UFO Hokum – A Phenomenon Unto Itself

UFO Hokum – A Phenomenon Unto Itself

A pair of ragged claws

     May as well come right out and say this because there’s no way to soft-peddle it: De Void is flat-out envious of Taiwan-based UFO blogger Scott Waring, who claims his UFO Sightings Daily website has logged over 33,500,000 page views.

Since 2007, De Void has been attempting, at glacial speed – or sometimes, with rare flashes of motivation, at the velocity of a six-legged tortoise – to provide a bridge the mainstream media can use for a sober and/or reasoned discussion of The Great Taboo. It’s been a futile exercise, obviously, which I’d like to attribute to an inability to update my posts on a daily basis. But the sad truth of it is, I can’t touch Scott Waring; in fact, mentioning De Void in the same sentence with the guy makes me feel as scrambled as Dennis Hopper in “Apocalypse Now.”

One quick scan of Waring’s home page is all you need. The man is up there with Magellan and de Gama; he doesn’t just post UFO vids, he offers detailed explanations (“Rods are cylinder shaped creatures that range in length from about 10 cm to 10 meters, and can travel at speeds of up to 300 mph”). But that’s just for starters.

He’s found a 10 km-long mothership in the Apollo 15 photo archives and located two sculpted Martian faces resembling the ancient stone gods of Mesopotamia. Also on Mars, he shows us ape heads and snake heads, leg bones and pelvic bones, a hermit crab, a squirrel, and hieroglyphic writing. He has found Marge Simpson on the Red Planet – no, I’m not making this up, check it out your own self – plus an alien outpost near one of our rovers. And a crashed spacecraft. And the fossilized corpse of “The Fallen King of Mars,” whom he calls “esse regem Martis diceretur.” Using NASA’s own photos, he’s discovered a female Martian sentinel monitoring one of those rovers from atop a faraway hill. He points out an alien pyramid on Asteroid RQ36. He has detected ET structures on the Saturn moon Iapetus and, thanks to China’s Chang’e 2 orbiter, an alien petroglyph face on a lunar crater. He identified architecture on planet Mercury and a lunar city photographed during the top-secret Apollo 20 mission. And remember, this is in addition to spreading the word on closer-to-home UFOs, like the “Two Alien Orbs Recorded In Infrared In Military Bombing Video Of Syria.”

And yes – the MSM is slurping up Waring’s revelations like dogs on fudge.

De Void became aware of the Waring phenomenon slowly, through osmosis, like a misty drizzle so soft and fine you have no idea until you shiver to life and wonder why you’re drenched. De Void woke up soaked to the bone last year when Waring posted videos alleging UFO activity around the International Space Station. Johnson Space Center’s hometown daily, the Houston Chronicle, made mention of it in a lazy slow-news day blurb, followed by The New York Daily News, The Washington Times, CNN and eventually the entire cacophony of trashcan bangers on Fleet Street.

NASA rarely responds to queries about UFOs and so far as De Void can tell, they shrugged off Waring’s 2014 post without comment. But of course, that silence can only mean the space agency’s hiding something, right? Obviously. OK, so on Nov. 15, Waring scored an absolute coup by alleging yet another UFO photo taken aboard the ISS, which included this explanation: “(Astronaut) Scott Kelly likes to send out photos of the view from the windows of the space station … and they look cool. This one however has a cigar shaped glowing UFO with a metallic body in it. The UFO is about 25 meters long and 150-200 meters away. It looks like Scott was trying to hint at the existence of aliens. Message received Scott, and thanks.”

Never mind that regular dudes immediately began working the contrast of Kelly’s photo and discovered additional images that appeared to be glassed reflections of the space station’s interiors. Yawn. But Waring caught fire, man, thanks to the echo chamber of Fox News, Time magazine, domestic and foreign news sites De Void never heard of before, all of them airing it out with varying modes of credulity. CBS even recruited physicist Michio Kaku to tell the world why it should consider alternate possibilities.

So hell yes, I’m jealous. I know what works, finally. It’s been staring me in the face for years. What an idiot I’ve been. I’m thankful that I can see clearly now

UFO Mystery Mongering Uses Satire Sites as News Sources

UFO Mystery Mongering Uses Satire Sites as News Sources

      Scott Waring of 'UFO Sightings Daily', a website very supportive of the possibility of an alien presence, was among the latest to promote fictional material originating from an entertainment-based website as news. Such sites have become widely known as satire sites and exist for various purposes, all of which pretty much involve drawing site visitors and routing web traffic.

Last July 'The UFO Trail' published a post on former UFO community regulars Dr. Rima Laibow and her husband, Ret. Gen. Bert Stubblebine, who are currently making all the noise they can in the anti-vax movement. The post last year explored Laibow's citation of a source, the Wyoming Institute of Technology (WIT), for rather extraordinary information contained in an article she published July 7. WIT, as its acronym suggests, turned out to be a satirical website. The story Laibow cited was clickbait for all practical purposes, but its author no doubt appreciated the shout out.

In a similar turn of events, just last weekend a FIFA official charged with corruption took to the Internet to plead his case - and cited as supporting evidence a piece from 'The Onion', a well known satirical website. Jack Warner, one of 14 officials charged by the Justice Department, waved a printed copy of an article from 'The Onion' while proclaiming his innocence in a video. The article cast the U.S. and its international football interests in questionable and unbecoming contexts, thus Warner printed and presented the otherwise dubious information.

Back in ufology, Scott Waring published a May 25 post at 'UFO Sightings Daily' in which he cited a report of an anonymous pilot allegedly snapping a photo of what was represented as a UFO "sucking" water from a California lake. The report kicked up a discussion at UFO Casebook forum, where member SysConfig aptly pointed out some vetting was in order of the original source, a supposed newspaper titled the 'Nevada County Scooper', cited by Waring for the sensational tale. Yep, it was the 'Scooper' that broke the story.

A few clicks of the mouse later, a page was located containing the 'Scooper' terms and conditions, which included the following clarification:
This website is humorous in scope and intent. It provides fake news in a comedy setting. If you are offended, go away you worthless cretin and consider doing something else with your time rather than looking at the Internet.
Other not so subtle clues to the satirical nature of the 'Scooper' was its description of a manager, Louis "Lou" LaPlante. He helps keep the team "from spending all the profits on booze."

Satire was also apparent in the website's guidelines for acceptable use, located on the same page as the terms and conditions. The guidelines included, "Don't stalk people unless you like restraining orders," "Use good manners or we'll delete your stupid comment and ridicule your upbringing," and "Inane, obscure and/or irrelevant comments are all OK as long as you follow these rules."

As of this post, current items on the main page of the 'Scooper' include a chemtrail forecast. Also offered for reading pleasure are 'New DMV Photo System Promises Faster/More Hideous Pictures' and 'How to Roast a F------ Whole Chicken'.

When pushed on the satire issue by a reader, Waring rather incredibly replied on May 28 he was "finding a little proof of made up stories" at the 'Scooper' and he was "still looking into it." This wasn't the toughest, most time consuming investigation to conduct, folks.

Waring had submitted comments to the 'Scooper', inquiring about more details of the alleged sighting. The webmaster responded there were additional witnesses and such, and to please share the article, all of which Waring quoted in an update. This writer then submitted comments to Waring and 'UFO Sightings Daily', informing his readers the 'Scooper' was a satirical website. A link to the terms and conditions as cited above was included. The comments never appeared, but Waring did mention that the "NSA often leave comments" at his website and he will delete them when he sees them.

Apparently knowing a good thing when they see it, the 'Scooper' doubled down and published another fictional article May 27 about a pilot photographing a UFO. Waring ran with that article as well.

"The site itself does have some satire," Waring wrote, "so caution is noted here."

Good to see 'UFO Sightings Daily' practicing due caution in curating material. That's satirical.

Google Moon Shows Alien Base, says Scott Waring | VIDEO

Google Moon Shows Alien Base, says Scott Waring

A video unearthed on Google Moon this week appears to show that ET may be lurking closer than we thought - and has made an underground base on the moon.

     A video unearthed on Google Moon this week appears to show that ET may be lurking closer than we thought - and has made an underground base beneath the lunar surface.

UFO enthusiast Scott Waring was exploring the moon with the 3D software, and says, “Along the edges here there is a walled area, which tells us there is a cavity there because the wall is to keep things from falling in," Waring said.

Waring’s sighting is far from unique - his own sightings number more than 200 - and a constant stream from NASA's imagery. . . .

NASA Mum on ISS UFO!!

UFO Caught At Space Station On Live Cam  8-4-14

    Remember that classic scene in John Carpenter’s “The Thing,” where the alien shapeshifter sprouts king crab legs from the severed head of an ice station member, then scuttles off along the floor and tries to hide in a storage room? Kurt Russell manages to hose it down with a flamethrower before it can find other hosts. Ultimately, though, it's too little too late. If only the crew had been just a tad more alert a little earlier ...

Well, The Thing — or at least one of its tropes — jumped the fence at NASA’s Johnson Space Center this week and went global when a camera aboard the International Space Station apparently recorded unidentified images outside the craft. The blogger who noticed and posted — Scott Waring of Taiwan — is an old hand at combing through NASA stills and footage. At his UFO Sightings Daily website, entries are interpreted by text like “NASA Photo is proof of Apollo 20 mission,” “Buildings On Mercury in NASA Photos,” “Alien Pyramid Found On Asteroid RQ36,” and “Alien Structures On Saturn's Moon Iapetus.” For whatever reason, the mainstream media pretty much ignores these scoops.

But that all changed on Monday, when JSC’s hometown paper, the Houston Chronicle, swiveled a light onto Waring’s screengrabs of not one but two UFO encounters webcast by the ISS. In the first, allegedly from Aug. 4, Waring stated he was watching the live feed when the elongated object neared the orbiting lab, then momentarily broke away to a blue screen, which the video appears to confirm. Three days later, on Aug. 7, Waring noticed yet another sequence; in this one, the object was starlike, but much brighter. Just for the record, De Void rarely has kittens over ambiguous vids of night-sky blips, and these looked like yawners. While there was no feedback from NASA, the Chronicle reported the “online community of UFO true believers is bustling with excitement.”

And then. One day later. Tuesday. The New York Daily News. Reported a third ISS/UFO video had surfaced. In this one, four dim lights in diagonal formation are shown dimming out beyond the space station. And it’s either beneath NASA’s dignity to comment on mystery skank or nobody’s even bothered give ‘em a buzz. The Washington Times weighed in on Wedneday. Again, no NASA feedback.

By Thursday, this, well, This Thing had hopped the pond and was rousing the Brits. “Watch mystery 'flying disc' UFO spotted on NASA space webcam seconds before video stopped working,” crowed the Mirror. The Mail described “UFO enthusiasts” as “in a frenzy.”

Granted, none of the aforementioned got famous for their high-brow sobriety. But they're reaching large audiences and today, even CNN piled into the scrum. With a mixture of snark and bewilderment -- and still no NASA participation -- its online piece concluded: "Though it may seem these advanced beings have accomplished much right in our neighborhood, they haven't learned not to fly within eyeshot of a space station the size of a football field (including the end zones)."

ould the space agency have stopped The Thing from going viral? Probably not; authority-figure prophylactics ain't what they used to be. But with the MSM beginning to pile on, De Void left messages with the ISS ground-support team at JSC a few days ago. Still no reply. Which is kind of a shame because it gives sensationalist bloggers a license to dream up any kind of irresponsible headline they want.

Mystery of The Pink UFOs Explained

Pink UFO strikes again

By Jason McClellan
OpenMinds.tv

     Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Someone was browsing on Google Earth when they noticed a pink UFO in the sky.

This has become a common occurrence in recent years, and this indicates that either Earth is being invaded by stylish extraterrestrials, or, the more likely explanation, people continue to be fooled by common lens flare.

The latest pink UFO sighting was discovered in Trout Creek, Montana on Google Earth by a guy in Newfoundland who then informed a guy in Taiwan. Are you following this? So here’s where this particular pink UFO sighting gets a little more bizarre than others. The Google Earth image apparently shows a carefree alien with the top down and the wind in his or her hair.

The individual who claims this discovery is, of course, Scott Waring of the sensationalistic website UFOSightingsDaily.com. He posted a video to his YouTube channel to explain how to see this convertible UFO and its driver on Google Earth. He describes in the video’s description:


. . . People all over the world have detected UFOs using Google Earth and the Street View feature of Google Maps practically since the service was launched in 2007. Back in 2012, photo-video analyst Marc D’Antonio told Huffington Post journalist Lee Speigel that he believes these pink UFOs are simply lens flare resulting from the camera’s location in relation to the sun’s position. And that is demonstrated in the following video:
