Why We Drain The Broccoli...

Alfred Lehmberg at alienviews - 4 days ago
*"I cleave the heavens, and soar to the infinite. * *What others see from afar, I leave far behind me."* *Giordano Bruno, scourged by the well-meaning TORR.* Why We Drain The Broccoli... by Alfred Lehmberg Or... why are the *ostensibly "*rational" and "reasonable" singled out for a vituperative thrashing I might engender and prosecute elsewhere on the more deserving? Could it be a result of that "more deserving" being entirely unapproachable, even consensus poisoning in the manner of your friendly neighborhood tea-party Republican? You can't discuss UFOs with Bill Nye or ... more »

...Ultimate Sedition...

Alfred Lehmberg at alienviews - 1 week ago
*.* See, *you* said it! It happened! You *only* spoke truth! The opposite's unthinkable! I'd held you aloof. You *parents*, and *teachers—*my *culture*, or *government*; you got my *attention*—secured my *involvement*. *.* You served it all up with the *straightest *of faces! You *believed *it yourself; now dissonance faced us. With a primitive sound and occasional pictures, you employed your devices of half-truths and stricture. *.* I bought into it, fine, *as you played with my mind!* I believed in whatever you *said*, you will find! I’m just a good citizen, and I’m paying my taxes... more »

Best Evidence?

Alfred Lehmberg at alienviews - 2 weeks ago
Best Evidence? by Alfred Lehmberg Even as the producer/director (inexplicably!) eventually did, do I revision *entirely*, repudiate *ironically*, or mea-culpa *humbly*? I suspect not, reader. That's against Ufological guild bylaws and conflicts with the poet/warrior charter. Issues, *of course*, remain. Moreover, pushing 70 I've learned there is often another shoe to drop, eh? Yes, my perhaps too tediously prosecuted and melodramatic multi-media perturbation with the *irrepressible* Paul Kimball was long, detailed, and easily (*if* tediously) Googled. True, we've battled mag... more »

On The Subject Of ET Crashlanders...

Alfred Lehmberg at alienviews - 3 weeks ago
*Today is the 64th Anniversary of the * *"Frametown Monster" Incident* *The "Flatwoods Monster" Returns?* Not Flatwoods! Frametown, eh? This is a whole other fish kettle and downed alien aviator incident, a result of the war declared upon them, perhaps. No smiles here. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the woods of Braxton County, eh? See, on the night following the "Flatwoods Monster" incident, another terrifying alien close encounter occurred in Braxton County, about 17-miles away in the Frametown area. It was September 13, 1952, about 8:00 pm in the same ... more »

Alfred Lehmberg at alienviews - 3 weeks ago
Feschino: Veni, Vidi, Scripsi... By Alfred Lehmberg September 12, 1952... today, it's been 64 years... On the old "Strange Days Indeed" radio program with the late Errol Bruce-Knapp one Saturday night years ago, I heard Stanton Friedman say that Frank Feschino's book on the Flatwoods monster, The Summer Of Saucers 1952, and the documented military involvement with same... air war with ET if you'll have it, would likely never win a Pulitzer. I suspect he's, right-likely, correct. ...Only... hold *On*. You'd be taking Stanton Friedman well out of context if you left it, altoget... more »

Alfred's Odd Observation #20

Alfred Lehmberg at alienviews - 3 weeks ago
Alfred's Odd Observation #20 [on the conclusion of Spielberg's "Taken"] by Alfred Lehmberg It's just not going to go away, is it? *Dread* for some. *Expectancy *for others. *Anticipation *for others, still? Not *all* bad, reader. Not by any means. Hurrying through my observation for that shivery period, the clear winter skies had begun to quicken (in the traditional Jack Frost sense... *snow *once as I recall). Vague shapes flitted in peripheral vision in the night skies. Silent glowing orbs traversed the heavens on busy errands and at divergent speeds. I sensed a realized p... more »

Believing UFOs

Alfred Lehmberg at alienviews - 5 weeks ago
*I want to live in a society aspiring to the 21st Century, not one reprosecuting a flawed 20th Century reasonably retreated from for cause.* Believing UFOs by Alfred Lehmberg No. I don't believe in UFOs. I *believe *UFOs. The difference is NOT that subtle. . Sincerely, what is there not to believe? As a result of cogent cogitations, I believe in UFOs as I believe an apple falls from a tree. The simile is also unsubtle... I *believe *falling apples. . My opposition will say there cannot be such a thing as UFOs, with no evidence but baseless faith for suspecting same.

A More Perfect World

*...And Now For Something Completely Different...* A More Perfect World by Alfred Lehmberg In a more perfect world... we'd all be in that perfect world, wouldn't we? Though the world is far from perfect, we think we know. Pause for squirty, read incontinent, giggles... but then reflect a moment that our "perfect world" is at hand even as that perfection is ever only realized on the *path* to same... and *never *in its attainment. I say true. It would follow that this writer believes that there is a thoughtful *majority *of reasonable persons who appreciate an honest and humble as... more »

Alfred Lehmberg at alienviews - 1 month ago
UFO History Imperiled by Alfred Lehmberg Periodically, the "noisy negativists," plying their proud scientistic, faux-reductionist, and hubristicly homocentric hoo-rah, revisit old UFO cases, employing the sad craft of a decidedly insentient cant, to *invalidate *and *discredit *same! They do this because these cases alluded to, exhaustively prosecuted, investigated, and evaluated examples showing *decided *support for the UFO's extraterrestrial hypothesis, are precisely the cases we need to keep looking at for *current *relevancy and historical context. That's why these cases ar... more »

Errol

Errol Bruce-Knapp, of UFO UpDates, Strange Days—Indeed, the Virtually Strange Network... ...and the coiner of the expression "Fast Forward," has passed. 22:00 hours, the eleventh of August, 2016. He was 73. I never met him in meat-space. That's come to matter not at all. Does it have to, one wonders. I used to hate talking to Errol on the phone even as I had great times, even peak experiences with him, on the radio... weird. It wasn't him, not at all. It was me... I didn't feel worthy enough to take up his time, even as it had been *him* calling *me* for something! Mys... more »

*Bless you, Errol Bruce-Knapp... laid low by cruel malady and STILL facilitating friends and comrades! You are in my thoughts.* Alfred's Odd Observation #19 Sunshine's Surreal Shine-on by Alfred Lehmberg Only the most prosaic of the nonprosaic had been sighted—which was not to say that *they* had returned in any force or even at all. To wit: All the observations since a preceding report (two actually) had been dim, of short duration, and unremarkable. The only thing I can presently observe is that *something* is up there. They are quiet, oddly moving, and strange—but they... more »

Is Stanton Friedman For Real?

Alfred Lehmberg at alienviews - 2 months ago
Is Stanton Friedman For Real? By Alfred Lehmberg In 2005, the late Peter Jennings touted his headlined UFO show, ostensibly, as "coming clean" on UFOs... Be not fooled... Cleanliness was not the result where the thrust of the program was a complete if subtle hack job on an entirely honorable Stanton Friedman, et al, by Jennings. He employed all the old prejudices, to wit: making out like ufologists, in general, operate on conflicted faith and that they are either *mentally ill*, *misinformed*, or *misinforming*... "M" cubed for the in-crowd... Even where this is true, it's not th... more »

Verily, friends and neighbors, it doesn't *deserve* a fair fight or the waste of the energy expended on it to obliterate it. For so egregiously betraying the spirit and letter of its own tenants, it should effortlessly get what it gave... easily reap what was sown... then be bulldozed into the ground and summarily urinated upon. I understate. ...Remains, CSICOP *must* be stamped out, ultimately... relegated to its *own*... more »

Odd Observation #18 Though Heaven Falls... by Alfred Lehmberg I'd had some exciting observations since a previous report. Some real puzzlers in the Southeast United States (converging and then diverging multiples, rate and direction changers, and super-slow movers creeping furtively along about one degree every ten seconds...), but nothing at was my location close to the west coast (I'd traveled out to CA to get my mom; she would go back to Alabama to live with me until she passed) save one wispy 'indistinct' a few days ago.

The change was sudden—multiple sightings, nightly, of strangely moving luminous objects, for weeks, all over the United States (both coasts, anyway), ...to *nothing*, *overnight*. There had been no satellites, no boosters, no shuttles or space stations? No top secret aircraft, stealth blimps, temperature inversions, or earth lights?

On the strength of the previous two days, that Wednesday morning was an early expedition with a friend (and fellow former master aviator) to a prime observation spot out of town. There, silent sky crawlers, solitary hovering flashers, and thought quick star-streakers punctuated discussions on Type II Novas, evaporating black holes, the nature of conspiracy, and the ... more »

Odd Observation #12 by Alfred Lehmberg Outside visibility had been as terrible and opaque as a dirty milk-glass.

I've always said that all one has to do is go outside at night and rock the head back with just a smidgen of anticipating patience and a dash of rational open-mindedness. There is stuff up there to *see*, good reader, and that stuff generally rocks the "established" world with the sting of reality's bee. That's a good thing.
