OddsnEnds - Slam dunk! - A 2017 UFO news bombshell dropped over the weekend. The potato chip bag is now open...
- Pentagon/UFO project earns Prime USA Morning Drive time with ABC News and NBC Today Show (Ralph Blumenthal), capped with
light-heartednervous banter from the hosts. - When the New York Times (Leslie Kean and co-writer Ralph Blumenthal) broke the story on the Pentagon UFO project Saturday it quickly went viral. The story is continuing to ripple through mainstream newsfeeds. Bottom line, the Pentagon affiliation offers credible evidence the US government is monitoring the phenomena on some level.
- The gold in this report ties project funding/underwriting/investment to Robert Bigelow.
- Quoted from a CBS Interview, May 2017, Bigelow suggested space travel in search of Aliens is off target. [people “don’t have to go anywhere”, because the aliens are “right under people’s noses”. Independent ]
- And this tweet from Ben Mezrich @benmezrich: "I got deep into Bigelow and his UFO research in my book The 37th Parallel (he shadows UFO sleuth Chuck Zukowski). Nice to see The NY Times playing catch up with their story. :)" His presentation for TEDx includes some important Bigelow trivia: "Why I believe in UFOs and you should too."
- Perfect time to review the stats and reports in the UFO Sightings Desk Reference, USA 2001-2015 - and my Interview with Cheryl Costa Wendy's Coffeehouse
In 2011, I interviewed Leslie Kean for Conscious Living(link) about her book UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials go On the Record.
Leslie's newest book is Surviving Death: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for an Afterlife. She encountered some extraordinary mediums. I interviewed her about that on Wendy's Coffeehouse and also for Conscious Living on Empower Radio
Wendy's Coffeehouse interview 12/17/2017, KCMO Talk Radio, with Lynn Andrews and Native Artist Robert Taylor
Lynn Andrews is known to many for her Medicine Woman series, now in the 46th printing. With some 20 books and four decades of work, Lynn has traveled the world and trained with a diverse group of medicine women, as such, developing a treasured archive of shamanic wisdom to pull from.
The Los Angeles Times reports, “Andrews’ narrative opens a window onto an aspect of Native American culture seldom explored. Her portrayal of the pre-eminently sacred role of woman and the traditions that keep their ancient wisdom are remarkably accurate.”
Robert Taylor's work is currently on exhibit at the University of Oklahoma's Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art through December 30, with 60 pieces on display. OU. He was recently profiled in the Oklahoma Gazette. Including more background on Robert's unique painting style, from 1997, read this feature in Southwest Art. Follow Robert on Facebook
Sacred Vision Oracle Cards - Lynn Andrews/Robert Taylor |
In the companion book, Lynn provides the interpretations for the meaning of the card and Robert addresses the nature of the visual he created.
Images and energy merge to combine the two talents in a wonderful fashion. This is not a contemplative deck, rather, it is a catalyst for change and active engagement, an energizer to get the ball rolling on whatever issue is ready to be examined.
I didn't anticipate the topic of cattle mutilations in Hawaii. Lynn had been there for a recent retreat and said they were getting reports there. I wish we had more time so I could have followed up but it might have derailed the interview because I had both Lynn and Robert for the show. With commercials and news the total guest time for the hour is under 40 minutes. And it flies!
I do have a guest coming up who can talk about covering those investigations. 2018 interview shout out to Margie Kay, Missouri MUFON Assistant State Director, and Jean Walker! Margie is featured in Topic UFO
Note: Author Ben Mezrich found an interesting correlation with cattle mutilations on the "UFO Highway."(Who is Chuck Zukowski?) Someone flagged this interviewer for me on twitter. He's interviewing Ben. Podcast: The Malliard Report/37th Parallel interview
Side note: Chuck's sister is Debbie Ziegelmeyer, Missouri MUFON State Director
