Thought: What if they did find something?

Television today is full of shows themed around the unexplained. Ghost Hunters, Destination Truth, UFO Hunters, Mysteryquest, and Monsterquest and countless other series and specials. With all these shows out there though, one is bound to eventually come across what they are searching for, but that would then leave one big question: what would they do if they did find something?

Ghost shows probably wouldn't have to do much, most people will probably pass off any ghosts as tricks or CGI, except for the people who were actually there. What about physical things like crashed UFOs or a cryptid though? Most teams on TV from what I can tell aren't equipped to capture animals or bring back large pieces debris. There is also an inherent element of risk, especially with potentially dangerous cryptids like some of the ones Destination Truth goes after. All it takes is getting to close to a angry Sasquatch, and BAM! lights out for a crewman and most likely goodbye show.

Assuming that a team somehow does get the evidence of a lifetime, I'm pretty sure the producers of the show would have no problem handling the media bandwagon that would follow. After all, that is their primary job to begin with. The best part is that it probably wouldn't turn out like the Bigfoot costume in a freezer guys.

I am still alive!

Ok it's been 10 days since my last post so I just wanted everyone to know that I'm still alive and "The Realm" will have a new post soon. Been very busy outside of the blogosphere, so I've had little time to even come up with blog subjects.

More Oregon UFOs...

Well I've barely been on the web at all this week and I have a lot to catch up on and it would also seem that perhaps the UFO wave may still be happening. Indeed one the first things that caught my eye was a post over at the Oregon MUFON page about a boomerang shaped UFO seen over highway 26 by North Plains. Annoyingly North Plains is just right up the road from me and I didn't see anything that night.

Now always keeping a clear mind on these subjects, I have to theorize that this boomerang shaped craft was more likely a plane heading into he Hillsboro airport. The area of the sighting happened to be right in an area where the flight paths for the airport lie and sometimes plane lights at night do look oddly boomerang like.

Tossing that thought aside, I decided to search the MUFON UFO report database again today and found that we're barely even halfway through the month and they already have a decent amount of reports. In fact I found more today then this time last month which means we may be in for another active month...I certainly hope so...I also hope I get to see one again, but I digress...

Oregon UFO October Roundup

Well it seems that the jump in UFO activity here in Oregon subsided a bit during October. The search of the MUFON Sigthting Database reveals less the half of what was seen in September. Also I received zero reports personally this month. Yet while the activity seems to have died down, that doesn't mean there were not any interesting reports out there.

The first one of the month, which I posted about, apparently involved multiple eyewitnesses at a night club in Portland, Oregon. The object itself can probably be described as your classic triangular UFO and the one witness who did come forward made a computer animation what he saw (can be viewed here). Then there was another sighting that was posted to both MUFON, and The UFO Clearinghouse, which I found out about thanks to The Interstellar Housewife.

Finally there was an interesting incident which possibly involved several conventional (man made, possibly military) aircraft observing a hovering, unknown, square/multisided object, with multicolored lights . The total length of the sighting, according to Oregon MUFON, was about 30 minutes.

As with all UFO sightings, both myself and MUFON (especially the Oregon branch) would love to hear anything else from other witnesses to these sightings. Or if you saw one or see one not related to any those mentioned go ahead and mention those because every bit evidence counts in the UFO world.
