It was an interesting journey Kathy and I took out west. We landed in Vegas and wandered north out of town with the purpose of circling the Nuclear test sites and Air Force Bombing Range. It would allow me to get an idea of the terrain around which so much of my current reading involves. The country was amazing. Open. Empty. Desert. Just a wonder to travel through. 

The roads seem to go on forever. I've driven on long highways in New Mexico and Texas but there was something mystifying about those in central Nevada. A length that defied the mind's eye. Car lights at night lingered on the horizon forever until a sudden movement made you realize what it was. A single point of light, I'm guessing Venus or one of the stars, shone so brightly over Area 51 that I was taken aback.

An absolutely amazing journey. We traveled 1,400 miles in three days, by car. Wonderful time. I'll try to write up the adventures in coming days.

UFO or Drone Swarm

 In picking through the latest UFO releases from the U.S. Department of War I find this one to be the most interesting. Very swift, in something of a formation. I love how the camera re-orients on them, as if the operator has just discovered it and is orienting his attention on the six flying objects.

Exultant Power

She rose above the buck, awash in the power, his gift. Exultation filled her and unleashed desires of madness held in check these many years.

The Old Woman

She dwelt in a stone house that lay at the end of a path just beyond the village confines. She was old, as old as anyone could remember. Some feared here, naming her beldam; others called her only the old soothsayer; but most took no heed and if asked simply referred to her as that old woman in the stone house.

But it was known, by those whose business it is to know, that the old woman in the stone was something altogether more.

Richard Doty, UFOs, Aliens & More

 Richard Doty was with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. He was instrumental in disinformation in the UFO community in the 1980s and 1990s. He's never done many interviews, until now.

Give it a watch.

Gates to 51 Other Worlds

 Last week I found myself wandering the beautiful highland deserts of Nevada with my wife poking around various and sundry spots and locales. The extraterrestrial highway was, for me, the height of the trip. Eating at the Little A'Le'Inn in Rachel was a blast. Great food and friendly folks. 

And of course we had to take some strange backways to see what lay at the foot of the mountains...
