Michael Shermer's Vision

Michael Shermer has not always been a skeptic; or at least he has not been a skeptic in the way most of us mean it, a dedicated skeptic for whom being one is central to his identity. In 1979 he became a cycle racer and competed several times in the Race Across America, one of the world's longest and toughest cycle races. As its name suggests, it is a three thousand mile route from the west to east coasts of the United States. Unlike the Tour De France, it is a non-stop race, not split into stages, in which the riders sleep for about one hour in the middle of each night on a bed in their team truck. The entire route takes about eight days. Shermer came third in the 1982 event, his best performance. As I've said previously, Shermer's path to skepperhood is an interesting one. He was in the 1983 race cycling through the Loveland Pass in Colorado. He was extremely tired, as you can imagine, and also at a high altitude, about 11,000 feet. As a result he experienced an altered state of consciousness. Many people who suddenly have these experiences out of the blue turn to mystical beliefs as a way to explain it, but Shermer didn't. He thinks he immediately understood the episode for what it was and decided to learn about psychology. This is a very different reaction to Susan Blackmore, even though they both eventually ended up at the same place, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2010/10/tam-london-2010.html. I've discovered a remarkable historical document in the story of Michael Shermer. It's a news clip in which a young Shermer with a brown beard is interviewed in the saddle. It is later in the race because he's on a bridge across the river Mississippi and he describes his experience. He says: "A very strange thing happened; I mean, like a psychotic type experience. Thinking my crew were aliens from another planet trying to capture me. Sounds ridiculous, but that's what I thought." Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2_1DofIVqg. He also mentions the incident in this more recent video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zugGYmC6b00. Also he brings up another incident connected to one of his fellow cyclists. It's strange to think Michael Shermer might be taking the opposite path to Susan Blackmore, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-shermerlution-continues.html.

Ranging Needed on 3I/Atlas

 

Today Avi Loeb has reproduced some spectacular new photographs of 3I/Atlas; you can see one of them above. At the same time its unusual properties continue to pile up. There are now officially twelve anomalies. The most recent is the nature of the tails; they are not reacting to 3I's supposed rotation. This rotation was gauged pre-perihelion at 16.6 hours. There are only a few possibilities listed by Avi and the most likely is that the tails are the product of some kind of technology; thrusters a bit like human rockets. Personally what would really surprise me is if 3I did something normal! Source: https://medium.com/@avi-loeb/magnificent-images-of-jets-around-3i-atlas-e4ad8acc723c. It has occurred to me that maybe now is a good time for us to corroborate the distance between the earth and 3I/Atlas. Astronomers employ three different methods to work out how far away a heavenly body is. The first is used for distant stars and galaxies and it involves measuring how bright objects look which are known to have a "standard candle", a fixed absolute brightness level. The second is parallax, seeing how something's position shifts relative to more distant objects by taking measurements at different times of the year. The earth's rotation gives us a stereoscopic view of the universe. This works on planets and closer stars. The third method can only be used for asteroids and comets very close to the earth and that is radar ranging. This works the same as it does on earth with military or aviation primary radar, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2024/05/mh370-portal.html. Is 3I close enough for radar ranging, and if so has anybody done it? This may sound like an odd question, but I think it's worth carrying out this test just in case the object is actively manoeuvring to hide its true distance from the earth with forced perspective. This is an optical illusion that can be induced deliberately or can happen spontaneously. Artificial forced perspective is used in movie special effects, for example to make the hobbits and humans seem to be their true relative sizes in the Lord of The Rings films when the actors playing them are all ordinary sized people, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB8db3PMZ9s. The effect can occur naturally by accident when filming something moving from another moving position. This is what causes the strange incidence of aeroplanes standing still in the sky. They're often blamed on "glitches in reality", but they are in fact simply a moment of perfectly balanced forced perspective, see:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1MRaHjwfSM. Why would 3I/Atlas do this? Well, possibly so it could move closer to the earth without us noticing, or at least delaying the time when we are aware of its approach for as long as possible. If this is its current activity it might explain some of the other anomalies, like its rapidly increasing pulses of brightness. Therefore, I do recommend that astronomers do some radar ranging tests on 3I/Atlas until we are certain that it is indeed exiting the inner solar system as it is predicted to do.

GB News EVP

 

GB News is really the British equivalent of News Nation. It's a typical independent three-digit freeview news channel that was founded in 2020, quite recently. It has attracted a lot of controversy over the years that I've covered before, for example: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/05/gb-news-vs-ofcom.html. Like News Nation, it is not scared to delve into the world of the arcane, but it might have recently done just that inadvertently. On the 1st of this month a train from Doncaster to London had to make an unscheduled stop at Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire because a man wielding a knife had gone on a rampage, stabbing the passengers and crew. The police arrested him and ambulances rushed to the station to treat the victims. Ten people were injured, most with life-threatening injuries. GB News reported on it and I like their style because, unlike the BBC and most mainstream outlets, they don't immediately start politicizing crimes like this; but then something strange happened. In the middle of a video segment narrated by a reporter, a whispering feminine voice can clearly be heard saying the words: "The train never stops." It appears at 5:46 in this recording: https://youtu.be/4ZdKjYjWtcE?si=g74Jalx5JQNvE2Fb&t=344. The reporter, Mark White, does not appear to hear it. When I first watched this I didn't notice it; and in fact I covered the stabbing incident on this Third Rail Radio episode without mentioning the voice: http://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2025/11/third-rail-radio-programme-227.html, which is ironic considering that project has itself experienced something similar, see the background links below. What happened sounds to me like an electronic voice phenomenon. EVP is one of the most common kinds of paranormal phenomena, but it is also one of the most inexplicable. Most EVP's are vague and full of noise, possibly being only interpreted as a voice afterwards, but this one is very clear and articulate; that's quite rare. I'll write to GB News and ask because I'm curious to know if this voice is unique to the YouTube upload or whether it also can be heard on the original broadcast tape. I'll write a follow-up if they reply.

HPANWO Cyberattack

 

There has been an attempt to hack the HPANWO web pages and my personal computers. I was engaged in my normal activity yesterday when I received a warning email that I had been locked out of all HPANWO platforms. This was not because the hack was successful; the opposite in fact. Luckily the system had detected the Trojan and secured my accounts before any changes to settings could be made. I was then advised to change my passwords and carry out an antivirus scan. I did both and my antivirus did indeed pick up the malware that had probably caused it. I use a subscription antivirus and I really recommend that; it is money very well spent. It's likely a free suite might not have spotted the danger. I'm using quite an old operating system, but I've enrolled in a special security extension until I upgrade my license permanently. I have everything backed up as well. As alarming as this experience has been, the fact that I know it happened is the good news. If a hack works the target will never find out until it's too late. This sort of thing has never happened to me before. Is there a reason why it happened now? Was it a person doing it deliberately? Probably not; these attacks are very often carried out on millions of users by automated systems. I'm now taking additional precautions and hopefully there will be no more trouble.

MH370 Possible New Search

 

Back in March there was a lot of excitement in the quest for the lost airliner Malaysia Airlines flight 370. Ocean Infinity had just begun its search in the best estimated area for the location of the wreck, the so-called "7th arc"; given that name because of the INMARSAT data. This search was hampered by two problems, the upcoming southern winter and the endurance of the ship. From April to November the southern Indian Ocean becomes very rough and cold. Storms and floating ice make locating and salvage impossible. OI's Armada 86-class vessels are very modern and capable, with facilities for deploying AUV's, robot submarines like the one illustrated above; but operating alone in mid-ocean without a network of supply ships last time meant it could only spend about a fortnight on station and it took almost as much time to get to and from port. See the background link below for details. As luck would have it Jeff Wise has a very reliable contact called Kevin Rupp who seems to know a lot of the private goings on at OI. Based on current operations and ship movements it is possible they are preparing to head for the MH370 search area in early December when the summer begins and the weather tends to me more clement, save the occasional typhoon. Source: https://www.deepdivemh370.com/p/seabed-search-update-s2ep41-video. Of course, like regular readers, I am well aware that Jeff has serious doubts that the missing aircraft really did crash into the Indian Ocean. Two of his fellow MH37-tologists, Florence de Changy and Ashton Forbes, agree with him; although Florence thinks the plane never left the Gulf of Thailand and Ashton believes it ended up at the Diego Garcia base. Jeff still feels positive about this new development because it's important to reduce the possibility that MH370 is there as much as possible; although you can never eliminate it. Hopefully we will learn more next month.

NASA Breaks its Silence on 3I/Atlas

 

Even in the midst of this suspiciously convenient US government shutdown NASA have finally made a statement about the "comet" 3I/Atlas. This is actually not the first time the National Aeronautics and Space Administration have spoken out. Its acting head Sean Duffy replied to an inquisitive Tweet by Kim Kardashian. That is strange behaviour seeing as Avi Loeb tried to write to him requesting the HiRISE data and received no reply. Anna Paulina Luna repeated this in a formally worded political demand, but she was also ghosted. It's a bad sign when a public official ignores a scientist and member of Congress, but happily indulges the whims of a superannuated reality TV star. Source: https://x.com/SecDuffyNASA/status/1984011464961880441. However, they have now revealed more in an article by Brandi Vincent of Defence Scoop. NASA explains that their skeleton crew have indeed been monitoring the interstellar object as it moves through the solar system. I assume this includes the long sought after photos taken as it passed Mars. The Chinese space agency has released its own images of 3I from the Tianwen 1 orbiter, but their camera only has a 38 inch reflector; not as good as NASA's 50 inch one. They also say they will connect with "at least one congressional lawmaker" on Wednesday next week, which I assume means Ms Luna. NASA also have promised to release all relevant findings, data and observations once the US government reopens. Unfortunately at the moment there are no signs this is going to happen anytime soon, see: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c20ez8y0dv1t. Source: https://defensescoop.com/2025/11/04/3i-atlas-comet-us-government-monitoring-mysterious-interstellar-object. The latest news on 3I simply adds to the burgeoning mystery. A new image of the object, illustrated above, is one of the most detailed yet taken and comes from the astronomer Michael Jäger and his two colleagues. It shows a coma and tail, a much smaller one than Avi said it would need to explain the non-gravitational accelleration; however it has other interesting features. The emissions have a complex structure separated into a distinct series of plumes or jets, some away from the sun, some towards. In this way, 3I looks similar to how it appeared in the Hubble photos. Avi has done an interesting new interview on News Nation where he asks whether these jets are some form of engineering. They do indeed resemble human rocket exhaust. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQ8tRs1Zg5g. The title of the video is pretty stark: Is 3I/ATLAS revving an engine?. If so, what will happen should it throttle up?

Our Dave is Back!

 

I'm pleased to say that the latest beneficiary of the Great Unbanning is David Icke. He has had his YouTube channel restored; hopefully the rest of his social media will follow. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvEu1X541eA. He was a victim of the "full spectrum cancellation" of May 2020 that I reported on at the time, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2020/05/david-icke-full-spectrum-cancellation.html. This is the most recent in a series of welcome returns to YouTube that include Jordan Sather, Stefan Molyneux and Dave Cullen, see background links below. All these people were deprived of their social media presence very unfairly and I'm glad the censors have lost this battle. Of course this makes little difference to me personally because I've been following all those people all these years on alt-tech anyway. I don't know if this is a sign of long-term progress or just a temporary withdrawal by the forces of Big Brother tyranny, but time will tell. In the meantime David should just enjoy this victory, as should we all. Welcome back, Our Dave!

Area 51 Crash

 

A few weeks ago there was an incident near Area 51 that has only just now reached the news. It took place on September the 23rd and the only reason we know about it is thanks to that tireless observer Joerg Arnu of Dreamland Resort, see: https://www.dreamlandresort.com. He spends a lot of his time with a radio scanner monitoring conversations between military units in the location, those that are not encrypted of course. He woke up one morning, switched the scanner on and heard: "We just had an asset go down. We had an asset go down... All foot patrols be advised. There's a UAV, unmanned. Unmanned aircraft with ordnance." This is surprisingly candid. Not only are they communicating on an open channel, they are using normal terminology without codewords. Either they're being very careless or they wanted Joerg and other people to hear them. Even leaving aside security concerns, it is a major legal problem when an armed aircraft crashes on public land in the United States. He also heard details of the security operation and drove to the location to see what he could find out. Sure enough, there were armed guards on the Groom Lake Road and "Black Mailbox" road. He saw that a transport helicopter had arrived to pick something up and take it away. The cleanup operation lasted four days. Before leaving, the crew added some extra topsoil to the scene, as if wanting to bury any pieces of debris they might have missed. They did the same thing in Nottinghamshire in 1987, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2014/02/notts-roswell-2.html. The locals around the base have experienced this kind of cover-up many times before, ever since the days of the U2 in the 1950's. Annie Jacobsen's book is a good source for details, see the background link below. Source: www.everythinglubbock.com/news/national/unknown-object-crash-near-area-51-fuels-cover-up-claims/.

What's even more interesting is that after doing what sounds to me like baiting Joerg Arnu and other Area 51 researchers into investigating, they started spreading active disinformation. Creech Air Force Base, which lies about twenty miles south of Area 51 and is home to a squadron of drones, released a public statement explaining that the aircraft that came down was one of theirs. The FBI also came to investigate people supposedly "littering" at the crash site; depositing fake debris in other words. Joerg thinks this is a bogus story intended to discourage people going there. He also realized that the initial crash site was a decoy, not the real crash site. If that is the case then despite the fact that Joerg initially reacted to the alert, this kind of diversion can backfire very badly, as I've explained before in my "two bank robbers" analogy, see the background link below. What actually did crash? Joerg has always been a staunch skeptic when it comes to aliens, but in this case I agree with him. It probably was an experimental aircraft, maybe an autonomous drone controlled by artificial intelligence. There was a "notice-to-airmen" a few days earlier from the Federal Aviation Administration that the usual Area 51 no-fly zone would be extended temporarily on that date and I expect that and the crash are connected. We will only find out what happened there when the project is declassified and that can take decades. Some of the information in Annie's 2011 book is first-time exclusive.

Pension Age Rises Again

 

The UK government has announced that the pension age is set to rise once more. This refers to the age a person can retire on the state pension scheme. For many decades it remained at sixty-five for men and sixty for women. Then in 1995 women were equalized with men at sixty-five. In 2007 it was decided this should rise to sixty-eight in 2046, but subsequent parliaments accelerated that process making it sixty-six by 2020. They now say it will rise to sixty-seven in 2026, just six years. At this rate it will be sixty-eight by the end of the decade, sixteen years early. The reason given is because human life expectancy in the country has risen considerably through the 20th century. The government are concerned about the financial sustainability of the scheme. The earlier people stop work the less premiums there are in the NIF- National Insurance Fund that pays for most of the state pension. The longer people live the more money is needed to support them, so it's a perfect storm. Source: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/gad-and-the-state-pension-age-review. The NIF can be subsidized from the general exchequer, but the government keep whining that they "don't have the resources!" This sounds similar to when they tell us they don't have enough resources to keep hospitals running or fixing the potholes in the roads. Why? Are they running out of cash? Is taxation somehow still too low when they keep putting it up and up and up; and an incredible forty-five percent of capital in circulation is currently forfeit to the state? (In other nations it's even higher!) What else are they spending all that money on? Well, we know some of the answers: losing foreign wars, paying off banks, MP's expenses, CCTV networks and migrant hotels. This makes me wonder, as somebody fairly young, whether I'll ever receive any state pension at all. It's like running in a race, but the finish line keeps advancing into the distance and you never reach it before you collapse with exhaustion. Therefore is it worth paying National Insurance at all? I know it's compulsory if you're earning above a certain income, but I'm talking hypothetically. Why fork out eight pounds a week for your entire working life so you can receive your first cheque when you're almost on your deathbed? Better to put the money into a private pension or savings account. Honestly, what high street insurance broker could get away with such a terrible deal: "You keep paying us and we might pay you... maybe... if we feel like it; and if we don't decide to change the conditions of the policy unilaterally."? There's also worrying signs that British life expectancy will not keep on rising forever. The causes of this are manyfold, socio-economic, cultural and psychological; and this is not to mention certain infectious diseases and their supposed prevention measures. The late great Ian R Crane used to say, in semi-jest, that in the future, photos of retired men playing golf will only be found in history books. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylsvlyntgeQ. The way I see it, at my age, is that by the time I'm old enough to worry about my pension I'll either be living in the post-Illuminati world, in which case I won't need it; or we'll be under the jackboot of the New World Order, in which case I'll be dead.
