Medusa-Like SNAKE-HEAD ENTITY Terrifies California Hotel Guest
A California woman tells of a strange experience she had while staying at the Georgian Hotel in Santa Monica, which is well-known as a haunted location. What did she encounter?
“I was working as an information technology contractor for MGM Studios during the year 2000. It was a lot of fun working there, getting to see movie props such as the Stargate was an extra bonus. I was staying at the Georgian Hotel in Santa Monica during a major renovation. Having worked at MGM for a month, my contract was coming to an end.
During my last night at the hotel, I woke up suddenly at approximately 3 AM. Via the light from the window and the night light in the room, I could see something floating in the middle of the room. It was the head of something I’d never seen and never want to see again. It was grotesque – a man’s head with snakes as hair. Its skin, which looked dark green, seemed to be moving with smaller snakes. As I watched it, it moved its lips as if it was trying to talk to me, but I couldn’t hear anything. I could see the back of its head in the mirror on the wall in front of me. I really don’t know how I knew to say this but I told him, it wasn’t welcome and he had to leave. After saying this a few more times, it just slowly faded away.
I got up and turned on the lights in the room. Working for MGM, I thought maybe one of the guys I was working with was playing a joke on me. I checked the whole room for anything that could produce this head image but I found nothing. Needless to say, I didn’t go back to sleep.
When the time came to check out later that morning, I was too embarrassed to say anything. Heading in to work one last time, I did ask the guys if they knew anything about it. They all said no and promised me they would never do anything so cruel. One of them did tell me that the hotel was in fact haunted. This incident has left me wondering just what it was I saw that night. I think it might have been a demon looking for someone to possess.”
Dave Schrader noted that the being she described sounded like Medusa, except male.

NOTE: I have heard and read a few strange accounts from the Georgian Hotel over the years, including a story that the hotel may be haunted by the spirit of mobster Bugsy Siegel. Here is a link that you may find interesting. Lon

‘Britain’s Bill Gates’ finally extradited to California to face charges in ‘one of the largest frauds ever prosecuted by the United States Department of Justice’
Interesting WINGED HUMANOID Reported in Wilmington, California Skies
A supposed winged humanoid is reportedly seen on several occasions in the skies of Wilmington, California. Is there any relation to the ‘jetpack man’ reported at LAX?
Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research team member Luis Castillo offered the following account:
Here’s what happened.
My coworker was talking about having seen a weird creature. I asked him to describe it. After which I showed him a pic of Mothman and if it looked anything like that. He said it did. I asked him to contact his friends and to show them the picture. They each separately agreed that’s what they saw.
He told me about the following sighting:
2 years ago in the city of Wilmington, California. In this location is a huge ARCO refinery.
My co-worker was with 3 other friends at about 2am in the backyard of his house just hanging out.
Though not sure who saw it first, one of them looked up and happened to see this winged creature flying above them. I asked him if it did anything odd. He said no, except that it circled his group about 5 times before heading north toward the city of Torrance. Now, in that direction, is LAX, a major airport for Los Angeles.
I asked if he saw it after. He mentioned that they saw it again, but this time it was about 430am-5am.
That it repeated its previous behavior except that it circled them about 2-3 times and flew off. This time towards the city of Long Beach.
After which they didn’t see it again.
My co-worker then mentioned he thinks he saw it again 1 week later, but was unsure, so he didn’t give any details.
NOTE: The mention of LAX intrigues me for 2 reasons. First, the O’Hare connection with the winged humanoids in Chicago, and second, the supposed ‘jetpack man’ reported in and around LAX. Your thoughts? Lon

Unknown WINGED DARK-EYED CREATURE Encountered in San Marcos, California
A San Marcos, California witness describes an encounter with a large bird-like winged creature with large dark eyes that hovered and then moved at a supernatural speed.
“Sir. I had an encounter that I did make a report on but have never received any inquiries. Since your readers send you their experiences maybe there is a chance someone has seen something similar.
The encounter occurred on July 6, 2005, at about 11:30 pm. I had a long day in San Diego then afterward went to the beach at Del Mar, CA for some surf fishing. I arrived at my home in San Marcos at about 11:00 pm. After cleaning my fish and showering, I was very tired. I went out to my carport for a smoke and a look at the night sky. I looked north, thinking about a recent UFO sighting and wondering what it was all about. In the distance, at a couple hundred feet, I saw a faintly visible moving object that flitted from side to side. Whatever it was, it reflected light from the streetlights. Its side-to-side movement was so quick, I couldn’t tell if it was one object or two. The object then zipped directly over my neighbor’s house across the street. By this time, I was certain I’d never seen anything like it. It continued to move side to side, in a space of approximately 50 feet. It then stopped and I observed it more clearly.
It may have had big “eyes” and wing-like appendages and was probably 2 to 3 feet in width. It remained still and I could see wavering reflections from its “wings” which were not beating like a bird but showed shimmering reflections from the streetlights. I felt the hair on my head rise all the way down my back to my ankles! It appeared to be looking at me, as I smoked my cigarette. I felt threatened, and said out loud, “I see you!” Then it went from stationary to out of sight, right over my head in an instant. I came out from under my covered carport and turned to follow its movement. Immediately, it zipped into view directly above my head, obviously studying me! I could see really weird large and intensely dark “eyes.” It seemed surprised by my looking right at it. It didn’t like being seen. My apprehension rose even higher. It turned away and disappeared like a shot.
It had a bird-like shape but was thicker. My impression was of reflections of the streetlights on wing-like appendages, and big dark eyes!
It wasn’t a bird, bat,, or any familiar nocturnal creature. Its movements did not seem explicable in comparison to any creature that flies by beating its wings. The hills and mountains are so rugged and inaccessible near my home, that anything could remain hidden and make nighttime forays at will. I read about “Thunderbirds” but I’m not sure if this was one of these.” SM

Another Ocean Climate Solution Attempted by California Researchers
The technology, dubbed SeaChange, developed by the University of California Los Angeles engineering faculty, is meant to seize on the ocean’s natural abilities, said Gaurav Sant, director of UCLA’s Institute for Carbon Management. The process sends an electrical charge through seawater flowing through tanks on the barge. That then sets off a series of chemical reactions that trap the greenhouse gas into a solid mineral that includes calcium carbonate — the same thing seashells are made of. The seawater is then returned to the ocean and can pull more carbon dioxide out of the air. The calcium carbonate settles to the sea floor.
Plans are now underway to scale up the idea with another demonstration site starting this month in Singapore. Data collected there and at the Port of Los Angeles will help in the design of larger test plants. Those facilities are expected to be running by 2025 and be able to remove thousands of tons of CO2 per year. If they are successful, the plan is to build commercial facilities to remove millions of tons of carbon annually, Sant said…
Scientists estimate at least 10 billion metric tons of carbon will need to be removed from the air annually beginning in 2050, and the pace will need to continue over the next century… According to the UCLA team, at least 1,800 industrial-scale facilities would be needed to capture 10 billion tons of atmospheric carbon dioxide per year, but fewer could still make a dent.
The article notes alternate ideas from other researchers — including minerals on beaches that increase the ocean’s alkalinity so it can absorb more carbon dioxide.
But this SeaChange process also produces hydrogen. So the director of UCLA’s Carbon Management institute also founded a startup that generates revenue from that hydrogen (and from “carbon credits” sold to other companies) — hoping to lower the cost of removing atmospheric carbon to below $100 per metric ton.
