The Gralien Report

A wise man once said, “Necessity is the mother of invention.” In fact, many a wise-guy has made this claim in his lifetime, but I like to take this statement from time to time and re-shape it into the following: Supposition is the Mother of Invention.

What I mean by this (and going ahead and diving into the meat of this subject, I’m going to tie it in with UFOs early on) is that many scientists over the last several decades, based on what they observe in science fiction, have created advanced scientific instrumentation which not only mirrored fiction, but helped make it into fact. For instance, in the fiction of authors like Arthur C. Clark, technologically advanced apparatus like radio communications satellites, video conferencing, and “smart” machines were all incorporated prior to their design and practical use in the modern world. Along these same lines, a handful of physicists have been also looking at reports of UFOs and trying to figure out how they operate, based on witness testimony.

I received an email from Gralien Report correspondent Marvin Bishop today that mentioned Harold E. Puthoff, an American physicist known for his “alternative” approaches to gravitational physics, general relativity, and quantum mechanics which often involve things commonly referred to as paranormal.

I’ve seen this video making the rounds lately on Youtube and other popular video sites. Now, here for your enjoyment, is a link to the popular “CCTV 8-foot tall alien” video that resulted in three police cars responding to a sighting of a large creature walking the streets of Bournemouth, UK.

That’s no joke: as reported yesterday by the San Francisco Chronicle, the Martian lander has detected snowflakes falling from the skies above the red planet:

Scientists studying the coded signals from the lander Phoenix on the planet’s arctic surface detected the snow falling lightly from clouds drifting across the sky some 2 1/2 miles above the spacecraft, said James Whiteway, an atmospheric scientist from York University in Canada.

“Nothing like this has ever been seen on Mars before,” he said.

So one must ask; if indeed snow can fall on the red planet, then how soon until Hell DOES freeze over? Probably not until the evil Deros that live in Earth’s center finally perfect the cold fusion devices they plan to implement in their plans for world domination…

Stevenage, Croydon, Wrexham, Barnoldswick, Chorley… what do all these towns have in common? It’s simple: they are all towns in the UK where UFOs have been reported in the last 24 hours.

Granted, a couple of these are actually the locations where recent UFO sightings have turned out to be fakes, like Barnoldswick, where strange lights witnessed recently turned out to be merely “floating lanterns”. Still, the fact remains that the majority of the news about UFOs appearing in the media lately has to do with sightings in the skies over England. I finally found one story which was indeed reported by a US paper, the McDowell News (based out Marion, N.C. of all places… this is within 50 miles of where I live). But wait, then there’s the title of the piece: “Britain has its own Roswell incident.” Wow.

As a result, many British celebrities are coming forward stating that they believe in UFOs, including singer Robbie Williams, as well as Jennifer Ellison, winner of the “Rear of the Year” award, as reported by The Sun. Why is there so much UFO activity in England this year? Are there really extraterrestrials buzzing Big Ben, or are bored teenagers merely having a go with these ever-popular “Chinese lanterns”?

Now this is truly and anomalous… normally I’m sending links and stories to the Anomalist, the popular website of Patrick Huyghe, of which Rick Stokes is the news editor. However, today (perhaps due to a magnetic polarity shift in Earth’s sun?) Rick emailed me quite an interesting idea for a change! Here’s what my he had to say, regarding to the story I had been following about the strange geometric shape of the recent sunspot that appeared after a month-long absence of plasmoid activity on the solar surface:

Oddly enough, the sunspot looks as though it has more than four sides.  If it’s a hexagon, it fits into the Electric Universe model that says the Sun is electric, not a fusion-fueled object. There’s more about electricity in space at http://www.thunderbolts.info.

This is interesting stuff… could it be that this “electric universe” model is actually what’s going on… and might this explain why hexagonal shapes are continuing to appear elsewhere in space?

Apollo 17, the eleventh and final moon mission launched by NASA in December of 1972, remains the most recent lunar landing in the history of man’s exploration of space. Its intent, as defined within a later Apollo Program Summary Report, was aimed at “extensive scientific exploration of (the) moon on (the) lunar surface and from lunar orbit.” However, is there evidence that suggests later moon missions could have taken place, or is this merely one of many popular conspiracies involving alleged U.S. lunar activity (or the lack thereof, according to some scenarios)?

In a Gralien Report article I did back in June, I described a conversation I had with a journalist friend of mine named Jim Marrs, who in books like Alien Agenda and his newest work, The Rise of the Fourth Reich, discusses certain alleged government activities along these lines. In the article, I also mentioned a fellow by the named of William Rutledge, who via information released in messages from a Youtube account he had created, claimed to have been working for NASA during the 1970s on three supposed missions to the dark side of the moon, unofficially named Apollo missions 18, 19 and 20. These missions are only alleged to have taken place; Apollo missions 18-20 are known to have been cancelled due to budget constraints, though they did receive some level of initial planning. Here’s where it gets interesting, however: in an unique turn of events, I was recently contacted by an Italian journalist named Luca Scantamburlo who not only did the original interview with the man claiming to be Rutledge via Youtube, but who has continued to report on the matter at his website, http://www.angelismarriti.it.

In August, Michael Asher of the science blog at Daily Tech reported on a “milestone not seen for nearly 100 years” with regard to Earth’s Sun: an entire month had passed without a single visible sunspot being observed. “According to data from Mount Wilson Observatory, UCLA, more than an entire month has passed without a spot,” Asher said. ”The last time such an event occurred was June of 1913. Sunspot data has been collected since 1749.”

But this “sunshine-silence” wasn’t to be held for long.

Recent photographs, taken by the Big Bear Solar Observatory in Big Bear, California, depict what appears to be a bizarre ”square” sunspot on the sun’s surface. At the Data4Science website, author Ted Twietmeyer said of the object, “What’s quite amazing about this sunspot (which no one is talking about,) is that this sunspot appears to have a square geometry.”

Here’s a press release I recieved earlier from my pal Nick Redfern:

NEWS RELEASE

FROM: The Texas Research & Information Bureau

TO: All News Outlets

FOR RELEASE: Immediately

FIRST TEXAS U FIND OUT FORUM SET FOR OCT. 25

FORT WORTH, TX – Responding to increasing serious interest by the public concerning the issue of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO), the Texas Research & Information Bureau (TRIB) has scheduled a forum on the subject featuring four area authorities.

Gralien Report correspondent Mobius has sent this along, along with the cryptic message I included as the title of this blog:

Here come the balloons again

Have a look at that “artist’s interpretation” included with the report… need we say more?

A woman from Round Lake Beach, Illinois, recently attacked her husband, striking his head with a hammer, because “she thought he was an alien trying to kill her.”

“She thought he was an alien,” police said Friday

The woman, presenly being held in the Lake County Jail, will be undergoing psychological evaluation, after authorities found evidence of prescription medications for mental illness in her home.

Officials told the Lake County News-Sun“It was a bizarre case, however, it is an unfortunate one because this did not have to happen.”
