Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview

With UFOs grabbing headline attention, I pulled a favorite guest from my interview archives.

I like speaking with Ardy Sixkiller Clarke. She's a great storyteller and her catalogue of UFO stories, gleaned over the past few decades, includes a wide variety of experiences running the entire spectrum of positive and encouraging to negative and frightening.

Common thread: Native Americans. She says most have never spoken to anyone about their experience. Ardy has unique access to her subjects that few could manage and their stories offer a much broader insight into the UFO phenomenon. Wendy's Coffeehouse Link.

At last count, Ardy had logged over 4 thousand UFO related paranormal stories from Native Americans. In this interview, the topic was her book, More Encounters with Star People: Urban American Indians Tells Their Stories. Amazon.

At the end of our final segment, Ardy mentions the story of "The Watcher". We were out of time. It's a good one. Quick overview from Chapter 14. Page 111.

Jim Gray Dog says the Greys he encountered are not to be trusted. He tells Ardy, "Never go into the desert alone." He adds to that, telling her to also avoid leaving or wandering away from the campsite.

Jim says the Greys take people. His information comes from ongoing observation at a location he monitors. The disturbing piece he includes is that some who are taken don't return. (Note: info might be of interest to David Paulides Missing 411.) He says during a personal encounter as a teenager he witnessed that the Greys have the ability to shapeshift and take any form. He is not a fan.

What makes it hard to dismiss all Greys as dangerous or negative is the fact they have also been credited with healings and, by our standards, miracles. Ardy covers that in Space Age Indians: Their Encounters with the Blue Men, Reptilians, and Other Star People. Amazon. Healings are in Section 3. Other Star People. Page 199. 

Space Age Indians - Amazon Reviews - 229 ratings, mostly 5 stars. 

Sample: "Another great read by Dr. Ardy Sixkiller Clarke. The moment I started reading I knew I wouldn’t be able to put this book down. I love her style of writing its as though I’m there talking with these people. The stories these people tell are amazing and most of the stories are positive, which is unique compared to most Ufo books that focus on fear. I also feel that these books are extremely important as they are telling the story of our history and of visitors that are still here today. I can’t wait for her next book. I really didn’t want this book to end."

Reincarnation and past lives are the topic of my recent conversation with Dr. Bernie Siegel, posted in Wendy's Coffeehouse archives. Link. 

Author of several books, Love, Medicine and Miracles was the initial best seller. In his first book of fiction, Three Men, Six Lives, one of the characters was developed from his own past life memories. 

We also talk about how his current life experiences include an uptick in paranormal encounters since the death of his wife. He says he feels her as a constant presence.

Stories Bernie shares from his patients and his own life are proof that, while we don't have all the answers for why some people heal and others don't, we do have proof that miracles can happen. Because they do.

Missing 411.

Cases involving missing children who claim to have been helped by large dog or bears are curious. David Paulides notes a couple of those and says he isn't ready to draw any conclusions. No doubt, they remain fascinating.

 

- Working on another interview with Experiencer John Foster. 46 years of contact and interaction with UFOs is an incredible database. While there seems to be great interest in the topic and in nuts and bolts UFOs, there is still an avoidance or simply a lack of awareness regarding those who have reported lifetime encounters. 

John's background as an engineer makes him uniquely qualified to add insight into the machinery or lack of machinery manifested during an encounter. Will update when I have more information to share.

- Seeing footage of the Ariel school children included in James Fox's newly released film The Phenomenon is a reminder that the film about that incident is still waiting in the wings - now titled Ariel School Phenomenon - it has been a work in progress for several years. 

Film is finished but no public release date to note. However, there is increasing activity and promotion on the Facebook page. Link.

Collecting the dots: UFOs, Dreams, Dimensions, Altered States and Consciousness

The moment you experience a 'miracle' is the moment you realize reality is fluid - full of potentials we have not yet evolved to fathom. Miracles are incentive to reexamine the dots.

Dimensions merging. Have you noticed?

Dream - Watching from two vantage points at the same time - a person racing his boat across the water. I am shown the face - up close - the expression and the energy of pure joy while at the same I view the boat from above as it cuts across the waves - across where the 2 oceans meet.

2 oceans join. The divide is obvious because the waters are different colors along the merge line. A small boat with 4 tiny people in it approaches my elevated position, stopping at the divide in the water. I hover like a drone. They are below and to my left in the ocean water.

Controlled by an exact replica of larger group - 4 identical people are dressed in blue and white - same colors as the boat. One person in the remote controlled boat leaned over at the same time as the person in the larger boat and it was clear they were linked. It seemed the group in the larger boat wanted to see if I knew the tiny boat was remote controlled. Apparently, they didn't know I could see them pulling the strings. I don't think they can control the tiny boat if it crosses to the other side. I find that fascinating and wake up.

When Spirit Guides offer an assist. A recent PSI challenge involved a business deal. I was reading and felt a sharp pain in my left temple. Twice. For a moment I thought I might need to take something then the phone rang. The deal is on. 

From that point on there are several intuitive prompts to focus and remember certain elements during this transaction. Each and every prompt has a purpose. The initial pain in my head was a clue - heads up - pay attention. Each person works this stuff in his own way. I have noticed my cues are telepathic and subtle (mostly non-verbal), a nudge to check something out.

When I follow up, the pieces connect.

Missing 411 trailer - David Paulides tracking the unknown.

Excellent collection. So many loose ends. And very likely there are multiple answers that don't fit our current category of knowns. 

Also 'Missing 411: The Hunted' "based on the book by David Paulides, documents 185 cases of missing peoples from four different countries. All 185 cases fit a narrowly defined profile that was refined after researching thousands of missing person reports; these cases are the most difficult, defy common sense, challenge conventional wisdom and remain unexplained."

My interview with UFO Abductee/Experiencer Terry Lovelace airs this weekend on KCMO Talk Radio 710 AM at 8pm central time, Sunday night.

Scheduled to appear at the Ozark Mountain UFO conference in Arkansas this April, the event has been postponed to July. Also on the previous presenter schedule: Whitley Strieber and David Paulides. Presenter line up may change with the new date. Details in the above link. Virtual attendance is also an option.

Terry's book is Incident at Devils Den. He was intrigued when he saw David had covered numerous cases involving missing persons cases that all had one unique commonality. That quirk was the word 'Devil' in the name of the area where they went missing or experienced unexplained phenomena.



There is a longer interview with Terry already posted here: Wendy's Coffeehouse archives. The show Sunday has been edited to 39 minutes for broadcast and will upload after (sometimes prior) it airs.

Terry's encounter story is compelling due to the physical souvenir he has to remind him of the experience, along with supporting documentation and photographs.

Interesting footnote. After Terry went public with his story, the military helicopter fly-bys began.

Even more interesting footnote. Terry tells the story of going camping with his friend 'Toby' and how it was his own interest in photography that played a part. After the encounter, they abandoned everything and left it at the campsite (That's how the military later tracked them down.)

Terry's camera wasn't in that stash. He left it at home, seemingly unaware or concerned about it.

Odd.

I told Terry I suspected the 'idea' to go camping originated from a different source. He followed up with a mention of childhood memories about the 'monkeys' in his bedroom.

“There was a startling recognition that the nature of the universe was not as I had been taught… I not only saw the connectedness, I felt it.… I was overwhelmed with the sensation of physically and mentally extending out into the cosmos. I realized that this was a biological response of my brain attempting to reorganize and give meaning to information about the wonderful and awesome processes that I was privileged to view.” - Edgar Mitchell, Overview Institute.

On the Overview Effect: "My experience was to realize that perhaps our science is wrong at answering these questions and perhaps our religious cosmologies are archaic and flawed. And given that now we are an extraterrestrial civilization ourselves, we need to re-ask these questions, and do a lot more work to find the answers."

About the film. From the MABRC info page:
Mid-America Bigfoot Research Center was approached by Osiyo.TV, the television broadcasting company of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma to help with an episode about Bigfoot in the Cherokee Tribal Boundaries.

For nearly six months, we went into the field with camera crews, interviews and more to put together this episode in which the producer and his crew did an excellent job of putting it together.

We hope that this production meets the approval of the Bigfoot Community as we worked our hardest to make it as accurate and scientific as possible.

Paranormal - x3

1/Haunted Rental. True story, mine. 12/26/19
Some details are confidential. New tenant discovered, after finding dried blood in various locations, their rental home had been the site of a brutal murder. Aside from the various legal issues (including failure to disclose and failure to sanitize the crime scene prior to renting), there have been hints of paranormal activity. Interesting side note: a visiting child looked down the hall to the room where much of the activity is located, paused and said to the adult, "That's creepy. Need to shut the door."


2/Ghost - posted on Reddit: 12/31/19 Hands
When I was four, I was helping my father clean up and repair my Grandmother's back patio. Since I was four this mostly consisted of me playing and occasionally handing my dad something he asked for. The patio was made of flagstones, and we were rearranging some and picking up broken ones to be replaced.

I moved a few broken pieces out of the way and noticed something white in the dirt. I dug for a bit and then called my dad over because it was bones and I felt I shouldn't touch them. It was the bones of a hand not much bigger than my own. My dad ended up turning them over to the police, and I later found out that the house there prior to my grandmother's had burned down with a man and his son inside. So, my dad said it was probably the kid's hand, though he didn't know why they hadn't found it when the family was buried after the fire was put out.

After the hand was dug up, I started seeing the ghost of a boy with no hand bones. His hands were so floppy and gross. He was wearing old fashioned looking blue and white pajamas and he never talked. He looked super sad and really pale with big circles under his eyes. He used to follow me around while I was trying to play and I'd tell him to go away and leave me alone (parents saw me shouting at him a lot though of course they couldn't see him) since he was so weird. The creepiest thing he would do is ooze out of the heating vent in my playroom, floppy hands first. Could not stand that kid.

In the woods behind my grandmother's house, at night I'd often see a ghost light wandering around. Years after the hand incident, I saw it was a lantern being carried by a middle aged due with a grayed out beard. I told my dad what he looked like and he said he thought it might be the dad who had died in the fire. He called him Old Man Motley but I never found any news articles or anything so I think he just made the name up for me. I saw him a few more times after that. I think he was looking for his kid.

They both felt so strange and sad...


3/Time-Warp on a Hiking trail - posted on Reddit: 12/31/19 
Some years ago - I’d say 2014/2015 - my sis and I were scouring all hiking trails in San Jose and one afternoon decided upon a small but semi-reputable sounding one. We parked after surviving a badly made 1-way road, and started out with our dog around 3-3:30. The trail markers weren’t in great condition but we still easily found a main path to a scenic overview. It was a 20-30 minute hike which curved gently around a giant rock and relatively straightforward.

We got to the overlook, admiring views of a dam and town for a good minute before turning around to start back. We turned around, and it was as if the straightforward trail we’d just been on had vanished and there was only one to the left going up and one to the right, going down. At first we thought “okaaay, this is weird, but let’s just get back.” Tried the path going up and around a hill, didn’t seem right. At this point I said “well, the gates close in 45 minutes, we have time if we can connect back with the trail we took.” So we went back to the one heading down, and somehow kept going further down the mountain when it should’ve joined with the main one.

We knew something was wrong when the direction wasn’t changing and it was getting dark. So keep in mind that we parked at 3ish, got to the overlook at 4, and by 6-6:30 were lost. Thank everything I’d brought my mobile charger and there was a clear spot with reception halfway up the trail we were on and at the top where it intersected. I had to call 911 who had to call the park service to get someone to pick us up (the listed park’s emergency numbers were useless).

Once we were rescued, it was a good 15 minute drive back to the lot. Now had the main trot been that long, we never would’ve made it to the scenic overlook with the sun still up. A 20-30 minute walk on an obvious main trail with plenty of light still, and we ended up needing a drive back that would’ve taken us 2 hours to walk. Not to mention my sis’s dog who is typically very good with knowing where to go, was frightened and confused.

We are convinced we got caught in a vortex or time warp of some kind because we can’t explain how a fairly short walk put us hours away from the car.
