two articles feature my ideas about owls and UFOs

Illustration By Natsumi Chikayasu

My research was recently featured in the online magazine VICE. I had an excellent conversation with journalist Tamlin Magee, and from his questions I knew he had read my book, and took my ideas seriously. 

This lead to a follow up article in THE STAR, a rather dubious UK tabloid. All they did was pick the most sensationalistic bits from VICE, and then post these in a way that got nearly everything wrong. Oh well. 

The VICE article is recommended, and pretty much every sentence in THE STAR made me cringe.
 

Excerpt from Tamlin Magee’s article:
It all began after Clelland saw owls circling overhead for an entire hour during a 2006 camping trip. Familiar with a supposed UFO-owl link, Clelland intuitively felt there was something mystical, otherworldly, or even alien to the animals above. Moved by the events, Clelland eventually connected owl sightings to disturbing alien abduction experiences of his own, spurring him to post a call for any strange owl anecdotes on his website. 

To his surprise, the stories streamed in, tying the birds to UFOs, abductions, "missing time," and other strange phenomena. Meanwhile, owls began to manifest themselves to Clelland "in a flurry of weirdness," for instance, appearing to hover at eye-level before fluttering away as he rode his bike through his small Idaho town. Now, he's collected thousands of accounts, with at least one landing in his inbox every day. 

"That people are actually having experiences that imply contact with some sort of non-human intelligence is strange enough," Clelland writes in his book. "Adding owls into the mix makes it all the more bizarre. Like a performance on a stage, the owl is playing a small role in the grand drama. The part it plays is a riddle begging to be solved."

I wouldn't worry about those wankers at THE STAR running VICE's story basically backwards, because STAR spelled backwards is RATS, so no wonder they wouldn't like OWL stories painted in a good, or mysterious light :-P

Hi Mike- very interesting. I predict the mass media will wake from its long slumber and you shall sell many books...but also lose things like privacy and peace. Mike - we still need to talk - I have things to say that you need to hear. Maybe Bledsoe's woman / parcel / bull shall manifest on Thursday... or maybe not... who knows... there is great mystery. Mike, you've been important to my journey. Time for me to be important to yours.

I have A couple ideas and some experiences along my journey as I am learning and growing as a student of life. From documented In pictures -out fishing in the bear river I took two pictures that are on my Instagram right after that everything with a battery died (oddly I did hear a strange almost metallic cow sounds I don't know how to explain it ),it seemed like about 45 minutes past it was around seven about 20 minutes later it was getting dark we got ready to get in the truck and it was 6 o'clock in the morning ...Then it seemed that I got the time back a couple of months later when I was in Anaheim and in traffic Wednesday (the same weekend Robins Williams died by the way). however I made it to La Jolla and back in 25 minutes ...I thought that the exit is at Harbor Boulevard was to take the next exit to get on the next freeway but it was not I was back in Anaheim and this is also in pictures that is also on Instagram.
I obviously couldn't teleport somewhere however I made it from Anaheim California to La Jolla California in 20 minutes at rush-hour.
however the owl I would love to speak with you about because I do have a encounter with a very large one however he would need to get in contact it is well does my email get in touch and I would love to speak with you.

God will continue to bless you Dr. Twah more abundantly for the good work you are doing in peoples life by curing them from different type of diseases. I will keep on testifying about your good work. I was living with Herpes 6 months ago and my doctor told me that there is no cure. I did not believe him and i keep my faith up hoping that one day i will be cured from this horrible disease. One day i saw a post on diabetes forum about a herbal doctor called Dr. Twaha on how he cure people from diseases with his root and herbs and i quickly contact Dr. Twaha  on his email and explain my problem to him and he told me not to worry that he is going to cure me and truly he prepared the herbal medicine and send it to me through UPS courier  delivery service and gave me instructions on how to take it. After 14 days of taking  the herbal medicine , i went to my doctor for checkup and my herpes result show Negative and my doctor told me that there is no trace of herpes  in my body and the herpes  is completely gone You can also be cured from any type of diseases by contacting Dr. Twaha on his email: drlregbeyen10000@gmail.com or WhatsApp him on +2349038518881 God bless you
