Chupacabra Digest

Apparently, for only 995 (not including airfare) anyone can sign up for this year's CSETI summer camp to learn how to contact aliens via telepathy. In addition, Steven Greer will relate his own experiences with "vectoring" UFOs to respond to his mental commands, and he will offer training in getting in tune with the universe.

Tell you what. For a quarter of that, I can put you up in a guest room and teach you UFO investigation and research techniques, and drive out for a day trip and horseback adventure to visit the Michalak UFO site in Whiteshell Provincial Park. That could even include doing a Morgan Spurlock and eating at McDonalds for the week, if you wanted. If you REALLY wanted, you could try using your psychic powers to keep bears away while you visited the site.

Or better yet, save your money. UFO investigation and research could be officially dead, if the CSETI camp gets sold out, as it probably will.

Paranormal subjects cover a huge range on interests from folklore to ghosts, ESP to UFOs and more. So, where does one begin to decide just what to explore in the field of paranormal? Some basic background will help you.

If you are of an indigenous people, Celtic or Nordic, and an adventurer at heart, you might be more attracted than others to local folklore and creatures from skinwalkers to Thunderbirds, trolls to elves. Going back to the origins of your nationality can be one of the most passionate avenues of research you will have. If you watch "Destination Truth" on Syfy channel, you have likely run into lots of these legends. They have searched for dinosaurs in Africa, little hairy wild men in South America, elves in Iceland and Leprechauns in Ireland. This is likely the show for you to check out and get inspired by some of these mythical and mystical creatures. The show "Monsterquest" was an exceptionally good show that chased after legendary cryptids, as well. For writers on these cryptid subjects, consider Loren Coleman's books and Nick Redfern. In fact, Loren writes for Cryptomundo site and Nick has his own blog.

If you have always had a love of astronomy, astrology, Star Trek, Star Wars, searching the night sky and contemplating the universe, you might consider the study of UFOs and also the realm of physics. These are the huge questions of the universe. Those who love philosophy are likely to be attracted to this. I'd suggest two shows to get you started, "UFO Hunters" and "Through the Wormhole." You might read some Whitley Strieber or Stanton Friedman books.

If you have a lot of history, beautiful historic sites, and have a romantic streak, as well as love horror movies, ghosts might be your passion. I would suggest you try "Ghost Hunters" show that does a fair representation of what ghost hunting is like, as well as the show "A Haunting" which retells real life ghost stories. You might want to read books by David Rountree or my own book, "Was That a Ghost?"

Richard Branson has admitted that the fatal Virgin Galactic crash forced him to re-evaluate whether he should continue with his dream of civilian space travel. In a New Year's Day blog posting, the Virgin Galactic founder revealed how he was riddled with doubts about the multi-million-pound venture as he flew to California hours after the crash. He reveald that the Oct. 31 crash, which killed one test pilot and injured the other pilot, affected him deeply. "As I travelled from my home to Mojave that Friday evening, I found myself questioning seriously for the first time, whether in fact it was right to be backing the development of something that could result in such tragic circumstances," he wrote. "In short - was Virgin Galactic and everything it has stood for and dreamt of achieving, really worth it?"

Co-pilot Michael Alsbury was killed in the accident and pilot Peter Siebold was seriously injured but managed to escape after activating his parachute system.

Meanwhile, the National Transportation Safety Board is continuing its investigation of the incident, which marks the first in-flight fatality suffered by a commercial spaceflight effort.

The NTSB said an onboard video showed that co-pilot Michael Alsbury, who died in the crash, prematurely pulled a lever that unlocked SpaceShipTwo's wing-feathering brake system. That action was taken seconds after the plane lit up its rocket motor, and just moments before the catastrophic breakup.

Branson and the rest of the team are pressing on with the Virgin Galactic venture, which has signed up about 700 customers to take suborbital space trips at a cost of as much as 250,000 a seat. A second SpaceShipTwo plane is under construction, and work is proceeding as well on Virgin Galactic's LauncherOne system for sending small satellites into orbit.

Virgin Galactic's pilots took WhiteKnightTwo, the wide-winged airplane that's designed to carry SpaceShipTwo up for launch, out for a practice flight "just before people started trickling out to spend time with their families for the holidays," Will Pomerantz, the company's vice president for special projects, told NBC News.

In his New Year's retrospective, Branson gave a nod to Alsbury and Siebold as well as to Virgin Galactic's customers.

"When this story is told in years to come, I believe alongside the bravery of Mike and the incredible tale of Pete's survival will stand the story of the commitment, loyalty and passion of the world's first private astronauts," Branson wrote. "And so Virgin Galactic goes on, with an unwavering commitment to safety and a renewed sense of purpose."

There were 5 of us sitting outside around 10:10 I looked over and up everyone else as well. We got up from the table and walked to the next lawn so we didn't miss anything. It lasted 2-3min tops. It's really hard to exp. them it looked like it could of been red/orange/yellowish orbs I know what those Chinese lanterns look like and this was no Chinese lantern. It started off in a pattern and then in a line up and down, top,middle,bottom. The size of it from where we were standing looked like a golf ball in a half. We lost sight of them going up to far they were just gone

UFO SIGHTING IN WASHINGTON, WASHINGTON ON SEPTEMBER 1ST 2004 - TWO PARALLEL LIGHTS MOVING FAST JUST ABOVE OCEAN SURFACE

I was sitting in my car parked on a small car ferry crossing from mainland (Strawberry Point) across Hale Passage toward Lummi Island, Washington. The night sky was crystal clear, and I was marveling both at how incredibly calm and glassy the Sound was and that I could even see the stars reflections in the water. I'd never seen the water so calm there, especially to be able to see the stars reflecting in it, so i got out of my car and stood at the railing as the ferry slowly left Strawberry Point and chugged toward the island's landing dock (I'd guess it only goes 10mph or so). About one minute out, I saw what I assumed were two lights on a car (one white the other red) across the water rounding a bend on Haxton Way, the road that curves along the southern tip of the Lummi Indian Reservation (across Hale Passage from Lummi Island) approximately 3/4 mile from the ferry. I guessed I was seeing one headlight and one red running light on a car, close together, but they weren't following that curve in the road I was very familiar with. And because I could see those lights' star-like long reflections in the calm waters, I continued tracking them awhile. But when the lights moved beyond the end of that small peninsula, and carried on out into the strait between the mainland and small island just off it across Portage Bay--can't recall name of that island, its the Lummi tribe's sacred island off limits to non-tribe members--I knew they weren't from a car of course. As the ferry got about halfway out on the 6 minute crossing, I began to assume I was seeing the running lights on a Lummi fishing vessel. But even over the sound of the ferry's engine I normally would be able to hear a fishing boat's engine from that distance, approx. 3-500 feet by now. The two lights, a white one with a red one right next to it, continued on--perhaps just a few feet over the water--and so, still unsure of I exactly what I was tracking, I waited for this "boat" to cut across the many long, narrow reflections of house lights on the reservation's shoreline shining across the absolutely flat, still Sound water. I was waiting for those reflections to be interrupted and stirred about, which a boat's wake would do. But when these two lights--which appeared now to be moving faster than any fishing boat could, and I thought I might be seeing some fast harbor patrol boat or such speeding out toward open waters--crossed paths with those house light refections and DID NOT alter them in any way, the hair on my neck stood up. It was impossible. At this moment a man waiting in the car behind mine jumped out to the railing, he was seeing the same thing I was, and we exchanged silent shrugs, hands up in air etc as if to say 'what was that?' I then next saw the red and white lights pair moving so fast, just over the water and curving northwest beyond Strawberry Point and out toward sea and out of sight past the northern tip of Lummi Island, that I let out a loud gasp and 'what the f--k' exclamation. I expected the other guy to reply, but he just shook his head and quickly got back in his car without saying a word. Having seen another unexplained light phenomena on Lummi Island the year prior (I just posted that sighting to MUFON earlier)--and having zero explanation for ANY boat cutting across those house lights reflections without a single ripple in said reflections, its completely impossible--I was absolutely sure I'd just seen a UFO. When the ferry reached the Lummi Island dock, I asked a ferry worker directing traffic off the boat if he'd seen those lights. At first he just gave me a weird look, but then he said 'Lots of odd things happen over here' as he waved me to drive on up the landing's ramp. I was of course stunned by all this, driving my car up the road and pulling off at the first pullout I could find with a clear view of Hale Passage to look for more lights, etc. I must've sat there looking for an hour, trying to digest what had just happened. Will never forget it. It was 9 years ago--I just heard about MUFON on the radio so just now reporting--but, especially writing about it now, it feels all the more vivid in my mind. Thanks for running a place like MUFON...

In December of 1987 many UFOs were seen streaking across ten states. In Missouri at Lake of the Ozarks, a man was outside his home - 20 feet away from a picture window where nine witnesses were available. He looked toward the west while he was smoking a cigarette and observed three green luminous objects coming towards him. As they came closer he saw that they were solid objects within a cloud-like surrounding halo of green. He said he would compare them to the size of a 747 without a tail fin.

As he observed he tried to yell to the people in the house. He could not scream, nor could he move. He was completely paralyzed. Hovering above him in stair step fashion the three craft each took turns on the bottom stair to get a better look at him. All along the front of the object were windows. In the windows aliens were "pointing a finger at him and nodding their heads like they were discussing him." The intense white light coming from within the craft was so bright he could not make out the details of the aliens. He could see the outline of their heads and saw an impression of their eyes. Talking with the witness on the phone he explained that communication was established between the aliens and himself at that moment. One thing they asked him was what he ate. Then when he mentally asked them the same question they said they got their nourishment from light and that was why it was so light inside the craft. Other things were discussed but he did not reveal what they were.

As soon as the craft moved away he was let loose from the paralyzing grip that held him. At that moment he screamed for the people in the house to come outside and see. They all observed the craft moving away.

The witness and his brother jumped in their pickup and raced to a vantage point where they could see if the craft came back. Another pickup pulled up. The elderly couple in it said, "You must have seen what we did!" He said he had. They told him they had two cameras in the front seat which they grabbed immediately. The only trouble was they could not remove the lens caps to take a picture! At least they corroborated what he had seen.

This case was given to MUFON to follow up on. The last time I spoke to the witness no one had ever come to talk with him.

For the week following the sighting he was in a state of confusion. He really needed someone to help him but there was no one.

It is logical that there would be reactions to the statements given by the scientist Stephen Hawking about aliens.

But of course, we are talking about reasonable reactions, those that come from scientists, not from the fanatic fringe.

And we've found some of those reactions in an article written in The Christian Science Monitor, by Tom A. Peter, Correspondent, on April 26, 2010.

Here some excerpts of the text:

When Stephen Hawking, one of the world's leading astrophysicists, worries that alien "nomads" could potentially arrive at Earth "looking to conquer and colonize," should humanity worry?

Is Mr. Hawking wrong to speculate about whether extraterrestrial life might pose a threat?

"Well, at this point," says Fabio Favata of the European Space Agency, "such musings are probably premature. There's no data either way."

"Many, many scientists are of the opinion that life is very likely to be common, but, quite frankly, until you discover it, it's as much a philosophical statement as anything else. As a scientist you base your views on actual measurements," says Mr. Favata, head of the ESA's science planning and community coordination office. "Whether there are other life forms or not, I would say, is one of the oldest questions that mankind has asked itself."

"Before worrying about communicating with extraterrestrials, I think most scientists are first of all trying to establish whether there is any form of extraterrestrial life and that is likely to take, still a certain number of years before one can make any definite statement, and I'm talking here whether there is anything in terms of primitive life let alone intelligent life," says Favata.

"Ignoring the possibility [alien life] and hiding your head in the sand, waiting for them to find us certainly isn't a scientifically intelligent way to proceed or a good cultural way to anticipate something like that either," says Mary Voytek, senior scientist for astrobiology at NASA. "Our approach to it has been to be prepared. We're not going to get caught, say like the native Americans when Columbus came to their shores. We've been actively listening and hopefully we get some information before any eventual encounter ever happens."

Martha Haynes, an astronomer at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, says:

"We are in a position to learn a lot more about what else might be out there in the cosmos and in particular we're on the verge of finding... planets which support the kinds of conditions which might allow life as we know it to exist,"

"Aliens that we contact are likely to be far in advance of us, and may well have the capability to find out a great deal about us even if we don't talk formally with them, so I think talking would be OK. Moreover, it could be very interesting," David E. Pritchard, a professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, writes in an e-mail to the Monitor.
