If you search “caught on camera 2000” (2001,2002,2003,etc), the first few pages are natural disasters, transportation crashes (car/plane/ train/ truck etc), human deaths via stabbing, heart attack, car crash etc.
Starting about 5 years ago the “caught on camera” videos started to be of Bigfoot, grays, UFOs, time travelers (I see a lot of those videos lately in particular), ghosts…

LoginWhat was significant about 2018? The Las Vegas shooting “Harvest Festival was in 2017 ( 10-1-17). That seemed to be a kick off event for a few things, and a few of the paranormal videos did start in 2017.
Was there any significant astrological events in 2018? (I’ve learned to always ask this now, thanks to this forum LOL).
Uranus, the planet of surprises and revolutionary acts, will move into Taurus (ruling finance, banking, and material possessions) on May 15, 2018; where it will stay off and on, until the 26 of April 2026. This could mean a major change in the finance department globally. This, in turn, will affect us individually.

LoginMythology on Uranus: The tale of Uranus begins with the beginning of time. According to Greek mythology, the universe began with Khaos (chaos or the chasm) who is said to represent air. After Khaos came Gaia, the Earth. After Earth came Tartarus (Hell), Eros (Love), Erebos (darkness) and Nyx (black night).
“Verily at the first Chaos came to be, but next wide-bosomed Earth, the ever-sure foundations of all the deathless ones who hold the peaks of snowy Olympus, and dim Tartarus in the depth of the wide-pathed Earth, and Eros (Love), fairest among the deathless gods, who unnerves the limbs and overcomes the mind and wise counsels of all gods and all men within them.” (Theogony, 116)
Written between 730 and 700 BC by the Greek poet Hesiod, Theogony provides a detailed account of the creation of the universe according to ancient Greek belief. In this, Gaia (the personification of Earth) was Uranus’ mother and his father was non-existent. Gaia, it is said, created Uranus on her own and made him “equal to herself, to cover her on every side, and to be an ever-sure abiding-place for the blessed gods.” (Theogony, 116)
Once Uranus had grown up, he became the consort of his mother. Together they produced the Titans - Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus, Theia, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Tethys, and Cronus. They also produced Cyclopes - Brontes, Arges, and Steropes as well as the Hectoncheires - Cottys, Briareus, and Gyges. It was these children who would create Uranus’ significance in ancient Greek mythology.
Despite producing so many children, Uranus was not a good or loving father. As his children grew up, Uranus grew paranoid that one of them may attempt to usurp him from his position as ruler of the universe.
In an attempt to prevent this, he sent some of them to Tartarus (Hell) where he imprisoned them. The children he took were the Cyclopes and the Hectoncheires. Understandably, Gaia was not going to allow this. She formed from the earth a great stone sickle and went to her children the Titans.
“And he used to hide them all away in a secret place of Earth so soon as each was born, and would not suffer them to come up into the light: and Heaven rejoiced in his evil doing. But vast Earth groaned within, being straitened, and she made the element of grey flint and shaped a great sickle, and told her plan to her dear sons.” (Theogony, 147)
The Titans, in this account, had been allowed to remain free and so Gaia sought their help in freeing her other children. All of them declined, perhaps too fearful of their father's wrath, apart from Cronus. Whilst this is the tale Hesiod records, some sources state that it took all of the Titans to overthrow their father.
Cronus hid in his parents’ bed chamber where he ambushed his father and castrated him. From the blood that fell from Uranus onto the earth there emerged more children. The Ernyes, the Giants, and the Meliae. From the foam that bubbled from his testicles which Cronus threw into the sea appeared the goddess Aphrodite.
The section of the tale where Uranus is overthrown by his son has become known as the first part of the “Succession Myth” in which a number of conflicts and successions between divine rulers takes place.
According to Hesiod it was Uranus who then named his children “The Titans” which comes from the Greek verb meaning “to strain.”
Earlier writings have recorded his father as Acmon who was a forgotten son of Gaia, whereas the Orphics record his father to be Nyx “Night” or as one of the gods who appeared from the “World Egg.” The Orphics were different from mainstream Greek religion, with their own practices and mythological texts.
The beginning of their universe began with the hatching of this “World Egg.” It is sometimes said that the egg was fashioned from Chronos who was the personification of time. In these records, if Uranus does not appear from the egg, it is said he’s created by Phanes who emerged from the egg first and was the creator of the gods.

There are many parallels between the Greek myth of Uranus and ancient Eastern mythology. The closest is perhaps the tale that comes of the Hurro-Hittite world. This is a myth which originated in Syria and Anatolia with the Hurrian and Hittite people. It seems that it then spread west to the Greeks.
According to their established cosmology, the god of the sky, Anu, ruled the cosmos. Eventually, Anu was overthrown by his cupbearer Kumbarbi, who proceeded to bite off Anu’s genitals. Anu then ate his own offspring, devouring them all until he was overthrown by the storm god Teshub. The similarities here are clear, Anu is Uranus, Kumbarbi is Cronus, and Teshub is Zeus.
There are further similarities between the Greek myth and Egyptian mythology. The latter also begins with the creation of the world when a couple by the name of Geb (Earth) and Nut (sky) separate from their embrace. In Mesopotamian mythology, Apsȗ (fresh water) and Tiamat (sea water) resemble Uranus and Gaia.
The reason he was not depicted in ancient Greek art is because he was seen as a force of nature rather than a god. He appeared in a metaphorical sense, as the sky or the heavens instead of as a physical, independent being. He was thought to embody the power of the sky which he used to give the earth (Gaia) warmth and humidity. These ideas and interpretations meant that he was an extremely difficult being to capture in artwork.
Despite being a primordial god and therefore extremely important to the construction of the universe according to ancient Greeks, he was not the most important deity according to their mythology. It was his grandson, Zeus, who would become the king of the gods.
According to the ancient Greeks, the sky was a dome which spread over the earth and was decorated with stars. This massive dome reached all the way to the very edges of the Earth. Because Uranus himself was the sky, the dome was his body, and when Apollo pulled his chariot across the sky to bring the sun up, he was actually racing across the body of his great-grandfather.
