UFOs: Why Humanoid Aliens? Why So Varied?

Here’s what we know: People report seeing things in the sky they cannot explain. Reported objects come in all shapes and sizes: saucers and triangles and cigar shapes and everything in between. Glowing orbs and rotating lights have been reported as well. Some people report encountering entities associated with these objects. They, too, come in all shapes and sizes, but most reports of the beings are anthropomorphic. Due to a lack of better explanation, some people conclude (despite all the differences) that there’s a core truth here that the human race is not alone, that it’s being visited or coexisting with an entity that appears to be so advanced and mysterious that it’s nearly godlike. We don’t know if the entities are extraterrestrials, interdimensional beings, or some combination thereof. They are, however, undoubtedly the greatest players of hide-and-seek the human race has ever encountered.

In the early days of UFOlogy, that of the 1940s, 1950s, and some decades later, the extraterrestrial hypothesis was the preferred explanation. But it never panned out; there never was a White House landing or equally clear public revelation. So UFOlogy evolved, only in the wrong direction. An intelligence was still assumed in play, and the search continued to explain what it was. Name your flavor of what it is and there’s now a book, blog, or article trying to convince you of the author’s preferred hypothesis: extraterrestrials, ultradimensionals, interdimensionals, and even demons bent on perverting Christians.

In an attempt to throw a larger fishing net to explain the diversity of the phenomenon, Jacques Vallee penned Passport to Magonia in 1969, cataloging stories similar to twentieth-century UFO encounters. Vallee showed that UFO reports go back as far as the oldest written records and are just as varied as today. Sightings were interpreted

Touring the Streets of Oaklandon - AGAIN!

After posting an announcement on the Nextdoor website about the existence of this humble website, I was very pleased with the interest and overall positive response by many of my neighbors (who are also users of that system.) Among the many comments received was one from Nancy Hannet which offered the source photo for the image to the left and the words "An older gentleman who lived in Oaklandon all his life gave me this paper." I could only make-out the title and the fact that there was a map so I reached out to Nancy to discover the author's name and any other clues that might lead me to a copy I could examine. Knowing only the name Victor Harris and guessing it to be an article from the (now defunct) Lawrence Topics Newspaper this article proved to be very rare indeed. Through Nancy's neighborly generosity, I was able to scan her xerox document and thereby present the article once more to the public, in an effort to assist the late Mr. Harris in his stated purpose for writing this historical thumbnail sketch of Oaklandon. The available copy of this article unfortunately had the right-most edge clipped in the duplication process so I have been forced to reco

So Long Facebook Login

Sorry but we have been given no choice

Sorry to our users who have logged-in using facebook authentication in the past and can no longer do so now. A "security enhancement" by facebook no longer allows log-ins to websites that do not use an encrypted connection (such as BlogDogIt.) We find this a bit ridiculous since the whole point of OAuth (authentication) is to provide an encrypted method to verify credentials... oh, well. That's progress.
