Treasure hunter Peter Lindberg has been exploring the seas for over 20 years. One of his greatest finds before this one was a stockpile of Vintage champagne (Monopole) hauled up from a century old shipwreck. Boy, would I love to get my hands on a bottle of that! Before stumbling upon this UFO Peter and his team had been out for 9 days and were exhausted. They made a final sweep with their sonar fish and discovered the strange object below which is described as 60-meter diameter cylinder-shaped object. They soon discovered a similar object 200 meters away. Both show drag marks over 400 meters long.
Lindberg and team say the objects are entirely too large to have fallen off a ship or be part of a wreck. So did they fall from the sky? Some other theories imply these could be some sort of massive plugs to an inner world? Or a Marine version of Stone Henge? The plug to an inner world does tie in nicely to Alex Collier’s theory that the earth is hollow, and the gravity of our planet is due to the rotation. The radiation of the sun is what causes gravity on planets. Go to 5:35 of his lecture to hear more of this “hollow earth theory.” He also says that our moon is actually a space ship that was towed here carrying ET’s 11,213 years ago. They colonized earth and many of what’s left of them are living underground in our planet from 100 to 200 miles beneath our surface. Science fiction or science fact? His lectures are very entertaining whether you believe or not.
According to Andreas Olsson, (Head of Archeology Swedish Maritime Museums) the Baltic sea is known as a ship wreck laboratory with no salinity or wood-boring organisms. The intriguing dimensions of this object has captured Andreas Olsson’s attention. Peter Lindberg and his team are waiting for calmer waters in May to uncover what really lies beneath. In my opinion we the public will never truly know what it is. If it is an intergalactic space vessel, we will be told its a marine Stone Henge. If its a cap to an inner world, we will be told its a marine Stone Henge. UNLESS… The beings below the caps realize their cover has been blown and wage war on humanity. I can’t decide which scenario I’m voting for.

1/24/12 – Team Conclusion
After much research and team conversations involving Matt Valentine, We have concluded that the oldest traceable image tied to this story is in fact the original one with the smiling human looking teeth and the bloody fingerprints “smile.dog.jpg.” Everything else has been photoshoped manipulations/hybrids of this original. People constantly sending me what they believe is the “real” Smile.jpg. I plan to compose a new page of all the images I’ve received that people think are the real ones. Feel free to send what you think is “REAL.” As for this page, the original (or at least as far back as we could trace) is the strange image with the bloody finger prints on the Poloroid. This is our professional opinion, if there is such a thing regarding this subject. So what happened to me testing the photo? Well I’ve had numerous nightmares, but I’ve always had nightmares. I can’t recall if I’ve seen the grim Husky in my dreams. I’ve had many Alien nightmares. Maybe the Husky is a Star Gate to a ship full of Grey’s holding strange probes? Some self proclaimed mediums that have come into my house say I have brought spirits into it from past ghost hunts. All I can conclude is it is a very eerie intriguing photo. If you let it haunt you, it will gladly do so. Judge for yourselves with an open mind. Sincerely, ~Shad
8/15/11 – Freedom of Speech
You would be amazed at the amount of hate mail I get for leaving this article online. Let me set the record straight… No I am not trying to shape the minds of the youth or evoke fear with negative blasphemy. I was simply told a story and tested it out for myself. As a paranormal investigator, my team and I tread the waters of the unknown to uncover mysteries and separate the fiction from fact.
Just recently a young woman sent me an email pleading for me to take this story down. She claims her fiancé committed suicide by shooting himself in the face. She stated that he was obsessed with this story and had even gone so far as getting a tattoo of the Smile.jpg dog. As tragic as this is, I cannot be held responsible for the brash acts of others. I remember when Ozzy used to get blamed for suicides in the early 80’s. The religious community was up in arms claiming that Osbourne made them do this by slipping subliminal backward masked messages into his songs. This is absurd.
I will not be held responsible for the actions of others, and I will continue to practice my rights as an American under Article 19: The Freedom of speech is the freedom to speak freely without censorship.
7/3/09 – I received an email on July 3rd 2009 from my friend Matt Valentine simply asking: “Have you heard of smile.jpg?”
I replied to him with my honest answer which was: “No I haven’t…. sounds like a file? What is it?”
He then went on to tell me the story: “I just stumbled onto it last night. Apparently its an old image that no one knows where it came from or what its purpose is but it has a weird effect when people look at it. Its very hard to find and when it is found its usually deleted or replaced with a fake image in its place. It could be all in my head but it did make me feel weird like there was something behind the image looking back at me when i first saw it and i immediately had to close the window browser. Not that the images in the picture were scary but that the colors or patterns were having some hypnotic psychological effect on me. Well you should just be the judge for yourself. Below is a link to the story and the pic. Let me know what you think. -Matt G.
Since this email from Matt Valentine, I have researched this story and have downloaded the mysterious image to my hard drive as well. I’ve studied it for the past five days. I can tell you this… I’ve had very VIVID nightmares. The image does stick with you. I’ll catch myself thinking about it at random times throughout the day. Those of you who know me, know that I’ve always had nightmares. But this week has been different. They’ve felt more “real.” I’m not saying I’ve bought into this story, but I will say… it’s a bit ironic. Choose for yourselves. At the bottom of this letter there is a link for you to download the original smile.dog.jpg. Now here’s the story of Mary. This image is said to have completely ruined her life. ~Shad
The Curious Case of Smile.jpg by JML
I first met in person with Mary E. in the summer of 2007. I had arranged with her husband of fifteen years, Terence, to see her for an interview. Mary had initially agreed, since I was not a newsman but rather an amateur writer gathering information for a few early college assignments and, if all went according to plan, some pieces of fiction. We scheduled the interview for a particular weekend when I was in Chicago on unrelated business, but at the last moment Mary changed her mind and locked herself in the couple’s bedroom, refusing to meet with me. For half an hour I sat with Terence as we camped outside the bedroom door, I listening and taking notes while he attempted fruitlessly to calm his wife. The things Mary said made little sense but fit with the pattern I was expecting: though I could not see her, I could tell from her voice that she was crying, and more often than not her objections to speaking with me centered around an incoherent diatribe on her dreams — her nightmares. Terence apologized profusely when we ceased the exercise, and I did my best to take it in stride; recall that I wasn’t a reporter in search of a story, but merely a curious young man in search of information. Besides, I thought at the time, I could perhaps find another, similar case if I put my mind and resources to it.
Mary E. was the sysop for a small Chicago-based Bulletin Board System in 1992 when she first encountered smile.jpg and her life changed forever. She and Terence had been married for only five months. Mary was one of an estimated 400 people who saw the image when it was posted as a hyperlink on the BBS, though she is the only one who has spoken openly about the experience. The rest have remained anonymous, or are perhaps dead. In 2005, when I was only in tenth grade, smile.jpg was first brought to my attention by my burgeoning interest in web-based phenomena; Mary was the most often cited victim of what is sometimes referred to as “Smile.dog,” the being smile.jpg is reputed to display. What caught my interest (other than the obvious macabre elements of the cyber-legend and my proclivity toward such things) was the sheer lack of information, usually to the point that people don’t believe it even exists other than as a rumor or hoax.
It is unique because, though the entire phenomenon centers on a picture file, that file is nowhere to be found on the internet; certainly many photomanipulated simulacra litter the web, showing up with the most frequency on sites such as the imageboard 4chan, particularly the /x/-focused paranormal subboard. It is suspected these are fakes because they do not have the effect the true smile.jpg is believed to have, namely sudden onset temporal lobe epilepsy and acute anxiety. This purported reaction in the viewer is one of the reasons the phantom-like smile.jpg is regarded with such disdain, since it is patently absurd, though depending on whom you ask the reluctance to acknowledge smile.jpg’s existence might be just as much out of fear as it is out of disbelief.
Neither smile.jpg nor Smile.dog is mentioned anywhere on Wikipedia, though the website features articles on such other, perhaps more scandalous shocksites as ****** (hello.jpg) or 2girls1cup; any attempt to create a page pertaining to smile.jpg is summarily deleted by any of the encyclopedia’s many admins.
Encounters with smile.jpg are the stuff of internet legend. Mary E.’s story is not unique; there are unverified rumors of smile.jpg showing up in the early days of Usenet and even one persistent tale that in 2002 a hacker flooded the forums of humor and satire website Something Awful with a deluge of Smile.dog pictures, rendering almost half the forum’s users at the time epileptic. It is also said that in the mid-to-late 90s that smile.jpg circulated on usenet and as an attachment of a chain email with the subject line “SMILE!! GOD LOVES YOU!” Yet despite the huge exposure these stunts would generate, there are very few people who admit to having experienced any of them and no trace of the file or any link has ever been discovered.
Those who claim to have seen smile.jpg often weakly joke that they were far too busy to save a copy of the picture to their hard drive. However, all alleged victims offer the same description of the photo: A dog-like creature (usually described as appearing similar to a Siberian husky), illuminated by the flash of the camera, sits in a dim room, the only background detail that is visible being a human hand extending from the darkness near the left side of the frame. The hand is empty, but is usually described as “beckoning.” Of course, most attention is given to the dog (or dog-creature, as some victims are more certain than others about what they claim to have seen). The muzzle of the beast is reputedly split in a wide grin, revealing two rows of very white, very straight, very sharp, very human-looking teeth.

I was having a tough time sleeping tonight and decided to study the photo a bit more. I took it into photoshop and enhanced it and found a very interesting artifact above the “beckoning hand.” It appears to say “PO:” I really don’t understand what this could mean. This photo is full of mystery. I aim to keep digging deeper and get to the bottom of this story. ~Shad
HAA & HCP Show 2011 from TransWorld Exhibits on Vimeo.
I’m pleased and honored to be traveling to TransWorld’s Annual Halloween & Attractions Show with Matt Valentine and the Global Fear Enterprises crew! This is the only trade show that features vendors, from across the nation and overseas, that cover every aspect of the business, from ticketing to makeup and sound FX to giant animatronics. Global Fear Enterprises is a multimedia production FX studio created by Matt Valentine and his brother Mike Garcia. I first met these two gents at Aether Paranormal’s investigation at the House of Torment in May of 2009. They appear in this documentary as our guides showing us where the “hot spots” and alleged paranormal activity took place. Since then Matt has become one of my best friends. It’s hard to find another person who shares a liking for Dallas Holm’s, Carmen, and Leon Patillo! We both grew up with similar “hellfire brimstone” religious backgrounds. Halloween was looked down upon as a “pagan Satan worshiping” holiday. Mike Warnke said so. I was a fan of Matt’s artwork from the start. I was really inspired by his talent. He’s a master of conceptual design. And he’s completely “self-taught.” To dream up a monster from his mind, transfer it to paper, then to clay, and finally to a beautiful latex three dimensional creation is beyond amazing. He’s also very humble about his talent which I found refreshing. Matt guided me through my first creature sculpture in his Austin Studio, and it is HARD WORK! Very time consuming, messy, and tedious. Patience is virtue in the FX field. Matt also participated in our “Joan of Art” Aether Artshow in 2009 bringing his eclectic dark flavor to the show. Complete with realistic Flesh Bags, demon babies in bottles, and full size rotted zombie politicians, Matt stirred up quite a buzz! He later went on to help us film our first full length horror-thriller docudrama “The Volando Muerte.” He was responsible for the FX makeup, creature design, and several other creepy props. He even starred in it! This DVD will be sold for the first time at Transworld for $17.00! $24.00 for one with his John Hancock! More recently he’s found himself a contestant on season two of Face Off, SyFy’s reality TV competition for movie makeup artists and costume creators. He’s good at keeping his mouth shut about how he did on the show, which I actually appreciate. I’d rather watch it unfold and ride the roller coaster of surprise! (I was never one to peek at my xmas gifts.) I’m really looking forward to promoting Global Fear Enterprises and tearing up the town with him and the GFE crew in St. Louis at Transword!

Update: The latest from NASA on the Mars Rover Spirit:
‘No communication has been received from Spirit since Sol 2210 (March 22, 2010).’NASA has removed two of the Spirit Sol 2169 images, ‘Spirit Front Hazcam 2169′.
Watch the video and see what you think. Does the Mars Rover image contain what seems to be ‘structures’, a ‘UFO base’ on Mars? Extraterrestrial ‘type’ structures and what seems to be a ‘spaceship’?
The below image, a screenshot from NASA’s Mars Rover gallery. The reason why we captured the screenshot, it contains the Mars Exploration Rover Mission image labeled Spirit :: Rear Hazcam :: Sol 2169. Over at Youtube, the discovery of the UFO video UFO EXCLUSIVE! Breaking News Clear UFO Base Caught on Cam By Mars Rovers December 2010. The video posted by OnLifeMars. A video which highlights the NASA Mars Rover image. Our screenshot, verification the NASA image in the video, is the original image from NASA.
In December, NASA reported: Spirit Remains Silent at Troy – sols 2471-2477, Dec. 15-Dec. 21, 2010: No communication has been received from Spirit since Sol 2210 (March 22, 2010). The project continues to listen with the Deep Space Network and Mars Odyssey orbiter for autonomous recovery communication from a low-power fault case. The project is also conducting a paging technique called “Sweep & Beep” to stimulate the rover in the case of a mission-clock fault. The period of maximum solar insolation (energy production) occurs around mid-March 2011.
Stanley Fulham, a retired NORAD officer, has been given further predictions concerning the appearance of extraterrestrial spacecraft/UFOs over major world cities. In an alleged communication with a group of extraterrestrials called the “Transcendors” he was recently told that extraterrestrial vehicles will first appear in early January 2011 over Moscow and then one week later over London. Fulham’s latest set of predictions are noteworthy since he successfully predicted UFOs over New York City on October 13, 2010. Shortly after the UFOs appeared, the FAA Westbury radar facility responsible for three major airports in New York City was evacuated for an hour leading to flight delays/cancellations at La Guardia, Newark and JFK airports. According to a reliable source, similar radar disruptions occurred at a major Chinese airport in the region of Hangzhou in July 2010 after UFOs appeared, leading once again to flights being delayed/cancelled for an hour. If UFOs do appear over Moscow and/or London in early January 2010, any flight disruptions at nearby airports will help confirm whether or not Fulham’s predictions are accurate.
Fulham’s latest prediction was given to him soon after the UFO appearance over New York City on October 13. This is what Fulham said:
In my last ‘Reading’ with the Transcendors on Tuesday, October 2010, the Transcendors advised me of the following predictions on the Pleiadian’s UFO displays:
A. There will be a major UFO display over Moscow between the end of the first part of January 2011 and the second week of January 2011.
B. This ‘display’ will be followed by a major display over London approximately seven days later.
C. Interventions will then accelerate, not so much over our cities, but dispersed over our continents with sightings increasing in duration. The intent of these interventions is to increase mankind’s acceptance of the alien phenomena, so that hopefully, we will be prepared to accept a face-to-face encounter and communicate, perhaps as early as next year (2011).
During the October 13 UFO sighting in New York City, the media was quick to attribute the sighting to party balloons launched from a nearby Mt Vernon elementary school around 1 pm. This was despite the fact that the UFOs were first sighted in the morning of October 13, and continued throughout the day. Most remarkably, the FAA radar facility was evacuated later in the day due to an apparent gas leak that led to temporary airport closings at La Guardia, Newark and JFK. The FAA explanation was likely a cover story that attempted to hide any possible link between the temporary radar disruption and the UFO appearance.
On July 7, 2010, similar circumstances happened at a major Chinese airport in the Hangzhou region when a UFO appeared nearby. According to a reliable source, the UFO directly interfered with the airport radar system closing the airport temporarily and leading to the re-routing of flights. This is what Neil Gould from Exopolitics Hong Kong had to say about his source concerning the Hangzhou UFO incident.
A reliable Source which must remain anonymous has said that the UFO was first noticed by an airline but prior to being reported, the radar in the control tower suffered temporary failure.
If a UFO does appear over Moscow, it will not be the first time in recent history. On December 9, 2009, one day before President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, a one mile UFO pyramid allegedly hovered over the Kremlin for several hours. The UFO appeared to be related to a mysterious spiral that appeared shortly before over Norwegian skies.
According to a confidential source, a Russian submarine had earlier fired missiles at the spiral in order to prevent UFOs/extraterrestrial vehicles coming through it. If the spiral was in fact some kind of stargate/dimensional portal for extraterrestrial vehicles, then the appearance of the one mile wide pyramid UFO over the Kremlin was likely a show of force to send a strong message to Russian leaders about the folly of firing missiles in the vicinity of extraterrestrial vehicles. If Fulham is correct in his Moscow UFO prediction, it will be interesting to see the response of Russian leaders.
Fulham’s successful October 13 prediction of UFOs over New York has gained the attention of this writer and many others given the rare success of such predictions. The fact that New York’s three major metropolitan airports were temporarily closed during the UFO appearance, as happened earlier in the July 7 incident in Hangzhou China, does suggest a relationship between UFO sightings and radar operations. If UFOs do appear over Moscow and London in early January 2011, one way to confirm that they are extraterrestrial in origin is whether nearby airports in Moscow and London are affected in some way. One thing is certain. Fulham will gain even more global attention if his latest predictions prove to be accurate.
Aether Paranormal was established in October of 2007. Shad and Jentri took off on a journey to Jefferson Texas to stay at one of the most haunted hotels they supposedly had to offer – The Jefferson Hotel. They were completely addicted after this trip. Throughout the course of the year the Austin team expanded, with Beaux, Carly, Matt and Chad(aka: “Dug”), and so did the investigations.
Beaux, Shad, and Jentri formed Paranormal Productions in 2008, in order to bring you (the enthusiast/explorer) the most entertaining experience possible, with a real paranormal team that shares a passion for supernatural exploration.
Beaux and Jentri both have film degrees from the University of Texas in Austin, while Shad’s been a graphic designer for the past ten years, recently expanding on his photography portfolio.
Lead investigator, Shad, is responsible for the website/graphics while lead investigator, Beaux, drives the boat in the editing room, and Jentri, the case manager, serves as their media relations correspondent/writer. While their production is certainly a group effort, with Carly, an additional site researcher by their side, and Dug and Matt helping investigate, they make it their priority to bring you a quality production each time.
A few words from the team:
Aether Paranormal welcomes you to explore our journeys into the unknown, beyond the normal scientific realms of logical reason. We are a team of open minded people with a passionate desire to reach far into the dimensions of the paranormal. We do not claim to be able to “help” anyone, but are happy when we can. We do not lead ghosts to the light, nor do we perform any blessings or exorcisms. We merely examine your claims of a haunting, and analyze the evidence from a scientific angle, when possible. We use an arsenal of the latest ghost hunting equipment. Our tools range from Electromagnetic Field Detectors, Electronic Voice Phenomena recorders, laser IR Thermometers, HD video recorders, Night Vision Recorders, & Digital cameras.
We do not charge a fee to conduct our investigations. We bring all of our own equipment, and investigate the property until the wee hours of the morning. Our pay off is to hopefully capture hard proof of the supernatural. At the end of our investigation, we take several days to meticulously go through every scrap of evidence, then produce a documentary of the place we investigated, whether we catch any activity or not.
On a personal note: We take our work very seriously, conducting investigations to the best of our abilities in the most productive way we know how. But we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We simply do what we enjoy and enjoy what we do. We hope you do too.

Shad and Jentri ventured to the quaint Texas town of New Braunfels to explore the many haunted claims surrounding the 1930’s Faust hotel, also a historical landmark.
Despite the Great Depression in 1929, Faust managed to keep the, then called, The Traveler’s Hotel, open, and it was renamed Faust Hotel in 1936. Since then, the Faust Hotel has been sold multiple times, and remodeled (which is said to get the spirits moving around).
Upon arrival, we noticed the charming downtown area, filled with lots of great bakeries, antique shops, bars, and enticing eateries. But inside the low-lit Faust Hotel lie a crafted antique layout, period artwork, and hospitable front desk service with a smile.
But these spirits, trapped energy, or whatever you wish to call it, were present, and there was nothing hospitable about it. There were a couple of things that not even the best logic among us can explain! From mysterious figures caught (on tape) moving, to loud unaccounted-for bangs in the middle of the night – this is one hotel that lives up to its chaotic history.
