More strange UK lights.

I post about UFOs because I think that media coverage and mass sightings are opportunities for people to push the edges of their assumptions about reality.

This past week has been really strong in that respect.

Like art designed to evoke a feeling, perhaps these displays serve groups of people seeking a non threatening, yet "unexplainable" event, to force themselves to reexamine their assumptions about reality.

Regardless of what they think those lights in the sky were, the experience made them think and question.

UFO sighting sparks worldwide interest

Could ‘Tentacle’ UFO Have Destroyed UK Wind Turbine?

New Year's New UFO's

Well this year's starting off with an interesting spate of UFO sightings in the UK, while there was this one on New Years Day in Sawbridgeworth, It was Saturday night that apparently lit up the sky.

Sightings in Oxford, also in Ifield, and that same night in Louth, something even damaged a wind turbine! (image via: Louth Leader)

Something tells me it's significant that at the same time over in Ireland., they were busy experiencing their own variety of unexplained phenomena.

UPDATE: Video and more witnesses for New Year's day UFO

Does it have to be a space ship?

I am often stuck that people seem to have stopped questioning what unidentified objects are and only debate if they exist.

Remember when it came out that Dennis Kucinich had seen a UFO? The Congressman had to defend to the media and the masses that just because he had seen something; "Hey, it was UN-identified", that didn't automatically mean he believed in little green men.

The question these days is not "What is that light in the sky?" but more, "Is it an alien from another planet or the Air Force on secret maneuvers?". I find it interesting because I think both sides might be wrong.

What if these occurrences and experiences are not that simple? After all, it's easy to imagine a man from space, right? Even if he's a freaky looking person, he's still a person. He (or she,....or it) still put that space suit on one leg at a time. Climbed into a ship that used technology to travel across space as we know it and start a picnic, or maybe an invasion.

Think about it, all those concepts are totally familiar, humans have been getting in ships and landing and invading longer than anyone can remember. So really this "STRANGE" space alien thing is actually pretty well within our everyday frame of reference.

What if the idea of aliens visiting our plant is the "cover-up"? One that we manufacture ourselves, no conspiracy needed. What if these events are pushing the edges of our agreed upon reality and we haven't figured out how to interpret what we're seeing, so we're grasping at familiar ideas?

Here's some new footage that recently hit the news in the UK. Just for fun, consider for a moment; what if it really happened, and it's not a hoax, but neither is it space aliens, government testing nor an errant weather balloon...what else could this be?

"Ghost" on mainstream news

CNN covered this story about an apparition that apparently appeared on the security cameras at gas station awhile back.

It's the story that inspired a persistent idea that a part of this big "awakening" is that the mass consciousness seems willing to expand their awareness to include "evidence" of something unexplainable on mainstream media.

(I believe that humans are only one of endless varieties of consciousness, and that the only reason we aren't consciously aware of everyone else is that we're choosing to limit our perceptions to the "game" we think of as life).

What catches my attention here is that the reporter and interviewees have no conceptual framework to discuss about this apparition beyond referring to it as a "ghost" or "angel" .

Something tells me this is just the beginning, (not that it's anything new to have footage of something strange, but it IS new for a large news outfit like CNN to think its valid enough to cover it.) If I'm right and things start showing up, we're gonna need a new vocabulary that extends beyond religious iconography if we ever hope to understand our relationships with extra-dimensional beings.
