The Coast to Coast thread... with George Noory
This is a radio show that Rip-Plugger listens to. I believe some other members here may listen to it as well.
I'm not really familiar with it, but have been checking out the feeds. Some of the stuff they report on doesn't get adequate coverage in the local media.
I'm putting it here in case anyone wants to comment on some of the discussions or articles they're putting out. I'm puttiing it in the main forum because it seems they also talk about fishing issues from time-to-time.
I may not always be able to follow or comment on the shows, but have no problem with you members commenting on or posting articles up here to bring to the attention of others. :thumbsup:
Coast to Coast is an AM radio show, maybe Roddy can fill you in as to the broadcast times.

Lobsters in Long Island Sound
Sent in by Rip-Plugger, thanks!
long island sound:
lobsters are dying off in huge numbers,their shells
are falling off and they are dying.she said that the study shows that some kind of bi-phenyls from plastic containers like water bottles is inhibiting shell growth.
testing of lobsters in western LIS shows that 55% of the lobsters
checked had elevated levels of this chemical in their bodies!
*************
I confirmed that independently with this article:
Lobsters In LI Sound Suffering From Shell Disease
August 23, 2010
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — Scientists say they're not sure why about 30 percent of lobsters in eastern Long Island Sound have a disease that's causing their shells to waste away.
Researchers say the main question is why the lobsters can't defend themselves against the bacterial attack of shell disease, which doesn't affect their meat but usually lands them in canning factories because of their unsightly shells.
Hans Laufer, a University of Connecticut research professor of molecular and cellular biology, told the Connecticut Post that chemicals known as alkylphenols that are used to make plastics and detergents are being found in lobster body tissues.
Laufer says the chemicals are toxic and interfere with lobsters' shell development.
Other scientists are looking at bacterial agents.

A Polish man living in Germany went about his business for about five years without noticing he had been shot in the head because he was drunk when it happened.
Police in the western city of Bochum said on Tuesday doctors found a .22 caliber bullet in the back of his head after the 35-year-old went to have what he thought was a cyst removed.
Presented with the 5.6mm projectile, the man recalled he had received a blow to the head around midnight at a New Year's party "in 2004 or 2005", but had forgotten about it because he had been "very drunk," a police spokesman said.
"He told us he remembered having a sore head, but that he wasn't really one for going to the doctor," the spokesman said.
The wound later healed around the bullet and it was not until the man decided to have the lump examined due to recurring pains that the discovery was made.
Police said they were not treating the incident as suspicious as the bullet might have got lodged in the man's head when a reveler fired a gun in celebration.
"It may have been a shot fired up in the air which entered his head on the way down," the spokesman said.
The resident of Herne, who has lived in Germany for several years, was expected to be released from hospital later this week after the bullet was removed on Friday, police said.
Human mutilations,cattle too,,,
2005,Cairo Egypt,3 families found dead in diff areas.
the males had their testicles removed through the penis along with the prostate!
just below the navel a 1.5 inch circle is cut and the upper intestines were removed trough the hole!
the anus had a 6 inch cut next to it and the lower intestine was removed.
no word on any female member only that all were dead.
Cattle:,a healthy cow was found near the base of a mountain in montana.
it's udder was removed precisely,no blood,no tracks.
it's anus was cut out perfectly with no bleeding.
the stomach was untouched.
the oddest thing was that this cow had every bone in it's body shattered,even 3 of it's hooves had cracks!!!
pictures of this were shown to a brain surgeon,,,he said"holy shitt!,I am not that good and I am inside of a persons brain!"

Another UFO Closes Chinese Airport
October 05, 2010
http://www.coasttocoastam.com/cimage...cle_medium.jpg
Another UFO has forced the closure of a Chinese airport. On Sept. 11, 2010, an airport in Inner Mongolia shut down for an hour, when a "flat and tubular" object hovered nearby. For more on the incident, visit LiveScience. Pictured is a cylindrical UFO seen over Watervliet, NY in 2009.
How did this happen? UFOs or some other explanation?
Sent in by Rip-plugger, thanks.
I'm still not sure how this happened but saw it on several news sites.
I thought about it a bit. Some say it could be an extra-terrestrial life force. My thinking goes toward 2 possible scenarios:
1. Some type of lightning or weather based mass killing. I have some doubts about that because of the sheer numbers of birds that were killed. I still consider it as a possibility.
2. A shock wave or some type of sonic weapon that the military was testing in that area. I know people with military service who say when pods of whales get off course, it's because the military (navy) has been doing high-tech sonar experiments in the area, which effs with the sonar of the whales.
You're never going to get any admissions by this from the military. Hey, I understand the need to keep things like this classified. However, doing so sometimes lends stupport to other theories. People don't have all the answers, so they begin to fill in the blanks with other plausible theories. Or, they make things up to fit their perception of the environment around them. I like science-based explanations because to me, they're the easiest to accept. They fit a logical pattern, if you can explain things that way.
JMO, other opinions welcome.
Here's the story:
msnbc.com staff and news service reports
3:23 PM EST January 3, 2011
Preliminary autopsies on 17 of the up to 5,000 blackbirds that fell on this town indicate they died of blunt trauma to their organs, the state's top veterinarian told NBC News on Monday.
Their stomachs were empty, which rules out poison, Dr. George Badley said, and they died in midair, not on impact with the ground.
That evidence, and the fact that the red-winged blackbirds fly in close flocks, suggests they suffered some massive midair collision, he added. That lends weight to theories that they were startled by something.
Earlier Monday, the estimated number of dead birds was raised to between 4,000 and 5,000, up sharply from the initial estimate of 1,000.
Keith Stephens, a spokesman for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, provided the new numbers.
Residents of the small town of Beebe awoke Saturday to find thousands of dead blackbirds littering a 1.5-square-mile area. The birds inexplicably dropped dead, landing on homes, cars and lawns.
Violent weather rumbled over much of the state Friday, including a tornado that killed three people in Cincinnati, Ark. Lightning could have killed the birds directly or startled them to the point that they became confused. Hail also has been known to knock birds from the sky.
The director of Cornell University's ornithology lab in Ithaca, N.Y., said the most likely suspect is violent weather. It's probable that thousands of birds were asleep, roosting in a single tree, when a "washing machine-type thunderstorm" sucked them up into the air, disoriented them, and even fatally soaked and chilled them.
"Bad weather can occasionally catch flocks off guard, blow them off a roost, and they get hurled up suddenly into this thundercloud," lab director John Fitzpatrick said.
Rough weather had hit the state earlier Friday, but the worst of it was already well east of Beebe by the time the birds started falling, said Chris Buonanno, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in North Little Rock.
If weather was the cause, the birds could have died in several ways, Fitzpatrick said.

The Scariest Old Hag and other stories.......

Scariest Old Hag Experiences
http://0.tqn.com/d/paranormal/1/G/j/B/oldhag.gif The Old Hag paralyzes her victim.
Encounters with the Old Hag who grins, stares, pulls hair, strangles, and otherwise terrifies her victims
OLD HAG SYNDROME is a phenomenon in which you awake from sleep unable to move. You seem to be awake, but your body is paralyzed. As if this wasn't scary enough, these episodes are often accompanied by a feeling of an unknown presence in the room, strange sounds, and other mysterious manifestations. In the classic experience, the victim feels that an old woman in sitting on his chest, rendering him immobile and laboring to breathe.
To the medical world, the phenomenon is known as sleep paralysis combined with hypnopompic hallucinations. Those who experience the syndrome, however, are not easily convinced that what they see, hear, and feel are not real. And how can we explain when two or more people experience the phenomenon at the same time?
Here are some of the scariest old had experiences readers have reported.
BLACK-EYED HAG
It happened for the first time when I was 14. I couldn't move, didn't understand what it was. My most prominent time having to experience sleep paralysis was last year while lying in bed. I fell asleep pretty quick, but then woken up with the pressure of a hand on my right shoulder. When I could turn around, I saw the old hag! She had long, craggy gray hair, pale greenish face, long nose, and - creepiest of all - her eyes were all black. She smiled at me... then took off. That's when I snapped out of the paralysis. - OHS5
THE GRAY AND THE HAG
One night I left my windows open to let the breeze in. I don't remember falling to sleep, but I was paralyzed when I regained awareness. I remember seeing a black rain and could feel my body weighing five times its normal weight. I was sinking into the bed slightly. I turned my head and I saw what looked like an alien gray smiling at me.
It wasn't easy to move, but I slowly and forcefully crawled to the edge of my bed to fall off and hopefully wake up someone in the house.
I could feel its thoughts, as if they were connected to mine. I wasn't supposed to be moving, was the emotion I felt from the being, but I did. I reached the edge, falling head first. When I hit the floor, I was awake in my bed face down, like I was when I first realized I was aware. My windows were still open and I could feel the breeze. - Lost Boy
CHOKING OLD HAG
I was sleeping one night when I suddenly awoke. The room was exactly as it was when I fell asleep. I couldn't move or scream. I saw an old, scary lady standing in front of my window. She quickly moved to me and started choking me! it seemed like at least 10 minutes before she let go and disappeared. I then could move and scream. I was terrified and would no longer sleep in that room. - bizzarre
THE WOLF FIGURE
I remember hearing a roaring sound in my ears and seeing a shadowy figure standing in the middle of my room either saying my name and laughing or just watching me. It was so real. I refused to sleep as a child, but whenever I told my mum, she didn't take me seriously... until it started chasing me. I could move at first and I would run round my room screaming and crying.
As I got older, it started to paralyze me and I couldn't move, apart from my eyes. I switched rooms because I thought it was the room, but it started to happen in that room, too, but now it was a wolf-type figure and it was on my chest. I felt safer sleeping at other people's houses, so I basically lived at my friend's house over that summer... until it started to happen there! Since then it has happened almost every week - for 2 years. - Snippy
EVIL GENERATES FROM HER
I am 42 and first had a nightmare about a terrifying witch at the age of 16. She kneels on my chest and stares into my face, slowly getting nearer and nearer. I am completely terrified. She wears a black cloak and hood. Her face is like a witch and evil generates from her, surrounds me from her. Other times, I can be lying on my stomach and she will creep her hand up the back of my head, down my face, and hook her fingers under my top teeth and pull my head back. Other times, she will bite, sit on the bed, knock the door, call my name, and generally scare the crap out of me. How can anyone explain this? - Jane.owen

Re: The Coast to Coast thread... with George Noory
^^^^^I thought I had a dream that one of those old hags visited me one night. It was while I was in college. I dreamed that she came into my dorm room, we had sex. I closed my eyes and it was good. :pig: Then I woke up in the morning figuring that it would be over. Turns out I had been extremely drunk and had picked up the 65 year old waitress at a local diner who came home with me after her shift. She looked only slightly better than the drawing above. Like a cross between that and the crypt keeper. God I was so glad to get her to leave and thankfully my dorm mates were gone for the weekend and didn't catch me with her. I could never go in that diner again till she stopped working there. Swore off drinking for a week after that.:scared:

:laugh: :clapping: Bababooey I applaud your honesty! Don't know if I would have the balls to mention that if it happened to me. Have had some beastly experiences with big women in college but none so scary as what you did. roflamo at that one! Crypt keeper lol
Re: The Coast to Coast thread... with George Noory
It was a long time ago steve. Things happen when you are blind drunk.:upck: Taught me to drink within my limits though that's for sure.
