Read aloud, the title of this post may seem slightly provocative, and upon further reading, for many it may constitute outright silliness, as what we’re dealing with here has primarily to do with insects and Forteana. Reports in this category range from synchronistic occurrences involving insects, to the literal appearance of so-called “Mantis Men” in concurrence with UFO abductions and altered states (there are even a few reports that divulge these creatures appearing under rather normal circumstances). But what prompted the notion of focusing on this weird subject here actually stems from what otherwise might have been an inconsequential experience of my own, which occurred only a few days ago.

If we could narrow our sights in such a way that we could view single atoms, the tiny little particles that comprise all matter and make up our universal abode, we would come very quickly to the startling realization that we’re all ghosts, in a sense. What we take to be tangible things, in reality, are mostly empty space between the tiny protons and electrons comprising the minutiae of our world. Even those tiny particles are themselves just energetic forms, vibrating at varying degrees of human detectability. All things we know of and interact with are comprised solely of energy, and are far less tangible than we realize.
Putting things in perspective, imagine if we took the tiny bundle of protons and neutrons that shape the nucleus of any single atom, and enlarged them until they were the size of a golf ball. The orbit of the electrons swirling around the atom’s exterior would circle our humble little golf ball in an area as large as the planet Earth at very least. Indeed, there’s a good bit of emptiness that exists between the nucleus and those electrons firing about out there, and thus it becomes easy to understand how stray neutrinos can be hurtling through space at any time, passing through the gaps between the very stuff that makes up our brains and bodies. We can see easily how electromagnetic fields can permeate thick walls of buildings and infrastructure, and why only certain metals of extraordinary molecular density can shield us from harmful energetic radiation of the variety that transforms men into monsters in the comics and pulp novels of yesteryear.

If you’ve followed my posts here and at Mysterious Universe, or if you’ve heard any recent interviews with me on shows like Bill and Nancy Birnes’ Future Theater, you may already know that I’m very excited about the release of a new UFO anthology by New Page Books called Exposed, Uncovered and Declassified: UFOs and Aliens. This will be one of three in a series of such anthologies that New Page Books will be releasing over the coming months, and for which I’m very proud to be contributing a series of essays that range from topics like UFO invisibility to potential links between psychosis and psychic phenomenon.
I’ve just received word, however, that it looks like there may also be an opportunity for budding writers out there who’d like their own research to be highlighted alongside the likes of Erich Von Daniken, Nick Redfern, Marie D. Jones, Larry Flaxman, and even yours truly. The third installment of this trifecta of awesomeness will be open to submissions from one (or possibly more) “slush contributors.”

Can you imagine how you’d exist in a world without any electricity? Consider the following scenario: you walk outside one morning, and realize you’ve overslept because your alarm didn’t go off. In fact, your alarm wasn’t even on, because there doesn’t seem to be power in your neighborhood. But something else is amiss here; there’s a deadly silence in the air. You realize there are no sounds of horns honking or the steady hum of traffic on the roadways nearby… just the distant chattering of frantic voices. You go back inside to call a friend, or a family member, just anyone… but your cell phone won’t turn on either.
If this were you, would you have begun to feel the creeping panic of knowing that the entire world had apparently been shut off, as simply as switching a great master switch? The really frightening thing about this scenario, however, is that it could actually happen.
