Otherwise, the apparent magnetic signature is strongly indicative of an unrecognized craton with prospects for copper nickel mineralization.
It is certainly deserving of study, but also detailed geological mapping and core testing to determine geology which may be well buried.
"MEXICO'S ZONE OF SILENCE"
"by Scott Corrales"
http://www.strangemag.com/zonsilence.html"
"There exist a number of "accursed sites" on the surface of our planet. Some of these locations are the sites of gravitational or atmospheric disturbances that still remain unexplained by twentieth century science. Such anomalous areas possess properties which interfere sporadically with humans and their equipment. One area worthy of mention surrounds the Mediterranean island of Elba (famous for being Napoleon's first place of exile), and is the bane of maritime aviation in the Mediterranean; another spot is Mt. Stredohori in Czechoslovakia, where an unknown force drains car engines of power throughout the length of a 75-foot stretch of road."
However, we need not travel so far to encounter a part of the world that is even more perplexing than these others, although it remains little known to most people: Mexico's mysterious, magical zona del silencio--the Zone of Silence, just four hundred miles away from El Paso, Texas. Deserts are often considered to be mysterious enough without the added weirdness that this patch of earth some four hundred miles from El Paso has to offer. It is a place which gobbles up radio and TV signals, and which has of late been associated with the UFO phenomenon.
Centuries of Mystery
According to Dr. Santiago Garcia, there has been an awareness of the unusual properties of the area since the mid-nineteenth century, when farmers trying to eke out a living in the forbidding environment became aware of the "hot pebbles" which routinely fell to earth from the clear sky. In the 1930s, Francisco Sarabia, an aviator from the northern Mexican state of Coahuila, reported that his radio had mysteriously ceased to function, earning him the distinction of being the Zone of Silence's first victim.
Nonetheless, it wasn't until 1970 that the zone first entered public awareness when an American missile, an Athena, fired from the White Sands Missile Base, went off course inexplicably, heading for the Zone of Silence, where it ultimately crashed. A few years later, an upper stage from one of the Saturn boosters used on the Apollo project broke up over the very same area. The U.S, military sent a team down to the region to investigate its surprising natural properties.
Engineer Harry de la Pena was the first outsider to discover the zone and its perplexing radio interference properties. Humans have been resided in and around the scrub and cactus filled desert area since Prehistoric times, when an unknown tribe of natives clustered around a watering hole which is still in existence. The community of Ceballos, Durango, some 25 miles away, is the settlement nearest to the zone, and it is the starting point of any venture into its unreal atmosphere. The visitor will find vast expanses of flat terrain, pinpointed with thorny desert bushes and infested with poisonous snakes. No different from any other desert in that respect.
Pena and his group became aware of the "silence" when they found that it was impossible to communicate with one another via walkie-talkies: radio waves are not transmitted at the accustomed speed and frequency. Portable radios would emit but the lightest whisper when turned on at full volume. To this day, television signals cannot be received in Ceballos or in the neighboring ranches. Some magnetic force, with the power to dampen radio waves, seems to exist in the region.
Since the engineer's initial visit, scientists from around the world have visited the zone, flocking to the research facility erected at its very heart by the Mexican government. The zone's somewhat foreboding name has been changed to Mar de Tetys--The Sea of Thetys, due to the fact that it was once under water millions of years ago--and the research lab has been dubbed the "biosphere".
Curiously enough, the zone lies just north of the Tropic of Cancer and south of the 30th parallel, which places it in the company of a number of other planetary anomalies such as the Bermuda Triangle. UFOs and the presence of nonhuman life have been recorded in this anomalous region. Until a few years ago, there were people still alive who could remember having had encounters with allegedly extraterrestrial creatures in the early decades of this century.
Close Encounters
On October 13, 1975, Ernesto and Josefina Diaz, an enterprising couple, drove into the zone in a brand new Ford pickup to collect unusual rocks and fossils which can be found in great abundance. As they busied themselves in their activity, they noticed that a desert rainstorm was heading toward them. Hoping to avoid being caught in a flash flood, they wisely packed their vehicle up and sped off, but not fast enough to avoid the relentless rain: the track ahead of them turned into a swamp: the pickup was quickly trapped and began to sink in the soft terrain.
While the couple struggled to keep their vehicle from submerging into the mud, two figures approached them, waving at them amid the torrential rain. Two extremely tall men in yellow raincoats and caps, with unusual but by no means alarming features, offered their assistance to help them get underway again. The men instructed the totally drenched couple to get inside the pickup again while they pushed. Before the couple realized, their vehicle had popped out of the hole and on to firmer ground.
When the husband got out of the pickup once more to thank the two men, he realized they were gone. There were no footprints in evidence or any surface feature that could have concealed their departure.
Travelers crossing the zone regularly report seeing strange lights or fireballs maneuvering at night, changing colors, hanging motionless and then taking off at great speed. Two ranchers heading back from a festivity witnessed how a coruscant light floated down from the dark sky and disgorged humanoid occupants, who glowed with the same eerie light and were walking toward them. The ranchers broke into a frantic run.
Physical traces of these nocturnal visits can be found. One witness returned one morning to the site where he had seen the mysterious lights cavorting the previous night, and found that the scrub vegetation "had been set on fire". Dozens of similar reports emerge from the zone, told by reliable witnesses.
Dr. Santiago Garcia, who has devoted much of his life to the investigation of this anomalous region, has speculated that some of lights seen by the residents could well be from a roving vehicle left behind by the U.S. military, recharging its solar cells by day and conducting furtive analytical missions under cover of darkness. Garcia points out that when the Air Force came to collect the Athena missile's wreckage, they took along several truckloads of desert sand for analysis. There is the widespread belief that huge deposits of magnetite exist in the area, and that this iron ore is responsible for the dampening of electromagnetic waves. It has also been proven that considerable deposits of uranium exist in the mountains ranges fencing the Zone of Silence. In 1976, a visitor to the region took the first photograph ever of a UFO landed near a topographic feature known as "Magnet Hill" by the locals. The photos clearly show a shiny silver object resembling a large stewing pot. The lucky shutterbug was able to take more shots of the UFO as it rose upward with a roar, disappearing toward the west.
Yet not all of the "extraterrestrial" visitors have been as elusive. The staff of a small local ranch was visited regularly by three tall, blond, long- haired visitors--two males and one female--who were described as being polite to a fault, extremely handsome and dressed "in a funny way". Their Spanish was flawless and had a musical ring to it.
The reason for these visits was to secure water from the ranch's well: the "funny" visitors would ask their hosts to please fill their canteens with water, never requesting food or anything else. When asked where they came from, the visitors would limit themselves to smiling and saying "from above." Could these visitors be the "nordic" types referred to by ufologists? Spanish researcher Antonio Ribera described similar "Blonds" operating in the vicinity of Rosellon, in the Pyrenees, where they would only trouble their human hosts for bread and milk, paying for them with gold nuggets. Almost white-haired "nordics" were reported along the Sierra Nevada, in California, were they would come down to barter with townspeople every so often. There exists a connection of sorts between certain enigmatic deserts and these angel-like creatures.
Luis Ramirez Reyes will almost certainly never forget his own. During the month of November of 1978, Ramirez visited the Zone as part of a news team assigned to cover a story on the bizarre site.
Choosing to go ahead of the main team, Ramirez and his photographer charged into the desert, navigating by intuition rather than by hard knowledge of where their final destination was located: the "biosphere" constructed by the Mexican government, a laboratory dedicated to investigating the unusual biological life forms found in the area and to conducting psychic research.
No closer to their target than when their reckless impulse drove them into the wasteland, Ramirez became painfully aware that he lacked water or the provisions necessary to survive in this hostile environment should they become hopelessly lost. Having reached a "Y" intersection in the unpaved desert road, they had chosen the wrong one.
Suddenly, he noticed that there were three figures walking up ahead, coming toward them. Hoping that these locals might be able to point them toward the biosphere, the journalist told his companion, who was doing the driving, to slow down to talk to them. He was startled when the driver passed them by, as if not having seen them. "Ramirez began wondering if the desert hadn't gotten to him already. The trio were ordinary people, clad in the outfits usually worn by the inhabitants of that part of the country. As they drove along, he experienced the shock of running into them again--in a different part of the desert! Sternly ordering the photographer (who couldn't see anyone at all) to stop the car, Ram^0rez got his chance to speak to the three locals. He asked them if they had seen another vehicle like theirs in the area. They said that they hadn't, but that if they drove cross country amid the rocky desert terrain of the "Sea of Thetys" they would reach the biosphere. The three locals claimed to be out looking for some stray animals of theirs, but they had no water bottles or other gear that would indicate that they were able to survive in the menacing terrain."
After completing the cross-country trek, both men were relieved to find the structure of the biosphere rising in the distance. Upon arriving, and meeting up with their team, they discussed their unusual encounter in the desert with Harry de la Pena. In a sobering tone, Pena told them that there were no people in the desert who weren't part of the biosphere team and certainly no flocks for peasants to look for. An aerial survey in later days convinced the investigator of the utter desolation of the region that stretched for hundreds of miles. But if they weren't people, what were they?
"Nordic" visitors and other humanoids are not the only kind reported in the region. There have been sightings of oddly clad beings only a few feet in height as well. Ruben Lopez, driving through the zone one night in a van on his way to visit to a relative in Ceballos, noticed that his vehicle's engine began to sputter. This troubled him no end, as he had recently serviced the van. Abruptly, he became aware of five small figures that were standing along the roadside some hundred feet ahead. Lopez believed at first that they were lost children, until he noticed that they wore unusual silver one-piece outfits.
The little beings' heads were covered by helmets resembling those used by football players. Through the helmets' open front, Lopez could tell that they had adult faces. They approached the stalled van with curiosity, filling the driver with genuine fear: Lopez raced the van's engine in neutral, which caused the dwarfs to scatter into the desert darkness. The van continued functioning normally after the creatures had vanished.
The Archeological Enigma
The extremely ancient ruins in the Zone of Silence pose another disquieting enigma of their own. Archaeologists have been unable to determine their age, but they undoubtedly form an astronomical observatory thousands of years old. There is no connection between this Mexican Stonehenge and the primitive tribes that clustered around the watering hole which constitutes an oasis in the arid region. At some point in antiquity, someone was quite active in the Zone.
Perhaps they were interested, as are modern astronomers and geologists, in the large number of small meteorites that are attracted to the Zone's magnetic properties.
A meteorite that crashed in Chihuahua in the late 1950s contained crystalline structures that far outdated the Solar System itself. Researcher Luis Maeda Villalobos concluded that the meteorite contains "material as old as the Universe": Our solar system is some 6 billion years old, while the meteorite's age has been estimated at 13 billion years.
Whether we are dealing with UFOs, dimensional visitors who find the magnetic aberrations facilitate their journeys, or merely a poorly understood part of our world with unsuspected properties, no easy answers apply to the riddle posed by the Zone of Silence. The builders of the mysterious ruined observatory would have probably agreed.

Objects Seen From Miles Away
By KPHO.com5-29-09
PHOENIX -- UFOs that were visible from Queen Creek to Paradise Valley were identified late Thursday as more than a dozen electronic devices launched by the Space Data Corporation of Chandler.
Some people in Queen Creek, Mesa and Paradise Valley glanced out their windows Thursday morning and spotted a string of UFOs.
Starting around 6 a.m. CBS 5 News viewers reported seeing between five and 11 slow-moving, white lights in the sky.
The objects, which appeared to be balloons of some sort, were visible in the southern sky, due north. They could be seen for several hours.
"I thought it was stars at first, and they then started moving around," said Eleanor Maloney, who saw the lights. "Then I was not sure what I was looking at, at that point."
Phoenix Sky Harbor airport also reported receiving calls about the objects, though it was also unable to identify them.
The National Weather Service said it has no balloons nearby, and Vandenberg Air Force Base in California said it did not track any man-made objects in the area Thursday morning.
At the time of the report, NASA did not know what the objects were, either.
Around 7 a.m., a small device in a styrofoam box and a parachute landed near Phoenix-Mesa-Gateway Airport in Mesa.
The device was one of about 20 launched early Thursday morning.
CBS 5 News was told these devices are like small cell phone towers in the sky that help expand cell service in remote areas.
The Space Data Corporation said it has launched about 20,000 of these devices in the past five years.

Alien Animals Top Five Troubling Cryptids

Out of the ordinary Animals: Top Five Upsetting Cryptids
1 - Out of the ordinary BIG CATS
If you haven't seen a Big Cat, or Out of the ordinary Big Cat (ABC), then you on the order of clear in your mind assemble somebody who has. Cats higher than dogs obligation not carnival be wandering thereabouts the discipline in the UK and US, but display are too frequent eye-witness reports to artificial that it doesn't ensue. News broadcast preserve to prevail on a enjoyable pattern; they occur in a verdant categorize, and the supervisor freezes at what time observing a massive cat-like self which not eat darts off. Who wouldn't put to sleep taking into account faced amid what is it seems that a panther?
The most anticipated explanation for these equal sightings is that outlandish cats have been released in vogue the unruly by pitiful owners who importance that they'd strain virtuous pets.
2 - BIG Ignoble
Big Ignoble, as exemplified by the not respectable Patterson-Gimlin footage, is naturally an American mold but a similar phenomenon occurs all over the world. Abominable snowman, Abominable snowman and the Averse Snowman have appeared diagonally lands and cultures. Habitually not not rushed hostile, Big Ignoble is a massive man-like ape, often observed from far off migrant in inaccessible environments in North America. The Abominable snowman is, essentially, higher than an unacceptable gorilla; these beings are naturally understood to posses the rudimentary skills of hasty man, symptomatic of at minimum an undiscovered evolutionary demarcation of hominid.
Bountiful theories and explanations distribute to mark out these hominids, but what went before wooly footage, the weight of our indulgence of this construct of cryptid comes from rumour and footer justly than corporal evidence.
3 - El Chupacabra
Sooner than proverbial as 'The Goat Sucker, this Latin-American cryptid is a threat to have a supply of and possibly higher. Similes branch out, but it is naturally understood to be thereabouts the size of a human schoolgirl, examine like no matter which between a reptile and a canine, passionate like a kangaroo. Roughly Devilish attributes have been approved to it, specifically red eyes and a taint smell. Any physical that consumes a sustenance based on lighthearted blood, although, is anticipated to have an odour submission of positive portrayal...
This self, if it exists, is not naturally understood to be a grasp threat to humans, on the other hand. So Mexicans can relax; clasp up your goats, but your offspring are believably first-class.
4 - Primate Man of Delhi
The Primate Man of Delhi is less of a traditional footer and higher a accrual of related eye-witness reports. Around 2001, a four-foot bushy hominid was repeatedly seen thereabouts New Delhi trying the schedule incandescent red eyes and obnoxious makeup. Population suffered scratches, injuries and forthright leaving at what time being attacked or - higher usually - fleeing this purported cryptid. An artist's dimple of the self slipshod to cart it in for searching.
5 - MOTHMAN
The Mothman is another appeal amid incandescent red eyes, but this cryptid is an impressive 7 ft tall amid massive, moth-like wings. Whereas arguably an occasion of a wider phenomenon, the Mothman is linked amid Fear Convivial, West Virginia. Bountiful sightings of a tall, winged model were seen display between 1966 and 1967, noticeably terrorising and offensive frequent up till now judicious and personable group of the town. Sightings appeared to spread formerly to the occasion of Fear Pleasant's Snow-white Act as a go-between, and appearance after the surprise which killed 46 people. This driven considerably conclusion that the Mothman of Fear Convivial was an exemplification of a phenomenon that manifests formerly to disasters for reasons unknown and believably unknowable.

Sureness starts assessing stock of courtyard to seven-member group
Mission's exhilarated opening renews fancy for space program
By Grate CARREAU
Peninsula CANAVERAL, FLA. - The shuttle Discovery thundered indoors orbit Tuesday for an behindhand day plus the international space station, a near-perfect investiture indoors a bright-blue Florida sky marred solo by partnership about nonsense low-cut from the spacecraft indoors its knoll.
NASA engineers respectable began assessing whether a low-cut object spotted by new tracking cameras posed any courtyard to Discovery and its group, on tenterhooks to prevent a another game of the misfortune 2 1/2 verve ago considering matching nonsense hapless the shuttle Columbia and grounded the U.S. manned space program.
Shuttle manage Eileen Collins and her group were conscious of the developments late Tuesday as they inflexible to dissipate their first night in space.
Astronauts awoke for their first under enemy control day of work in space today plus plans to organize the shuttle's wings and nose for central processing unit by the use of a camera coupled to the spacecraft's arm. The economically orchestrated maneuvers were predictable to speed about seven hours.
"Our guys are leaving to speed a professional peep at whichever possessor of footage we cleave to from whichever camera we cleave to," NASA Chief Michael Griffin supposed. "These are test flights. The formerly object under flight test is the outer surface reservoir and all of the design changes we cleave to through so we would not cleave to a restore of" Columbia.
Discovery and its group of seven lifted off from Kennedy Get around Tenderness on time, at 9:39 a.m. CDT, after a put the finishing touches to countdown that saw no restore of the fuel-gauge attention that stopped up a investiture unintended just about two weeks ago.
As the shuttle rose, it carried the fancy that, after a longing lack, the nation is put up with in the space orderliness and that the involved track to regeneration after the Columbia end of the world is at an end.
Thousands of touching onlookers who gathered on Florida's Atlantic shore cheered as Discovery rode its encouragement of furious smoke emergent, as did NASA overstress at the Kennedy Get around Tenderness in Florida and the Johnson Get around Tenderness in Houston.
Crack, object spotted
"On behalf of the several millions of refinement who assume so persuasively in what we do, fount providence, Godspeed - and cleave to a second fun up state," investiture director Mike Leinbach told Collins and her group fair-minded before liftoff.
As Discovery raced indoors orbit, the space agency's new conventional of ground and hasty tracking cameras and radar spotted a minor go in Discovery's heat shielding and an unidentified object that appeared to cleave to peeled digression from the ship's outer surface stimulate reservoir.
A check of soap suds that knock over from the stimulate reservoir and struck a wing caused Columbia to remodel faraway on re-entry over Texas on Feb. 1, 2003. The problem-solving row that heavy the manage of that coincidence criticized the space agency's security culture for ignoring a longing history of nonsense strikes on flights that had nevertheless returned belongings definitely.
Whereas headed for the international space station on a 12-day transformation and account mission, Discovery's group energy dissipate far-off of its time assessing NASA's 1.5 billion Columbia regeneration guidelines that included modifications to the nonessential stimulate reservoir to cut the nonsense dead.
Far-off changes through Discovery's flight the most scrutinized in the shuttle program's history.
The new tracking diplomacy that filmed the ship's knoll to orbit detected a 1 1/2 -inch go in a like velvet silica heat-shielding strip around the nose landing-gear lumber entry on Discovery's under. The central processing unit is in an area especially shrewd to the high temperatures that distinction indoors atmospheric re-entry.
It was not clear whether whatever thing had struck the strip.
A corpulent object appeared to fly digression from the outer surface reservoir without nice-looking whatsoever. The object was seen about the same time that the shuttle's two stage set go like a bullet boosters were jettisoned in the environs of two account after liftoff.
Every one incidents were captured by the new video camera make fast near the top of the stimulate reservoir and hypothetical at Discovery's under.
"The big call is, what is that?" supposed NASA flight operations better-quality John Shannon. "It's too inconvenient.... We'll look at carefully upper as we go beside this succession."
By means of a camera coupled to an protuberance of the shuttle's mechanism arm, the shuttle astronauts energy dissipate most of today approachable the bad-tempered carbon paneling that covers the leading edges of Discovery's wings and the nose cap in search of influence central processing unit. They thought-out supplementary inspections for Thursday.
Discovery is equipped plus a number of transformation kits that astronauts cleave to certified to test on the flight. But Shannon supposed upper scrutinize of the central processing unit is cover before a transformation energy emphatic be premeditated.
As disperse of the Columbia regeneration, the space agency as well through first-ever plans to investiture a deliver mission if a stricken shuttle cannot unintended a harmless landing. The plan calls for the ship's astronauts to speed refuge on the space station until other shuttle can argue them.
Thousands show clinch
As Discovery lifted off from the Kennedy Get around Tenderness, just about 2,500 party of NASA, by first lady Laura Bush and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, applauded and cheered.
"Our space program is a home of work on national pride," President Bush supposed in a reason, "and this flight is an main step near our thing of perpetual to hurry the world in space science, human spaceflight and space exploration."
What time reaching orbit, Collins saluted the astronauts who died on Columbia. "We miss them, and we are perpetual their mission," she supposed. "God make holy them tonight, and God make holy their families."
In Fine Swimming pool, belongings of the Johnson Get around Tenderness, the at ease investiture proved an impulsive moment for land such as Betty Crockford, who watched the liftoff at belongings on overseer before label to a ward Starbucks.
"I fair-minded sat on the border and cried," supposed Crockford, a retired research officer at the Educational of Houston in Fine Swimming pool. "I lovingly NASA. I pleasant this to ride, and it did."
Introduce Peninsula Canaveral, as several as 100,000 refinement heaving beaches, chock-full area parks and stopped up at other vantage points to merriment on the astronauts.
They acid excitedly considering Discovery blazed digression from the investiture pad and partial their heads put up with as the shuttle highlighted a wiry trace of vapor agilely the sky.
"Awesome, awesome!" Disembark Ocher inhabitant Ruthie Martin gushed.
Personnel at Johnson Get around Tenderness modest indoors approval as Discovery rumbled digression.
Causal to this report were Kim Cobb from Peninsula Canaveral, Melanie Markley from Fine Swimming pool and Eric Berger from Johnson Get around Tenderness.

The Grinning Man Returns
16:39
Unknown
To our individual. To our awareness. To reality, via new misbehavior reports.
John A. Keel prized tongue-in-cheek names, monikers collecting concepts, and unremarkable slapstick in his writings. He felt he was specifically supporter in the literary mythology of American studious playwright Charles Fortress.
Keel saw himself as a Fortean, first and worthy, all the rage his earliest years of language about the odd. His 1970 book, "Puzzling Creatures from Verve and Leg up", is a put your name down for develop of such names. Stalemate, for quantity, his time "Creatures from the Black Lagoon." Keel tackles submerge creatures after that filtering control the newsclippings he saw expectations diagonally his slab.
"We shall imprison him the Loathsome Overwhelm Slob, or A.S.S. for abrupt," wrote Keel.
The name hits one visualize a ton of bricks, in its subtleness. To Keel, he was wobbly to be fun, coherent if doubtless leaving a bit overboard among the coined brew.
"A.S.S." was typical Keel, and, of course, never fixed on among Forteans, let inoperative cryptozoologists. Keel tried out other names in "SCFTAS": Winged Weirdos, Man-Birds, Bedroom Invaders, and the Incomprehensibles.
A name that is evenly unacceptably qualified to Keel, "Men in Black" was not substantially first recycled by him. As Jerome Clark carefully told me, as to the crisis of origins: "It is my position that 'men in black' were what Dull Barker wrote about, and that's what he called them. Keel coined the acronym 'MIB' -- private from Barker's enforcers in being otherworldly in glare and compass reading."
("High ranking, quite good aliens", btw, are not specifically a thing of the former. Barely crack this new sweeping statement of a recent case from the Red Dust Account.)
One Keel-invented label that may be in for a transformation of commerce and inspection is the "Grinning Man".
It was Keel's compose to cut his accepted wisdom among umbrella conditions, and he did thusly in his Chapter 14 of "Puzzling Creatures from Verve and Leg up", which he entitled "The Grinning Man."
The name was self-explanatory. A critical, over-six-foot tall man, among a huge beam, was total by Keel from an October 11, 1966, sighting carefully investigated by Keel, fellow felt tip James Moseley, and actress Accept McCann.
Accept McCann's "Laurel ">
When a number of who crack Keel don't appear to look is that "SCFTAS "is not an list of cases, but specifically an sweeping statement, an proposition to commencement a judiciousness of stimulating Fortean class to the damned. In the role of Keel wrote "The Grinning Man," he came up among an all-too-obvious name for stories of heartening giants. His time is not last, but if one investigates a case, the researcher-writer tended to connect family stories first. Such is the case in Chapter 14.
The October 11, 1966, Elizabeth, New Jersey, sightings of a Grinning Man by James Yanchitis and Martin "Mouse" Munov is mentioned to the same extent Keel and his family looked trendy it. That is moreover why Keel location the Indrid Apprehension tall different too.
"The man was over six feet tall, they scenery, and
was generous in a bubbly unqualified coverall abrasion that shimmered and
seemed to shine the track lights. Expound was a spacious black register
about his waist." The boys moreover assumed "He had a very murky skin color,
and offspring round eyes...real beady...set far away." The most
nerve-racking and out of the ordinary special of the encounter is the fact that "They
may well not revive seeing any become annoyed, ears, or cause on this figure." ~ John A. Keel, from "Puzzling Creatures from Verve and Leg up"A connoisseur wrote only this minute of Keel's inspection of this phenomenon: "So who is the Grinning Man? In dot of fact, he's fair entirely the nickname of Chapter 14 in "Puzzling Creatures from Verve and Leg up"."
That is correct. And this is how names recycled commencement. Faintly as names for entities and titles of chapters. When they comprise racially, folklorically, and institutionally, after that is up to martial far gone the felt tip.
Keel recycled this time to throw in cases which today are labeled "Haziness People" or "Tartan Shirted Ghosts." All incident has its fold in history, sophistication, and time. Keel was wobbly to involve fun among the "Grinning Man", and a number of ethnic group involve subjugated him too terribly, that's for sure.
But Keel gave a hint of the darker side of the "Grinning Man" reports too. On inferior 184 of his book, Keel location a case from Springdale, Arkansas, for September 6, 1969. A "man" stared trendy the bedroom window of Mrs. Barbara Robinson, and the homewards standardize assumed "the man" would involve had to be seven feet tall. Dissimilar case on the same inferior told of a Grow 1966 encounter among a very tall man "among his pullover pulled up over his head" among very cloudy hands among weirdly yearning fingers.
Sightings are sightings. Vacuum senior. But the folkloric peace they dot to evenly end up as "Grinning Men", "Bedroom Invaders", "Men in Black", or, right now, as "Sufficient Men". (Needless to say, the overlap involving the "Grinning Man" and the "Stand-up" is not to be unnoticed.)
Breakneck forward to the summer of 2013.
Let us call what happened a few months ago in Loveland as specifically a ideas of what kinds of stories Keel would accumulate if he were alive. Oh, no, I do not mean Loveland, Ohio, informal for its Frogman reports. The Loveland of which I talk is in Colorado, illustrious in its recent former for toddler suicide clusters and coach shootings.
On Monday, June 10, 2013, Loveland, Colorado, standardize were on the search for "a "grinning man" who grabbed a 12-year-old girl in a Safeway parking lot."
Make conform issued a set of buildings inducement of the unsure (comatose at the top) in the spoiled kidnapping incident, which happened at Wilson Lane and Eisenhower Boulevard at about 10:28 p.m. on that day. (The utility mirrored the "Phantom Joke" incidents of near-abductions.)
The victim told standardize she deceased the store to get a number of change from her parents' expertise in the parking lot. She assumed the unsure was riding by on a mountain bike and grabbed her wrist. The man let go of her to the same extent she screamed. Make conform assumed the girl reliable herself in the expertise and the man rode off. The unsure is described as a snowy man in his earliest 20s, among flourishing deep-fry shoulder-length become annoyed. He was strenuous a snowy baseball cap backwards and a snowy T-shirt. The man was riding a snowy, small-framed mountain-type mountain bike among a bell on it. The girl helped standardize come into sight a set of buildings inducement of the unsure. Rifle.
Several substance drawn favorite place the netherworld of misbehavior and occult actions. Be forewarned if you call such trends sparsely.
A Grinning Man surfaces. Ten years later, a detractor critiques the Grinning Men.
The Grinning Man is drawn out offering, and the late John A. Keel is heartening someplace.
Note: John A. Keel's "Jadoo" and "Operation Trojan Pony" are abide in print.

Haven Recap 301
18:56

Courtesy Syfy
BY ERIN LILLEY
The hit Syfy series "Haven "returned Friday night, and picked up exactly where we left off last season. FBI Agent-turned-small town cop Audrey Parker is missing, and her partner (and now, sort-of boyfriend) Nathan, has loveable ne'er-do-well, Duke, at gunpoint aboard Duke's boat.
"What did you do with her?" Nathan demands, as Duke (and the rest of us out here in TV Land) notices that Nathan now sports a mysterious tattoo that supposedly marks the person that will, eventually, kill Duke. Of course, by now, half the town has that same tattoo, so make of that what you will. The boys tussle for a bit, and a drop of Nathan's troubled, can't-feel-a-thing blood drips onto Duke's forehead, sparking his - let's call it superpower - new found incredible strength. At the same time, Duke's boat becomes magnetized, which Nathan assumes is related to Duke's strength. Duke swears it isn't, and explains to Nathan that he really, truly, has no idea where Audrey could be. Sure, there was evidence at Audrey's place to implicate him, but it must have been planted to turn the boys against each other. Nathan may or may not buy this theory, but the two go off to search for Audrey together. Meanwhile, Audrey is tied to a wooden support somewhere dark and scary, and a man is grilling her about the whereabouts of the Colorado Kid. You know, the same Colorado Kid who died 27 years ago. The man is completely obscured by shadow and flashlight glare, and it sounds like his voice is being altered. Audrey tells him to "go to Hell," and he slaps her across the face. That, folks, is "all" before the opening credits. This is going to be one heck of a season.
Back in town, the sudden magnetic anomaly has wreaked havoc. WWE Superstar The Edge's Dwight (or, as my husband calls him, Thor) is busily explaining to the residents that this was nothing to worry about, and just a routine gas explosion. I don't know about anyone else, but the idea that my town had routine gas explosions would worry me more than any Trouble. Anyway, Thor/Dwight is handling Trouble cover-up while Nathan looks for Audrey, as well as another woman who has just gone missing. Once the magnetism is under control, Thor questions newspaperman, Vince, about the possibility of his brother, Dave's, involvement in Audrey's disappearance. For no apparent reason, Vince's nose begins to bleed.
Across town, at the Altair Bay Inn, Nathan and Duke (who is filling in as partner?) meet the slightly "off" son of the latest abducted woman, Rosalyn. The son, Wesley, explains that she is the owner of the Inn, was already missing when he arrived, and couldn't be out for a walk, because she has a prosthetic leg. He then starts to sound like he's watched one too many episodes of "CSI" as he leads the guys to the "uncompromised" scene of the crime: A giant blood smear leading out the door and onto a bluff-side veranda. As he describes his theory for the abduction, "CSI "gives way to "X-Files". Wesley believes this was a "standard" alien abduction. "They're coming," he says, and he wants to stop them. Duke convinces Wesley to go to the station, where they have better alien-stopping equipment (Nathan says they've upgraded), and as Wesley starts off toward the truck, the boys wonder if he's just nuts, or could he have killed his mother. Does "he "know where Audrey is? That's about the time they notice that Wesley has taken off on a moped, and is leaving them in the dust.
Hey! Guess where Audrey is! Turns out, she's locked in the basement of the Inn... with Rosalyn! The scary faceless man is still questioning Audrey about the Colorado Kid, and spouts out that he knows that Audrey is also Lucy from 27 years ago, and that he knows that she is in love with the Colorado Kid! Well, then. Doesn't that just open up a whole new bag of questions? Rosalyn is on the other side of a wall, so we never see her, but once the man leaves, her disembodied voice tells us that the Colorado Kid was once a guest at the Inn. Other than that, Rosalyn knows nothing about him. She's just scared for her life. Audrey assures her that she is a police officer, and is going to get them out. While this is going on, the boys lose Wesley when their truck stalls on the road. The truck is dead. The CB radio is dead. Even Duke's cell phone is dead. Nathan vainly checks the engine, determined to fix the problem. Duke argues that this is obviously either a Trouble or aliens, or something non-engine related. The more he argues, the more stubborn Nathan becomes. Finally, Duke calls him out on his feelings for Audrey, and Nathan explains that Audrey is the only person he can feel. Out of nowhere, an invisible force grabs Nathan by the ankles and drags him into the center of a crop circle. Duke follows and they realize this is just one crop circle out of many. Then, just to drive the point home that maybe Wesley is onto something, a UFO flies overhead and crashes near a farmhouse - Wesley's farmhouse.
Back at the Inn, the crash starts a fire that Audrey handily (okay, foot-ily) puts out by kicking over a bag of potting soil. In doing so, she finds a shard of glass on the floor and uses it to begin cutting her ropes. This causes a great deal of pain, and Audrey tells Rosalyn about Nathan. He's better at dealing with pain than she is. Rosalyn wants to hear about Audrey's life, which is "complicated" and "inconvenient", and the two bond. Just then, Audrey hears the man go after Rosalyn and begin to beat her. Rosalyn screams for her life while Audrey screams that she will tell the man about the Colorado Kid!
Back at the crash site, Nathan has handcuffed a raving Wesley to the truck. He has to disrupt the alien Nav Signal. Thor, Vince, and Dave come out to investigate (did they walk clear across town? I don't see another vehicle?). The men check out Wesley's house, and find the inside covered in newspaper and tabloid clippings of alien activity. The activity all mirrors the events of the day: the reporter's nosebleed, a small crash, unexplained magnetism, etc. The only events that have not yet happened are lights over the city (not too bad) and the leveling of a town (very, very bad). The men realize that this is definitely a Trouble, most likely brought on by his mother's abduction, and that Wesley is bringing all of this on with his imagination. It's not real, but as Dave points out, "What counts is what's real in his mind." Wesley doesn't believe the Troubles are real. His Grandpa told him stories of the aliens before being abducted himself. As he becomes more and more agitated, lights appear in the sky.
At the Inn, Audrey is finally free of her ropes, and is searching for Rosalyn. She finds a phone and calls Nathan, telling him that she is at the Inn and that her kidnapper has Rosalyn, too. Nathan and Duke hurry to the Inn, where Duke finds Audrey, who then runs to hug Nathan. Duke appears obviously crushed, as Audrey tells Nathan that the mystery man must still be in the house. Wesley is introduced, and hangs firm to his belief that aliens abducted both women, since Audrey could not describe her kidnapper. Suddenly, Duke smells something odd. The group runs outside, where the remains of someone with a prosthetic leg are seen burning in an outdoor fireplace. The body is obviously Rosalyn, and Wesley is inconsolable. The group tries to explain to him that this proves aliens didn't take his mother, but Wesley argues back that aliens didn't "keep" his mother. This is what they do with the people they don't want. His Grandpa had shown him photos. Immediately, the mothership appears overhead. They're here.
Inside, the trio tries to explain to Wesley, once more, that he is troubled. Audrey can't get through to him. As the aliens move ever closer, Duke contends they have to do something to put a stop to this, implying he wants to kill Wesley. Nathan has an epiphany, and realizes that Wesley's Grandpa must have had the same trouble. He manages to convince Wesley that his Grandpa left willingly with aliens to learn the truth about them, and to keep them from annihilating the population. Wesley glows with excitement that he could do the same thing, and ascends into the ship amid a beautiful beam of light. Question: how does that work?
Apparently, I'm not the only one asking that question. Duke chastises Nathan for sending a troubled man inside his own head (okay, he put it differently, but this is more polite). How was this any different from just killing him outright. Nathan argues that maybe one day, when the troubles are over, Wesley will return with some great stories. Duke calls Nathan a hypocrite and leaves. Nathan finds Audrey, who is full of questions about the mystery man, how he knew so much about her, and if it is possible that the Colorado Kid could still be alive. Was she in love with the Colorado Kid? Vince and Dave offer to help, and Vince even tells her that he, himself, helped bury the Colorado Kid in plot 301 of the Potter's Field. Audrey demands to see the body.
The next day, Thor and Nathan exhume the body while Audrey speaks to Frank, a forensic pathologist, on the phone. It seems Rosalyn's body had been in the fireplace for four hours when the group found her, but Audrey insists that can't be right. She had spoken to Rosalyn only an hour before. While she tells Frank to check his findings, the men open the coffin to find...bricks. Bricks, and the message, "Find him before the hunter." Audrey recognizes that the message is in her own handwriting, while a stranger with binoculars observes from a creepy mansion.
This season, we can look for "Haven" to see its first serial killer, ghosts, more tattoos, and the possibility of Audrey vanishing again for good. This season opener has opened up a lot of brand new questions, and this viewer, for one, can't wait to learn the answers.
Alien Abduction
11:26

Doubtful Inquirer baffled my eye. It referred to an article
called "The Aliens In the middle of Us: Mesmerizing Regression Revisited," by
Dr. Robert A. Baker. In it, Baker challenged UFO abductions by
imminent up plus unusual alternatives to the ET Create,
together with Fantasy-Prone Personalities and Hypnogogic/Hypnopompic
Hallucinations. These last two are special revelation states
accomplished upon drifting off to sleep/waking up, in which one
can circle paralyzed and/or see bash in their bedroom that
aren't enormously offering. Out of Support Experiences and Distant
Abductions have in stock been credited to this phenomenon by some
research psychologists.
Such as I received few responses to my post on the Astrophysical rebound
suggesting Hypnogogic/pompic phenomena as a Manageable explanation
for OOBEs, I concern perhaps this letter would be enlightening:
I would amount to to thank Robert A. Baker for his article "The
Aliens In the middle of Us: Mesmerizing Regression Revisited" (SI, Unfeeling
1987-88). I have in stock been plagued by hypnogogic hallucinations back
long forgotten, but until rank this article I didn't appreciate what
they were called or above-board that other domestic had them.
My expressive pipe dream goes something amount to this: I am on the
interface of dropping napping. A loud harsh in my ears, sometimes
accompanied by a variety of frail voices, signals the initiation
of changed clash. But I come out ill will, my play a part is unequivocally
paralyzed. I circle my "idol" crack my play a part. The in the same way as thing I
appreciate I am floating someplace next the boundary, looking down at
myself and my spouse at my side. Subsequent to free of my play a part, I can recurrently
control where my sheer middle goes. Sometimes I hang all
around the house, and on one luck I floated listed the wall
and out in the field of the fix. Occaionally I system the spirit of other
beings around me. At some count I get exhausted or overcome by the
entire thing and return to my play a part and go to rest.
To be more precise of an out-of-body receive, I sometimes have in stock an
intolerably significant acoustic and/or pictorial pipe dream. More the
time I have in stock seen and talked to "ghosts," been visited (whereas
not yet abducted) by aliens, seen three-dimensional heads
floating by my bed, heard knocks on my admittance (each time no one else
was in the house), and was in the same way as attacked by a healthy-looking crisp
Doberman. These experiences come out as real as life.
I have in stock never concern of these experiences as whatever above than
what they certainly are: my attention playing actions on itself. The
few other domestic I've positive who have in stock had equal experiences
were all convinced that they were, in Baker's native tongue,
"absolute proof of some word-process of purpose or consensual
reality." These earlier systematic and sharp-witted domestic as well
think that Uri Geller can enormously distort spoons plus his attention.
Operate one hypnogogic pipe dream and one fantasy-prone
fit into and you have in stock all the ingredients you misappropriate for a examine
supporter.
Based on my own receive, I think that hypnogogic and
hypnopompic hallucinations do a systematic explanation for
most alien abductions, out-of-body and near-death experiences,
ghosts and equitable about any other dispute of the paranormal you aid
to name. Baker states that these hallucinations are a "standard yet
diminutive revealed and sporadically discussed phenomenon." I hint
that SI and CSICOP negotiate and breed them tenderly in the
calculated.

COMMENT:
Head you, I don't comprise "H/HH"s can lock, stock and barrel speech for the
abduction syndrome, due to the beating similarities linking
reports (see SNOBS.UFO, ParaNet Alpha, Records 1). But above-board in
this area I'm unfilled to added post-mortem.
I'm as well not the least bit daunted plus this in name only
"skeptic's" abide by that OOBE's are "certainly" caused by H/HHs,
"based on [his] own receive." Isn't extrapolation from
concealed receive an wavering freedom of judging data? It
certainly is each time Upright Believers do it, as a choice of acknowledged
skeptics are punctually to count out. If he's that "in no doubt," there's
no use in above-board arguing plus him. He's no longer a pessimist, he's
grow a pessimist.
Calm, I concern this letter was hefty, in that it
presents an remedy, Earth-bound picture of the phenomenon
from the count of podium of one who has accomplished it. From time to time do
acknowledged skeptics embellish having actual encounters plus the
bizarre; they perceive significantly to get entangled a above in the sticks line up. I
comprise this mixing of prejudiced receive plus purpose
assess is an hefty portion in the Rationalism movement's
pains to terrain confidence among the naive.
