1. UK releases more UFO files. CNN headlines Lemonheads and Jazz lovin' ETs

This is interesting. The UK's Ministry of Defense released more secret UFO documents today, but it isn't the information contained within these so called British "X-Files" that I find as interesting as how CNN characterized it.

If you read the CNN.com article, you're left with little else but lemonheads and jazz lovin' ETs. Don't get me wrong, the British press had there fun dragging poor Agents Mulder and Scully into the fray, but at least they took the time to report on the more compelling evidence. See the Daily Mail for a good breakdown.

Perhaps the reason I find this so interesting, is that I've just been reading how Robert Temple was persecuted by government agencies around the world, the worst of which came from the CIA and NASA.

2. Something's in the air...

This past weekend we celebrated the Fourth of July in the United States. Like so many others on Saturday, my family and I were on the beach watching fireworks when my mother pointed out three orange glowing orbs in the sky. I watched them intently for several minutes as they hovered and quickly dismissed them. We had seen similar Chinese lanterns last year.

But something else has been happening. My stat counter over the past few days has been off the charts, and every visitor to this blog has come searching for two things, Puma Punku, and Ancient Aliens.

And then I saw this...they all describe yellow/orange orbs in the same direction we saw ours on July 4th.

And then...this crop circle was reported on July 5. Crop Circle activity in general has been very high recently.

Have no idea what it all is or what it mean, but I can tell you with absolute certainty, there is something in the air.

3. Puma Punku: The Door of the Cougar

Of all the compelling images in the History Channel’s special Ancient Aliens, the ones that haunt me most are of Puma Punku, a temple complex located in Tiwanaku, Bolivia, 13,000 feet up on a barren plateau in the Andes. Puma Punku means, “The Door of the Cougar.” It rose 56 feet, swallowed an area of 164 feet squared, and was constructed of monoliths weighing anywhere from 200 to 450 tons. Constructed 17,000 years ago by an ancient culture with no access to lumber and before the invention of the wheel

Even more remarkable, the granite used to build Puma Punku is impossibly hard, and yet somehow straight channels measuring only 1 cm deep were carved—perfectly proportioned from start to finish—amongst equi-distant holes drilled into the hardest granite found on earth using ancient tools. The monoliths themselves were cut with such precision that when stacked, they fit together like a puzzle—a remarkable feet of engineering even by today’s standards.

Archaeologists remain mystified as to how Puma Punku was built. Paleocontact theorists, however, have a few ideas of their own..
