Conspiracy Theory

So, I've started watching this show with Jesse Ventura on TruTV called Conspiracy Theory. My Uncle has nearly got me hooked on it. Will give updates!

Personal UFO Sighting

Yesterday, while at school, I witnessed an interesting UFO around Lake Land Campus. After my world civilization course, we decided to go to Marathon to get a pack of smokes. I noticed a bright starlike object in the sky. It was around 345 pm - well before stars were out. The object went from bright to dull then back to bright and then disappeared. I pointed out to Mark, and he didn't see it. Well, it reappeared again - this time in a different position. Got bright and then disappeared again - this time Mark seen it. As we pulled into Marathon, it was still not seen in the sky. After I got done and came back to the car, we both seen it again - this time brighter than it had been the previous two times. It sat there for roughly a minute. Then disappeared again. As we got out of the car at Lake Land again, it was gone - but there were 5 high flying jets in the sky. Very interesting.

Operation Big Buzz and other government programs

During my research, I came across several mentions of programs related to MKULTRA. By far the most interesting to me are the Operations Big Buzz, Big Itch, Mayday, Magic Sword, and Drop Kick. In 1981, the government released documents that detailed the cost of launching Mosquito attacks and eventually the above mentioned operations became public. Reading up on the projects and operations really dealt a blow to me on the  nature of the government itself and its role. I was very surprised at these projects. It begs the question: if the government will carry out covert tests on its own people, what else is it capable of?

FBI UFO files

I just came across these rather recently and have had the time to browse through many of these documents. A few things strike me as rather peculiar. First, is the document found on pg. 45 of this listing on the FBI FOIA UFO list: FOIA FBI. Here we have J. Edgar Hoover admitting that the military has, indeed, recovered something at a case referred to in this document as the La. Case (or the SA Case - as some sites have it, but given his flowery writing this looks clearly to be an L to me.) The question then becomes: what is the La. (or Sa.) case? Given the dating of the document on 7/10/47 (see page 44), it is clear that this would either refer back to the Battle of Los Angeles on Feb. 1942 or another case more recent to the date of the memo.Other documents within the FOIA collection fail to shed any light as to exactly what the La. Case (or Sa. Case) was. The absence of evidence regarding this case does not, however, impact the revelation of Hoover regarding the recovery of crash remains at a site pre-Roswell. The second, and last, thing that struck me about the many documents on the FOIA FBI website is the extent to which the FBI, under Hoover, investigated the UFO phenomenon. From 1947, the FBI investigated the phenomenon regularly in cooperation with Air Force investigators. The extent of the investigations and the information provided in the documents regarding the findings stands remarkably in the face of the findings of the Condon Report, Project Blue Book, and other UFO investigative projects. This site is definitely worth a reading for anyone interested in the Governments role in the investigation of UFO phenomenon.

Blog Intent and Purpose

The intent of this blog is to display daily my research into ghost and ufo phenomenon. The purpose, in the end, is to discover the truth regarding the existence (or lack there of) of both of these phenomenon.

I got started on this project during the past two months after being asked to do a persuasive research project on UFO phenomenon for my college English Composition course. In those two months, I have devoted a large amount of my free time to researching various aspects of the UFO phenomenon from the 1940s to the modern day. In conducting my research, I have come across all sorts of evidence running the gamut from the plausible tothe most far-fetched. I have visited many UFOlogy sites on the internet and have heard and seen claims that, to be honest, seem to sustain an air of ridicule to the topic and furthermore appear to be the result of inadequate research or illogical deduction methods of the compilers. That said, my own research into the matter does reflect that there is truly something to the phenomenon. Whether the craft are truly from outer space is anyone's guess. So, I hope that readers of this will enjoy the evidence that I will be posting here in regards to these paranormal topics.
