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."

Ozark Non-physical Encounter. 5.25.21

My own ongoing interaction with Sasquatch includes an encounter over the weekend. Short vacation away from work at my Mom's cabin in the Ozarks. Fronted by lake. Backs up to dense forest growth.

Perk this time of year: tons of ticks. Still itching from the bites.

Walking new puppy and our older dog early on the second evening, we were greeted by a lone firefly. I was excited because it is the first one of the season and a bit early. 7-9 feet in the air and directly in front of me on the road. I considered it a greeting.

Looking out the window the next night, there was a firefly in that same area traveling along the road. I find it interesting that it is still the only one around while I have managed to spot several glow worms on the ground.

On an earlier walk, Andy said he heard tree knocking and something heavy, moving away from us through the trees. Aside from seeing several deer near that area, I haven't seen or heard anything unusual. (On a previous visit.) We have smelled something intensely stinky in that area before. He has a better description of the odor than mine. I can't remember it at the moment. When I have to take the puppy out to walk after dark, he suggests I avoid remote sections of the road and the area where the smells and sounds have been noted.

We spend the final day playing in the water and getting the puppy used to her new life-jacket, also taking our elder dog for a ride on the kayak. He enjoys perching on the front rim.

That night I slept on the couch in the living room to keep the puppy company. The moon was out and full but it was a little bit cloudy so it was covered and just looked like a fuzzy, bright cloud covered circle. It was not visible through the skylight like it had been when I had an amazing experience in that same room a few years ago. However, what happens this time suggests the previous incident is connected. 

1:00 AM. I wake up. Telepathic communication. Someone is talking to me but it is too much for me to remember and I want to remember because it sounds important. I miss the first sentence or two but it starts again. As I walk to the table I see the raccoon on the porch under the bird feeder. Startled, he/she scampers off. I turn the light on, sit at the table and begin writing: 

You are surrounded by 'forest people'.

We walk the trail at night, singing songs and dancing in the moonlight.

Goodwill to those who wait, who value land and small creatures,

who work with joy and toil in the daylight.

With no harm, they ask for help and we reply:

You must do justice - to leave all who are not of your ilk alone.

Walk away from a fight.

Walk away from a kill.

Walk away from any form of misdeed.

Walk away and let nature be. 

Thank you for sharing our land and being carefree and joyful.

We sing this song of joy and laughter and celebrate the wonders of the moon.

The soil gives us energy.

We give the gift of love to you.

Remember to tell the tale of forest creatures who want for nothing,

who are free from entanglement and live beyond the veil.

Thank you. 

Yes, we have the power to heal. Magic in the moonlight. 

At this point I sense I can interject. What do you call yourselves?

We are the one from who all creatures come.

We are those who plant the seeds.

We are the origin.

Guardians of the trees.

Stones and brambles are simply part of our art, creating nature. We gather soil and samples to restore and nurture, to create beyond worlds on distant stars. You do not see us - even when you look.

We do not exist in your time but we see you. Like your Santa Claus, all is known.

Blessings from the stars.

As that was said, I heard a quick three note musical sound, like a wooden chime or xylophone. And it sounded like it was right beside me. (My bedside light blinks off and back on as I write this.) 

I looked around the room to see if Mom had anything like that nearby. Nothing to see. No musical instruments of any kind and no wooden chimes. That sound will be a trigger to help me to remember. 

Like the full moon is a trigger for the previous unexplained event. Magic in the moonlight. I covered that in a previous post. I also remember the feeling as I was writing. Warmth, joy and comfort. Like a hug. 

Earlier in the day, I had asked [out loud, something I rarely do] for any help that could be given for a pain I had been working on healing over the past several weeks. I discovered my sore spot was gone the next morning. It has not returned.

Two more interesting side notes echoed the theme. Andy packed a new film to watch: Abominable: Find Your Way Home (Animated). I brought a book to read: Where Bigfoot Walks by Robert Michael Pyle.

Checking back into Facebook after a several day hiatus - I have been tagged on a post: Image titled Sasquatch Wisdom. "Believe in yourself. Even when no one else does."

• Fascinating conversation via the Space Studies Institute. Dr. Gerard K. O'Neill and Dr. Isaac Asimov discuss Space colonies and how it is more practical, for multiple reasons, to house people on space vessels rather than a planetary surface - such as the moon. Soundcloud.
  
  Asimov used the term “planetary chauvinism” to refer to the systematic bias of science fiction toward planetary exploration. O'Neill proposed an alternative vision in which human beings would not seek to colonize planets, but instead build their own enclosed cylindrical space habitats. Source.
  
  "We should ask, critically and with appeal to the numbers, whether the best site for a growing advancing industrial society is Earth, the Moon, Mars, some other planet, or somewhere else entirely.

  “I think it’s an awful idea to advertise our existence in space, without understanding the
  motives and intentions of possible alien civilizations,” he said, comparing us to the inhabitants
  of the New World encountering “Cortez and his band of cut-throats”. Instead of David vs. Goliath, Professor Kaku suggests it would be more akin to “a fruit fly versus Goliath”. Related site post.
  
  
• Present day Michio Kaku. There are various sources for this clip but I like the way TMZ sums it up. "But, here's the comforting or disappointing part ... depending on your point of view.

• UFO Research could give our science a tremendous boost. MIT Researcher Rizwan Virk "argues that the “profound lack of curiosity” in UFOs resulted in a mess of taboos and biases amongst the ranks of academia." The Byte.
  
  
• Echoing that view - regarding the current vibe that we are being threatened by UFOs and need
  to muster our best offense/defense, Contact/UFO Experiencer John Foster offered his perspective, link on the recent UFO buzz: "Some people believe UFOs do not belong in our restricted air space. However, my UFO experiences indicate that at least those entities who I encountered had a hand in our creation…the creation of humankind."
  
  If you have not read his content - he provides and in-depth view of his lifetime of encounters - many in the presence of witnesses who could see them while others were totally oblivious. What we are dealing with - if his ETs are in charge is quite capable of manipulating our reality and keeping us in the dark until such a date they determine otherwise.

  Note the date on their website: 12.12.12. True Stories from the Contact Underground, is a collection of true stories by and about normal people who have had contact with extraterrestrials and how that contact has affected their lives. We hope that by sharing our stories:
  
  1. Awareness of the non-threatening nature of the extraterrestrial presence will increase.
  2. More people will become motivated to seek contact and the certain knowledge that we are
  not alone.
  3. The culture of ridicule surrounding all things ET will diminish so that others who have had contact experiences will feel free to talk.

Parting shot 

“Life is extraordinarily rare, extraordinarily precious. Opening the high frontier means making possible and ensuring the survival of the human race.” - Gerard K. O’Neill, The High Frontier Movie. Also at Planetary.org

Big noise echoing across various news and media channels: UFOs are REAL. Welcome one and all - they are real and have been all along. Theirs and more recently, to complicate the issue, ours. All are real. While this is just now gaining official credence in Western society, many Indigenous Peoples/Cultures have long included reference to their presence (among others).

The real story is Agenda. About face on denial and deliberate mainstreaming of the concept of UFO, UAP, ET, Alien, Unknown presence suggests a motive that may or may not be obvious on first glance. 

Watch for it.

In the meantime, yeah! The giggles and nervous throat clearings might stop at the mere mention of UFO. Too early?
