To better understand this little event, I need to share something relevant. At the end of last summer I had seen so many owls, that I needed a way to quantify what I was seeing. It was exasperating, and finally I overtly stated to the universe that I would only pay attention to owls that
CROSSED MY PATH. I said it out loud as a declaration. For reasons unknown, right after that, all my owl sightings involved them crossing my path.
There is a bike path right in front of my house that goes straight into the center of the little town I call home. Two days ago, in the late afternoon I saw my old girlfriend from exactly a decade ago, she was jogging with a her three kids the bike path (I’ll call her Carol, not her real name). Two of her children were on bikes and the youngest was in a stroller. I rode my bike slowly along side Carol, and we chatted. Her only daughter (about 8 years old) was on a bike a little ways in front of us.
At one point, her little son said he had cold hands and she pulled out a pair of gloves for him - and at the same time we both realized that I had given her those gloves as a gift a decade ago!
We both talked about all the animals we had seen recently (moose, badgers, coyotes, foxes) and I told her that I’
ve been seeing a LOT of owls. Less than two minutes later I saw an owl fly
ACROSS OUR PATH and land on a low branch in a tree just a little ways in front of us. I was the only one who saw it, and in the
way the bike path turned, I only
caught a brief
glimpse. This happened near a bridge in small stretch of cottonwoods. I whispered to the two children who didn't see it, and we all quietly walked toward the tree until we were right up close. It was right next to the Teton Creek, right along side of the bike path.
It was a handsome Great Horned Owl, a little less than 18" tall. It had those iconic "cat" tufts that look like ears, and electric bright yellow eyes. This was an unusual sighting in the daylight, and I think this is as close as I have ever been to a perched owl. I'm not kidding, it was probably 15 feet from where we stood on the bike path!
It stared down at us for about a minute, and then casually flew off. It felt like it was posing for us. Everything about the experience was beautiful.
I'll add after the owl flew off, the daughter was asking over and over and over, "Mom, do you love Mike?" This
wasn't awkward at all, it was entirely endearing.
Carol and her daughter (who was right up close to the owl in the tree) both show up in
the fourth posting on this blog. My friend Kristy held this little girl's hand on the hiking trail the morning after we saw the 3 owls (the first time) in 2006. I’ll add that we all saw a big beautiful moose that morning!
Carol shows up
HERE too, in an experience that I can only call psychic.

This wasn’t a formal interview, both of us were speculating off the cuff about what might be unfolding. We ended up overlapping the core subjects of both of our ongoing writings and viewpoints. The conversation ended up getting pretty deep, until we were pondering the search for God.
Alas, this was shamelessly lifted and plagiarised from Mac Tonnies blog, Post Human Blues. I encourage everyone to get lost in this delightful collection of postings.

Their website for A.D. features excerpts from the book, as well as a series of follow up essays. Rich also has a site called Keyhole Publishing, this serves as the homepage for his other two self published books on the history of the modern UFO age.
It's tricky to try and describe this woman. Besides the fact that she’s the author of six books, she has an encyclopedic knowledge of the esoteric and it's implications. Her insights range from the murky paranormal goings on at the notorious Montauk base at the tip of Long Island to the cutting edge quantum sciences. Plus, she quite a skilled communicator, so it's a delight to try and keep up with her rapid fire mind.

Here’s a link to all her books on an amazon authors page.
Nick Redfern has just published a new work titled FINAL EVENTS, he states that this is: "the stangest book I've ever written."
The book is subtitled: The Secret Government Group on Demonic UFOs and the Afterlife.
One of the most powerful things that has happened since starting this blog is that people have been sharing their life experiences with me. Over the last few days, I've been corresponding with a person (who's name will remain private, for purposes here, I'll call him Sam), and the encounters he shares are astounding, and at the same time maddeningly typical. Below is my reply to him, edited slightly.
The extremely unsettling writings from Dan Mitchell are back on-line (click HERE). In April of this year he took down the blog in it's previous incarnation. The story he shared during that phase was saturated in haunting imagery and frightening implications. It read like something from Whitley Strieber or H.P. Lovecraft.
I am deeply impressed with Chuck Weiss and his profound openness. He tells a story that might seem typical among the alien contact literature, but his calm and thoughtful analysis of his own experiences sets him apart in a way that makes me pay very close attention to his claims. His story might be almost impossible to believe, except for the fact that he presents the first-hand details in such a thoughtful tone.
His site, Alien Abduction-The Blog, features the entire content of his book serialized in separate postings. Also featured are on-going essays about his experiences and insights.
