Our second year started with a bang, with the massive, yet generally unreported, worldwide July 4th 2009 UFO flap. The July 4th Orange Balls of Light were followed quickly by Mike Rowley’s Northport Devil. The phenomenon were first reported in April of 2009, but we didn’t pick up the story until mid August. Sights continue on Rowley’s property today.

In September, guest journalist Ashley Weller covered the The Galactic Gathering’ Conference from Denver, Colorado, including insight on talks by Sheldan Nidle and the always controversial Stan Romanek.

In November, we covered the Bigfoot Central $1,000,000 Hunt for Bigfoot that was to be held near Silverton, Colorado, July 10-14, 2010 which later turned out to be a bust.

The Spiral UFO Over Norway hogged the weird news in December and the new year brought a werewolf sighting in the always weird Cannock Chase and bringing us that much closer to the much anticipated return of Nibiru in 2012.

The spring brought us Mystery Booms reported in Colchester IL, Portland OR, and Bellingham WA and more Sasquatchploitation than we could follow.

And what to expect from the 3rd Year of Whales In Space?

I expect 2012 weirdness to continue to ramp up, more Orange Balls of Light, more bigfoot, some unidentified dead creatures and I’m sure some weirdness I couldn’t come up…

Hang on, there is more weird coming!

Chris Williams, organiser of Weird Events said

“In February we welcome Trystan Swale to Swindon. He has spoken all over the country and we are very pleased that he is talking at our February event. Trystan will be talking on the subject of “Disinformation in Ufology – The Saucer Saboteurs”.

“The talk covers the diluted truths, outright lies and red herrings that abound in the investigation and research field of UFOs.”

“In the late 1990s some 80% of the American population believed successive administrations were withholding information related to the existence of alien visitors to their airspace. As pressure mounts for governments to disclose their knowledge of UFOs, fingers remain pointed at those accused of attempting to derail the efforts of committed UFO researchers. Who are the shady characters attempting to mislead those ufologists who may have strayed too close to the truth?”

“Trystan Swale is a folklore hobbyist and between 2004 and 2009 was an active member of two paranormal investigation teams in southern England. He has investigated a range of phenomena including ghosts, unidentified flying objects and out of place animals. When not busy piecing together and co-hosting Righteous Indignation podcast, Trystan is a teacher by profession”

Chris also said “The talks are aimed at anyone who wants to find out more about the subject matter and with our varied lectures through 2010, there is something for everyone”

The talks are held in “The Restaurant” Kings Hotel, Wood Street, Swindon. The doors open at 7:15pm and each talk finishes around 9:30pm. Entry is only £6.
