/ufo/ - Paranormal and Conspiracies

So a buddy of mine works as a security contractor—Mall Cop or Night Watchmen tier stuff. Anyways, he's a Socialist, has a pretty materialist worldview, and has been a skeptic of most idealistic woo-woo for as long as I've known him.

Recently he's been experiencing some genuinely creepy stuff in one of the locations he's been assigned to, and apparently some of his coworkers have too. It started off with weird one-off occurrences: hearing footsteps running behind him only to turn around and see nothing there, hearing doors slamming open and closed on the floor above him, getting an experience of someone breathing behind him. Recently it's gotten a lot worse. He's experienced some strange hallucinations: a black dog running across his path and disappearing into a wall, figures looming over his shoulder or peaking at him from behind corners, and even strange figures staring at him from behind second-story windows. It's spooky stuff, he can't explain it, and neither can I. Not helping things are the weird occult graffiti at his workplace: pentagrams and stuff.

Everything from Ghost Hunting to Occult Philosophy has been a guilty pleasure of mine. And seeing as we don't have a thread on sp00ky shit, I figure I might as well make one.

Consider this the start of the /x/-files! A place to push the boundaries of Socialism to the outer limits of the universe. Everything from Ghosts to ESP to Magic or Cryptids and what their impact on the Socialist movement could be. Questions like:

>Do AyyLmaos exist and are they Comrades?
>Can we summon the specters of dead Revolutionaries for advice?
>Are the Bourgeoisie literally Demons?
>Can Occult rituals stir the global proletariat to action?
And so many more.

>Putin explaining Russians why he plans to conduct on January 7th another false flag (as he did in 1999) apartment bombings to blame Ukrainians for them (previously he blamed Chechens in 1999).

In this thread we are going to comment events if that actually happens (bombings, not Putin explaining to Russians why he conducted them).

Grandfather used to tell folk stories.I remember one where there was this old protestant house on the hill, every night the apples used to disappear off the tree and reappear in the morning.

The other was he and some friends were coming home from a dance and they saw a light in the sky following them, the light stopped when they passed over a river.The next day one of the friends died.Basically angel of death.

What signals are currently emitted by your bioelectric field? What transmissions originate from your bioelectric field? My broadcast is pure rape energy which weirdly gets bitches hooked. What signal's your biofield on?

epstein indirectly most likely through chris poole and his connections, created QAnon to keep in power, keep trump in power and divide the american people.
i also believe a lot of the modern online right was created for similar reasons.

>Many different short-lived actinide elements, namely, actinium, protactinium, neptunium, plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium, californium, and einsteinium have been reported in the absorption spectrum.[25][26] Radioactive elements have also been reported to include technetium and promethium.[25][27] While the longest-lived known isotopes of technetium have half-lives in the millions of years, the longest-lived known promethium isotope has a half-life of only 17.7 years. The presence of these elements in the stellar atmosphere would imply some process constantly replenishing it.
Where does this star get elements that we have to create in a lab, and in such abundance that we can detect them from 356 light-years away? And why not take a closer look at this with JWST?

>Przybylski's star has occasionally attracted attention as a SETI candidate[33] insofar as it aligns with speculation that a technological species may salt the photosphere of its star with unusual elements, either to signal its presence to other civilizations[34][35] or to dispose of nuclear waste.[36]

I've never been able to believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life, but horny extraterrestrial life… I think about it all the time. If aliens come to Earth, they'll probably want to do a lot of sex with us because of the long journey.

Would you do an alien if she was easy? What would turn you off?

Does this shit actually work? I just wrote it, and then burned the note using a matchstick, it was 3PM though, not 3AM. Anybody with any previous experience? Any favorite deities?

MIT engineers fly first-ever plane with no moving parts

>The silent, lightweight aircraft doesn’t depend on fossil fuels.

>Since the first airplane took flight over 100 years ago, virtually every aircraft in the sky has flown with the help of moving parts such as propellers, turbine blades, or fans that produce a persistent, whining buzz.

>Now MIT engineers have built and flown the first-ever plane with no moving parts. Instead of propellers or turbines, the light aircraft is powered by an “ionic wind” — a silent but mighty flow of ions that is produced aboard the plane, and that generates enough thrust to propel the plane over a sustained, steady flight.

>Unlike turbine-powered planes, the aircraft does not depend on fossil fuels to fly. And unlike propeller-driven drones, the new design is completely silent.

>“This is the first-ever sustained flight of a plane with no moving parts in the propulsion system,” says Steven Barrett, associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT. “This has potentially opened new and unexplored possibilities for aircraft which are quieter, mechanically simpler, and do not emit combustion emissions.”

>He expects that in the near-term, such ion wind propulsion systems could be used to fly less noisy drones. Further out, he envisions ion propulsion paired with more conventional combustion systems to create more fuel-efficient, hybrid passenger planes and other large aircraft.

>Barrett and his team at MIT have published their results today in the journal Nature.

“On December 29, 1953, an unidentified flying object was spotted in the sky over the city of Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia. Renowned photographer Barney Wayne took a photograph of the sighting.” In this intriguing cityscape, the UFO hovers above the Rebellion Memorial in Main Street, Bulawayo, which was constructed in 1900 and the Gardner Gun placed atop in 1906 and removed in 1979.
Barney Wayne, the director of a photographic studio, snapped this saucer-shaped UFO in Bulawayo, South Rhodesia, on December 29, 1953. The photograph was featured in France's weekly magazine 'Moustique' #1508 on December 19, 1954, gracing page 15.
