Earlier today my buddy Nick Redfern sent me a link to a photo (right) of a humanoid “cryptid” he had posted on his blog recently, which in reality is one of a bizarre series of statues that adorn the twists and turns of a particular cave system open for tours below England. “What was interesting was the intricately woven tale that accompanied the picture when it was mailed to me,” Nick recounts. “I forget the precise details now, but it all revolved around the claim that intelligent, sword-wielding cryptids were roaming the many and varied caves that exist deep below the British Isles. The letter ran to 2 or 3 pages – and was, of course, all complete nonsense. So, if you too have ever been on the receiving end of this photo, just enjoy it for what it is: a piece of man-made entertainment and nothing else!”
Recently I also received an email from a Gralien Report reader named Jacob with some questions about my views regarding the biblical Nephilim; especially in conjunction with reports of hominid relics and cryptozoology, as well as tensions building in the great surge toward 2012. According to Mark Wickstrom in his book The Gospel of Grace, there are three common views regarding what the Nephilim were:
1) They were the offspring of fallen angels and human women.
2) They were the hybrid offspring of descendants of Seth with those of Cain.
3) They are not historical figures and are ancient imagery with questionable meaning.

Several nights ago Ian Punnett interviewed Jack Horner about breakthrough research that may lead to recreation of dinosaurs during the weekend edition of the popular late-night radio program Coast to Coast AM. However, throughout the program, several calls were coming from concerned listeners regarding the frightening outbreaks of Swine Flu being reported in the middle Americas, as well as parts of the US. Later on Sunday, Punnett commented at his blog on Associated Press reports saying “that now 8 more Americans have joined the ranks of close to 1000 Mexicans who are known victims of the swine flu, 68 of whom have died.”
A lot of what is so frightening about this new strain of Swine Influenza has to with its as-of-yet unknown origins. One proposed theory involves Asian and European strains which may have traveled to Mexico via migratory birds (or possibly even infected humans), which then combined with North American strains in Mexican pig factory farms. Farm workers at these locations then may have been exposed to the virus. Mexican health agency officials have also suggested that “flies multiplying in manure lagoons of pig farms near Perote, Veracruz” may have also provided a medium for the spread of this new strain.

For months now, those who prescribe to the latest info regarding solar activity have been aware that the last twelve months or so have given us some noticeably odd behavior so far as our Sun is concerned. For the most part, this has had to do with a sheer lack of solar activity, specifically an almost non-existent amount of sunspots visible on the solar surface, prompting a few of us to consider whether we might be experiencing the proverbial “calm before the storm”; that is, a period of extreme inactivity just prior to something massive and potentially catastrophic.
Now scientists are warning of a “huge solar storm” capable of knocking out our electrically-dependent urban epicenters around the globe. Though no conclusive evidence suggests that we can expect this for certain, the threat of such a possibility alone has many scientists concerned. News sources reported today that such a catastrophe would be “a nightmarish scenario that could include failures of transportation, communication and financial systems; shutdowns of government services; and a lack of safe drinking water, food and medication.”

AOL News is now reporting on former NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell’s most recent admission that aliens are visiting Earth. According the AOL News piece, “Earth Day may fall later this week, but as far as former NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell and other UFO enthusiasts are concerned, the real story is happening elsewhere. Mitchell, who was part of the 1971 Apollo 14 moon mission, asserted Monday that extraterrestrial life exists, and that the truth is being concealed by the United States and other governments.”
‘We’re Not Alone,’ Ex-Astronaut Says
According to recent AOL polls, 73% of those participating believe aliens have visited Earth, while 17% say they doubt it, and another 10% remain undecided.
