So basically when they fail to show, they were really just hiding behind the clouds?

Dude,
Did you check out her website? She does intuitive readings. That's like tarot without having to buy the deck. She a recording artist and loonier than a bedbug.

Oh my Goddess! It is far worse accoding to her bio she is a:
  • Angelic/UFO Contactee
  • Transformational Therapist
  • Certfied Clinical Hypnotherapist
  • Clairaudient/Clairsentient Intuitive
  • Licensed Massage Therapist
  • Guest Lecturer
  • Recording Artist


If that is her singing on the vidoe that you can download from her site, and it is any indication of her other talents I would not worry to much about any UFO's over Salt Lake City.

Why don't those aliens or deitys never appear to sane and credible people?

On the onther hand if something appears over the olympic games, you can be sure of two things.

1. Uri Geller will see it on TV and claim to have caused it.

2. People in military uniforms with explicit orders regarding unidentified aircrafts that should not be anywhere near possible terrorism targets will act accordingly.

Wich brings us to the conclusion, that Uri Geller wil start an interstellar war. I hope she is wrong.

Wow! I'm not sure if this lady is trying to get an invitation to the Letterman Show, she's completely lost it, or she's the world's most naive dreamer, but I had a great time with her photos.

For one thing, 'merkabah' must really mean, "Oh, damn! I should have learned my lesson about buying cheap, off brand lenses, and leaving my lens hood at home with my cleaning cloth." She says it isn't lens flare, and I'm really Howard Hughs' only real heir! How stupid does she think we are? The entire image is degraded by flare, and the lens is obviously uncoated, and cheaply made. My guess would be a low end Vivitar medium zoom, or the camera is a thirty dollar point and shoot. Plus, the mid day sun is just above and right of each 'merkabah' shot.

Now, for the first two angel shots; the pillars are a result of the same lens, but these shots show what happens when you actually get that tricky little sun in the shot.

The shot that accompanies her head shot on the first page shows what happens if you screw up and take an accidental picture of glare on the surface of her lake in Utah, and then put the photo in a photo editing program and change the background color. You get...ah,...something!

The UFO pics...Well, they speak for themselves, or should I say they don't speak for themselves. In the words or title of Shakespeare, it's "Much Ado About Nothing"


As far as the rest of the photos go, she may want to know that a whole lot of cameras have little buttons on them that release the film advance so you can take multiple exposures. Like, nobody's been to the Space Needle! And, I'm a 87 year old pregnant father, and a virgin to boot! Somebody's sure as hell been to the Space Needle, unless some little vixen of an alien or an angel that is supposed to have caused the image to appear, has a fettish for phallic buildings. Man, there's at least three exposures in that shot.


I wonder if anyone buys her nonsense. The woman is nuts. Either she really believes her crap, and her medication is wearing off, or she thinks it is great hoax work, in which case her medication wore off long ago.

Sobriety is a bitch!

Ah well, I've heard nothing about UFOs visiting the Olympics on the predicted date, so I must assume their ships have a cloaking device. Very clever. And sneaky.

On the other hand, perhaps they are boycotting it due to, hell, I dunno. Something political, probably.

And on the third hand......CODSWALLOP!!

Uh, yeah, sorry guys, they crashed my house party and couldn't make it to the Olympics.

*Xev surveys the mess*

Sigh, this is worse than when Cthulu showed up and ate half the guests. At least there wasn't much to clean up.

Yeah right, you'd probably book as soon as you came to.

I mean, work and dealing with hungover Centurians* all day.

But they managed to convince** me to throw another on Saturday night.

So, you are all invited.

*Yeah, it's a star, not a planet. So shoot me.

[b]Excellent point![/i]

In the recent confrontation between India and Pakistan over Kashmir, President Bush and Prime Minister Blair sent diplomats to the leaders of India and Pakistan. They did not send their diplomats to some nobodies in out-of-the-way places in those two countries, and then wonder why the message didn't get through.

A "real" god or alien would have contacted our leaders [b]directly{/b]. That means go right up to them and talk to them as if one was one of their colleagues.
