Search for Family Journal

I have been searching for a family ledger that documents my family journey from North Carolina to Indiana, with no success. I have been stuck for about 2 yrs not looking and time is ticking for me and I am not getting any younger. My relative was a fairly well known author in the Chicago and had very successful writing career. I have searched his collection online at Northwest University and contacted some direct line relatives (no response or know nothing about it). Finding this would be my “Crown Jewel” of genealogy research. Was thinking about having a researcher go directly to NW and search. Any suggestions? (Fairly new to Reddit but what a neat and open social media app)

See excerpt below from the family’s website:

Cyrus James Colter
BIRTH 8 JAN 1910 • Noblesville, Hamilton, Indiana, USA
DEATH 15 APR 2002 • Evanston IL

**One relative, Cyrus J. Colter a well-known fiction writer, contain the following about Britton Bassett as a preface to his best-known novel “The Rivers of Eros (1991)”**
“On both side of the family his ancestors were free blacks who had settled in Indiana several years before the Civil War. Colter possesses a ledger tracing his mother’s family back to Britton Bassett, the son of a black man and a white woman in North Carolina, who was granted his freedom in 1797 when he was twenty-one and given a horse, bridle and saddle, and one hundred dollars. In the 1830s Bassett moved his wife and children to Indiana, traveling by night and hiding by day in order to elude slave hunters.”

Paradigm Convergence (PC)

 Paradigm Convergence (PC) 

I am having hard time lately explaining ontological  and noetic shock, but keep hearing these words and concepts ALOT lately:

-Ontological Shock=Reality Shock

-Noetic Shock=Mind Shock

I think  " Paradigm Convergence (PC)" is better description of a Consciousness Shift :

Paradigm Convergence (PC): The point at which independent lines of evidence from science, government, history, technology, consciousness research, and firsthand observation converge sufficiently to compel a fundamental revision of humanity's understanding of reality. 

What other names could this "reality check" be called that might take on mainstream?

The Day After Disclosure Day: What will you be doing?

The thing about memory “Flashes” and Downloads" they come and go, if not acknowledged they disappear but real nevertheless. My memories of the day after disclosure day are  beginning to invade my present day consciousness:

Time: Year 00/00/000, Day 1: The day after disclosure day: a factual account of my consciousness.

I am still remembering the announcement that day as surprisingly short and sweet but with something missing. It seemed like "stay tune more to come", but it never came, although a lot was told. It was easy to keep up with the breaking news every half hour on the hour. Something to the effect “Hey everybody it's about to go down”. People took to the streets- hard to tell if violence erupted but thousands and thousands look and waited, no one told them where to go.

It seems strange to label Disclosure Day's next day as day 1. This will take some getting used to? I am trying my best to remember this day for ever.  I want to remember all the nuances of it all. I will always remember my  day after Disclosure Day as if it was yesterday. I want to record everything in my mind, and all nuances of that transition day. I wonder if it will be like a national holiday celebrating humankind or will everyday be that way. Everything else seem to be trivial pursuit, even politics were non existent.

True to the human experience they took to the streets in droves.People flocked to the to the streets, the walk to the beachfront was overwhelming crowded, they had never seen it. People are swarming the streets but no violence yet “we were warned” it’s verifiable easily that it’s happening but where are they. Promise of more to come was said? Why doesn’t the 2nd wave start as promised? We were told they are among us living peacefully and they were afraid to be known. The announcement said “ they exist in peace”. People are in the streets in droves and it seems eerily silent but so many are in the streets - doing what and why?  Just in the streets to see what’s happening. 

On this Disclosure Day I saw it all or I felt it all, the emotions were new and organic. The internet and AI merged into one spontaneous system. How did that happen but it knew to help those struggling! Help was available. The day after I saw some highly strange things that were subtle and some obvious; people now only made eye contact looking at each other, no one looks away; people flocked to the ocean’s coasts worldwide since that’s where they live. But who are they?. What are they looking for? Am I one of them? That couple look suspect. They say there is a test to ID your alien blood and for free if you wanted it. 

Some things should be imprinted in your memory like the first time "really seeing your mother for the first time". You really don’t remember that i bet. That’s the point some things should always be remembered. 

I want to be able to say “ this is what I was doing when I heard the news about disclosure day; where was I when I heard the news? Who was I with? I think it will be important to remember “I was here when it occurred”.  The Day after will be what we remember.

When I was a child I remembered when JFK was shot in the 3rd grade and our teacher Ms Butler, wheeled in the TV and crying at the same timed the president” I remembered some newscaster was on saying our president had been shot. Or when MLK was assassinated and came home as child to my midwestern family from school my class seeing my family crying and watching the report on TV the same TV I looked at when he gave his famous speech.

Who will be our newscaster or influencer to announce the 2nd coming anew way? Who will be first? How will we know?  will it be on the new, will news stop, will things pause?

Will a true Disclosure Day be any different.  Will a new dimension be start for humans. Will things be fixed?  I remember how the last monumental social event, how I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing in detail. I hope the same  happens on Disclosure Day. Will it start with of One at 2nd o’clock I heard the news? 

Listen and remember: What will you be doing at that exact moment?

The 1977 WOW! SIGNAL - Was the message from an extraterrestrial (ET) Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) - Is now the time to reach back?

https://preview.redd.it/ttsqu3wjyf8h1.jpg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d59dbe6629a00daa1c0958013580da3297b1ae1f

I have always been fascinated with the WOW! Signal of 1977. On face value it looks like the only hardcore evidence of extraterrestrial (ET) intelligence contact, that we really have. I wonder if now is a good time to try and reach out again and quit being so passive in the research.

I am not a scientist, a technologist for past 30 years (Troubleshooting, building, protecting IT systems) and I think not enough is being done to actively reach out for ET contact.

What am I basing my thoughts on - nothing but my intuition/consciousness (Psi). I feel the WOW radio signal was more than random noise but a SOS call or warning. Maybe something was discovered and just not publicly disclosed? That's not farfetched, that even a coverup occurred in hindsight!

The last know attempt to respond was reported by Space.com:

"On August 15, 2012, National Geographic and Arecibo Observatory broadcast roughly 10,000 Twitter messages and video messages as a public “Wow! reply” project. The intent was symbolic: a response on the 35th anniversary of the 1977 signal. the messages were aimed as a response to the Wow! Signal, which came from the direction of Sagittarius."

The WOW! Signal Lore/Phenomenon:

  • The original detection was a radio signal near the hydrogen line (~1420 MHz), far outside the range of human hearing.
  • To make it audible, the radio data was converted into sound: The 1977 WOW SIGNAL
  • Astronomer Jerry Ehman spotted it days later while reviewing the printout, circled the intensity code “6EQUJ5,” and wrote “Wow!” in the margin — giving the signal its name.
  • A signal detected on August 15, 1977, by Ohio State University‘s Big Ear radio telescope in the United States, then used to support the search for extraterrestrial intelligence as part of the university’s SETI program.
  • A narrowband signal lasting the full 72-second observation window, near the hydrogen line frequency (~1420 MHz), often called the “water hole” — a band some scientists consider a likely choice for interstellar communication.
  • It appeared to come from the direction of the constellation Sagittarius. It has never been detected again, despite repeated follow-up observations of the same patch of sky.

WOW Signal.ogg - labeled as the original sound frequency: It sounds like the hum from the computer I built (comes and goes)

The sequence:

6 E Q U J 5

Why is the WOW Signal Significant:

  • The shape of the radio wave was— smoothly rising and falling intensity over the observation window.
  • It also mirrored how a fixed-dish telescope would see a real distant source as Earth rotated, arguing against simple terrestrial interference.
  • It remains one of the strongest and most-debated unexplained candidate signals in the history of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

Where are we now- passive research: Most research of the WOW! Signal has been passive research. However the current standard is: no reply should be sent just because a signal is detected.

  • SETI principles say a response should not be transmitted:
    • Until appropriate international consultations occur
    • Recent SETI Institute releases stress this is a decision for humanity broadly, not one observatory or nation.
  • Scientists have argued that active messaging should be considered.
    • Critics of passive SETI (wait and receive) argue:
    • We’ve been listening for decades.
    • Earth has already leaked radio and radar signals into space.
    • Advanced civilizations may also be listening rather than transmitting.
    • If everyone only listens, nobody talks.
  • A simple return message could be a METI — Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence6 E Q U J 5 6 E Q U J 5 6 E Q U J 5Hydrogen-line carrier. Mathematical pulse sequence. Prime numbers. Earth time marker. Repeat.

However, maybe NOW is a good time to reach out again, based on the energy emitting from “The Disclosure Day” movie (just in case) and the thousands of ET/UAP/UFO/NHI eye witnesses to the fact we are not alone here on earth. Things seem different now. Also PSI phenomenon needs to added into this research ASAP

A reply was attempted in 2012, but with an important caveat: it was not sent precisely back to the original Wow! Signal source location.

LISTEN - Maybe it's now time to reach out to the galaxy in a bigger way and feed on the worlds vibes and awakening to UAPs, NHI, PSI- a new era of consciousness.

Scientists Just Updated the Rules for What Happens if We Detect Extraterrestrial Intelligence. What would you do? Do you have a readiness plan?

Beyond Disclosure Day: The Real-World Protocols

As the search for extraterrestrial intelligence continues, experts are updating the protocols that would guide humanity's response to a potential discovery. New international recommendations emphasize transparency, scientific verification, and responsible communication. First question: Why update now?

This part stands out to me, is no guidance on what the average person should do if ET is spotted in this current UAP ecosystems. For instance, I am going to see "Disclosure Day" today, and what if Aliens actually show up-no one knows, what should we do? What would you do?

The updated protocol acknowledges a modern problem: How would anyone know a detection is real in an era of AI-generated content and deepfakes?

  • Independent verification is now considered essential before public announcement.
  • Transparency is emphasized—data and methods should be openly available.
  • The document treats a confirmed detection as one of the most significant events in human history.
  • It explicitly states that no individual nation or organization should decide on behalf of humanity whether to respond.
  • The social, cultural, religious, and philosophical impacts are considered just as important as the scientific discovery itself.

As someone who has followed US-UAP developments, historical disclosure efforts, I find it interesting that mainstream scientific organizations are actively preparing for this scenario.

My question is this: If a credible detection were announced tomorrow, what would be harder for society to accept—the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence, or the realization that our understanding of humanity's place in the cosmos may need to change?

At a Glance:

Beyond Disclosure Day: The Real-World Protocols

Position Paper on Declara on of Principles Concerning the Conduct of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI)

  • What: The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) has ratified updated protocols governing how scientists evaluate, verify, and announce evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence.
  • Why it matters: The guidelines are the first major revision in more than 15 years and address today's realities of social media, AI-generated misinformation, deepfakes, and 24-hour news cycles.
  • Led by: Professor Michael Garrett (University of Manchester), Chair of the IAA SETI Committee, with contributions from an international team of experts.
  • Key change: Any potential detection must undergo rigorous independent verification before a public announcement is made.
  • Expanded scope: The protocols now reflect modern SETI research, including searches for technosignatures across the electromagnetic spectrum and other emerging detection methods.
  • Researcher protections: New provisions acknowledge risks such as online harassment, doxxing, misinformation campaigns, and intense media scrutiny.
  • No Reply policy remains: The protocols reaffirm that no response should be sent to an extraterrestrial intelligence without broad international consultation, including through the United Nations.
  • What's next: The updated Declaration will be presented to the global scientific community at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Türkiye later this year, and the IAA will establish a permanent Post-Detection Sub-Committee to address legal, ethical, and societal implications of a confirmed discovery.

Project Blue Book USAF Blue Book case #6507 Central Indiana UFO/UAP Orb Sightings (Oct 8-13:1959): Bunker Hill Air Force/Grissom Air Force (AF) Bases

This is just a follow-up  thoughts that were activated while writing my previous post
My personal UFO sighting and disclosure.

Project Blue Book USAF Blue Book case #6507  Central Indiana UFO/UAP Orb  Sightings (Oct 8-13:1959): Bunker Hill Air Force/Grissom Air Force (AF) Bases (SAC: Strategic Air Command - Wikipedia)

https://preview.redd.it/migeg4wuur4h1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=f86e8065bff0f5c1349b8aec162f3b9a9aa2cb24

I have been somewhat obsessed with the UFO lore of Bunker Hill AF base since I was a child and before, the base took up a lot of the ecosystem of Kokomo Ind where I grew up, almost like a college town atmosphere. It would have consumed Kokomo more if it had not been for all the factory jobs available. I came across one particular incident of a metallic orb which sounds very similar to what I saw (see rendering) that “witching hour” when I was a teenager. 

The people that lived on the base were soldiers and their families and since they were out of town folk the local Hoosiers seemed to view them with “one eye open” growing up. I was in awe of them knowing that they flew those jets and made a boom, first time scared the shit out of one and all lol! I can remember the large aircraft/jets that flew over while playing in the field behind the Center’s softball field and playground. They were different; they were the base people and we were the locals. Frequent fights occurred at the local community center’s dances between the flyboys and locals (yes Top Gun” hit it on the head). One news clip talks about the base soldiers' cars being set on fire during the party and running them out of town. Yes Kokomo didn’t play and Kokomo history shows a checkered past of running a lot of folks out of town or at least that what Mama told me).

Looking back, they probably retaliated with sonic boom fly overs daily for spell. I remember the mayor writing to the base commander about the numerous booms but they still happen. He also wrote and complained about the basemen coming into town causing problems although the locals set the car on fire. My bother was a caddie for officers which just shows you how big the base was. I only ventured on the base once to pickup my brother, probably was sitting 10 yards from some nuke, like most that visited the base.

At an early age we grew up being told this was not just any base, but the “Strategic Air Command (SAG) base, it was different. I knew well before high school there were nukes on base, all the grownups knew it without saying it and us kids would never mention it “ever”, not sure why, just didn’t. When I had my UFO (using this term since this is what it was called in Project Blue Book document) sighting, not UAP, I think there is a big difference but that’s just me. UFOs sounded more serious and mysterious, I guess, back then compared to now. So the thought did enter my mind in much later years whether Bunker Hill AF base had any role in my childhood bedside UFO sighting that night. Maybe it was an experimental plane, maybe it was attracted to the nukes at the base? Other UFO/UAP research seem to think there is more than a casual correlation. I always thought we didn’t know what the hell to do with Nukes and everything connected with them(Just look at Iran). Just maybe someone is watching over us waiting for the right time to intervene before we misalign the cosmos somehow (Hello AI - “Come on Down”)

B. DESCRIPTION OF COURSE OF OBJECT(S):

(1) PHONE CALL FROM AN UNIDENTIFIED CIVILIAN OBSERVER IN KOKOMO,

USAF Blue Book case #6507 — Bunker Hill AFB , Indiana (September 13, 1959) This incident I think is the case that best highligts how evidence in your face is disregarded, and the question is was it deliberate or were they trying to save face and came up with the best excuse. Additional records point out huge difference in altitude of the org (oblong shaped) between ground and air testimonies, eye witness accounts. Even the shape and size of the initial sighting which was almost describes a plasma like UFO. The citizen’s name who reported was not given, but several of the military staff involved were shown throughout the document findings. The were not sure what they saw and the word “probably” is used numerous times. This was not a star named Venus, were the trying to code word something by saying it was Venus, this does not compute.

Kokomo appears to be mentioned because the first civilian report appears to have come from an unidentified civilian observer in Kokomo, Indiana, and then the sighting was later observed from multiple points at Bunker Hill AFB.

So Kokomo may not have been mentioned because it was the “main event location,” but because it was likely the origin point of the initial report chain.

The sequence looks something like this:

  1. Civilian observer in Kokomo reports something
    1. That makes Kokomo the first named civilian location.
    2. The handwritten page you showed suggests the information moved through Indiana State Police / Red Key / Dayton / Wright-Patterson communication channels.
    3. That may explain why the Air Force file cared about the chain of custody: who called whom, and whether there was a TWX/message.
    4. Base personnel used binoculars.
    5. That makes sense because Wright-Patterson’s Air Technical Intelligence Center handled UFO reporting and evaluation.
    6. The handwritten page you showed suggests the information moved through Indiana State Police / Red Key / Dayton / Wright-Patterson communication channels.
    7. That may explain why the Air Force file cared about the chain of custody: who called whom, and whether there was a TWX/message.
    8. Base personnel used binoculars.
    9. That makes sense because Wright-Patterson’s Air Technical Intelligence Center handled UFO reporting and evaluation.
    10. The handwritten page you showed suggests the information moved through Indiana State Police / Red Key / Dayton / Wright-Patterson communication channels.
    11. That may explain why the Air Force file cared about the chain of custody: who called whom, and whether there was a TWX/message.
    12. Base personnel used binoculars.
    13. That makes sense because Wright-Patterson’s Air Technical Intelligence Center handled UFO reporting and evaluation.
    14. Base personnel used binoculars.
    15. That makes sense because Wright-Patterson’s Air Technical Intelligence Center handled UFO reporting and evaluation.
  2. Bunker Hill AFB personnel then observe it
    1. Base personnel used binoculars.
    2. That makes sense because Wright-Patterson’s Air Technical Intelligence Center handled UFO reporting and evaluation.
    3. That makes sense because Wright-Patterson’s Air Technical Intelligence Center handled UFO reporting and evaluation.
    4. That makes sense because Wright-Patterson’s Air Technical Intelligence Center handled UFO reporting and evaluation.
    5. That makes sense because Wright-Patterson’s Air Technical Intelligence Center handled UFO reporting and evaluation.
  3. ATIC/Wright-Patterson gets involved
    1. That makes sense because Wright-Patterson’s Air Technical Intelligence Center handled UFO reporting and evaluation.

The case began with a telephone call from an unidentified civilian in Kokomo, Indiana. After receiving the report, personnel at Bunker Hill AFB (later renamed Grissom AFB) began looking toward the reported location and observed a bright white object.

The object was then observed by:

  • Control Tower personnel
  • GCA (Ground Controlled Approach) operators
  • Weather Squadron observers
  • Communications personnel
  • Base Operations personnel
  • Pilots in interceptor aircraft

At least nine named military witnesses were documented.

Kokomo was close enough to Bunker Hill/Grissom to be operationally relevant. If a civilian in Kokomo reported an unusual object in the sky near dawn, and Bunker Hill AFB personnel could also see something on a similar bearing, then Kokomo becomes part of the official sighting geometry.

At an early age we grew up being told this was not just any base, but the “Strategic Air Command (SAG) base, it was different. I knew well before high school there were nukes on base, all the grownups knew it without saying it and us kids would never mention it “ever”, not sure why, just didn’t. When I had my UFO (using this term since this is what it was called in Project Blue Book document) sighting, not UAP, I think there is a big difference but that’s just me.

My personal UFO sighting and disclosure

Time:1968-69 2am-4am
Kokomo, Indiana

Now at age 72, with all the talk of disclosure, my mind wandered to my  personal UFO sighting when I was 12-13 yrs of age (1968-69)  living in a small town in Indiana (a town similar in size to “Stranger Things” town and same temperament- a couple miles down from an SAC AF base). With the possible disclosures coming soon I am compelled to come clean with my personal disclosure, just in case something gets activated. I feel intutively  something will happen but forces are competing pro and con on the release as I type this I just feel it! 

My background is 25+ yrs in the IT field and the last  10-12 yrs in  cybersecurity working for the largest Federal government agency.   (I could tell you some strange/shadow borderline happenings alone - yes signed NDAs)   It’s been a good beautiful life other than this damn nagging feeling  to tell my own personal disclosure-regardless of who is listening.

However, all of this talk of Alien disclosures has got me churning mentally about my own legacy and life experiences. I am grounded in facts and reality. I'm the “show me type”  most of my introverted life although I have relied on my strong sense of intuition to lead me, a contradiction of sorts. Either it is real or not and this time the potential disclosures seem so real to me!

I was 13-14 yrs of age around 1969-69 and the night of my sighting was a hot summer Indiana night, very hot like 80 at night, and we did not have air conditioning (lived in public housing), just the windows open. I remember it being a weekend and definitely after 1-2am. I did not really hear anything but a feeling came over me to look out my window (2nd fl) where I could see the street light and the basketball court about 20 or 30 yards away. It was a metallic oval shaped object about the size of a bus that was hovering right above the light and at first I thought it was a helicopter but I knew immediately it was not.  I was frozen in fear but could not stop looking. It just seemed to be stationary over the street light clearly not an imaginary shape but real, in my mind at least. I then got down into the bed and called out to my brother “Bobby, Bobby” he never answered, all I heard was his damn snoring. The curiosity took over and I had to take another look and just like that it was gone! I never said anything to anyone (friends, brother) other than my wife in later years.  Even at ages 12-13 I knew I would be called crazy, so it wasn’t until age 45 or so and married 20 plus years that I told my wife. She immediately believed me since she has been on the spiritual side of things  as we both have. I guess I just wanted to get this off my chest at age 71 and wanted it documented somehow. 

All my life I have had heightened intuition which has served me well in my work and personal life. It seems like after my sighting disclosure I started to develop a heightened sense of reality and awareness. It's very hard to explain only that I always seemed a step ahead of things.  I believe that aliens exist and we may have verification in my lifetime for the first time. Regardless of my political beliefs, the first president/politician to disclose (verifiable) that  aliens exist will instantly become enshrined in human history regardless of anything else they do , a whole era of existence should open up. 

This is the first post of any social media that I have done in a good 10 yrs but I just wanted to let whoever reads this to know you're not alone! It kinda goes back to if a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it- did it really happen?
