KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia - Tens of American, European and other hostages were released Sunday and a gunman believed to be the lead Islamic militant holding them was arrested, a Saudi security official said, adding that two other gunmen were "in the process of being arrested."

It occurred in the daytime and I think the proper term for daytime meteors is fireball. Or something like that.

Oh, that's interesting.
Someone on here was just a week or so ago trying to find out places named Bethlehem in the US. Was it you, Vel? Can't remember.
But Bethlehem, hmm. Guess it's not a word islamos would like...

Interesting now the debunkers debunk themselves. Note the post below is a forum post at godlikeproductions and is not from me.

"Re: GLP was an "Aussie Bloke" experiment! so says the Monitors"
"I have no doubt that this message will be cross-posted, copied, pasted, and spread just as far and wide as my original "Monitors" message.
In less than 24 hours, you have all embraced an entirely fake post that offered NO corroborative evidence and NO verifiable proof of anything.
Like many of you, I was on the fence regarding AB, N&W, and even Lyros to some extent. Part of me remains convinced that an intelligent person, or group, can easily construct a plausible scenario that many people will believe in, simply because it SOUNDS good.
I could have left "The Monitors" (which, by the way, was taken from an old Space: Above and Beyond episode, for those of you who remember that awesome TV show), but I´m really not interested in sending people into mental institutions or home foreclosure, because they lost their minds over something they read on the internet.
This should clearly illustrate to you all that you NEED to improve your BS filters when you read something on the net. There are organized groups operating even now that will generate a hoax just for the bragging rights of doing it. If AB/N&W is a hoax, they are right now patting themselves on the backs and congratulating each other.
Honestly, I don´t know if it´s real, if any of it´s real, but I had to throw "The Monitors" into the mix to prove a point that MANY other posters have been shouting at you ever since this began.
It took me all of 15 minutes to write the "Monitors" message. If someone REALLY wanted to do their homework, ask some questions, and take some notes, they could create a story that most of us would be hard-pressed to refute.
Sure, I upset a lot of people, but you guys needed a wake up call. STOP BELIEVING EVERYTHING YOU READ ON THE INTERNET. Yes, mainstream media often misses or intentionally buries news items, and sites like GLP can be valuable resources in finding news that falls through the holes, but stories like AB´s go beyond all that, and delve deeply into the realm of complete and utter internet hoax.
Just look at what the reactions to my message were. Some people refused to believe that AB could be anything but the gospel. Some people realized it was a hastily prepared scam. Some people saw it as a logical explanation that reinforced something they´d been thinking all along.
In short, your reactions to my post were very much in line with your reactions to AB and the like.
I know you´ll all require proof that "The Monitors" message is a fake, and that I´m the one who did it. So, here goes.
BLIND SKIES is the proof - totally made it up on the spot, because it sounded good. AB kept saying look to the skies, but so many people weren´t seeing anything, so it sounded good. I googled it myself, and was surprised that the first hit actually had to do with asteroids. I laughed a little, but then included that part about COINCIDENCE as a result of my google experience. I picked it out of the blue, people, and it "hit" when searched on!
When I ´quoted´ AB and said LOOK TO THE SKIES and INVESTIGATE FOR YOURSELF, I fully expected you to do web searches on BLIND SKIES, and quickly learn that it probably doesn´t exist, never has, never will. I was a little surprised that the anagram hunters didn´t make an appearance (maybe they did and I missed it). Before I posted, I checked to make sure there´d be no "hits" on anagrams, and the closest I saw that you MIGHT latch onto was DISIN BS ELK.
I insinuated government "affiliation" ("The Monitors" never stated they WERE the government, yet many inferred that), because I knew that would add even more credibility. Many of you are convinced that TPTB are untrustworthy (and perhaps they are), so by adding that element, I insured that those disaffected people would likely get on board with my message.
Honestly and seriously, I don´t know if AB is telling the truth. Part of me wants to believe, and part of me just can´t accept it. I think the preponderance of evidence is against "him", thanks largely to the efforts of other posters on GLP who did the homework and dug for the truth.
Why are all the navies leaving port? I don´t know, but just because none of us know, it doesn´t mean AB is right. Whether you choose to believe it or not, coincidences DO happen.
In closing, I think you should read these articles on paranoia and conspiracy theory. I´ve seen them linked in a few other places, so now they´re on GLP, where maybe they can do the most good.
Interesting now the debunkers debunk themselves.

Uh-oh. I am getting very nervous. It has gotten noticeably darker where I am at and... oh my god, something is falling from the sky. There are thousands of objects falling from the sky as I type. What was that? Flashes of light and strange rumbling sounds. Aaaagh.

Guess who's at super-secret Bilderberg meeting today
Italy hosts 50th-anniversary confab of mysterious society of world leaders
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38783
Some observers are even speculating that President Bush will make an appearance at this year's event, just as Bill Clinton did at the group's 2000 meeting. By coincidence, it just happens that Bush will be in Italy over the weekend

Someone asked me about chatter. There's lots of it. Lots of it is worrying, like the praise of the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" because it "foretells the destruction of America".
This also concerns me. It seems that the jihadis are concerned about this. This is a brief excerpt. Most of the rest of the article is media reports from the US.
"100% of the American Fleet Has Embarked for Places Unknown".
"In this news report, the writer states that America possesses 12 aircraft carriers - 5 of them are in the maintenance, and are not able to sail. Of the remaining 7, they have been sent to the open seas in a military maneuver. Each aircraft carrier is accompanied by from 4 to 6 destroyers. 100% of the effective American naval force is not present in America. For those of you who believe that this just an excercise? Only the foolish believe America without any protection for the sake of a training. It isHe believed that those moves are in preparation for a surprise attack on Iran or Syria, and with it Bush guarantees an election win. Another interpretation is possible, and that is a rumour about a cosmic storm, according to brother Daoud Eissa"

Maybe this will clear your head : > )
RE: Emergency planning, naval and military mobilization "Yes, this is indeed something I wanted to highlight, although I am aware that some aspects of the naval mobilization are now in the public news domain.
What you are seeing here is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of a longer and finely coordinated military posture that is being coordinated in tandem with confidential inter-governmental taking place under the auspices of Swiss officials in Geneva.
Signs abound. There is a certain sub-strata of the civil service in London that, together with senior emergency planning officers, has been evacuated from its headquarters in the British capital. This took place very recently.
Many US military bases outside of home territory that were falling into disuse have been frantically refurbished and restocked over the last 18 months, and one must ask oneself why this is happening. The standard reason given for these unprecedented upgrades is ´preparedness´ in the so-called war on terrorism.
The United States military infrastructure is actually quite widely dispersed; a catastrophe affecting the land mass of North America alone would therefore not imperil the operational integrity of the US High Command. The same principle applies to American financial and economic instruments deployed ´in expatriate´: instruments largely inured against an anticipated collapse of the domestic banking and credit markets.
I found this gentleman's writings on projected meteor impacts rather interesting, as his predicted dates of arrival dovetail rather neatly with the current and future logistics pertaining to premium shipping lines, the navies of several large nations, military contingents and the movements of elite personnel.
The nation most advanced in this field of planning is Switzerland, where many in senior positions, especially in the security and medical professions, have been put on Stufe 2 since the beginning of April 2004. Even during the Cold War, most memorably the Cuban Crisis, the levels raised were hardly ever above Stufe 3.
I believe the levels in both Austria and Germany are lower. In the case of the latter, this is on no account due to ignorance or poor planning resources, but rather because of their concerns with secrecy and forcing a run on resources. People in Germany - and I live on the border, so I know - are becoming aware that something strange is transpiring within the emergency planning regime, if only because there has been extensive re-testing of the outdated airborne attack warning sirens.
I still keep in touch with many friends and colleagues who work for the diplomatic corps in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, many of whom are currently spending an inordinate amount of their residual time locked in emergency preparedness that goes way beyond any threat that can be reasonably ascribed to terrorism."
I think I have acute cognitive dissnonance.

"And now we return to our regular programming of "As the World Burns"" LOL! I am reminded...
Anyone from Chicagoland remember "Son Of Svengoolie(sp)"?
He hosted those B "Horror" movies back in the 70-80's. Anyway he sang a little song once that stuck in my head to this day.
Sung to the tune of Mr. Rogers "Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood"..
"It's a beautiful day in the universe,a solar eruption would make it worse.
It would burn us.
Yes, it'd burn us."
Hahaha

I was just comparing an Ajeeb translation that someone sent me with the original Arabic, and I see that Ajeeb is leaving out pertinent phrases - not garbling them but leaving them out completely.
I'm sending the Arabic to another translator and getting a second opinion to ensure that I am not mistaken. But this is NOT good. I've already seen some Ajeeb translations that completely misrepresent what the article is about.

So far, there's no mention what exactly this means...
I'll check back later and see if there are any updates.
