Just The Facts Cotulla Texas Disc Ufo Photo Senator Claims Angels Visited Him Nick Redfern Monster Files
COTULLA, TEXAS DISC UFO?COTULLA, TX - 7/6/12 - UNEDITED: My father works in an oil company here in Texas, and they had noticed that some people were taking the crude oil in the night. So they started putting cameras up around the areas. One night one camera caught a UFO. The news had spread throught the workers and they soon emailed to my father. My father had sent it to me and now Im posting it here on mufon. When I saw the picture I couldnt believe how the shape was, it was what I had expected. More so since it was also hovering off the ground. I was used to different ufos mainly because I have seen some since I was a kid. It really got to me that I now have proof of the existence of these entities. - "MUFON CMS"Case Number - 45031Log Number - US-01052013-0003Date Submitted - 01/05/2013 05:32 UTCDate of the Event - 07/06/2012 10:04 UTCCity - CotullaRegion - TexasCountry - United StatesLatitude 28.436934Longitude -99.235032 SENATOR CLAIMS ANGELS VISITED HIM IN HOSPITALFor Mark Kirk, there was no white light, no tunnel.What Illinois' junior U.S. senator experienced was three angels standing at the foot of his bed."You want to come with us?" Kirk was asked."No," he told them. "I'll hold off."The Highland Park Republican, who plans to return to the Senate when Congress convenes Thursday, recounted the story in his first in-depth interview since he suffered a massive stroke nearly a year ago.Awakening from what he says might have been a dream, a side effect of medication or a near-death experience, Kirk found himself lying in a hospital bed in Northwestern Memorial Hospital's Intensive Care Unit, hooked up to monitors and tubes.He had no way of immediately knowing what had transpired in the days after he suffered an ischemic stroke on Jan. 21, 2012; that doctors had put him in a coma and performed several surgeries, temporarily removing a 4-by-8 inch portion of skull to allow his brain to swell and heal.What Kirk did know was how close he had been to death."A thing goes off in your head that this is the end," he remembered.Kirk's life and outlook would be dramatically changed, the stroke serving as a defining moment that he said deepened his faith and altered his sense of purpose.Sitting at the dining room table of his suburban townhouse, his left arm slack, Kirk gestures emphatically with his right hand as he says the experience made him resolve "to never, ever give up."He is determined "to just keep going, even when things feel like we're at the end here. Which is what the ICU was like for me."This Thursday, Jan. 3, Kirk plans to climb the 45 steps of the U.S. Capitol without the aid of a handrail.The goal-driven 53-year-old visualized those steps as a source of inspiration as he toiled through the physical therapy sessions at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago that left him exhausted, sore and, at times, nauseated."I kept imagining going back to work," Kirk said, "and the irreducible physical amount of effort I had to put in."Kirk has prepared for his return to the Senate with the intensity and focus he has been known for during his 28-year political career, which he began as a staffer in former 10th District Congressman John Porter's office, where he capped off long days on Capitol Hill by attending Georgetown Law School at night.He now has his daily commute to the Senate floor plotted down to the last detail."Leave the elevator, turn right, walk into the chamber, up three stairs," Kirk said. "That area is open to the public and there are lots of reporters there and flip phones. I figured I'm going to have to get this right."Kirk, who marked the first year after his 2010 election to the Senate with an exhausting travel schedule - trips to Afghanistan, the Horn of Africa and Poland, among others - will see his routine altered, his pace slowed.Kirk's stroke - caused by a blocked artery - occurred on the right side of his brain, which affects movement on his left side.Dr. Richard Fessler, who operated on Kirk, said the senator was fortunate the stroke did not occur on the left side, which deals with cognitive abilities to speak, understand and think.Kirk's recovery, Fessler said in a statement in late December, was "remarkable and exceeds my expectations.""He remains the core person that he was before the stroke. His thought process is normal, and his mental state remains sharp. As I have said from the beginning, when he returns to the Senate he will be fully capable of performing his official duties," Fessler wrote.Today, Kirk said, all of the blood clots in his body are gone, including one in his left leg that could have triggered another stroke or pulmonary embolism. He attributes much of his recovery to his medical team's experience and skill."The only reason I'm doing so well (is) this wasn't the first rodeo for my doctors and nurses," Kirk said. "The story of my recovery was the story of medical professionals who didn't complicate problems."Gone, though, is his rapid-fire speech, his punctuation of key points with an energetic bounce on the balls of his feet.He now considers himself a "disabled American."Kirk now speaks clearly, but more softly, slowly and deliberately. His left side has suffered partial paralysis, causing him to use a four-pronged cane. He has regained little use of his left arm, and is blind in one quadrant of his left eye.For efficiency, he will be pushed in a wheelchair around the Capitol complex.Kirk does not pretend that life is the same. But he is not angry."I would say that I definitely became much more religious," Kirk said. "They say there are no atheists in foxholes, and this stroke put me into a very deep foxhole. Yet, that feeling of faith sustained me, so I have no feelings of anger or regret."A Bible passage from the book of Matthew in which Jesus gives the Sermon on the Mount serves as a daily source of reflection, reminding Kirk to place his trust in a higher power.He said he regards the stroke as his "old friend" - a sort of blessing that allowed him to meet other stroke victims he otherwise never would have known.He speaks of Maggie, a 19-year-old "fashionista" with a warm personality, and Terry, a suburban pastor, with whom he bonded during therapy sessions.His muscles atrophied after spending weeks in a hospital bed, Kirk relearned to walk in a frustrating, exhausting process that came with a breakthrough moment. "I figured a way to think about it," he said of walking again. "My left leg was like a dead tuna that was stapled to my hip. I had to use my hip to swing forward. The day that I figured it out, I couldn't stop walking."Therapists told him that left leg eventually would become weight bearing, a prediction that came true, though he didn't initially believe it.Practicing walking on the treadmill on the ninth floor of the Rehabilitation Institute building, Kirk would look out the window, down to the Superior Street entrance."I imagined myself walking to the building and to the entrance that I would see," Kirk said. "That thought would sustain me... as long as possible."In late December, Kirk left the townhouse where he lived largely in solitude for six months, with only the daily presence of a caregiver and an aggressive black cat, Cleopatra, to keep him company.Just a day after his arrival in Washington, D.C., Kirk appeared at a holiday party at his Hart Senate office, making the long walk down the fifth floor hallway with the help of his cane.So begins a new chapter for the senator, who will rely on the help of staffers as he resumes his duties.In many ways, Washington has changed little since Kirk's departure a year ago. He remains in the Senate minority in a chamber beleaguered by gridlock.From the outside, Illinoisans he represents were initially given few details about his recovery, with Kirk's staff choosing to communicate largely through prepared statements. But a review of Kirk's last 12 months shows that he gradually increased his workload as he became more and more eager to return to the Senate and to his role as the Illinois GOP's top office holder.Those efforts were evident in the passage of Iran sanctions legislation, one of his hallmark issues, and in videos he released on the state's credit downgrade and in support of campaigns of vulnerable Republicans.Meanwhile, the 100-member Senate, while politically divided, nonetheless demonstrated willingness and camaraderie in taking up Kirk's causes as he recovered at home, unable to cast votes.Kirk began holding videoconferences with staffers over comprehensive Iran sanctions while he was still an inpatient at the Rehabilitation Institute, giving them direction between rehab sessions and speaking by phone with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. On the Senate floor, New Jersey Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez carried Kirk's ideas forward.Along with Menendez, Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal and West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin - all Democrats - and others advanced a number of Kirk's priorities.Durbin, a senator since 1997, watched South Dakota Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson resume his duties in 2008 after a stroke a year before."I saw after (Johnson) arrived a dramatic improvement in his communication skills over time," Durbin said. "My feeling is that Mark is going to come back and he's going to continue to progress. I know he's going to work on it."Kirk said he spent much of rehab asking himself, "What would Tim Johnson do?" Now, his challenge is gauging how fatigue will affect his daily schedule.Living in a new, wheelchair accessible apartment on Capitol Hill, he will get back to Illinois "as much as possible" and still considers Highland Park his primary residence. While in Washington, he will attend therapy three days a week.Kirk's return will present some new challenges for his close-knit group of aides as they adjust to the senator's new physical limitations and energy levels. But this is not something Kirk wishes to hide.This is not the era of Franklin Roosevelt, who, out of political necessity, hid the fact that polio had left him unable to walk."My hope was my recovery would be easily understood and very public and very transparent. Most times the public figures cover up the big problem they have," Kirk said.He calls the stroke "the hardest thing I've ever overcome and the biggest lesson in life I have ever learned by a country mile."On Thursday, all eyes will be on Kirk as he climbs the Capitol steps at 11:30 a.m.He won't be alone."I was talking to Mark the other day, and he said, 'I want you with me to come up the steps,'" Durbin said.Illinois' senior Democratic senator didn't waste a moment in his reply."I said, 'There's going to be a big crowd, and you can bet I'm going to be in it.'" - Daily HeraldAngels 101: An Introduction to Connecting, Working, and Healing with the AngelsIn the Arms of Angels: True Stories of Heavenly GuardiansHow to Hear Your Angels"

ANCIENT CELTIC NECKLACE LINKED TO PARANORMAL ACTIVITY"By Lewis Hales M.A.,M.A" - This article is about my corporation's signature artifact, a Celtic necklace about 2,300 years old, and the astounding experiences our staff and others have had with it over the past eight years. The Celtic Collection Program is a nonprofit educational living history corporation, located in Georgia, America. Our mission statement is to facilitate a better understanding of ancient Celtic society, history and artwork from a multicultural perspective. We specialize in historical research and feature educational presentations and living history models representing Native Americans, Hinduism, Celtic Christianity and ancient Celtic society. The Celtic Collection Models come from different faiths and cultural orientation. We also exhibit 10 ancient collections consisting of thousands of geological specimens and artifacts, but only one relic has caused more response than any of the others combined. Since we obtained the necklace, some of our models, staff and I have noticed a pattern of strange activity associated with it, especially for those that either touch or wear it during photo shoots and at our shows. I bought the necklace in 2004 from the Sadigh Gallery Ancient Art in New York. It was excavated in Central Europe and is of exceptional rare beauty and historical importance. It is believed to have been owned by a female druid. It is made out of bronze and was large enough to have been clearly visible in a large crowd. In the Sun's reflection, it likely made a convincing impression. Its green color is called patina, a kind of tarnish that forms on the surface of bronze from being in the ground for a long period of time. Its chain is about 20 inches long consisting of 33 links to which are attached three interconnected pendants. Two of the pendants are circular and the third is a bell. Because its primary motif is an enhanced version of Celtic circle theology, the necklace was likely a multipurpose religious item worn while performing at different kinds of ceremonies. Its features are feminine, which suggests it was either made for a woman or used to invoke a particular female deity or both. Each link is different from the others in shape and size to emphasize the importance of the circle. Its numerical encoding portrays symbolism that likely did not come from the metal smith that made it. It is reasonable that a cleric personally designed the encoding details and then assigned it to a smith to make according to those specifications.The meaning of the necklace is to portray an enhanced version of the Celtic sacred number three; 33 links combined with three pendants equal the number nine, which is the most complete sequence in Celtic sacred three theology. To the ancient Celts, the circle meant protection, veneration of ancestors and life's comprehensive circle, which involved birth, death and reincarnation. The bell stood for protection and enlightenment. Ancient Celtic sacred bells were the forerunners of sacred bells now used by Catholic priests during Mass. Legend states that St. Patrick once used a sacred bell to drive away evil. By today's religious standards, the necklace would have been regarded as important by the Celts as a vestment, communion cup, Hoshen, Kittel or a cross. The necklace has attained several educational accolades in a short period of time. It has been special featured on WAGA-TV Fox 5 Good Day Atlanta, CBS, a CNN affiliate station, GPB Georgia Gazette and on WXIA 11Alive News by Anchor Wes Sarginson. It has been published in Celtic Heritage, and in 2006, Georgia's Governor Purdue held it during a special viewing of The Celtic Collection and was very impressed with its beauty and antiquity. - CONTINUE READING AT PARANORMAL NEWS NICK REDFERN'S 'MONSTER FILES'So, what do I have going on in this new year, 2013?
