Road tripping during the pandemic - UFO Watchtower remains open. UFO/Bigfoot tourism.

"I began to wonder why I had always assumed that human thought was the only kind of thought - as if nature would be content with a single species of flower, or just one kind of tree.” - Ken Carey, The Third Millennium

Pandemic road trip? These *three sites are open at the time of this post. Websites are updated for availability and guidelines/restrictions.

1. The Montana Vortex and Mystery House is a show stopper. Vortexes, Orbs, Sasquatch activity and unusual energetic manifestations.
2. The Sasquatch Outpost. Events still being planned include Bigfoot Adventure Weekend, August 7-9. A recent review:  "Must visit place in Bailey! Best little shop in town! Awesome selection of Sasquatch stuff and the place is full of charm, yes pay to see the little museum! My kids and grandkids love it as much as I do." - June 2020. Trip Advisor.
3. UFO Watchtower, Hooper, Colorado. Camping available. The owner (referenced in the Vice feature and the film I posted below: The Bigfoot Alien Connection Revealed) says she had a visit from the Navy. Synchronicity? The report they issued to her includes a phrase similar to a quote that has been widely shared this week: "Non-human intelligence not from this world."

This 2013 Vice Interview features the UFO Watchtower.



"Off world vehicles not made of this earth." Huffington Post.

The New York Times kickstarted the UFO topic again. " Read: New York Times. Reporters Ralph Blumenthal and Leslie Kean are now on the interview circuit. This is their first interview. Project Unity on YouTube. [I'll continue with links in future posts.]

From non-existent to a potential threat? Willingness to discuss the topic publically at the highest levels of government indicates a continued shift from previous decades when UFO subject matter met with an attitude of derision, denial and ridicule.

In the Interview archives, an unexpected game changer. Kathleen Marden offers information she is just now disclosing on a new DNA bombshell discovery and her own abduction experience when she was 17.

Final note: Best "I told you so" of 2020. Goes to Bob Lazar.

Posted by Joe Rogan: "Imagine sticking your neck out in 1989 and telling an insane story about working on back engineering alien spacecrafts, dealing with ridicule for 31 years only to have the pentagon come out in 2020 and vindicate you, and to see it printed in the New York Times. That’s the story of @unitednuclearbob. We are truly living in the strangest of times."

Stay curious.
Be well.
Wear a mask.

Time out for Disclosure: UFO + Pentagon = Headline TKO

"If anyone says they have the answers, they’re fooling themselves. We don’t know the answers but we have plenty of evidence to support asking the questions. This is about science and national security. If America doesn’t take the lead in answering these questions, others will. via Twitter - Senator Harry Reid

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Truth just landed.

Weekend headlines delivered a HUGE Christmas present: Pentagon/UFO bombshell reveal. YES, the US does follow-up, track, research and investigate reports and sightings of UFOs. Status and contact for current program uncertain/unavailable/undisclosed. Not a surprise.


In mainstream news media, this is Disclosure.

Congrats to Leslie Kean: 10/11/2017 HuffPo who, in her story on the launching of the Tom DeLonge project, To the Stars Academy, suggested a potential for increased public awareness: "This could represent the beginning of a trend towards a new openness on the part of the U.S. government. These people know more than any of us, and they will be releasing important data on UAP in the future."

The New York Times (Leslie Kean and co-writer Ralph Blumenthal) broke the Pentagon UFO story Saturday and chain reaction headlines blew up the newsfeed. Raw Story picked it up. Reuters tagged on.

Bonafide viral - quickie interview on CNBC -  MSNBC interview with Ralph Blumenthal on the schedule (Sunday 12/17/2017)



AOL followed suit. As did the Washington Examiner. And CNN carried it forward.

On CBS’s “60 Minutes” in May 2017, Robert Bigelow said he was “absolutely convinced” that aliens exist and that U.F.O.s have visited Earth. Excerpted from that interview:

CBS News Correspondent  Laura Logan: Do you believe in aliens?
Robert Bigelow: I'm absolutely convinced. That's all there is to it.
Lara Logan: Do you also believe that UFOs have come to Earth?
Robert Bigelow: There has been and is an existing presence, an ET presence. And I spent millions and millions and millions -- I probably spent more as an individual than anybody else in the United States has ever spent on this subject.
Lara Logan: Is it risky for you to say in public that you believe in UFOs and aliens?
Robert Bigelow: I don't give a damn. I don't care."

Doesn't hurt that his grandparents saw a UFO.

Odd (and not) coincidence and way off topic. Out of the blue during the Wendy's Coffeehouse interview 12/17/2017, KCMO Talk Radio, with Lynn Andrews and Robert Taylor: Cattle Mutilations in Hawaii. We don't go there. However, I do have another guest coming up who investigates and can address specifics involved investigating cattle mutilations and similar oddities in further detail. 2018 interview shout out!

So what happens when you encounter the extraordinary, something that defies all known tech in current and anticipated future capabilities?

"I have no idea what I saw," Commander Fravor replied to the pilot. “It had no plumes, wings or rotors and outran our F-18s.” But, he added, “I want to fly one.”

Do Americans believe in UFOs? Surveys say a lot of us do:  HuffPo 2013 and HuffPo 2017

Go a bit further with the UFO adventure and spend time with Boyd Bushman. Some suggest he had nothing to lose in confessing his experiences at Area 51. Consider or not. He describes telepathic communication with Aliens. (Having experienced it first hand, there is no mistaking telepathic presence. Feels like it is coming from inside your head.)

I interviewed Tom Carey about the Children of Roswell. Experience and proximity to experiencers changes everything. More background on Tom: Roswell Investigator

Then there's the 1994 sighting and encounter witnessed by school children in Zimbabwe that continues to perplex those who experienced it. Movie now expected in Spring 2018. New trailer features Dan Aykroyd. Ariel Phenomenon

Curiosity wins. We want to know more.

No Accidents. My Birthday.

Leslie Kean did a fantastic job with the UFO subject matter for her previous book.

With her current focus on Life after Death, Leslie is exploring another hot button topic often deemed too flimsy and lacking of validating scientific evidence for serious consideration. She dives in. Thank you, Leslie!

Leslie says in the book press material: "Despite my initial doubt, I came to realize that there are still aspects of Nature which are neither understood or accepted, even though their reality has profound implications for understanding the true breadth of the human psyche and its possible continuity after death.”- Surviving Death Kean


Loaded with references, first hand experience and substantiating chapters from other dedicated researchers of this topic, Leslie addresses the whole gamut of material including; Reincarnation, Near Death Experiences and various methods of Mediumship.

She also explores some more exotic content rarely included in NDE and After Death material: Spiritualism. Noted on her website and worth more time to peruse for NDE Experiencers: Division of Perceptual Studies/Virginia Edu

Most fascinating to me, Leslie's experience with her deceased brother (Four significant others died during the time she was working on this book, including her father as the book was being completed.) and with Physical Medium Stewart Alexander.

Too complicated to fully discuss given our limited time-frame for the interview was the story: Chapter 16/Finding George. Very complex. (The details are impressive.) And her personal experiences when sitting with Physical Medium Stewart Alexander are compelling.

From Leslie's Archives here's the 2014 video presentation for the incredible physical medium Stewart Alexander - chapters 25 and 26. Fantastic view of Spirit Communication.

And what is the benefit of talking about all of this life after death stuff? It helps.

"Research has revealed a consistent pattern of positive aftereffects in those who report a near-death experience [NDE]. Beneficial outcomes are also possible for those who have not had a NDE, but instead learn about them, although much of this research has been conducted on therapeutic populations."
