Have you ever seen someone that no one else with you saw? Did you ever interact with them? In this account by Jannice Fadely, that is exactly what happened to her and her mother over 30 years ago. While browsing an occult book store in San Francisco that they frequented, they ran across an elderly employee who was very knowledgeable in matters of the occult. They spoke with this gentleman for over two hours while other patrons browsed the store. The store’s owner even brushed by the man as she walked to the register to ring up the purchase. At the end of the conversation the helpful employee even rang up some purchases for the pair. Excited to have found such a wealth of information, they returned to the store the next day, they could not find their new friend. When they asked the owner when he would be working next, she replied that there was never an old man working at the store. Why did no one else in the store see the old man? Why did no one notice the mother and daughter speaking with him?

The numbers are in for January, and despite the ongoing high profile sightings in Texas, the level of reported UFO activity has remained at normal within normal parameters. Even though January did not see any drastic increase in the number of reported sighting, I think there is a strong possibility that we will see a rise in reported sightings in the months to come. First (and undeniably the most importantly), the mainstream media’s reporting of the Stephenville sightings has brought ufology out of the recesses of the obscure and into the public consciousness. Even if the large majority of the public dismissed the sightings (which I am sure they did), the idea of seeing a UFO is rattling around in their subconscious and I think that will lead to the public paying more attention to the skies above their heads, even if just in passing. Second, February saw a lunar eclipse, an event that historically is a hotbed of UFO reports. With more people craning their necks to gaze at moon, millions of eyes scanned the sky – increasing the chances that if a UFO was in the sky, that it would be seen. Lastly, January brought us a new weekly UFO show on the history channel which (regardless of it’s quality) will grip the imaginations of the public and in my opinion lead to more eyes on the sky. All in all, I think we are about to see some interesting times ahead. What do you think? The comments are open, let me know.

photo by Professor BattyThe other night I noticed a cat sitting watching me from across the street as I left a friends house. This seemingly innocuous event got me thinking. If I wanted to closely observe humanity unnoticed, but remain mobile how would I disguise my cameras/probes (or possibly myself)? The answer to that questions was staring me in the face, swishing its tail side to side. Feral cats are everywhere and almost no one notices them, making them the perfect disguise for a research probe.

First, from a physical standpoint cats are an ideal base to build an observation platform around. Their near supernatural agility means that the probe can be given the speed and maneuverability needed to evade capture without looking suspicious. A cat’s size would also allow ample room for the equipment needed on a remote probe (especially if using advanced alien technology). The probe’s power system could even be based on or supplemented by a bacteria based biologic power generation system that lets the probe “feed” on pet food left out for outdoor animals. In addition cats are omnipresent and largely look the same regardless of where in the world you go, meaning one probe could be used virtually anywhere on Earth without drawing any attention to itself.
