Exorcist Homage

Fri, 30 Dec 2011 20:12:00 -0800

I took a recent trip to Washington D.C. for a concert. It was my first time there. Among the many wonderful places I had to see was in Georgetown. These are the infamous steps from the popular 1973 film The Exorcist. It was here where the priest landed after flying out the window, so I couldn't resist this pose.

UFO Parking Lot?

Tue, 27 Dec 2011 20:04:00 -0800

I was out hiking in the hills with my 11-year-old daughter, when we came upon a large group of these sitting in a field. The nearest house was several hundred meters away. They were all about 4 feet tall. If they are alien craft, then the occupants must be small, but in the universe size is all relative anyway. I actually think they are some sort of communication antenna dishes that are out of use. But my daughter and I had a lot of fun just imagining, “What if they really were alien craft?” We made up all sorts of stories about them. My daughter wanted to send it in to Coast to Coast.

Anomaly in Front of Tornado-Damaged Home

Sun, 25 Dec 2011 19:19:00 -0800

I used to live in Tuscaloosa, Al where the devastating tornado outbreak occurred this past April. I visited there in October and drove through some of the subdivisions affected. Most houses had been reduced to bare cement slab or skeleton framing. This one caught my eye. It conveyed the sadness and pain suffered so well. The reason I'm submitting this is that the lens flare ( if that's what it REALLY is) looks like it's own mini tornado.

PARACLAUS Is Comin' To Town!

Sat, 24 Dec 2011 21:27:00 -0800

John Weaver (jweaver@flightsystems.com) shares some C2C-inspired Christmas artwork as well as new lyrics to a holiday classic...

PARACLAUS Is Comin' To Town!

You better not pout, better not cry,
See the high strangeness goin' on in the sky –
PARACLAUS is comin' to town!

He likes to hang with cryptids,
And the ghosts of Christmas past,
And alien technology
Makes his sleigh 10 times as fast!

He only pays a visit,
To those folks who believe,
In UFOs, MIBs,
Djinn and SHC!

Set up your camcorders,
And instruments too,
Maybe some proof will be left for you –
PARACLAUS is comin' to town!

December Solstice Alignment

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 20:12:00 -0800

There is a powerful and beautiful alignment accompanying this December’s Solstice. The potency of the event is magnified in that the Sun, Moon, and all of the planets are involved in some significant manner. This alignment includes a nearly exact opposition between Jupiter and Saturn — something that happens only briefly every 20 years. The Solstice Sun forms a highly harmonious angle with these two opposing planets — helping to ease their tension and pointing our attention toward what may be found in stillness.

Stillness of attention
Reveals unrecognized momentum
Finding our bearings
Opens circumstance to fateful action

Solstice blessings,

The Middleton Ghost

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:42:00 -0800

I was a cab driver in Madison, WI. I was picking up a very early morning fare in nearby Middleton, WI to take to the Madison airport. Next to the home of my passenger was a stand of birch trees standing in stark contrast with the black sky and the bright moon behind them. I thought it would be an excellent photo, so I took out my camera and clicked. When the film was developed, the image on the right was in the picture along with the swirling fog-like white in the foreground. I like to think it was a ghost leaning into the camera to see what I was doing. :) It's one of my favorite photographs. This was taken in 2002, although the month on the bottom of the picture is incorrect. This was sometime in the winter. I hope you find this interesting. Thank you!

Sculpture: 'Saucer 51'

Sun, 18 Dec 2011 20:45:00 -0800

I've always had a sci-fi bend, since I was younger and, over the last few months, decided to make a little something off it and try my hand at making some sci-fi based sculptures i.e. robots, UFOs,creatures and the like.

I wound up using a combination of old scrap like radios, computers, and record decks along with some craft store bits like beads, wire, paint, etc'

This is my first UFO, which I call 'Saucer 51,' in honer of a famous place.

UFO and Large Object Over Vegas

Sat, 17 Dec 2011 21:46:00 -0800

The Large Object blinked in and out within a split second at 11:33 a.m. on December 11, 2011. It was captured by my security camera and I recorded it from the TV with my Flip camera. I then took a picture from the paused video. The footage is posted on YouTube. Using the Flip is relatively new to me and I started recording UFOs in September 2011. This is a strange appearing object and it showing when the little white UFO is traveling across the sky is exciting, at least to me.

'Alien' Money

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 20:22:00 -0800

I found this foreign money in my junk pile. Is that an alien on it?

--Katalin Csikos-Gould

Update: Richard M. writes-- "The 'alien face' image on the Romanian money is actually the sculpture "Mademoiselle Pogany" by Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi. Those other shapes on the note are also Brancusi scultures. 'Mlle. Pogany' was done in 5 versions, in marble and bronze, between 1912 and the 1930s, and was modeled after a Hungarian art student named Margit Pogany whom Brancusi met in Paris."

Drawing: "Little Wolf"

Wed, 14 Dec 2011 20:14:00 -0800

Thiis is a drawing of a gun based on those made by Chechnya rebels, US prisoners, and other outlaws. Chechnya rebels call these hand made guns "little wolves". I read about these different hand made guns on Ron Paul's forum site, the section about bearing arms.

Artwork: Alien Skeleton

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:14:00 -0800

This drawing was remembered from a dream. The alien simply appeared where my brother and I were, and stood next to him. This was a screen effect designed to display his structure, what they look like under the skin. Not surprisingly, they are much like ourselves, but of course have their own unique differences. They have remarkably strong bones that are supported by cartilage between the ribs, much more durable than ourselves. They have adapted themselves over eons to live within the 4th density, which has resulted in lighter bones. When he appeared, he gave off a lot of joy, and 'smiled' telepathically. He made one lap around the small hut we were in, walked out the door, and then simply vanished. Now they are not so different than ourselves after all.

Order Out Of Chaos

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:09:00 -0800

I found an old trash pit in a crawl space of my 1850 farmhouse in Maine. Old bottles...tins...& other Items have been unearthed. I have been cleaning up the bottles and offering them for sale on Ebay.

I recently soaked several of them is soapy water overnight. The other morning I was rinsing them out...filling them with clean water...and fiercely shaking them clean. I rinsed one tiny perfume bottle several times...assumed it was clean and held it up to the light to check. At first I thought it cracked-- Then I realized what I was seeing.

The remaining soap residue arranged itself into hexagons in 3 dimensions ?!! Like a Bee's Honeycomb! I shook & shook to spill it all out...but to no avail. The "Structure" remained late into the night...when it finally collapsed into a flattened honeycomb on the bottom of the bottle. I've never seen anything like this before. It brought to mind that the Order Of Nature will always prevail! With all that violent shaking of the bottle came this beautiful, orderly structure!

I was...and still am...amazed !

Unknown Drone

Sun, 11 Dec 2011 18:16:00 -0800

12-11-11: My sister and her boyfriend were heading back to Arkansas City KS coming from the gas station-casino on or near the Oklahoma state line, when they noticed the object being towed. A state trooper escorted it and black truck followed. Could it be an unmanned US drone?

Update: It appears the craft is Northrop Grumman’s X-47B. Further details here.

Lunar Eclipse

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 19:44:00 -0800

I was about 20 to 30 miles away from that mountain when I took this photo. It was taken right around the corner from my house at Indian Mountain in Como, Colorado. News reports stated that there would be an almost blood red color during the eclipse, but I did not see anything like that. The photo is pretty much the way it appeared and I am very happy with how it came out.

Steel City Mary

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 19:06:00 -0800

11/9/11-- I work at a cafe in Pittsburgh, PA that my partner and I run. A few days ago I was doing the dishes in a stainless steel triple bowl sink, I started to drain the third sink, and I noticed an image start to appear...it looked like a woman, as the water drained more and more...I realized it looked like the Virgin Mary with a crucifix and a sacred heart on her chest.

I grabbed my cell phone and took a picture, after lunch i sat down and stared at the photo and I noticed four numbers above what I believed
to be a heart,or where a heart would be....to me the numbers looked like 0573...I called a friend in and he said it looked like 4573....after some debate, we went to play the PA lottery and played 6 dollars worth of numbers because that's all the cash we had. We decided to focus on the 4573, .instead of the 0573...

That night 0537 hit straight and 035 hit straight for the three digit. After closer examination, there is no doubt in my mind that the numbers in the apparition is 0573; the zero actually looks like a perfect faint circle with what looks like a cross through it. It's crazy I know, but true.

Pendleton UFO

Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:36:00 -0800

Dec/4/2011 6pm-- I got home from skate park, stepped out of my car looked up and saw what I thought was a plane but I realized it was moving to slow. Then I thought it was a helicopter but it made no sound, since I've seen ufo's prior to this I then grabbed my digital camera and took 2 pictures, one showed it durring its strobe and the other in between. It was near the Camp Penelton Marine base next to my house and came toward my house into civilian airspace. The craziest part was the lack of sound as it just floated on by...Whether it's military or ET, it's a ufo im my book.

Creepy Forest Effigy

Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:18:00 -0800

We have some property on Lookout Mountain in rural northwest Georgia. Some of it is very isolated and, for the past few years, we have heard strange things in the woods, found pentagrams drawn on things, and recently we have noticed strange objects like this thing hanging in trees. It reminded us of the Blair Witch Project. The strangest thing is, at this particular location, to get there would have to park on the road and walk a mile or more through dense forest to get there. My younger sisters found it and took the picture. We are planning to go back soon and retrieve it and try to get it identified by experts.

Hyperdimensional Pottery

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:20:00 -0800

This Hyperdimensional Pottery was inspired by Richard C. Hoagland and the passing of Comet Elenin. I created the wheel-thrown bowl using terracotta clay in late September and glazed it during Elenin's closest approach to Earth. I wanted to share this with Coast listeners because I know there are many who will recognize and hopefully appreciate the hyperdimensional geometry. Thank you RCH for sharing your research and being my inspiration for this piece.

Huntsman Spider

Mon, 28 Nov 2011 20:28:00 -0800

11/23/11-- Last week it was unusually hot & humid in Perth [Western Australia] for this time of year. It was so balmy that even the spiders were all coming out of hiding…This particular one is a very very large specimen of a “huntsman” I think although I am not certain. It scared the day-lights out of the household. We all voted (flatmates & I) and decided it was definitely NOT coming in the house…!!!!
