I live in the country where there are just a very few lights seen in the distant. No close neighbors. The nearest road is half a mile away. It was a restless night for me and was wide awake, it was about 1am when I ventured out my room to make a bathroom visit. I had to go through the office which was pitch dark and only a few steps from the kitchen so I did not turn on the light. As soon as I entered the office I saw the wall that I was turned towards as I was leaving the room suddenly light up outlining the French windows against it. It took only a second to realize that nothing I know of could be making a light come through the window like that, so I quickly turned my head to look behind me to see a huge,glowing white light ascending over the house. Ive been seeing lights around the house since I first moved in going on 13 years now. This event in itself does not seem so disturbing to me if I had not just recently experienced missing time. I often have many restless nights. I watch T.V., mostly with the sound turned down, toss and turn, and go the bathroom, which I have to leave the bedroom, go through the office, kitchen and small hall to get to. I am a clock watcher so I check the time periodically through the night, not always but sometimes. On this night, when I left the room I glanced at the time, it was close to midnight. When I got back into the room for some reason I decided to check the time again and it was 3:12am. To me, all I did was go straight to the bathroom and back. It was quite disturbing to me so I told my boyfriend and daughter later that day about the incident. We just laughed it off. Not laughing now.

The Psychrophiles Are Coming!
Marshall Karlfeldt explores the work of the late Zecharia Sitchin from The Earth Chronicles (Sitchin’s merticulous translations of thousands of Sumerian cuneiform tablets concerning the history of the earliest human civilization). The tablets contain The Epic of Enuma Elish (The Story of Creation) and The Epic of Gilgamesh, as explained through the works of Sitchen’s deciphers, a civilization some 450,000 years ago from a far distant world called Nibiru.
(Adam, The Missing Link: The New History of Mankind’s Creation. Marshall Karlfeld. 2009. www.trafford.com. Sixty-six pages, $38.95). If you would like more information or to purchase this book from amazon.com simply click on its title: ADAM the Missing Link
ANUNNAKI
The book contains extremely handsome and elaborate photographs, professionally exquisite graphic charts, illustrations that are well worth the cost: outlining the arrival and rise of an alleged civilization called the Anunnaki; Gilgamesh, the king of Urek; Ekidu, a cloned humanoid of the Anunnaki; Lord Enki, the chief genetic engineer; and Gilgamesh’s mother as an Anunnaki Divine Princess; Gilgamesh’s father was human.
The 6th tablet tells about Princess Ishtar who lusts after Gilgamesh, but is rejected by him. Furious, Ishtar travels from an orbiting mother ship to Urek, stealing the “Bull of Heaven” from Leader Anu, and uses the laser-device to blast the streets of Uruk killing hundreds of people. Gilgamesh and Enkidu destroy “The Bull” as Ishtar retreats.
CYLINDER VA/243
Cylinder seal VA/243 is about 4,500 years old. The story on the cylinder tells of Anunnaki leaders: the Commander Enlil and Genetic Engineer Enki are shown experimenting with animals, says Klarfeld.
The same diagrams show the alleged solar system with 10 planets; Nibiru is supposedly the 10th planet.
CARL SAGAN
Klarfeld, as also so many other people, believe that a double entendre’ existed in the beliefs and statements of scientist Carl Sagan; Sagan always intended his words provoke additional thoughts on controversial topics, says Klarfeld. In Sagan’s 1985 book Contact, his photograph holds behind him a “sentient belief” in Samarian stories of the Anunnaki. Sagan once named a spaceship as Gilgamish. It was Sagan that says: ‘Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.” Klarfield adds: “I suspect that Dr. Sagan was a believer who wanted to signal his beliefs, without overtly confronting the scientific community.”
THE ENUMA ELISH EPIC
Klarfeld summarizes that The Enuma Elish Epic predates the Hebrew Book of Genesis, and is the bases for the Genesis creation account. It is the original creation story that was transmitted orally from the Anunnaki. The Epic comes to rest eventually in the form of seven cuneiform tablets.
(Why the Anunnaki didn’t use their advanced knowledge and technology to transmit history, as such, in a superior and very solidified means other than ‘oral’ and primitive ‘tablets’ is a curiously tantalizing question.)
THE SEVEN DAYS OF CREATION
Genesis speaks of seven days of creation. There are “seven” tablets relaying the Sumerian tale, says Sitchen. In Genesis, God sees on the 7th day that creation is good, and then He rests; in the Sumerian accounts, the ‘god’ creates in the length of ‘six tablets’, but on the last and 7th tablet, ‘god’ heralds and examines his creation. In the Sumerian seven tablets, creation is portrayed. In Genesis, God creates and praises His creation in ‘seven’ days.
NIBIRU AND PLANETS AS ‘GODS’
The Enuma Elish tale, according to the late Zacheria Sitchen, names the planets of the solar system in the form of ‘gods’: Sun, Moon, nine planets, and Nibiru as the 10th planet. Starting from the Sun, they are Apsu (which is the Sun), Mummu, Lahamu, Tiamat (the Earth), Kishar, Arislar, Anu, Ea (Neptune). Apparently, Pluto is disowned and disenfranchised by Anunnaki and present-day scientists. Translating the personified conversations in the tale, the solar system was very mobile, causing all kinds of havoc and destruction until the sun stabilized their movements.
Earth’s moon is called Kingu, and the moon of Nibiru is called “Northwind”. When Nibiru came close to Earth in its 3,600 year orbit around the sun, ‘Northwind’ careened into the Earth about 225-million-years ago, fragmenting Pangea into continents, causing new orbits for Tiamat (Earth) and Nibiru. The asteroid belt is referred to as the Hammered Bracelet.
LIFE ON A COLD PLANET
If Sitchen is correct, the inhabitants of Nibiru evolved on a planet that had no ‘goldilocks’ zone from a central sun precisely at the adequate distance for life as we know it. That means that Nibiruites must have had a very peculiar evolution.
Has there ever been precedence in the UFO lore of beings evolving on a “cold planet”? Yes, there have been a few, one in particular: the stories of the late Richard Sharpe Shaver and the late Raymond Arthur Palmer.
THE TRADITIONS OF SHAVER AND PALMER
Through a period of about 1943 to 1977 the publisher of Amazing Stories Magazine, Ray A. Palmer (affectionately referred to as RAP), promulgated accounts of Richard Shaver’s journey into a Hidden World. Shaver, somewhat of a bohemian character who grew up with science-fiction and a dabbling of science, had also, for the most part, been an adventurer from occupation to occupation, talent to talent, territory to territory. Shaver also had an enlarged imagination as he discovered one day while working as a welder in a Detroit auto factory: voices were coming from his welding equipment; the voices were describing obscene depictions, and generally detailing outlandish events of another reality.
Right away, many would be to say that Shaver was probably schizophrenic or somehow mentally ill, but Palmer was swift to point out to Shaver’s detractors that much more were happening to Shaver. Palmer based that opinion on scientific verification of Shaver’s claims. There also existed modern theories on exactly what the brain perceives amidst the latest traditions of quantum physics.
(One is reminded of the movie scene in A Beautiful Mind where schizophrenic John Nash, played by Richard Crowe, is observing the reflections of glass and crystal and seeing great mathematical possibilities: to quote the Halexandria Foundation: “On the one hand, there is the supposition that all of reality is an illusion. As discussed in Mass, the universe is nothing more than a figment of our prolific imaginations, a phantasm. That may be, but on a more, still-in-the-midst-of-this-life’s-drama level, we can ask about the degree to which we may be imagining -- and/or creating -- our own reality.” [Creating Your Perfect Reality])
DELICATE CONNECTIONS
David Darling, an astronomer and graduate of Sheffield and Manchester Universities in England, speaks of ancient and current practitioners to ‘brain tapping’, as one example, that by-passes the brain as a modulator to confronting cosmic consciousness. Darling also speaks of CLive Wearing’s Korsakoff Disease (Korsakoff had to reconstruct reality and memory every few seconds): “Cases such as these speak of more than just the fragile and constructed nature of self. They raise serious questions about the nature of time,” says Darling, “and the delicate connection between psychological time and physical reality. Could it be that time, likewise, is nothing more than a product of the way we think.” (Soul Search, Villard Books, Random House, New York, 1995, page 117).
SANCTOMONIUS RIGHTEOUSNESS
Darling and other scientists point to altered states of consciousness where perception exceeded normal restraints. The sanctimonious judgments of such people, others would say, were probably premature if not also suspect and neurotic.
BACK INTO SPACE
Palmer received a rather sketchy manuscript at his office at Amazing Stories Magazine telling of a vast underground civilization of demented creatures left on earth thousands of years ago by an Elder Race; this race possesses super-technology from their fore-fathers, who escaped earthly contamination by heading back into space.
AMAZING STORIES
The beings that were left behind on earth are a composite of ‘The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly’, to use a movie metaphor: abandero or dero, and the not-so-bad, sometimes good, tero. Dero keep themselves “Dosed-up”, so-to-speak, through their machines which allow them to continue long but torturous lives of radiation poisoning from the sun.
The Tero are a little more fortunate, know the danger of the destructive “de” from the Sun, as well as the mechanics of surviving in such a surrealistic world. Some Tero actually wage war against the Dero who have the advantage of combat with their Ben-ray, Stim-ray, Telesolidography, and Telepathic-Augmentor.
And then, there are the “surface dwellers”: we humans, who have to deal with apparitions, ghosts, poltergeists, surface-type diseases and other mysterious calamities.
IT’S HELL!
Out of such a rich but chaotic history grows the legends of other legends; tales of other tales; Atlantis, Lemuria, Mu, The Oahspe Bible, Hades (Hell), and hundreds of other sagas.
Palmer reconstructed Shaver’s story-line for Amazing Stories and presented the manuscripts in a serious vain and found himself avalanched by responses from thousands of readers with a chorus of “Real! This is really happening!”; most were certifiably sane. Carl Sagan said and (quoted by Elz Cuya) “….renamed the scientific method, ‘the baloney detection kit’. He admitted that science at times had been wrong.”
COLD PLANETS
If Shaver was insane, he also appeared correct, exampled by one such claim that the Elder Race lives on “dark, cold worlds”, away from deadly effects of space and sun radiation (exd) which carries “de, der, dir or d” ash, as compared to good matter – integrative energy – te, ter or t.
Like Zarcharia Sitchen (1976), Emanuel Velikousky (1950), Harold Jeffreys (1924), Shaver’s stories also told of cosmic catastrophe: Planets were dislodged, oribts realigned, and crash events occurred. The Elder Race feared none of this on their ‘dark planet’ of the Nortean Race.
THE MEANING OF EVIL
Princess Vanic and other “Elder Gods”, as recorded in Shaver’s I Remember Lemuria (1948), lived on the ‘sunless Nor’: they were “Nortons” who could thrive in ‘dark space’; they were ‘Titans’. ‘Atlans’, and ‘Nor-tons’. They do avoid the “black death” from the “masses of (the) poisonous particles” from any sun or star (also called ‘dis’ or ‘de’). Such poison eventually causes ‘radioactive disease’ known as ‘‘age’’.
Nortons were protected by a “carbon shell” canopy. Unfortunately, our sun, Sol, captured Nor and over many eons, the “shell” burned away about 30,000 years ago, allowing the destructive “de, der, dir or d” to enter the surface and cause havoc, disease and aging. A residual “exd”, or ash, pushed back causing ‘gravity’ (A lot of Shaver’s ‘formulas’, said Palmer, have been found to be eventually true).
Not only was the capture of the “cold planet” a major epiphany-event but there were cataclysmic events and collisions of celestial bodies through the solar system.
This resulted in various legends.
LEGENDS
As mentioned, some legends appear to be copies or remnant stories of other legends: issue tales of Atlantis, Lemuria, Mu, and Shaver’s strange “Mantong” language and alphabet where each letter denoted meaning: one word could seemingly be a complete sentence or more.
When the “gods” left earth, they also abandoned superior machinery and diseased monsters that took “surface dwellers” into their Realm as “shanghaied slaves”.
Shaver died in November, 1975 (same month I was confronted with the Kafkaesque world of the multibillion dollar Divorce Industry, Scam and Racket). Ray Palmer died in August, 1977, just two years after his dear friend Richard Shaver.
THE VISITOR
Donald Wesley Patten refers to such a mysterious celestial body moving tremulously through our solar system as “the Visitor” (The Biblical Flood and the Ice Epoch, Pacific Meridan Publishing Company, 1966, page 139). As a professional Geographer, M.A., Patten came to believe that a number of cosmic and planetary events disturbed the evolution of earth and its inhabitants. Rather than a “carbon shell”, Patten believed Earth had a “water canopy” (evidenced by a residual Van Allen Belt around the planet). The “canopy” was destroyed by a combination of events in the solar system. This “canopy” protected the earth from radiation and space debris (referred to in the Book of Genesis in the Scriptures as “the waters above”), allowing a rather deterioration-free world. The intimate details are in Patten’s book and related works of Imanuel Velikovsky and Jim Wentworth’s Giants in the Earth; but all theories and legends hold questionable “gaps” and beg multiple queries as yet unanswered or challenged.
STORED INFORMATION DEVICES
Klarfeld answers numerous questions; I cannot say he will answer questions to everyone’s satisfaction. He examines Samarian and ancient archeology through four categories: S.I.T – or – Stored Information Text (cuneiform tablets), S.I.Ts – or – Stored Information Tablets (cuneiform tablets), S.I.D - or - Stored Information Device (cylinder seals), S.I.Sc – or – Stored Information Sculpture (Ishtar statue, etc.), and S.I.ST – or - Stored Information Structure (pyramids).
HANDS ON
The pyramids certainly seem mysterious enough to be classified as possibly an actual alien “structure”: 2.3 million bricks in the Giza pyramid with a satellite view of being only two inches off at the apex. This is a tolerance of 1/1,000,000 of an inch.
But the question seems affordable to ask: why did the Sumerians, who consorted with the Anunnaki beings and leaders, not “demand”, or, at least, query their Creators about obtaining or inventing their super-technology? They could have insisted or campaigned as so that the Anunnaki put their laser, radio, and other advanced machinery at their disposal. Conversely, the Anunnaki could have circumnavigated cuneiform tablets and cylinder-seals and ‘give’ the Eridue superior machines.
WIPE OUT
Why is there only history of the Anunnaki in the Mesopotamian civilization? Or, does the “Nephilim” do a very good job of keeping their existence of technology completely out of the hands of the Enkidu? Why allow ‘any’ technological transfer?
(Tantalizing questions are further posed in Part II of the curiosities of the Elder Gods and the reality of the planet Niberu.)

We Are Preparing Citizens For Coming Solar Magnetic Storms - USGS.gov [del.icio.us]
Note: He said even people off this planet ? What the heck is that supposed to? mean? Strange choice? of words !
Now in latest development according to usgs.gov, Everyone is familiar with weather systems on Earth like rain, wind and snow. But space weather – variable conditions in the space surrounding Earth – has important consequences for our lives inside Earth’s atmosphere.
The arc of light heading towards the earth is a coronoal mass ejection, which impacts the earth's magnetic field (shown in purple), causing magnetic storms.Solar activity occurring miles outside Earth’s atmosphere, for example, can trigger magnetic storms on Earth. These storms are visually stunning, but they can set our modern infrastructure spinning.On Jan. 19, scientists saw a solar flare in an active region of the Sun, along with a concentrated blast of solar-wind plasma and magnetic field lines known as a coronal mass ejection that burst from the Sun’s surface and appeared to be headed for Earth.When these solar winds met Earth’s magnetic field, the interaction created one of the largest magnetic storms on Earth recorded in the past few years. The storm peaked on Jan. 24, just as another storm began.“These new storms, and the storm we witnessed on Sept 26, 2011, indicate the up-tick in activity coming with the Earth’s ascent into the next solar maximum,” said USGS geophysicist Jeffrey Love.” This solar maximum is the period of greatest activity in the solar cycle of the Sun, and it is predicted to occur sometime in end of 2012 - 2013, which will increase the amount of magnetic storms on Earth. Magnetic storms, said Love, are a space weather phenomenon responsible for the breathtaking lights of the aurora borealis, but also sometimes for the disruption of technology and infrastructure our modern society depends on. Large magnetic storms, for example, can interrupt radio communication, interfere with global-positioning systems, disrupt oil and gas well drilling, damage satellites and affect their operations, and even cause electrical blackouts by inducing voltage surges in electric power grids.
US National Academy of Sciences in 2008 had also warned about upcoming solar Storm in 2012 - HERE
Radiation from solar storms also affects airline activity — as a result of last weekend’s storm, both Air Canada and Delta Air Lines rerouted flights over the Arctic bound for Asia as a precautionary measure. Although the storm began on the 19th of January, it did not peak until January 24th.
While this particular storm had minor consequences on Earth, other large storms can be crippling, Love said. He noted that the largest storm of the 20th century occurred in March, 1989, accompanied by auroras that could be seen as far south as Texas, and sent electric currents into Earth’s crust that made their way into the high-voltage Canadian Hydro-Quebec power grid. This caused the transformer to fail and left more than 6 million people without power for 9 hours. The same storm also damaged and disrupted the operation of satellites, GPS systems, and radio communication systems used by the United States military.While large, the 1989 storm pales in comparison to one that occurred in September 1859 and is the largest storm in recorded history. Scientists estimate that the economic impact to the United States from a storm of the same size in today’s society could exceed $1 trillion as a result of the technological systems it could disrupt.Source: http://www.usgs.gov/blogs/features/usgs_top_story/the-usgs-monitors-earth%E2%80%99s-magnetic-field-to-prepare-citizens-for-magnetic-storms/

Doomsday Coming, NASA Knows It : Russian Scientist
Live Chat
In the past year we’ve heard dozens of doomsday prophecies coming from all angles. But one of the most disturbing that seems to coincide almost perfectly with the December 2012 theory is drawn not from theories, but from observations about our solar system. And the conclusions made are based not entirely on speculation, but on history. And if they do occur in the way Alexey Dmitriev suggests, it will change the entire planet as we know it and might kickstart a whole new age for the human race. Even NASA has gotten in on the doomsday theory, though many are saying the picture they paint is too conservative. And yet throughout it all the mainstream media has remained eerily silent.Dmitriev suggests that in addition to the suggestion made by NASA that we may be approaching a major solar catastrophe, but they are not talking about that the Earth, the Sun, and all of the planets in the solar system are soon to enter an unknown interstellar energy cloud.
This cloud could explain a number of recent anomalies and even link together some of the strange Earth events we previously thought were part of an unexplained yet only loosely connected fabric of mysteries. The shift in poles, mass animal die offs, recent increases in the sun’s coronal mass ejections, melting ice on Mars, increases in the number of devastating storms in the United States, and sudden and sometimes completely unexplained shifts in temperature and climate could all be caused by this strange nebulous cloud of energy causing the sun to become more excited than ever before and fueling the sun to erupt into one final burst of energy that could not only destroy everything we know about our society, but also herald in a new wave of consciousness as a new generation of highly advanced and technologically minded people attempt to put the pieces back together and the infrastructure sends humanity back to a level of technology comparable to the turn of the 19th century.And Dmitriev is not alone in his theory that NASA may know more about this than they’re letting on. Quote from NASA Website "The solar system is passing through an interstellar cloud that physics says should not exist" Source : http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2009/23dec_voyager/And it’s likely that this is precisely how it would happen. If NASA or any other space agency or global government organization were to look at the world and think to itself how to tell of such an incredible change to every fundamental aspect of our lives, how would it set about doing it? How would an organization caught up in the dualistic parallels of “us” vs. “them” and ego possibly even begin to approach the concept of a complete remixing of all power on the planet? How would it even go about preparing for it? The simple truth is, it would find preparation virtually impossible.There is even another possibility. Just as people have for centuries simply disbelieved what is “impossible” or greatly different from what they understand, it’s possible the reason the very notion of the end of the world can only be dealt with in our minds as cataclysmic images and allegory is because we cannot even truly understand it. How could we when it is entirely alien to everything we know? We would only be able to deal with it through symbols and weak parallels drawn from our own experience and those of fiction. It would be like comparing a drop of rain to the ocean. Or suggesting that rain comes from the ocean when in fact you could just as easily say the ocean came from rain.Down below is more information regarding this matter:

The Aliens Are Coming! - The Frisky
Ami Angelowicz
9:00AM, 07/02/2011 Comments
I’ve been obsessing about where and when I would have my first close encounter of the third kind since middle school. My teacher, Mr. Vice, was a little bit of an alien conspiracy theorist. His bulletin boards were covered with clippings from the National Enquirer, which at the time, mostly did articles about Oprah being fat and alien/Bigfoot/Loch Ness Monster sightings. He spent our four hours a week together showing us an array of videos—“Aliens and the Mayans,” “The Truth About Roswell,” Aliens in Ancient Egypt,” “Crop Circles: An Extraterrestrial Playground.” When I started sleeping on my parent’s floor in the middle of seventh grade (I convinced myself that our back yard doubled as a UFO landing strip, I mean we did live in Arizona) they pulled me out of the gifted program. I tried to push images of flying saucer abductions out of my mind as I drifted off to sleep. My parents told me it would never happen, that Mr. Vice was a lunatic. Maybe Mr. Vice wasn’t crazy, maybe he was a man before his time, or even an alien himself sent to prepare us for his race’s arrival.
According to Professor Andrei Finkelstein, the director of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Applied Astronomy Institute, we will make contact with alien life forms within the next 20 years and that they will most likely resemble us. Considering 10 percent of the planets in the galaxy resemble the earth in composition, it is statistically unlikely that we are the only intelligent life in the universe. Of course, he’s right. And so was Mr. Vice! I knew it! The aliens are coming. My parent’s lied to me. And now I’m too old for it to be socially acceptable to sleep on their floor. What am I going to do for the next 20 years? [Daily Mail UK]
