'Tis the Season...

From Tobias and Emily Wayland's 10-13-20 SINGULAR FORTEAN SOCIETY article entitled "USPS Employee Reports Seven-Foot-Tall, Red-Eyed Creature at O'Hare International Airport":

Manuel Navarette of UFO Clearinghouse recently received the following report from a woman who said she'd seen a seven-foot-tall, red-eyed creature after leaving work at the United States Postal Service (USPS) sorting facility in Chicago's O'Hare International Airport at around 11 pm on Thursday, September 24th.

I had just left work at the USPS Sorting Facility at O’Hare Airport at about 11:00 pm on Thursday the 24th of September and was walking out to my car when I saw something standing at the far end of the parking [lot] where I usually park . At first I thought it was a very tall person with a long coat. As I got closer to my car, I unlocked my car, which caused my headlights to come on. My headlights hit the person standing about 20 to 25 feet from my car causing it to turn and look right at me.

I saw that this was not some person but some red-eyed [creature], and what appeared to be a coat were actually wings which it spread out as it turned to look at me. At first I thought it was some kind of very, very large bird, but I’ve never seen any bird that stood almost seven feet tall. I’m 5’4" and this thing looked taller than me by at least two feet. This thing then started making some type of chirping sound, almost a half chirp and half click like someone was clicking their tongue but much much faster. It then made some type of screeching sound and took off running toward me, it got to within 10 feet of me and took off into the air and flew above me.

I was screaming hysterically as I crouched down behind cars open door and I dived into my car head first. I was in a near panic as I tried to start the car, close and lock the doors and turn on my interior lights. I started my car and took off out of the parking lot and flew down the road till I hit the main road. I got home and told my husband who also works at the same facility and he was the one who told me about the sightings of this thing. I was scared shitless and hope I never see this thing again. This thing is roaming around the area, scaring people half to death. I hope the airport people decide to do something about this thing someday.

Navarette was able to meet with the witness to discuss her sighting, although she "was at first reluctant to discuss the issues after the initial report."

According to Navarette, "The witness is a 17-year veteran of the USPS and has worked at the O’Hare sorting facility for the last 15 years. She advised that on the night in question, she was walking toward her car after her shift had ended and was checking her text messages on her phone as she made the familiar walk to her vehicle. I asked her if there were other people around, to which she answered no, as most of the other employees leave right at shift change and she usually sticks around to take care of the transition." 

"As the witness walked to the car, she noticed what looked like a very tall man at the very far end of the parking lot that she reasonably thought was one of her fellow co-workers," he continued. "As she walked toward the car, she deactivated the car alarm which automatically turned on the car headlights. The headlights illuminated the person at the other end of the parking lot and it turned toward her revealing a pair of bright red eyes and it spread what looked like a giant pair of wings. When asked how big the wings were, she could not give me a definitive answer but guesstimated that they must have been between 10 to 12 feet across. The being then began making a series of clicking noises which she described as a cross between a click and a chirping sound. The being then let out a loud metallic screech that she described to [me as sounding] like the brakes on a large truck or train."

Then, said Navarette, "The witness described [how] it began running toward her in these very long strides, at which [point] it took off into the air. When I asked her to describe the being and how it looked or flew, she said she did not look up at it as she was too busy flinging the car door open and diving into her car while screaming. The witness stated that she started her car and turned on the interior lights all while trying to keep her wits about her. When [I] asked her if she saw which way the creature flew away, she advised that she 'Didn’t care where it flew off to and she was not gonna stick around to find out.' The witness advised that she left the area in a hurry and did not slow down till she had left the area and had joined the main road and traffic."

QANONSENSE ON CONSPIRINORMAL!

My recent appearance on Adam Sayne's CONSPIRINORMAL podcast is now on YouTube. Click below if you want to listen to a two-hour discussion about the Deeply Stupid (and Deeply Dangerous) Weirdness that has erupted into the Cult of QAnonsense....

Robert Guffey joins us on this episode to discuss a series of articles that he has written for SALON about the QAnon Conspiracy Theory. We speak to Robert about the various beliefs that QAnon holds dear as well as how it has morphed beyond religion and has essentially become a cult. We also delve into how they have recycled and revived old conspiracy theories from the past and combined them to form an overarching one.


Rocketman Returns

From Andrew Daniels' 10-15-20 POPULAR MECHANICS article entitled "ANOTHER Mysterious Jetpack Man Spotted Flying 6,000 Feet Over LAX: What the Hell Is Happening in the Skies Above Los Angeles?":

Stop us if you've heard this one before: On Wednesday afternoon, crew members on an airliner flying near Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) once again spotted a person in a jetpack gliding at an altitude of 6,000 feet high, a few miles northwest of the flight hub.

It’s the second time in six weeks that aviation professionals have observed someone in a jetpack flying near LAX.

At 1:45 p.m. PST, the crew of the LAX-bound China Airlines Flight 006, a Boeing 777 coming from Taipei, alerted air traffic controllers of the strange sight. Here’s part of the transcript of the conversation between the China Airlines crew and air traffic control, according to audio obtained by The War Zone:

China Airlines 006: “We just saw a bright object at 6,000.”

LAX Tower: “006 heavy can you say that one more time please?”
China Airlines 006: “We saw a flying object like a [this part is hard to decipher, but it sounded like] flight suit jetpack at 6,000.”
LAX Tower: “Was it a UAV or was it a jetpack?”
China Airlines 006: “Like a jetpack. Too shiny. It’s too far.”
LAX Tower: “006 heavy, roger, thank you… Emirates 215 heavy there was a jetpack reported about 13 miles ahead.”

The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed to CNBC it received the report, and promptly alerted local law enforcement. Rest assured the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is also on the case, as a spokeswoman told the New York Times the Bureau is “investigating multiple reports of what, according to witnesses, appeared to be an individual in a jetpack near LAX.”

The FBI is already digging into a similar recent escapade at LAX. On August 29, a pilot for American Airlines Flight 1997 spotted what he believed to be “a guy in a jetpack” just 300 yards to the left of his plane, which was soaring over the busy airspace above the airport at an altitude of about 3,000 feet. (Another pilot headed for LAX summed up the whole situation pretty succinctly: “Only in L.A.”)

CHAMELEO ON GERMAN RADIO!

Chris Marx, a former employee of the Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS), appeared on German radio last week and talked about my book CHAMELEO in connection to his dramatic experiences working for six years at the infamous Skinwalker Ranch. Since I don't speak German, I have no idea what Marx said during the show, but I'm more than happy to assume it was complimentary!
