some attention, and it's quite intriguing. While the testimony seems completely unbelievable, there is no doubt that there is something odd showing up on images which come from Apollo 15.  The images can be independently verified, which is what makes it interesting.

It appears that high-resolution images show a large object on the surface of the moon which does not look natural or man-made. Whether, as the person quoted in the article has said, there were covert trips to the moon, and whether the videos provided are real or faked, I have no idea.

I find the idea of covert trips to the moon problematical. Surely the thousands of astronomers and radio hams around the world are unlikely to have missed an American/Soviet spacecraft flying to the moon and back?

For some reason that I do not understand, the US seems to have an obsession with conspiracy theories and secret government. Maybe they are right and we aren't being told important things, but I find it hard to believe the claims that people like David Wilcock make, that the government is in possession of technology that would make the use of fossil fuels obsolete etc.

Apparently sane people say insane things all the time... but conversely, apparently insane people - like David Icke for example - don't always get things wrong.

Some of the people on the comments for this site clim that some other images disprove the photographs, but it seems that those were not so detailed because of the resolution. It's intriguing certainly.

Day before Disclosure

This film, by Norwegian film maker Terje Toftenes, is now free to watch here. There isn't a lot that's new, but it is quite nicely done, and there are some interesting snaps etc.

I have always been fascinated by the possibility that we have been visited. I don't like the current skepticism which seems to regard even considering this possibility as being hopelessly deluded. I believe that - as in most things - there is a spectrum which ranges from people who are mistaken in what they have seen or believe, through people who have seen something which can't be explained, to people who really are deluded or who are using the interest in Ufology for their own gain.

Unfortunately, the progress in special effects and computer assisted design mean that it becomes ever more difficult to assess whether films are real and accurate depictions of what they purportedly show, or fakes. That there are fakes is undeniable... that there is a possibility that some of them are not fakes is what is interesting.

Just to add to the confusion, I do believe that this subject is not treated scientifically by government or the scientific community. If people dismiss reports, refuse to record them, or suppress them, it is impossible to make a scientific assessment of the evidence. It seems inexplicable to me that some of the more famous cases do not appear in the official record because, even if they turn out to be attributed to weather balloons, satellites, delusion, the fact that the have been reported should lead to a record being created, and often hasn't, even when people involved have reported things which - if true - would be matters of national or even global security.

Problematica: Starchild

Interesting video about the results of testing of the so-called "starchild" skull. I think it is clear from the composition of the audience that this is not an academic, scientific rendering of the facts around the starchild skull. It is interesting however to wonder what the response will be if the claims made in the video are borne out by reputable scientific investigation of the artefact.

Spheres

I have read a number of articles about mystery spheres - everything from enormous stone spheres in Croatia to small spheres in Peru.

This is where I am going to collect links to anything I stumble over on the internet about spheres.

This story is about spheres in South Africa.
