Indeed,and I think Lynda hit it on the head,with her reflection back on her childhood. I do not think we give enough credit to our formative years,for how we react and carry on as adults.Bugs are an interesting subject in this house, as our younger son has a 3 year old successful extermination business here in the desert,so I am always hearing interesting stories.Myself personally I am terrified of bees,but that stems from stepping on a nest when I was 10,and blew up like a balloon.Ever since, I always have to steady myself when even a single bee gets close to me,because my first thought is always fear based.As I have gotten older I have regained some control over my thoughts about bees,but the reflex 53 years later is still the same in the first seconds.

Bottom line those bees were just protecting their nest,I was playing football, led to an accident that caused me a trauma that still effects me to this day,thankfully it has greatly waned,but not entirely.I agree with Lynda as far as who gravitates toward horror movies,was fascinated with them as a child, as an adult I notice the lack of creativity in the genre.Yep I really think our thought process as a child is greatly underrated in understanding how we turn out as adults and socialize with others.

This is slightly off the subject on one hand,but on the other my thought process on this one event I witnessed as a child in the 9-12 age range makes me squeamish. I have to give the 3 year span because I am uncertain of the year,it fell in the 66-69 years and it would have been either late August or September. Somewhere out there, there is an object of great size that is dangerously close to the Earth.I am reminded of this event every time the MSM tries to sell a close call with an asteroid.Because I seen this as a child, I have a different perspective of what a NEO looks like,and the accounts the MSM brings up with them in no way match what I seen.

I wonder if the PTB are aware of this object and tracking it,because it is freakishly close to the horizon,and comes from the direction of the Sun,you hear it before you see it,and when you look to the SW tracking the sound,the atmosphere turns to smoke and then fire at the atmosphere entry point,your senses then regain the roar of the object which is absolutely beautiful,it is multi colored and appears to be melting at it's front of the body and it has a very long tail,you watch it cross the horizon in front of you and it disappears out of the atmosphere to the NE.

So this object,has been a source of pondering a good number of times in my life.As a young boy, it caused me awe,but the older I got,and as I learned the mechanics of this solar system, and the rigged system we lived in,my apprehension about it has grown.If there had been an internet in the 60's,this object would have set it on fire. I believe the authorities of the time,immediately covered it up,as I do not think they wanted people knowing...1.They did not see it coming...2.How close it came to hitting the Earth...3.How powerless they were to do anything about it.

My closing thoughts,my subconscious thought as a youngster was...man I would not want to be around that if it landed...Because of this great distrust I have for the PTB and how they operate,I feel a need to me as frank about this as I can be. With this distance and this object,it needs to be addressed in both time and space. All these bs 'close' asteroids that they throw out there for fear porn are given to us from the space aspect only,and they do this because there is no real time aspect between the object and the Earth. THAT is not the case with this object, I am afraid there is a Time and a place with it.

I will put it like this using the word...'shortly' to mean somewhere within 24 hours either before or after. The object I seen as a child passed through space that either shortly the Earth would pass through...or...it passed through space that the Earth just shortly passed.To contemplate how close in miles it was to the Earth is the stuff of real life horror movies.I swear it was in the planet's atmosphere, the atmosphere was trying and it did burn up some of it,but not nearly enough.My bottom line is,I have no need to see it that up close again.

So here we are in 2019,and this is strictly my guess based on everything I have read,and observations on a couple of solar eclipses I seen in Las Vegas as an adult.There was a total eclipse I believe in July of 1990, where I could see 2 'other' objects in the sky at the height of the eclipse. One was much larger then the other and both of course were between the moon and the Earth.If I was to venture a guess,the larger object was further then halfway,but not quite 3 quarters to the moon away.As far as distance, it was no where close to the distance of the object in the 60's,but I found it interesting just because I have never seen any other objects before or since during an eclipse.

Given how society is going,on more then one occasion I have thought that it would be the physical universe that restores balance between man and the planet.I do not believe I seen a planet killer when I was young,but it certainly is an eye opener,capable of change on a global scale.So I think that men as well as women can be made to be squeamish,depending on the subject.The horror part of me says...I wish more could see this thing,but then empathy takes over and says...do you really wish that? And the answer is no,but I do not know if hope is enough.Sure wish we could trust our leaders to be truthful...

: Good discussion, and I feel it's my duty to add another aspect

: about gore that I've come across. I've only seen a clip of

: "After surviving a brutal car wreck, commercial director
: James Ballard finds himself slowly drawn to a mysterious
: subculture of people who have transformed automobile
: accidents into erotic events. Like the J.G. Ballard novel
: that inspired it, David Cronenberg's study of the sexual
: dimension of man's relationship to technology was a magnet
: for controversy, drawing a NC-17 rating and criticism from
: several sources, including studio owner Ted Turner, who
: attempted to prevent the film's American release. But
: though some have leveled charges of pornography, James'
: descent into this fetishistic underworld is approached with
: cold, scientific detachment. Characters like Vaughn, the
: charismatic group leader who stages recreations of
: celebrity car crashes, seem more like driven researchers
: than sexual renegades, which is undoubtedly part of the
: film's point. This impression is reinforced by the pristine
: cinematography by Peter Suschitzsky, which proves
: particularly haunting during a crucial accident scene, and
: Howard Shore's superb score. Far from exploitative, Crash
