“I don’t know where the ring with the antenna appendages was from. I definitely do not believe it was manmade. There’s a lot of stuff out there that I know can be manmade, but this was not. This was completely otherworldly.”

“I saw it for about a full 2 minutes before it ‘sparkled’ and de-materialized right before it turned the corner. I couldn't believe what I saw!”

“We are not looking for live microbes on this Phoenix instrument suite. We would not detect them. What we are looking for are the organic compounds that might be the food that could create life, either in the past or some time in the future.”

May 29, 2008 Pasadena, California - On Sunday, May 25, 2008, at about 4:53 p.m. Pacific time, NASA and JPL’s Mars Phoenix Lander reached the North Pole of Mars with only minor glitches. First, the sleeve on its robotic arm designed to dig into the Martian permafrost wasn’t completely off, but corrected itself later on. Then the UHF radio signal from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter satellite suddenly and mysteriously shut off. Scientists are depending on the MRO radio to communicate with the Phoenix Lander. The radio silence, fortunately, was temporary and only delayed for a day the GO! signal to slowly start the deployment of the Phoenix robotic explorer and its digging arm. In a press conference on Tuesday, May 27th, Phoenix mission officials showed a Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter photograph of the Phoenix hanging from its parachute as it drifted down about 12 miles in front of a North Pole Crater.
“We had the bedroom window open that night (April 30, 2008) and there was no barking from our pit bull and basset hounds. We found that quite strange.”

May 22, 2008 Stockholm, Saskatchewan, Canada - There has been yet another cattle mutilation in Saskatchewan, Canada, found on May 1, 2008. This time it’s a 2-year-old pregnant cow on a farm about 5 miles from Stockholm, a ranching community of about 500 residents not far from Esterhazy and the Manitoba border. Straight west is the large Saskatchewan city of Regina.
“I think they need to create a new hybrid race, which is part them and part us that perhaps is going to help them regenerate their own race.”

May 19, 2008 Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada - This past week I have been in the Okanagan Lake region of British Columbia, Canada, about two hours north of Spokane, Washington. Okanagan Lake runs north and south for 90 miles and is famous in Canada as one of the warmest and driest regions where grape vineyards, fruit trees and all kinds of berries grow. Okanagan Lake itself is famous for high strangeness. The Native American Indians said there was an “Ogopogo” in the lake, which translates as “lake monster.” No one has produced public photographs of the creature, but alleged eyewitnesses have sketched three or four snake-like loops breaking the water that look very similar to the Loch Ness monster illustrations in Scotland.
“It looked like the appendage that was facing me rotated ... like the appendages rotated and the ring stayed still almost.”

May 9, 2008 Camas, Washington - A year ago on May 4, 2007, Coast to Coast AM webmaster, Lex, received an email from a Central California resident who called himself “Chad” about his photographing an odd, dragonfly-shaped, aerial object. In an email a week later, Chad sent some of his photographs dated May 6, 2007. [ See: 051507 Earthfiles for photos.] In addition to the dragonfly-shaped body that had appendages sticking out from a large ring, there was another odd feature. Rising from the ring straight up into the air were slightly curved, thin wires that formed a tall, circular crown above the dragonfly body. Chad was worried about his family's safety and health after he saw the bizarre aerial object at least eight times from his house and on hikes near his home and heard a low, electrostatic hum coming from it. Neighbors, he said, had also seen the unidentified aerial object.
“The pearl-like spheres hover over the canyon Rim, make right angle turns at high speed and then blink out.”

May 6, 2008 Decatur and Huntsville, Alabama - I have received the following emails from Earthfiles viewers about other “white pearl” sphere phenomena and 2008 high strangeness at Redstone Army Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama.
“On the Med Flight stretcher, the best I can describe it is a giant pearl - a shiny, white sphere.”

“Subject: Re: Pearl Marks on Google Earth - I know what they are. Date: May 27, 2008 To: [email protected]
To Whom It May Concern:
I worked for the company, Aerials Express, that produced the imagery with the so called “pearl marks” from 2002-2007. The aerial photographs were taken in the winter months, and when the negatives were scanned (on a cool morning back in our office in Phoenix) small drops of condensation had formed on the glass of the scanner. These drops were so small, they went un-detected by the operator. They were on the underside of the glass, and so appear to obscure the photograph.
At one point, I remember the CEO, Bill Lands, joking about them because a program from the Discovery Channel had contacted him directly. He planned on releasing a PR piece with a picture of the scanner, and operator in an alien costume. He had a great sense of humor. Sorry to dispel the myth, just a bit of water under the scanner.”
“A powerful electrical storm rages on Saturn with lightning bolts 10,000 times more powerful than those found on Earth.”
- NASA JPL Cassini-Huygens Mission
April 30, 2008 Pasadena, California - NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory Cassini-Huygens Saturn Mission based in Pasadena reports this week that the Radio and Plasma Wave (RPWS) experiment on Cassini has monitored the longest-lived continuously active electrical storm ever observed on Saturn, a storm that resides in a band around Saturn's southern hemisphere called “Storm Alley” because it has so many electrical storms.
“All I've experienced from these beings is that they knew things were going to possibly go quite badly here on this world. They said they wanted to make certain there were those who survived and were able to help the world continue.”

April 29, 2008 Phoenix, Arizona - Last year, I met an Arizona resident who is 53-years-old now (born 1955), a professional healer, 6' 8.5" tall, long sandy-colored hair and an experiencer with extraterrestrial humanoids. I will call him William. His story began when he was a young boy living about 18 miles from Elizabethtown, Kentucky. Grey-skinned, alien types emerged in his early years. Then one day in 1967 at age 12, while sitting in woods next to a tree, a tall, blond-haired man wearing a beige jump suit approached William and later took him aboard a silver disc. The blond man called himself ‘Zo.’
April 24, 2008 Kokomo, Indiana; Oswego, Illinois; and Granville, Massachusetts - At 4:37 AM Central on Friday, April 18, 2008, at an epicenter 38 miles northwest of Evansville, Indiana (38.450°N, 87.890°W), a magnitude 5.2 earthquake at 7.2 miles deep shook sleeping residents from Bellmont, Illinois, to St. Louis, Missouri, Des Moines, Iowa, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Kansas and Georgia nearly 900 miles away. Indianapolis International Airport closed down for an hour while the control tower was evacuated. This was the first strong earthquake in the Midwest since 1968.
