Cattle Mutilation & Related Reports & Data |
| Posted by SOUL-DRIFTER - 11-22-09 08:52 - 10 comments |

This thread is to be devoted to the posting of reports, data & or link to such. Discussions about such should be taken up in the main forum.QUOTE SOUTH DAKOTA CATTLE MUTILATION
On 8-16-99, Tuesday, a farmer reported a suspicious cattle death to the Hutchinson County Sheriff. He had found one of his bulls dead in the pasture. The bull was laying on its back on top of the fence, its reproductive organs removed. The wounds were clean and did not appear to have been caused by predators. There was no blood, no sign of a struggle and no obvious cause of death.
After examination, the animal was left to lay in the pasture. Even after several days of ninety degree weather, decomposition was minimal and the carcass was untouched by flies and scavengers (and believe me, we have plenty of both around here!).
That same night (so I was told ), another man (of Menno) was driving home and spotted lights in a field near the farmer's. He pulled into a field road ( an access road for tractors and such) and drove towards the lights to investigate. He was chased out of the field by the lights and drove to friends house who also saw the lights. There is a discrepency here--a coworker of my husband insists that Fred told her that the lights came from above but our neighbor says they were ground-based spot lights.
On 8-23-99, Tuesday, another farmer (of Menno) also reported a suspicious cattle death to the sheriff. His was a heiffer, found dead with the reproductive organs removed. I don't have any other details about that one.
Farmer #1 lives about two miles from us-- Farmer #2, about three fourths of a mile. Most of the farmers around us have cattle but the farms are small and can be easily protected from coyotes by a good dog --and
everyone has dogs. There is a sort of coyote "highway" that follows a natural drainage from the highway to our place and farther northwest. We've seen coyotes traveling that way several times and thats were the hunters find them in the fall.
It has been unseasonably hot and dry for the last six weeks; water holes are dry and small animal populations seem to be down (rabbits, coons and such). It is possible that coyotes are starting to raid pastures out of neccessity for food and water. Although how a coyote or a pack of coyotes could drop a bull on top of a fence is beyond me.

Beginning of the end for the Internet in the UK |

Not very encouraging reading about the UK's 'Digital Economy Bill' and radical copyright proposal. QUOTE Britain's new Internet law -- as bad as everyone's been saying, and worse. Much, much worse. The British government has brought down its long-awaited Digital Economy Bill, and it's perfectly useless and terrible. It consists almost entirely of penalties for people who do things that upset the entertainment industry (including the "three-strikes" rule that allows your entire family to be cut off from the net if anyone who lives in your house is accused of copyright infringement, without proof or evidence or trial), as well as a plan to beat the hell out of the video-game industry with a new, even dumber rating system (why is it acceptable for the government to declare that some forms of artwork have to be mandatorily labelled as to their suitability for kids? And why is it only some media? Why not paintings? Why not novels? Why not modern dance or ballet or opera?). So it's bad. £50,000 fines if someone in your house is accused of filesharing. A duty on ISPs to spy on all their customers in case they find something that would help the record or film industry sue them (ISPs who refuse to cooperate can be fined £250,000).
But that's just for starters. The real meat is in the story we broke yesterday: Peter Mandelson, the unelected Business Secretary, would have to power to make up as many new penalties and enforcement systems as he likes. And he says he's planning to appoint private militias financed by rightsholder groups who will have the power to kick you off the internet, spy on your use of the network, demand the removal of files or the blocking of websites, and Mandelson will have the power to invent any penalty, including jail time, for any transgression he deems you are guilty of. And of course, Mandelson's successor in the next government would also have this power... http://www.boingboing.net/2009/11/20/brita...ew-interne.htmlQUOTE Potential repercussions:
1. Immediate remedies for copyright infringement -- jail sentences and removal of Internet access can be meted out purely at the discretion of an unelected official (that is most likely under the sway and pay of media lobby groups).
2. The raising of pirate-hunting militia -- the Secretary of State could "confer rights" to music labels and movie studios to help them protect their works. It would be within the rights of the copyright owners to compel ISPs, schools and businesses to hand over details of those using their network for 'nefarious' purposes.
3. Pirate-hunting duties could be forced upon ISPs -- not merely content with perusing ISP records, the Secretary of State could force ISPs to act as gatekeepers. You can imagine how it might impact your surfing experience if a copyright lawyer is forced to peruse each and every one of your emails to check for plagiarism. http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/11/19/be...rnet-in-the-uk/Link: Leaked UK government plan to create "Pirate Finder General" with power to appoint militias, create laws.Cheers.

As said, I'am new, and from Sac Cali, 34, never been abducted, never really seen anything, but I'am very interested, and curious. Closest thing I have ever had is multiple thru out my life OBE, thats it I don't wear alien costumes go to alien seminars, if you seen me, you probably would ask, "Why the hell would he sign up here?"

If you could be anything at all |

Im not sure if these silly series of posts are in the right spot or not but Im sure you mod's will correct it if you find a more approiate home for them. If you could be anything at all, other then human, what would you be? Would you be a tree? A mountain, a goldfish or a bird? (Please dont limit yourself) And why would you be what you have choosen? Personally I think I would like to be a great white. I seldom sleep, I love seafood, am a good swimmer and lets face it, theres not to many things that are gonna F#$k with a great white now is there  Second question: If you could have any super power (only one) what would you choose and why? I would probably pick invisibility because that way I could get up to some playful mischief, sit in of secret meetings to get the heads up on financial deals and generally just have a ball.

Pop Quiz |
| Posted by The Hazard - 11-22-09 02:36 - 0 comments |

Okay in line with my orginal post in the off topic pages of science and tech here is a pop quiz for you to consider. Please dont take this as religion or faith bashing as that is not my intention. I decided to break it into two questions and this is taking it for granted that you are alive, and remain alive during and after. And yes the last option is a cop out on my part to spare my poor befuddled brain from straining itself lol. If you where ever to meet God (or an Angel) what would you do? A) Fall to your knees and pray for forgivness?  Ask him/her what the meaning of life is? C) Ask him/her why he/she allowed so much suffering to take place in the world? D) Cower in fear? E) Ask him/her why he/she didnt see what satan was up too? F) Go to a doctor as you think your having hallicutations? G) Other (please specify) If such a meeting took place would you? A) Ask for a personal favour? If so what would it be? (As this is personal the second part is optional)  Ask him/her why they where talking to you in the first place? C) If they had a task for you to complete would you do so even if it meant you may die? D) Ask if he/she can solve our (humanities) problems? E) Other (please specify) As I said this is not meant to rile anyones feathers as I am not having a go at anyone regardless of their beliefs / non-beliefs. It is merely intended as an exercise to get us thinking of how we may react to an unexpected contact with a superior being.

Musings about slime |
| Posted by kirin-rex - 11-21-09 20:18 - 2 comments |

I've been thinking about something recently, very seriously in fact. I'm not joking here. If I were being ironic, I would have made this a post on my blog. Instead, I'm putting this here. It's not a question, just an idea.
I don't know a lot about science. What I know wouldn't fill a doll's teacup compared the ocean of knowledge out there, but I know a bit, so here it goes.
The nature of the universe and living things ...
The universe is essentially made of two kinds of energies: energies that attract and energies that repel. Sub-quantum positive and negative charges attract and repel and coalesce into quantum particles. These quantum particles variously stick to each other or push each other away, forming themselves into cohesive units we call protons, electrons and neutrons. The attraction and repelling of protons, neutrons and electrons create the various atomic structures that we know. As the numbers of these subatomic particles vary, so do the densities and masses of the atomic structures they can form, as do the properties of the atoms themselves. These in turn have a larger effect on how these atomic structures behave with one another.
For example, certain atomic structures tend to clump, or attract, while others push each other away. Some lose electrons more easily than others. Some are more easily fissile than others. Some have electrons that move orbit or change speed.
Now as the atoms attract or repel, their properties change. For example, under the right conditions, oxygen and hydrogen will bond together into 3-atom groups of H2O. These units of H2O, these molecules, interact with their environment VERY differently than hydrogen or oxygen by themselves. For example, it can assume liquid form at a much higher temperature, and achieve solid at a vastly higher temp than either Oxygen or Hydrogen. H2O is, in fact, one of the most unique molecules we know of, in regards to how it behaves at different temperatures (for example, in that it's solid form is crystalline).
Now, add sulfur to the H2O, and its reactions with other atomic structures takes on even MORE variety! So, as we can see, this aspect of attraction and repelling allows these positive and negatively charged units a greater capacity of reactions with other units. As molecules become more complex, so does their ability to perform reactions with other matter.
Now, certain molecules, under the right conditions, become capable of performing stable and continuing reactions. Essentially, that's what life is: it is a series of chemical reactions whereby materials are processed by the living organism. Living things process light into energy (such as how we use sunlight in the synthesis of vitamin D, or plants use photosynthesis in processing nitrogen for nutrition).
Again, many of my ideas are flawed due to not having a strong background in science, but bear with me on the idea: as orders of complexity increase, so does the ability of the matter/organism to sustain reactions with the environment.
Now, about a billion years ago, we had single-celled organisms: little engines that could sustain chemical reactions. Now there was a cell that had a very strong cell wall and could prevent other cells from invading it and using it for nutrition. However, its ability to sustain reactions was weak: it could only provide enough power to maintain a single cell. Then, it met another cell: mitochondria. Mitochondria had no cell wall. It was defenseless, open to the environment and easily destroyed by other cells. However, it was an energy powerhouse capable of reactions that would produce far, far more energy than it needed. The mitochondria formed a symbiotic relationship with the other cell. The large cell provided protection, giving the mitochondria the cell wall it lacked. The mitochondria in turn gave all its excess energy to the larger cell, enabling it to perform more complex reactions and, most importantly, form bonds with others cells.
Through mitochondria, these clumps of cells were able to provide better protection to one another. These were able to share nutrition and resources. They were capable of better and more complex reactions. They had an advantage, by vast orders of magnitude, over single-celled organisms. Now, as multicellular organisms increased in size and complexity, so too did their ability to protect themselves and perform more complex reactions, turning larger and larger matter into energy for itself.
Now, we could ask: if bigger is better, why did the dinosaurs die out? Why aren't Earth's animals 900 feet tall? The answer is: there is a tipping point. There is a point at which access to resources limits size. Bigger is only better so long as the individual organism can get access to food resources and energy. Competition for available energy limits the size and complexity of the organism.
Now, we know that this clumping together of matter, really an extension of the forces of attraction and repelling, gives advantages. So my though is this: are we human beings simply an extension of the primordial soup? Is our intelligence, are our souls, only a biproduct of a process of subquantum attracting and repelling that gave advantages to matter, based on its ability to carry out reactions?
We human beings process our environment. We take the air, a combination of hydrogen, nitrogen, argon, oxygen and carbon, and break it down, processing oxygen in our bodies, releasing carbon, and absorbing nitrogen. We take plant and animal matter, break it down for energy and excrete the waste (a simpler, inert form that can no longer perform sustained reactions, but only reacts with the environment insofar as it breaks down and decays and provides food for simpler organisms).
We process our environment to make houses, roads, even nuclear weapons. We gouge the very Earth for these, not unlike termites digging out a tree.
Two billion years ago, heavy metals exposed to weather performed complex and sustained nuclear reactions for millions of years.
Although matter has clumped together not unlike how the planets coalesced out of the dust of the big bang, has it ALL been simply a matter of matter attracting or repelling other matter in order to carry out more complex reactions and operations?
It makes me wonder. Just something I'm thinking about.
Again, sorry if the science is completely wrong. I love science, but know very little.

yesterday i got into a little argument with my mom, i went into my room full of energy, listening to some decent metal cleaning up my room while dancing,...then i sat down trying to calm down changing the music from metal to some house/minimal sounds which did not work out perfectly cause for the first time in my life i thought if there would be some lethal pills laying on my desk i would take them instantly to end my life. i just did not feel like belonging to all of this. my life in germany is actually pretty good, school is going well, i live in decent financial and social settings and therefore have never really thought about suicide i just think my emotions led me stop thinking rational at that moment. however, that night was going to be a party at a friends house. eventhough i could have easily been taking the bus i decided to walk which takes about 50 minutes, thinking the walk could calm me down. at the party i was drinking a couple of beers, then we were making some *special* brownies ,.. actually im not used to products that consist of Tetrahydrocannabinol though the forces of the group made me eat a piece. half an our later my folks were all chilling, i felt pretty uncomfortable in that situation cause id rather go out for a walk looking at stuff,...so after the first people started to fall asleep i took of. i decided to walk home since that walk d be long enough to listening to some music and meditate. i felt really good. my spine was very warm, i could feel the warm energy supporting my back from the bottom to the shoulders it pushed me, i flowed over the sidewalk being overwhelmed by all the infrastructure (houses, cars espacially cars).. the combination of my prior emotional status and the brownies made me feel like i have never felt before. i felt very mighty but scared (respecting and honoring this world for the way it is) i don´t know god, but at that moment i loved him alot and felt honored to be living in this world. PRIDE is probably the best way to describe it. the pride of a warrior. as i turned into the road, i surpassed street lights. which is not unusual so far. i was concerned of how they acted as a passed them. they were "flickering" extremely. than one turned off just as i walked under it,..this happened 3-4 times throughout the walk,..light turning off..i did not feel scared anymore, i could easily get used to living like that. i sort of interacted with my environment. i felt charged and kept walking. i moved my hands in weird und uncommon ways. i was flowing,..my awareness of the world was different. now that im writing this i feel that i have been sober for the first time in my life yesterday, right now being actually sober i feel that my mind is being influenced right now. right now i need to think what im supposed to (to a degree) manipulatable... i recognized that another street light simply turned off as i passed it,. there i knew this was real but i could handle it. i could easily have been freaking out, but i tried to make the best out of the situation,..being in such a shift of realitiy one can easily be overwhelmed by the impressions emotions and visions,..the strucure of thought processing was different, i felt like living in a very metaphysical world were everything is made of transfering energies, all we see is transferred energies in a sort of interpretaional way. you eat an apple that gives energy to you, though what if there is a second you, a more mathematical one that instead of eating the apple "inhales" particles,..well no this is very complicated to explain right now. i lost my awarness of time so i don´t really now what time it was but i recognized the uncommonly high traffic,..just as another traffic light started to flicker i witnessed a strange vehicle passing by...it looked like an american van big ford van or something similar with sirenes going on on top. the van was black an the windows were black to. it was fast it headed to the place the first light went off. i could have been anything though it was strange that this happened at that time..i have never seen a car like that that i germany. it looked like a secret agency vehicle, i have never seen a german agency neither ambulance nor police using that type of car. i started walking faster i did not feel secure anymore. now i started to pay more attention to the cars and people passing by. then the vehicle turned by a second time,..i started walking faster almost jogging. a lot of big cars like big black 5er BMWs were driving around. i was tripping and freaked out, something was not right. all the time i was trying to get some rational reasons for everything that happened, but it did not make any sense,.. i thought i would die. did i see to much? did i experience stuff im not supposed to? i thought how easily i could have been shot and the police could make up stories a little boy shot himself blabla, just pow and im dead just like that very easily..i rememberd how i sat in my room thinking of the pills on my desk and i felt sorry and was ashamed of even haven thought about something like that..i turned into a road i saw a beautiful old house,..nice lights were leading to the door it was an epic picture,..it was beautiful,..as if god showed me how beautiful it is and how stupid and childish ive been after the fight with my mother...i sweared that i never even think about suicide anymore and love life the way i allways did..weird coherency i suppose..i felt that god was my father, brother, friend and myself in one,..the feeling in my spine came to its peek,..as if he put his hand on my shoulders and said go on boy! very amazing.. i was looking to the sky trying to measure how far im still of home, there i saw plane i thought with bright light. then i remembered the orange lights ive seen probably a year ago. i told myself please don´t be an ufo please please..that would have been to much for 20 years of age..i focused on it it burned,..it was probably 1km away, from my location..it glowed and jumped twice to the left. the same jumping style i have seen a year ago,..it disappeared behind trees and i forgot about it until this morning..comapring to what i have gone through, the ufo rather appeared unimportant at that moment, i just wantetd to go home,..at home i realized that my parent were gone for a 2 day trip, i spend 30 seconds in the house,..the walls had eyes i left my house walking another 30 minutes to get to an other friend of mine,..i just could not be alone,..FEAR!! i don´t remember the way to my friends house. i instantly felt asleep. this morning i took of my shoes and my white socks were full of blood,...i walked so much, my feet started bleeding please give me some feedback,.don´t let me deal with it by myself,..im not going to tell my parents theyd probaby send me to the hospital..my friends are going to be sceptic to, there might be 2-3 that understand. thanks alot for reading ... the thing that impressed me the most were the lights that seemed to interact with me, has someone heard of anything similar,..

Bizarre UFO witnessed at RAF Boulmer -1977 |
| Posted by karl 12 - 11-21-09 12:38 - 0 comments |
 |
Very interesting (radar corellated) RAF UFO report which was so sensitive 'an extra three years was added to its 25 year release date'. Eyewitness Statement: QUOTE "There were bright objects hanging over the sea.The closest object was luminous, round and four to five times larger than a Whirlwind helicopter. The objects separated. Then one went west of the other, as it manoeuvred it changed shape to become body-shaped with projections like arms and legs".
Flight Leiutennant A.M. Wood. - RAF Boulmer,Northumberland. UFO also correlated on multiple radar and witnessed by two RAF personnel UK M.O.D. Declassified Report. Incident: QUOTE Boulmer reports of UFO sightings were hushed up
THE X-Files came to RAF Boulmer as strange flying objects were spotted hovering over the North Sea by a fighter pilot at the base. In a case that would intrigue TV’s Mulder and Scully, bright objects were spotted by RAF staff in 1977. They changed shape as they watched. So sensitive was the sighting that all records of it were hidden from public gaze and have only just been released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOI).
It was stored in the Ministry of Defence’s “possible extra-terrestrial contact” department, known only by the code name SF4. It is one of many sightings listed by the Government where credible witnesses, such as military staff, policemen and airline pilots, have reported UFOs. The drama started in July 1977, when Flight Lieutenant AM Wood reported seeing the objects, saying the nearest was luminous, round and four to five times the size of a Whirlwind helicopter.
The two possible UFOs were seen hovering at a height of around 5,000 feet and were three miles out to sea.His report is backed by those of Corporal Torrington and Sergeant Graham, who say the objects parted, with one going west and changing shape as it went. The objects, with one then looking body shaped, were watched by the three men for one hour and 40 minutes.A radar station at the base also picked up the objects in the same position before they vanished.Checks were made to RAF West Drayton to see if it had spotted them. Flt Lt Wood is described as “reliable and sober” in the report, which adds that radar staff at RAF Staxton Wold also picked up the strange objects. The RAF Boulmer report was deemed so sensitive that instead of being released to the public 25 years later as normal a further three-year ban was imposed.It is only because of the FOI Act, which came into force on January 1, that the case was reviewed and the details declassified. Radar Confirmation QUOTE One of the most puzzling came from RAF Boulmer, an important radar control centre on the coast of Northumbria. In the early hours of 30 July 1977 airmen on the night shift were alerted by a call from a civilian who could see two bright objects hovering over the North Sea. The duty controller, Flt Lt A.M. Wood and a group of airmen then emerged from their bunker and saw the UFOs for themselves.
In his detailed report to MoD, Flt Lt Wood says the objects were close to the shore and stationary, at a height estimated between 4-5,000 feet. They appeared to move apart and then together as they slowly climbed into the clear sky. “No imagination was required to distinguish the shape,” he wrote. “Westerly object [was] conical with apex at top. Object seemed to rotate and change shape to become arrowhead in shape. The easterly object was indistinct.” He said the UFO closest to the base was “round, luminous, [and] 4 to 5 times larger than a Whirlwind helicopter.”
Flt Lt Wood’s story was supported by Cpl Torrington and Sgt Graham who were on duty at a picket post outside Boulmer’s underground operations room. They said the westerly UFO moved “and changed shape to become body shaped with projections like arms and legs.” All were described as “reliable and sober” in a MoD report. The descriptions, and more significantly, the fact these UFOs were visible for one hour forty minutes make me suspect they may have been bright stars or planets. But in his report Flt Lt Wood says that shortly after disappearing visually, two unidentified contacts were detected on the base radars at a range of between 20 and 30 miles out to sea. These slowly moved northeast as they climbed, “then parted, one climbing to 9,000 feet estimated and moving east, the other holding 5-6,000 ft.”
While the UFOs were being tracked, he contacted the controller at RAF Patrington, an early warning station on the East Coast. He confirmed the two unidentified blips were visible on the radar picture there, which was relayed directly to RAF West Drayton in Middlesex. But oddly, the Senior Reporting Officer at headquarters was less forthcoming when asked if he could see the UFOs.

After some youtubing, I thought I'd post some very interesting videos I came across for anyone who shows interest. I like to wonder what their objective is when aliens create these.
