Thom Reed’s U.F.O. Encounters

Thom Reed is a very excitable man. He contradicted my perceptions of what a person with his background acts like. He has embraced his lot in life and has lots to share. It was a pleasure speaking with him.

Thom’s story began in 1969 when he was 6 years old. Thom and his family experienced a lot—A LOT—of extraterrestrial encounters. Articles, testimony, and eye witness reports support Thom’s story. On February 6, 2015, the Great Barrington Historical Society and Museum (MA) officially declared the events as “historically significant.” A permanent exhibit detailing the “off world” experience opens this fall. Please visit Thom’s website for more information: http://www.tomreed.info/home.html.

I’m drawn to this case because of the amount of evidence collected and proffered. Museum staff members are compiling all of the documents for an exhibit. Equally interesting: The records will be housed in a historical society and not a Ufology-themed museum. This act alone helps bring the discussion of alien life into the mainstream. I’m curious to see how the society creates an installation. Will it be kitsch? Sensationalized? Or will the exhibit balance the case with acceptable historical standards?

In a recent Huff/YouGov poll (2013), 50% of Americans believe that alien life exists. Further, 25% believe that aliens have visited Earth. College graduates are more likely to believe in extraterrestrial life. Another survey from National Geographic reported higher numbers (http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2012/06/28/most-americans-believe-government-keeps-ufo-secrets-survey-finds).

Americans believe in the possibility of alien life. The debate focuses on whether or not the aliens’ intentions are hostile.

Ufology & Chase Kloetzke

There is a wide variety of speakers and vendors at Through the Veil. In all honesty, I think Michelle Griffin, owner of Through the Veil Productions, LLC, should take advantage of this and wordsmith the subtitle more. I cannot emphasize the scope of the speakers: You would be hard-pressed to get this session roster with full-on access. I’m still giddy at all of the people I got one-on-one time with. But I digress. I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Chase Kloetzke, Ufologist/author/MUFON member.

I immediately liked Chase. She shatters all stereotypical perceptions on what a U.F.O. researcher/investigator looks like. Quickly peruse her “About” section on her Website, http://www.chasekloetzke.com/home.html, and you will see that she is well-educated and fully capable of leading an investigation. Currently, Chase is the Deputy Director of Investigations and Special Case Manager at M.U.F.O.N. (Mutual U.F.O. Network). And trust me: Chase is passionate.

Chase enthusiastically discussed another guest speaker Thom Reed and his case. Earlier this year, Thom Reed’s encounters were deemed “historically significant and true” by the Great Barrington Historical Society and Museum, http://www.tomreed.info/home.html. I’ll be blogging about Thom later this week. What I really liked about Chase was the way she discussed the Reed family’s case. She didn’t just say, “They encountered aliens. Believe it because I said so.” Instead, Chase ticked off the amount of evidence collected in this investigation. There were eyewitness reports. There are a lot of documents. There were polygraphs administered. There’s a ton here, but more on that later this week. Chase’s enthusiasm for Thom’s case was contagious.

Chase has authored/co-authored two books; she hosts the Fate Magazine Radio show, which airs every Sunday evening at 8 pm EST; and she appears at conferences around the country. She speaks on a vast array of topics. One in particular piqued my interest. Chase discussed a type of early warning system created to alert people prone to frequent encounters when a possible encounter will take place. I’m fascinated by this. (Note: I don’t believe that I’ve ever encountered alien life forms; however, I do believe in the possibility of extraterrestrial life.) I want to know more about this. Hopefully, I will. Stay tuned for an announcement on when Chase will be on Archer Paranormal Radio, www.wlor.net.

7th Annual Through the Veil & Larry Flaxman

The 7th Annual Through the Veil (TTV) event was this past weekend in Atlanta, Georgia. This was my first time attending. I loved every minute of it! TTV is a premiere event where attendees have intimate access to incredible speakers. The event focuses on spirituality, metaphysics, and the supernatural.

Where to begin? I have no earthly idea where to start. Therefore, I will break my blog into smaller posts. The API Gals had a vendor table in order to share production footage and promotional material for True Ghost Stories, debuting on ROKU in September. Even though Lisa and I had a table, we were able to pop into sessions. I’ve never had so much access to a wide array of people in the industry.

This year’s keynote speaker was Larry Flaxman. Prior to his talk, Larry stopped by our table to say “Hi” and chit-chat. Beforehand, I thought Larry was an accomplished author. I’ve since appended my opinion. Larry is an all-around cool—like COOL—guy. He spent the night before handing out 100 McDonald’s hamburgers at area homeless shelters. Pretty remarkable! What a great role model!

Larry’s talk centered on this year’s theme: facing our fears. He disclosed very personal moments in his life where he needed to face a fear. In total, Larry shared six events. He said, “Change is a requirement of life.” Further, he encouraged everyone to embrace our fears. Share and talk about our fears. Most importantly, “visualize success.”

The next day, I attended Larry’s session “The Grid: Exploring the Hidden Infrastructure of Reality.” Wow. Just wow. I took copious notes. Well, sort of. Most of his talk was above my head but just within reach. I need to read his book (entitled the same), co-written with Marie D. Jones. I’ve attached one page of my notes.

Notes

Basically, our reality is like one floor of a skyscraper. Each floor has a different reality. Each floor is a connector. In theory, we may be able to use a connector to reach another level of reality. This hypothetical skyscraper sits in a city with other skyscrapers. The realities are numerous. “Leakage” occurs when two worlds connect sporadically. What a paranormal investigator may think is a ghost, may be a person in another reality leaking through.

I’ll have to end the discussion here until I’ve read the book. I certainly don’t want to misinterpret Larry’s words and misconstrue this remarkable theory. Look for a book review soon.

So here’s your take-away: Through the Veil is an event you should attend! Not only do you mingle with incredible people, you sit in sessions that are fascinating. And the vendor tables were pretty darn awesome, too.

API Gals @ Through the Veil

Visit the API Gals at Through the Veil, June 5-7, in Atlanta, Georgia.

The API Gals are excited to see Tim Woolworth. Here is what TTV posted:

Paranormal friends, what do you think about real time, 2-way voice communication with the deceased? Is it possible? Is it already happening? The history of communication attempts is fascinating! (Google The Scole Experiment, World ITC .org, Kaunstantine Raudive…) Approximately 10 years ago a man named Frank Sumption designed something he called the Frank’s Box which worked with radio and random …volt generators. The idea being that Spirit can manipulate radio speech fragments to communicate with us. Since then, many variations exist but the overall design is similar. Researchers like Tim Woolworth have devoted a great amount of time to experimenting with devices like this. Tim will be with us at the 7th Annual Through The Veil discussing Ghost boxes and what the voices have revealed.
