This post appeared in the Daily Mail today. In light of the info we have had on this particular planet, could this possibly mean some kind of intelligent life is out there?

An astronomer picked up a mysterious pulse of light coming from the direction of the newly discovered Earth-like planet almost two years ago, it has emerged.

Dr Ragbir Bhathal, a scientist at the University of Western Sydney, picked up the odd signal in December 2008, long before it was announced that the star Gliese 581 has habitable planets in orbit around it.

A member of the Australian chapter of SETI, the organisation that looks for communication from distant planets, Dr Bhathal had been sweeping the skies when he discovered a ‘suspicious’ signal from an area of the galaxy that holds the newly-discovered Gliese 581g.

His discovery had come just months before astronomers had announced that they had found a similar, slightly less habitable planet around the same star 20 light years away. This planet was called Gliese 581e.

I am sure many people will be looking towards Gliese 581 in the coming months and years. Who knows, perhaps we will see some other mysterious lights up there.

Here is a prime example of my rant the other day (Can we Trust a WhistleBlower):

Popular Internet radio broadcaster Jerry Pippin based in Muskogee, Oklahoma, stunned his worldwide audience on Saturday, September 25, 2010 when he featured researcher Anthony Sanchez who, for the first time ever, revealed to the public the official government/military name for the much-rumored, alleged underground installation in Dulce, New Mexico.

Sanchez disclosed the complete name of the installation as: “Rio Arriba Scientific & Technological Underground Auxiliary”.

He stated that this information came to him directly from a retired Air Force Colonel in January of 2010 when the Colonel invited him for an private interview in his cabin in California.

This is exactly the sort of nonsense that I was talking about!

Here are my questions and thoughts about this:

1) Who is this mysterious Colonel? Why does he remain anonymous when so many of his colleagues have just recently come forward? Isn’t it convenient that he cuts off all ties just as the book is released.

2) Who benefits from this supposed “whistleblower”? The answer is very clear: Anthony Sanchez who has written a book about this and wishes to drum up sales.

3) Is there ANY shred of evidence that this Colonel exists? Is there any evidence that if this man exists, he is actually a real Colonel and actually worked in a position to know?

There are many more questions, but I am 100% sure that if pressed, Anthony Sanchez will direct you to his book for answers.

Why does the UFO community give this “whistleblower evidence” any credence or coverage at all?

I challenge Anthony Sanchez to reveal his ‘source’ and I challenge the ‘Colonel’, if he exists, to reveal himself like his brave colleagues have recently done in Leslie Kean’s book.

In Leslie’s book, the whistleblowers are named and their credentials verified. They also appeared before the national and international press to tell their stories.

Credibility Rating:

Anthony Sanchez: 0%
Leslie Kean: 100%

How does one discover that they have a talent like this? By accident, or consciously?

Electro Man from “Stan Lee’s Superhumans,” whose real name is Rajmohan Nair, is able to withstand huge amounts of electricity flowing through his body, without suffering any apparent damage.

Just 1/10 of an amp can kill an ordinary person, but the show witnesses Nair passing more than 30 TIMES that amount through his body and emerging completely unscathed.

Check it out here:

A major earthquake will strike California on Thursday, causing major damage and likely to cause tsunami’s … or so says the website Quake Prediction.

When this was first announced on the site, which is not recognized in any way by the US Geological Survey, it went viral on Twitter. It spread so fast that even the debunking website, Snopes has written an article about it.

The Southern California Earthquake Center and the USGS have both issued statements saying that scientists can not yet predict earthquakes in advance and that neither organization has ever made a prediction.

It is unclear how the author claims to get the information about possible quakes, but it will be interesting to see whether he has access to information that mainstream scientists do not.
