Sammy Hagar: Alien Abductee?

Welcome to Weird News Wednesday. This week's topic of speculation is Sammy Hagar's announcement that he was abducted by aliens--the details can be found in his new book:

For a link to check it out on Amazon, click here.

Let me inform those of you who are not well-versed in classic rock, Sammy Hagar is mostly well-known for being the 2nd lead singer of the group Van Halen. He's a Rock and Roll Hall-of-Famer, and he also has the nickname "The Red Rocker." Right now he's making music with the supergroup Chickenfoot.

But back to the alien thing...

In his new book, Hagar discusses how when he was only four years old, he saw what he thought to be "a car with no wheels...floating across a field." He now believes it was really a UFO.

Later experiences of his include being "plugged in" to actual aliens from other planets, as well as seeing another ship and two creatures (though he couldn't see their faces).

"They were connected to me," he says, "tapped into my mind through some kind of mysterious wireless connection...They were tapped into my brain and the knowledge was transferred back and forth."

To those of you who may have your doubts, he insists it "friggin' happened."

For a full interview from The Guardian on the subject, click here.

The book was ironically released on March 20, which I just learned is "Alien Abduction Day." Coincidence? Naaaah. Hagar knew what he was doing.

What do you think?

Think he's crazy?

Think he's telling the truth?

Do you believe in alien abductions?

As always, the comments section is open for you to share your views, and your weird news. Thanks for stopping by today!

Did Stanley Fulham Predict the Tragic Japan Earthquake?

Some of you may have read my blog from a while back on the major New York City UFO sighting in October 2010. If you are unaware of what that was, click here for a video.

The video also talks about Stanley Fulham, who predicted the event.

Stanley Fulham

A retired NORAD officer who firmly believed in life on other worlds, Fulham passed away late in 2010 from his battle with cancer. In between the New York sighting and his death, I ordered his book Challenges of Change and read it.

Aside from the UFO display, the author makes another very interesting prediction in this book, a prediction of a major occurrence that is happening in the world right now:

The Japan Earthquake.

If you haven't heard about it (and I'll be really surprised if you haven't), you can find the latest news on the story (as of 15 minutes ago at the time of this post) here.

But back to the prediction...

In Challenges of Change (page 176, Third Edition, paperback) Fulham claims to be reporting the following warning from alien entities in a dimension outside of ours. These beings are known as Transcendors :

"A major earth fault shift in the Pacific ocean creates a huge tsunami with its major disruptions occurring in the period 2010 - 2012. Lands disappear and new lands appear. Japan, as Edgar Cayce predicted years ago, will be totally inundated; so will other nations...The earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, as tragic as they were, are but the precursor of the greater earth changes that will follow, possibly in late 2010, and culminating in major eruptions in 2012."


Coincidence?

True prediction?

If it's just blind luck, then we can just go on with our merry lives and not give it another second of thought.

But if it is true...humans are in for one heck of a surprise. The book is packed with information (truth? lies?) that will make your head spin--the major bit of information being that We Are Not Alone in the Universe.

In all seriousness though, my heart goes out to the people of Japan during this horrible tragedy. If you'd like to donate to helping the relief fund, visit the Red Cross Website. Thanks for stopping by today. Comments are always welcome.

The Final Countdown

Hey All! How's February going for everyone? Or 2011 for that matter? Following any new blogs? Have any new interests?

As many of you know, one of my growing interests of the past couple of years is UFOs. I came across a blog some months ago, UFO Disclosure Countdown Clock, and have since been following it religiously. If you're mildly interested in UFOs as entertainment or if you're somewhat of an obsessed nut (like myself), who believes we have been/are being visited you will really dig Rick's blog. To my delight, he posts regularly, and he is THE source for up-to-date UFO/Strange Phenomena news. I can't get enough of the blog, frankly.

One of the things I really like about Rick's style is that he takes everything with a grain of salt. Although he blogs about all the best UFO-related news, he doesn't necessarily believe in every YouTube video he finds. He welcomes all opinions, and if you can debunk something, do it! He gives his frank point of view on his topics, but his commentary is always filled with educated arguments (and that definitely appeals to my former debate teacher side). Ultimately, he is just searching for the truth, which entitles him to a lot of respect in my opinion.

I, too, want the truth. Growing up, I didn't give too much thought to UFOs. I figured there could be such a thing, but I was of the mind that most pictures and videos out there were pranks. Or I just didn't think about it at all. Then, a couple years ago, my father started getting interested in UFOs when he saw a strange craft on his morning drive to work one day. He called and told me about it, and about how he started doing some research online, and that the information found on the good ol' Net was mind-boggling. He has since joined MUFON and is an official field investigator for the area.

I began my own search, and that same day, my mother called to tell me about an acquaintance in Stephenville, TX, who told her an interesting story about some relative of hers. The woman's relative had seen a pretty major UFO there in the Stephenville area (which, for those of you who don't know, is notorious for sightings of this kind). The woman informed my mother that her relative (who if I'm not mistaken, is a rather prominent man in government) had been threatened by men in dark suits not to say anything of his discovery.

I found these two stories in one day quite the coincidence. Several days and many late-night-YouTubings later, I was stargazing in my back yard, when I saw what I believe to have been a UFO. It seemed waaay far up, so it had to be huge. But it was triangular in shape, and its coloring resembled that of the stars around it, almost as if it were camouflaged. I just happened to catch it moving from one side of the sky to the next in about 4 seconds of silent (fast!) travel, and I was floored. It wasn't a satellite, wasn't a plane, wasn't a comet. I think I really saw something.

So I'm a believer. Or as the famous poster says, "I want to believe." But most importantly, I want to get at the truth. For all of you who also would like to delve into the mysterious universe of secrets that is UFO news and lore, visit Rick's blog, UFO Disclosure Countdown Clock! At the very least, you'll find well-researched posts by a guy who is awesomely passionate about this topic.


In other news, I've finally started in on my New Year's Resolution to mediate more. I'm reading through Bhante Henepola Gunaratana's Mindfulness In Plain English and starting to get the hang of it. In the near future, I'll be posting about my experiences entering into that practice.

Also, no updates as of right now on Vengeful Bounty. Still waiting to get my first set of edits to work on, and I am frothing at the bit to get started!

Taa-taa for now!
