Falkor is that you?!!?

Odd bit of cloud-like `whatever' recorded in Japan on January the 6th.

For the record, the Falkor I refer to in the title is Falkor the Luckdragon from the Never Ending Story.

Is this even a crime?

With pumpkins selling for around 29 cents a pound the item below, in which an unknown person or persons left a circle of 30 pumpkins in the back yard of someone, sounds like an unlikely and expensive prank.  

Mystery of the 30 Pumpkins

The thing to do would be to see if any farmers had recently had a large number of pumpkins had been stolen, that would then put things more in the realm prankster territory.

If that’s the case, you have to at least give whoever did it credit for not just busting them up and leaving remains on the road for someone else to clean up, which would be the usual action of say drunken punks on a spree.

The circle I would say shows something of the psychology of those who did it.

As for the doughnuts…. Shrugs.

Summer almost over... Will "Flap" of 2011 go with it?

Whatever the case there does seem quite a bit going on.

But will it go leave with the end of summer?

Keep your eye on the glowing orb.

Like this one in Alabama

Or these three that gave some teens a scare

Or perhaps like this white boat watching sphere in Sweden

Even if you're in space

But don't count on them staying the same shape

However if "real" then what?

John Podesta says time to talk

They use to call them Flaps.

Back long in the long ago we use to call them flaps, UFO Flaps, times where sighting spiked like crazy, seems we're having one now.

Dozens of odd sightings all over the world, such as just these three, starting with a “Scorpion-shaped” UFO seen in the skies over Los Cristianos, Spain.

That's no Scorpion!

Clear UFOs?

And of course a HUGE one.

Those are just 3 of many many more in the last few months, and yet no one calls them flaps anymore.

Ah well.

Weird Cool Stuff in Space and Near Space

Someone call the Justice League its...........

STARRO!

However, do note that while 11,000 miles an hour is fast, they are working on a missile that will best that by going 14,340 miles an hour and will, as soon as they can get it to work, be able to reach any where on Earth in under an hour.

Plus

This is the sound a shooting star makes

WHOOOSH zuzuzuzuzuz

Then there is the following bit of way out there weirdness.

That's no Moon!
Anyway, lot of cool stuff in space this week.

The Eyes Have it!

I forget who it was, but years ago I read an article by someone who speculated that the pulp magazines of the 30s and 40s may have fueled at lot of the things that took over the imaginations of the American public in the 50s.

With the Purple Invasion of Operator 5, along with all the other cults, masked armies, wild crime hoards bent on taking over the country faced by him, and others like him, such as The Spider and Secret Agent X, unknowingly primed the public's mind for J. Edger Hover and his all pervasive Red Menace.

And then there were all those saucer shaped space ships showing up on the covers and inside Air Wonder Stories, Science Wonder Stories, Amazing Stories etc... and then the UFO mania of the 50s.

Okay... and?

Well a lot of people have forgotten this, but in the early lore of glowing things seen in the sky, when people said they saw people, or critters getting out of them they were a mixed bunch indeed, with things from ten foot call, “ace of spade headed” giants, to four foot tall “brains with glowing eyes,” to hairy trolls, and more, along with many accounts, of “blonde Nordic” or “dusky foreign” types.

Then Whitley Strieber and his Über creepy Grays come along, and that was it for two thirds of all accounts after that.

Now take a look at this issue of Weird Tales from September of 1952, the cover is by the great Virgil Finlay (July 23, 1914 – January 18, 1971) illustrating a poem by H. P. Lovecraft.

Close enough for me. I'm not saying this proves anything, about anything, I'm just saying it is interesting. Coincidence? Fiction being used to mystery monger? Images entering the collective conscious? Finlay on to something and using it in his art? Beats me. Just thought I would put this up for a view and a thought.

Oh... and here is another one from Mr. Finlay. Any thoughts from the David Icke camp?
