Alien Lore No. 245 - Russell Crowe spots, and photographs, a UFO
By Jack Brummet, Alien Lore Ed.
Russell Crowe says he recently caught a UFO on camera. The actor told Perth Now that he saw, and photographed, several flying objects whizzing over Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens earlier this week. He uploaded a video to YouTube (see below).
"A friend and I set camera to capture fruit bats rising from Botanic Gardens. This was a big surprise,'' Crowe wrote on Twitter. He said that he was about 800 feet from the gardens when he shot the footage.
The short clip titled "UFO? Time Lapse Photos Outside RC's Woolloomooloo Office (THESE ARE REAL)" shows a number of oddly-shaped lights over the Botanic Gardens.

Asked on Twitter if the lights may have been lens flares or other natural phenomenon, Crowe said "Canon 5D, no flash, can't be lens flare because it moves, camera is fixed."
Several other film stars, celebrities and politicians have also reported seeing UFOs; President Jimmy Carter was said to have seen a UFO, as have Nation of Islam founder Louis Farrakhan, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, John Lennon, and Jackie Gleason famously reported seeing alien bodies at a secret U.S. Government facility.

Poem: Icarus
By Jack Brummet
The rings of the splash
Send dopplers
Into the void,
Stretching and pushing
Out in the cold and lonely sea.

President Hugo Chavez has left the building
By Pablo Fanque, South America Editor
Hugo Chevez es el muerto. He died after a long struggle with cancer. After his cancer recurred, he went to Cuba last December for treatment.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was probably best known in the U.S. for his rages against President George W. Bush, whom he called a "liar," "coward," "murderer" and "donkey," and "the devil." He was still extremely popular despite voting and free-speech crackdowns.
He also went after the Roman Catholic church, saying that they ignored the plight of the poor. He said that Jesus Christ would have been a socialist and that priests "do not walk in ... the path of Christ."
Chavez especially liked making friends with world leaders who had an axe to grind with the U.S., including Fidel Castro, and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Chavez was also a big fan of the late Libyan ruler Muammar Qaddafi
Adiós Señor, Presidente

Speaker John Boehner, self immolation, and the G.O.P.'s rapid slide into irrelevancy
By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Ed.
The Bone makes his sequestration face. I am not a fan, but admit I feel for him. He has tried, but is pretty much helpless while his party is hell-bent on self-immolation, not to mention relishing his humiliation every step of the way.
The Speaker thought getting Bachmann, Palin, Paul, Herman Cain, Rick Perry, et al, out of the way would help. But the instant they shuffle one whack job out the door, another wingnut steps in to fill their shoes. And that's the way I like it.

Did a UFO pull a Randy Quaid on the Siberian Meteor? (Alien Lore No. 245)
By Jack Brummet, Unexplained Phenomena Ed.
The meteorite that exploded over, and crashed into, Siberia last month (injuring at least 1,200 people), was hit by an unidentified flying object that caused it to explode over the Ural Mountains, according to some UFOlogists. [1]
This theory is based on analysis by researchers of a blurred video of the rock as it raced across the sky over Chelyabinsk, Siberia. The U.F.O. researchers claim a small 'object' can be seen colliding with the meteorite, despite the fact there were no reports of Russia launching missiles to down the celestial intruder. We know that Russia hopes to develop weapons able to destroy incoming space objects, but most [sane] people believe that that technology does not yet exist.
The theory: The Greys have something very different in mind for us, and didn't want a space rock thwarting their plans. There is a contentious debate online questioning whether Russia was “saved by a UFO.” You think the comments section on YouTube or Huffington are weird?
NASA scientists estimate the meteorite was 55 feet wide and weighed 10,000 tons. It exploded above the Ural mountains with a force equal to a 500 kiloton bomb.
“At first, we also believed that the Chelyabinsk meteorite was just an ordinary meteorite, a cosmic body,” Alexander Komanev, a spokesman for the Russian UFO community, said. “But on at least three films of the space rock you can see how an object catches the meteorite.”
In images, the object looks tiny and oblong-shaped. It “flies into it - and the meteorite explodes and falls,” ala Randy Quaid's final scene in the film Independence Day.
[1] The apparent explosion of a small meteor over Siberia early on Friday was not the first time that that part of the world has had a too-close encounter with a space rock. The region was the scene of what is believed to be the largest space-related explosion in human history, 105 years ago.
The earlier meteor explosion, known as the "Tunguska Event" happened the morning of June 30, 1908, in a forested area in central Siberia, about 1,200 miles northeast of Chelyabinsk, the Siberian city where much of the damage and injuries occurred Friday.

“Such a number of videos, made from different angles, leads us to believe that something has blown up the meteorite.”Komanev also said in the days prior to the meteorite, a number of UFOs were seen, over Chabry and over Chelyabinsk. The objects moved across the sky and disappeared, only to return later.
