Dr. Edgar Mitchell's testimony on the British radio show Kerrang! initiated a world wide response to the news (old news, at least for the UFO crowd) that ET really is here.
Mitchell's sources?
"The old timers" from Roswell, New Mexico, and "Subsequent to that, I did take my story to the Pentagon -- not NASA, but the Pentagon -- and asked for a meeting with the Intelligence Committee of the Joints Chief of Staff and got it. And told them my story [about the extraterrestrial presence ] and what I know and eventually had that confirmed by the admiral that I spoke with, that indeed what I was saying was true."
For that matter, the late Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper told the story of reverse engineering extraterrestrial information he provided to NASA engineers regarding a flaw in the design of the space shuttle.
NASA, naturally denies all knowledge of the extraterrestrial visitation and government cover-up.
Gus Russo's article, "The Real X-Files: Is Uncle Sam a Closet UFOlogist?" barely scratched the surface of the high-strangeness that's really "out there" but the story is a good place to start for the neophyte.
BBC NEWS is reporting:
A Briton accused of hacking into top secret military computers has lost a Law Lords appeal against being extradited to stand trial in the US. Glasgow-born Gary McKinnon could face life in jail if convicted of accessing 97 US military and Nasa computers. McKinnon claims he was "seeking information on UFOs."
Other recent issues of high strangeness:
Kenneth R. Timmerman, at NEWSMAX, wrote an article with the inflammatory headline, "U.S. INTEL: Iran Plans Nuclear Strike on U.S." -- apparently, according to the report from Timmerman, quoting Dr. William Graham, chair to the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack, "the Iranians are figuring our how to launch a missile from a ship and get it up to altitude and then detonate it... And that's exactly what you would do if you had a nuclear weapon on a Scud or a Shahab-3 or other missile, and you wanted to explode it over the United States."
Never mind recent reports from the GAO on DHS failure to fully address the threat from a concealed nuclear weapon smuggled onto U.S. soil.
ABCNEWS is reporting:
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, met with House Democrats yesterday, talking about his trip abroad and his observations.
Obama told the caucus, according to an attendee, "Nobody said this to me directly but I get the feeling from my talks that if the sanctions don't work Israel is going to strike Iran." Others in the room recall this as well.
A few comments sent our way from users of "anomalous mental phenomena" aka "remote viewing" suggest that yesterday's California earthquake was only a precursor for "the big one" -- the vague predictions give an end-time for the prediction in December of 2008 so we'll know in a few months if they were correct.
ABCNEWS is also speculating that "The Big One Could be Next."
And then there was that remote viewing report buried in a DIA STAR GATE file... which implied a major catastrophe in the western United States. More on that later.
