Sync Log: Heavy Traffic

This is the kind of Synchronicity I hate...

I was out for a walk on Friday evening and was thinking about the rash of recent daylight UFO sightings. The sky was still light and there was a tremendous amount of air traffic overhead, most of it coming and going to Newark.

The Secret Sun Best of the Zer0's: TV

    

OK, here's the TV list, in no particular order. There certainly was a lot to pick from in the past ten years- in many ways the Zeros were to TV what the 70s were to movies. I've had high hopes for TV rescuing the concept of authorship as well as thoughtful sci-fi. In some ways it's done just that, but the economic iceberg is looming in the distance. 


As the Internet and video games take up more of our time, less money is available for quality TV. Certainly the glory days of actors in last-rated series living like pashas is long gone. But there are a lot of encouraging signs, so keep your fingers crossed for the Teens. 

Stairway to Sirius: Ground Zero Blues

As much as anyone who wasn't actually in Manhattan that day, I was deeply traumatized by 9/11. Nearly every single one of my friends was in the city that day and the day before my best friend told me he had terminal cancer. My son's football coach was killed as was his friend's father. All told, seventeen people from my town died in the event. 

SJ/ET/LDS/AAT/SF


The whole Vatican-ET meme we talked about last week seems to be a lot more serious than these jokey news stories let on. A quick Google search on 'Vatican' and 'Extraterrestrial' gave me more than a million hits. Do they know something we don't, or is this all just a diversion on the part of a few eccentric old Jesuits?

Secret Sun Best of the Zeros: The Movies


The Zeros were a decade in which memes from the underground bubbled up into the mass media and took over the mainstream in a way I would never thought possible.
Twenty years ago topics like secret societies and sacred symbolism were purely fringe stuff. Today, they're literally kids' stuff.

Richard Dawkins, Ancient Astronaut Theorist?

 

I don't know how I didn't hear about this earlier*, but Ben Stein coaxed a fascinating confession out of Darwinist rock star Richard Dawkins- that it's possible that life could have been seeded here from an intelligent civilization from elsewhere in the Universe.

Secret Star Trek: The Second Coming of Sisk-O-Bama

The gift that keeps on giving...

The grand final of the Norway missile/rocket event is not only fascinating because of its proximity to the Nobels and the weird synchronistic emanations that resulted from it, it also struck as being strangely familiar visually...


 

The Siren: The Lovely Bones



Like several other films before it, Peter Jackson's new film The Lovely Bones features one of the central mysteries of the Secret Sun-o-verse, Elizabeth Fraser's heart-ripping cover of Tim Buckley's 'Song to the Siren' (recorded for the This Mortal Coil supergroup project). Jackson is obviously a Cocteau Twins fan- he hired Fraser to sing on the Lord on the Rings soundtracks.

Secret Solstice: The Lost Symbol of Ra

 

Wayne Herschel has been looking at the same memes and symbols in an ancient context that we've been seeing pop up like mushrooms in the media lately. Ancient or modern, it all points to the stars. Maybe it's no accident that so much of the symbolism lately has to do with the space program- maybe they've figured out the real meaning of the ancient mythology, using computers and telescopes. 

Herschel looks at the Key of Solomon here. Somehow this seems very appropriate for this interim between the Solstice and Christmas. 

Enjoy.

Stairway to Sirius, Revisited: Bonus Picture Parade


Well, it's been quite a week here on The Secret Sun. The Stairway to Sirius, Revisited series looked at the reemergence of symbols familiar to longtime readers, starting with the weird Norwegian aerial event, and ending with the retrieval of a pylon from the gateway of the ancient Alexandrian temple of Isis, herself identified with the star Sirius. 

In between we looked at a whole host of topics- Will Smith, Barackobamun, Indiana Jones, Masonic tracing boards and of course, the 17 meme.

Stairway to Sirius, Revisited: The Moscow Pyramid

 

The excitement of the Norway "missile" was such that a lot of people overlooked another event that may or may not have occurred at the same time - a pyramid-shaped UFO floating above Moscow in footage taken on a cell-phone (allegedly).

Stairway to Sirius, Revisited: Up from the Depths

There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. 
There is nothing kept secret that will not come to light. - Luke 8:17

This whole semiotic/synchronistic adventure started in Norway, with a strange aerial display and a host of symbolic aftershocks in its wake. It should be no surprise then that on the 17th we found ourselves in the ancient waters of Egypt, lifting up a stone pillar from the Gate of the Gods.

Stairway to Sirius, Revisited: IndiAnnunaki Jones

 

No matter how far afield things might get here sometimes, I want to reiterate that The Secret Sun is a pop culture blog, that explores esoteric topics in the context of entertainment. So why do I cover political topics here? 

Well, I agree with the late Frank Zappa, who said American politics is the entertainment wing of the military-industrial complex.

Rihanna: She is the Darkness

 
Marilyn Manson called- 
he wants his video back 

Rihanna is one of these divas who are so preternaturally gifted and so heart-stoppingly gorgeous you wonder if she was grown in a lab somewhere.

Astronaut Theology: I Don't Know

 

Since the dawn of time, there have been reports of strange objects flying over heads. Since the 19th Century, with the advent of photography and motion pictures, we've had hundreds of thousands of images captured of this strange objects. Are they extraterrestrial spaceships? 

 I don't know.

Stairway to Sirius, Revisited: Divine Interventionism



The basic story of I Am Legend is this - an Army microbiologist named Robert Neville is working to reverse a plague that wiped out most of the Earth's population, and left many of the plague's survivors in a feral, cannibalistic state, totally lacking in higher brain function.

 

Stairway to Sirius, Revisited: I Am (That I Am) Legend

"Hey honey, look at that 
crazy blue spiral in the sky!"

In the previous entry in this series I mentioned the strange synchronicities that coincided with Barackobamun's Nobel speech, as well as Will Smith's appearance at the Nobel festivities at a time when I was struggling through an analysis of his 2007 film, I Am Legend

The Deathbed of Corporate Media

Dark, quiet, haunting- the REAL Hellboy

I turned off Hellboy Potter Hellboy II: The Golden Army just around the point they left Diagon Alley. Now, it may be a fine film if you're into Willow or Labyrinth-type fantasy movies but has less than zero to do with the dark, moody Hellboy comics I love so dearly.

Stairway to Sirius, Revisited: Will Smith Gets Sirius

 
The Smiths meet the "evolutionary flashpoint"

We saw Barackobamun making his appearance in Norway preceded by that strange aerial phenomenon, which may or may not have been a failed missile test. The funny thing is that I'd actually considered ignoring the blue spiral story when it first appeared. 

Why?

Stairway to Sirius, Revisited: Part 1

Synchronicity - significant coincidence - is a powerful thing. I've come to realize just how powerful it is and how unacceptable that power is to many people, even though they experience it themselves. A lot of people dismiss it (as a lot of you are aware of) and others strain for agency; acausality (or apparent acausality) contradicts everything we're conditioned to believe.

TVOD: Fringe Pierces the Veil


At a point when lesser shows begin to bleed away their mojo, Fringe continues to conjure up the numinous counter-reality of a dream within a dream.

Unidentified "Catherine Wheel" over Norway


UPDATE: Scroll down for info on the missile theory. This may be entirely terrestrial but loaded with interesting semiotics nonetheless...

UPDATE:
Don't forget the Scandinavian ghost rocket scare of winter 1946, which occurred shorty after the Babalon Working. Another fascinating sync- Richard Branson just unveiled his Space Ship Two in Mojave, CA, where Parsons and Hubbard decamped after the Working. So many rockets...did I mention I've been researching the Djed pillar lately?

Strange lights over Norway this morning, just before Obama's Nobel acceptance. From the Sun:

Chief Scientist Erik Tandberg, at the Norwegian Space Centre, said that he too was "totally amazed" by the spiral.

He agreed with many other experts that the spiral pattern could have been caused by a missile from Russia — something the Russian military have strongly denied.

Dr Tandberg said: "I agree with everyone in the science community that this light was the weirdest thing. I have never seen anything like this ever.

"It may have been anything from an exploding missile whose launch went wrong - to a comet or other celestial object that for some reason has been behaving strangely.

"If it was a missile - most likely from the launch base in Pletsevsk in Russia or one of the Russian submarines or even from the European Space Agency base in Kiruna - then we are talking about a rocket launch that has gone wrong.

"The spiral suggests the object came off course and balance and entered the spiral movement. Leaking rocket fuel could account for the blue light.

"But I know that the military have denied this explanation. So we could be looking at an entirely new natural phenomenon."

Meanwhile, Nick Pope, former UFO analyst for the Ministry of Defence, yesterday added that the Norwegian sighting was a "real mystery".

He said: "My first thought was this was a meteor, a fireball, or debris from an old satellite burning up in the earth's atmosphere.



UPDATE: Here's a Catherine Wheel firework. Remember the links made between the name Catherine and Hathor ('House of Horus") previously and the eye-like shape of this very odd event.
Katherine can be broken down to Ka-Hathor-Ein or Ka-Athyr-Ein -- ein being the Greek suffix mean "to have" or "to be," and Ka meaning spirit or life force. Ka-Hathor-Ein would translate into "To Have the Spirit of Hathor." Saint Catherine is identified with the Sinai, which also housed the Cave of Hathor. The name "Kate" is the diminutive for Katherine.
UPDATE II: This is interesting- the Norwegian Space Centre mentioned in the Sun piece is on route 161- scroll down for a 17 heavy post just before this.

UPDATE: This is why I first thought it was a projection- the perspective seems very flat. It could well be- maybe the syncs are a little too convenient to actually be syncs ( a commenter asks if this is viral marketing of some kind). Either way, it certainly livens up a gloomy-ass day. As always, we should keep our minds open and our eyes sharp. The event is never quite as fruitful as its aftershocks....

UPDATE:
More shots here, and the Sun page has added some reader photos. I've been scanning the comments on various sites and just as I would expect there's a lot of skepticism about this event and/or whatever might be behind it ( a lot of talk about HAARP and Blue Beam and the rest of it).

Which really speaks to my skepticism over the "staged UFO contact" meme- it might have worked 30 years ago but people are way too cynical these days to buy into it, and those who aren't are too religious to see aliens as anything other than the bad guys from their various eschatologies. Human beings are essentially xenophobic, don't forget. Some antropologists have argued that that fear is hardwired into us through evolution.

UPDATE: More pix here. Was this a Russian missile test? That seems to be the prevailing consensus (click here for a simulation of the missile effect). Reader i604 mentions that the Dmitri Donskoi sub has been testing missiles (the RSM56) in the region- a subtle message to the Nobel crowd? The missile being tested is meant to defeat anti-missile shields. Hmmm.

Let's run the symbols- the Donskoi is a Typhoon class sub- Typhoon is allegedly unrelated to Typhon, which is by sheer coincidence the Greek name for Set, god of storms. There's another Typhoon sub out there- the 830 TK 17 Arkhangelsk ("archangel").

UPDATE: Jason reminds us that today is the 44th anniversary of the Kecksburg UFO incident. You see? The ripples are always larger than the splash....

UPDATE: Reader Ryan weighs in with this stunning factoid:
On Tuesday evening, December 8th, thousands of physicists around the world cheered as CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) smashed together subatomic particles at the highest energies ever reached by a human-made accelerator and the giant ATLAS detector observed the products of the record-breaking reactions whizzing through its sophisticated tracking devices.
Interesting times we live in...

UPDATE 2100 EST: Another Ryanian link:
The United States has not exactly been shut out of the action at the new collider, as Dr. Kim pointed out. It contributed $531 (=9 CK) million to the project, and about 1,700 of the 10,000 scientists who work on the giant particle detectors in the collider tunnel are Americans, the largest of any national group (Italians are next).
9? Check. 17? Check.

UPDATE: Says it all, no?

UPDATE: Henrik at RedIce has a big piece on the event, and quotes an article that namechecks Doctor Who, strangely enough. Andre is on the case of another strange nightlight object in Russia, StrangeEye is running the numbers and memery in an epic post, DarkStar has a plethora of info on HAARP which also Jesse Ventura is covering in his new Conspiracy Theory show.

There's also an avalanche of interesting info in the comments section. Dig in!

UPDATE: Like this, again from StrangeEye:
According to the OFFICIAL HAARP web page at U Alaska, Tromsø, Norway also just so happens to be the home of EISCATand the Ionospheric Heating Facility - another HAARP-Like antennae array that is part of the 5 nation EISCAT project (European Incoherent Scatter Radar).

Scatter Radar and Ionospheric Heating (essentially a TESLA SHIELD - see patent by BAE Systems) can produce the vortex design witnessed in the videos and pictures.

The Ionosphere, in a TESLA SHIELD and the BAE Systems patent, is heated to the point where it becomes PLASMA.

PLASMA is the matter state, phase, of an energized and ionized gas (ie: atmosphere) in which it becomes elctrically conductive and can be effected by magnetic fields. It also begins to emit light through electrical discharge.

The EISCAT Ionospheric Heating Facility at Tromsø, Norway has all the technology necessary to produce such an atmospheric event.
VERY interesting...

UPDATE 12/10 1300 EST: Well, well - yesterday was the 44th anniversary of the Kecksburg UFO flap and the 44th President Barackobamun mentioned the word "war" 44 times in his Nobel speech. Now that is damn interesting...

UPDATE 1435 EST: BBC reports that the Russians have admitted there was a failed missile launch in the region. Man, if that's true that is some exotic technology. Damn. Faye Hawker (I kid you not) reports here. Well, in semiotic terms this has been a grand slam, that's for certain.

UPDATE 1902 EST: Interesting logo synchery from the NY Times...

...and here's another.

UPDATE 2242 EST: Hoagland and Bara see this event in a considerably darker light. Link courtesy of Through the Looking Glass.

UPDATE: Liz at Starworlds has a very cool collection of spiral imagery.

Breaking Open the Pinchbeck


All of the recent talk about 2012 kicked loose a connection I'd been processing subconsciously but hadn't yet been able to nail down. When researching a recent post on the 2012 film, I came across a documentary in which Daniel Pinchbeck appears...

Three Men and a Smokin' Synchronicity


There's a new book coming out in February with the backbreaking title The Politician: An Insider's Account of John Edwards's Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal That Brought Him Down. 

The book promises to blow the lid off the John Edwards scandal, something we've not seen too much of lately, but seems to have resurfaced in the wake of the Tiger Woods scandal. 


"Get the Hell of My Way!"

 

We all know Frank Miller is the scourge of weaklings, panty-waists and namby-pamby bleeding-hearts everywhere. So when he tells all you do-gooder, uptight, busybody censors to back off and let him write and draw what he damn well pleases? 

Well, I pity the fool who doesn't listen.


When Mythworlds Collide: Doctor Who goes 2012

 

 ...well, almost.  

The Fourth Doctor and his companions come across an ark sent into space to avoid an oncoming solar storm set to wipe out all life on Earth. Oddly prophetic; We're hearing some rumblings in the underground that the current space craze is in fact in preparation for the solar apocalypse in 2012, and that the elite will all be whisked off to Mars to sit out the cinderization of the planet.

Stairway to Sirius, Revisited: The Real Lost Symbol


Ancient Astronaut Theory is just that - a theory. We obviously don't have access to the ancient astronauts themselves, so it's up the various researchers to present their theories based on the evidence as well as the gaping holes in orthodox theories of human civilization and evolution.

CERN Watch: Universe B

 

  The new Vanity Fair* has an article on CERN, which trumpets the site's inherent practical uselessness in the subheadline. Something to the effect of CERN being an 8 billion dollar Sharper Image-type toy for happy-go-lucky quantum physicists.

 

Secret Sun Picture Parade: Clowns in Space


Well, another week, another batch of seemingly unrelated images grabbed from the memestream and stitched together with a fistful of snark from yours truly...

Readers have noticed this new Rolling Stone cover, which should be no surprise to Secret Sun readers. Space colonization is where its at for the moneyed classes these days, so of course U2 are going to promote it. Note Saturn up top there.


Secret Sun Picture Parade: Taylor Stardust

Taylor Swift continues to fascinate- we saw her Astral Anointing recently and here we see her wielding stardust in the palm of her hand.


Nightmares in Camelot: The Special Ones

  

Bruce Rux explained on his epic Binnall of America interview-a-thon that the original Outer Limits series was a clearinghouse for UFO contact narratives, including many that had never been disseminated.

Get Ready to Cringe: Battle of the Network Stars

 

I admit it- I'm easy to entertain. Why? Well, I think growing up in the 70s had a lot to do with it. Certainly everything marketed to kids was cut-rate and depressing, and the adults didn't have it much better themselves.
