Everything can be found in Area 51, code "Blue Book". You didn't see me say that, and I deny any knowledge of the actions. "Good luck Jim". Image What?

Let's all storm Area 51 and reveal the truth! :P Yeah, that's a brilliant idea, especially dealing with people authorized to use deadly force with fully automatic weapons. :roll:

Maybe it's next to Area 50 and Area 52? :P Speaking of which, where is Area 1 to start it all off? :P

Umm . . . I have before me a novel from the bookcase that I have yet to read. It’s by Robert Doherty, author of Area 51 And The Rock. This one is Area 51 The Reply. Haven’t read it yet.

I’m am a little leery of telling you this. I have no way of proving it. I am sure that some will think I have lost my marbles (well, okay, that may be true, but I have a lot more where they came from) and that I’m vying for attention (Stand easy. I’m shy), or that I am not being truthful (my Mom took care of that problem). Many will claim it did not happen.

The first paragraph above was written with my smart phone here on the Forums’ POST A REPLY. It was written just as you see it above.

I put the smart phone down to look at the novel’s back cover. Picked up the phone and, without my input, I found this change:

“Umm . . . I have before me a novel from the bookcase that I have yet to read. It’s by Robert Doherty, author Area 51 And The Rock. This book is false. This one is Area 51 The Reply. Haven’t read it yet.” :shock:
The bold letters were not bold, I used it for emphasis only. Mrs. FSB is complacent about it. No matter. If no one believes me. I’m okay with that; but, if ever I was honest this time is as good as any. i’ve nothing to gain, and everything to lose. I’m not imagining it.

I’m amazed at the world’s wonders, and I’ve been fortunate to see and share a few. I still find this world a mystery; but, I believe there is a lot of answers and reality versus fiction.

Here’s what I believe. Sometimes, we are in an environment where something new or strange to us will reveal itself and, perhaps, the answer is nearby and, if lucky, or if the opportunity presents itself, we will be privy to the answer. At other times the opposite is true. I know of those who sadly believe that if they didn’t see or hear of it, it doesn’t exist. Many have never seen the ocean; but, I have, and submarines do exist. :wink:
Mrs. FSB and I have talked about these strange things and have noticed a few crazy things with Siri for example. It has been reported and acknowledged that many from the CIA to Apple or Amazon or Google or. . . are or have been listening in. My assumption is that because there is far more text, it too is being read more often than we know. Sophisticated hardware can screen it all with keywords, phrases and such. Then there are key loggers that can monitor your keystrokes. There is no shortage of how, why, and with who these text technologies occur. There is voice to text, text to voice, and an untold variety of methods. Hackers can be independent, contracted, or automated. It might be as simple as a preset that triggers an application. Even I have made simple programming that can do that, Think macros for example. All in all this procedure is pretty simple to complicated.

Whether analytics, a nuisance, a joke, or other, the above text manipulation is organized in a strategic placing and not spiritual or alien for now, and that is the answer I’ll go with for this event, and if not I’ll be up all night and tomorrow and the next day and . .
I’m hoping others here have had similar written experience. I like to share. :)
I’ll tell you this. My father feared Ouji boards with him having experienced them as a child, he was well traveled, well read, educated, and not particularly superstitious.

Perhaps, we all have our own contacts, or not. Some day we may find out, but will we recognize it or will it recognize us? Not if I look like I do in the morning. :P
Cue the bass player.

Gary, I've had many experiences but none with writing. I've known you long enough to never distrust your honesty and integrity. I, for one, believe what you have said.

I've made many forays into the deep/dark web using special software that is supposed to make me virtually invisible. I believe this software makes me invisible to most, but not all. The purpose of my forays has been truth and fact finding. I am, of course, not into anything malicious.

What I have found is a vast amount of jumbled information. I've spent dozens of hours sifting through this pile of information/disinformation to find a few sites that I deemed worthy of further attention. However, these sites can come and go overnight and it's difficult/impossible to find them again.

The reason I bring this up is because I believe that information about things that you spoke is "out there". It's there for anyone to find, if they search hard enough.

It's a strange world and universe, so a lot of things can happen that you can't really explain. I've dealt with a lot of things, myself. As for the Area 51, who knows what's going on there? I'm sure it's something. I also doubt as big and vast as the universe is, we are the only ones in it. As for Ouija boards, I don't recommend messing with those, either. They could be portals that can open and let stuff in that you don't want around.

Thanks, for the confidence fellas, and your observations. I appreciate it.

I was always a curious kid surrounded by microscopes, radio kits, magic kits, telescopes, chemistry kits before schooling of the same, and a lot of cool stuff and books brought from overseas. Living by the ocean was a great experience. Other than that I was just weird, but not particularly smart. :lol:
One day I was reading about molecules and I noticed how there were spaces with electrons and neutrons running about, and generally exhibiting crazy action and interaction with the whole works.

Hmm? Lemme see. That coffee table has molecules. I have molecules. If I time it right my finger or even a small part should be able to penetrate it, but timing will require patience which I have a lot of. After bruising my digitus secundus manus I gave up that cockamamie theory. I missed the part about size and density. In fact I missed the whole point, :shock:

That whole deep/dark web is well . . . deep and dark. I knew of some old school methods of spying with software, but never got into it. My discoveries were when three of us in 3 different countries tracked down a hacker in Europe. It took hours with DOS. Be careful, Marky. Society is quite different in a global world today, and it’s not as big as you may think. You wouldn’t want to PO a neighbour. If you do dabble on it remember there’s safety in numbers, and you might consider recording sites to read later (not sitting on them) or dividing the research amongst several interested parties and their computers.

Best to not do it at all, however. It can be addictive, and many will wait for the right moment to do their dirty deed. Works both ways though. except the regulars will have an advantage.

Still it can stir the curiosity and creative juices, :wink:

Paul: I’ve never used a Ouija board, but it’s amazing how many have or know of them. Hard to say if they are as popular as ever, We have Gypsy’s, and fortune tellers, psychics, clairvoyants and the lot including conventions of the same. I don’t use them.

I have a hard enough time sorting out the coincidences, the analytics, the chance of my being psychic without having ability or control of forecasting, and reality. I think being superstitious and suspicious is closely related, but a fine line separates them.

I do see these strange occurrences happening more often than in the past, but as social media and data sharing has increased it would make sense that this is a big influence on those happenings. But, all? Can’t say. Perhaps, life’s experience, changes, and age has some bearing, and if we look around us there are examples of it too. Both normal and strange.

I think you are right, Marky. It’s the search and ye shall find. Maybe. It helps if you know how and where, but mostly what to look for - if it’s available. :wink:
- Gary

I used to have a microscope and a chemistry set when I was kid (yet another thing that also disappeared and I don't know what happened to from my childhood. :P) The microscope wasn't nothing to elaborate, but it more or less still worked. Probably was more like a toy than the actual thing. As for the chemistry set, I also had a neighborhood childhood friend who also had one and we were inspired by that one Star Trek episode with the Gorn, where Kirk was on the planet where he had all of the elements to make gunpowder and bamboo to make a cannon with, since we both had those sets, and I had bamboo growing in the backyard. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on your perspective, we didn't have all three ingredients to make gunpowder, so we couldn't do that. I was going to load it up in the back alley of my parents house and see if it would shoot off, not actually realizing the serious potential risk of what could go wrong, since I was probably 8 years old. I could have blown up my dad's truck, the neighbor's detached garage that was near there, or ourselves. :roll: Maybe that's why they didn't include everything in those chemistry sets. :P The funny thing about that, despite the fact I didn't realize the risk of doing that, I did have enough sense not to mess with my dad's guns that he had locked up in a cabinet, and I did know where he had the key to it. That's one thing I never did, although ironically that would have been safer, as long as they weren't pointed at anyone. I'm not so sure about igniting gunpowder stuffed in some bamboo tube, though.

:lol: That was the beauty of those old chemistry sets. Every kids’s dream was to blow something up with household supplements. I saved and bought my own kit against my parents wishes. Afraid of me burning down the house with a Bunsen burner, they were right, I shook ‘em up wth a mild explosion. Can’t remember what it was. Prolly meth. :shock: :lol:

The last microscope I saw could be hooked up to a PC & monitor. That would be cool to zoom in and record with. 8)
Back to the topic, I watched a band today and the dude had a Gretsch bass. Whatta ya think about those?

I used to take apart everything I could find to see how it worked. Radios, clocks, TV's and small appliances seemed to be in great supply. I learned how much electricity can be stored in capacitors the hard way. :roll: I had a chemistry set, too. I remember it was a metal case that was hinged into three sections. I loved looking at everything I could find under the microscope. Mine had "the good stuff" to make gun powder along with detailed instructions. Gary and I are both older than you are Paul so they still put that stuff in chemistry sets back then.

I loved to read medical books. My best friend's parents were both doctors and more than willing to let me borrow any books that interested me. I read many medical books and looked up all the words that I didn't know. It turns out that it gave me a great jump start into my career in Diagnostic Radiology.

OK, back on topic. I did play my Les Paul and SG but I keep coming back to my Strats. The Gibsons are fine guitars but there's something about the Strat that just feels right for me. I especially like my newest Player Series Strat.
