Brent Raynes, Alternate Perceptions Magazine 9/24/17 - In pursuit of all things curious

"I abandoned the extraterrestrial hypothesis in 1967, when my own field investigations disclosed an astonishing overlap between psychic phenomena and UFOs," Keel wrote. "The objects and apparitions do not necessarily originate on another planet and may not even exist as permanent constructions of matter. It is more likely that we see what we want to see and interpret such visions according to our contemporary beliefs." - John Keel, Obituary/Telegraph



Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview with Brent Raynes

Sci-Fi Fans have a lot to choose from on the small screen - 

• Star Trek Discovery - an experiment in streaming CBS All Access
• The Orville - Fox 
• People of Earth - TBS
• Dr. Who - BBC 
• Big Screen/Blade Runner 2049  Main site 
• Syfy tripping through time - a list of 25 - popcorn friendly big and small screen.

Brent Raynes edits the Web Zine - Alternate Perceptions Magazine and is the author of  Visitors From Hidden Realms (2004) (Excerpted on this blog site from a reader who has her own story to add) and On The Edge of Reality (2009).

He is currently working on a third book tentatively titled UFOs, Monsters, Miracles, and Jadoo, an exploration of the life and pioneering research and investigations of journalist John A. Keel – a man he corresponded with beginning in 1969, and whose pioneering work in this field had a considerable influence and impact on the evolution of his own involvement in such mysterious and complex matters, as well it did for many other people."

Brent posted about a UFO case in Costa Rica - involving a UFO that was tracked underwater. Leslie Kean included that case in a HuffPost article on the Chilean Navy UFO videos. Here is the Aquadilla document pdf she referenced.



Who is/was John Keel? Author of the Mothman Prophecies and Paranormal investigator. A memorial Fan site is current. This is his Bio on that site. Another Bio on Wiki

And the Mothman Movie - Review Roger Ebert

About those John Keel EVPS? - this post addresses even more of that phenomenon: APMagazine - Reality Checking from March 2017

Other articles to check out:

• The Collins elite - UFOs, Paranormal and Plasma - by Dr. Greg Little 
• Brent Raynes on Reality Checking - a nice mix of odd and unusual.
• And the last Reality Checking post - is one I refer to that addresses UFOs and barium clouds. Interesting to note the possibility of a connection to military experiments. The colors were interesting to me. Red and greens are mentioned and that has my attention.

My 2013 bedroom encounter with a red and green lighted dinner-plate sized UFO rules out the barium cloud aspect.

What is going on here? So many questions and not enough of the big picture to provide a clear view.  There is a larger playing field to examine and the key is to allow that - for all that we "know" - mapping this terrain requires the ability to expand one's awareness in a way that allows for knowing m-o-r-e beyond the linear POV.

A tease to explore. Here's a record of Kansas UFO sightings.

Wendy's Coffeehouse interview with Phyllis Galde


Editor in Chief, Phyllis Galde was no stranger to paranormal phenomena when she acquired the magazine.

She grew up in a haunted house and had many encounters with the unexplained. We talk about that. Some of her stories.

During the relocation the original website crashed.

The Fate Magazine website has been redesigned and the original links for this post no longer exist. The is the general Link

She said it scared her silly when she was 5 years old, of the ghost that visited her in her bedroom. She was so afraid she  ran out and jumped into bed with her parents.

Her Mom understood her interest in the paranormal. Indeed, she was told later that her Grandfather died in the room. They held seances. A few dots began to connect.

Phyllis shares her encounters with Fairies and ETs. I add a few of my own. If you've never read Fate Magazine, sample a few stories and or Subscribe at connect.

We also mention Species Link Journal - I submitted a piece for this recent issue on the topic of 'what extinct animal would you choose to bring back'. My answer addresses that topic but I don't advocate bringing back an extinct animal.
