I am an Investigative Reporter and syndicated columnist, basically a journalist. I went to share in the future hoping to unravel some of the unknown that surrounds me.

This is the beginning of a group that wants to have fun on field trips as a paranormal research team. There are no smokers and drinkers so this is a non-smoking, drinking group. We were all known in other groups including the MUFON meeting held monthly in Bowling Green. MUFON is held the third Thursday and the IRIS meeting is held the fourth weekend.

This new meeting for me was part of the Ascension Center, ACE Folk Life, Paranormal Information Network, about every other group that has something to do with the supernatural, metaphysical, spiritual, strange phenomena, ghosts, and UFOs. The only problem was that there is so much to investigate and research in Kentucky we are not sure what field research to begin with for a field trip.

We discussed the equipment we would want to bring along and all the many places in Kentucky dealing with myths, legends, haunting, and included in paranormal tourism. One thing we could all agree on was that we are all researchers, investigators, and love mysteries. Another area we are all interested in is energy. The latest updates on apparitions and supernatural phenomena reporting can be discussed and shared not only via the Internet now but also in person. There are many people who have groups that meet in various locations around the world and to many this is just one more.

However, there was seemingly enough people outside the glass walled meeting room looking in that made me that more inquisitive about people in general. I still find that anthropology is just as intriguing. There are people like me that have had life changing experiences of one kind or another and everyone in the room had extraordinary experiences. This professional group of people had all owned businesses as entrepreneurs. We all wanted a chance to get away from all the people that we support in the paranormal UFO community simply to share our information and points of view on all the strange happenings in Kentucky. This is what makes us unique to the world is our location.

The speaker led off with "Something has brought us all together here in Kentucky!"

We all knew each other so there was no need in introductions this first open forum meeting for brainstorming our new name, new mission, and monthly meeting organization. This was to come together for fellowship, organization, and to discuss what we would like to accomplish. It turned out to be that we wanted to explore Kentucky together and to document our research.

This includes UFO, Ghost, apparitions, haunted locations, ancient portals, three-dimensional to multi-dimensional. Kentucky supernatural locations allow groups to share in what is now coined as paranormal tourism. Our monthly meetings and field trips will book appointments in advance. We are already involved in sharing UFO information in our Kentucky UFO and Paranormal Information Network. That is KUPIN as an acronym. However, we are not sure what to name our new group since we want to discuss everything that is strange in Kentucky. We all had to admit that Kentucky is strange. In addition, none of us were born in Kentucky, which was strange. We all migrated from other states. We are all Americans and interestingly enough we were 50% male and 50% female. We decided to all think about our new organization name although we had decided that IRIS was a good acronym. This stands for International Researchers Investigating Supernatural or something similar or close to this description. This may or may not be the final name and theme but it was the best we could come up with on such short notice. We laughed about many acronyms that we thought would work and all desire to share in fun and this research as not only a hobby but also a professional organization. I went because I was asked too and because I am known for being strange and extraordinary when it comes to my belief in UFOs and paranormal phenomena. I am a syndicated columnist and a known paranormal investigator. I travel but live in Kentucky.

We all have computers and we all read and research on our own. We were all very much up to date with various topics of supernatural and paranormal conversations. It was refreshing to say the least. We know that this Saturday meeting group will grow into an International Organization we are just not sure how to precede since we are all interested in so many topics. We all did agree that we would go on field investigations and we had vans that could seat six or more to we will not have to rent a bus. Most all of us had electrical equipment, such as digital camcorders and cameras. Some of us had other equipment similar to what TAPS uses on the television show, Ghost Hunters and Ghost Hunters International.

I realized that my interest in humans and the ascension process would be mute. This group was interested in the paranormal phenomena that are created by entities other than those in a human physical sentient intelligent being. This group was interested in physical energy only if it had passed on or was still hanging around haunted physical locations. I thought to myself, this would be interesting. I have never hung out with people who were interested in energy that could be caused from ghost or dead people. Not everyone was considered a psychic medium but there were some. So, how do people interested in this supernatural energy on earth all come together to want to do field research of energy?

Something about the paranormal has become very intriguing to many people around the world. It could be a sign of the times. Many websites promote paranormal, supernatural, UFOs, ancient discoveries, and myths and legends. The whole other than normal energy that could fit into the Akashic Field of the Metaphysical and Alchemy cannot be separated into various categories. I got interested due to my own extraordinary experiences in this lifetime with near death and ET UFO experiences. I feel that the strange is only strange to others who have not experienced life in the same way that I have. Therefore, I seem to gravitate to others who have had paranormal and supernatural experiences. Some of my friends have died and had out of body experiences and yet they are normal human beings who can be very professional doing an investigation. Some academics and educators now work with me regarding PSI and UFOs. I believe that we are doing what we can to learn about the telepathic involvement of humans with extra terrestrials. I believe that this may be the sixth sense and maybe even a seventh that we are learning about that has been ignored in the past of humans on earth. There are new findings to suggest that we can cause energy surges in each other like kinetic energy. There needs to be other categories for this energy besides psychiatry, psychology, telepathy, and sixth sense research. There is remote viewing and Parapsychology. However, there still are more categories that are interesting and types of beings to be discovered besides psychics, mediums, clairvoyants, and mystics. We have people with a need t change based on their mental environment of today.

There are many scientists that are now starting to investigate the Shamans and right brained people who work as artists, writers, creators, entrepreneurs, and UFO experiencers. They are becoming interested in this Akashic Field, tachyon, and telekinetic energy that we are discovering that people seem to share in groups of two or more. There has to be something wonderful and good coming out of this new calendar change in time that so many people are referring too as the December 12, 2012, new world beginning when the earth rotates on it's axis and the earth's flux happens when the center of the Milky Way aligns with the sun of our earth. All of this seems to mean something to our overall critical mass psyche.

Just as we are separating the "Fear & Fright, Scare Tactics, and Horror Flicks" from the "Science Fiction Genre", we can now see that the "Blood & Guts Shock Thrillers" do not belong in the "Supernatural, Paranormal Genre". We also are seeing that UFO Hunters and Ghost Hunters are not in the same genre at all. This means that the "Ripley Believe it or Not" television show may want to expand its future horizons. This Sixth Sense with the "Ghost Whisperer" and "Medium" television show does not compare with the new vampire hit called "Twilight". There are various innovative interests that are actually coming from old movies and ideas that were written in books in the 19th century. Some authors and entrepreneurs collected myths and legends and thought that this was all they were. However, there were people like Houdini and Sherlock Holmes that were always interested in the mysterious and magic that seemed to prevail in the unknown. Maybe much of what we still have to learn about in the future is in the unknown and only seems supernatural to us now. Maybe in the latter part of the 21st century, what we discover in our research and investigation peer groups will someday thought of us normal.

It is people who are still willing to share their interests and time on earth together in fellowship, research, exploring, and investigating that will eventually create the needs for the unknown to become known. The next time someone invites you to a meeting that involves a group of people wanting to share in field trips of the paranormal and supernatural phenomena, maybe you should attend. You may meet someone not of this world someday and this group will assist you to prepare for that future unexpected meeting. We are all about assisting others and each other with handling the unexpected.

One never knows what the future holds. You may meet the person that holds the information to your future. Change is one thing that we can all learn to rely on in this life and we are all growing toward the unknown. We will all leave this planet someday one way or the other. Why not explore the unknown while you are here. Life is a gift and we should learn to enjoy the splendor and wonder of being alive. I know that there are others who study us so why shouldn't we study the unknown? This may be what drives our human souls. Learning that we are not much different than the humanoids we all extra terrestrials that are flying the UFOs.
