In July of 2001, George Ure of UrbanSurvival fame published an urgent heads-up from a then-unnamed cybermonk in the Pacific Northwest. Apparently, this human had technology that could predict the future by scouring public forums and interweb chatter finding patterns in what people wrote.
This technology, now widely known as clif high’s webbots, parked at key internet portals, and using a pre-determined lexicon, scraped chatter by collecting a handful of words before and after the key words. The data was then fed into a complex algorithm to analyze context and connotation, which produced a three-dimensional “model space” of linguistic clusters with webs of interconnections to other clusters whose emotional intensity progressed through time.
The result was a kind of Nostradamus-like haiku poetry that could be interpretted as forecasting events, and their position on the model space timeline produced rough horizons and proximities for when events would happen. The rendering also produced “marker” events that acted like road signs pointing to the significant event just ahead.
Back to July 2001, George published clif’s warning that in mid-September of that year, a major event would occur. Their warning highlighted a significant global event expected in September 2001. They suggested it would involve massive emotional intensity and upheaval, which they speculated could be related to financial markets, warfare, or a large-scale disaster. Clif’s original intent was to predict market movements to make money — a fine capitalist endeavor.
Meanwhile, the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) program, which included the Global Consciousness Project (GCP), reported unusual findings related to the events of 11 September 2001. The GCP used random event generators (REGs)—commonly referred to as "EGGs"—to study whether major global events could affect random number generation, possibly reflecting a form of collective human consciousness.
The EGG network recorded significant deviations from randomness starting several hours before the first plane struck the World Trade Center. These deviations persisted throughout the day. The project's director, Dr. Roger Nelson, interpreted the results as evidence of a global emotional or consciousness response to the catastrophic events.
A particularly eerie prediction appeared in the pilot episode of The Lone Gunmen pilot episode (March 2001), a spin-off from The X-Files. The storyline involved a plot to hijack a commercial airplane and crash it into the World Trade Center as part of a false-flag operation. Although fictional, the similarities to 9/11 later gained widespread attention.
I added this last bit to point out my contention that creativity comes from a universal stream of consciousness that clif high, the Princeton EGGs and the writers of The Lone Gunmen were all tapped into.
Anyway, to gloss over a quarter-century of history, clif began producing his ALTA reports, which documented the output of his webbots. The reports culminated in 2016, with the concept of a time wall in 2021, concurrent with an “ill wind that circles the planet nine times,” beyond which things got too chaotic to make much sense.
Throughout the ALTA reports, there were significant “hits,” that unambiguously described future events, including timing (e.g. NE Blackout, Chinese Wedding), and many others that appeared to be spot on, but that the language was just vague enough to allow for interpretation (Shuttle Disaster, Dog Poet). All of this brings us to the current situation.
In 2009, the ALTA reports described a “marker” — a major political figure in a conversation with another male with the word “pod” associated with the event. Though the word “podcasting” was coined by The Guardian’s Ben Hammersley in 2004, it didn’t enter the mass lexicon until 2015 or so. Podcasts were previously being referred to as RSS feeds.
This event was described by clif as a marker for a countdown (39 days) to a period of time when there would be significant global upheaval, especially related to UFOs/UAPs. Clif and many folks who take his work very seriously interpretted the “pod” event to be the Trump/Rogan interview, which I’ve pointed out in other articles is currently the third most-streamed podcast in history (#2 is Bob Lazar, and #1 is Elon Musk). Precisely 39 days later, a wave of “drone” sightings, particularly over New Jersey, USA, but more or less worldwide, is becoming headline news, even in the GeezerMedia and among Congresscritters.
There are currently significant reports of large “drones” over New Jersey, Lakenheath in the UK, Es Vedra, Ibiza, Spain, Malang, East Java, Ramstein, Germany, and Sydney Harbour in Australia. All seem to be clustering around US military bases or activities.
To be objective, this type of thing goes back to the Phoenix lights in 1997, Colorado/Nebraska in 2019, Oahu, Hawai’i in 2021, and Mumbai, India in 2023.
The timing in relation to a “pod” event and specifically forecasted to involve UFOs/UAPs is notable, as is the “39 days” countdown.
I have not found any consistent reports of sounds associated with the “SUV-sized” objects, and they are commonly seen flying in patterns or formations. This is not conclusive data in any case, but worth noting. Drones, especially of the size described, emit a distinctive buzzing sound, have the required green/red lights fore and aft, and flight times less than one hour. This doesn’t rule out zeppelin-style drones that are much quieter and have extremely long flight times.
Clif interprets these events as part of a long-term revelation of extraterrestrial intelligence, though he does mention that some of the objects are terrestrial back-engineered technology. Objectively, there are a lot of assumptions based on personal biases in clif’s views. I cannot speak to this point, since I have no personal knowledge of off-world species, though as Carl Sagan said, if there aren’t any others, it would be a terrible waste of space.
Here’s what I can say: I have personally benefitted financially, mentally and physically from information I received from clif. I have found that betting in favor of his forecasts, regardless of how improbable they sound at first, is worthwhile more often than not. Fortune favors the prepared mind. In many cases, I have found myself mentally prepared for shocking events, and thus able to function when others could not, due to warnings from clif.
Most people are predisposed to normalcy bias, and we tend to reject information that is too far outside our daily experience. I am not immune to it, though I am more open than most to unusual sources and data. As such, I am somewhat more prepared for shocking events, and I don’t tend to panic in any case — a character trait that has benefitted me professionally and personally in times of crisis.
I find it suspect that heightened UFO/UAP activity, and possibly alien contact, should occur in close proximity to Grover’s Mill, New Jersey. This is the location of the Martian invasion in Orson Welles’ brilliant radio adaptation of “War of the Worlds,” in 1938. Coincidences always peg my suspect-o-meter.
Regardless, I have prepared my mind for the possibility, though I assign a fairly low probability. Clif’s work is only one of several sources aligned on this topic, and all deal with tapping into universal consciousness, of which I am a firm believer. I cannot (yet) confirm these predictions, but neither can I rule them out. In all cases, the period of upheaval is expected to continue through February 2025.
Thus, I opt to wait for further confirmation or refutation. If one assumes that in the Universe of All Things, all things are possible, then what remains is to assign probability of any given thing existing in any given point in time and space.
I figure Humanity encountering an alien intelligence is ultimately inevitable. That it would occur in my lifetime seems highly unlikely, but the idea is tantalizing. I have felt for a very long time that we are in an historical nexus with fundamental changes occurring in human history and development. Contact with alien species would certainly qualify.
I, for one, am enjoying the mystery. I am entertained by “official” types falling over themselves to confirm and/or deny what are clearly real objects. I love watching the GeezerMedia get distracted from their usual brainwashing activities. My advice, to myself as much as anyone else, is to sit back and watch the show. I suspect it will get quite exciting in the near future.
=====
Orson Welles has been a personal inspiration and mentor throughout my career, and Citizen Kane (1941) is by far one of the greatest films ever made. One important lesson I got from War of the Worlds (1938) was to never trust the media, and it has served well (see COVID). The Battle Over Citizen Kane (1996) is one of the best documentaries I’ve seen on what it’s like to be a visionary in a world of mediocrity.

A few thoughts in response.
1. The show was "the Lone Gunmen" not singular, because they wanted to emphasise the facts of the conspiracy to murder JFK.
2. There is a radar operator who came forward recently and reported that the military has pre-arranged a lockdown of all radar systems and reporting thereof, coincident with the current ongoing reports of "drones" in the skies in various places around the USA. Same person also reported that unreported space satellite launches have been occurring for a few weeks now and these are supposedly meant to provide outer space representatives of the planned and choreographed "close encounters." So, we'll see what we see, and not believe what we're told by the hoax stream media.
Again.
Still.
I made a vow this year that if I come across a crashed alien craft and the poor fuckers are still alive then I shall take them in and hide them from the gummint.
