Walter Cronkite’s UFO Encounter…Did It Happen?

(Before It's News)

Walter Cronkite, the premier TV anchorman of the U.S. networks’ golden age who reported a tumultuous time with reassuring authority and came to be called “the most trusted man in America.”

Cronkite was the face of CBS News from 1962 to 1981, when stories ranged from the John F. Kennedy assassination to the Iranian hostage crisis.

According to UFO researcher Bill Knell (more on him below), in the 1950s Cronkite was part of a pool of news reporters brought out to a small South Pacific island to watch the test of a new Air Force missile…a large disc-type UFO appeared on the scene. Cronkite guessed that the object was about 50-60 feet in diameter, a dull grey color and had no visible means of propulsion. As Air Force guards ran toward the UFO with their dogs, the disc hovered about 30 feet off of the ground.

Bill Knell’s claim: In the 1950s Cronkite was part of a pool of News Reporters brought out to a small South Pacific island to watch the test of a new Air Force missile. After a short inspection of the new system by the reporters, they were lead to an area that was a safe distance from the launch site. The missile was mounted on a specially-built launcher that was attached to a cement base. It was obvious that the area had been quickly built just for the test. The details about the missile were going to be given to the reporters in he form of hand-out sheets and press releases after the test.

Cronkite mentioned that he and the other reporters had been warned that photography of the missile test and any audio transmissions or recordings by the press were forbidden. They would have to give a written account of the event. Just as the test was ready to proceed, everyone was writing as fast as they could. As Air Force Security personnel walked around the perimeter of the test area with guard dogs and the news reporters watched, the missile was fired-up and about to be released. Just then, a large disc-type UFO appeared on the scene.

Cronkite guessed that the object was about 50-60 feet in diameter, a dull grey color and had no visible means of propulsion. Because the noise of activity around him and the missile engine was so loud, he couldn’t tell whether the disc made any noise. He did not notice any coming directly from the object.

As Air Force guards ran toward the UFO with their dogs, the disc hovered about 30 feet off of the ground. It suddenly sent out a blue beam of light which struck the missile, a guard and a dog all at the same time. The missile was frozen in mid-air about 70 feet from the launcher as it had taken off. A guard was frozen in mid-step and a dog frozen in mid-air as it had jumped at the disc. Cronkite reminded me that this all happened within the space of about five minutes or less.

Suddenly, the missile exploded! After that, the disc vanished. The guard and dog looked alright, but were quickly taken away by medical personnel always present at tests in case anyone became injured. At the same time, guards rapidly ushered the reporters into a concrete observation bunker. After about thirty minutes of sitting in that hot box, they were brought out into the air again and addressed by an Air Force Colonel.

The officer told them, “It was all part of the test.” Obviously making it up as he went along, the Colonel said that the event was “staged” to test media reaction to UFOs. He reinforced the usual line to the reporters that Flying Saucers were probably not extra-terrestrial, but what people were actually seeing was secret planes being tested by the Air Force. This test was designed to show the media how “shocking” it could be to suddenly view a new technology. Well, Cronkite was certain that what he viewed was a new technology, but he was also sure it was not an Earthly one! He didn’t believe the Air Force explanation then, and he still didn’t believe it at the time when he told me the story.

After the event, reporters were told that since it was a test of media reaction to new technology, they could not report on it! But, they would be compensated later with exclusive stories on new Air Force projects (a promise that was never kept). Being as private as he was, Cronkite never did share with me his own beliefs about UFOs beyond the story he told me. I was so happy to have heard the story that I was afraid to ask anything further!

The CBS UFO Special was filmed shortly after my meeting with Cronkite and I was included in it for just a few minutes. During the filming, I became aware that Cronkite had not shared his story with most of the other UFO investigators or witnesses. After the special aired I called one of Cronkite’s staff members and asked him if he had ever heard the UFO story. He told me he had. Cronkite had only shared it with a few key people and it was NOT covered or even mentioned in the Special.

I wondered why Cronkite had chosen to tell me the story without telling everyone? The staff members told me that most of the others were so busy telling him about themselves that he just never bothered. I guess that the greatest lesson the legendary newsman taught me that day was the art of conversation, knowing when to talk and when to listen! – Bill Knell – 4/6/2006

FOLLOW-UP to Walter Cronkite’s UFO Encounter

I originally wrote the Cronkite article in 1998 for my website, but I thought readers at Paranormal News might enjoy it as well. I met Cronkite in 1973 (as the article indicates) and that’s when he told me the story.

I have repeated the story ever since during many of my seminars and found that a few others had heard the story too. Most of them had heard it second hand or said that they had read it somewhere. At the time it happened, some of his staff knew about it, so I assumed it wasn’t really a big secret. He didn’t tell it to me in confidence, so I felt no obligation to keep it a secret. Since publications come and go and people have short memories for news, it’s possible that Cronkite had once shared it in some long-forgotten interview. But I have never seen it in print.

I feel that Cronkite’s account of what happened is very credible. He seemed to be telling me the story from an honest memory of the event. When we conversed, he was very interested in the Air Force cover-up. I suspect that if he had more control over the 1973 documentary, he would have angled it in that direction. Instead, it was pretty much a neutral piece designed for ratings (from my memory). Although I have contacted CBS many times, they finally told me that any tape or film the UFO Special was on no longer exists and was probably lost in the shuffle of the news craziness surrounding Watergate (which broke big around that time).

Like many important stories, this one has been around awhile, but I think alot of people in the UFO and Paranormal research community probably were too busy chasing false starts created by government disinformation to cover it. I recall that when everyone was running to Gulf Breeze in the late 80′s and early 90′s, I revealed a story regarding a trip by former general Doolittle (the leader of the famous bombing raid on Japan during the early part of WWII) to Spitzbergen and his possible connection to the recovery of a UFO. He was there in 1946 and may have obtained a UFO that crashed on the island during the war. I had met some sailors from the USS Alabama in the late 80′s who said the object was brought back to the USA on the battleship Alabama. I started telling this story in my seminars as early as 1990, but noticed that the ABOUT.com UFO page attributes it to some 1950s or 60′s article by someone I had never heard of?

I also noticed that some of the MUFON people credited my original recording of the first radio interview given by Kenneth Arnold less then 12 hours after his 1947 sighting to some guy named Mike. I received that recording from a radio guy who had the original interview in the 70′s and have been playing it in my seminars ever since. I assume that Mike lifted it off one of my audio or video sets and sent it to whoever at MUFON. No problem, just an illustration of how stuff is out there is you take some time to look at some of us little guys who aren’t Richard, Budd or Whitley.

Here’s one more. In 1987 I met a guy that had worked with Jesse Marcel. He told me that some of the material shown in texas that was supposed to be from the weather balloon wreckage was actually from the real object. It was some of the lighter colored, small pieces laying on top of the balloon wreckage at the bottom of the press conference photos. I told that story to Friedman and others who laughed at it. Now I see that photo examination has revealed it to be true. But that didn’t surprise me. I was amused to find out that most people in the UFO community didn’t know that when THE ROSWELL INCIDENT was first published, Bill Moore still had never actually visited or set foot in Roswell! He wrote the book from all of Friedman’s notes and by witness interviews over the phone. Moore finally went to the place later.

Finally, I doubt that Cronkite kept the story a secret. Some of his staff knew about it and a few others I’ve met through the years. When he told it to me, he did it as calmly as someone reporting the weather. I think he just likes being in the driver’s seat when it comes to his own life and experiences and might have even been a bit embarrassed by it all. Maybe he was just caught up in the moment and felt like getting it off his chest.

Actually, I was the only UFO researcher there who didn’t have anything to promote. I was a teen with a mimeographed UFO newsletter who got invited to speak at local libraries and Kiwanis Clubs. I think he might have told the story to the others as well, but most of them were very busy blowing their own horns and promoting their stuff. Look at the depths to which I’ve sunk since then. Now I’m blowing MY own horn!

In case you’re wondering about it, I tried getting a few more details out of Cronkite regarding the actual location of the test, but he told me that the reporters were brought to the location without being told exactly where it was. Secrecy regarding the actual location was a part of the conditions for being able to witness the test. I decided not to push the point or question him further. – Bill Knell – UFO Researcher

Walter Cronkite Biography Reveals His Dark Side

A new biography of Walter Cronkite reveals the less trustworthy side of the most trusted man in America.

The CBS anchor is remembered as a media giant who gruffly championed hard-hitting journalism. This is a mostly justifiable assessment. But some unscrupulous actions outlined in the book muddy his otherwise almost spotless reputation, and make clear how much the media has changed.

For starters, he had no problem accepting freebies. These weren’t occasional drinks, but flights to remote and luxurious vacation spots around he world for him and his friends and family, courtesy of now-defunct airline Pan Am.

News organizations today place heavy restrictions on the amount of gifts their journalists can receive, if any. This is done in order to protect the organizations’ neutrality. For example, The New York Times’ company policy states:

Staff members and those on assignment for us may not accept anything that could be construed as a payment for favorable coverage or for avoiding unfavorable coverage. They may not accept gifts, tickets, discounts, reimbursements or other benefits from individuals or organizations covered (or likely to be covered) by their newsroom.

An article in The Daily Beast relates Cronkite’s other shenanigans, which included dining with a go-go dancer and bugging a committee room at a GOP convention. The piece questions how Cronkite’s more private affairs would have been perceived in the era of Internet tabloids:

Looking back, Cronkite’s virtual immunity as a public figure is troubling. But I see an upside as well: he wielded his enormous clout on behalf of muscular journalism. As Vietnam and Watergate eroded public confidence in government, Cronkite emerged as a new kind of authority figure, his public image unsullied by the grime of politics. What a stunning contrast to the corrosive distrust of the news business today. – THP

Daily 2 Cents: Yeti in Moscow Region? — Implants Give Humans Self-Healing Superpowers — The Thing That Came In The Night!

(Before It's News)

Yeti in Moscow Region?

A group of Russian enthusiasts says they have new evidence of the existence of a Russian bigfoot — and it was found just outside of Moscow.

On a table inside the capital’s illustrious State Darwin Museum last month, surrounded by glass cases containing beetles and moths, lies the purported proof: a fragment of tree bark that appears to have been marked by a large primate.

The bark sample was taken by Andrei Stroganov, a biophysical technologist at Moscow’s Agricultural Academy, from an uprooted two-meter-long tree trunk that he says had been planted in the earth and marked with horizontal scratches. Stroganov found the curiosity in July in a forested area near a railway line in the Solnechnogorsk district — just five kilometers from the Moscow satellite town of Zelenograd — while scouring the forests for signs of the Almas, as the Russian bigfoot is known, after hearing reports that such a creature had been spotted in the area.

“The Almas is cosmopolitan,” jokes Stroganov in response to an expression of alarm at its apparent proximity to the capital.

“I am not worried: They are benevolent and need our protection.”

Igor Burtsev, an athletic septuagenarian who has become Russia’s most vocal publicist for Almas research and is also present in the Darwin Museum, concurs. He calls the as yet mythical creatures “Forest People” and sees them as a hybrid species, half-human and half-something unknown.

Stroganov has placed the tree bark behind Perspex glass, over which he has drawn measurements. He thinks the marks resemble a paw print measuring nine inches across. There are no thumb marks, nor are there the claw marks of a bear.

Stroganov takes swabs of the bark prints and, with Burtsev videoing the proceedings, secures them in small plastic folders. They will air-mail these to Alabama in the U.S., where the Russian-born researcher Vladimir Yamschekov will do a morphological study of the traces and check out any DNA.

Burtsev heads a closed online Russian-speaking community of researchers and investigators that includes members in Ukraine and Kazakhstan. They all share the belief that the Almas announces its presence with stick structures.

Burtsev has just returned from a 1,730-kilometer journey to the city of Miass in the Urals region of Chelyabinsk, where he stayed with someone who claimed to have seen a Almas and be able to show just such signs of the creature’s habitats.

He was reluctant to discuss the details, saying only that he had seen “confirmation” of the Almas’ presence there.

“There is more information on this than when I started 50 years ago,” he said. “Then again, people have less time now and travel is more expensive. The bigfoot scene in America is bigger.”

Indeed, the quest for definitive proof of bigfoot, the towering man-like ape that reportedly walks on two legs and terrorizes loggers and campers in North America, has been well documented for decades. The search for his Russian counterpart is less well known.

The Soviet government set up a “Almas Commission” in 1958 to conduct field work on the matter after Everest mountaineers returned with tales of the yeti. The commission was short-lived, but areas like the Urals, Siberia’s Kemerovo region and the Caucasus became known as the stomping ground of the real-life Almas.

Burtsev, who lives with his daughter in a Moscow suburb, is waiting on a visa to visit America. There he will reconnect with bigfoot advocates such as Thom Cantrall and Randy Bisson, and hopes to generate interest in an English-language book he has written on the Kemerovo Almas.

Science joins the quest

Russia’s yeti-hunters have not only allies abroad, but also those who argue against the Almas’ existence.

Professor Bryan Sykes, a 67-year-old geneticist and fellow of Wolford College, Oxford, has written his own book debunking some purported evidence of the creature’s existence. Sykes previously helped identify the bones of the last of the Romanovs, Russia’s royal family murdered by the Bolsheviks in 1918. Now, in “The Yeti Enigma,” due out in September, he draws on the same expertise to look at alleged yeti evidence. He claims that all the 39 supposed yeti hairs and teeth samples that he tested came from ordinary animals. Sykes has also suggested that the Himalayan yeti is a species of polar bear.

Last October, Burtsev took on his nemesis in a TV series called “The Bigfoot Files” broadcast by the U.K.’s Channel 4.

The two men also clashed over a skull in Burtsev’s possession believed to have belonged to the son of a “wild woman” who had been held in captivity in Mongolia 150 years ago. After testing some samples, Sykes hypothesised that she might have been a black African slave, or a descendant of a group of people who migrated to Mongolia from Africa thousands of years ago. Burtsev insists that the skull’s shape is not that of an ordinary human.

Michael Trachtengerts, a colleague of Burtsev who also featured in the program, remains unswayed by Sykes’ arguments against the existence of the yeti.

“The samples he tested were doubtful,” he says over a recent lunch in a Moscow cafe. “Hairs from Siberia were identified as belonging to a North American brown bear! How is that possible?”

Trachtengerts, who has his own dual-language website on the Almas, remains optimistic that proof will soon be found. He is nearly 80.

Mission to America

While Burtsev waits for his U.S. visa, his collection of footprint casts — as well as the contentious skull — remain stashed away in a Moscow garage. Burtsev hopes to transfer them to a sanctuary in the form of the State Darwin Museum.

The museum has provided a haven for the Almas hunters since 1960. They gather there every month. This does not necessarily mean, however, that the museum officially believes in their cause.

“I specialize in birds, and haven’t looked into this problem,” says Vitaly Kontorshchikov, a staff member of the museum’s ecology department who was present at the bark examination.

“However, we can say nothing until we have some real bone samples. No bones — no science,” he said.

This leaves the usually garrulous Bourtsev silent. He merely offers a sphinx-like smile. – The Moscow Times

Tiny Implants Could Give Humans Self-Healing Superpowers

A new device developed by the Pentagon could give humans the ability to heal more rapidly.

A common trait among comic book superheroes is the ability to heal even the most grievous of wounds incredibly quickly, something that would seem to be completely impossible in real life.

A new military-sponsored research project however may be set to change all that through the development of a remarkable new device that can be implanted in to the body where it can both monitor and heal damage to internal organs.

“The technology DARPA plans to develop through the ElectRx program could fundamentally change the manner in which doctors diagnose, monitor and treat injury and illness,” said Doug Weber of DARPA’s biological technologies office.

The concept is based on the process known as neuromodulation which sees the body’s nervous system monitor internal organs and regulate the response to infection and disease. Sometimes when a person is injured this process can be thrown off, exacerbating their condition.

The new device would work by intervening in such an instance so that neuromodulation can be kept under control and the healing process can proceed as rapidly and efficiently as possible. Read more at Live Science

The Thing That Came In The Night!

In folklore, the incubus and succubus are male and female demons said to prey on sleeping victim’s. Such beliefs have often been perceived as nothing more than vivid nightmares, or ‘night terrors’, usually involving a person who, whilst sleeping on their backs, appear to awake, but are unable to move. They sense a presence in the room, and often a shadowy entity, sometimes resembling a hag-like figure, is said to enter the room. This apparition is often said to sit on the chest of the victim, who in their dream-state, is unable to breathe. The event only dissipates once the witness is able to break from the nightmare and the crushing sensation subsides.

These kind of attacks are reasonably common, but sexual phantoms have been known to apply more severe attacks to victims. On the night 9th August 1980 a South London woman became the target for a predatory wraith. At first, as she undressed for bed, the unseen spectre would call her name, and then on occasion caress her through her clothes, and then her naked flesh. Bizarrely, the woman felt stimulated by the presence and unable to act any other way towards the invisible form.

However, the randy spook became more violent, pulling at the woman, ripping her clothes, taunting her and terrifying her. On one occasion the victim was unable to move, and felt several tongues all over her body, and a taunting voice and feeling of being held down. The next morning she found bruises and scratches over her body and although she visited the doctor he simply passed the incident off as hysteria. When the attacks persisted, the woman called in a priest who stated that an incubus had been present in the room. Whatever had visited the woman, it was not put off by the crucifix around her neck.

After several more night time attacks, the woman felt no longer afraid and gradually over time the assaults dissipated.

Author Peter Haining stated that the case, which was investigated by researcher Lee Allane, and published in Forum: The International Journal Of Human Relations, was “… probably the most authentic of spectral rape on record.”

Such disturbing aspects of the supernatural were brought to the big screen several decades ago in the American movie The Entity in which a female was regularly raped by a spectral assailant.

Although the realm of the supernatural has provided great entertainment over the years, from its classic origins of hauntings pertaining to eerie houses, clanking spirits, and headless phantoms, there has always been a more serious ingredient. Cases such as the above prove that there is an even darker corner of the unknown to which there is no explanation. – Londonist.com

Serbia Real Vampire Homeland

An American journalist has revealed the homeland of vampires is Serbia, not Romania.

David Ono took a trip to Serbia and did a story that was widely accepted in Serbia this week.

The journalist based the story on locals in Serbia telling him that the first vampire was buried near the cemetery in the central village of Kisiljevo.

According to the same story, one of first official vampires was Petar Blagojevic. The journalist claims there was a document from 1725 saying Petar Blagojevic will stand up from the dead and chase people.

The journo concludes Romania is getting fame from vampires, but the homeland of vampires should be Serbia. – Romanian Times

UFO caught on New York sky watch camera

(Before It's News)

A Newburgh, NY, witness reported videotaping a round UFO on a security DVR system, according to testimony in Case 59920 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness has four cameras set up outside for sky watching and data is analyzed the following day after all the footage is recorded using a Security DVR.

“On the evening of September 16, 2014, at approximately 9:08 p.m. EST, a round, circular object was seen on Camera 4 moving from the east to west directly overhead,” the witness stated.

“This lasted approximately 11 seconds.”

The witness described the object.

“The object was near or at cloud level, left no visible trail and had no navigation lights. The object was quite large and when it passed through or close to clouds, it created a round, tight ring around it. It seemed to be rotating due to the tight ring of clouds that surrounded it.”

The witness also mentioned one unusual characteristic of the object.

“It also seemed to be emitting some type of energy or particles as it traveled to the west. It made no sound and the camera lost the object after it moved out of view.”

The witness uploaded one video with the MUFON report, which was filed on September 19, 2014.

Newburgh is a city located in Orange County, New York, population 28,861. MUFON New York is investigating. New York has a current UFO Alert Rating of 3 with a high number of recent reports nationally. New York had 39 UFO reports in August 2014 – the 3rd highest reporting state – while California had 99 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 150 or more reports for the month are rated an Alert 1; states with 100 or more reports are rated an Alert 2; 25 reports or more for the month are rated an Alert 3; 13 or more reports are rated an Alert 4; and those states with less than 13 reports for the month are an Alert 5.

Incredible UFOs  Light  Up The Sky Over Cardiff   (Video And Photos)

(Before It's News) 

(N.Morgan) The skies all over the world have been active with more UFO activity, than we’ve seen in recent years. This time, an incredible UFO fires up the skies over Cardiff. A plane passenger coming back from holiday was captivated by these strange hovering lights which he watched for several minutes from his plane window as his flight approached Cardiff. The 29-year old said: “We were flying from Greece to Cardiff. It was on Tuesday night and happened about 20­ to 40 minutes before we arrived at 10pm.

Witness account: The lights could have been from a few miles away – it was pitch black outside, so it’s hard to say what it was. “It was quite weird. It was very bright, it was the brightest thing I’ve ever seen. I just realized how bright it was and said to my girlfriend ‘look at that!’ “I was staring at it for a while before I picked up my phone to film it, but it was there for about three or four minutes. “I thought it maybe could have been lanterns, but they didn’t go away, they kept flying til I couldn’t see them anymore. “I really have no idea what it could have been – it was just really, really bright. “UFO is a really broad term. That’s what it is, you know, an unidentified flying object.”

UFO 'Five Miles Wide' Caught Hovering Above The Ocean In NASA Photo                                

Brace yourselves for inanity.

Someone has found a five-mile-wide black disc hovering over the ocean in a NASA photograph.

Our friends at UFO Sightings Daily, a blog somehow able to deliver 'MIND BLOWING!' content on the greatest conspiracies in human history once every 24 hours, published news of the find on Thursday.

The disc was discovered in a picture taken November 2013, the original (much darker) version of which is still available on NASA's website.

The website says that while the UFO appears to be above the ocean, it's actually hiding underneath it - though not very well, clearly.

Here's a before and after (NASA pic on the left):

And the pic of interest itself:

"This shows a massive stealth black disk over the ocean. The dimensions are almost perfect. Streetcap1 of Youtube found this one and I have to say its beyond words. This UFO looks to be more than 5-7 miles across. Since it is over the ocean area, the only place that it could hide without being noticed is below the ocean."

They also published the video analysis of the image, which we've embedded above.

Needless to say there are numerous other possibilities here, including camera glitches, gaps missed by the process of stitching together smaller images to make a large enough one to publish, and interference.

Either way there is no evidence of five-mile-wide stuff hiding under the ocean. Unless you include Atlantis. Which is also not true.

Daily 2 Cents: Two Men Go Missing For 7 Hours in Roswell — The Jersey Shore Shark Attacks of 1916 — Arcane Radio Update

(Before It's News)

Two Men Go Missing For 7 Hours in Roswell

After no victims were found at the scene of a one-car rollover accident in Roswell this week, crews had to rush back hours later when the driver said he woke up surrounded by donkeys in a field.

Two men rolled their vehicle in the median of U.S. 70 west near mile marker 324 Friday at about 2 a.m., according to state police.

Multiple fire and police agencies went to the scene, but couldn’t find victims. Seven hours later, at about 9 a.m., 911 dispatchers got a call from a man who said he was lost and had been in a car accident that morning.

The man said he and the passenger were drinking the night before and didn’t remember what happened next, according to state police. He also said he woke up in a field next to some donkeys.

The driver, whose identity hasn’t been released, suffered injuries to a shoulder and his hands. Police said the passenger suffered back injuries.

The driver was issued multiple citations, but the charges haven’t been released. – KOAT

UPDATED:

A driver and his passenger mysteriously vanished for several hours and had no memory of what happened.

The two men had been involved in a car accident in which their vehicle had rolled down an embankment, but when paramedics arrived on the scene to offer assistance they were perplexed to discover that the car was empty and that the men could not be found anywhere around the crash site.

The mystery only deepened when, seven hours later, the pair allegedly awoke in a field of donkeys with no idea of how they got there or where they’d been for the preceding time period.

The town of Roswell itself has long been associated with the unexplained ever since a mysterious object was believed to have crashed there in 1947, an event that has been at the center of conspiracy theories and speculation for the better part of 65 years.

It isn’t clear exactly what happened to the two men in this latest incident, but based on a police report suggesting that the men had been drinking heavily before the crash, it seems that alcohol, rather than extraterrestrial visitors, may have been the primary culprit. More at THP

Oklahoma official suggests public executions

Tulsa County Assessor Ken Yazel suggests public hangings in the town square to reduce crime.

Why stop with public hangings?

Yazel wasn’t clear where Tulsa’s town square is located, but I’ll assume it’s Bartlett Square on Main and Fifth streets.

With the water foundation, criminals could be waterboarded in front of a crowd.

How about going all William Wallace and have them hanged, drawn and quartered?

Stoning could be a possibility, but that requires crowd participation.

Burning at the stake is an oldie but goodie. The city could handle two problems at once, if officials use residential green waste as fuel to the fire.

This is such a perfectly medieval idea, it seems a waste to stop at lawbreakers.

To my knowledge, Tulsa has never had an old-fashioned witch hunt. This is not a metaphor. Real witches.

According to the 18th century B.C. Code of Hammurabi, a float test was effective in ferreting out those practicing black magic.

Since there is rarely water in the Arkansas River, the Tulsa townsfolk will have to rely on Big Splash.

The alleged witches could be shot down the big slide and then we’ll see if they float or not.

Clearly, Yazel’s idea is not only morbid but so out-of-touch that it’s silly.

Execution is still a legal punishment for certain types of murder in Oklahoma. It is a punishment taken seriously to the point of multiple mandated court appeals and oversight.

It’s so strictly governed that the state gained international notoriety when it failed the execution protocols a few months ago. The state is still trying to figure out how to move forward with legal executions.

Yazel’s comments, which he has not backed away from, came during a discussion at a public Budget Board county meeting about the scheduling of jury trials, jail overcrowding and crime rate.

By throwing out ideas like public hangings doesn’t add anything to the legitimate conversation.

The Huldra Legend

In Scandinavian folklore, the Huldra is a seductive forest creature. Male hulders do appear, called Huldrekall. Like the female counterpart, the huldrkall is a shapeshifter who often lures girls under a fair countenance (Glamour). Both male and female hulder could be revealed as rather ugly when the glamour was lifted from them.

In some traditions, the huldra lures men into the forest to have sexual intercourse with her, rewarding those who satisfy her and often killing those who do not. The Norwegian huldra is a lot less bloodthirsty and may simply kidnap a man or lure him into the underworld. She sometimes steals human infants and replaces them with her own ugly huldrebarn. In some cases, the intercourse resulted in a child, being presented to the unknowing father. In some cases, she forces him to marry her.

The Jersey Shore Shark Attacks of 1916

The Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916 were a series of shark attacks along the coast of New Jersey between July 1 and July 12, 1916, in which four people were killed and one injured. Since 1916, scholars have debated which shark species was responsible and the number of animals involved, with the great white shark and the bull shark most frequently being blamed. The attacks occurred during a deadly summer heat wave and polio epidemic in the northeastern United States that drove thousands of people to the seaside resorts of the Jersey Shore. Shark attacks on the Atlantic Coast of the United States outside the semitropical states of Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas were rare, but scholars believe that the increased presence of sharks and humans in the water led to the attacks in 1916.

Local and national reaction to the attacks involved a wave of panic that led to shark hunts aimed at eradicating the population of “man-eating” sharks and protecting the economies of New Jersey’s seaside communities. Resort towns enclosed their public beaches with steel nets to protect swimmers. Scientific knowledge about sharks before 1916 was based on conjecture and speculation. The attacks forced ichthyologists to reassess common beliefs about the abilities of sharks and the nature of shark attacks.

SPIRIT MIMICS OR VISITORS FROM OTHER DIMENSIONS? by Brad Steiger.

Gary said that he was driving back to Redlands, California. Both of the lumberjacks nodded in unison. The one who had not yet spoken said, That’s nice. That’s a nice drive. You will enjoy it. Gary could not shake the feeling that he had walked into an automated display at Disneyland or some other amusement park. None of the people in the place looked quite real,î he said. ìIf I would have really thought about it at the time, it probably would have freaked me out. The All-American Mom asked him what he liked to eat.  More.. Also read: SPIRIT MIMICS OR VISITORS FROM OTHER DIMENSIONS? – PART II.

ABOUT QUETZALCOATI AND QUENTIN  by Lester Maverick.

Perhaps you might be intrigued by how Quentin (his space name) became the legendary god Quetzalcoatl in South America. So here are some blurbs that I wrote about it. Quentin is a real to life extraterrestrial SUPERMAN originally from the fifth Spectran dimension with all the super powers of a superman! Also Quentin is a grade 5 personal representative of the Council of Guardians who are a kind of a group mind of super beings who are the elder BROTHERS of humanity everywhere in multiple universes… More… Also read: SUBJECT: WHO ARE THE PSYCHEANS?.

UFO WAS 'BIGGER THAN A HOUSE' CLAIM MISSOURI WITNESSES  by Roger Marsh.

Missouri witnesses in Joplin reported watching a silent, boxy object “bigger than a house” traveling about 300 feet off of the ground about 9:15 p.m. on July 8, 2014, according to testimony in Case 57853 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database. The husband and wife reporting witnesses were traveling home when they noticed a man in the street trying to flag them down and pointing to the sky. More….

A BRASS COLORED DISC OVER LAKE ERIE  by Cheryl Costa.

A high school student witnesses a brass colored disc over Lake Erie but it would be 57 years before we would know the depth of his sighting. On the afternoon of September 20th 1957 in Buffalo, NY a Northbound Niagara Street bus had just dropped Steven at this corner on his way home from high school. As he started to walk the short block to his house on Prospect, something blinking caught his attention. More….

NAKLA METEORITE GIVES POSSIBLE EVIDENCE OF LIFE ON MARS EXISTS  by Carolyn Shield.

Scientists took one more step closer to confirming that the possibility of life on Mars. The Nakla meteorite which fell to Earth over a century ago revealed to a team of scientists “a fossilized biological cell”. Its structure resembles biological cells on Earth. More...

THE CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF MARIA ELODIA PRETZEL  by Scott Corrales.

Despite our best efforts, it can be difficult to obtain follow-up material for every single case, especially those that occurred decades ago. A casual reading of the October 1983 issue of UFOPRESS, however, kicked up an article by our friend Alejandro Agostinelli about the Pretzel CE-3 case. The article’s original title: “La incredible y triste historia de la cándida Elodia y de su padre el desalmado” (The Incredible and Sad Story of Fair Elodia and Her Heartless Father ) is a nod to novelist Gabriel García Márquez’s “Eréndira” – To read the original case, please see “Argentina: The 1968 Night Visitor” at http://inexplicata.blogspot.com/2010/06/venturing-into-dark-vaults-of-south.html — SC]  More…  

“I SEE DEAD COWS” – TOWARD A MUTILATED VISION OF REALITY  by Alejandro Agostinelli.

They return every so often, especially when the weather grows cold and the media runs out of stuff to talk about, or the story runs afoul of a hungry editor starving for a juicy ration of paranormal ghoulishness. The flaps of “cow mutilations” or cases involving “cattle mutilations” represent a branch phenomenon of popular ufology or the urge to find evidence of extraterrestrial activity on Earth. More...

BEWARE THE NEXT IMPENDING NUCLEAR CRISIS  by Robert Salas.

Immersing oneself in the world of the unidentified flying object can be exciting, illuminating, stimulating , and enlightening. That very same world, however, is filled to the brim with cold-hearted killers that will not think twice about taking you out of circulation, if such action is deemed absolutely necessary. And not all of those cold-hearted killers are human. More

IN 2014 HALF CAT MUTILATIONS CONTINUE by Chris Holly.

I had an extremely interesting summer off and wanted to return to writing about my experiences as soon as I returned to my blog. Sadly I feel as an animal lover and pet owner to once again do the right thing and report that I have had two more half cat reports during the last few weeks and feel it more important to start off my new fall season with this news in hopes it may somehow prevent this from continuing. I will bring my other articles on board soon. First let me deal with this disturbing issue.  More..

THE METAPHYSICS OF GHOST RESCUE  by Paul Schroeder.

I have heard astonishing things most unverifiable about Heaven, from odd PSYCHIC MEDIUMS: Too heavy smokers retain visibly black lungs, the vain- cosmetic- surgery- addicted, sport disfigured countenances, those too rich, ornate and gaudy, appear homely and threadbare. That is, according to some PSYCHICS, there is an inverse relationship between our aspects, after death, in an astral world, that mirrors and reflect our damages, foolishness and wrong values, from the life most recently departed. More…

LAWS OF THE COSMOS BEINGS by Theresa J Morris.

Gary said that he was driving back to Redlands, California. Both of the lumberjacks nodded in unison. The one who had not yet spoken said, That’s nice. That’s a nice drive. You will enjoy it.

MUFON INVESTIGATORS WIFE SPOTS A TRIANGLE OVER SOUTH JERSEY

(Before It's News)

MUFON INVESTIGATORS WIFE SPOTS TRIANGLE OVER NEW JERSEY
JUNE 4, 2009     ………     WOODSTOWN NEW JERSEY

Kelly Pfeifer sighted a large black triangle, with lights on the bottom at the topof the hill, on route 40 just outside of Woodstown, going towards Pole Tavern.  She said the triangle hovered over a house on the other side of the road.  It made no noise and Kelly watched it for 5 minutes before she decided to get out of there. The object was the size of a soft ball at arms length.  This is a very busy road at night with truck traffic . The time was approximately 9 pm.  She was looking out her rolled down window from the drivers side and had a clear view of the triangle.  The underside of the triangle was lit with rectangle lights [ see illustration ].  The lights were bright but not blinding.  She could not tell if the middle of the triangle was filled in due to the lights.  The sky was crystal clear.  Kelly was coming home from her hair dresser in Pennsville.  Kelly told me about the incident the NEXT day. 
KEN’S NOTE:  We have has some strange sightings in this part of South Jersey.  Salem nuclear plant is only 16 miles from the Woodstown area.

3-25-12 WOODSTOWN NEW JERSEY
 The object was in the southern sky about 2 fists above the horizon and 250 degrees off the Woodstown VOR ( OOD ) . The altitude was around 8000 -10000 feet. The object was in a hoover mode for around 1 hr then slowly moved further south and climbed to a higher UKN altitude. On sunday around 10:30 pm the object appeared in the same spot and had the same flight pattern. While observing this object, a large aircraft was just below the object mentioned and had the ” usual ” aircraft NAV lights on it as it moved across the night sky. The object did not change its hoover mode during the other aircraft passing. The object would only flash the colors Light Blue, Light Green, and Red in its shape. On 3-25-12 the Millville Flight Services was called around 10:45 to report this matter. There was no further calls or reports from them as of the following day.
