The connection between Genesis 1―4 and Skinwalker Ranch   Image by author using ChatGPT This is a connect-the-dots article. If you had asked me 20 years ago why there was suffering in the world, I’d have answered that it’s because we live in a fallen world. Meaning, Adam and Eve “fell,” or sinned, so death reigned from Adam to Moses, not just in human souls, but in all of nature; but God gave us a means of atonement through the Law. Meanwhile, we are all born with the stain of original sin, and we need the waters of baptism or the forgiveness of Jesus to cleanse sin away. Catholics and Protestants alike dub this Original Sin. All humanity is born with it. Dot number one, the Genesis serpent “Every source has a purpose,’ writes Lauren McCormick for Bible History Daily . “A document created by a government, ruler, or institution is not simply a neutral record of everything that happened. It reflects the concerns and priorities of the people who produced it. So the impor...

Astrophysicist Travis Taylor A Utah ranch. Scientific measurements. Paranormal activity. And the hitchhiker effect. “There are days,” said Travis, “When we all feel packing up and getting out of here.” The Skinwalker Ranch Investigations In June, 2022, UFO journalist George Knapp, author of The Hunt for the Skinwalker , interviewed astrophysicist Travis Taylor, participant in the TV series “The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch,” which just ended Season 5. The show ran in tandem with “Beyond Skinwalker Ranch,” in which two investigators, one a journalist and the other a former CIA employee, search out the connection between hauntings and alien lore on other western ranches. I was taken by a comment of Taylor while the two newish sleuths were describing the weirdness and possible danger of their findings. “There are days,” said Travis, “When we all feel like packing up and getting out of here.” Travis was reflecting on the harm that the haunting entities have the capacity, and often willin...

David Grusch’s statement is the tip of the iceberg. One of the big news items this month of June 2023, besides the indictment and arraignment of former president Donald Trump, has been the statement by David Grusch, veteran of the Air Force, former member of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office ( AARO ) and co-leader of UAP task force for the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency. He claims that the U.S. government has closeted away actual downed craft from another world or dimension and that they also maintain the bodies of dead non-human pilots. He said the government has been covering this up for decades. It’s so secret that even Congress isn’t kept informed (but every UFO/UAP believer has known all this since 1947). Some heavy hitters with awesome resumes have confirmed Grusch’s statement. Of course, neither they nor Grusch can produce an ounce of evidence to support the statement, so it was easy for the government to debunk his claim. Statement by Susan Gough, “ To date, AAR...

  This information is taken largely from interviews recently conducted on Jerry Pippen’s  www.ufoshows2go/mufon_under_seige.htm . “We looked around and the bodies were lying everywhere. We looked at each other and said, Well I’ll be damned.” And so, the troupe of newly and summarily fired started a group called The Committee to Reform Mufon. (From Elaine Douglass, founder of the group) In the early months of 2011 a surprising number of MUFON State Directors, Field Investigators, and Assistant State Directors were either dismissed, urged to resign, or resigned in protest. Two of the biggest names, Ken Cherry (former State Director of TX) and James Carrion (former International Director), had already left. Several members left with Cherry, but once they were gone, things stabilized. For a while. Then the investigations began, but they didn’t follow the kind of logic that would leave a sense of closure. Stunning Arrogance Chase Kloetzke, Star Team Manager under Clifford Clift (no...

First, let me reiterate that the Battle for MUFON is over. The chips have fallen where they will, and hopefully things are as they should be. I am still a member, and those who asked me 2010 if they should quit, I encouraged to stay in. There is no substitute for MUFON, at least here in the US. It has been over a year since I last blogged. I've been teaching Old Testament classes in my church and I've written a second book, which will hopefully come out this year. When the dust of the 2010 MUFON mutiny settled and Jan Harzan became the new president, I wrote him and asked for his assurance that a new day had dawned in MUFON and the break with BAASS was firm. He assured me that it was indeed a new day. The problem with the former relationship was that some MUFON board members had security clearances and close relationships with Bigelow, BAASS colleagues, and perhaps even with members of the military-industrial complex...you know...the one that has been covering up UFO disclo...

This information is taken largely from interviews recently posted on Jerry Pippin’s www.ufoshows2go.com/mufon_under_seige.htm . What could possibly go wrong with Robert Bigelow funding If Clifton Clift, the International Director of MUFON after James Carrion resigned, thought that dismissing Ken Cherry (former State Director of TX) would settle the oncoming ruckus, he was wrong. Rattled by a pattern of unsettling and mystifying events, the insurrection continued. In Chase Kloetzke’s interview (member since ’96), she described her thrill at being named Star Team Manager for MUFON. She promised her friend Elaine that if she couldn’t be honest and straightforward she would resign. She assured the State Directors that she would not by-pass them, steal cases, or bully their Field Investigators. That made everyone happy. Even after Cherry left, “they had every part of me that was good.” She had an impressive resume of service to the military to prove that she had expertise. Essentially, ...

Supposed UFO, Passaic, New Jersey wikicommons UFO history is once again being made. The UFO phenomenon really hit the airwaves in 1947 with three major cases. I will only name them here because in UFO lore they are already famous. I speak of the Roswell crash, the Maury Island case, and Kenneth Arnold’s sighting of the discs that became known as flying saucers. The Air Force got involved with Project Sign in 1947, which became Project Grudge in 1949, and Project Blue Book in 1951. In 1953, another committee produced a report called the Robertson Panel, which concluded that UFOs are not a significant threat to public safety or national security and do not require official attention. Scientists interested in UFO research, experiencers, and believers all found the methodology and conclusions of these projects to be extremely unsatisfying. In 1969, Project Blue Book (which should have been called Project Eyeroll) was closed. That year, another committee report, the result of two year...
