Search Engine Optimized UFO News Aggregation Blog Entry Title

WARNING: YOU ARE ENTERING A ZONE WHERE BULLSHIT IS ACTUALLY ENCOURAGED.

I've decided to continue blogging conspiracy theory stuff. Why not? It's fun.

I've spent the last few weeks researching some of the most far-out assertions and claims I could find, and what I've discovered in doing so is a rich tapestry of material that is either a) disturbing evidence that the universe is way more fucked up than you think or b) a testament to the fertility, depth, and profound weirdness of the human mind.

So, today, let's see what people are saying about UFOS and ETs on Youtube. I've aggregated some links for you to check out.

Here's Buzz Aldrin saying that a UFO followed Apollo 11 to the moon.

Here's Buzz Aldrin saying there's a monolith on Mars.

Here's Dr. Edgar Mitchell saying the government has documents to prove that we're not alone.

Here's Mitchell at home going into a bit more detail in asserting a cover-up of alien contact going back to the Area 51 incident.

While some assert that Mitchell is a loon who has lost it, I would just like to state for the record at this point that I have neither a doctorate degree, nor photos of myself walking in space on my wall, so I am willing to accept his testimony as credible. He seems to be pretty lucid in both of those videos.

Here's Gordon Cooper talking about his encounters with 'a vast armada' of UFOs while on duty as an air force pilot.

Here's Neil Armstrong, a recluse who at one point was the most famous man on the planet, sobbing as he confesses to children that they will have to remove truth's protective layers in the process of discovering new things. Weird, right?

Here's a former Canadian Minister of Defense Paul Hellyer eloquently telling a crowd that the government is covering up evidence of UFOs and ET contact.

Here's the Mexican military going public with video footage of UFOs.

Here are 14 men from high levels of government and the military asking for more information on UFOs.

Here is Michio Kaku endorsing a book about senior military officials who have gone on record saying that they are baffled by the UFO phenomenon. The book is called UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials On The Record. Dr, Kaku says this is as close as you are going to get to a smoking gun.

Here's the author of the book, Leslie Kean, on the Stephen Colbert show. Leslie is an investigative journalist, as difficult as it is to believe that such a thing exists in this day and age. She mentions spending ten years researching her book. Wow.

A nod to the skeptics: Here's Bill Nye the Science Guy in his capacity as a member of the Skeptic's Society getting destroyed by former air force officer Bob Jacobs on Larry King Live. Notice Bill loses his shit early on and bases his approach to the material on a straw man argument (he attempts to argue against an assertion none of them have made). Reasoning skills 101 nono. His points are otherwise not bad, but he also insults the intelligence and skirts very close to impugning the honesty of the people in the room with him. A good lesson in how not to go about being a skeptic.

Reasons (not) to freak out: is the 2012 apocalypse bullshit or not?

I think it's best to lead off this article with a link to a Cracked.com article which clearly denounces all 2012 apocalypse nuttery as bullshit. Cracked.com is actually a surprisingly reliable source on some things, and the bias (everything is written with bias) is towards humor, which at the very least satisfies the critical rationalist's desire to see things examined with criticism and socratic dialectics. So, here you go!

My agenda in writing this is not to convince you of anything. Hell, I'm not convinced of anything! Science fiction author John Shirley has accused me of wearing an intellectual condom. He meant it as a dig at me, but I actually was sort of tickled by the allegation. So, before you roll your eyes at me for writing this article, please know that my only goal here is just to make information available.

If we are still here in 2013, I will, as penance, write a follow-up post ridiculing my past self for having any sort of an interest in the big picture!

So, let's see what they're saying about 2012: and let's start with Michio Kaku.

Famous and respected physicist Michio Kaku had this to say on August 19, 2010. Notice how he clenches his teeth while entertaining the moronic jabbering of the reporters he is talking to.

Here he is in December of 2010 chuckling dismissively about 2012 apocalyptic hysteria, emphasizing that people often forget the whole bit about "renewal" that goes along with the silly Mayan prophecies, and then saying that he's not really losing any sleep about it.

Here he is in early 2011 saying that he's been losing a bit of sleep at night.

Now, let's flash forward to November 4, 2011! Kaku, getting the brush-off from even stupider people, issues this warning! At about 2:15 he emphasizes, "We scientists made a mistake!" and then goes into some detail about how calculations of the forthcoming solar storm activity were off by at least a factor of 20. "We physicists are sounding the alert!"

Now, I know what you're thinking. If this was anything but total bullshit, surely NASA would be all over warning us, right? Or at least, they'd be warning their own people! Isn't it sort of weird to hear a government official babbling about a continuity of government exercise called "Eagle Horizon"?

Hrm. Well, I mean, if any of this was real, surely people would be noticing a real difference in their physical environment, right?

These Inuit fellas are probably about as sophisticated as the stupid Mayans, right?

Whatever. Let's have a look at what people in Antarctica think: oh, here's a guy who noticed a while ago that the sun was coming up at the wrong time of year.

Here's a guy who has noticed that compass headings are way off and that the sun is setting in the wrong place. But he's probably just another knob, right? Heck, maybe his compass is sitting on a magnetic rail.

Sooo, hell, I decided to go right to the source. Listed on my Twitter feed is Scott Maxwell, NASA's very own Mars Rover driver. Below is my tweet to him, and his response.

@marsroverdriver dude, inuit people are freaking out that the sun is setting in the wrong place and compass headings are off. reassure me.

@boylegd Fear not. The sun will rise in the right place tomorrow, you'll see. All is well.

@marsroverdriver That was a pretty specific reassurance, but thanks! :)

So, there you have it. All is well!

I did notice last summer that the sun was setting in the wrong place, but I dismissed it as a brainfart. I think that's an important clue to the nature of consciousness. Just as well, I guess.

You know what? If I was one of the Secret Masters and was looking for a chance to blow up Iran, I'd probably piggyback it on some sort of big natural upheaval! They should hire me at the Pentagon to give them ideas.
