Strange Phenomena: Attack of the Near-Earth Objects
In the wake of the the horrific Hatian Earthquake that occurred yesterday, news sources have been alerting people around the world to the extremities of the disaster at hand. Please take time today to send thoughts and prayers to those who have been devastated by this terrible act of nature, and consider helping with relief efforts in some capacity, for which coordination will begin in the days to come.
In the meantime, while damage repair takes place here on Terra Firma, Space.com reported on a series of two “strange near-Earth objects” that drifted close to home in the wee hours Wednesday morning. Due to several strange elements pertaining to the object’s path (at present, it is believed to be an asteroid), there was nonetheless speculation that it may have been “artificial,” likely a satellite or portion of some other man-made craft sent into orbit in the past.
Those of you who own amateur skywatching equipment haven’t missed your opportunity yet, however. 2010 AL30, as the object has been called, “is not the only space rock passing relatively close by Earth this week,” the website confirms. “Another recently discovered object, known as 2010 AG30, will zip by the planet on Thursday. But that asteroid is about 43 feet (13 meters) wide, and will pass by at a comfortable distance of about 650,000 miles (1 million km) from Earth, NASA scientists said.”
Sightings of such objects no doubt lend themselves to theories and speculation involving UFOs. For instance, back in 2006, an unusual (and unidentified) object seen orbiting near the Space Shuttle caused so much concern that a landing was postponed temporarily. The report read as follows:
No one knows what it is – the mysterious gray round object orbiting near the space shuttle Atlantis at an altitude of 187 nautical miles. Flight controllers first noticed the object early this morning at 2:45 AM, and were so concerned they had the shuttle crew delay stowing the KU TV antenna so the crew could downlink more video of the mysterious object.
Space Shuttle program manager Wayne Hale later suggested it was merely a plastic bag that escaped from the shuttle’s cargo bay. Nonetheless, wording such as, “What is it? Is it something benign?” as used around the same time by Fox News, can appear to indicate more than intended.
Numerous videos showing various reflective debris in space has been likened to seas of UFOs swimming around our space operations in the past, although NASA presently denies that UFO craft are often witnessed during spacewalks and other activities while in orbit. Nonetheless, there are also the many reports issued by astronauts over the years pertaining to strange objects seen outside Earth’s atmosphere, as shown in the videos below, the first of which features Gordon Cooper, who claimed to see “hundreds” of high altitude craft over a day and a half period, as well as a film being made of a small saucer:
Similarly, Buzz Aldrin described encountering UFOs in space:
At present, the 2010 AL30 is believed to be an asteroid; however, aside from sporadic referrals to it being a “space rock”, NASA’s official responses have been carefully worded to indicate that the object, whatever it may be, remains unidentified.

Well, we’re still here… so lets carry on
Aldrin’s declaration has always struck me as a bit odd. It could be debated whether the Apollo 11 crew acted irresponsibly with their ‘over-cautiosness’ to report the anomalous object, or not. Because even though they were aware millions of people would get to hear whatever words they would say, the fact is that they didn’t *know* what the object was, and if said object could prove to be a hazard to the mission —what if it was a Russian automatic vessel programmed to ram against Apollo?
One would think the astronatus had the dury to inform Houston of any anomalous incident they were facing, no matter how strange or seemingly trivial.
So maybe we haven’t heard the whole story yet. Maybe they were debriefed on the possibility of a UFO encounter during the trip to the Moon prior launch.

It is interesting that astronomers who actually know nothing at all about these objects other than analytical data, would like to tell us ‘what’ they are (i.e. assign identity to them). This is, approximately equivalent to showing your prowess in knowledge and analysis by proclaiming that ‘the author of this email was most likely a human being’. Such is often the power of science in the face of the almost completely unknown (Nature/Creation).
Now, if you actually wanted to know something about the author of this post (a rather silly goal), you would have to leave scientists out of it — and find -non-experts- who were -directly acquainted with me-.
In this case, there are myriads of non-experts who are acquainted with 2010 AL30 and 2010 AG30. One of their first mentions is in early Genesis. Cain, a rather obstreperous lad, kills his brother Abel (who becomes ‘firstborn in the land of the dead).
Here’s where things get a bit strange. The sun is not Adam, per se. And yet, the sun IS a ‘man, from whom you may take a rib, and make for him a help-meet’ (literally, something to help him meet other orbital individuals and ‘beings’).
After Earth was made, she too had ‘some rings’ from the ‘marriage’, and two of these were destroyed. The third remains. Seeming dead, it is not. Seeming inert, it is not.
See, we have this story about a ‘dirty servant girl’ who had ‘beautiful stepsisters’. Her name was ‘cinder-ella’. She had a ‘fairy godmother’ who was to help her ‘get to a ball on time’. No dress was more beautiful than Jupter’s. No rings more amazing than Saturn’s. Even Mars had a red dress!
That ‘fairy godmother’ was the moon. And we are the children of her and the prince of the ‘glass slipper’ (probably an ice slipper?).
In any case: These two orbitals are known to indigenous peoples around the world. The Navaho Medicine Men know them as ‘Slayer of Alien Gods’ (an insane warrior who has become schizophrenic from having to kill his own children in order to protect the Sun/Earth marriage) and the other one is usually not so specifically named, but is something like ‘little (white) dripping-water of moon-rabbit’. Both are associated with lightning-power (very dangerous) and ‘the appearance of balls of floating lights’
Slayer is referred to as ‘leviathan’ in the bible. An invisible monster with a single foot, whose movements cause earthquakes, floods, and rendings of the sky. Since he is really a tiny NEO – who can ‘draw him out’?
The other brother is … much more mysterious.
During certain cycles, the approach and departure of these ‘ancient twins’ (also known as mercury – and very toxic to meet in person!) triggers something in the Earth which can be seen as analogous to ‘menstruation’. This has long been known, and every modern civilization has forgotten it.
Oh, here’s a tidbit. One of the Reindeer has always been hidden. And ‘Rudolf’? That’s actually ‘Slayer of Alien Gods’!
Gee, thanks science!

P.s. I should add that this case is still an evolving mystery, and that many of the elements of my above posting may change or be transformed by further information from non-expert sources. Perhaps most importantly, I cannot speak for the Navaho — and my research in that area has been clumsy due to lack of contact with actual Navaho chanters (without which one must presume my crude assembly of the pieces of this puzzle to be very incomplete).
