Old and New Meet, what's up at paranormal Activities

Was just checking some stats and it was funny to see that MPL and Paranormal Activities are competing with each other for keywords lol.

Anyway, it feels like I've got my groove back, I'm starting to post more regularly again, I hope that continues.

Other than that I've been trying to get an integrated forum up and running over at PA, but for the now it's a little tricky for my understanding. I'm also slowly adding sections and features and organizing everything, also working on some graphics for the site.

I'd just like to remind everyone that I won't be posting to much to MPL from now on and if you want to follow me over to my new venture please do. You can subscribe to Paranormal Activities feed here. Also I'd just like to mention to all the bloggers and webmasters who visit MPL that you add your site/blog the PAs paranormal directory, you don't have to return the favor at all.

Well to finish off below are the latest blog entries over at Pa, just click on the thumbnail image to be taken over.

More than one Yowie in the photo?

Just having a little fun, no disrespect intended. Regarding the actual part of the photo that's supposed to be real, I really can't make heads or tales of it.

It's hard to Photograph UFOs

Well I was outside yesterday relaxing out in the last of the summer sun, had my camera in hand. I had wanted to take a photo of a contrail, but I had to recharge my batteries and this is all I got, not in its prime but they're always around here, I think planes begin their approach to Wellington airport over where I live.


Unhappy with not being prepared, I just sat outside watching the skies when it dawned on me how prepared really was I if I did actually get the chance to photograph or film something strange in the sky.

Luckily there's no shortage of planes flying about over where I live, so I started trying to capture them with my camera.


In the hour and a bit I was out there five planes flew by and that's the best shot I got, fully zoomed in with no reference points to help me, it's bloody hard. I know that with more practice I'll get better and I think planes are the perfect thing to practice on.

I have a whole new appreciation for blurred photos and shaky footage now, fully zoomed in on a moving object, only the best tripod will help, taking photos of the moon was hard enough.

Identifying Manipulated Images

There's so much faked material appearing online theses days that's becoming hard to keep up with it all, I'm getting suckered more and more. I guess it was invevitable that people would be exploring measures to help identify fakes easier and faster, only problem is they seem to be a little while off, well to me and you that is.

You can read all about Identifying Manipulated Images here, good read.

One downside I can see happening is that it could force people to make better fakes.

Photo of UFO in London, a speedometer?

Cool looking UFO photo, shot by a student taking tourist shots in London. You can see the photo and get the full story here, I don't know what that sites retention is like so here's an alternative link to the photo on Phantoms and Monsters.

The article mentions that experts feel it's genuine, but they seem to come from the angle that it's not fabricated or a hoax. If you look at the circumstances the photos were taken in maybe it could be a little simpler, taken from a car, were they shot through glass? and could it be a reflection?, to me the UFO looks like an illuminated speedometer reflecting off glass.

But hey, I think there's a couple more photos from this person, so who knows.

Update: here's a great analysis of the photo, even compares it with photos of speedometers.

A refreshing non paranormal weekend

Had myself a great weekend under the sun by the local rivers and beaches, well Sunday was sunny, Saturday was a little overcast, still hot though. I think it was just what I needed, two days off in a row to call my own.

Got a few photos of my weekend, hope y'all like.

It can fly to

I hope this falls under Parody.

Strange Creature found in Russia.

Teenage Alien Angst

What if Earth were the Alien equivalent of the haunted house across town where the creepy cat lady lived, what if they were nothing more than teenage Aliens with angst and a fancy for causing a ruckus. The signs are there, lets explore.

• UFOs travel really really fast, so do pimped out cars.
• UFOs are stylish with a certain amount of bling factor, so are pimped out cars.
• UFOs crash sometimes, so do boy racers.
• They must have some connections because the crashes are covered up pretty well, just like boy racers with well off parents.
• UFOs appear high in the sky, boy racers just high.
• Aliens seem shy, so do most teenage humans.
• Nobody knows where aliens come from or what they're doing, same can be said about human teens.
• They are prone to sporadic bouts of revealing themselves, human teens are prone to spontaneous bouts of showing off.
• We all know about aliens and probes, teenagers find that funny to.
• Aliens like to mess with cows, ever heard of cow tipping, it's a popular rural pass time here on Earth.

From the list above we can begin to paint a picture, aliens could have to much time on their hands, with no sense of real purpose apart from the desire to seek out cheap thrills and to live in the moment.

Earth could be that creepy place where the strange creatures live, a place full of possible mischief, without consequences that is only visited every now and then mainly because it's kind of out of the way and off the main circuit. Flying around like your a rally car driver on the perfect road without a care in the world, stopping off to tip some cows (cattle mutilations and you know how humans love to wear dead animals) and maybe even that door knocking at the haunted house leaving a bag of flaming poop on the porch (sleep paralysis, abduction and probes).

In the end leaving earth with tales to tell, a few trophies and bragging rights. But you know they'll be back because some other teenage alien will definitely want to top the other.

Please take the above with a huge grain of salt.

Strange Creature found in Russia

What could this mysterious Creature found in Russia be?

I first found out about the images here, great forum, my first impressions also were of a Horseshoe Crab, though it looks like they've found out what it is, a Triop.

If you check out the first link it is said the creature in these photos measured around 5 feet in length and a lot of the other places I have seen the images claim similar large sizes and varying stories as to its origin. If you really look at the pictures though you can see that it is tiny.

Anyway bought back fears of face huggers for me.

O'Hare UFO Photos Help

Does anyone know if these images are genuine photos from the O'Hare UFO incident from last year.

Here's the link to the blog post which has a few photos of a craft over an airport, the post is talking about the recent National Press Club, UFO conference.

I feel I've seen the photos before, but it has been hard to track them down to a source that talks more about them, probably photoshoped or something.

UFOs over the Lunar Eclipse

The image above was inspired by a photo taken that had a strange line of lights just above the moon, the following is a link to the real photo of the lunar eclipse, sent in by your average Joe taking pictures of the event, I didn't notice anything unusual when I was watching the eclipse, but hey half the world could see it at different times.

I find it hard to analyze photos, so I wont with this one, it's a lot easier looking for clues in videos, a picture is worth a thousand words and videos have many.

The photo reminded me of lights on the edge of a huge craft so that's how I went about making the image above.

I did get some Lunar Eclipse Photos

The weather cleared up a little and I managed to get some photos of the Lunar Eclipse before the clouds rolled in. I spent a good half an hour watching as the white light of the moon disappeared and a deep red took over. Took loads of photos and some video, the videos are kind of stank, can't use digital zoom in video mode.

Just popped over to Bob's Blog and he's been busy getting some images of the eclipse as well, beautiful shots.

Anyway here's some photos of the eclipse.







The colors may differ from photo to photo, I was using different exposure times to try and get the best results possible, I also used digital zoom along with optical, maybe be a little grainy.
