Project Omega, OMG

Do you agree that this Project Omega stuff is totally sketchy sketch? If so, who was behind it? Do you think it’s possible that they’re back to get revenge on Callie’s mom?

   I don’t know whether you all already knew this but omega can mean the last/the end. It’s also the last letter of the greek alphabet. So project omega means project the end which would make sense.
   It’s a possible theory. Callies mum when I knew her was clever. Very clever but quiet. She didn’t gossip like the other mums did and she seemed to have secrets to keep.
   However 1989 was 20 years ago. It seems a little long for them to get revenge unless there was more to spill. Maybe Ursula didn’t tell everything that time…

   Maybe when Callies mum is speaking to Callie through clues she isn’t telling Callie where to find her maybe she’s telling her more information about this sort of thing. Spilling more of the secrets.

   The next step could be to research the other employees that were working there. Any thornhills or valentinos would be useful or even criminals.

   What if whoever thought of this “Project Omega” wanted it to really happen and needed Callie’s mom’s help to do or complete it?
   Think about what Squiggles had said she was clever.
   And threatened her to help them?
   Maybe that’s why she had disappeared?

   Maybe Callie’s mom is physically unable to get to her, so she’s working through an accomplice.  That could be why Ursula Leary is not meeting with her daughter.  I mean, really, Callie and her mom were thick as peanut butter ( to re-write an old saying for a new time).  Callie’s mom would NEVER leave voluntarily for this long without telling her husband or Callie. 
   Now a theory I don’t like, but I’ll tell you anyway:  Maybe Callie’s mom was dying from a long lasting illness/poison (for the last twenty years?).  She left because a) the Leary family could not pay for the medical bill, b) she needed medical help that the locals could not provide, or c) She was poisoned 20 years ago by the people who got all upset she blew their opperation, and they promised her the cure if she would leave her family and never tell anyone.  Then they kidnapped her.

   You can tell Hal I think Mr Snuggles is adorable. ;)

   This Project Omega stuff sounds well dodgy. So Callie’s mom was basically pre-empting exposing some fake science to the public… go her! But why would anyone make up anything likely to cause such panic anyway?

   Another good question: why is a lab that’s researching the effects of stuff on birds be looking at asteroids that are going to flatten the planet and send us all the way of the dinosaurs? Sounds to me like all the data in that Project Omega report wasn’t so much tampered with as entirely fabricated.

   I think to understand why Callie’s mom is in danger now, we need to figure out what the Observatory would have to gain by sending people into a mass panic over something that was never going to happen. Perhaps they were going to pretend to have a solution which made them look super-awesome? Either way, it must have been someone high up at the Observatory who was behind the whole thing, else they wouldn’t have been able to get away with faking or messing with the data. So who owned Astro Raven Observatory?

5. Kenzi 11.21.2009

   Bill Sorenson was the owner of Astro Raven Onservatory…of course he died 12 years ago but he might have a son or something? I dont think that a poison would take 20 years to get through a person’s system but you never know! I think we should try to come up with every reason why Astro Raven would send people in a mass panic and work it out from there! Plus this afternoon I am going to talk to Suzan Depot someone who worked at Astro Raven. I’ll tell you what I find…

6. AniStory 11.21.2009

   I think we need to find out who thought of this Project Omega in the first place….

7. crummyblaire 11.21.2009

   Hey there was a story about Project Omega in a newspaper.  It was very small and had a “x” on it.  It was very hard to read though.  I found it by the school i left it under the closest house’s door matt incase any one wants to figure out what it says.

8. Kenzi 11.21.2009

   OMG! You will not beleive what I just found out!
   Okay so me and iceracer77899 went to pay Suzan Depot a little visit. Anyways so first I asked her about Bill Sorenson and she said he was like a stereotype of a shady buisnessman. From her description of him it seemed like the Project Omega must have been a cover up. Apparently Bill Sorenson’s son Brendan Sorenson lives in Orion so we are on our way to his house now.

   I also asked her about Robert Clark because I think theres a connection. No…I know in my gut that there is a connection between Robert Clark and Thornhill. But now that I think of it how stupid would it be for someone to pretend to die then pretend to be someone else that same year in that same town!

9. Kenzi 11.22.2009

   Hey so I just got back from my “discussion” with Brenden Sorenson…when I got to his house he was in his front yard muttering something that sounded like “R…r…ob…bert…th-th…orn…” and he was all shaken up. When I asked him what was wrong he said that he had just gotten a visit from an old friend and it had shocked him. After talking to him I realized that we knew, like, nothing about the Astro Raven Observatory! Anyways apparently like Suzan he was 20 when it was shut down and all the protesting was happening. And he and Suzan were like a thing he said that she was “the only one I ever truly loved, and I regret the choice I made.” This is where I was thinking OMG he knows everything. He was going to have to start running the Astro Raven when he was 22-that totally reminded me of like the 18th centary with people running the country and all that-apparently his father had the genious to fire everybody working for them and make the observatory a sweatshop like with children working in it. But as I thought that over I thought it didn’t make that much sense. I mean Astro Raven was an observatory like where people observe stuff and 3rd world country children wouldn’t be smart enough to do the research right? Aren’t they supposed to be uneducated.
   When I asked him about Robert Clark I swear a shiver ran up his spine…“Robert was…very characteristic which was why my father hated him. Anyways when he found out about our plans he threatened to tell the press.” Brendan said, “Robert also came from a really poor family so my father asked himwho people would beleive him or my father. Society loved my father, Robert was automatically fired and hunted down. That night they found him dead on the side of the street.” Thats when Brendan’s son came in…and he was hot. I mean Taylor Lautner hot. I swear I stared for a second then felt bad because Eli was just sitting right beside me. That was when the interview-I guess you could call it-was over.

   
   So what do you think really went on in the Astro Raven Observatory? And do you think that Thornhill is really Robert Clark?

10. dem_94 11.22.2009

    Woah! That’s a lot of info, Kenzi! There’s got to be somethingin there that can help us. I don’t think Thornhill is Robert Clark. I think they might partners or something. You said that Brenden Sorenson stubbled over the name Robert Thorn—. What he meant Robert…., Thornhill as in two seperate people?

    I think the revenge thing is totally possible. Callie’s mom always stood up for what was right, and never backed down. Maybe someone threatened to come after Callie and her dad, so her mom left to protect them?

11. anonymous13 11.22.2009

    Ya that makes sense dem_94. Callie’s mom left cuz she wanted to protect her family. Maybe whoever killed Robert might have tried to kill Callie and her dad.

    The thing about Robert, maybe he is related to Thornhill. His full name could be: Robert Clark Thornhill?

12. Kenzi 11.22.2009

    Thats actually what I was thinking….think about it how stupid would it be for someone to pretend to die then pretend to be someone else that same year in that same town!

    I’ll do some research in the library and report anything I find out tonight.

13. themidnighter 11.23.2009

    Callie’s mom was one of the most intelligent person that I’ve met. It’s possible that Project Omega was one of a “revenge” type of plan to get back on her. But,who knows,right? I never really got to know her that well.

14. Talzhemir 11.23.2009

    There’s a few things known as “Project Omega”.

    A Project Omega was one of the Vietnam War programs under MACV-SOG, a covert intelligence group specializing in “unconventional warfare”.  From 1964 to 1972, they rescued prisoners of war and conducted “psywar” (psychological warfare).
     
    Kenneth Ring wrote a book called “The Omega Project”.  It’s a collection of anecdotes about near-death experiences.  The author claims a connection to UFO encounters and ESP.

    According to papers released under the Freedom of Information Act, the U.S. government ran a number of ESP projects at quite a few different labs.  In the 1980’s, they were brought together under the code name “Stargate”.

    Stargate was based in Fort Meade (which is something like fifteen minutes driving southwest of Baltimore).  If the Astro Raven project was considered “weird science”, there’s a good chance it was at least monitored by Stargate.  (It seems a bit unlikely to me that Stargate would fail to notice it.  They were legendary for grasping at EVERY straw, no matter how thin or flimsy.)

    It’s also possible that either the Astro Raven and the Omega Project did not end, but were incorporated into Stargate.

    Projects that we know were consolidated under Stargate include “Gondola Wish”, “Grill Flame”, “Dragoon Absorb”, and “Sun Streak”.  They were run by the Army, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the CIA.  Many of the activities of these projects were conducted at private labs and research institutes, notably, the Stanford Research Institute (Menlo Park, California).

    Former policeman Pat Price participated in Stargate as a “remote viewer”.  His sketches of zig-zag lines are some of the most famous alleged evidence, and he was taken quite seriously by the CIA at the time.  He lost credibility when he wasn’t able to score any hits beyond coincidence and lucky guess.  He also believed aliens had established four underground bases on Earth.

    Since the 1950’s, Fort Meade has been the headquarters of the NSA.  There’s a lot of brain-power at work in “The Building”.  You can visit the National Cryptologic Museum there.  If you can’t get there in person, you have two options:  try the NSA’s government web-site virtual tour.

    Or you can try Remote Viewing it.

    Sorry I was a little late to give you this information but I couldn’t get on the computer any sooner. Yesterday I went to the library hoping to find some new information. So I went back to where I had started hoping to read the article again incase I had missed anyting. Anyways written across the top in Amanda’s handwriting it said: “Fallowing the Astro Raven Observatory: The Project Omega Hoax, by Ursula Leary” So I searched it on the internet and I found out that Callie’s mother wrote a book but it was never published. There also was a link to a website called www.ursulaleary-astroravenobservatoy.blogger.com.  So I clicked on it…it was a website made up by Amanda or someone and it said that the manuscript burried in a time capsle in the schools field.  Tomorrow afternoon I am gonna dig it up.  Anyone wanna come with?

16. soccachik666 11.24.2009

    I’ll definately come to help dig it up Kenzie! :)

    I think that song is totally sketchy! Maybe that whole asteroid thing was code for something else…something worse. And Callie’s Mom discovered what it was and told. But since she knows MORE than she should they want revenge. We need to look into this Project Omega some more and find the head scientist of the project and look into his history….(and just for a WILD guess maybe Thornhill is involved in the squealing part?)
    ps. LOVE your Mr. Snuggles Hal! :D

17. MandysBoy 11.24.2009

    I know I’m out of the loop, but what does all this have to do with finding Amanda? When I knew her she wasn’t in to all this “spiritual” mumbo-jumbo.

18. Kenzi 11.25.2009

    Today after skool me and soccachik666 went to dig up Fallowing the Astro Raven Observatory: The Project Omega Hoax, by Ursula Leary it was a manuscrip and in Amanda’s writing there are a bunch of footnotes.  On the frontcover it says “Sorenson Says: Catch Me If You Can”  It must be a clue but pointing towards wat?  Maybe does Sorenson know something about it but which one.  Maybe I should ask both of them…meaning I will have to hang out with that hottie Blain…Brendans son?!?!

19. AwesomeAnna93 11.25.2009

    Hey guys,

    Omega could actually be O.M.E.G.A and stand for something.

    Omega also mean year of death…..

    Dudettes, I don’t think Mrs. Leary was kidnapped.
    I think that all of the people involved in this project Omega are hiding something fro mthe public. Mrs. Leary may have disapperred to keep this secret safe and away from the public.
    Also, as for Mr. Sorenson, my idea is that his death is just a cover-up. The event took place 20 yrs ago but in recent years (around the time of his death), amateur journalists and researchers dug up the story and began researching on it. I think that his death was faked so that he can disappear and protect his project.

    Clark and Thornhill are most likely not the same person…. 20 years ago, Thornhill was an 8th grade science teacher @ Orion Unified Middle/High…

    Robert Clark was a lab technician @ the ARO and he’s been gone since 1996. He was never married. After ARO closed, Clark worked at some engineering plant in town and in 1996 he resigned and moved away. His stated reason for resignation was because he was offered a job at a lab in New Mexico but there are no records to prove this.

    This makes me think that he, along w/ Mrs. Leary and Mr. Sorenson all left town trying to protect this project.

    As for Amanda’s connection to Omega, research labs have connections all over the world. I think her parents may have been an overseas connection and have left Amanda all the information needed to help protect this project.

20. MandysBoy 11.25.2009

    I agree that Clark and Thornhill can’t be the same person. But they could be brothers. someone said they looked a lot alike. My brother is 26 and even though I’m a junior we are mistaken for each other a lot. Putting what everyone has said together those two being brothers seems possible, even likely.

21. stef_stone 11.26.2009

    Wow, good work everyone! I also think that they couldn’t be the same person, but I definitely think they are brothers. I’m on the school newspaper staff, and we were looking through old articles the other day. We found one that mentioned that Robert Clark and his brother both graduated in 1980, and went on to become lab researchers.

22. Kenzi 11.26.2009

    We have already determined that it would be stupid for a cover up like that where he would return the same year to the SAME TOWN!!! So it is like impossible for them to be the same person. Plus when I asked Brendan Sorenson about his father’s death he seemed to be a little bit depressed in a way that people couldn’t act…plus Blain says that his father has been upset ever since he can remember…
    I think it is quite possible for them to be brothers or something. Project Omega wasn’t kept a secret because Ursula Leary ticked off the press. So his death wouldn’t be faked for that amount of time. Plus he had an open casket ceremony honoring his life and whatnot and apparently it lasted a full day!! If Thornhill went on to be a lab researcher then why would he be working in a school??
    I think that we definately need to like question Thornhill or something because it is so obvious that he knows what happened.

23. MandysBoy 11.26.2009

    Roger = Robert= Good twin names. Just thought about that. It’s not exactly proof but it is something to think about…

24. fun-lovingisi 12.29.2009

    AstroRAVEN observatory
    is it possible that it has to do with the fact the a raven is a totem?
    Also I remember Callie mentioning on pg. 10 of Invisible I that Amanda had placed a Raven in Mr. Thornhill’s office? Could this be his totem? Could Mr. Thornhill be the 4th guide? the raven was sent before the dove to find land. Amanda came to Mr. Thornhill first before any of the other guides. Is that why she transfered to Endeavor in the first place?

25. Pipper 01.14.2010

    somehow or rather I have the biggest gut feeling that there is a connection with Amanda’s and Ursula’s disapearence. I know, wierd, but got to be something, like in both cases you don’t know why they left, where they are, if they’re with other people, if they’ve been kidnapped/mumnapped or if they were forced.

26. AlexInvisible 06.09.2010

    Okay, here’s my theory… Project Omega, you say? Well, Omega means God (at least, I’m pretty sure.) So. Project GOD. Perhaps Ursula and Amanda are on the run from apocalypse- believing cultists?
    Alright, sounds crazy. But it’s happened before…
    Don’t drink any Koolaid. I’m serious.

27. lindzkin 07.02.2010

    It’s highly possible, I pretty sure if someone(that someone being very high up in the observatory) knew Callie’s mom sqealed they would want revenge.

28. queenchuki 12.29.2011

    OK, I know this thing is really old, but I think that Callie’s mom is being hunted, and the guys who do Project Omega want to take revenge on her and her daughter, but to protect Callie, Amanda pretends to be Ursula’s daughter.

    I mean, Amanda is good at disguises right?
