Kan een afbeelding zijn van hond

Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

    UFO's of UAP'S in België en de rest van de wereld
    In België had je vooral BUFON of het Belgisch UFO-Netwerk, dat zich met UFO's bezighoudt. BEZOEK DUS ZEKER VOOR ALLE OBJECTIEVE INFORMATIE , enkel nog beschikbaar via Facebook en deze blog. Verder heb je ook het Belgisch-Ufo-meldpunt en Caelestia, die prachtig, doch ZEER kritisch werk leveren, ja soms zelfs héél sceptisch... Voor Nederland kan je de mooie site www.ufowijzer.nl bezoeken van Paul Harmans. Een mooie site met veel informatie en artikels. MUFON of het Mutual UFO Network Inc is een Amerikaanse UFO-vereniging met afdelingen in alle USA-staten en diverse landen. MUFON's mission is the analytical and scientific investigation of the UFO- Phenomenon for the benefit of humanity... Je kan ook hun site bekijken onder www.mufon.com. Ze geven een maandelijks tijdschrift uit, namelijk The MUFON UFO-Journal. Since 02/01/2020 is Pieter ex-president (=voorzitter) of BUFON, but also ex-National Director MUFON / Flanders and the Netherlands. We work together with the French MUFON Reseau MUFON/EUROP. ER IS EEN NIEUWE GROEPERING DIE ZICH BUFON NOEMT, MAAR DIE HEBBEN NIETS MET ONZE GROEP TE MAKEN. DEZE COLLEGA'S GEBRUIKEN DE NAAM BUFON VOOR HUN SITE... Ik wens hen veel succes met de verdere uitbouw van hun groep. Zij kunnen de naam BUFON wel geregistreerd hebben, maar het rijke verleden van BUFON kunnen ze niet wegnemen...

    Biggest news today is the election of Pope Francis to head the Roman Catholic Church. Diane Tessman takes a look at the prophecy concerning the new Pontiff. Next, Pat Regan takes a totally different view at the Pope and the Catholic Church. Then, Sean Casteel, explores the life of UFO contactee Oscar Magocsi! I published a number of reports this week: everything from UFOs over Massachusetts to Russell Crowe photographing a UFO! Doc Vega submits various articles on UFO lore. Alfred Lambremont Webre writes about Planet X/Nibiru and an alternative timeline! Roger Marsh reports on a UFO hovering over family trailer. Then, R.W. Sanders asks if there is someone willing to meet an alien? I published a report by Phil Johnson concerning a UFO over Berwickshire, UK. Louis Hart offers more of his wisdom. Floco Tausin writes more about Floaters and the I Ching. Then lastly, Lori Carter writes about a powerless electric city. Enjoy Dirk.< /font>

    Pope Francis: Nostradamus and Malachy Wrong? by Diane Tessman. The easy answer is, “Yes!” The prophecies of Nostradamus and Saint Malachy were proven wrong yesterday as the Catholic cardinals chose Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Archbishop of Argentina, as the new pope. At first glance, there seems to be no connection between Pope Francis and the famous (or infamous), prophecies that Peter Romanus would be the last pope as “two suns” blaze in the sky (Comet ISON). More... Also read: Aliens: Is The Real Intelligence Behind These Avatars?< /font>

    A New Pope, but sinister darkness resides behind the celebrations by Pat Regan. So now, in March 2013, the Catholic Church is in a jubilant state of ecstasy over its brand new Jesuit Pope Francis. Born in Argentina, Pope Francis is the first Latin American to lead the Roman Catholic Church. He’s also the first Jesuit to hold the position. Nuns, priests and the general Catholic throng are happily exchanging greetings together about the papal news. It’s all ecclesiastical joy, huge hugs and big kisses. More...

    The Many Worlds And Other Dimensions Of Oscar Magocsi, UFO Contactee Extraordinaire by Sean Casteel. His is an old-fashioned UFO story in the same vein as George Adamski and Daniel Fry. He was not abducted by grey aliens, but communicated face-to-face with blonde-haired, blue-eyed Nordic types. It’s a pretty much “nuts-and-bolts” encounter with a couple of junkets to other planets and another dimension or two. Nothing out of the ordinary. Ever heard the name Oscar Magocsi? No? Doesn’t ring a bell? More...

    Blue Unknown Craft Photographed Over Massachusetts by Dirk Vander Ploeg. Publisher's Note: Received an email this morning from one of our readers Diane P. She enclosed the following photograph and these facts. The photo was taken on February 21, 2013. The time was 20:21 (8:21 PM) Eastern Time. It is photographed in Massachusetts, United States. More...  Also read: Australian Actor Russell Crowe Defends UFO Clip

    Night Siege in Nome by Doc Vega. In October 2000, a frightening chain of events unfolded and shed a new sinister light on the abduction syndrome. Until that time most researchers involved in that esoteric field of medical and psychological research viewed abductions as mysterious and compelling, but not necessarily monstrous and terrifying!

    Planet X/Nibiru event in alternate timeline? by Alfred Lambremont Webre. In this important February 16, 2013 Video update, Dr. Courtney Brown, director of the Farsight Institute discusses his interim findings on the June 1, 2008- June 1, 2013 Global Climate Change Remote-Viewing Study Multiple Realities, Timelines, and Events. In this video update, Dr. Brown concludes that 15 February 2013 meteor event over Russia, the largest since the Tunguska event, coupled with the close approach of the roughly 50 metre asteroid...More...

    UFO Disc Hovers Over West Virginia Families' Trailer by Roger Marsh. West Virginia family members at Bridgeport reported what first appeared to be a plane making an emergency landing was actually a disc-shaped object hovering above a trailer about 9 p.m. on March 12, 2013, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database. More...

    WANTED: Someone Willing To Meet An Alien by R.W. Sanders. Never ask a question that you don't want answered. Always sage advice, but this time I actually would enjoy several of the answers I received when I authored a piece here at UFO Digest. I challenged ET and called him out rather roughly. I was simultaneously malevolent and benevolent. While letting ET know he had a public relations problem, I offered my assistance. I informed him that his reluctance to show himself was being interpreted as cowardice. More...

    UFO Photographed Over Berwickshire UK by Phil Johnson. NEW pictures of the strange blue object spotted in the Berwickshire night sky last month have added another layer of intrigue to what some say is a UFO mystery. Paul Taylor was driving home from Berwick to Duns on February 1 when an unusual patch of light in the dark sky caught his attention. More...

    Spirit Calls by Louis Hart. Often, early in the morning, I know from the moment I awaken that I need to travel to some physical place and make a connection there. I refer to these as spirit calls. It’s as if I’m being summoned. It’s not that I am bound by some force to go, but I have learned that when I respond the result is often an incredible experience. More... Also read: Return Of The Mystery Planet

    Floaters and the I Ching by Floco Tausin. In China, the Book of Changes (I Ching) is one of the most important books used for divination and self-realization. Its principle may have been developed from the perception of eye floaters during altered states of consciousness. “Eye floaters” (mouches volantes or muscae volitantes in French and German ophthalmology) is a collective term used in ophthalmology for all possible opacities in the vitreous.

    Where Were You When the Lights Went Out in the Electric City? by Lori Carter. Sunday, March 10, 2013 and it's raining outside again. I wonder if we will experience the same thing tonight that we did last night. Butler, "The Electric City", so named for being the first city west of the Mississippi River to have electricity loses power whenever the weather changes. If it rains, if it snows, if it is hot, or if it blows you should automatically start reaching for your flashlights. They usually get it back on pretty quick, and it usually only goes out in pockets.

    Why Do People Believe In Aliens, Angels and Conspiracies?

    Aliens
    Is it just us, or does it seem like everyone is turning into a conspiracy theorist these days?

    Aliens, spirit guides, the Illuminati – name some mysterious pocket of paranoia or eccentric belief, and there is some kind of massive online community dedicated to understanding it.

    While conducting research for our recent white paper on the explosion of Conscious Media, we noticed that one particular subsegment of the Conscious Media Consumer market - the "Mystery Hunter" - is on the rise. No longer limited to a fringe subculture, we discovered that people from all walks of life - from millennials to suburban moms - are becoming fascinated by strange belief systems...

    What is driving people to entertain the supernatural and outlandish? Two powerful cultural shifts are accelerating this trend:

    1) Religion on the decline:

    The Pew Research Center dropped a bombshell report late last year revealing that "one out of five U.S. adults do not identify with a specific religion, and the number of Protestants has for the first time dipped significantly below 50 percent." The decline of religion has created a huge vacuum. Whereas historically most people have relied on the guiding narrative of religion to inform their life decisions and moral choices, now many have withdrawn from organized religion.  Yet they often still hunger for something to believe in. People want to believe because they are increasingly open-minded and there is more that is inexplicable as traditional institutions break down. This new mindset was recently highlighted in the popular Salon article “Religion may not survive the Internet,” which details how factors such as the proliferation of “cool” science media (think Neil deGrasse Tyson’s work) has promoted a more scientific point of view.

    2) The Ubiquity of Information:

    The Internet has provided a unique platform for niche interests to proliferate. And in a noisy environment, weirdness rises to the top -- content creators need fresh novelty to continually attract views. This primes the modern content consumer to entertain unusual ideas. Add this to the speed and amplification effect of the Internet, and you have a recipe for success.

    Time will tell where this swell of non-traditional beliefs will lead society as a whole, but to understand the conscious consumer further and find some clues, please read our report for more information.

    If you would to go deeper and understand how your company can sync with the Conscious Consumer market, please get in touch with us at info@sparksandhoney.com.

    We used to think agriculture gave rise to cities and later to writing, art, and religion. Now the world’s oldest temple suggests the urge to worship sparked civilization.

    Every now and then the dawn of civilization is reenacted on a remote hilltop in southern Turkey.

    The reenactors are busloads of tourists—usually Turkish, sometimes European. The buses (white, air-conditioned, equipped with televisions) blunder over the winding, indifferently paved road to the ridge and dock like dreadnoughts before a stone portal. Visitors flood out, fumbling with water bottles and MP3 players. Guides call out instructions and explanations. Paying no attention, the visitors straggle up the hill. When they reach the top, their mouths flop open with amazement, making a line of perfect cartoon O's.

    Before them are dozens of massive stone pillars arranged into a set of rings, one mashed up against the next. Known as Göbekli Tepe (pronounced Guh-behk-LEE TEH-peh), the site is vaguely reminiscent of Stonehenge, except that Göbekli Tepe was built much earlier and is made not from roughly hewn blocks but from cleanly carved limestone pillars splashed with bas-reliefs of animals—a cavalcade of gazelles, snakes, foxes, scorpions, and ferocious wild boars. The assemblage was built some 11,600 years ago, seven millennia before the Great Pyramid of Giza. It contains the oldest known temple. Indeed, Göbekli Tepe is the oldest known example of monumental architecture—the first structure human beings put together that was bigger and more complicated than a hut. When these pillars were erected, so far as we know, nothing of comparable scale existed in the world.

    At the time of Göbekli Tepe's construction much of the human race lived in small nomadic bands that survived by foraging for plants and hunting wild animals. Construction of the site would have required more people coming together in one place than had likely occurred before. Amazingly, the temple's builders were able to cut, shape, and transport 16-ton stones hundreds of feet despite having no wheels or beasts of burden. The pilgrims who came to Göbekli Tepe lived in a world without writing, metal, or pottery; to those approaching the temple from below, its pillars must have loomed overhead like rigid giants, the animals on the stones shivering in the firelight—emissaries from a spiritual world that the human mind may have only begun to envision.

    Archaeologists are still excavating Göbekli Tepe and debating its meaning. What they do know is that the site is the most significant in a volley of unexpected findings that have overturned earlier ideas about our species' deep past. Just 20 years ago most researchers believed they knew the time, place, and rough sequence of the Neolithic Revolution—the critical transition that resulted in the birth of agriculture, taking Homo sapiens from scattered groups of hunter-gatherers to farming villages and from there to technologically sophisticated societies with great temples and towers and kings and priests who directed the labor of their subjects and recorded their feats in written form. But in recent years multiple new discoveries, Göbekli Tepe preeminent among them, have begun forcing archaeologists to reconsider.

    At first the Neolithic Revolution was viewed as a single event—a sudden flash of genius—that occurred in a single location, Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in what is now southern Iraq, then spread to India, Europe, and beyond. Most archaeologists believed this sudden blossoming of civilization was driven largely by environmental changes: a gradual warming as the Ice Age ended that allowed some people to begin cultivating plants and herding animals in abundance. The new research suggests that the "revolution" was actually carried out by many hands across a huge area and over thousands of years. And it may have been driven not by the environment but by something else entirely.

    After a moment of stunned quiet, tourists at the site busily snap pictures with cameras and cell phones. Eleven millennia ago nobody had digital imaging equipment, of course. Yet things have changed less than one might think. Most of the world's great religious centers, past and present, have been destinations for pilgrimages—think of the Vatican, Mecca, Jerusalem, Bodh Gaya (where Buddha was enlightened), or Cahokia (the enormous Native American complex near St. Louis). They are monuments for spiritual travelers, who often came great distances, to gawk at and be stirred by. Göbekli Tepe may be the first of all of them, the beginning of a pattern. What it suggests, at least to the archaeologists working there, is that the human sense of the sacred—and the human love of a good spectacle—may have given rise to civilization itself.

    Klaus Schmidt knew almost instantly that he was going to be spending a lot of time at Göbekli Tepe. Now a researcher at the German Archaeological Institute (DAI), Schmidt had spent the autumn of 1994 trundling across southeastern Turkey. He had been working at a site there for a few years and was looking for another place to excavate. The biggest city in the area is Şanlıurfa (pronounced shan-LYOOR-fa). By the standards of a brash newcomer like London, Şanlıurfa is incredibly old—the place where the Prophet Abraham supposedly was born. Schmidt was in the city to find a place that would help him understand the Neolithic, a place that would make Şanlıurfa look young. North of Şanlıurfa the ground ripples into the first foothills of the mountains that run across southern Turkey, source of the famous Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Nine miles outside of town is a long ridge with a rounded crest that locals call Potbelly Hill—Göbekli Tepe.

    In the 1960s archaeologists from the University of Chicago had surveyed the region and concluded that Göbekli Tepe was of little interest. Disturbance was evident at the top of the hill, but they attributed it to the activities of a Byzantine-era military outpost. Here and there were broken pieces of limestone they thought were gravestones. Schmidt had come across the Chicago researchers' brief description of the hilltop and decided to check it out. On the ground he saw flint chips—huge numbers of them. "Within minutes of getting there," Schmidt says, he realized that he was looking at a place where scores or even hundreds of people had worked in millennia past. The limestone slabs were not Byzantine graves but something much older. In collaboration with the DAI and the Şanlıurfa Museum, he set to work the next year.

    Inches below the surface the team struck an elaborately fashioned stone. Then another, and another—a ring of standing pillars. As the months and years went by, Schmidt's team, a shifting crew of German and Turkish graduate students and 50 or more local villagers, found a second circle of stones, then a third, and then more. Geomagnetic surveys in 2003 revealed at least 20 rings piled together, higgledy-piggledy, under the earth.

    The pillars were big—the tallest are 18 feet in height and weigh 16 tons. Swarming over their surfaces was a menagerie of animal bas-reliefs, each in a different style, some roughly rendered, a few as refined and symbolic as Byzantine art. Other parts of the hill were littered with the greatest store of ancient flint tools Schmidt had ever seen—a Neolithic warehouse of knives, choppers, and projectile points. Even though the stone had to be lugged from neighboring valleys, Schmidt says, "there were more flints in one little area here, a square meter or two, than many archaeologists find in entire sites."

    The circles follow a common design. All are made from limestone pillars shaped like giant spikes or capital T's. Bladelike, the pillars are easily five times as wide as they are deep. They stand an arm span or more apart, interconnected by low stone walls. In the middle of each ring are two taller pillars, their thin ends mounted in shallow grooves cut into the floor. I asked German architect and civil engineer Eduard Knoll, who works with Schmidt to preserve the site, how well designed the mounting system was for the central pillars. "Not," he said, shaking his head. "They hadn't yet mastered engineering." Knoll speculated that the pillars may have been propped up, perhaps by wooden posts.

    To Schmidt, the T-shaped pillars are stylized human beings, an idea bolstered by the carved arms that angle from the "shoulders" of some pillars, hands reaching toward their loincloth-draped bellies. The stones face the center of the circle—as at "a meeting or dance," Schmidt says—a representation, perhaps, of a religious ritual. As for the prancing, leaping animals on the figures, he noted that they are mostly deadly creatures: stinging scorpions, charging boars, ferocious lions. The figures represented by the pillars may be guarded by them, or appeasing them, or incorporating them as totems.

    Puzzle piled upon puzzle as the excavation continued. For reasons yet unknown, the rings at Göbekli Tepe seem to have regularly lost their power, or at least their charm. Every few decades people buried the pillars and put up new stones—a second, smaller ring, inside the first. Sometimes, later, they installed a third. Then the whole assemblage would be filled in with debris, and an entirely new circle created nearby. The site may have been built, filled in, and built again for centuries.

    Bewilderingly, the people at Göbekli Tepe got steadily worse at temple building. The earliest rings are the biggest and most sophisticated, technically and artistically. As time went by, the pillars became smaller, simpler, and were mounted with less and less care. Finally the effort seems to have petered out altogether by 8200 B.C. Göbekli Tepe was all fall and no rise.

    As important as what the researchers found was what they did not find: any sign of habitation. Hundreds of people must have been required to carve and erect the pillars, but the site had no water source—the nearest stream was about three miles away. Those workers would have needed homes, but excavations have uncovered no sign of walls, hearths, or houses—no other buildings that Schmidt has interpreted as domestic. They would have had to be fed, but there is also no trace of agriculture. For that matter, Schmidt has found no mess kitchens or cooking fires. It was purely a ceremonial center. If anyone ever lived at this site, they were less its residents than its staff. To judge by the thousands of gazelle and aurochs bones found at the site, the workers seem to have been fed by constant shipments of game, brought from faraway hunts. All of this complex endeavor must have had organizers and overseers, but there is as yet no good evidence of a social hierarchy—no living area reserved for richer people, no tombs filled with elite goods, no sign of some people having better diets than others.

    "These people were foragers," Schmidt says, people who gathered plants and hunted wild animals. "Our picture of foragers was always just small, mobile groups, a few dozen people. They cannot make big permanent structures, we thought, because they must move around to follow the resources. They can't maintain a separate class of priests and craft workers, because they can't carry around all the extra supplies to feed them. Then here is Göbekli Tepe, and they obviously did that."

    Discovering that hunter-gatherers had constructed Göbekli Tepe was like finding that someone had built a 747 in a basement with an X-Acto knife. "I, my colleagues, we all thought, What? How?" Schmidt said. Paradoxically, Göbekli Tepe appeared to be both a harbinger of the civilized world that was to come and the last, greatest emblem of a nomadic past that was already disappearing. The accomplishment was astonishing, but it was hard to understand how it had been done or what it meant. "In 10 or 15 years," Schmidt predicts, "Göbekli Tepe will be more famous than Stonehenge. And for good reason."

    Hovering over Göbekli Tepe is the ghost of V. Gordon Childe. An Australian transplant to Britain, Childe was a flamboyant man, a passionate Marxist who wore plus fours and bow ties and larded his public addresses with noodle-headed paeans to Stalinism. He was also one of the most influential archaeologists of the past century. A great synthesist, Childe wove together his colleagues' disconnected facts into overarching intellectual schemes. The most famous of these arose in the 1920s, when he invented the concept of the Neolithic Revolution.

    In today's terms, Childe's views could be summed up like this: Homo sapiens burst onto the scene about 200,000 years ago. For most of the millennia that followed, the species changed remarkably little, with humans living as small bands of wandering foragers. Then came the Neolithic Revolution—"a radical change," Childe said, "fraught with revolutionary consequences for the whole species." In a lightning bolt of inspiration, one part of humankind turned its back on foraging and embraced agriculture. The adoption of farming, Childe argued, brought with it further transformations. To tend their fields, people had to stop wandering and move into permanent villages, where they developed new tools and created pottery. The Neolithic Revolution, in his view, was an explosively important event—"the greatest in human history after the mastery of fire."

    Of all the aspects of the revolution, agriculture was the most important. For thousands of years men and women with stone implements had wandered the landscape, cutting off heads of wild grain and taking them home. Even though these people may have tended and protected their grain patches, the plants they watched over were still wild. Wild wheat and barley, unlike their domesticated versions, shatter when they are ripe—the kernels easily break off the plant and fall to the ground, making them next to impossible to harvest when fully ripe. Genetically speaking, true grain agriculture began only when people planted large new areas with mutated plants that did not shatter at maturity, creating fields of domesticated wheat and barley that, so to speak, waited for farmers to harvest them.

    Rather than having to comb through the landscape for food, people could now grow as much as they needed and where they needed it, so they could live together in larger groups. Population soared. "It was only after the revolution—but immediately thereafter—that our species really began to multiply at all fast," Childe wrote. In these suddenly more populous societies, ideas could be more readily exchanged, and rates of technological and social innovation soared. Religion and art—the hallmarks of civilization—flourished.

    Childe, like most researchers today, believed that the revolution first occurred in the Fertile Crescent, the arc of land that curves northeast from Gaza into southern Turkey and then sweeps southeast into Iraq. Bounded on the south by the harsh Syrian Desert and on the north by the mountains of Turkey, the crescent is a band of temperate climate between inhospitable extremes. Its eastern terminus is the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in southern Iraq—the site of a realm known as Sumer, which dates back to about 4000 B.C. In Childe's day most researchers agreed that Sumer represented the beginning of civilization. Archaeologist Samuel Noah Kramer summed up that view in the 1950s in his book History Begins at Sumer. Yet even before Kramer finished writing, the picture was being revised at the opposite, western end of the Fertile Crescent. In the Levant—the area that today encompasses Israel, the Palestinian territories, Lebanon, Jordan, and western Syria—archaeologists had discovered settlements dating as far back as 13,000 B.C. Known as Natufian villages (the name comes from the first of these sites to be found), they sprang up across the Levant as the Ice Age was drawing to a close, ushering in a time when the region's climate became relatively warm and wet.

    The discovery of the Natufians was the first rock through the window of Childe's Neolithic Revolution. Childe had thought agriculture the necessary spark that led to villages and ignited civilization. Yet although the Natufians lived in permanent settlements of up to several hundred people, they were foragers, not farmers, hunting gazelles and gathering wild rye, barley, and wheat. "It was a big sign that our ideas needed to be revised," says Harvard University archaeologist Ofer Bar-Yosef.

    Natufian villages ran into hard times around 10,800 B.C., when regional temperatures abruptly fell some 12°F, part of a mini ice age that lasted 1,200 years and created much drier conditions across the Fertile Crescent. With animal habitat and grain patches shrinking, a number of villages suddenly became too populous for the local food supply. Many people once again became wandering foragers, searching the landscape for remaining food sources.

    Some settlements tried to adjust to the more arid conditions. The village of Abu Hureyra, in what is now northern Syria, seemingly tried to cultivate local stands of rye, perhaps replanting them. After examining rye grains from the site, Gordon Hillman of University College London and Andrew Moore of the Rochester Institute of Technology argued in 2000 that some were bigger than their wild equivalents—a possible sign of domestication, because cultivation inevitably increases qualities, such as fruit and seed size, that people find valuable. Bar-Yosef and some other researchers came to believe that nearby sites like Mureybet and Tell Qaramel also had had agriculture.

    If these archaeologists were correct, these protovillages provided a new explanation of how complex society began. Childe thought that agriculture came first, that it was the innovation that allowed humans to seize the opportunity of a rich new environment to extend their dominion over the natural world. The Natufian sites in the Levant suggested instead that settlement came first and that farming arose later, as a product of crisis. Confronted with a drying, cooling environment and growing populations, humans in the remaining fecund areas thought, as Bar-Yosef puts it, "If we move, these other folks will exploit our resources. The best way for us to survive is to settle down and exploit our own area." Agriculture followed.

    The idea that the Neolithic Revolution was driven by climate change resonated during the 1990s, a time when people were increasingly worried about the effects of modern global warming. It was promoted in countless articles and books and ultimately enshrined in Wikipedia. Yet critics charged that the evidence was weak, not least because Abu Hureyra, Mureybet, and many other sites in northern Syria had been flooded by dams before they could be fully excavated. "You had an entire theory on the origins of human culture essentially based on a half a dozen unusually plump seeds," ancient-grain specialist George Willcox of the National Center for Scientific Research, in France, says. "Isn't it more likely that these grains were puffed during charring or that somebody at Abu Hureyra found some unusual-looking wild rye?"

    As the dispute over the Natufians sharpened, Schmidt was carefully working at Göbekli Tepe. And what he was finding would, once again, force many researchers to reassess their ideas.

    Anthropologists have assumed that organized religion began as a way of salving the tensions that inevitably arose when hunter-gatherers settled down, became farmers, and developed large societies. Compared to a nomadic band, the society of a village had longer term, more complex aims—storing grain and maintaining permanent homes. Villages would be more likely to accomplish those aims if their members were committed to the collective enterprise. Though primitive religious practices—burying the dead, creating cave art and figurines—had emerged tens of thousands of years earlier, organized religion arose, in this view, only when a common vision of a celestial order was needed to bind together these big, new, fragile groups of humankind. It could also have helped justify the social hierarchy that emerged in a more complex society: Those who rose to power were seen as having a special connection with the gods. Communities of the faithful, united in a common view of the world and their place in it, were more cohesive than ordinary clumps of quarreling people.

    Göbekli Tepe, to Schmidt's way of thinking, suggests a reversal of that scenario: The construction of a massive temple by a group of foragers is evidence that organized religion could have come before the rise of agriculture and other aspects of civilization. It suggests that the human impulse to gather for sacred rituals arose as humans shifted from seeing themselves as part of the natural world to seeking mastery over it. When foragers began settling down in villages, they unavoidably created a divide between the human realm—a fixed huddle of homes with hundreds of inhabitants—and the dangerous land beyond the campfire, populated by lethal beasts.

    French archaeologist Jacques Cauvin believed this change in consciousness was a "revolution of symbols," a conceptual shift that allowed humans to imagine gods—supernatural beings resembling humans—that existed in a universe beyond the physical world. Schmidt sees Göbekli Tepe as evidence for Cauvin's theory. "The animals were guardians to the spirit world," he says. "The reliefs on the T-shaped pillars illustrate that other world."

    Schmidt speculates that foragers living within a hundred-mile radius of Göbekli Tepe created the temple as a holy place to gather and meet, perhaps bringing gifts and tributes to its priests and crafts­people. Some kind of social organization would have been necessary not only to build it but also to deal with the crowds it attracted. One imagines chanting and drumming, the animals on the great pillars seeming to move in flickering torchlight. Surely there were feasts; Schmidt has uncovered stone basins that could have been used for beer. The temple was a spiritual locus, but it may also have been the Neolithic version of Disneyland.

    Over time, Schmidt believes, the need to acquire sufficient food for those who worked and gathered for ceremonies at Göbekli Tepe may have led to the intensive cultivation of wild cereals and the creation of some of the first domestic strains. Indeed, scientists now believe that one center of agriculture arose in southern Turkey—well within trekking distance of Göbekli Tepe—at exactly the time the temple was at its height. Today the closest known wild ancestors of modern einkorn wheat are found on the slopes of Karaca Dağ, a mountain just 60 miles northeast of Göbekli Tepe. In other words, the turn to agriculture celebrated by V. Gordon Childe may have been the result of a need that runs deep in the human psyche, a hunger that still moves people today to travel the globe in search of awe-inspiring sights.

    Some of the first evidence for plant domestication comes from Nevalı Çori (pronounced nuh-vah-LUH CHO-ree), a settlement in the mountains scarcely 20 miles away. Like Göbekli Tepe, Nevalı Çori came into existence right after the mini ice age, a time archaeologists describe with the unlovely term Pre-pottery Neolithic (PPN). Nevalı Çori is now inundated by a recently created lake that provides electricity and irrigation water for the region. But before the waters shut down research, archaeologists found T-shaped pillars and animal images much like those Schmidt would later uncover at Göbekli Tepe. Similar pillars and images occurred in PPN settlements up to a hundred miles from Göbekli Tepe. Much as one can surmise today that homes with images of the Virgin Mary belong to Christians, Schmidt says, the imagery in these PPN sites indicates a shared religion—a community of faith that surrounded Göbekli Tepe and may have been the world's first truly large religious grouping.

    Naturally, some of Schmidt's colleagues disagree with his ideas. The lack of evidence of houses, for instance, doesn't prove that nobody lived at Göbekli Tepe. And increasingly, archaeologists studying the origins of civilization in the Fertile Crescent are suspicious of any attempt to find a one-size-fits-all scenario, to single out one primary trigger. It is more as if the occupants of various archaeological sites were all playing with the building blocks of civilization, looking for combinations that worked. In one place agriculture may have been the foundation; in another, art and religion; and over there, population pressures or social organization and hierarchy. Eventually they all ended up in the same place. Perhaps there is no single path to civilization; instead it was arrived at by different means in different places.

    In Schmidt's view, many of his colleagues have been as slow to appreciate Göbekli Tepe as he has been to excavate it. This summer will mark his 17th year at the site. The annals of archaeology are replete with scientists who in their hurry carelessly wrecked important finds, losing knowledge for all time. Schmidt is determined not to add his name to the list. Today less than a tenth of the 22-acre site is open to the sky.

    Schmidt emphasizes that further research on Göbekli Tepe may change his current understanding of the site's importance. Even its age is not clear—Schmidt is not certain he has reached the bottom layer. "We come up with two new mysteries for every one that we solve," he says. Still, he has already drawn some conclusions. "Twenty years ago everyone believed civilization was driven by ecological forces," Schmidt says. "I think what we are learning is that civilization is a product of the human mind."

    Göbekli Tepe, to Schmidt's way of thinking, suggests a reversal of that scenario: The construction of a massive temple by a group of foragers is evidence that organized religion could have come before the rise of agriculture and other aspects of civilization. It suggests that the human impulse to gather for sacred rituals arose as humans shifted from seeing themselves as part of the natural world to seeking mastery over it. When foragers began settling down in villages, they unavoidably created a divide between the human realm—a fixed huddle of homes with hundreds of inhabitants—and the dangerous land beyond the campfire, populated by lethal beasts.

    French archaeologist Jacques Cauvin believed this change in consciousness was a "revolution of symbols," a conceptual shift that allowed humans to imagine gods—supernatural beings resembling humans—that existed in a universe beyond the physical world. Schmidt sees Göbekli Tepe as evidence for Cauvin's theory. "The animals were guardians to the spirit world," he says. "The reliefs on the T-shaped pillars illustrate that other world."

    Schmidt speculates that foragers living within a hundred-mile radius of Göbekli Tepe created the temple as a holy place to gather and meet, perhaps bringing gifts and tributes to its priests and crafts­people. Some kind of social organization would have been necessary not only to build it but also to deal with the crowds it attracted. One imagines chanting and drumming, the animals on the great pillars seeming to move in flickering torchlight. Surely there were feasts; Schmidt has uncovered stone basins that could have been used for beer. The temple was a spiritual locus, but it may also have been the Neolithic version of Disneyland.

    Over time, Schmidt believes, the need to acquire sufficient food for those who worked and gathered for ceremonies at Göbekli Tepe may have led to the intensive cultivation of wild cereals and the creation of some of the first domestic strains. Indeed, scientists now believe that one center of agriculture arose in southern Turkey—well within trekking distance of Göbekli Tepe—at exactly the time the temple was at its height. Today the closest known wild ancestors of modern einkorn wheat are found on the slopes of Karaca Dağ, a mountain just 60 miles northeast of Göbekli Tepe. In other words, the turn to agriculture celebrated by V. Gordon Childe may have been the result of a need that runs deep in the human psyche, a hunger that still moves people today to travel the globe in search of awe-inspiring sights.

    Some of the first evidence for plant domestication comes from Nevalı Çori (pronounced nuh-vah-LUH CHO-ree), a settlement in the mountains scarcely 20 miles away. Like Göbekli Tepe, Nevalı Çori came into existence right after the mini ice age, a time archaeologists describe with the unlovely term Pre-pottery Neolithic (PPN). Nevalı Çori is now inundated by a recently created lake that provides electricity and irrigation water for the region. But before the waters shut down research, archaeologists found T-shaped pillars and animal images much like those Schmidt would later uncover at Göbekli Tepe. Similar pillars and images occurred in PPN settlements up to a hundred miles from Göbekli Tepe. Much as one can surmise today that homes with images of the Virgin Mary belong to Christians, Schmidt says, the imagery in these PPN sites indicates a shared religion—a community of faith that surrounded Göbekli Tepe and may have been the world's first truly large religious grouping.

    Naturally, some of Schmidt's colleagues disagree with his ideas. The lack of evidence of houses, for instance, doesn't prove that nobody lived at Göbekli Tepe. And increasingly, archaeologists studying the origins of civilization in the Fertile Crescent are suspicious of any attempt to find a one-size-fits-all scenario, to single out one primary trigger. It is more as if the occupants of various archaeological sites were all playing with the building blocks of civilization, looking for combinations that worked. In one place agriculture may have been the foundation; in another, art and religion; and over there, population pressures or social organization and hierarchy. Eventually they all ended up in the same place. Perhaps there is no single path to civilization; instead it was arrived at by different means in different places.

    In Schmidt's view, many of his colleagues have been as slow to appreciate Göbekli Tepe as he has been to excavate it. This summer will mark his 17th year at the site. The annals of archaeology are replete with scientists who in their hurry carelessly wrecked important finds, losing knowledge for all time. Schmidt is determined not to add his name to the list. Today less than a tenth of the 22-acre site is open to the sky.

    Schmidt emphasizes that further research on Göbekli Tepe may change his current understanding of the site's importance. Even its age is not clear—Schmidt is not certain he has reached the bottom layer. "We come up with two new mysteries for every one that we solve," he says. Still, he has already drawn some conclusions. "Twenty years ago everyone believed civilization was driven by ecological forces," Schmidt says. "I think what we are learning is that civilization is a product of the human mind."

    Charles C. Mann’s new book, 1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created, is due out in August. Vincent J. Musi photographed the domestication of animals for our March issue.
    "We come up with two new mysteries for every one that we solve," he says. Still, he has already drawn some conclusions. "Twenty years ago everyone believed civilization was driven by ecological forces," Schmidt says. "I think what we are learning is that civilization is a product of the human mind."
    ("Pour chaque énigme résolue deux nouvelles surgissent (...) Il y a vingt ans tout le monde croyait que la civilisation était soumise aux forces naturelles ; tout ici nous démontre, en fait,
    que la civilisation est un pur produit de l'esprit humain."

    http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2011/06/gobekli-tepe/mann-text/2

    Il reste que Göbekli Tepe est antérieur de 7000 ans à Khéops et de 8500 ans à Stonehenge, ce dernier par comparaison ressemblant à un entassement de cailloux ! Abstraction faite même des théories du paléocontact, cette découverte nous enseigne au moins que les origines de nos civilisations sont bien plus anciennes qu'on le croyait. Mieux, elle nous fait découvrir des aspects inédits du mode de pensée et de la culture humaines.

    “I feel the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation.”

    In special reports, this week’s files cover:

    General Twining’s Air Material Command UFO Report,
    Stargate Chronicles, and
    Our Star Ancestors by Nancy Redstar.

    Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia,  Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, and Virginia.

    Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, Guyana, Puerto Rico, England in the United Kingdom, and Uruguay.

     

    The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research.

     I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

    Stargate Chronicles

    Clark C. McClelland writes,
    “This is part of Chapter 13 called The Cape Kennedy-Kecksburg UFO Connection from my book The Stargate Chronicles.

    Clark C. McClelland writes, “On the day when the Kecksburg Incident happened, I was informed by ONI that the Soviet Union had made an earlier statement that was confirmed about its failed Venera 3 MV-4 Venus Spacecraft that was launched on November 16, 1965 from the U.S.S.R. Baikonur Launch site. They reported that their craft had experienced a damaging failure of the support Venera launch platform on orbit. It was an important mission to the planet Venus designed for a soft landing attempt on the surface of that planet. The 3 MV-4 Mission had an explosion on orbit and the interplanetary effort was lost. The mission designation was immediately changed to be called the Cosmos ’96. That was the normal practice of the U.S.S.R. It was a Kremlin political order to “save face” and not have to admit that their rocket science was faulty and other than perfect. After all, communism from their view point was far superior to any democratic system on earth.” http://www.stargate-chronicles.com/web/

    AcornKecksburg.jpg

    “It was then I heard Bean again question the crew in an uplink, “GT-7, what is the estimated distance and size?” Lovell replied by stressing, “We also have the booster in sight!” With this comment it verified UFOs were being observed, whether alien or otherwise. My reaction was WOW they are tracking the booster and other unidentified objects. I was in anticipation of other exciting comments when I heard another statement come from one of the engineers at his launch control center console, “We have got some UFOs!” This was not a good comment to make with USAF and NSA officers who were only a short distance away. It was then that NASA Astronaut Alan Bean muted out the open system commentary up and down link being received through the S-Band Transponder System. It originated from the Gemini 7 crew above and on orbit. I supposed Alan had received orders through his headset from NASA top management or even possibly from Colonel John Albert, USAF Chief of the Gemini Launch Vehicle USAF Aerospace Division Wing, to immediately mute communications from being heard by all at the cape and keep it exclusively between the Geminis’s crew and Cap Com.” By Clark C. McClelland.

    Our Star Ancestors by Nancy Redstar

     Bret Lueder reports. “Is it so hard to believe that we are not alone in the Universe? Aren't tens of thousands of unexplained sightings, testimonies of close encounters in many forms, hundreds of quality photos and some film footage enough to convince a rational, reasonable person to be at least open to the possibility of the existence of and contact with an extraterrestrial species?”

    When you consider the breadth of scientific information and testimony collected in the Western world alone, the evidence is compelling, if not overwhelming.

    But if this still isn't enough to convince a person; if your mistrust of governments and things like the Internet runs deeper still, what if it was learned that Native American history was riddled with accounts of origins from the stars? Would this, then, be convincing enough? Could you trust the Native Americans?

    Well according to Native American author Nancy Red Star the information is true. And she is chronicling the word-for-word stories from the elders themselves in a new trilogy of books beginning with book one, “Star Ancestors: Indian Wisdom Teachers Share The Teachings Of The Extraterrestrial Contact From Wisdom keepers Around The World” (Bear & Company) [Book III Extraterrestrials (Destiny Books), and book two, “Legends Of The Star Ancestors.”

    Further, Nancy Red Star (shown here) has recently completed a book called “UFO's No Threat: Official Eyewitness Testimony”, which is awaiting publication. She has also just shot a pilot for a new documentary series produced with the help and partnership of Red Star Productions, pioneer Native American director Phil Lucas (Northern Exposure, several PBS specials and feature films) and Los Angeles producer Bill Bratowski (Coppos Films). “Called the Bright Ones,” the series will document more official testimony from both military and indigenous sources and the "groundbreaking" connections between them.

    Red Star herself is of mixed Native American descent and is currently a citizen of the Sovereign Republic of the Abenaki Nation of Missisquoi, St. Francis/Sokoki Band--part of a Canadian/Eastern seaboard confederation of Native American tribes called the Wabenaki Confederacy. But more importantly in terms of her books, she is also what is known in indigenous circles as a "runner." A runner is a person that walks between worlds, genders, cultures and generations, says Red Star, and she feels that it is her destiny to fulfill such a role. As a runner, she will be bringing this collective indigenous knowledge to the public for the first time. In doing so she says that she will be closing the Sacred Hoop that was broken upon conquest.

    I recently had a chance to talk with Red Star via telephone from her home in New Mexico and I asked her about Native American prophecy, contact with UFO's and her latest book, “Life with a Cosmos Clearance” (Light Technology Publishing). Here are some select portions of our conversation.

    With six decades of past UFO activity why have these elders chosen to come forward now with this knowledge? “Prophecy says that it is the time for our Star Guardian's to return. The elders have told me that we have to prepare for their return in order for them to be able to help us in the coming time of transition into the Fifteenth World. My book covers many peoples in the Western Hemisphere but these histories of star ancestors are found in all indigenous cultures.”

    And that's why Dr. Greer and his Disclosure Project are so important because as many Native American elders are coming forward with this knowledge for the benefit of all, so are the elders of the modern, Western world. All of those Disclosure witnesses are getting closer to death and are now less afraid of any possible consequences. What is the relationship between the heartbeat of Mother Earth, modern technology, and alien interactions with Native Americans?

    What is the relationship between the heartbeat of Mother Earth, modern technology, and alien interactions with Native Americans?

    “Every tribe that I have come in contact with has some history with and regular visitations from these "ultra-terrestrials." In 2012 the planet was totally immersed in light and we need to be able to accept the new frequency. The misuse of technology has taken Mother Earth out of her rhythm and it is only by returning to the old ways and slowing our hearts and minds down that we will be able to adapt to the coming Age. There are certain peoples that never bought into technology. I'm talking about people that walk in different worlds; they have out-of-body experiences and can heal themselves and other people. They don't need computers.

    They don't need to store knowledge because they can access it at any time. They've had all the technology that they ever needed from the beginning. There are many tribes that pray virtually twenty-four hours a day in order to resettle the heartbeat. Koyaanisquatsi is a Hopi word meaning "life out of balance." Just go to any big city and sit and watch how fast everything moves. In each their own way, every one of these teachings say that we need to slow down through prayer, that we need to meditate in any form to support our Mother and prepare ourselves for the incoming frequency of light. The Kogi are one such tribe. During visitations, these beings tell us to return to the old ways; to keep singing, dancing, and praying to help our Mother. These are the teachings of our Star Guardians; that the knowledge within will provide us with the answers we need.”

    “I notice that you are careful to not use the term abduction."

    Nancy states, “I say "visitations" because indigenous peoples are visited by the ancestors, not abducted by them. I believe that so-called abductions are all a big scam carried out by the United States military for disinformation purposes. Our interactions are peaceful and positive, and oftentimes they impart knowledge, prophecy, and healings of all sorts. Each one of my interviews confirms the next. It is very convincing. When you realize that visitations have been going on since the beginning and that it is normal for Native Americans to interact with these beings, fear tends to reside. And fear is the biggest obstacle blocking full government disclosure. Remove the fear and the truth will flow.”

    In your latest book, “Life with a Cosmos Clearance”, ex-government man/Comanche Daniel M. Salter corroborates your findings about abductions and other "scams." What is the connection between governments and visitations?

    Nancy states, “The Star Wars Program is a scam, too, because it is claimed that it is there to protect the U.S. from missile attack by another nation. But it is really set up to attack aliens when they come to help us in transition. And just like the so-called alien abductions, cattle mutilations are also a big scam. Together, the secret society conspirators use these scenarios to generate fear through the media so that when the time comes the population will see it as an alien invasion. “

    “Werner Von Braun [ex-Nazi scientist brought to the U.S. after WWII believed this and he's the one who jump-started the whole program. Humans have never been stopped from going into space. But when we explode nuclear weapons in space, this crosses the line. This is their primary reason for making contact with the Superpowers, to warn us against this. And we haven't listened. We really have no idea what these explosions do to other realms. So they have periodically intervened in various military affairs for the good of all. But they have no interest or motive to invade this planet. It is ludicrous to think that we could militarily defend ourselves against these beings because their technology is so far advanced.”

    Salter claims that the Superpowers have had this technology for decades? The bottom line is that our governments are hiding what is known as Blank Slate technology or the use of particlization [turning waves into particles]. This is basically the same thing that the human pineal gland does in the brain. This technology can free our world and will also help the human race enter into the Fifteenth World. There's just so much information out there. It's all just a big crapshoot.”

    UFO Sightings in the United States

    Arizona Lights

    Mesa -- Sitting out back enjoying my evening on February 25, 2013, when a huge ball of light comes up over the homes facing west in my neighborhood. I have video posted of it on you tube. Object is above the bright moon light flying south.
    A second one comes and goes the exact same way. It’s just weird the way they were moving and I can see other people on this sight have been seeing exactly what I just saw. It was too big of a ball of light to be any aircraft! Thanks to MUFON CMS

     

     

    California Lights

    Van nuys/ Sherman oaks -- I was driving listening to the radio when I heard a report on kfi-am 640 about calls coming in about lights in the sky. I was in a parking lot eating on February 24, 2013. I heard something about a meteor shower and when I saw the lights in the sky I assumed they were meteors. That's when I noticed they were moving slow. I grabbed my phone and began recording. There were three orbs that were a glowing red/ orange and four lights appear in the video. The light on the far left is a star. I thought I could use it as a reference. That's when one of the orbs began disappearing. Then another faded away when I heard a helicopter and looked up and saw another red glowing light. The fourth one then disappeared about two minutes later. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Florida Pilot Reports Orbs

     Miami -- It was 20:00 hours (8 PM) in Kendal, South Miami when we saw like six objects similar to helicopters. Three persons watched the objects coming from the NW to the E, then turning to the S. The size was not easy to say, but they were separate crafts. They were rounded with an orbiting light orange color and no anti collision light or green and red navigation lights or strobe lights.

    “I am a commercial Pilot and know what I see in the air. I have been a pilot for more than 30 years. I thought of weather balloons, but there would not have been six following one behind the other in flight controlled formation. Well I took my IPhone 4 and took a picture and 2 videos. Maybe they are top secret devices or drone recon planes. Who knows? The objects were traveling fast at estimated speeds of 300 knots and were devoid of noise. The objects were flying at an estimated 10,000 to 18,000 feet. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

    Georgia Multiple Sightings over the Past Year

    SMARR -- My husband and I started seeing an object in the sky over a year ago and as recent as February 24, 2013, at 11:21 PM. We live in a very wooded area and there is no light pollution.  Everyone who came to our home saw it. We called it our light. As time went on the object got closer. It got to the point we could see it in the scope of our gun, but the object was constantly moving.

    The object is larger and is lower than the stars because when it is extremely overcast and cloudy, we can still see it. Along with the larger object, there is always three smaller UFO's that change colors very quickly. These objects move faster and in ways that our conventional aircraft simply cannot. We would love to know what these things are. There is no way these are weather balloons or objects reflecting light. We have hours of footage and pictures of the objects.

    At one point they got so close to the house it scared us. We did not see the objects for quite some time after two jets flew over the house chasing it.

    The fighter jets were in combat mode trying their best to keep up, but it was like the UFOs were just teasing them. Every time the aircraft got close the UFOs would just go from one point in the sky to another point in the blink of an eye. It has been in the past week that the objects have returned. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

    Indiana Oval

    BrAZIL -- My spouse was returning to work after 11:10 AM on the 10th of September 2012. She phoned stating she had taken pictures of something rather strange she spotted while driving on State Road 59 by Forest Park. She thought it might be a blimp, but this did not look like a normal blimp. She observed the craft hovering and then moving north of the town of Brazil and took several photos. No one is sure what the object might be. You will notice the object below the traffic light and near the power lines. The object appears like a small white object with a dark bottom. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

    Sullivan – I watched a single prop plane fly by the west side of Hardees Restaurant at an altitude of about 150-200 feet on March 4, 2013.and most likely headed NNW for Sullivan County Airport. It appeared to be flying extremely slow. Thinking in my own mind it had a head wind while assisting in the planes lift, which I watched this plane for about 30-40 seconds.

    Two minutes later I looked out the window again and caught a white glowing object

    just above the tree line over a field. It was further away compared to the plane that had passed by. The object headed due west in a slow pattern and suddenly lost altitude at about a 10 degree angle and that’s when I lost view of the object.  It certainly did not look like a plane with it glowing like that. Thanks to MUFON CMS,

     


    Kentucky Cylinder

    Ashland -- The witness saw a bright green, metallic, cigar shaped object flying low (about 150 feet off of the ground). He only saw the object for about ten seconds on March 2, 2011, at 9:30 PM.

    At the time he was in his vehicle and noticed a "hissing" on his radio and his voltmeter jumped up and down. He has a newer model General Motors Van and has never had problems with the vehicle. The interference was brief and happened only during the sighting. Metallic debris rained down from the craft onto his vehicle. He thought the object crashed. Subsequently MUFON investigators found trees that had "freshly" broken off branches towards the top of the trees. No crash debris were found. The witness said he would take photos of the damaged trees and send some of the "metallic dust" for analysis. Updates will be posted.

    Note: A UFO investigator who resides in Ashland, KY took the above photo which somewhat fits the description of the object seen on March 2, 2011. Listen to Witness Interview (MP3)
    Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

    Maine Large V-Shaped Lights

    Skowhegan -- Driving S-SE just before leaving town on Route 104, I saw a triangle-shaped collection of solid, non-blinking colored lights hanging in the sky on February 18, 2013, at 9:25 PM.. The craft seemed at least big enough to be a C-5 transport aircraft hovering. I could see stars around the craft, so it wasn't a blimp. I’m very familiar with the area and the sky around here and the lights were very noticeable and different. I saw nothing when driving in the exact same place and in the same direction 3-4 hours later. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

    Michigan Disk

     Rockwood -- I got a clear view of the craft on February 18, 2013, at 9:25 PM,
    while heading northbound on I-75. I pointed to something in the sky and said, "What is that!?" My Dad responded, "That is a water tower, son." That is not what I was pointing at. There was a blue light flying towards us at a remarkable speed. As this object became closer I got a very clear view of the shape of a disk or saucer as the object passed our car. It was a vibrant sky blue and it appeared to be glowing with black lines running perpendicular to each other around the craft.

    It was traveling at a remarkable speed, quite low in the sky. Maybe it was government technology, or extraterrestrial? My Dad, who does not fully believe in flying saucers, caught a glimpse. He was quite shocked. He is 58. This is my second UFO encounter. I am 22 years old and I educate myself on UFO phenomena often. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

    Mississippi Alien Craft Stored at Base

    GREENVILLE AIR FORCE BASE --My uncle was an electronics specialist and a civilian employee at the Air Force base on June 20, 1954. One day some military authorities escorted him and several other civilian employees into a large aircraft hangar and ordered them to stay there until they were told they could come out. None of the questions about what was going on were answered. The military men closed the hangars doors and left. The men in the hanger hung around the area where the hangars doors came together and they discovered they could peek outside and see what was going on.

    A disk shaped aircraft about 40 feet in diameter descended vertically and landed on the tarmac outside the hangar. Several men with cameras filmed the entire incident from elevated scaffolding. Other cameramen stood on the ground. A door opened on the aircraft and a child-sized alien being walked down a short ramp. The alien used a hand-held computer to communicate with the military personnel. The aircraft was on tripod landing gear with wheels, and several men were ordered to push it into the hanger across the way. Once the alien aircraft was inside the hanger, the men closed its doors. Several minutes later they pushed the alien craft back outside and it soon lifted vertically and silently and quickly darted away. As soon as the alien craft was gone the civilian men were allowed to leave their hangar.

    I was a teenager when I heard this story and my reaction to it was a mix of uncertainty and disbelief. My uncle didn't have any reason to lie about it, but... Years later, I was watching a program about UFOs on television, and a man who saw the same event described it exactly as my uncle had described it years earlier--in every detail. I was amazed, but while I have seen many UFO programs on television repeated several times, I never saw that particular interview again.  My uncle died several years ago, and I imagine that the other witnesses are probably all dead as well. I wanted to report this information since our government isn't about to confess that it has lied to us about UFOs since 1949. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.

      Hattiesburg City -- On January 8th, 2008, we stopped in a Wal-Mart parking lot and saw this curious object in the sky. I said to my husband: "Take a picture of the sky. It looks very funny."

    He took the picture and a few days later we noticed this strange object and remembered hearing on the radio that there was a sighting in Texas.  We took the picture with a Canon Power Shot A80 at 8:56:40.  Thanks to MUFON CMS

     

    New Jersey Star Moving Quickly

    HIGHLAND PARK -- I went out back of my house to have a smoke with my wife on February 17, 2013, and looked up to the sky to see a star moving pretty fast across the sky. I have been seeing this for quite some time now and I’m not sure what they are. Every now and again I see stars moving across the sky, as well as other things. This has been going on for years now. Lately it's been more since I've moved to New Jersey from Miami. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    HAMILTON -- I was driving down a neighborhood street at night and I saw a bright light in the sky on January 13, 2013. I knew it wasn't a plane because it was too large a light and did not blink. At the traffic light I was able to get a good look at it as it flew over me.

    It was flying as low as a plane that was getting near its landing destination. It had a bright white light in the front with a round blunted point. Its perimeter had a few neon red, and blue-green colored lights that were not very noticeable.

    The front seemed to have lights around it. The craft abruptly turned upwards in a 90 degree angle and made a pathway of light shooting up to an opening of yellow-white light in the sky where it vanished. I zoomed in on my iPhone 4s camera. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

    North Carolina Unidentified lights

    Raleigh/Durham -- There were literally dozens of aircraft and unidentified lights in the night sky on February 27, 2013. Dozens of people called local news outlets to report them.
    My adult daughter, my sister and I saw unidentified craft that sometimes hovered, sometimes darted, and that moved at times with incredible speed. Some of the crafts had only white lights, some had only red lights, and some had only intermittent strobes and were completely dark for as much as three to five seconds at a time.

    We saw three unidentified craft over the area near Six Forks Road in North Raleigh. They had white lights and moved very slowly at first. As we continued to watch them, they turned off their white lights and turned on much dimmer red lights, at the same time the middle craft became very bright white. Then they all three went almost dark, and suddenly sped toward Atlantic Avenue at an incredible rate of speed, then suddenly slowed down and resumed moving slowly, at very low altitude, and again with white lights.

    Suddenly the sky was filled with 12 to 15 white strobe lights at 1000 feet altitude! The lights would go dark for as much as four seconds at a time. While viewing these, three triangular shaped craft with red lights only appeared back toward the airport, at a higher altitude. The strobe lights appeared to be hovering or moving very slowly - the red objects were moving more quickly, toward the southwest.

    Soon two longer craft appeared shaped almost like long-wing gliders, with a row of white lights down the central part of the object and red flashing lights on each end. We would also see commercial airliners landing and taking off, and these were obviously not similar to these objects. At no time did we hear any noise from any of the objects. We all agreed these craft were unlike anything we had ever seen. When the news outlets contacted RDU airport, they were told that helicopters were conducting "military exercises" and that there was "no threat to public safety," and "nothing to worry, but that’s not what we saw.  Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

    Oklahoma Lights

    PURCEL -- We were driving south along I 35 when an object with two white lights one in front and one in the back appeared in the sky in front of our vehicle. It began performing aerial stunts and maneuvers in the sky that were a figure eight patterns. My daughter tried taking a picture but object at this point was too far away. The lights blinked out one after another as it flew east.

    About 40 minutes later while still traveling south along I -35 just south of Paul’s Valley, my daughter had a strange look on her face.  I asked, “Are you O.K.”? She said, “Yes, but she had rush of panic when she saw a sphere with a white light and window with a red arch hovering right alongside the car

    The moment I noticed the craft it shot out in front of our car and changed shape to a triangle with three lights. One was white, one red and one blue. It started performing aerial stunts and maneuvers before flying back east. My daughter was able to get photos as it changed again and slowed down and flew out of our sight. My daughter checked her pictures to discover that two of three photos appeared to be smiley faces in the sky while the third is two straight lines parallel to each other. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Texas Lights

     San Antonio -- We had a sighting and took a photo on February 23, 2013, at 7:45 PM. The photo was taken on the southeast side of my house. I also have a cell video.

    CharlottesvillE – On February 14, 2013, around 7 pm, my neighbor calls to report an odd light hovering above our house. I ran out with my camera to look and see a disc about 21 feet long and less than 20 feet above my house. The disc blew apart before my eyes into four smaller orbs of light. Two moved toward South First Street, while the other two moved pass a neighbors house and disappeared. A bigger dark triangle was seen above my house neighbors said I called them to look with me.

    Texas Lights Octagon

    POTEET -- My uncle pointed out an object in the sky which seemed to be floating towards the northwest keeping its speed and altitude on February 23, 2013.  The circular object seemed to be tilted and had a dark center, but was not transparent. There was no sound or smoke coming from object. It just continued to move till it vanished.


    We know it was not a human driven craft of any kind.

    Worldwide UFO Reports

    Australia Family Terrorized by an Alien Craft

    Perhaps one of the strangest Australian UFO encounters is that of the Knowles family as they drove along the lonely Nullarbor Plain in January 1988.

    Mother Faye was travelling the long, lonely stretch of highway with her sons, 24-year-old Patrick; Sean aged 21 and 18-year-old Wayne, along with their two dogs. While Sean was driving and his older brother sitting beside him, they saw on the road ahead of them a bright light. Their curiosity piqued, Sean put his foot down in order to catch up to the curious light shining on the road ahead of them. That would soon prove to be a mistake.

    The Knowles’ car soon caught up with that curious bright light that now took the shape of an angular egg in an eggcup with a yellow centre, and estimated at about one meter wide. It appeared to be either on the road or floating just above it, and was moving back and forth. Sean swerved to avoid the object, almost colliding with a car towing a caravan travelling in the opposite direction. As they continued driving, the Knowles soon became concerned that the glowing egg-shaped object was following them … and then they heard a clunk and felt the car being pushed down by a heavy weight.

    Then, the car seemed to be lifted off the road. Frightened, Faye wound down her window and reached for the roof. She felt something “soft and rubbery that was hot”. When Faye pulled her arm back inside their vehicle, it was covered in a strange black dust. The family was terrified and they soon became disoriented and later recounted that their voices sounded slower and lower in pitch. Patrick later said that he felt like his “brains were being sucked out”. Meanwhile, the car’s speedometer registered speeds that the small car would be highly unlikely to achieve. Then the car appeared to drop back onto the road, bursting the rear tire on the right hand side.

    After pulling off the road, the Knowles jumped out of the car and hid behind some nearby bushes, shaken and scared. Eventually, they returned to the car, changed the tire and drove at speed to the nearest town. Physical traces on the car, corroborating evidence from a truck driver and the sincerity in the Knowles’ own testimony on national television point to something extremely out of the ordinary happening on the highway across the Nullarbor Plain in January 1988.

    But was it a UFO encounter or something else? According to Jenny Randles, author of Time Storms, the Knowles’ encounter has more to do with a natural phenomenon in which time it is distorted rather than that of a UFO encounter. Indeed, there appear to be a number of similarities with other cases the author has investigated. But, whether the Knowles were terrorized by an unidentified flying object or inadvertently drove into a so-called “time storm,” there is little doubt that the family experienced something baffling, and terrifying, on that day in the summer of 1988. More on the Knowles’ encounter on the Nullarbor.  Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

      

    BRISBANE -- I was standing on my front verandah having a coffee on Saturday the 2nd of February 2013. On Russell Island looking east towards North Stradbroke Island I was thinking what a beautiful day it was after some very heavy weather.  I noticed a white craft moving very slowly north for about six seconds when it just winked out. It was flying against a very clear blue sky. I watched the same patch of sky for another 5 to 10 minutes when it re-appeared. This time it was slightly larger and above the earlier flight path but still flying at the same speed and in the same direction, again for about six seconds, but just before it winked out it seemed to bank in a left direction. Then once again it simply disappeared against a very blue sky. Ten minutes later a helicopter appeared flying in the general area of the craft and straight over my house.

    I knew it was not normal. Was it a UFO? Yes.  NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

    Puerto Rico Electrical Lights

    Arecibo --
    I was sitting on my front porch talking on the phone when suddenly I saw what looked like electrical currents dancing in and out between the banana tree leaves across the street from me on February 25, 2013. These activities seemed to be dancing through the trees at 6 PM...

    Suddenly they changed direction and came across the street to where I was and began to dance in circles for what seemed like a minute. They then turned to the left and continued across the street in another direction. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

    UK/England Bright Orange Ball

    Bradford (West Yorkshire
    -- I was at my kitchen window when I saw a bright orange ball of light coming towards us on February 18, 2013, at 9:25. At first I got scared thinking it was a meteorite or something so I shouted my grandmother to come and look.

    The object then seemed to slow down, changed direction and then continued moving. There was no noise whatsoever, so I don’t believe it was an aircraft of any sort. It was very bright; it was almost difficult to see the shape properly although it did look circular.

    À l'ouest, une comète visible à l'œil nu

    Nommée Pan-STARRS C/2011 L4, elle sera présente dans le ciel jusqu'à la fin du mois.

    À vos jumelles! Dimanche, un point lumineux suivi d'un long panache blanc devrait être visible au-dessus de l'horizon ouest, juste après le coucher du soleil, entre la constellation des Poissons et le carré de Pégase.

    Cette visiteuse du soir n'est autre que la comète Pan-STARRS C/2011 L4 découverte, il y a deux ans, grâce au télescope de l'université de Hawaï. Déjà observée à l'œil nu dans le ciel de l'hémisphère Sud, il sera théoriquement possible de la contempler jusqu'à la fin du mois dans l'hémisphère nord.

    Selon les spécialistes de l'Observatoire de Paris-Meudon, «il s'agit d'une comète nouvelle, jamais aperçue auparavant, qui ne fera qu'une seule et unique incursion dans notre ciel avant d'être éjectée dans les profondeurs de la Galaxie».

    Essentiellement composées de glace et de poussières cosmiques, les comètes sont des voyageurs solitaires dont l'origine remonte à la naissance du Système solaire. Elles tournent autour du Soleil avec des fréquences très variables, de quelques années à plusieurs millions.

    À l'approche du Soleil, la glace se vaporise, formant une enveloppe brillante autour du cœur de la comète que les astronomes appellent «la chevelure». Cette dernière se prolonge, à l'arrière, par une traînée de gaz et de poussières qui peut s'étendre sur des millions de kilomètres pour former, sous l'effet de la lumière du Soleil, la fameuse «queue» caractéristique de cette famille d'astres.

    Selon Patrick Rocher, astronome à l'Observatoire de Paris-Meudon (IMCCE), Pan-STARRS atteindra son périhélie dimanche, c'est-à-dire qu'elle passera au plus près du Soleil, à 45 millions de kilomètres de distance. «Ce coup de chaud devrait accroître son éclat, de sorte qu'il sera possible de la voir avec une bonne paire de jumelles et, normalement, à l'œil nu», explique-t-il. Pour profiter au mieux du spectacle, Patrick Rocher conseille de se poster au coucher du soleil dans un lieu dépourvu de lumière artificielle avec une vue bien dégagée vers l'ouest. Si vous habitez ou êtes en vacances sur la côte Atlantique, vous bénéficierez de conditions idéales. À condition que le ciel soit dégagé…

    En revanche, à partir du 13 mars, Pan-STARRS commencera à grimper sur l'horizon, signe qu'elle s'éloigne du Soleil. Elle deviendra alors de moins en moins brillante au fil des jours. Selon Patrick Rocher, il est peu probable qu'elle offre un spectacle aussi féerique que la comète McNaught (C/2006 P1) lors de son passage au-dessus de l'hémisphère Sud, en janvier 2007. La queue de ce bolide céleste, plus brillant que Vénus, avait alors littéralement illuminé le ciel austral. «Pan-STARRS passe beaucoup trop loin du Soleil, note-t-il. En outre, si elle approchait plus près, il n'est pas exclu qu'elle fonde complètement.»

    Une autre visite, encore plus prometteuse, est annoncée en novembre prochain, celle d'Ison C/2012 S1. Cette comète sera visible tout au long des deux derniers mois de l'année et jusqu'au début de 2014. Selon certains astronomes, elle pourrait être l'une des plus brillantes de l'histoire.

    Do Russell Crowe's UFO photos offer 'Proof of Life' from outer space? by Jon Kelly. The Australian Associated Press reported on March 6, 2013, how Australian actor Russell Crowe photographed lights in Sydney’s Botanical Gardens that the “Gladiator” star is at a loss to explain. Three time-lapse photographs posted to YouTube show what appear to be the motion trails of lights moving at tree-top and ground level across the image frame of a camera supported on a tripod. While the images seem to reveal the profile of a disc-shaped vehicle in flight, other photographers are identifying these forms as the artifacts of long time exposures. More...

    La comète C/2013 A1 Siding Spring a des chances non négligeables de percuter Mars en Octobre 2014. Comme son noyau fait entre 8 et 50 km de diamètre et sa vitesse 56 km/s (202000 km/h), l'explosion résultante aurait une énergie équivalente à 2 x 10^10 Mt (20 milliards de Mt !) et creuserait un cratère de 500 km de diamètre et de 2 km de profondeur. Toutefois les mesures manquent encore de précision et la probabilité d'impact n'est pas établie. Si au moins elle pouvait tomber sur la base extraterrestre de Cydonia ! ;-)

    An event of historical implications will be held at the National Press Club in Washington, DC from April 29 to May 3, 2013. At that time forty plus researchers and military/agency witnesses will testify for thirty hours over five days before former members of the United States Congress. The Citizen Hearing on Disclosure of an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race will attempt to accomplish what the Congress has failed to do for forty-five years - seek out the facts surrounding the most important issue of this or any other time.

    Dmitri Medvedev vient de faire une déclaration à la télévision au sujet du type d'information dont disposerait le président de la Russie au sujet des OVNI :

     http://www.wat.tv/video/medvedev-tente-clarifier-sa-5eegd_309yl_.html
    Question de la journaliste Marianna Maximovskaya :" En tant que Premier Ministre, vous avez accès à tous les secrets, alors dites-moi : avons-nous été visités par des extraterrestres ?"
    Réponse de Dmitri Medvedev :" Je vais vous le dire pour la première et la dernière fois. Avec la mallette des codes nucléaires, le président du pays reçoit également un dossier top secret spécial. Ce dossier dans son intégralité contient des informations au sujet des extraterrestres qui ont visité notre planète.
    Parallèlement à cela, on vous remet un rapport sur un service totalement secret qui s'assure du contrôle des extraterrestres sur le territoire de notre pays."

    Il a ajouté :"Si vous voulez des informations plus détaillées sur ce sujet, regardez le documentaire bien connu appelé Men in black"
    Marianna Maximovskaya :"Combien sont-ils ?"
    Dmitri Medvedev :"Je ne vous dirai pas combien d'extraterrestres sont parmi nous, car ce serait la panique"

    Les traductions diffèrent d'une source à l'autre. Une partie aurait été dite alors que le micro était censé être fermé. Celle-ci est extraite de Nexus mars-avril 2013.

    Mon analyse :
    - Les tournures utilisées laissent penser qu'il s'agit d'une déclaration minutieusement préparée et non d'une réponse spontanée. Après un début en style impersonnel et officiel "le président du pays reçoit....",
    celui-ci devient anecdotique "on vous remet un rapport..." ce qui montrerait un passage de la récitation à l'énoncé de souvenirs...
    - L'ajout sur les MIB détruit toute crédibilité... On retrouve une structure (crédible + plaisanterie) qui fait penser à celle du message d'Obama à Roswell

    Serait-ce un début de "révélation progressive" mondiale ? Si oui, à quand ceux de FH et de AM ?

    (Transmission à distance et en temps réel d'information sensori-motrice entre deux cerveaux)

    Pour l'instant je ne l'ai parcouru qu'en diagonale mais vu que ce domaine était ma spécialité principale, je pourrai donner des explications plus détaillées à ceux que ça intéresse. Attention, article très technique ! On remarquera que la plupart des auteurs travaillent à l'université Duke de Durham (NC), laquelle est initiatrice en matière d'expérimentation dans le domaine de la transmission télépathique.

    Il y a déjà longtemps que l'on pratique l'enregistrement et la stimulation intracérébrale (voir les travaux de Delgado), mais il s'agit là d'une véritable avancée qui laisse présager des applications d'un intérêt majeur dans une foule de domaines.
    Pour ce qui nous concerne ici, de nombreux éléments laissent à penser que certains visiteurs sont doués de capacités psioniques. Si on peut développer chez l'Homme le type d'interface décrit dans l'article, un canal de communication préférentiel pourrait être instauré en cas de contact rapproché. Toutefois il ne faut pas se cacher qu'il y a encore loin de la coupe aux lèvres.

    2 Mars 2013. On reparle de l'ovni qui aurait détruit la météorite de Tchelyabinsk avant l'impact :

    http://www.skynews.com.au/offbeat/article.aspx?id=850395

    "The event was filmed by a number of spectators with many people identifying a UFO that they say hit into the meteorite, causing it to explode."
    (De nombreuses vidéos de spectateurs montreraient u
    n ovni frappant la météorite et la faisant exploser.)
    (...)
    "Mr Komanov also claims there was an upsurge of UFO sightings in the region weeks before the meteorite exploded in the earth's atmosphere."

    (M. Aleksandr Komanov, coordinateur de la communauté ufologique d'Ekaterinenbourg, a ajouté que la région avait connu un regain d'activité ovni dans les semaines qui ont précédé l'événement.)

    Que faut-il en penser ?
    Des débris de la météorite ont été recueillis. Ils sont probablement très altérés par la chaleur de rentrée et la détonation ; mais un événement de cette nature laisse toujours des traces, même infimes, qu'une analyse scientifique sérieuse pourrait déceler. Dans l'affirmative, je doute fort qu'on le sache jamais.

    Security Obsession Drives 100 Scientists from NASA: Top Security Clearance Needed to Help Steer the Curiosity Rover?

    by: 

    Dave Lindorff

     

    Up on the planet Mars, there is a complex new rover named Curiosity that is driving around looking for evidence of possible life. Its every little finding is readily broadcast around the world, as was done today at a televised conference in California, to be analyzed by scientists in the US, in Europe, in China, and even in Iran.

    The scientists and engineers who are managing that remarkable vehicle, as well as the fantastically successful Cassini probe orbiting Saturn, the Kepler satellite that is discovering all those planets orbiting distant stars, and all the other various satellites and space probes launched by NASA, however, are not as free as the space probes they are running.

    Thanks to the zealous wackos at the Department of Homeland Security, back in 2007 during the latter part of the Bush administration an order went out that all workers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena--an organization that is run under contract to NASA by the California Institute of Technology, had to be vetted for high security clearance in order to continue doing their jobs. Never mind that not one of them was or is engaged in secret activities (NASA is a rigorously non-military, scientific agency which not only publishes all its findings, but which invites the active participation of scientists from around the world). In order to continue working at JPL, even scientists who had been with NASA for decades were told they would need a high-level security badge just to enter the premises. To be issued that badge, they were told they would need to agree undergo an intensive FBI check that would look into their prior life history, right back to college.

    Not surprisingly, many scientists and engineers at JPL took umbrage at this extreme invasion of their private lives. Neighbors and old colleagues and acquaintances, ex-spouses, etc. were going to be interrogated about their drug-use history, their drinking habits, their juvenile arrest records, their sexual orientation-all those things that prying agents like to get into when doing a security clearance background check--as if they were applying for positions in the CIA or the Secret Service.

    Crazed security check requirement is driving over 100 scientists to quit NASA's Jet Propulsion LabCrazed security check requirement is driving over 100 scientists to quit NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab

    Robert Nelson, an astronomer who spearheaded an effort to prevent this pointless security effort, together with 27 other angry JPL scientists, sued JPL and the federal government in federal court. They lost initially at the district court level but won a permanent injunction at the Ninth Circuit Appellate Court. That could have been the end of it, but unfortunately, the Obama administration appealed, and in 2011 when their case got to the Roberts Supreme Court, which rarely meets an invasive government security demand it doesn’t like, the scientists lost.

    Everyone who wanted to continue doing space science at JPL was told they had to submit to a security investigation.

    The cost of this idiocy, which was aggressively pursued to a final pyrrhic victory in the High Court by the Obama Department of Justice (sic), has been grievous, as some 100 veteran scientists at JPL have quit or taken early retirement, rather than open their lives to the FBI.

    Take Amanda Hendrix. She tells ThisCantBeHappening!, “I left JPL after 12 years (and with a good position and lots of opportunities) because I was very unhappy about the new badging requirements, particularly since they didn't make sense to me for scientists like myself who require no access to top-secret-type materials. It was extremely disappointing to me that an institution like JPL would subject their long-time employees to such measures in order to keep their jobs.”

    Hendrix is now working at the Planetary Science Institute.

    Dennis Byrnes, who began working at JPL in early 1977, and who beginning in 2005 was chief engineer for flight dynamics, making him the “lead technical person at JPL for all things related to the flight dynamics of all JPL missions both in operations and planned,” also quit his job this year rather than submit to the security investigation. He says, “My job included all aspects of mission design, navigation and some aspects of guidance and control.” Prior to 2005 he says he was deputy manager and briefly the manager of JPL’s navigation and mission design section, and was awarded the NASA Exceptional Engineering Achievement Medal (NASA’s highest technical engineering award) for his work on the Galileo Project to Jupiter.

    Byrnes notes that when the Supreme Court issued its ruling, it didn’t mean the security checks had to go forward. “It merely meant that NASA could proceed, but did not require it,” Byrnes says. “We urged NASA to consider other avenues similar to the Dept. of Energy, National Science Foundation and others who decided on a less restrictive implementation, but to no avail.” (Note that the DOE is responsible for maintaining the nation's nuclear weapons! Evidently then there are ways that, if a particular scientist at NASA happens to be working with something that involves national security -- say nuclear rocket engine technology or something -- special clearance can be required without subjecting the personnel of a whole agency to the process.)

    In late 2011, when the details of the full implementation of the security checks at JPL were announced , the 68-year-old Byrnes says, “I decided to retire rather than submit to the investigations. This in no way reflected fear of discovery of anything personal (I had security clearances in the late '60's through mid-70's and have nothing to hide). Rather, it was a decision on principle. I believe the whole process to be unconstitutional and a completely unnecessary abuse of government power.” He says had this new badge requirement not come along, he would have stayed on for several years longer at JPL, “since I am a recognized world expert in my field and thoroughly enjoy what I do.”

    Not everyone who quit over this issue was a scientist. Susan Foster, a senior science writer at JPL, began her career there working as a secretary in 1968, even before the first Apollo moon landing. She says she quit solely because of the NASA requirement that she submit to a “waiving of my Fourth Amendment rights or be denied access to the facility” where she had worked for 44 years. She is currently unemployed and looking for work.

    What upset her most, she says, was NASA’s plan to use the information it obtained on its scientists’ and employees’ lives to create a “suitability matrix,” which would be used to see if they merited continued employment. In questioning JPL management, Foster says people learned that this “suitability matrix” would be considering things like “whether JPL scientists had participated in political demonstrations that could qualify in NASA's scheme of things as disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, resisting arrest, unlawful assembly” -- all activities that she says many of JPL’s scientists had engaged in over the years. Says Foster, “Criteria such as ‘attitude’ are pretty frightening in their subjectivity, and ‘striking against the government’ is chilling to anyone who has supported, say, a legitimate teachers' action.”

    Remember, this is all in order to be allowed to work at a very open science agency that routinely publishes nearly all its findings.

    Nelson, who was the point man for the JPL employee challenge to the new security requirement, also quit on principle rather than submit to the security investigation. An over 30-year veteran of JPL, and former head of the American Astronomical Association, Nelson says he decided he would not put up with that kind of intrusive invasion of his private life even in order to keep working at a job he loved, so he filed for retirement. After retiring earlier than he had planned from his position at JPL, Nelson is now also at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, AZ, where his title is senior scientist.

    NASA scientist Robert Nelson led the fight against Homeland Security's demand for FBI vetting of JPL's veteran scientistsNASA scientist Robert Nelson led the fight against Homeland Security's demand for FBI vetting of JPL's veteran scientists

    One of the big concerns expressed by the JPL scientists was that NASA would not adequately protect the incredibly personal information it was going to be gathering on its employees at JPL. NASA after all, they noted, is not the CIA or the Secret Service. It operates in the open, and doesn’t have a culture of secrecy, and as a bureaucracy, is ill-equipped to manage such information securely.

    Sure enough, last week NASA was forced to admit that an employee at the agency’s offices in Washington DC had left a laptop computer containing all that newly acquired personal information on its employees in his car on Halloween night, and it had been stolen. Worse yet, further validating the concerns of JPL scientists, the data on the computer had not even been encrypted!

    Now NASA has had to hire a contractor specializing in protecting potential victims of identity theft to help all the JPL scientists at risk to avoid having their savings pilfered, their credit cards stolen, and perhaps to protect them from being subjected to harassment or extortion because of information gleaned from their security files.

    This disaster at JPL is a classic case of the US security state run amok, and provides yet another example of how the Obama administration, which came into office in 2009 promising to return the country to some kind of sanity and respect for the Constitution, has instead driven 100 invaluable scientists out of JPL, weakening the nation’s already struggling space program, and has put hundreds of scientists’ lives, and the lives of their families, at risk.

    And all for nothing.

    There are no secrets at JPL, except perhaps for the temporary one about what it was that the Curiosity rover discovered in its early soil sampling on Mars (and that proved to be not worth all the secrecy either!).

    If you are getting more sighting reports than listed here, please be sure to enter them manually into CMS. To make this happen automatically, make sure your local MUFON Website is pointing to the CMS Reporting form on www.mufon.com and direct all calls you get to the MUFON website so that witnesses can enter their own report directly into CMS.

    ALL sighting reports received by CMS are already filled in by the witness, saving you and your investigators time. Each report is automatically sent to YOU, the State Director and Assistant State Director, for you to assign someone to follow-up and complete the report.

    If a UFO sighting comes in over the phone, or by e-mail, and you want to enter it yourself, simply go to CMS at http://mufoncms.com (once logged in) and click on "ADD CASE" in the upper right hand corner of the screen. This gives you a blank sighting reporting form that you can fill out while the witness is on the phone. Once the report is filled out be sure to click "SAVE" and you will have easily added your NEW report to CMS.

    Other interesting data points in CMS during February 2013 are the shape of the UFOs reported which were as follows;

    Shape of Object Number of Reports
    Sphere 124
    Circle 81
    Other 80
