In late March of 2012, we published a series of nine posts about the experiences of a man in Quebec who witnessed a UFO hovering in his backyard. As soon as we put up the first post, I started noticing visits from government agencies – all the acronym security guys – NSA, FBI, DOD, DEA, CIA, Homeland Security, NINC, even the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. There were others, but those are the ones that immediately leap to mind.
That was when I began to believe that if the U.S. government had insider info about UFOs, alien abductions and the like, then it is fragmented knowledge. One agency may know this piece of info, another agency knows that bit…. But regardless, this intrusion really irritated me.
Periodically, in the three years since those posts went up, we have had hits from some of these agencies, usually when we posted something about UFOs, aliens, abductions. But nothing as relentless and pervasive as the slew of them in 2012.
Even though we’ve done some posts on topics in 2015 that usually interest these acronym spies, we have been completely free of their visits. Until today. I happened to check the counter for our website, not a blog, where we post only if we have a new book coming out. And here’s what I saw:
Total Visits: 1
Location: United States
IP Address: Dod Network Information Center (30.73.235.243) [Label IP Address]
Referring URL: (No referring link)

So I clicked on the page and thought, huh? Really? You guys are interested in Bump in the Night: Ghosts, Spirits & Aliens Encounters?
I Googled the DOD to find out how many other sites they visited and ran across numerous complaints from other bloggers and website owners, some of them quite entertaining. I’ve decided that they visit to make sure that we understand they are watching, spying, keeping tabs. It isn’t necessarily that they are interested in what anyone writes about, but that they spy because they can.
One of the women with whom I used to teach English as a second language left teaching to work with the NSA. She was smart, bilingual, and has worked for the NSA for probably 25 years now. Rob and I visited her in Colorado at one point and when she said she couldn’t talk about her work, alarms went off in my head.
Back in 2000, she wrote that she was going to vote for Bush because she believed that the Republicans would keep funding the NSA. I stopped all communication with her and didn’t hear anything from her until a few months ago, when her dog died. We did share a passionate love of animals. We exchanged a few emails, she said she would call, but never did. Some bridges can never be crossed, some friendships can never be revisited.
But honestly, I would love to sit down with her and ask her, point blank, what the NSA knows about UFOs, aliens, all those things that go bump in the night. Maybe that area was never her purview. But given what Edward Snowden revealed about the machinations of the NSA – and he was an outsourced employee- it would be intriguing to get a straight answer.
So, you acronym dudes, happy spying. May those of us who blog about the mundane and the esoteric in life enlighten you in some way.
