Planes, waves, earthquakes and alien life

Everyone’s still amazed and relieved after the “miraculous, heroic” crash landing of US Airways flight 1549 in the Hudson river today. All 155 people on board are safe. Already a few interesting comments, one from Collaborate with Fate on the astrological resonance to 9/11, and some cool synchs from Thuther over at Conspiracy Grimoire, who points out it was quite a day today in many respects, including news of life on Mars. [UPDATE: The Secret Sun on The Deep Semiotics of Flight 1549]  Let’s keep in mind we are just days away from an historical inauguration (under unprecedented “police state” security: check out Obama’s new ride also announced today, appropriately nicknamed ‘the Beast‘).

A 7.3 earthquake shook the Kuril islands today spurring tsunami warnings in the Pacific, and a 6.8 hit down in the Loyalty islands. A 3.8 earthquake was confirmed near the Idaho-Wyoming border, which shook a few nerves there. While it was not big enough to cause any damage, this tremor was noticeable due to the flurry of earthquakes near and around the Yellowstone region the past couple of weeks, where lurks a dozing supervolcano which has overslept.

Here in Hawaii a large storm front is bringing gusty winds and very high surf. Many schools have closed for tomorrow in anticipation, and rumors are government offices will also be closed. Check out this awesome Local Swell Tracker for Hawaii at SNN, the Surf News Network. BIG waves coming, but so far, unruly Kona winds have knocked out the big-wave surfing competitions that are always hoped for.

Also, I just had to mention the bizarre UFO news story that has popped up in the mainstream media recently, of the wind turbine in the UK having been damaged by a strange jellyfish UFO, according to witnesses in the area. From a New York Times blog: Do Space Aliens Dislike Wind Power, or Are They Just Clumsy? How about a secret Russian connection? One researcher suggests the ‘tentacles’ were plasma beams from an exotic propulsion system. WTF?

Who knows. Our world may be a giant hologram anyway. Want to unplug? Check in with Neil Kramer and his Way of the Infinite Warrior, if you’ve not yet done so. His new article, Mandalas in the Ultrasoup, continues to provide guidance on ‘imagineering’ our way out of the control system.

RIP Dr. Thomas C. Van Flandern, an amazing scientist who among other great works during his life was known for having been outspoken about his theories regarding a 10^th planet, Planet X.
