Nagas in the News: Bownessie Lake Monster


Tourists detail a petrifying encounter with a rippling serpent known by local residents in England as Bownessie. This is believed to be the eighth sighting in the past last five years of a long humpbacked creature (Tom Pickles).

Kayakers snap photo of England’s new "Loch Ness Monster"
Brett Michael Dykes (The Upshot, Feb. 18, 2011)
BOWNESS-ON-WINDERMERE, England - Nothing puts a damper on a serene afternoon's kayaking like the sight of a primeval sea monster [Buddhist naga or reptilian, snake, sea serpent]. That was the rude lesson for Tom Pickles and Sarah Harrington, who'd taken their watercraft out on the foggy waters of Lake Windermere, only to encounter what appeared to be "an enormous snake" swimming by.

"It was petrifying and we paddled back to the shore straight away. At first I thought it was a dog and then saw it was much bigger and moving really quickly at about 10 mph," the 24-year-old Pickles told The Telegraph. "Each hump was moving in a rippling motion and it was swimming fast. Its skin was like a seal's but its shape was completely abnormal -- it's not like any animal I've ever seen before." More>>

"Ethics for the new Millennium" at the D.D. Kosambi Festival of Ideas in Panaji, Goa, India, Feb. 7, 2011
BOMBAY, India (Feb. 20, 2011) - Emerging from their last lecture on Thursday, Shamal Warlikar and her friends couldn’t stop talking about their appointment on Friday.

They are among a group of 60 students from the Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies who will get an opportunity to hear Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama speak at Mumbai University’s Fort campus on Friday and possibly ask him some questions as well.

“We’re very excited, it’s the first time we will get to hear someone of that stature speak,” said Warlikar, a first year student of Masters of management studies. “We plan to ask him some questions on how we can bring spirituality into management education and how India’s problems can be approached from the bottom of the pyramid. We thought it would be better to ask philosophical instead of political questions.” More>>

Shadow G: Chemtrails now visible from space


Pyramid of light to appear in the west on Feb. 21, 2011 (Sky Tonight: Zodiacal light)


"Clouds" over Olympic Valley, California in August of 2010 (Matt Saal)... or chemtrails?

Clouds, jet condensation, or Chemtrails?
(Berthoud Recorder) Explanation: What’s happened to these clouds? Normal cloud bottoms are flat because moist warm air that rises and cools will condense into water droplets at a very specific temperature, which usually corresponds to a very specific height. After water droplets form that air becomes an opaque cloud. Under some conditions, however, cloud pockets can develop that contain large droplets of water or ice that fall into clear air as they evaporate. Such pockets may occur in turbulent air near a thunderstorm, being seen near the top of an anvil cloud, for example. Resulting mammatus clouds can appear especially dramatic if sunlit from the side. These mammatus clouds were photographed last August [2010] over Olympic Valley, California.


Persistent "contrails" made of chemicals visible from space (Paolo Nespoli/NASA/ESA)

Who and Why?
Wisdom Quarterly (COMMENTARY)
This picture, innocently taken by an astronaut who assumes that what he is photographing are contrails (momentary condensation behind high flying aircraft), paints a hazy picture.

What is clear is that the government, the Pentagon, and the Shadow Government, which actually holds the power and drains the budget, is creating a defense bubble.

But it is "defending" against helpful extraterrestrial intelligences while acting in league with very inimical ones on this planet and in deep underground military bases. (This is where the world's preserved mythologies come in terms of making sense what has always been myth).

For an explanation of who these negative forces that have made the US a superpower at the expense of citizens and the world, see Phil Schnieder, Alex Collier, and many others like Richard Hoagland, Steven Greer, Alex Jones, and Sean David Morton to name just a few.

"Real Happiness" (Sharon Salzberg)

The Power of Meditation: A 28-day Program
Sharon Salzberg’s new book, Real Happiness, shows us that meditation practice is far simpler, more fun, less esoteric, and much more relevant to the wide-ranging situations in everyday life than we usually imagine. Rather than an ornate and arcane set of instructions, Buddhist meditation consists of practical tools to help deepen concentration, mindfulness, loving-kindness, and compassion. We rely on these qualities when things change even though we would much prefer stability, when we feel out of control of events, and above all when we want a quality of happiness that is not so fragile, so dependent on shifting conditions. This book guides us through the basics of... More>> AUDIO: Basic Meditation Intro.

Why do we Americans love war? (video)


And God said, "I will punish your descendants and splatter your faces with the [feces] from your festival sacrifices, and I will throw you on the manure pile" (Malachi 2:3).

Lately I have been disappointed with the failure of Christianity (Christians and Jews) to get us out of wars. In fact, it seems we are the ones starting most of the conflicts. And the excuses we use, oi vey!

Why did our government invade Afghanistan? Fundamentalist Christian-payback for housing "enemy combatants" living in caves. Why did the US government invade Iraq? Illegal preemptive strike based on a phony allegation that they were storing up "weapons of mass destruction," which in fact we use and openly sell. So why did we invade them?

To expend our munitions to profitably have to manufacture new and more expensive ones. After all, we have to justify past expenditures even if no one is challenging the world's sole superpower. Or why else would taxpayers stand for the Pentagon's secret budgets on top of their outrageous public allocations? Arms dealing is our most profitable industry by far. Of course it isn't Jews themselves who are the problem, regardless of what faithful Christians like Mel Gibson says.

But it does seem to be Israeli nationalists, most of whom are Jewish, rooting from the sidelines and telling us whom to attack. Our entire government is Christian but, of course, not "real" Christians. Real Christians don't make war -- unless they're reading the Old Testament. Is anyone allowed to question the Book of Judges? And did Malachi really quote God as saying He would wipe feces on the faces of Jews for failing to do as they were commanded?

It's almost a joke if so many people weren't being killed by the misuse of the Bible and nonexistent biblical phrases: "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition"? Moreover, is someone really going to tell me what I can do with my body, because of course it's not my body but God's?

I do not blame Rabbi Jesus (St. Issa) or even Moses (mythical Manu, the "Law Giver," in Vedic Brahmanism). These acts of war, conquest, and economic domination are the acts of "bad" folks -- that is, those overcome by greed, hate, or delusion -- in our government, cheered on by scurrilous American and Israeli "patriots." Count me out.

Obama to make UFO announcement


Obama to make UFO announcement in coming weeks
Michael Cohen (AllNewsWeb.com, Dec. 2010)
All News Web has received information from government insiders close to the US President that Barack Obama has been given the go ahead to make an important "off the cuff" announcement regarding UFO visits and US contact with aliens.

  • That he has the "go ahead" is confirmed by Dr. Steven Greer; why he will not is also explained. It is not the public government hiding the information but rather the hidden government over which the White House has no authority over the "shadowy government" Sen. Inouye outed in a public hearing.
Allegedly DARPA has given this move the green light. The comments by the president will be made within the next month. Our sources claim this will not be outright admittance of UFO visits and contact with aliens; however, the comments will come as close to admittance as any president has to date and will be made in the context of a speech on an entirely different matter.

From what we understand the president will concede that there is "some evidence" to suggest aliens might have attempted to contact earthlings. All of this is said to be part of a warm up program leading to eventual outright admittance [disclosure] of knowledge of UFO and alien visitation by major world governments within three years. Source

Disclosure?
Wisdom Quarterly (COMMENTARY)
This announcement is nothing we did not already know. Most of us were simply in denial. And those who called reporters and whistle blowers the "lunatic fringe," crazy, or worse now claim they knew all along. Nevertheless, other issues -- rebirth, chemtrails, autism-inducing vaccinations, psychic abilities -- are still called "nonsense." We are only as openminded as suits us. We can only accept a consensus reality when our the givers give us permission. What is our herd mentality gain us, safety at the expense of freedom? What was the use of whistle blowers risking everything?


Spirituality and Religion are not mutually exclusive
A few weeks ago, I wrote a column exploring the lack of participation of men in American religion. Much to my surprise, I received two kinds of comments again and again about the article. The first category of commentator was pleased by the news that men were less religious [since] religion is foolishness, and men were to be praised for abandoning it in such numbers. But a second category of responses is deeply intriguing. Those suggested that I had confused spirituality and religion.

Baby Monks (Novices) in Buddhism

Wisdom Quarterly (Wikipedia/Encyclopedia edit)

Little Monastics in Buddhism
A male samanera or female samaneri -- literally a "little recluse" (samana, shramana, shaman, a renunciate or wandering ascetic) -- is a Buddhist novice monk or nun in training and on probation.

Tibetan Buddhist boys

The recluse ascetics (shramanas) are distinct from the brahmin priests (brahmanas), who were the dominant spiritual caste in India. The history of recluses goes as far back in time as humanity does. But the Buddha revolutionized their significance by organizing one group of them.

There have always been spiritual recluses, hermits, wanderers, shamans, and independent practitioners by nature (guided by the impulse of past lives to continue their spiritual quest free of institutional constraints).

At the time of the Buddha, recluses already existed. In fact, Siddhartha was inspired by the sight of one to again take up this kind of life. Why was he so moved?

The Jatakas (Buddhist Birth Stories) explain: They recount many previous lives of the Bodhisatta striving as a recluse and even as a brahmin well versed in the Vedas. The Jains were another organized contemporary shramanic school, the only other one to survive alongside Buddhism.

But the success of these two schools inspired Hindu yogis and sannyasis (followers of Shiva, Shavites, and Vishnu, Vaishnavites and even Mystic Muslim Sufi fakirs) to wander as well. It led to a Sannyasi Rebellion. Wandering was in fact a key component of early Buddhism, which led to detachment, contentment, and open mindedness.

Although fully ordained monastics were encouraged to meditate, wander freely, reside in the forest, fashion robes from discarded cloth, and live on alms gathered in one of only five possessions permitted by the rules of monastic discipline (Vinaya) in the Sangha, trainees were closely affiliated with a preceptor for their training first.

Ten precept nuns (dasa-matas) in Burma, Shwedagon Pagoda, Rangoon

Generally, one must be at least seven years old to become a novice or be over 60, in which case one entering will remain a novice. Otherwise, once one reaches the age of 20, it is customary to take the higher ordination (upasampada) and become a fully ordained bhikkhu (monk) or bhikkhuni (nun). One goes from ten precepts to reciting the patimokkha (Sanskrit, prati-moksha, the way to personal liberation) or list of 227 plus disciplinary rules.

Transsiberian rail: Russia to Tibet

John Garnaut (smh.com.au, Feb. 19, 2011)
Gandan Monastery in Ulan Bator, Mongolia where an overwhelming amount of the country's population is Tibetan Buddhist yet few can read the scriptures (AFP).

A new start for a land where Buddha meets Louis Vuitton
ULAN BATOR, Mongolia - Weathered old folk in fur hats and goatskin gowns and young couples wearing designer sunglasses are squeezing into Gandan Monastery to lay money at the feet of a small and ornate statue of the Buddha. The room has the yak butter smell of monasteries in Lhasa, Tibet. But the scene is otherwise more natural, lively, and shambolic.


Going transsiberian by private train from Buddhist Beijing through Mongolia to Moscow.

Portly old monks in maroon robes are counting bundles of money, and child trainees [samaneras] are stifling yawns. They've been sitting and chanting all day and into the night for most of the two-week celebration for Mongolia's lunar new year.

I ask my friend what they are chanting about as he stops my coat from catching fire on the coal stove. ''I don't really know,'' he says. ''Actually, nobody does. [Because] it's all in Tibetan -- we just have to trust them.''

Ninety-eight per cent of the country's 2.7 million people count themselves as Tibetan Buddhists, thanks to ties that go back centuries. But only a few hundred trained monks can read the scriptures of their [Vajrayana] faith. My friend, a Mongolian neighbor from Beijing, has brought me here to pray for good health and fortune in between his meetings about national politics and personal uranium exploration. More>>

Theta wave easy meditation (binaural video)



(Jiloun3) Going deeper into relaxation, enter the elusive and mysterious Theta brainwave state where activity slows almost to the point of sleep but not quite. Theta is the state where magic happens in the crucible of neurological activity. Theta brings forward heightened receptivity, flashes of dreamlike imagery, inspiration, and long-forgotten memories. Theta can bring deep states of meditation and a sensation of "floating." Because it is an expansive state, Theta may take the mind beyond the boundaries of the body.

Theta rests directly on the threshold of the subconscious. In biofeedback, it is most commonly associated with the deepest levels of meditation. Theta also plays an important part in behavior modification programs and has been used in the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. Theta is an ideal state for super-learning, reprogramming the mind, dream recall, and self-hypnosis.

Theta waves range between 4-7 Hz. The Theta state is one of the more elusive and extraordinary realms to be explored. It is also known as the twilight state, normally experience only fleetingly as one rises out of the depths of Delta on waking or drifting off to sleep. In Theta one is in a waking dream, as vivid imagery flashes before the mind's eye and it is receptive to information beyond normal conscious awareness.

Theta has also been identified as the gateway to memory (mindfulness). Theta meditation increases creativity, enhances learning, reduces stress, and awakens intuition and other extrasensory perception skills. To enter the Theta state it may be helpful to try Deep Meditation, Sacred Ground, Guided Meditation, Deep Learning, or Deep Insight.

"Even the Rain" - High price of water (film)

(NYmag.com) In "Even the Rain," Gael García Bernal plays a filmmaker making a movie in Bolivia about Christopher Columbus's colonization of the New World (think of something in the spirit of Werner Herzog's Aguirre: The Wrath of God). He's in Bolivia because, "You can negotiate things here. Hotels, transports, catering." So Bernal's character is making a movie about exploitation, by doing some exploiting of his own -- an irony that becomes increasingly apparent as the indigenous population in the village where he's filming begin to revolt against the government for raising the price of water.

Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain... WISCONSIN!




MADISON, Wisconsin - Libya, Tunisia, parts unknown, the protests continue! ...The product of struggle, organization, mass protests, and sometimes jail and beatings. I believed then, and I still believe now, that organized labor is the middle class's best defense against an organized corporate oligarchy that has waged a one-sided 30-year long class war.

That's why I'm not surprised that the first stirrings of American resistance to the corporate oligarchy since Wall Street greed and malfeasance brought the American and world economy to its knees in 2008 are coming from the organized labor, centered today in the capital of Wisconsin, a state with one of the longest progressive traditions in America.

And it's why I'm not surprised that some of the first acts of newly minted right-wing Republican governors [like Gov. Walker who is eager to call out the National Guard to start shooting people] are to try to destroy organized labor. More>>

Endless Free Energy (video)

Wisdom Quarterly (REVELATION)
This machine invented by Mr. Reidar Finsrud demonstrates the principle of perpetual motion. It is on view behind glass to prevent visitors from touching it. A steel ball (2.7" diameter, 20 lbs) is rolling on a horizontal aluminum track, 25" in diameter.*

The good news is that free energy exists! There is perpetual motion, cold fusion/fission, endless energy from time-space contractions, solar, and sources beyond our comprehension outside of the information loop.

As soon as we become linked in, it is apparently not difficult to understand. Many have stumbled upon various mechanisms and natural laws (at odds with respectable theories that insist on limits resulting from impeccable logic founded on false assumptions).

But when patents are applied for, that greed leads to trouble: The government, the shadow government, the Pentagon, and the military-industrial complex (that has at least three other arms: espionage, entertainment, and pharmaceutical) will simply not stand for anything that cuts into its profit source. Profit depends on the slow and regular release of finite fuels.

Although free energy is in secret use for the powering of some secret projects (extraterrestrial and subterranean bases and "weird science freakin' magic" machines too extraordinary to believe), they can neither be admitted to or put into popular use without the loss of trillions of dollars in potential profit from the current system. So enjoy the old world before it evaporates, or invest in highly profitable non-green technology before the information leaks without a patent.

  • *Three pendulums, about 45 inches long with tunable weights at the lower end, control three horse-shoe magnets the steel ball has to pass along the track. Embedded in the track is a (mechanical) controlling/timing mechanism. It looks like a steel wire bent into a triangular track, 5 inches long. The ball rolls over it and pushes the wire down through a slot in the track. This affects one of the pendulums and regulates its swinging motion. The steel ball has not stopped revolving for months (Alexioco).

But it Violates the Laws of my Physics!
Does a working "perpetual motion" machine violates the conservation of energy? In point of fact, more energy is not coming out than is going in. The machine is simply demonstrating greater efficiency by tapping free unseen energy that is all around it -- in this case momentum from planetary movement, magnets, pendulums, spring tension... Those wedded or invested in a more rudimentary vision of physics cannot see what is before their eyes because it is beyond their theoretical mental models of how the universe operates. Good thing the universe is not bound by our theories describing it.

The Search for ET Intelligent Technology
"We have confirmation... one of the senior most people in the SETI project, which is the Carl Sagan Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence effort, has confirmed to the Disclosure Project, this is one of the senior most people, that they have received multiple extraterrestrial signals... but that now they are getting external human, probably NRO (National Reconnaissance Office) or NSA jamming of those signals, and they are getting very frustrated. The question is why hasn't the SETI project, funded by Paul Allen, who's the co-founder of Microsoft, come forward with this information?" (Dr. Stephen M. Greer). The secret to contact, to bringing (honing) them in is a simple meditation, coherent intention, and properly intoned Sanskrit mantras as taught to the ancient Vedic seers (rishis). This made them more powerful and more important than the royals of the day.

How?
If you are a scientist and all of this seems impossible, ponder these two cases. Do you know how Nikola Tesla (the greatest electrical engineer and inventor we know of) knew what he knew? He was asked, and he was glad to explain. No one apparently paid any attention. The information was downloaded to his consciousness, according to him, by extraterrestrials within our solar system. In a sense, he "channeled" it "psychically" it whole cloth (not piecemeal). Many sources mention this.

Tesla would visualize an invention in his mind with extreme precision, including all dimensions, before moving to the construction stage, a technique sometimes known as picture thinking. He typically did not make drawings by hand, instead just conceiving all ideas with his mind (Tesla: Man Out of Time, Margaret Cheney).

This is interesting because America's most famous psychic, Edgar Cayce, the "Sleeping Prophet," was also finally asked how he was able to diagnose illness and people's personal histories in a trance state. He mentioned the Akashic Records (akasha is a Vedic Sanskrit and Buddhist term for "space"), non-localized consciousness able to travel in a person's body from any distance, and healers working through him. He himself was not much involved other than serving as a willing conduit for the process. Perhaps these truths are harder to swallow than the fact that we currently have operating on this planet such free energy machines as described here. And they're being kept secret. Why? Power mostly, and personal fortunes of course.

Like Einstein, neither individual had a top-notch education. That is, neither was stuffed full of theories and limits about what is and is not possible. We all know we are too smart for our own good when all we have are letters, books, and words for having traded our innate genius for academic reputation and "respectability."

  • Team finds way to snatch free energy out of the air A group of chemists from the Univ. of Campinas in Brazil presented research at the 240th Nat'l Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston claiming they figured out how electricity is formed and released in the atmosphere. Based on Nikola Tesla's discoveries, the team said it imagines a device could be developed for extracting electrical charges from the atmosphere and using it for electricity.

Leaf, Prius stomp Volt on "greenest car" list

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The Chevrolet Volt didn't rank as one of the top-ten "greenest" cars in America, coming at No. 12, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy's annual list. The fully electric Nissan Leaf ranked second among all 2011 model year cars on the same list. First place went to the compressed natural gas powered Honda Civic GX.

The good news is that free energy exists! There is perpetual motion, cold fusion/fission, energy from time-space contractions, solar, and sources beyond our comprehension.

Sex studies: What Women Want (video)

Seven, UCLA & Chien Chi Liu, UC Berkeley (Wisdom Quarterly)

VIDEO: The Only Honest College Ad (collegehumor.com)

"Women have many faults -- many, many faults -- whereas we men have only two: everything we say and everything we do."

What men want may be no clearer to women than what women want. But that's not likely to change anytime soon. At least not until more straight women take an interest in graduate school and research. (Until then, here's a hint: Read our lips; we men are remarkably literal, so reading between the lines often makes it easier to miss the lines themselves).

Any subordinated social class -- whether discriminated against based on gender or skin color, age or wealth, beauty or personality, education or manners -- will be very aware of implicit information that a dominant group is safe being blind to. It's not "women's intuition" so much as it is a learned ability: Gays, who are not women, have stronger "intuition" because they are more intensely discriminated against.

"What women want" generates a great deal of scientific interest. Why? There is a surplus of nerdy men in graduate programs who haven't got a clue. Of course, women now surpass men throughout academia, but it may still be a few years before the social research reaches parity.
Women more attracted to men whose feelings are unclear
Deborah Huso (Aolhealth.com, Feb. 8, 2011)
"Play hard to get" and "less is more" may actually be the best pieces of advice when it comes to relationships between men and women. New findings, published in Psychological Science, reveal that women are more attracted to men when they have no idea what their feelings are.

VIDEO: "March of Shame"

Dr. Erin R. Whitchurch and Timothy D. Wilson of the University of Virgina and Daniel T. Gilbert of Harvard University examined the reaction of 47 female UVA undergraduates. The subjects believed they were involved in an experiment to assess whether Facebook could work as an online dating site.

Researchers told the women that male students from two other universities viewed their profiles and rated them along with 15 to 20 other female profiles. The researchers also presented them with four male Facebook profiles -- profiles the women believed to be real but were actually fictitious.

The first group of women was told the four men gave them a high rating. The second group was told the four men rated them "average." A third group was shown profiles of four men but were not told which ones rated them high or average.

Not surprisingly, women were more attracted to the men who gave them high ratings compared to the men who rated them average. But it was the men whose ratings they didn't know that the women found most attractive. More>>

How Extraterrestrials Communicate (video)

Wisdom Quarterly

In a post yesterday, an unidentified spacecraft appeared over Toronto. It hovered two hours in an inexplicable display of geometric shape and color changes presumably accompanied by tones (the woo customarily associated with flying saucers).

It is often asked, "If there are intelligent extraterrestrials, why don't they just come down and announce themselves?" Was this what was happening?

Stewart Swerdlow points out that in his US-backed government research, he discovered that extraterrestrials do not use language per se to communicate. They use this "hyperspace" triad:

  1. color (frequency)
  2. tone (sound)
  3. archetype (geometric shape emanating from the mind-pattern and DNA)

A massive object appeared over a major western city and communicated as loudly and clearly as it could. This was not in the middle of the night in a rural area.

It was, instead, over a densely populated region during with morning traffic when it was still dark enough to make a spectacle. Such behavior has often been described as "dancing, " which of course is misleading. Many sense that such craft are attempting to communicate.


Part II: Stewart Swerdlow "Hyperspace 101"

The Buddha called referred to such extraterrestrial life forms as devas, which literally means "shining ones." They were prevalent in ancient India, Sumeria, and Egypt. And they figure in many Buddhist tales of much older times, for example in the Jataka Tales.

Their existence is dealt with in much more detail in the Vedas, for example in the Vimana Shastra, vi-man referring to a craft able to travel through the measureless sky. The Buddha further said that we are able to develop ourselves through the cultivation of virtue, meditation (mental-collectedness, concentration, and absorption), and ultimately wisdom (higher knowledges, abhijna, and liberating-insight) to master our minds and bodies visiting other worlds and understanding this world fully.

Moreover, he discouraged "worship" and supplication of these marvellous and advanced devas, instead encouraging that we cultivate the karma to be reborn as they are. The karma that leads to rebirth in the human world is the Five Precepts. Virtue beyond that (i.e., courses of action that fall within the vast categories of nongreed, nonhatred, and nondelusion), when it ripens, leads to rebirth in more welcome and exalted states here and beyond.

These are Buddhist teachings few acknowledge in our modern agnostic/atheistic materialism. For those who have always said, "I'll believe it when I see it," the simple message is this: Personal virtue is the doorway that leads to all that we find pleasant and welcome. And since karma is of three kinds -- physical, verbal, mental -- even holding wholesome thoughts is a wonderful thing.

The Origin of the Earth's Moon

Wisdom Quarterly (Zecharia Sitchin)

The ancient astronauts explained the origin of our Moon, which is not a natural satellite but put in place without rotating at exactly the correct distance to protect the planet, to fully eclipse the sun, to provide tides, measure out the calendar, and much more. Zecharia Sitchin (sitchin.com) spent a lifetime deciphering and popularizing ancient texts and tablets from cultures around the world, particularly a prehistorical wealth of Sumerian information. The truth about life on the Moon as well as the hidden archeological evidence for it may be found at various sites brought out by CSETI's Dr. Steven Greer (disclosureproject.org), Richard Hoagland (enterprisemission.com), and others, particularly Stewart Swerdlow (expansions.com, Bielek, 2012, Philadelphia-experiment).

It can fulfill need that reality does not. Gaming need not be escapist, she demonstrates. Sometimes it can be quite "returnist."

Air Force chases UFO into Ocean (video)


Unless this footage is an elaborate hoax, it is powerful evidence shot in broad daylight. Air Force fighters give chase, buzzing a UFO craft (vimana) hovering, which then plunges straight down into the ocean. It ends with a black military helicopter ordering the fishing boat caught in the middle of the event out of the area.

The captain keeps yelling, "What's happening here?!" He then orders the person holding the camcorder to "turn off the machine," apparently as not to upset the helicopter which could easily open fire on them if it became aware that it was being filmed.

The bottom of the screen is the helicopter's announcement in Spanish. It translates as: "Abandon this zone immediately and direct yourselves back to port. There you will receive further instructions."
