If anyone has anything to add to the below or has heard other Elk County stories, please chime in.
It has been mentioned several times that Waldo Gray was the town barber, coon hunter, dog owner, etc. He also was great on donating to civic activities. He was known to grow "crops" in a miniature hole in the sidewalk in front of his shop. Over the years, he was featured in several newspaper articles including one full page spread. One story mentioned that a lot of tall tales came out of his barber shop. Once, he had me send a Howard citizen an anonymous postcard from halfway around the world saying the fish were biting big time and he ought to bring his pole. He appeared as an extra in the 1972 Jeff Bridges western movie Bad Company filmed in Severy. He always said your eyes had to be quick to see him.
Sometime in the late sixties, I went home to Missouri on leave and then came down to Howard for a visit. Waldo asked if I would like to see an evening Patriots basket ball game. I did. First, we walked down to Freddie's, next to the theater, for a hamburger. Must have been the best one I ever ate. Then we drove somewhere fairly close, Longton, I think, to watch the game.
After the game, he wanted to go fishing. We drove around Elk County stopping way out in the middle of nowhere. He said this place belonged to so and so and he would not mind. It was dark with no moon. Using a lantern, we managed to climb over a fence and walk to a good-sized pond. I was concerned about trespassing but later learned he had standing verbal rights at several places to fish and hunt.
Fish were not biting and we ended up jawing quite a bit. Out of the blue, he mentioned he had seen and was chased by a flying saucer. I was stunned, even flabbergasted, at what he was saying. I managed to steer the conversation into another topic and the flying saucer was dropped. Until his death in 2000, he never mentioned it to me again and I never brought it back up.
After he passed away, I mentioned it to my Dad. Stone faced and quite serious my Dad said it was true. He could not remember much about it but Waldo and another person ran and hid under their pickup to get away from a flying saucer.
Let's see now. Your dad and Waldo were brothers, were they not? Were they known to back each other up on stories they might tell? Is your tongue in your cheek while you are telling this?
They were brothers and I could not answer whether they backed each other up. They probably did, though but I think my father would have told me it was a joke.
I was just curious if anyone had heard about this.
My husband never told me about this one and he was pretty good about repeating Elk County stories. Maybe some of the true Elk Countians will remember. By the way, Waldo, would you correct the spelling of saucers in your heading? I can't stand mispelled words.
I don't know about what Waldo seen, but I do know what I seen in the early 70's and it was also seen by several others in in the Severy area, some south of town in Elk County. And that's all I got to say about that.
If this did not correct the spelling, someone let me know how to do it.
like that's the only mispelled word in this forum
It corrected the spelling in your last post but not in the beginning post and I don't know how to tell you to do that. Maybe someone else can.
Flo, I will tell if you will. Flo says sometime in the early 70's and she is right as to the time. Ruth Henderson was taking an evening class in Emporia and she got back to Severy about 10:00 that night. She called us and said she was seeing funny lights over Severy on her way home.(no cell phones then). My husband and Janet went out to see what was going on and couldn't really find anything. The wind was blowing funny that night and I don't know how to describe it, just funny. I found out later that there hadn't been any wind around Howard or Moline. A couple of ladies that lived south of Severy had seen what they thought was fire between their homes. Actually, they each thought maybe the other's house was on fire, but there wasn't any sign of there having been a fire in the field between them. 4th daughter was sleeping in the east bedroom upstairs in the south alcove and she saw what she thought was a train out to the south. This was after the railroad had been discontinued and might even have been torn up. It was there for a long time. There were other reports of unusual occurrences but none that I remember clear enough to relate. Maybe there is something to Uncle Waldo's story.
AND NOW, THE REST OF THE STORY
Thank you Wilma, I was afraid if I told this story, everyone would think I'd lost my marbles.
My husband at the time was working evening tower on an oil rig and I always waited up for him. About midnight I seen his lights as he pulled into the drive. He didn't come right in, but the wind had come up and thinking it was probably an approaching storm I went out to watch with him. HE WASN'T HOME YET. I immediately went back inside and locked the doors. When he came home I mentioned this to him and he just blew it off. The next morning at work (at the school) Mrs. Ruth Henderson told me this "strange" thing that happened at her house. Betty Courter was custodian at the time (she is one of the 2 ladies living south of Severy that Wilma mentioned), and she told us her story and now I know what I seen was true and not just my imagination, I'm thinking. After work I went to my in-laws who lived east of town and started to relay these stories to my father-in-law (Floyd "Red" Smith) and he stopped me abruptly and began saying "this was about midnight, light as day out, wind was blowing real hard" and I was stunned. He seen these same things. He lived just 1/2 mile south of Mrs. Henderson. Now, people, tell me that this didn't happen. This is not my only experience and I certainly do believe in UFO's and I believe Waldo's story.
With as many witnesses as we have, how can anyone discount our story? But plenty did. Ruth was seeing things. Betty Courter was told a story about electrical discharges causing things like she saw. There was no explanation for the light that my daughter saw and watched for quite some time. But we were there, weren't we, Flo?
Thamk you so much for sharing this information. I certainly have no doubt about what you saw.
you betcha, Wilma, and here is another. On a summer evening it was great to just sit outside in the evening breeze and look at the stars and etc. Me and the girls were out at the in-laws, Lewis was at work) and all at once Floyd (f-i-l) said look - to the south was a huge bright star and from it were hundreds of tiny stars going from the big star in every direction. We guessed as to what had happened to that star, but in just a matter of minutes all those "little stars" came back and connected with the big star. Now you tell me, what were we seeing????
None of you have lost any marbles. You really are seeing these things. As to what they are...some have easy explainations, similar to northern light activites and reflections on clouds. Others just don't seem to have any earthly explaination. They are common in areas with lots open space. And most people won't share the stories for fear of being branded loonies. Daddy saw "something" too, long ago when he still lived near Howard. He was driving home at dusk and the weather was dry, but rather unsettled. He said a big ball of "light"( about 4 ft. wide and 5ft. off the ground) suddenly appeared on the other side of the barbed wire fence that lined the road. He said it moved along with him for about 25 yards, seeming to "bounce" as it went along. Suddenly it "popped," and vanished. He was a very analytical scientist and assumed it was some kind of St. Elmo's Fire or electrical in nature because of the dry air, but he never knew for sure. It's all facinating though, isn't it?
Eddie B. Henry and wife MarDee lived in Howard at the time, and they came to our house the next day after "the occurance"..They had gone to bed and were asleep, when a high pitched beeping sound awakened them..their bedroom was flooded with a bright light and the wind came up and the movement of the tree limbs frightened them. They said they lay there for quite a while -- the beeping sound finally went away and the bright light went out -- we four were sure it was indeed a UFO.
Mama... didn't a UFO hover and follow you and Aunt Barbara in the car one evening?
Mother,
The thing that Mrs. Henderson saw and the rest of us couldn't see was really strange because she called not just one time, but two time, about this thing.
Wasn't this the time that Jimmie Ann was making ice box cookies and she had colored them yellow, green, and light blue? I thought that Jimmie Ann and Jean also saw these lights and when Jimmie Ann came in, she opened up the freezer on the refridgerator and said, "The lights are the same color as this cookie dough." I thought Jimmie Ann and Jean had been to MYF or something.
Am I remembering right? I may not be, but I do remember Mrs. Henderson calling because she was so excited and scared. I don't know where her husband, Raymond, was.
This happened in 1973 and Jean was married and Jimmie Ann says she was in Winfield that night. Raymond was home but I got the impression that he thought she was just seeing things. We talked about it in school the next day.
3 summers ago, Mark and I were riding in the jeep (without the top)
coming back in from the farm..( our lake) at about 10:00 at night.
We were just tooling along putting down the road, not going fast at all.. and suddenly we saw this HUGE round flying saucer hovering almost by Anna Beth and Richard Fish's house.
We saw it at the same time and it was round with red and blue and green lights all around it and they were flashing kinda fast in a consecutive order of an odd manner. There was what looked like a round dome like thing on the top with lights .
This saucer was huge.. probably would have set down nicely in a square football field. We stopped the jeep and got out and stood in the middle of the road and there was absolutely NO sound. None! No wind.. no sound.. just this huge saucer hovering...
Within seconds, it just disappeared!. Vanished..
Mark yelled" Where did it go.. what happened to it."
. and I yelled back.. "Don't look for it at the same spot.. Look over here."
and I pointed somewhere on the west side of the sky.
All of a sudden there it was... hovering in the sky on the west side of the road and then 2 large compartments on the sides opened and about 20 -30 small ships with red and yellow lights all around each one flew out ..and they were everywhere.. like lightening bugs at super speed.
These little ships were small.. about the size of a car.. and fast... and silent... NO NOISE!.
And in a few seconds they were all back to the mother ship .. flew inside and the ship rose a bit in the air and went straight up.. then angled off to the south and before our very eyes.. disappeared.
Just like that!
It was deathly quiet..and we just stood in the road not saying a word.. just staring at the sky..
Finally came to our senses and jumped back into the jeep and headed to town, scanning every inch of the sky trying to see something else.. We went to Derek's and told him and he left in his jeep and we drove all over trying to see something.. but didn't.
The next night Mark went back to the lake by himself and was working and he was ready to come in about the same time ..10:00.
And in the north, he saw it again.. the big ship and it was quite a ways off, but he could clearly see it.. saw a whole bunch of little fast twinkling lights flying all around the place and then gone.
He said it all took place in about 30 seconds.
We haven't seen anything since.
I am amazed at people who think that in all of this universe.. a time and space that is so vast that the human mind can not even fathom how big is is... could possibly be so arrogant as to think that as humans... being the level of species that we are... are the only life forms?
My gosh.... if it wasn't so pathetic sounding.. it would be funny.
If there isn't a higher form of living intelligence out there somewhere.. something is really wrong.. ::)
LOL
we've been to the moon and back, and all over outer space, so why can't something or someone else be doing the same to our planet?
Well, first, from looking at the news on CNN several times a day, I would have to say if we humans are the highest form of intelligence in the universe, it doesn't say much for the universe.
Second, the universe is a very random place, not to mention REALLY big, and I don't think that us folks down here on this one little planet should be ruling anything out.
And third, I am mightily annoyed that I have never seen anything myself that would qualify as a UFO in all my sixty years of life. Drat!
That's cause you are a fraaaawwg.
And frawgs don't look up too often. :-\
Oh, no! When you're a little frawgy, you spend most of your time looking up or you never see anything but grass and the occasional snack!
;)
You better look up or you'll be some long legged bird's occasional snack.
Good night all.
Birds that tried before are still hungry. ;)
Sleep well!
I have sat here and laughed out loud --- frawg ---I was thinking the exact same thing about the universe being in pretty sad shape if we are the "smartest thing out there"
and then read your reply --- hahahahaha
There is a lot of room for improvement, I woud say!!
Mama~~~~
Are you going to tell them about you and Aunt Barb and the car and the UFO..
**rolling my eyes* sheesh... ::)
*you want me to fix this cat or do ya'! * ;D ;D hahahahahaha
(((old family joke)))
Every so often I meet someone that I am pretty sure is from outer space,
;) I think a few of them are on this forum 8)
Sorry, I had to go recharge my master battery.(beep) Now, what were you saying?
The only time I remember about A. Barb and I was in Minnesota --- and Aunt Rosalie, and Grandma Mac were with us -- The four of us had gone in one car and the men had gone in another -- and they went home before we did. We were coming home from Walker, Minn. and all of a sudden there was something right above us -- bright lights flashing - and staying right on top [ or so it seemed anyway ] of the car and the faster we drove, it did too- then all of a sudden it was in front of us - and then just Poof -- it disappeared. Were we scared????? You betcha !!
Sounds like it must have been Sheriff Buford P. Watson...
Jo -
Who's your Aunt Rosalie?
There aren't many Rosalie's around - I know a Rosalie from Niotaze.
I think we should all try to say that real fast five times. Ready?
Rosalie from Niotaze
Rosalie from Niotaze
Rosalie from Niotaze
Rosalie from Niotaze
Rosalie from Niotaze
That was very good, class!
;D
Mom
It is not my Aunt Rosalie --it is my sister-in-law Rosalie---you probably know her -- Rosalie McDonald.
I was responding to Teresa's post - and referred to her as A. Rosalie and A. Barbara - both are my sister-in-laws.
Teresa, ever since you posted that alien story, I have been having computer problems; I'm serious. Did you annoy those little guys somehow? Every thread is v-e-r-y slow to load and sometimes it just sits there and looks at me. Is it your end or my end, or THEM.
It's slow because Frawg tried to change his name to Kermit. That screwed up the whole world.
Rudy, you have cracked me up again! ROFL!
I am just visualizing my name change working its way slowly through the Universal Bureaucracy, laying low the entire neatly ordered Universal Hegemony, bringing the stately dance of the stars to a screeching halt...
Oh, sorry, got carried away.
;D
Frawg, you surely must be a man of letters.
Like: D-U-H?
Sorry. An old coot like me shouldn't use teen-ager slang.
Naw, heck, Rudy, I only get the same 26 as the rest of us. Well, except for the Danes. It has always looked to me like the Danes had more letters than anyone else. They certainly use more. But me, I'm just stuck with those same old letters.
By the way, since you're in the business and all, I wonder if you could loan me a few G's and R's until next week, when I get my next budget allotment of letters. I could also use a few commas, I guess, looking at the start of the first sentence.
;D
If you get a shipment of apostrophies, could you please train them to stay away from simple plural words most of the time?
You must have been reading my posts again, Diane. I will try to do better.
I have mine fairly well trained. I don't know that I can do anything about the rest of them. I suppose that we would all be smart to get our letters from Rudy. Being a newspaper man, and all, all of his letters should be thoroughly trained when you get them. No muss, no fuss.
;D
No, Wilma, I did not mean you. You put me to shame.
Maybe it is my commas that get kind of wild once in awhile.
My problem is simpler than commas, Wilma. My problem is fingers. Occasionally, those selfsame fingers behave more like the flippers that my namesake sports. Which is to say, typos, evil typos. Even though I generally know what keys I want to hit, all too often during the trip down the neurons in my arms from my brain to my fingers, that knowledge is lost, and the wrong key struck. Alas, typos will someday be my doom, when exactly the wrong keys are struck, and exactly the wrong person offended.
Woe is me!
Well, except for the spelling checker.
;D
You don't have flippers; those are webbed feet. You have your typing excuses and I have mine. I just don't know how to type. I am a graduate of the hunt and peck school.
I'm not a touch typist either. I was often amazed that I got through so many years in the computer business without that talent. I was never even asked the question in an interview. Of course, a lot of that time I was a programmer, and it turned out that I could still type faster than most anybody could think in the programming language de jour. When I stopped being a programmer, I started being a project manager. Since I was running the project, I always made sure that I had a tech writer on board to help with the project text.
Oddly enough, it was only after I started writing fiction that it became a problem. I discovered that I could think a lot faster in English than I could in C++, so I would sometimes go into brainstorm mode when the story was coming at me to fast to keep up with, just writing down the basics and then going back to fill in the words when my internal plot-maker shut down. Never make the Muse wait, is my motto.
;)
What did Diane say she was huntin?
Blush, blush!
I've been trying to ignore that one, Rudy. All I know for sure is that Diane has been gone a very long time.
;D
Good morning you two. Define "gone.'' If you mean mentally, I agree. Physically, Al hasn't been feeling well so we went to bed early. And Rudy, that was peck, as in chickens eating.... no other interpretation please! ;) ;)
Keep them in line Diane, it is wayyy to early in the day for those two to get started on that line of thinking.
:angel: Whatever are you two talking about? :angel:
:angel: Rudy, do you know what they're talking about? :angel:
Men's brains are forever in the gutter. ::)
Rudy, there they go again!
Now I find out that the ladies are having some pretty salty thoughts at our expense. I have no idea what set them off. And on Sunday, too!
Well, I never!
:angel: ;D :angel:
You never what, Frawgy? And what in the world does this line of chat have to do with flying saucers?
Well, I never a lot of things. I never responded to the words, "Hand me that piano." I never danced the night away with a turkey vulture. I never read all the words in the Encyclopedia Britannica upside down and backwards. The list is almost endless.
And what does this last bit of conversation have to do with flying saucers? Well, it's a little spooky, that's what!
;D
Nothing naughty intended. Maybe Diane was huntin' for the Control Option Shift command on her keyboard, or a recipe for turtle balls, or maybe a spot on the neck to plant a rofer.
That's all.
Holie Buckets -----there goes another UFO *** this forum is flying off into outer space -----whewwwwwwww
I agree, Rudy, the possibilities have no bound. Maybe it was something in the tone of those typed letters that seemed outré, or maybe it was just the exact congruence of the individual words. I am a bit surprised that two men of the world like you and I didn't catch onto it until the ladies pointed it out to us, but I guess that they were just quicker to the point than we were.
:angel: ;D :angel:
Help ! ! ! ! I'm completely lost
Flo, just turn left at the mail box and then right at the white house. And there you are!
You'll still be lost, but you'll know how to get to the mailbox!
;D
>:( smartass ::)
Florene, you need to be more open and direct with your word(s) of expression.
Frank
No, heck, Frank, I think she did just fine.
I am indeed the very reason why parents do not send their donkeys to college.
;D
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all get together, just once, for a good laughing and hugging session? You guys are so funny!
What is it about teaching pigs to sing?
Why would I want to teach a pig to sin?
Rudy, I agree it would be great to get together but I only hug girls so I would just have to laugh with the guys.
Frank
That was sing , not sin... oh, never mind ;D ;D ;D
C'mon, Diane, one can sing while sinning, can't one?
Well, Rudy, one could sing while sinning, but I don't recommend the sinning part. Singing will have to do.
QuoteC'mon, Diane, one can sing while sinning, can't one?
And the reverse - the sin while singing? ;D ;D ;D
Has anyone signed up for this S & S class??? where is the sign up sheet ------Hummmmmmmmmmmmm I wonder if some one came in and done away with that horrible thing? Drat -- missed out again~~~~~ oh well-- there is always tomorrow.
I'd be pretty surprised if any of us needed any coaching in S & S. Well, maybe Janet, but that's all.
;D
QuoteI'd be pretty surprised if any of us needed any coaching in S & S. Well, maybe Janet, but that's all.
Nah - she doesn't need any coaching. She sings just fine! ;D ;D ;D
Well, that's a good point, Mom70x7. I'm sure that all of us can get at least halfway there.
I have a problem, though, in that I can't carry a tune in a bucket.
::)
For the love of the lord!
Good thing I know you all and that most of you belong in the S&S insane asylum or I would have been lost lost lost..
Coming back in after 2 days........................

at least you won't have to worry about packing a bucket then. ;D
LOL! Nope, a bucket for my tunes is about the last thing I need. I only "sing" when my family is not at home and I know all the neighbors are away.
;D
Great stories! Do you have any more?
Thank you Jody... :)
I do believe somewhere between what the thread started to be and what it has turned into .. there is a HUGE gap.
So we will put the call out...
Who has a flying saucer or UFO story to tell?
told all my UFO stories - not a doubt in my mind there will be more in the future, tho. Just keep your eyes to the sky
I would like to hear more flying saucer stories, too. I may be a bit skeptical since I have never seen one but when people I trust tell about them, I will believe.

Just what exactly is so incredible about you being lost? I know you are lost. You are lost all the time. If you didn't have me around, you wouldn't even know how to get to your own house or to your own bed. I have to tell you everything. Gosh. Okay. You're lost. See if you can find a compass and find your way back.
You know? You are a hateful ole' thing... >:(
no proablem, Teresa, Frawg can tell you how to get to the mailbox. ;D ;D :-\
I could, but I lost that post.
;)
;D :-\ me too, that's the reason I couldn't tell her where to look. :angel:
LOL! Well, if the Queen needs my help, she knows where to find me.
;D
I think everyone misunderstood.
She's wanting to know how to get "into" the mail box.
Surely the Queen will know how to do that.
Oh, yes, surely she will. I hope that my post will not be Royally interpretted as in any way doubting the abilities of Her Highnes to perform any action whatever.
Heaven forfend!
:o
Forfend is to bend
verbiage to an end.
Having used it, is there a past tense to "forfend?"
Forfent?
Forbend.. forfent.. forcent .. forlint.. forzent ...for. ...whatever!!!!
Men! ::) ::)

:-\ dang, wish I could find my dictionary ???
That's not nearly the weirdest word in early and middle English. For my money, that prize may well go to "peradventure." That huge word means "if" so it's no wonder the word "if" was invented. We really needed it!
;)
:-\ shows you what I know. I would probably have said "seen some beautiful scenery peradventure I took to the country." ;D ;D :angel:
Well, Flo, your definition makes a lot more sense than the one that is correct. I guess we both suffer, in this case, from not being fifteenth century English persons.

Be glad be very glad 'cos after having to read Chaucer and Shakespeare in high school I can only say that is a good thing to suffer from ;D
I wound up reading a lot of old and middle English and I can verify that they did indeed talk funny. It was a little like trying to decipher code, although part of the words were sort of familiar. In the overall scheme of things, that was not all that long ago. It is amazing how fast us folks can change things.
That's "how WE folks can change things." yuk,yuk
There you go with size again!

Geez.

When in high school, I would read scripture in church from the King James Version. When I came back from time to time and was asked to read, I would continue to use the KJV. One day the minister asked me why I hadn't switched to Good News or the New Revised Standard Version, like he and most of the others had, I just repeated what the elder leaders like David Brace and John Clark had told me, "In King James, if you mess up words, no one is going to know it, because they don't know how it's pronounced either."
I can just hear David Brace and John Clark saying that.
By the way, apparently John Clark is in or has recently been in the hospital. I don't know any more info than that.
I saw something last night that I can't explain. I was walking back to my home after having supper with my mother. I was looking at stars when I saw three lights in a row. They were located in the northwest just behind the tree row back of my trailer. They were at least 500 to 600 feet off the ground located on the south side of the elevator that located on Adam Street. After I saw them the lights went black ( one light at time). This is not the only time that I saw unexplained lights. The incident happen in the 60s and it was in Severy. That time I heard a sound of engines but the lights were the same distant from the ground and I could the lights clearly. They were arrange like window on an airplane and it was 4 in the morning.
Please call Dennis Kucinich as soon as possible [just joking]
There is a previous thread on the forum in which a number of Elk County people saw unexplained phenomena in the 60s and 70s.
I guess this is that thread!
This evening on the History Channel was a program on UFCs (Unidentifed Flying Creatures) which are known as RODS.
RODS are flying rod like "vehicles" measuring from a few inches to many feet in length with double, triple, quadruple and more sets of wings and flying at a tremendous rate of speed.
They are not detectable by the human eye and have only been detected on video tape.
First I had heard of them.
Some scientists believe they are living things flying too fast for the human eye to see, which is why they are only seen on tape.
Others say they are the result of photographic imperfections, which explains why they are only seen on tape.
And we all know that if it is a scientist talking.. then it HAS TO HAVE a logical explanation..................... ::)
Wow, how interesting. I haven't heard of these RODS before. Maybe in April I need to go down to Eureka Springs, AR to the UFO conference. I haven't been to one in about 6 years.
They have those?? ??
Wow.. I would love to go one time.. :)
Veeerrryyy interesting! When is it?
The flying rods had been broadcast before about 6 years ago on the Discovery channel or the Science Channel.
The UFO Conference in Eureka Springs, AK, has always been a well attended event. It has gone on for years. There has actually been a number of things down in those Ozark hills over the years. Strange cattle mutilations, etc. Linda Moulton Howe who is one of the leading researchers of that phenomen has spoke a number of times at Eureka Springs, along with researchers from England who have written on the crop circles. Also abductees. I have to say having attended those events in the past and talking to people there, I have never met anyone that I felt was a fake. Whether or not what they talked about really happened, I couldn't say, but I was convinced that they believed it happened. Anyway, its fun and interesting. It lasts three days: Guest speakers, discussion groups and vendors. I met people who were so paranoid about government involvement in cover ups that they felt there were always government people attending these events and noting who the people were who attended.
We had someone here in Springfield in the 90's who was doing hypnosis with people who felt they had been abducted. He sponsored some UFO Conferences here. He left this area a few years ago and I can't remember his name. Anyway, one of the people I heard here was the son of the man who first found the downed ship in Roswell, NM. He is a medical doctor who lives in Arizona. I believe he was on Larry King not to long ago. He was very credible. He definitely feels that his activities are pretty closely monitored. He just tells about what he heard and saw at that time and what his father believed.
I get a flyer every year about it, I'll post the info when I get it.
Yes please do.. I think that sounds like something I would like to attend. :)
( I would take Ta Ta with me.. but she is already in outer space most of the time..) ;D
TaTa would disagree with you. She would tell you that she has a sister that is already in outer space.
Heyyyyyy Tressy ~~~~ Maybe you and I could make one of our famous "journeys"
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha NEVER EVER WILL I FORGET 'THE ONE"
Oh Lordy --- here I sit laughing out loud all by myself.
Hey, we could do a UFO Conference/Elk Co Mini reunion. Eureka Springs is one of my very favorite places. We would have a ball.
That would be a blast! They would think aliens had arrived for sure!
I love Eureka Springs and have been there a million times.. ( well maybe 30 or so) :-\ )
I am serious though on going. I think that would be so cool.
Hey Mama.. I will grab you up and we will go UFO'ing.. We can add it to our list of things that we have explored together.. :D

I attend lots of psychic seminars and weekend healing workshops and things of that nature . Mama was available to go with me one time in Sulphur Springs. It was in a weird location and right off the bat, mama and my warped sense of humor kicked in.
We really didn't know what to expect. It started out stranger than the night.. but ended up being so darn fun.. We made a major memory on that weekend..
Found out that Mama had the power of healing in her hands and she didn't even know it.. hahaha ;D ;D
It seems like I usually get that flyer sometime in February. I'll work on trying to find out sooner. The metaphysical bookstore here may know something. I'll drop in there and find out. (Like I need an excuse).
Yea.. I hear that..... ::) I am the same way.... :laugh:
But depend on who they have as their speaker.guest.. but it isn't one I would ever go back to. As far as the learning part.. it wasn't all that great..
BUT~~ that was a long time ago.. maybe they have changed it...
They have a beautiful old haunted hotel in Eureka Springs that even has night tours. I plan to stay there sometime.
The UFO Conference is April 4,5,6 and it is at the Ozark Inn (I think that is the right name). Don't know the speakers yet. I know Dolores Cannon will be there with her books to sign and just milling around visiting with people. Don't think she is a speaker this year, but don't know for sure. She is a hynotherapist and past life regressionist and has written a number of books, the most well known, about contacting Nostradamas through one of her subjects. Fascinating work, she travels all over the world. Very down to earth, no big mystical stuff, just tells you about the work......just mind boggling at times. You can read about her at www.ozarkmt.com.
I'll post more info as I get it.
Thanks, I checked some of it out and will go into it more later.
I don't know yet if we will be away at those dates on a filming trip.. but will check it out and see what comes up.
The Delores lady sounds interesting.
Oh, Ta Ta is not in outer space. She is definitely flying around here looking for some kind of UFO, but I have yet to see one.
Headline on MSN this morning. Dozens see UFO in Texas. Now I am going back and read the article.
I just saw that as well. Interesting to see what we hear about it or if the story disappears off the media real quick.
Where in Texas did they see them?
Stephenville.
