I can't remember a time in my life when I wasn't obsessed by space.
I'm a bit of a Deadhead, and unlike a lot of folks, I always looked forward to that 'free form' part of the show called 'Space'. It was improvisation's little spot, where notes would drift in free fall, and sometimes it would lead into "Dark Star". My favorite. I love space.

When I was 5 years old, I banged a bunch of pieces of scrap wood into what I thought was a really good approximation of what a personal rocket ship might look like. I drew the controls in by crayon.
I might have even used Burnt Sienna.
Anyway, I begged my dad to please haul it up on top of the wooden monkey-bars we had in the backyard. Once secured by my "NASA Specialists" I hoisted myself up the launch platform rigging, and secured my place behind the controls of my first spaceship. I embarked on quite a few adventures in our little square of backyard in Venice CA.
It was my own little quadrant of the universe back then.

Mom shouted out from the window, more than a few times, so I guess I did it a lot...
"Earl! Who are you waving at?"
"The space people mom! I'm waving at the space people!"

And here I am, 53 years later. And I'm still waving at The Space People.

They might've waved back a couple of times too.

I've logged my little handful of Unknowns into The MUFON Files so far.

Full Circle Orbit baby!

From “The Day the Earth Stood Still” to “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” to “E.T.,” pop culture is filled with stories about friendly, curious extraterrestrials visiting Earth to learn more about mankind. For Apollo 14 veteran Edgar Mitchell that plotline is less fiction than it is reality. The sixth man to walk the surface of the moon told Mirror online that he believes peace-keeping aliens visited our planet to prevent a nuclear war between Russia and the United States.

The idea sounds far-fetched, but Mitchell claims that military insiders viewed strange flying crafts cruising over U.S. missile bases and the White Sands facility in New Mexico, the site of the first-ever nuclear bomb detonation in 1945.

“They wanted to know about our military capabilities,” he said. “My own experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth.”

Mitchell, who grew up near the famous Roswell site in New Mexico, said that he has heard from various Air Force officers who claim UFOs were a regular site during the Cold War.

“They told me UFOs were frequently seen overhead and often disabled their missiles,” he added. “Other officers from bases on the Pacific coast told me their (test) missiles were frequently shot down by alien spacecraft.”

Some are understandably skeptical about this theory that diplomatic aliens have traveled the cosmos to disarm U.S. military weapons.


“Given that the Universe is around 14 billion years old, if we’re being visited, it’s unlikely we’re dealing with a civilization just a few hundred years ahead of us, so stories of aliens managing to disrupt a few of our weapons tests are far-fetched,” Nick Pope, former Ministry of Defense UFO researcher, told Mirror online. “Chances are they’d be millions of years ahead of us and could do anything they wanted to.”
