 <title>Spectacular video, either real or a finely crafted hoax.</title>

        &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
 When your Out There editor took a look at this video, I assumed &#039;hoax.&#039; But then I noticed that none of the usual easily identified signs of an amateur CGI job were present, so I was intrigued enough to send it to one of our video experts, who was intrigued. My conclusion: I still think it&#039;s probably&amp;nbsp;CGI, but it is very well done. Our special effects expert is not so sure. This is his reaction:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It has old style stars and bars on the hull. We do still use them but&lt;br /&gt;
usually they are grey. Why our Air force would be so dumb to plant those&lt;br /&gt;
on the hull is beyond me. Still the composite work is amazing. Very well done &lt;br /&gt;
if it is composite work. Additionally the lighting match is perfect as is the density &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.unknowncountry.com/out-there/spectacular-video-either-real-or-finely-crafted-hoax&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Awakening the Planetary Mind</title>

Here, with Whitley Strieber, she tells us what this past civilization was actually like, and what we have lost.&amp;nbsp;But then she goes deeper, explaining how there are new dimensions of consciousness opening within us, and how we can actually regain the level of consciousness that we lost during the catastrophe. &lt;br /&gt;

 <title>Why all the End of the World Fears? Could it be that Something GOOD is Coming?</title>

She tells Dreamland guest host Marie D. Jones how a series of changes that accelerated through 2011 opened many of us to new energies, while causing deep terrors left over from an extraordinary catastrophe that ravaged our planet over 10,000 years ago to emerge again in many others. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.unknowncountry.com/dreamland/why-all-end-world-fears-could-it-be-something-good-coming&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>The Science Behind Soulful Songs</title>

    &lt;div class=&quot;field-item&quot;&gt;&lt;img  class=&quot;imagefield imagefield-field_newsimage&quot; width=&quot;150&quot; height=&quot;116&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.unknowncountry.com/sites/default/files/tears_1.jpg?1329923008&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div class=&quot;field-item&quot;&gt; Why do we love &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67wnVDR-E9o&amp;amp;feature=g-upl&quot;&gt;songs that make us cry&lt;/a&gt;? The strong emotions they invoke set off a physical reaction that increases our &amp;quot;feel good&amp;quot; hormone dopamine. So even though it seems like we&#039;re unhappy, we&#039;ve never felt HAPPIER! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When psychologist John Sloboda asked people to identify the parts of songs that made them cry, he analyzed these passages and found that they all contained a musical device called an &amp;quot;appoggiatura,&amp;quot; which is a type of note that clashes with the melody just enough to create a dissonant sound. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;

 <title>Why It Suddenly Got So Cold</title>

    &lt;div class=&quot;field-item&quot;&gt; For the first half of the winter, there were &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.unknowncountry.com/news/warm-winter-kills&quot;&gt;warm temperatures and a lack of snow&lt;/a&gt;. But then all that changed: Temperatures in Europe &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.unknowncountry.com/news/end-may-be-cold-not-hot&quot;&gt;have plunged&lt;/a&gt;. It has even snowed as far south as North Africa. Now it&#039;s starting to warm up again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the NASA website, Dauna Coulter quotes NASA climatologist Bill Patzert as explaining what happened: &amp;quot;A couple of weeks ago, Mother Nature did an about face. The tight polar vortex that had bottled up the cold arctic air in the beginning of winter suddenly weakened. Cold air swept out of Siberia and invaded Europe and the Far East.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;

    &lt;div class=&quot;field-item&quot;&gt; Hundreds of dead starlings dropped from the sky in Laurel, Maryland recently. This isn&#039;t the first time &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.unknowncountry.com/news/thousands-birds-fall-sky&quot;&gt;something like this has happened&lt;/a&gt;. This time, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.unknowncountry.com/news/aflockalypse-now&quot;&gt;mass deaths &lt;/a&gt;are being blamed on everything from fireworks to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.unknowncountry.com/climatewatch&quot;&gt;bad weather&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The birds fell out of the sky onto a highway, during a weekday commute. On the local ABC News affiliate website, Brad Bell, Jason Cherkis and Stephen Teschider quote Laurel resident Ray Wheltle as saying, &amp;quot;I travel this all the time and have never seen anything like that before.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;

 <title>On Being a Cultural Christian--With an Update</title>
 <link>http://www.unknowncountry.com/diary/being-cultural-christian</link>
 <description> There are a lot of things I don&#039;t like about Los Angeles--too spread out, too hard to make friends here--but one of the things I DO like is being among so-called &amp;quot;secular Jews&amp;quot; once again. I lived with these people in New York City and I find them delightful: They don&#039;t try to &amp;quot;convert&amp;quot; you, they are interested in the arts and support them enthusiastically, and they love intellectual ideas. They&#039;re A BIT tribal (you&#039;ll always do better with them if you&#039;re Jewish too), but not too much. &lt;br /&gt;

 <description> We are reaching a point where nothing but nothing on the intnet is to be trusted.&amp;nbsp;At the same time, many extraordinary and very real things--videos, witness accounts, etc., are being posted there. It&#039;s almost as if the hoaxers are there to muddy the waters. Wonder who these creeps REALLY are??&lt;br /&gt; </description>
