Incident at Exeter: Norman Muscarello and his frightening 1965 UFO encounter
00:25-18:03 "Dean Merchant walks us through the site of the 1965 Incident.
On September 3, 1965 18-year-old Norman Muscarello saw a UFO in Kensington, NH. When he later returned to the scene with 2 police officers, all three of them observed the UFO once more before it flew away. The UFO was also sighted by another person earlier that night
The incident remains among the best-documented and best-publicized in UFO history and has attracted national attention and inspired a book called "Incident at Exeter" which made The New York Times bestseller list and remains one of the best-selling UFO books in history.
Dean Merchant is a local historian, journalist and Ufologist who founded the annual Exeter UFO Festival with the Exeter Area Kiwanis."

Wales' Bermuda Triangle
The day was February 4, 1977. It was a normal day at Broad Haven Primary School in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It was normal, that is, until more than a dozen children started telling their teachers that they had seen something “weird” flying around the school. What they saw was described as a silver, cigar-shaped object around 45ft in length. It had a central dome and a red pulsating light on the top and appeared over the trees around the perimeter of the school. What exactly it was has been subject to debate and discussion for more than four decades. One of the 10-year-old boys who saw the object was Dave Davies. Mr Davies, now in his 50s, told the BBC: “Throughout the day children had come in from playtime saying they had seen a weird object flying around the perimeter of the school. The headmaster thought he was having his leg pulled at the time so he wouldn’t actually go out and have a look. At the end of the day the final bell went and I thought I’d investigate for myself so I went up to the top perimeter of the school and the object popped up from behind some trees. It was about 50ft long, about the size of a bus, with a florescence to it. " The Monday after the sightings at the school the headmaster – understandably sceptical – asked the children to draw an image of what they had seen. Amazingly children who had seen the object at different times all drew very similar depictions of it. Mr Davies said: “The headmaster approached us, isolated the children who had seen the object, and made us draw pictures of what we saw and also a written account. He was very sceptical but the accounts were so similar that there was this resignation that hit him that we had in fact seen something.”

The Falkville Metal Man
The encounter happened in Falkville, Alabama on October 17th, 1973. A police officer named Jeff Greenhaw got a call that a woman had seen a UFO. It was 10 PM, and he was off duty, but he decided to check it out. He grabbed his revolver, handcuffs, keys, and his polaroid camera.
He drove to where the UFO had been, but he didn’t see anything strange. He got out of his truck to get a closer look at his surroundings. He saw what he assumed was a person. He shouted at them to get their attention, but he got no response. He walked closer to the “person”, and he noticed they were wearing what looked like aluminum foil.
He ran back to his truck, grabbed his camera, turned on his headlights, and managed to take 4 pictures of the entity before it fled. He tried to pursue the entity in his truck, but it was able to outrun him even though he was going 35 MPH. The pursuit ended when Jeff’s truck got stuck in a ditch. He said the entity ran faster than any person he had ever seen.
After the encounter, Jeff faced public ridicule. He was terminated from being the chief of police, he and his wife divorced, someone went as far as to burn his house down, and years after the initial encounter someone broke into his home and stole the original photographs of the Metal Man. He withdrew himself from the public, and moved to several different states before deciding to return home.
Some possible explanations are:
This was a prank orchestrated by Jeff (or someone) that was inspired by the Pascagoula Abduction, which had happened a short time before the encounter.
2. The entity was an alien.
3. It was a person in an asbestos fire suit.
4. It was a teenager who was very talented at running.

every ufo case is true except for the ones directly and tangentially related to the military
#im a longtime skeptic ufo enthusiast and special interest haver#skeptic as in 'theres hoaxes but sometimes people go through an experience that affects them' and#'the ufo phenomenon is real as in theres a culture surrounding it and psychological effects on alleged experiencers'#and whether the unexplained is simply that or LGM in a flying saucer is the lesser part of it#however the credibility of a case goes out the fucking window the moment the military gets involved. thats psyop territory now

One of the most well known and fascinating UFO sightings occurred on 2 November, 1957, and became known as the Levelland UFO Case. It began when numerous people reported witnessing unexplainable things in the sky over Levelland, Texas. The authorities were inundated with calls from citizens claiming to have seen bizarre bright lights floating in the sky.
Two people to have witnessed such lights were Pedro Saucedo and Joe Salaz, who claimed that they saw a 200ft bright object fly above them while in their pickup truck which had mysteriously came to a halt. After the object disappeared, their pickup truck began to work again. Numerous other similar calls came in that matched this one - vehicles stalling and bright lights appearing in the sky.
The Air Force claimed that it was nothing more than ball lightning. Understandably, regardless of this, many believe that something much more peculiar had taken place.

So I'm speedrunning Utena again to see how I feel about the "Shadow Girls are Anthy's Projections" concept, and instead I'm thinking about how Chu-chu spends a lot of time hanging out with Utena without Anthy.
Like at first he's with Anthy all the time but you start having Utena take care of him when Anthy's not even there-- obviously Chu-chu stays behind when Anthy visits Akio but also things like Utena taking him for a walk at night because she's taking care of him.
And this is based on vibes only but it's always seemed to me that Chu-chu does not necessarily play the same manipulation games that Anthy does. He's not luring Utena out or purposefully distracting her, imo. He's just. Anthy's friend. Her first one.
#very dog hanging out with alfred in serpent mage if you ask me#rgu#mine#meta#anyway its hard to separate out 'the shadow girls are Anthy's thoughts' and 'theyre a greek chorus'#but to me the most interesting skit to make that case was the one about being normal#it's after utena loses the duel and starts dressing in a girls uniform#so ostensibly its about her#but if you read it as an anthy thing it becomes like#'yeah im the rose bride. normal has nothing to do with me and im going home to where MY normal is'#which is interesting because while she is clearly truly touched by the way she sees dios in utena when she wins her back#the shadow girls also land their ufo and black rose arc starts immediately after#aka when anthy amps up the manipulation to eleven. normal for her.#oh the other interesting one is the cat bell#because on rewatch its so so obvious that the cowbell of happiness is about utenas naivety re: princehood#'you wore this shiny bauble without knowing its meaning and now youre an animal like the rest of them'#and the shadow girl skit is about a mouse who makes a deal with a cat not to put a bell around its neck#so it can eat the other mice instead#but then it eats the mouse too#something something you cant escape the monster by working with it itll eat you too#oh and the other one is the william tell archery one#i don't remember the context as well but. apples. a relative shooting at you and you letting them. apples getting pierced by sharp weapons#sitting there and taking it

The Disappearance of Rivalino Mafra da Silva: Alien Abduction or Foul Play?
Rivalino Mafra da Silva was a Brazilian diamond prospector who lived in Diamantino, a town in the south-eastern state of Minas Gerais. Rivalino’s wife had died in 1961, and he raised his three sons Raimundo (12-years-old), Fatimo (6-years-old), and Dirceu (2-years-old) by himself in a shack. On August 19, 1962, the family was woken up during the middle of the night by a shadow in their shared bedroom. According to Raimundo, the shadow was “half the size of a man and not shaped like a human being.” It quietly moved through the room, looked over the Mafras, and then left their house.
After the shadow left, the Mafras heard voices and footsteps coming from outside. One of the voices said, “This seems to be Rivalino,” and then Rivalino jumped out of bed and went into the living-room. He asked the voices who they were, but they refused to identify themselves. They told Rivalino that they were going to kill him. Eventually, the voices stopped and seemed to have left, but the Mafras couldn’t sleep after this incident. They were so scared that they prayed all night.
In the morning, while fetching his dad’s horse, Raimundo saw two ball-like objects hovering in the air near the family shack. One of the objects was entirely black in color, the other was black and white. Both objects had antennae and tail-like appendages. They also made humming noises, and flashes of light or fire came out from their backs.
Raimundo shouted for his father, and when Rivalino came outside, the two objects combined into one ball and released a yellow smoke. The smoke covered Rivalino and filled the air with a terrible odor. When the smoke cleared a minute later, Rivalino and the ball-like object were gone. Raimundo looked all over for his father, but couldn’t find him. He ran to the local police station and reported what happened. When the police searched the Mafras’ shack, they found drops of human blood, although it couldn’t be determined whether it belonged to Rivalino.
Drawing by Raimundo of the objects he saw.
Naturally, the authorities didn’t buy Raimundo’s incredible story. They suspected that he killed his father, or perhaps was covering up for the murderer. Joao Antunes de Oliveira, a psychiatrist, thought that Raimundo was perfectly sane. He seemed to truly believe that he saw a ball-like object abduct his father. The police didn’t buy it though. In a cruel trick, they covered a (still living) volunteer with a sheet and told Raimundo that it was Rivalino’s dead body. Raimundo still refused to take back his account. In tears, he insisted that the story was true and that the ball must have returned his father.
While some believed the boy, other residents sided with the police. Elagmano Marques da Costa, a businessman in the area, thought Mafra ran off and abandoned his sons. One popular rumor suggested that he was murdered. Perhaps Raimundo saw the shadows and voices of the murderers, but hallucinated the rest of the incident due to shock. While he might have been deemed sane, Raimundo wasn’t in the best of health. He was badly malnourished, illiterate, and couldn’t even read a clock. Interestingly, Raimundo related the same story over and over. His account is said to have never changed, perhaps confirming the psychiatrists’ observation that he believed what he saw.
Five days after his father’s disappearance, Raimundo gave an interview to the press. The next day, an article about the story appeared in the newspaper Diario de Minas. A Rio de Janiero-based paper, Tribuna da Imprensa, covered the case on August 29. In a September article for The A.P.R.O Bulletin entitled “Man Kidnapped by Globes,” Olavo T. Fontes translated Raimundo’s press interview, the first report of the case in English-speaking media. Many other articles and books, as listed here, have since covered Rivalino Mafra da Silva’s disappearance, but with distortions and inaccuracies.
One common piece of apocrypha, missing from the earliest sources, concerns alien dwarves. Slightly before Rivalino’s disappearance, two of his co-workers are said to have seen a pair of three foot-tall beings while walking past his house. The dwarves were digging a hole, and when spotted, ran into the bushes. A red UFO then emerged from the hiding spot and took off into the sky. Others claim that it was Rivalino himself who saw the dwarves.
Whatever exactly happened to the Mafra boys after their father’s disappearance is also obscure; Raimundo is said to have died in 2001, and the whereabouts of Fatimo and Dirceu are unknown.

you ever start watching something and go, "Oh, that'd be good crossover or au fodder!" and then you realize the two things could happen concurrently?
#I started watching UFOs#and while I would LOVE to see the current Magnus Archives staff in these wacky situations#the show is set in France in the late 1970s#which means James Wright has just been made head of the Institute a little earlier and Gertrude is in her early era#that said I STILL would like to see the modern staff try to solve UFO cases with a flamingo in the office

the slow drip of government officials admitting that ufos are real over the past couple of years are obvious distractions for whatever tf man made disasters occur during the time. ex: pentagon officials saying there’s a possible mothership sending probes a couple of days ago while the bank collapse thing was going on… that being said why choose this route… is the government slowly hedging the possibility that sometime soon the existence of foreign (other worldly) technology, “crafts”, etc can no longer be denied to the public… we shall see
paranoia low key funny af like they’re coming tweet
#ufos are a widely popular rabbit hole for a reason but there’s something to them fr fr look up president Eisenhower meeting with aliens LOL#or am even more intriguing and compelling case with freaky shit and slightly more credible due to brazilian government interference and is#documentation is* operacao prato
