Sci-Fi, Space Cookie, 1966 Shawnee, KS UFO, Cool Bees 101, and a Ghostbuster Arsenal

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just give up.” - Stephen Hawking, Goodreads Wonder quotes.

From Brent Raynes: Alternate Perceptions Archival Newsletter, No. 276, March 2021 -
Up next my co-hosts Barbara Mango, Ph.D., and Lynn Miller, MS., are in the hot seat this time
as they're my guests instead of being co-hosts helping to interview others.

They've produced a wonderful and very significant book, Convergence: The Interconnection of Extraordinary Experiences, that just came out on March 1st.

In our book section of this issue you'll find a well done review of Convergence by noted author and researcher Joey Madia. This book covers a full spectrum of anomalistic experiences, be they UFOs, orbs, apparitions, out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, past life memories; and they're not shy about sharing their own remarkable experiences with the paranormal, which is all quite fascinating!

My interview with Barbara Mango is posted in the Wendy's Coffeehouse Archives. She talks about a UFO sighting in Shawnee, Kansas in 1966. I'll share the copy of the report - an image she found- after a tedious search of the Blue Book files.

Fascinating side note, this item was recently posted on Facebook. Congressional hearing transcript - 1966 (April) on the topic of UFOs. So many questions remain unanswered.

Stumbled across this article in February, 'A Longtime Ghost Hunter is Selling all his Gear', Vice.

Contemplating now, the arsenal of assorted ghostbusting gizmos and gadgets. Opportunity knocked. Homework in progress. Figuring out what the items do. Aside from that, I want to ask the former owner of this collection about his long ago encounter at Houdini's gravesite.

Animal Communication with Sharon Loy. From the Newsletter: Julie was grieving the loss of her pets.

Sharon says, "On the last day as everyone was preparing to leave, I suggested Julie take my pet rabbit’s photo with her. Bunny was such a wise being, and has helped so many of my students over the years. It was an intuition and I am glad that I listened." That rabbit story is worth tracking down.

Paranormal vs. Jokester? I gave Andy a cute little Crystal Ball for his birthday - a battery empowered version of a Magic 8 Ball.

It comes with a list of potential answers. Apparently, ours included at least one wildcard. The response to his first question does not appear on the cheat sheet.

"The line is busy. Try again later."

Humor. The unexpected can be just as fun as the unexplained.
