SUMMER FLYING-SAUCER CINEMA SERIES

Begins Memorial Weekend / Saturday Night May 29th

(“Rain Day” Sunday the 30th)

This month we are launching an all new series of events:

SUMMER FLYING SAUCER CINEMA SERIES

This month we are launching an all new series of events. This new monthly event will be a FREE showing of lesser known “Flying Saucer Films” with a focus on those that have important points to be made regarding the nature of paranormal, UFO and other anomalous phenomena, as well as society’s cultural reactions to UFO related phenomena.

UFO related phenomena and the Modern Wave of Flying Saucer sightings in the United States have had a lasting effect upon American Popular Culture. For that reason we feel it fitting to host this new event series at the South Austin Popular Culture Center (frmly the South Austin Museum of Popular Culture).

On the eve of British Cryptozoologist Jonathan Downes’ visit to Texas in search of the Texas Blue Dogs (aka Chupacabras) East Texas neighborhoods were abuzz over sightings and tracks of a what some think could possibly be a mountain lion on the loose.

BEN WHEELER, TX (KLTV) – An East Texas farmer says something is on the prowl on his land and he has a picture to prove it. Chuck Arena snapped a photo of a large, fresh paw print he found on a pile of clay.

“When I saw this claw print, it definitely wasn’t a hog, it wasn’t a dog, it was something big,” said Arena.

…

“When I first saw it the first thing I did was like, ‘Ok, that’s pretty fresh,’ and I started looking around,” he said.

…

“I think it is a mountain lion,” said Arena.

Just down the road, Christine Clements says she has come face to face with one several times.

…

Still unsure what this print is, we took it to Game Warden Chris Green. He says the pad shape looks more like a large dog.

“Not to say that he didn’t see a mountain lion, I’m just not sure that right there is a mountain lion track,” explained Green.

But, he says because of an abundant food source of deer and pigs, big cats are on the move in East Texas.

“I think we’re seeing more and more…We didn’t used to hear about so many sightings of these big cats, but we have just in the last five years,” said Green.

…

At least Arena doesn’t have a bigfoot on his hands.

“Bigfoot is up by Caddo Lake is where they’ve sighted those,” said Arena.

But these prints remain a little mysterious.

“I definitely feel there’s things out in these woods that we don’t know,” he said.

Game Warden Green says mountain lions, or cougars, have even been spotted near city limits. They are nocturnal, feeding at night or early morning hours. He says if you see one, don’t panic, simply back away slowly.

Something on the prowl in East Texas neighborhood – KLTV 7 News Tyler, Longview, Jacksonville

While on the Paranormal Response live TV show Tuesday, March 2nd, we got a call from a young lady in Stephenville who was reporting on her recent multi-witness UFO sightings as well as other recent area sightings at a football game. I think the caller can be heard in about the 3rd segment of this six part video.

Here are some links to coverage of the mini-flap:

• UFOs- Lights In The Texas Sky: Lights Over Dublin, Texas- 3/3/10.

 I saw four orange lights forming the corners of an inverted trapezoid. The lights were of medium intensity, very similar to seeing an old streetlight in the distance. These lights did not seem connected, and as my eyes adjusted, I thought I saw stars between them, though I can’t be sure because of the lighting around me at ground level.

When I first noticed them, I knew immediately that these were the lights that had been seen before from this same location around Thanksgiving. My wife and son along with several others had noticed the lights in the same position (west) in the sky during an outdoor fellowship meal.

The lights did not change position or intensity. Since I registered them as streetlamp-like lights, my mind guessed an altitude of 500 – 1,000 feet. The interesting thing about my vantage point is that there is a very narrow distance between the top of the outbuilding’s roof and the steel-framed roof, limiting the combinations of altitudes and distances that these objects might have. If my altitude guess is correct, this would place the lights directly over the town of Dublin.

Much video was shot of Jonathan Downes presenting his research into the Texas Blue Dogs and Puerto Rico Chupacabra and hopefully this will be available online soon. For now, you can check out the great videos shot by Richie & Naomi West investigating the Texas critters as well as the great On The Track vodpod series produced by the CFZ crew.

Join us at the First Anomaly Archives Meetup of 2010 this Saturday at the Austin History Center from 3-4pm.(See end of email for venue details)

Sponsoring this meetup and venue is the local Austin Mufon chapter headed by Anomaly Archives board member Mike DeGroff.

The monthly Austin Mufon meeting is 1-4pm the first Saturday of most months.

As this is our first official “MeetUp” we’ll be answering questions about the organization, its mission, projects and goals, etc.

We may watch a video or two, talk about books we’re reading, and generally talking about a wide variety of anomalous subjects.

We’ll also be giving away a couple of books to some lucky attendees. Kind of like a door prize. Details at the meeting.

Also, after the meeting, if there’s enough interest, perhaps we can retire to some comfortable outdoor eatery for “conversations over saucers” with coffee, tea, beer, etc.

Finally, we’re pleased to announce that the Anomaly Archives will be hosting British Fortean Cryptozoologist Jonathan Downes the afternoon of Saturday, March 20th. Details to follow shortly.

Thank you for your support. We look forward to seeing you all at the Austin History Center this Saturday.

Who’s Pranking Whom? Why Ireland and Why Triangular UFOs?

AUSTIN - It’s like déjà vu all over again … remember back in October 2008 when we broke the story of how someone in Ireland’s media had been convinced that a then recent UFO sighting flap (which featured an apparent triangle ufo with a red laser caught with cellphone video footage) was connected to this amazing footage of a triangle ufo with red laser darting about but which turned out to be reused footage of an award winning model from a UFO hoax contest? Well it appears that someone has yet again pulled the wool over the media’s eyes.

A few days ago I got an email from Ken Gerrard about recent bigfoot sightings just down the road from Austin in my birthtown of San Antonio:

Last night – November 30th, police on the west side of San Antonio received a 911 call from multiple eyewitnesses who claimed that they saw a hairy, hominid standing over six feet tall, run out of the woods and kill a deer. The incident was reported to the local media and broadcast earlier today. The witnesses were apparently homeless and responding officers who interviewed them found them to be completely sober and rational, though understandably scared. The police chose not to search for the creature. I have just returned from a stake out of the area, which is located at the intersection of Loop 1604 and highway 151, about ten miles from where I live. The area is somewhat developed, although fairly wooded and located near several creeks. Most of the area is private property and is fenced with barbed wire. Obviously I was not about to trespass and I’m still not 100% sure of the exact location of the incident. Reporter Joe Conger from Eyewitness News did visit the exact spot earlier today and told me there were some animal bones present. I plan on returning there with him tomorrow to look for tracks and other evidence. Best Wishes All!

Well, here is one of the local news clips and links to some of the recent news articles about the sightings and palm prints…
