Delay Posting New Post Due to Penelope (Penny)

 I had hoped to have finished and posted the blog article that was promised, but due to circumstances of personal importance I had to put it on the back burner.

Last Sunday, St Patrick's Day, I had my 16-year-old dachshund Penny put down.  I had been doing hospice care for the last month as Cushing's disease and old age was taking a rapid course. This was the social contract as this was the least that I could do for her loyalty to the family.  

She was a lovely lady.  She provided joy and comfort to me and the rest of the family.  She is sorely missed by all, especially by my remaining three dachshunds.  I picked up her cremains today and placed them in an urn that my wife had ordered last Sunday.

Penny was the alpha, inherited by the passing of my 16 y/o dachshund Callie back in 2015.  She was the most benevolent of alphas.  With three younger dogs she had a knack for breaking up any trouble brewing amongst them.  She simply would post her body between them thus avoiding any fights.

I could go on and on about her but the placard on her urn speaks volumes, "The Best Dog Ever."  It's the truth as I've owned the breed for over forty years, and I have never witnessed such a kind and loving soul. What's somewhat heartbreaking for me is that I will probably never have such a dog for the remainder of my life.

So, a new alpha is in charge, Lilly, my 13-year-old.  May she live up to her sister's reputation.

I'll start back on the new article soon.

I Have Something Coming Down the Pike

 The title of this post says it all.  In a couple of weeks, I'll have something other than a Merry Christmas or Happy New Year.  In the past I've attempted, feebly it seems, to explain why this blog has been static with excuses that I 've grown bored with the subject of UFOs, family obligations, and being busy at work.  All of them were true at the time.  Add to the mix, real retirement and a big relocation from California to Idaho.  That took a full year to plan and execute, but I did it.  I'm still unpacking but I've made a dent into it.

So, with that said, I'm ready to start posting.  I plan to have a post that deals with UFO disclosure, government machinations and the perception of the general public.  It will be a supposition that is based on a philosophical hypothesis.  Laughingly, not my hypothesis, but one from a well-known, still living, philosopher.  We'll all take a trip into the future.

When you read the post, keep in mind that I'm just like you, normal and average intellect.  I've the typical educational background.  I break no real ground, but rely on the thoughts of those much more knowledgeable than I.  Yet, I have ideas that formulate.  I dwell on subjects.  Sometimes nonstop, yet I toss these ideas around.  I rely on my knack for analyzing...shaking the box, if you will.  For twenty years, I was paid to observe and to document and I'm pretty decent at that.  So, I'll put that to the test in some sense of the word.

I'll see you in a few weeks.

2023...Merry Christmas and Wishing All a Happy New Year!

I wanted to take the opportunity to wish all a Merry Christmas, or if you wish a Happy Holidays...I'll not judge.

A brief update.  The blog site is doing well as far as a static platform as readership has been doing well.  Plus, I retired recently and moved from Southern California for the cooler confines of Idaho.  Personally, it has been a daunting past six months to pull this off.

As far as UFOs/UAPs...take your pick...I've had to divorce myself from the topic for obvious reasons due to the necessary events of retirement and selling my previous home with the added stress of physically moving from California to Idaho.  In short, it was a bitch, yet I survived the ordeal.

Once I get all of the boxes unpacked, I hope to get back to blogging as I should have the needed time on my hands.  Again, thanks to all who have visited the site.

Where is Tim Hebert? A Question From The Comment Section: UFO and Nukes.

A recent comment from my last post:

 "The new UAP study is promoting the Nuke-UFO hoaxes again! Where's James Carlson and Tim Hebert when we need them? Your research is hardly known at all while the military disinfo lies are now accepted as "rock hard" truth on the interwebs. Ah the religious fantasies.."

Not quite understanding the last sentence.  Upset that I threw out a couple of verses from Esiah for a little uplifting for the Christmas holidays?

Can't say about James Carlson, but I believe that I said/wrote my peace regarding my opinions concerning UFO and nukes, ie nuclear weapons.  Nothing has changed on that front.

I get the angst regarding the UAP study, but personally I left that subject for those that have the time and energy to tackle it.  Robert Scheaffer at Bad UFOs has been doing a great job covering the subject.

My meager personal thought is that by substituting the term UAP for UFO the government is using this as a pretext to look into technology being used by foreign government interests as well as organized criminal elements.  Yet they may very well be interested in UFOs of olden times complete with the ET trimmings.

In short, I really don't know.  I tend to look at the reality that I am confronted with on a daily basis.  I'm more concerned with state and federal governmental overreach that has been on display for the past two years.  Personal freedom is more important to me than government agencies feigning to be looking into UFOs/UAPs.

"Your research is hardly known" Well, I did my best, but there is good news on that front.  The viewership of the blog has been very positive.  I don't post as frequently as I used to but that has not stopped people from viewing my work.

Currently total views is 242,000.  For the past 6 months I've averaged well over 6000 views, that's 1000 per month.  Again, not bad for a site that I've basically left up for those interested in looking at my past work, research and humble conclusions.  One can take from it what one will...free to disagree if one wants.  All that I ever asked was that my work be given due consideration.

Let's look at the last three months of activity on this blog:

Did UFOs Disable Minute Man Missiles at Malmstrom AFB in 1967...32 views and a total of 12.900 views since published back in Nov 2010.

Oscar Flight...36 views with overall views of 959.

2010 FE Warren posts...14 views...grand total of 897 views.

UFO ICBM/Nuke Connection:  Does it Really Exist...9 views.

Thats just for the last three months regarding core UFO and Nukes blog posts.  This does not touch on the numerous supporting posts for various principals involved in the numerous cases. 

The total of the late David Schuur Minot AFB UFO encounter has been viewed separately 1.85K times.  Again, this being another post going back to 2010.

"Did It Really Happen" has been cited in numerous blog and web sites.  Some supportive, some not so.  My theories and conclusions have been circulating...what more can I do?

James Carlson and I did an interview with NY Post reporter Steven Greenstreet back in November 2021 regarding Echo, Oscar and other related UFO and nukes stories.  As of yet, no release of the interviews on his pod cast.  Why so long?  I've no answer to that question.

So, my work is still be looked at.  My current views have not changed, but that can happen if new details emerge in the future.  One current theme being circulating about the internet asks the question...do past UFO cases offer any real tangible answers to the reality of UFOs.  UAPs is a different animal...its malleable, it can be beaten into any shape or form based on today's current technology.

The Passing of Eric Carlson




I received news from James Carlson that his father Eric Carlson passed on Aug 8, 2021 at the age of 84. Most of the readers that frequent this site are aware that Capt Carlson was the crew commander at Echo Flight during the all-flight missile shutdown event on 16 March 1967.  I'll not rehash the details, but those interested can use the blog's search system to find the various posts listing Eric Carlson.

James was kind enough to provide a summary of his father's career. "As his military career went, he started out enlisted and worked his way up to officer eventually CAPT. as a missileer. During the latter part of his military career, he served in Okinawa with the 498 TMG, then Thailand and S. Korea. I'm not positive what commands he served at in Thailand and S. Korea, as we were living in Louisiana at the time -- they were unaccompanied tours..."

Of historical note, Capt Carlson was a crew member assigned to the 10th Strategic Missile Squadron, the first operational Minuteman ICBM missile squadron.  The 10th's Alpha Flight was JFK's "Ace in the Hole" during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, thus earning the squadron moniker, "The First Ace in the Hole."

James further added, "Upon retiring, he went back to school to get his degree, and became a psychologist.  He eventually worked as a counselor for violent men, later retiring from his second career."

I want to again, extend my heartfelt condolences to James and his family.

Cold Cases!

 I've been thinking this over for the past week, re-looking at certain cases.  I know that the old UFO case seem rather...old, but they are still interesting none the less.  The Navy, Tic-tac's and the Pentagon's past and current UFO...excuse me...UAP interest dominates the current discussions, but I'm not interested in that area.  What is it?  Oh, yes, Back to the Future.  We had Project Blue Book in the past only for it to "succumb" to the government's desire to get out of the UFO business.  Now we all are finding out that the UFO/UAP business was doing well all along...this time business being done under the table.  Oh well, c'est la vie!   

So on with the show.  Projects upcoming when ever that is or promises made, promises broken.

1.  Re-looking at Robert Salas Oscar Flight claims.  Yes, I heard a collective groan from what's left of my readership.  I watched the last National Press Club presentation this past Tuesday and was taken back at the sparse participation as compared to 2010.  As Salas stated in his opening remarks some could not make it this time around and some have passed on.  I have a soft spot for old crew dogs regardless of what I written in this blog.

I'm attempting to reach out to Mr. Salas and will see how that goes.  This will allow me to bring in the 1967 Belt, Mt UFO sighting which I've been woefully negligent by not giving this particular case it's due consideration as it happened on the same day that Mr. Salas says that his flight (Oscar) lost strategic alert status due to UFOs or something else.  Project Blue Book investigated this incident, or at a minimum information was sent to them via the base UFO officer, LtCol Lewis Chase.  I'm going to see if this old crew dog can drag this case across the finish line.  Well, I'll try to advance it as far as I can. Certainly nothing to lose. Who knows, I might get a participation trophy for my efforts.  

2.  David Schindele has an interesting observation/story circa September of 1966 while on the crew force at Minot AFB, ND.  This is very similar to that of the late David Schuur's observation roughly about the same time while on alert at Minot, AFB.  There is a PBB investigation that occurred roughly during the same timeframe.  This should be interesting.

3.  This one is no big deal, but it was a bone that I attempted to provide to Robert Hastings some years back, but as is/was his custom he became a self righteous ass hole so I kept it from him.  As to his last comment about me via an article of his and I paraphrase, "Tim, I have 150 former military members that say differently than you and they are brave enough to..."  Well, I kept two observations from two highly respected former Ellsworth AFB missile wing FSCs that I was well acquainted with...Robert could have had 152... 

These two guys were with me back at Vandenberg AFB in the same missile crew training class, ILCS-26 back in the latter end of 1980.  Both were assigned to Malmstrom with me but in different squadrons.  They might corroborate some of the Minuteman Ellsworth AFB, SD UFO sightings around 1974. 

4.  And finally, I will redo the 1968 Minot case.  I'm starting from scratch as the last effort was a piss poor effort for my part.  My work will be done in silence and will only be posted when completely done to my satisfaction...let me repeat...my satisfaction.  I will provide no updates.  No more distractions this time.  I had a sound methodology last time but I deviated, no, worse, I took a detour and wound up way off the beaten path slowly drifting with a blown gasket up to some off the road version of a dilapidated Stuckeys selling crappy trinkets.  Not this time.

And when I'm done:

a.  One third of you will praise my brilliance and temerity.  Tim Hebert is the "bringer of clarity!"

b.  One third of you will say, "meh, he gave it a shot."

c. One third of you will clutch your fake pearls aghast at my efforts.  "My God, Tim Hebert is stating that witness lied and that they were dopers taking hits from bongs while watching UFOs in the nights sky.  And worse he alluded that they beat their dogs when they returned to base."  Yet it will all be self pleasuring rubbish.  No one will be branded as liars.  All will be taken at face value and treated with respect. They all witnessed something.  That is a fact.  Yet the Greek chorus will sing on and on as they are the keepers of truth.

Until next time...
