Back to GAC

After taking a long hiatus, I am back on the GAC train.  I haven't seen much from the shows that aired before or after Nick left, but after playing a little catch up, I can see some possibilities as to why he may have decided to quit the show.

Zak has always been a big show off and that's partially why his fans love him. However, in a show I recently watched from Season 9 about the ghost town of Bannack, MT, he was acting like a prima donna, bossing Nick and Aaron around and snapping at them like a cranky schoolmarm (15:48 into the video below). In an interview with a man whose family originally lived in Bannack, Zak practically poses for the camera in a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses and black shirt with German crosses on it. If you click on the video below and go to the 8:45 mark, you can see what I'm referring to. As Zak is interviewing the guy, he starts to walk away from him, taking up most of the screen space. He may as well have done his best "Blue Steel".

In another show I watched recently, he nearly forces Nick to return to a house that was making him physically ill. This was the Oman house from Season 9 and one of the scariest Ghost Adventures episodes I've ever seen. The house's owner, David Oman (pretty interesting name, no?), wrote a film based on his experiences living in the house called The House at the End of the Drive.  The film is loosely based on the real events of August 9, 1969 when Sharon Tate and six others were murdered by the Manson family. Oman's house is right up the street from where the murders took place. He believes the houses' location, along with the fact that the house sits atop a geomagnetic anomaly and that it's also on top of a Native American burial ground are contributing to the strange things taking place at his residence. The most disturbing thing about the episode, however, is Oman. He seems weirdly comfortable living in a house that has such bad energy and almost seems like he gets a kick out of it.

Okay, getting back to Nick - it's the only episode I've ever seen in which all three guys leave a lockdown. They get physically ill, especially Nick, who is scratched by something unseen and experiences severe stomach pains. Right after he leaves the house, visibly upset, Zak presses him to go back inside, right back to the bedroom where he was scratched (See 34:42 in the video below). Being the nice guy he is, Nick complies with the ridiculous request. It was at this point I wanted to kick Zak's Ed Hardy-embellished butt. And from the looks of it, Nick did, too.

I love Zak as much as any GAC fan and will continue to watch Ghost Adventures, however, I think he needs a big fat slice of humble pie. Preferably shoved in his face by Nick.

Obama Administration and the Alien Nation

As promised, a press conference was held Monday at the National Press Building in Washington, DC to bring forth UFO activity in relation to nuclear weapon facilities in the 1960s. Robert Hastings, a UFO researcher, and former U.S. Air Force Captain, Robert Salas led the conference.

The forum included testimonies from seven former US Air Force personnel, one of which was Salas's story about his experience at Malstrom AFB's subterranean Oscar-Flight Launch Control Center (LCC) capsule near Roy, Montana.

The press conference led one researcher to believe that more of the same type of symposiums will be held during the Obama administration. Alfred Lambremont Webre, who writes for the Seattle Exopolitics Examiner, stated a similar opinion in Monday's issue:


“For the first time since the early days of the presidency of Barack Obama in 2009, a wave of scheduled or predicted events around the theme of ‘official’ disclosure of extraterrestrial life to the human civilization of Earth appears to be surging,” wrote Webre. “The early days of the Obama administration were rife with rumors that ET ‘disclosure is imminent’ and one observer predicted, ‘An official announcement by the Obama administration disclosing the reality of extraterrestrial life is imminent.’"

UFOs and Nuclear Bombs: It's Monday

According to this article in AOL News, years of silence will be broken today in Washington, DC when former U.S. Air Force officers come forward with information about UFOs at nuclear weapons sites.

According to the article, Air Force Capt. Robert Salas will host the press conference. Salas was a first lieutenant in 1967, and served as a missile-launch officer while stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana. He also co-authored Faded Giant - a book about the military and government's conspiracy to cover-up the existence of UFOs.

On March 16, 1967, Salas was working at a launch-control center equipped with ten nuclear missiles.

"I got a call from the topside guard, telling me they were watching some strange lights flying around in the sky, making odd maneuvers. They didn't think they were airplanes because they were going very fast, turning on a dime and not making a bit of noise," Salas told AOL News. "A few minutes later, he called back, this time screaming into the phone, scared to death, and he said, 'Sir, I'm looking out my front window and there is a glowing red oval-shaped object hovering right above the front gate, and I've got all the guards out here with their weapons drawn.' "

Salas said following the siting, the missiles were disabled.

He says he believes that if enough military personnel testify in the existence of extraterrestrials and share their experiences, the public will start to take UFOs more seriously. He claims that the people who will come forward today will be just the "tip of the iceberg."

Hopefully we will hear more about this late Monday and early Tuesday. Read the whole article here.
