Deep Dive 27 High Strangeness: Orbs, Portals & The Oz Factor 

G’day everyone.

We are closing out the year by addressing the “woo.”

For decades, Ufology has been obsessed with “nuts and bolts.” We look for metal ships, rivets, and propulsion systems. But as we move into the deeper waters of Module III, we must acknowledge that the phenomenon rarely behaves like a standard machine.

It behaves like consciousness.

This week, we explore High Strangeness. These are the elements of contact that defy physics and often sound like magic, yet they are reported consistently by experiencers and military personnel alike.

If you want to be ready for contact, you must look beyond the spaceship and understand the environment it creates.

1. The Oz Factor: The Zone of Silence: This is the most common precursor to a Close Encounter. Named by British researcher Jenny Randles, “The Oz Factor” describes a sudden, sensory isolation.

  • The Experience: You are in a park or your backyard. Suddenly, the background noise cuts out. The crickets stop. The distant traffic vanishes. The air feels thick, static, or heavy. You feel isolated, as if you have been placed in a bell jar.
  • The Cause: This indicates you have entered a localized field of altered spacetime or a “gravity bubble” generated by the craft or entity.
  • The Protocol: If the world goes quiet, do not panic. You have likely crossed a threshold. Stay alert.

2. Orbs: The Consciousness Probes: Not every light is a ship. In CE5, we frequently encounter small, agile balls of light (Orbs).

  • The Function: Think of these as drones or scouts. They are often described as consciousness assisted probes. They check the readiness level of the observer.
  • The Appearance: They can appear as solid balls of plasma, translucent spheres, or flashes of light that respond directly to your thoughts.
  • The Interaction: If you see an orb, it is likely reading your bio-metric and energetic data. Project welcome.

3. Portals and Time Loss: Because these technologies manipulate gravity and spacetime (as discussed in last week’s “Five Observables”), they distort time.

  • Missing Time: Experiencers often report watching a light for “five minutes,” only to check their watch and find an hour has passed.
  • Portals: You may see distortions in the air, like heat haze in winter, or flashes of light that act as entry points rather than solid objects.

The Takeaway: Do not limit your observation to “metal cans” flying in the sky. The visitors are interdimensional. The silence, the orbs, and the time distortions are not side effects; they are the signature.

Stay open to the strange.
