space is all about here.
In September, a National Archives blog devoted to recently declassified
documents published
a post about an intriguing set of records from the aeronautical systems
division of the U.S. Air Force. During the 1950s, according to these documents,
the Air Force had contracted with a Canadian firm, Avro Aircraft Limited, to
produce what can only be described as a flying saucer.
While the National Archives provided a few images from Project 1794 last
year, the entire report is now available
online.
The report summarizes Avros work on its initial contract with the Air Force,
which financed a feasibility study to test the systems and principles that would
be necessary to create what Avro called a flat vertical take-off and landing
aircraft. The ship was to reach a top speed between Mach 3 and Mach 4 and be
capable of flying at 100,000 feet and ranging 1,000 nautical miles.
The document contains several schematics detailing alternative solutions to
some of the engineering problems that the flying saucer posed. Avro described
500 hours of wind-tunnel tests done with a scale model and included photos of
that process, graphs of their results, and assessments of remaining
issues.
At the conclusion of the report, Avro asked for more than $3 million to
complete testing and development. As Wireds Benjamin Plackett pointed out
when the first saucer images were released last year, that wasnt so much money
by military standards. (It would translate to about $26.6 million
today.)
But the government decided to fund work on a smaller and less grand saucer
prototype, the Avrocar,
instead. Like a helicopter (not yet available for combat use), this aircraft
could hover near the ground, access tight spots, and help troops in need of
reinforcement or resupply.
Plackett points to video of
tests of the Avrocar in which the vehicle doesnt get more than a few feet
off the ground. Pilots found it rocky and unstable in motion, even once it
managed to rise further into the air.
In the end, the vision of a U.S. government flying saucer on any scale was
scrapped. Avro closed
its doors in 1962.

have been a UFO researcher, writer, and experiencer, for over thirty years,
having had several childhood encounters with UFO occupants. I have written five
books over the years, several of which are very popular, but I wanted this time
to put it all together and by doing so, reveal something new and astounding
the answers! I have concluded with certainty that there is not just one answer,
but many answers to this ancient and enormous mystery. More...

Special
Reports
New Blue Planet
NASAs
Hubble space telescope has identified the true color of a planet 63 light years
away from Earth, a distant blue marble that, unlike our own planet, has
torrential rainstorms of glass. HD 189733b, orbiting star HD 189733, would be
seen by human eyes as a striking cobalt blue, the Hubble
team says, ostensibly similar to Earth when viewed from space. However, in
actual fact the exoplanet is one of a bizarre collection of hot Jupiters
where temperatures can reach almost 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (over 1,000 degrees
Celsius).
Its that extreme temperature caused by the planets very close orbit to
the star that gives HD 189733b whats perhaps its most unusual feature: its
storms of glass. The atmosphere is filled with silicate particles, NASA
explains, and when they condense in the tremendously furious heat, they could
rain down as tiny droplets of glass. Its the silicate that gives the planet its
distinctive color, with the droplets scattering more blue light than red in the
visible spectrum. http://www.slashgear.com
A New View of the Dumbbell Nebula
The one minute astronomer writes, Heres an astonishing new view
of M27, the famous Dumbbell Nebula in the constellation Vulpecula. This image is
the result of an international collaboration between Andre van der Hoeven, Fred
Herrmann, and Terry Hancock who combined the light from three telescopes and
three cameras into one image.
A new image of the planetary nebula M27 which combines light from ionized
hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. This image uses nearly 40 hours of data collected
with three different telescopes and CCD cameras in Michigan, Alabama and
Holland. The images were later combined into one final image. The outer hydrogen
and oxygen shell of M27 are not normally visible in amateur images, along with
emission from ionized sulfur. These elements are present in the outer layers of
the central star of this nebula, a star which is blowing off its atmosphere and
leaving the hot stellar core behind. - See more at http://www.oneminuteastronomer.com/8822/m27-image/
CIA Director UFOs Are Real
Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter, was the third Director of
Central Intelligence (DCI) from 1947 to 1950, and the first Director of the CIA,
which was established in September 1947.
Hillenkoetter was one of the first intelligence chiefs to make public his
conviction that UFO's were real." On August 22, 1960, he stated,
"I am aware that hundreds of military and airline pilots, airport
personnel, astronomers, missile trackers and other competent observers have
reported sightings . . . These UFOs are interplanetary devices systematically
observing the earth, either manned or under remote control, or both."
It is time for the truth to be brought out... Behind the scenes
high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about the UFOs. But
through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the
unknown flying objects are nonsense. I urge immediate Congressional action to
reduce the dangers from secrecy about unidentified flying objects.

statement to Congress, August 22, 1960.
Russian UFO Movie
Frank Chilli writes, This is an excellent video with much info
disclosed for the first time by the Russian Government, Military and Researches
as well as some remarkable
UFO footage. You should view in full screen to best read the
English translation.
The crashed UFO was a gift from advanced civilizations.
A Russian UFO movie makes some interesting comments from researchers. Nikolai Antoshkin test pilot and Hero of the USSR, states,
It appears a much more advanced civilization is controlling us.
Apparently the aliens are controlling that we dont do anything bad on Earth. We
conclude this by their appearance on areas where our nuclear and chemical bases
are located and large hydro technical facilities and regions where the situation
is unstable.
What might have happened on other planets they want to prevent
happening here.
Note: Apparently, Earth is one of the finest planets in this part of the
universe and the aliens are already here or plan on coming here, and wish to
preserve the planet. They may also be from the future and desire to prevent us
from destroying Earth.
Catherine
Austin Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD), released a document supporting her claims that the US
Navy initiated a plan in 1998 to adjust its operations for a future where
extraterrestrials exist and live among us.
She claims the plan was commissioned by the Undersecretary of the US Navy and
was undertaken by the Arlington Institute, an NGO located near the Pentagon with
many military clients, where Fitts served on the Board of Directors. She was
asked to assist with the plan and claims she was given an opportunity to meet a
live alien, but declined. Two members of the Board of Directors have repudiated
Fitts claims.
With the publication of Galactic Diplomacy, the contradiction of her version
of events by other Arlington Institute Board members was now part of the public
record. Consequently, Fitts felt free to release documentation supporting her
version of events Minutes of the March 26, 1999 Board of Directors meeting.
The Minutes
of the meeting below is the significant statement.
Joe Firmage who is a Board Member of the Arlington Institute is also
Chairman of The International Space Sciences Organization (ISSO), an, advanced
science research and education institute that was launched in July 1999, to
provide a platform for research and education in view of breakthroughs likely in
21st Century physics. http://rense.com/politics4/isso.htm.
So it is quite likely some type of discussion occurred has Catherine Fitts
observed.
The Pickford and Lindemann study mentioned in the minutes involve eight alien
contact scenarios they developed for a workshop on extraterrestrial contact as
recalled by one of the participants: Called the second Contact Planning
meeting and held in Denver, Colorado, this workshop was sponsored by Joe
Firmages International Space Sciences Organization and organized by Kyle
Pickford and Michael Lindemann. The meeting was divided into five groups:
business, religion, science, government, and media/public. Each group
role-played its behavior for each of eight scenarios. The meeting apparently
showed contact behavior by each of the people in each of these categories. How
can people prepare. A large number of these ideas clearly fit into two clusters
that I find very encouraging: (a) tell the general public the truth right away
and (b) prepare to communicate and negotiate with ET in a friendly and
cooperative manner, even if its behavior seems unfriendly.
The minutes of the meeting confirm that the Arlington Institute was
discussing the subject of life outside earth. According to Ms Fitts, one of
these clients was the US Navy.
Editors Note: I have heard similar claims that the Navy wishes to release
data on alien visitation. Lt. Col. Corso claimed he provided industry with
advanced ET products that were distributed to industry. These products such as
alien clothing, and advanced technology were rapidly copied and brought into
production that may include UFOs themselves.
Three factors support the assumption that other civilizations in our galaxy
are probably much older than our own human civilization. First, the vast
majority of stars in our galaxy are much millions of years older than our Sun.
It follows, then, that any civilizations on planets revolving around those stars
likely arose much earlier than our own civilization did. Second, it seems quite
possible that some civilizations survive for a million years or even longer. Our
civilization is ten thousand years old, where others in our galaxy range in age
from a few thousand years up to a million years old. We are one of the youngest.
Third, we are observing alien craft that most likely come here from these other
civilizations.
Moon Base
In 1994, the US Navy sent a satellite called Clementine to the moon to image
it for two months. During that time, the satellite took 1.8 million images. Out
of those images, 170,000 images were made available to the public. The rest were
classified, Yes, classified moon craters and straight lines like this?
My friend the late Ingo Swann remote viewed key locations on the Moon and
found about ten different locations that indicated an unearthly extraterrestrial
presence. Swann 'saw' with his mind's eye craters in darkness, and
trails of tractor-tread marks. Confusion set in until Swann realized that he was
'seeing' intelligent activity and structures on the moon.
In the depths of a crater he viewed a green, dusty haze lit by
banks of artificial lights mounted on very large, tall towers. He was apparently
observing extraterrestrials building a base on the moon. Ingo sensed that he had
been psychically 'spotted' by two of the humanoid-looking inhabitants of the
moon base. The aliens appeared to be conducting mining operations on the
Moon.
Vide Vatican Official Declares On National Television:
Extraterrestrial Contact Is Real
John Jaeger, Director PUFOIN writes, Videos on
April 29, 2013, show some things simply cannot be debunked as much as people
would like to do it, no matter how hard the debunkers try sometimes the truth
just keeps coming to the surface and this is one of those times. The late
Monsignor Corrado Balducci, a theologian member of the Vatican Curia, the
governing body, and highly placed Vatican official who is close to the Pope has
been on Italian Television, no less than five times stating that
extraterrestrial contact is a real phenomena. Balducci provided an analysis of
extraterrestrials that he feels is consistent with the Catholic Churchs
understanding of theology.
Monsignor Balducci emphasizes that extraterrestrial encounters
are not demonic, they are not due to
psychological impairment, they are not a case of entity attachment, but these
encounters deserve to be studied carefully.
Since Monsignor Balducci is a demonology expert and consultant to the
Vatican , and since the Catholic Church has historically demonized many new
phenomena that were poorly understood, his stating that the Church does not
censure these encounters is all the more remarkable. The bottom line is that the
Vatican has moved quickly on the extremely difficult issue of extraterrestrials
and religion. They allegedly attended secret meeting at the UN on this subject
and obtain numerous reports from their clergy spread around the world..
The question becomes, are we paying attention or are we asleep at the
switch! We are all in for a Galileo Moment and those only come along every
200-300 years. Are you ready?
Todd writes, I wouldn't worry about a failed
anti-missile defense system. It's a joke actually. No nuke would be allowed to
go off in the first place and we have scaler technology now. Nukes are obsolete
and can 100% eliminated with the new technologies. The primitive devices are
just for show and for someone to make money developing that which is no longer
needed. This reminds me of the Mars mission. We've been there for many years now
and they pretend we are still working to achieve a Mars landing.
LOL
The following seems like science fiction, but scalar beam weapons were
invented in 1904 by a American immigrant genius called Nicola Tesla (1856 or 57
-1943) from Yugoslavia. Since he died in 1943, many nations have secretly
developed his beam weapons which now further refined are so powerful that just
by satellite one can: make a nuclear like destruction; earthquake; hurricane;
tidal wave; cause instant freezing - killing every living thing instantly over
many miles. It can cause intense heat like a burning fireball over a wide area;
induce hypnotic mind control over a whole population; or even read anyone on the
planet's mind by remote.
It can paralyze and or/kill everyone instantaneously in a 50 mile radius and
lastly remove something right out of its place in time and space faster than the
speed of light, without any detectable warning by crossing two or more beams
with each other and any target can be aimed at even right through to the
opposite side of the earth.
If either of the major scalar weapon armed countries e.g. U.S. or Russia were
to fire a nuclear missile to attack each other this may possibly not even reach
the target, because the missile could be destroyed with scalar technology. The
knowledge via radio waves that it was about to be fired could be eavesdropped
and the target could be destroyed in the bunker, fired at from space by
satellite.
Very neat things can be done if one "nests" several Tesla
shields say three or fourconcentrically, one inside the other. In that case
even the nuclear radiation (such as gamma rays) from a defense-suppressive high
altitude nuclear burst can be handled. For example, suppose three such
concentric shields are placed over a large vital area. Further, suppose a high
altitude nuclear burst is placed above the outer shield. Gamma radiation almost
instantly strikes the plasma in the outer shell, where it is absorbed,
scattered, and re-radiated at a lower temperature. (That after all is what
plasmas do.) Inside the first shell, the scattered radiation is now in the x-ray
and ultra violet region. Let us track the most lethal component, the
x-rays.
The scattered x-rays then strike the second plasma shell, and are absorbed
scattered and re-radiated at a lower temperature. Inside the second shell the
scattered radiation is now in the visible and infrared region, with a little
ultraviolet.
This optical radiation in turn strikes the third plasma shell, and is
absorbed scattered and re-radiated at still lower temperature. Inside the third
shell, most of the energy is now in the form of radio frequency (RF) energy,
with a little IR and visible band spectral energy content.
At this point, ordinary electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding of
electronic equipment on the ground inside the third shield can take care of any
RF interference resulting from the emergent RF noise protecting the city. Thanks
to Todd.
First-Ever Carrier Landing with Unmanned Autonomous
Aircraft
The Northrop Grumman-built X-47B Unmanned Combat Air
System demonstrator aircraft on Wednesday completed its first carrier-based
arrested landing on the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) off the coast of
Virginia, announced
the Navy. This marked "the first time a tailless, unmanned autonomous aircraft
landed on a modern aircraft carrier," states the sea service's July 10 release.
"Naval aviators have always been at the forefront of operational and tactical
innovation, and today was no exception," said Navy Secretary Ray Mabus. The
X-47B completed a 35-minute transit from NAS Patuxent River, Md., to the carrier
that was under way and then executed the landing, states the release. Sailors
then launched the X-47B using the carrier's catapult. "Today's
historic carrier landing and our operations aboard USS George H.W. Bush show,
beyond a shadow of a doubt, that tailless unmanned aircraft can integrate
seamlessly and operate safely from an aircraft carrier at sea,"
said Capt. Jaime Engdahl, the Navy's UCAS program manager. (See also Northrop
Grumman release.)
The Trickster
George P. Hansen, author of The Trickster
and the Paranormal, was employed in parapsychology laboratories for
eight years-three at the Rhine Research Center in Durham, North Carolina, and
five at Psychophysical Research Laboratories in Princeton, New Jersey. His
research included remote viewing, ESP, psychokinesis on electronic random number
generators, séance phenomena, and ghosts. His papers in professional journals
also cover mathematical statistics, deception, skepticism, conjurors in
parapsychology, and methodological criticisms. presented two lectures
that are now on YouTube.
The first lecture, "History of Parapsychology," discusses the rise of
psychical research from 1882 to the laboratory research of the 1980s. Some
ganzfeld telepathy experiments are presented.

The second lecture, "The Decline of Parapsychology,"
focuses on 1989 to the present day. The decline is discussed in the context of
history, sociology of religion, and secularization theory. Briefly, two
thousand years ago cultural elites displayed strong antagonism to the
paranormal, and they continue to do so today. The implications for the
scientific acceptance of the field are considered. Although parapsychology is
doing poorly, Hansen indicates promising areas for growth.
Hansen's The Trickster and the Paranormal includes considerable
discussion of UFOs, with particular attention to government disinformation. Ben

Sightings of UFOs in the
United States
FIREBALL PHENOMENON
NUFORC has posted approximately 780 new, and amended, reports, as of Friday,
July 5th. Peter Davenport has received a large number of reports of red and
orange orbs or fireballs in his reports. Peter states, Our
strong impression is that most of the reports submitted for that date this year
are not the result of firework displays. Since June 2012, NUFORC has been
inundated with reports of clusters of red, orange, or yellow fireballs, for
absence of a better term. We are very interested in this continuing phenomenon,
even though we have absolutely no idea what the objects are. We recognize that
in some cases, the luminous objects may be so-called Chinese lanterns.
However, some characteristics of the objects strongly militate against that
explanation
One of the telephoned reports of orange fireballs we have received for July
4th was submitted by a former U. S. astronaut and Space Shuttle crew member. We
are awaiting follow-up written reports from the three members of his family who
observed the object(s), and we will post those reports as quickly as we can. The
witness has stated that he is prepared to be identified publicly, and he
probably will appear as a guest on a radio program, to describe his
sighting.
Editors Note: We strongly suspect these fireballs represent a new
presence in our skies. MUFON and UFOs Northwest have also received large numbers
of similar reports.
California
Lights
San Leandro -- While sitting in my
kitchen at 11:30 pm, I saw a bright light hovering over the Half Moon Bay
Mountains for about 30 minutes +
on July 12, 2013. Then as I watched I noticed it was coming closer so I
pulled out my camera and started to tape it. I zoomed in on it and tell me what
you think a large rectangle shaped vessel with orbs floating through, it looks
like small space ships. Then it pulled back and changed shape and started
traveling SE till out of sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS
SAN BRUNO -- I was at home when I first noticed the object. It was a dim
light in the sky and as I watched it on February 2, 2013. It started to glow
brighter then dim out off and on. At first I thought it was a plane until it
started brightening and dimming. After a while it started slowly moving to the
left after hovering for about 30 minutes. So we jumped in the car and drove
towards it. As we got closer we were able to get a better shot of it and were
shocked at what we saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS

about UFOs, aliens, and life on other planets. All of the sudden I look over to
see a yellowish/reddish orange orb! I first noticed the object because of its
unusual size, glow, and the way it moved across the sky. I quickly busted out my
Droid Razr phone, and took a video of the orb as it moved to the NW, low and
slow.
The object slowly seemed to hover/move silently. After about 30-40 seconds of
viewing, the orb began to radiate a specific BLUE color. It wasnt like anything
Id ever seen from common aircraft like planes, helicopters, or whatever else is
up there. I walked away from this experience believing I had witnessed, and
video recorded a possible UFO or a real UFO of an extraterrestrial nature.

Illinois Orbs
Belleville-- I saw four
consecutive red lights in the sky near the border of Freeburg, IL. They were in
an Orions Belt kind of formation. It was about 9:09 PM, on July 4, 2013. Two of
the most northern lights moved with incredible speed went from their frozen
state in the sky to the west about two miles and came back to the same spot.
I was in my truck at the time heading down Mascoutah Roa d and I know that it
wasnt fireworks, because the fireworks dimmed away. These stayed in place for
minutes, moved around and then vanished. The two glowing dots in the photo on
the bottom and middle of the photo are part of the formation of the UFO. Thanks

Indiana Lights
South Bend -- I live about four miles
north of downtown and at 10:15 pm on July 13 2013, I looked out of my living
room window to the south and saw a red/orange object going to west. It was twice
the size of the brightest star. I saw two of them and filmed them until they
went behind my neighbors trees. I saw that there were three more coming into
view and I filmed them as well. When I zoomed into the last one it changed
colors rapidly. They were all traveling at the same speed in a minute to a
minute and a half. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Clinton -- The evening of July 3, 2013, at
10:30 pm, I took the following photos. I was able to follow the UFO, observe it,
and take these photos all at the same time. I first saw the UFO while I was in
the parking lot at Wal-Mart which is six miles east of Blanford where I live.
The object moved east and changed color from white to orange. The sky had grown
darker that might account for the color change. The thing kept going east until
out of sight. The last three photos are blurry from being enlarged. Take care.

Missouri
Arch-
St. Louis On July 4,
2013, I was watching the fireworks at the Arch Grounds and took two pictures of
the Arch. The first picture was normal, but the second had a grey line in the
middle. I zoomed in a noticed it looked like a UFO.
Note: The time of the photo seems a little early to be
watching fireworks as it was daylight. The witness has been contacted to verify
the time of the photo. Updates will be posted. Thanks to William Puckett,

New Jersey15 Bright Orbs
moorestown -- I was traveling with my fiancé down Westfield
Road when we spotted a police officer make a sharp turn and park down a street
and observing a bunch of glowing red orbs in the sky. At first we thought it
could have been a flyover for the last day of fireworks, but as time went on
this scenario seemed less likely to be. They were all traveling in close
proximity to one another. There must have been over 15 of them.
The red lights were flashing sequentially bright then dull bright then dull.
The objects didnt flutter or change direction suddenly. There were over 500
lights moving fast, and helicopters in the air but not close to them, but you
can tell the difference. There were also planes flying above to. Im curious as
to what the cop saw or why there were over six cars pulled to the side of the
road. Thanks to MUFON CMS
North Carolina
Cylinder
MEBANE --Sitting out back on the deck I was looking up when I noticed
a bright white cylinder travelling very fast SE on July 7, 2013. We heard
nothing and it had no contrail in the clear blue sky. My daughter and I remarked
that it seemed to be going way faster than commercial aircraft. It also was not
on normal flight path that the commercial jets take. It was just a bright white
light. If it was a military jet it was flying faster than sound, but we heard
nothing. It crossed the sky in about three seconds.. Thanks to MUFON

Ohio Orbs
MOUNT ORAB -- I was outside doing yard work on July 12,
2013, when a helicopter approached from the south at 1 pm-. It was a military
Blackhawk with no observable markings, traveling at high elevation and speed.
Despite the altitude, the engine noise was very loud, which led me to believe it
was at full throttle and traveling behind it were three dark objects. I first
thought they were birds due to their small size and erratic movements but it
became apparent they were at similar elevation and speed.
The objects were tiny, almost invisible unless silhouetted against a cloud.
They were some kind of plate shape (wide and thin) and spent most of the
observed time banking, leaving only the slim profile to observe. They were
black, and very small. As far as I could tell, they changed elevation easily. In
the first 60 seconds of my observation, they trailed behind the helicopter,
flying in a loose triangle formation. The three individual objects were banking
in and out of formation. In the last 60 seconds, they broke formation and gained
altitude and one got ahead of the helicopter twisting in an S maneuver out of my
line of sight. The other two climbed above the clouds only visible briefly in
breaks of the cloud. The helicopter never deviated course as the objects flew
above it at all times. NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Ken Pfeifer MUFON

Oregon Ball
SEASIDE --I saw a big orange ball
floating up then stopping and heading east on July 4, 2013, at 11 PM. My friend
got a very up close and personal video.
The video I have is from Salem Oregon! The ball moved very slow at first on
its way up, then started east slowly for about 30 seconds and then flew across
the sky at tremendous speed! Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Orbs
Leander I was visiting my sons grave
and took a photo of white and black objects in the sky over the Bagdad Cemetery.
I was focusing on the interesting cloud formation and dont recall seeing
these objects. I took more pictures through the car window a few days later, but
the white object did not appear in these pictures. Someone suggested that my
windshield could have been dirty
Note: The white area is a rain shaft. The dark objects
could be windblown debris ahead of the thunderstorm. A review of weather
conditions near the sighting showed that winds were gusting to 25 MPH. It is
doubtful that the objects are due to spots on the car window because the objects
only appear in one photo.
Brisbane-- I'm a very keen aviation
photographer and on 1st of July 2007, I went out to Airport to take photos of
aircraft from 10 am till 6 pm. I would usually take my Canon EOS 350D with
70-200 mm lens. Somewhere around 4 pm, a Qantas 767 aircraft departed for
Melbourne flying about 450 feet altitude when I shot this climbing jet and a
possible UFO at the bottom right of the photo.
Looking at the image the plane is climbing out over runway 19 south, and I
was looking east towards Fisherman Island. I was firing a whole series of
photo's, usually at birds but was not aware of this. I reviewed all my photo's
and saw that spot. I just thought I'd share with you and see what your opinion
maybe. Cheers, Norbert Vari. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS
Darley,
Victoria A weird light was seen in the sky on June
29, 2013, at 7 pm. It was pulsating and changing color and the object had NO
sound. There were no other lights near it.
The video footage has been
circulated via internet, you tube, and Facebook, but as of yet there has been no
explanation for this object, so it remains unidentified. It also set the dogs in
the neighborhood off, barking, and my German Shepherds clearly did not want me
outside. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia On June5, 2013,
I was taking pictures of a bird and noticed first orb like glow but while going
through the rest of the photos I noticed something different color and shape
than what I had seen. I am now submitting both photos together and zoomed in so
you can decide what they are. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Notre-Dame-du-Nord -- My friend
took and sent me that digital photo of the moon from Quebec and we can see an
object near the moon. We would like to know what you think of it, because in her
area and also in mine lots of thing happening in the sky. She noticed after she
took the photo on June 26, 2013, and she kept watching it after for a while.

Egypt Disc
Cairo I was at my vacation at the Giza Pyramids on May 20,
2013. I was on the camel heading away from the pyramids, when doing this; I was
taking lots of photos with my galaxy S3, with the frontal camera.
I did
not realize the UFO until I got home, when I started to look at the photos. I
thought immediately that it is a UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Sicilia,

Villaggio Mosè -- The flying object had a strange movement
on June 24, 2013. It would accelerate, then stop, start immediately and shooting
away. The lights were astern chasing each other and constantly changing color.

East, ã -- My sister drove home next to the bridge on June
24, 1013, and saw a beautiful sunrise and took pictures. The first image was
strange so immediately pressed the second shutter. I checked the photos and
found the first photo was of a disc that turned out to be a very clear UFO. I
immediately checked the second photo which does not have any UFO. The whole
family is shocked in disbelief. I have twice in the same place seen flying
objects that I suspect are UFOs as well as points of light hovering in the
vicinity. I hope to keep this place quiet. We are willing to provide photos to

ONCE UPON A MISSING TIME is a powerful and emotional journey
involving married couple Alan and Pamela Morrison and their teenage daughter
Wendy. Alan is a teacher at the local High School and his wife Pamela is a
social worker for the local authority. One night whilst driving back from their
in-laws home near the rural North Yorkshire village of East Yardsley, the
Morrison family encounter something that would change their lives and world view
forever. The Morrisons have a close encounter, a close encounter with something
quite extraordinary. On arriving home they discover nearly four hours of their
lives MISSING. Plagued by nightmarish shared dreams the Morrisons look for
answers for their MISSING TIME. Their search for answers threatens to tear the
family apart, leaving them with lives that will never be the same again. Set in
rural England in 1990 this was an era before the internet and the digital age.
The Morrison family search for answers that eventually ends in frustration and
betrayal. This is not a story about alien visitation but rather how a family try
desperately to cope with a phenomenon that no one seems to understand.
Although a work of fiction ONCE UPON A MISSING TIME is based on real
life Close Encounter cases from the UK. All of the characters in this drama
are based on people who have either experienced this phenomena first hand or
have been UFO investigators. The names, locations and professions of all have
been changed to protect the individuals concerned. Once you have read ONCE UPON
A MISSING TIME you will realise that the phrase Close Encounter was not just
a figment of Steven Spielbergs imagination.

I had a read through again and IMHO, I found it a lovely
read, taking into accounts genuine experiences and putting them in a way readers
could understand without making it too dark or heavy and yet keeping that
balance of light-heartedness without mocking or patronising those who have had
experiences. This was a refreshing change for me personally as someone who has
had first hand experience of UFO encounters.
Rosalind Reynolds,
UK
close encounter witness.
"Philip Mantle is
probably one of the major unsung heroes of the British UFO scene, having been
eclipsed by the likes of Timothy Good and Nick Pope. In this, his first fiction
book, he tackles the thorny subject of the "abduction" and "Close Encounter"
scenario. Although the book is a work of fiction, it draws from many well
documented cases from the never-ending enigma that is the UFO subject. This book
will provide a thought provoking read, if you are skeptic or believer in the
phenomenon."
Kevin Goodman,
author of "UFO Warminster: Cradle of contact",
UK.
"A not to be missed
fiction from one of the leading authorities on UFO's. Has to be worth a
read!"
Philip Gardiner,
Author/filmmaker, UK.
"Philip Mantle is
extremely knowledgeable about the abduction phenomenon, and it shows. In this
graphic novel his real-life expertise translates dramatically into the lives of
the characters. Once Upon a Missing Time should not be missed".
"Scrupulously well thought-out, Once Upon a Missing Time provides a
gripping insight into one of the greatest enigmas of our era. Although a work of
fiction, it carries a disturbing aura of reality on every page".
"They
say time is a great healer - and it is, until it goes missing. Philip Mantle's
novel takes us on a dark tour through the oft-misunderstood abduction phenomenon
- and the angst it can cause in the lives of its victims. A thought-provoking
read". Mike Hallowell, Freelance journalist &
author, UK.
"Philip Mantle's
long career as an established UFO researcher translates into the gripping story
of a family besieged by the inexplicable - a realistic and credible account of
the alien abduction phenomenon."
Lee Paqui - Editor, UFO Encounter', or 'Lee Paqui - UFO
ResearchQueensland,
Australia.
The work of Philip Mantle is
never a surprise, because we know how good it is. In this book, although a work
of fiction, I know that Philip has used all of his experience to bring the close
encounter experience to life.
Thiago Luiz Ticchetti, UFO researcher and author,
Brazil.
"Philip
Mantle has put the trauma of the alien abduction into perspective for all of us
in his story that sucks us in on the first page. It is a tale, not of aliens,
but of the results of those who have been abducted and what they experience as a
result of something that is beyond their control. Mantle has provided a story
that draws to in and keeps you entertained from the first page to the last. It
is a story that causes you to keep turning the pages."
Kevin Randle, UFO author, lecturer and broadcaster,
USA.
In a classic example of
poacher turned gamekeeper, Philip Mantle has dug deep into his long established
background as a world renowned investigator of the UFO phenomenon to produce a
first class novel based on his years of experience in the field and a damn fine
job he makes of it too. This book bears all the hallmarks of a homage to a well
loved and understood subject and it is told in a surprisingly matter of fact
manner that belies the central premise of alien abduction and how it can badly
affect those involved.

A chat with Nick Pope, XCOMs real-life UFO
investigator (interview)
Sebastian Haley/GamesBeat
Nick Pope was an UFO investigator for the British
for 21 years. He now serves as a consultant for all kinds of alien-related
entertainment projects, including the new The Bureau: XCOM Declassified game.
July 17, 2013 10:00 AM
Depending on your disposition to the idea of a real-life X-Files
program, the name Nick Pope may have one of a variety of effects on you. Pope
has long been a staple of the ufology scene thanks to his role as a UFO
investigator during the 21 years he worked for the the United Kingdoms Ministry
of Defense. Naturally, hes now involved in the new XCOM game.
GamesBeat met with Pope at a private The Bureau: XCOM Declassified event held
by developer 2K Marin and publisher 2K Games. You can read our thoughts on the
game itself, along with developer interviews, in our hands-on
preview.
GamesBeat: Can you start off with the general overview of your
responsibilities as a UFO investigator?
Nick Pope: I had to basically investigate UFO sightings and
see if they were any potential threat or, more generally, if they were of any
defense interest. We didnt take a view on what they might or might not be. We
just said, Look, people have seen things. Particularly, as its often alleged,
these were solid-structured things in our airspace. That made it a defense
issue. That made it a national security issue.
But like I say, we didnt take a view on whether we were dealing with aliens
or whether we were dealing, as was the original thinking, with maybe the next
generation of Soviet spy planes or drones, something like that. That was
basically the job. Through that, anything else weird or wonderful that there
wasnt a place for in government kind of came our way by default, particularly
if it was perceived that there was a link with UFOs. Alien abductions, crop
circles. We found ourselves getting all the weird stuff, like people who had
seen ghosts at military bases. Thats why it has been called the real-life
X-Files.
GamesBeat: What do you do now?
Pope: Basically, I work as a freelance writer and
broadcaster. Ive written a couple of sci-fi books. I do a lot of TV work on
shows like Ancient Aliens. Ive worked with some of the Hollywood film
companies on some of the PR for movie launches, if theres an alien theme. I
guess people come to me and say, Well, were doing this as fiction, but theres
very often an interesting tie-in. Is any of this actually true?
The alien threat from The Bureau: XCOM
Declassified.
GamesBeat: Some of your findings over the past couple of decades have
been declassified recently, is that correct?
Pope: Yeah, almost literally just two weeks ago, three weeks
ago. The British government finished what had been a five-year program to
declassify and release the entire archive. That was round about 52,000 pages of
documents. A lot of it was just fire lanterns and weather balloons and things
like that. But there were some more interesting cases in there too.
GamesBeat: Can you share some of the highlights?
Pope: Sure. The most famous case in there and I think its
a better case than Roswell is something called the Rendelsham Forest
incident.
This was December 1980. A UFO was actually seen to land in a forest between
two military bases. This was in the U.K., but they were American Air Force
bases. This small triangular craft of some sort came down in a small clearing,
and a patrol of security police, who had originally thought a plane had crashed,
went out and encountered this weird thing. They saw strange symbols on the side
of it that looked a bit like Egyptian hieroglyphs. Then it rose up above the
ground very slowly, cleared the treetops, and shot away to the horizon in an
instant. Two days later it came back. It didnt land that time, but it was
flying around in the area.
The witnesses included the deputy base commander. They went back to the
clearing where this thing had landed on the first night and they found
indentations, showing that something heavy had been there. They took a Geiger
counter out there and found that the radiation levels seemed to be significantly
higher than background. Its a phenomenal story. Some of the guys now have
health issues. Theres talk of a federal lawsuit.
Theres a whole bunch of former congresspeople that just wrote, at the
beginning of May, a letter to the secretary of the Veterans Affairs department
and to the president saying, The two guys who got close to this cant get their
medical records out of the system. Please help them. Its a really good case,
because its not just anecdotal. Like you said in your question, there is a
declassified and released audit trail of government documents to show that this
happened.
GamesBeat: Its interesting that you worked on not only your own
fiction but also Hollywood and now games. Do you feel like the surplus of
fiction surrounding this topic colors peoples opinion as to whether something
like this could ever be real?
Pope: Theres a whole bunch of conspiracy theories about
this. Science fiction and the whole idea of aliens, in movies and computer
games, is so embedded now in the public consciousness that its difficult to
separate the fact and the fiction. Some people think that Hollywood movies and
computer games are one of the ways in which governments slowly acclimatize
people to this. There used to be this old theory that you couldnt say this was
real, because there would be panic in the streets.
But what if you slipped it out generally, slowly, over the years, in all
these movies, so that people were so used to the idea? I think the opinion polls
now show that round about 50 percent of people think theres visitation by
aliens. A much higher percentage believes that theres life out there in the
universe, but around 50 percent, I think, think theyre coming here. A sizable
number of those people think that governments know more about it than theyre
letting on. I dont know. Its odd, because if that was the case, its a
slightly mixed message. You get good aliens like E.T. and then you get
the whole Independence Day, War of the Worlds, XCOM thing,
which is more about full-on violence and invasion.
I suppose its a point about films more generally, that its more likely that
movies and computer games will show aliens hostile, because it gives you that
whole dynamic of a struggle to deal with. With a movie like E.T., its
just getting home, and thats it.
GamesBeat: And feed him Reeses Pieces. So what has been your
contribution to the XCOM project?
Pope: Its basically just helping, maybe, to start a
conversation with the people that play the game, to ask the sort of questions
that were getting to. Could any of this be based in reality? Did something
like Roswell, for example, really happen? And if it did, questions like, Would
the government keep it secret? and Could you keep a thing like this a secret?
Which I think are two different questions. I think, on the first answer, its
probably, Yes, you would keep it secret.
I think technology acquisition gets to the heart of it. Hopefully this is the
sort of thing that I can contribute to a conversation about this. The country
or corporation, maybe that first gets its hands on alien technology, if such a
thing exists, is going to have such a huge advantage that the stakes are high
enough to justify secrecy. Youd want it for yourself. So, going back in time,
if Roswell really happened, you could understand that some overenthusiastic base
PR person said, Oh, weve got one of these flying disks, and then high command
stepped in and said, No, its a weather balloon and took it away to hangar and
worked on that.
You wouldnt want to share that with the Soviets, particularly with the Cold
War just starting.
Whats your alien apocalypse survival
plan?
GamesBeat: What do you think of the game so far?
Pope: Oh, I love it. Im not just saying that. I meanI
guess I was brought up, maybe, in an era where games were just a few pixels
moving clumsily across the screen. I cant even remember what they were called.
What was that one where you just bounced it around?
GamesBeat: Pong?
Pope: Pong! Im probably showing my age there. But you look
at something like The Bureau, and its just, My God. The other thing is, I
love that whole style of the 60s, whether its the cars or the shops, the
signs. Its got a nice feel to it as well. Like I say, I dont play these games,
so I cant, Im afraid, give any sort of technical-insight clever answer to
that. But Ive obviously sat in on some meetings; Ive looked at it, and Ive
thought, Wow, thats impressive.
GamesBeat: In all your decades of work that youve done and your
hypothesizing and discussion and so on, if you turned on the news and saw that
aliens were arriving lights in the sky and that kind of stuff would you be
excited, or would you be worried?
Pope: Both. Id see it as almost a validation or a
culmination of a quest that I guess Ive been on. But alsoI guess,
self-evidently, if aliens get here, given that we can only just about slowly
send a few space probes out to the edge of our solar system, if somebody has
cracked viable interstellar travel, theyve got technology orders of magnitude
above and beyond anything weve got. So I couldnt help but be worried.
I think Stephen Hawking said this it would be like the European explorers
meeting the Native Americans, only were the Native Americans. Wed have to hope
that alien visitors are explorers, ambassadors, adventurers, and not the sort of
cynical exploiters that, sadly, in human history weve tended to be when we
encounter new territories. So were going to have to hope that theyre friendly
and altruistic, because if theyre not, were in trouble.
GamesBeat: We can hope that it doesnt come back on us, all the
terrible things that weve done to other civilizations.
Pope: Yes. It would be a kind of cosmic karma, I suppose, if
it did. Our only hope would be that great staple of sci-fi, to use the aliens
own technology against them.
GamesBeat: Or water and air, in the case of Signs and
War of the Worlds.
Pope: [Laughs] Yeah, or Independence Day:
Just plug your laptop in and take down the entire alien defense system.
GamesBeat: I think the secret is just to have Randy Quaid on speed dial
and to keep his crop-duster fueled.
When it comes to UFO reports, people often witness helicopters in close
proximity to unidentified flying objects. While there are several examples of
this, none are more well-known than the Cash-Landrum
incident. The sighting occurred on December 29, 1980 and is one of the few cases
in which the witnesses experienced adverse health issues as a result of it. In
addition, it would later lead to a civil suit against the US government for
damages.
On that fateful night, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum and her grandson Colby were
driving home to Dayton, Texas. As they traveled down Farm-To-Market Rd 1485, a
desolate stretch of road in Piney Woods northeast of Houston, Colby noticed a
light ahead of them just over the tree line. Initially their first thought was
it's an airplane or helicopter from one of the nearby airfields. However, once
it got closer they realized this was no ordinary aircraft.
The UFO, which now hovered over the road directly in front of them, was
shaped like a diamond with the top and bottom cutoff. At regular intervals it
was shooting out an intense stream of reddish-orange flames from the bottom.
They described it as something akin to a rocket blast. Betty had brought the car
to an immediate stop to avoid driving underneath it.
The cars heater had been on to fight the cold chill of that late December
night. Yet Betty had to turn it off as the vehicle became extremely hot inside.
The three occupants soon exited the car because of it. Once outside they could
hear a roaring sound coming from the UFO. As well, they also heard a constant
beeping sound being emitted from the craft. They also felt an immense amount of
heat radiating from the craft. Their faces felt as if they were burning.
Scared, Colby Landrum and his grandmother went back into the car in search of
safety. Betty, fascinated by what see was seeing, had decided to stay outside.
Not a believer in UFOs or ET, she felt this was the return of Christ and the end
of the world. As they all watched this spectacle, the sky was soon filled with
helicopters. According to the witnesses, they observed around 23 of them which
they later identified as both Chinook and Huey copters.
Betty soon returned to the vehicle, but burned herself while trying to open
the door. The car had become extremely hot to the touch. Using her leather coat,
she opened the door and entered the vehicle. Soon thereafter, the UFO slowly
ascended with the helicopters in tow as it disappeared off into the
distance.
In short, this is the just of what happened that night.
Fast-forward almost 19 years to the day, a then secret military aircraft
would soon make headlines as the result of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
request by the magazine Popular Mechanics. The craft, named the Lenticular
Reentry Vehicle (LVR), was a nuclear flying saucer designed by the Los Angeles
Division of North American Aviation under contract with the U.S. Air Force.
Until then, this flying saucer had been hidden away for years under the
Pentagons cloak of black budget secrets. The project was classified from 1962
until December 28, 1999 when it was cleared for public release.
The LVR held a crew of four and would have operated at an orbital altitude of
300 nautical miles, a distance equal to that of the Earth's atmosphere. It was
designed for missions of a six-week duration. The propulsion on this saucer was
accomplished through its dual nuclear rocket engines and onboard nuclear
powerplants. The craft was built to rain hell down on any enemy at a moments
notice with its arsenal of nuclear missiles.
Dr. Brian McClelland, Betty Cash's personal physician, later stated that the
witnesses suffered radiation exposure on a level felt three to five miles from
ground zero of Hiroshima or 2-3 grays of radiation. A full-body exposure at one
time to 5 gray or more from high-energy radiation leads to death within 14 days.
The victims encounter only lasted for approximately 15 minutes. All three had
classic symptoms of exposure from nausea, vomiting and burns, to hair loss,
swelling and diarrhea. Their health issues were immediate, starting only a few
hours after the sighting.
Keep in mind it was Dr. McClelland who also stated an inside source informed
him this UFO was an experimental nuclear craft called the WASP II.
They reported that the UFO appeared to be in trouble and was having
difficulties. As mentioned, it was emitting a loud pitched beep a regular
intervals. Might this beep have been an emergency warning system triggered as a
result of a failing nuclear reactor onboard this experimental aircraft? Or could
it be this craft was equipped with a nuclear rocket propulsion system and the
described rocket blasts coming out the bottom were producing a radioactive
exhaust?
Given the degree to which they suffered as a result of their exposure, is it
a reasonable assumption that the pilot and crew of this troubled UFO possibly
received a lethal dose of radiation. The diamond craft was a substantial size
and would have warranted a crew larger than just a single pilot. Sadly, if the
cockpit and crew were not protected, they likely died within weeks after the
incident.
In the LVR example, the aircraft was not equipped with any protective layer
between the occupants and nuclear reactors. Instead, it was designed for the
emergency ejection of a smaller craft that separated from the saucer and
returned its crew safely to Earth. Considering the Cash-Landrum UFO was under
intelligent control throughout their encounter, it would seem apparent that this
crew stayed with it until the very end.
Why would they put civilians at risk by hovering this nuclear disaster over a
public road for such an extended length of time? Knowing they were making their
last flight before certain death, did they hope to expose this experimental
aircraft before resigning to their death beds? In essence, making a death bed
confession. The area surrounding their encounter had a number of open fields the
craft could have used as opposed to a public road. These are questions that may
never be answered.
In regards to the Chinook and Huey helicopters escorting it, they were likely
dispatched to assist in the recovery of this craft should it crash or the crew
fail. Never have so many copters been witnessed around a UFO at one time. This
was probably due to the severe nature of the incident. Essentially, the military
was dealing with a potential nuclear disaster over a populated area on a scale
seldom seen in history. They would have been tasked with securing the crash site
as well as the immediate evacuation of the public surrounding it.
That said, it's doesn't take a large leap of faith to believe this UFO was
man-made. Clearly the evidence points more to that being the case as opposed to
extraterrestrials. While it's probable that humanity has been visited on
multiple occasions, this is not one such example. Instead, Betty Cash, Vickie
Landrum and grandson Colby were the victims of an experimental nuclear aircraft
that went awry. One in which officialdom still denies...
5 scientific theories about what aliens might look like - The
Week
We've seen them portrayed in a vast variety of Hollywood films, from the
nasty, slimy suckers shown in Independence Day to the precious,
teddy-bear-esque creature that charmed us in E.T. But which is closer
to the truth? As our understanding of the universe grows and the outlook on our
existence is in turn humbled, scientists are beginning to theorize what these
extraterrestrials might look like. While opinions can certainly vary (we all
have them, no doubt), scientists are forming theirs on the basis of
environmental and biological clues rather than science fiction. Does that mean
we're closer to the answer? Of course not! Read on below to see the various
forms of life scientists are predicting.
1. JELLYFISH Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, who works for space
firm Astrium, believes
that aliens would be marine-type animals with "pulses of light for
communication with other aliens, mouth type openings to scope chemicals from
atmosphere for growth and reproduction, bodies that enlarge in sunlight,
metallic surfaces for absorbing light, lenses for detailed viewing of their
surroundings, orange undersides for camouflage, buoyancy sacks to maintain
altitude." She bases this on her theory of how life began in the ocean here on
earth and draws the conclusion that creatures could interact with a foreign
atmosphere the same way organisms in our oceans interact with water.
2. BUGS Cockroaches are among our planet's most
indestructible creatures thanks to their thick exoskeleton, able to survive a
very large range of intense conditions (including, some
say, nuclear war). This makes a bug-style life form (intelligent or not)
with strong armor a
good bet when it comes to the myriad of environments which our universe
contains.
3. JUST LIKE HUMANS Simon
Conway Morris, professor of evolutionary paleobiology at Cambridge
University, thinks that aliens would be "just like humans," not only in
appearance and biology but in weaknesses, such as "greed, violence and a
tendency to exploit others' resources."
"My view is that Darwinian evolution is really quite predictable," Morris
says, "and when you have a biosphere and evolution takes over, then common
themes emerge and the same is true for intelligence."
Whether aliens being "just like us" would be a good thing or a bad thing is
up for debate!
4. NON-CARBON LIFE Based on what we know about life as it
exists on Earth, it's understandable why many scientists, including Morris,
would subscribe to the idea that aliens will look like humans. But while most of
the life found on planet Earth is composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen,
oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur, scientists found multicellular organisms that do
not need oxygen back in 2010 (only bacteria were thought to have this trait
prior). This obviously opened up a few questions about the way we view life and
how it can exist. Scientific hypotheses exist today that suggest non-carbon
based life could exist in the universe the
trendy pick is now silicon-based life forms and if this turns out to be
true, chances are that it would look nothing like that found on our planet.
5. CREATURES OF THE EXTREMES: DEEP SEA AND HIGH AIR For
example, in the Discovery Canada show Aliens: The Definitive Guide, Dr.
Lewis Dartnell, an astrobiologist at University College London, laid
out a few possibilities for aliens that might come from planets unlike our
own. Creatures from "water worlds" might develop along the lines of the
organisms we find in the bowels of our oceans, and a planet with a heavy gravity
could support bigger, larger, and more powerful "flying creatures" that take
advantage of the thick and dense atmosphere.
Have any ideas of your own about what E.T. might look like? Feel free to
leave them in the comments below.
Een mooie "vliegende schotel',... gewoon een drone?
Bekijk dit filmpje van een mooie "vliegende schotel", maar het is volgens mij gewoon een "drone". De techniek staat niet stil en van afstand besturen valt mee, zelfs voor militaire tussenkomsten.
Als het filmpje gedaan, kan je nog een aantal, andere interessante items aanklikken.
In honor of US Independence
Day, Catherine Austin Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD), released a document supporting her claims
that the US Navy initiated a plan in 1998 to adjust its operations for a future
where extraterrestrials exist and live among us. She claims the plan was
commissioned by the Undersecretary of the US Navy and was undertaken by the
Arlington Institute, an NGO located near the Pentagon with many military
clients, where Fitts served on the Board of Directors. She was asked to assist
with the plan and claims she was given an opportunity to meet a live alien, but
declined. When I contacted the Arlington Institute in 2008, two members of the
Board of Directors repudiated Fitts claims. The document released on her website
is the official minutes of a Board of Directors meeting held at the Arlington
Institute in 2000. The document confirms key elements in her version of events,
especially that Arlington Institute was actively discussing plans for how to
best prepare the general public for disclosing the existence of, and contact
with, extraterrestrial life.
Catherine Fitts claims that in 1998 the Undersecretary of the
U.S. Navy had commissioned a high level strategic plan to prepare the American
public for an official announcement that extraterrestrials exist and live among
us. She
wrote:
In 1998, I was approached by John Peterson, head of the Arlington
Institute, a small high quality military think tank in Washington, DC. I had
gotten to know John through Global Business Network and had been impressed by
his intelligence, effectiveness and compassion. John asked me to help him with a
high level strategic plan Arlington was planning to undertake for the
Undersecretary of the Navy. At the time I was the target of an intense smear
campaign that would lead the normal person to assume that I would be in jail
shortly or worse. John explained that the Navy understood that it was all
politics - they did not care. I met with a group of high level people in the
military in the process including the Undersecretary. According to John, the
purpose of the plan discussed in front of several military or retired military
officers and former government officials was to help the Navy adjust their
operations for a world in which it was commonly known that aliens exist and live
among us. When John explained this purpose to me, I explained that I did not
know that aliens existed and lived among us. John asked me if I would like to
meet some aliens. For the only time in my life, I declined an opportunity to
learn about something important.
In March 2008 I was planning to
write an article about Ms Fitts claims, and began my investigation by first
contacting her to elaborate or clarify her earlier recollection. Fitts said she
had nothing to add to what had already been released to the public. I then
contacted John Petersen, President of the Arlington Institute. He flatly denied
Ms Fitts claims and offered to put me in communication with other members of the
Board of Directors to get independent confirmation. In subsequent email
communications with Joe Firmage, another Board member, he also denied Ms
Fitts version of events, and did not recall any meetings where she was also
present where the issue of extraterrestrial life was discussed. I was
unsuccessful in reaching Jerry
MacArthur Hultin, who served as Undersecretary of the Navy during the period
mentioned by Fitts.
To varying degrees, Petersen and Firmage both claimed there was
no substance to Fitts story. Petersen was especially insistent that Fitts had
contrived the entire scenario. Given that two members of the Arlington Institute
Board of Directors directly contradicted her version of events, and I was not
able to find any other witnesses to support her claims, I decided to postpone
writing an article on the incident until independent confirmation could be
found.
Almost five years later, in my recently published book, Galactic
Diplomacy: Getting to Yes with ET, I included the incident described by
Catherine Fitts along with the denial by John Petersen and Joe Firmage. I wrote:
I have been able to confirm that Fitts served on the Board of
Directors of the Arlington Institute during the period in question, and that
extraterrestrial life was discussed at some of its closed door meetings as a
hypothetical wildcard event. However, Fitts specific claim of there being a
strategic plan sponsored by the U.S. Navy to prepare the public for disclosure
of extraterrestrial life, or of a possible meeting an extraterrestrial, was not
supported by other Board members.414
In the footnote 414,
I gave some details of my communications with Petersen and Firmage. On July 4,
2013 I received a short email by Ms Fitts with a subject header referencing
footnote 414 in my Galactic Diplomacy book where I elaborated on the repudiation
of her claims by Arlington Institute Board members. The content of her email
directed me to a new page on her Solari website which was just
uploaded. She wrote:
In the spirit of Independence Day, I am publishing the minutes of
the board meeting of the Arlington Institute on April 10th, 2000. I have
repeatedly stated that I would do so if my description of this meeting was
contradicted by any of the members.
With the publication of Galactic
Diplomacy, the contradiction of her version of events by other Arlington
Institute Board members was now part of the public record. Consequently, Fitts
felt free to release documentation supporting her version of events Minutes of
the March 26, 1999 Board of Directors meeting. The Minutes
of the meeting state:
Mr. Petersen then reported that the Institute had been approached to
determine if it was interested in publishing a study by Pickford and Lindemann
on the subject of life outside of the earth. After discussion, there was general
agreement that publication of the study would be a good idea and would be
consistent with the work otherwise being done by the Institute with respect to
wild cards.
While the study mentioned by Pickford and Lindemann is
not identified, here is an online account
of eight alien contact scenarios they developed for a workshop on
extraterrestrial contact as recalled by one of the participants:
Called the second Contact Planning meeting and held in Denver,
Colorado, this workshop was sponsored by the International Space Sciences
Organization and organized by Kyle Pickford and Michael Lindemann . We spent one
afternoon in five groups: business, religion, science, government, and
media/public. Each group role-played its behavior for each of eight scenarios.
Although I have read lots of literature on post-contact behavior, this was the
first time that I deeply grasped just how people in each of those categories may
actually behave right after contact . What can we do now to prepare? We spent
the last few hours of the meeting generating and clustering various strategic
planning possibilities. A large number of these ideas clearly fit into two
clusters that I find very encouraging: (a) tell the general public the truth
right away and (b) prepare to communicate and negotiate with ETI in a friendly
and cooperative manner, even if its behavior seems unfriendly.
The
minutes of the meeting confirm that the Arlington Institute was discussing
extraterrestrial contact scenarios in at least one Board of Directors meeting as
Fitts claimed. Importantly, the minutes confirm that the Arlington Institute was
doing work for clients that involved extraterrestrial contact as a wild card
issue. According to Ms Fitts, one of these clients was the US Navy.
In private email communications, Petersen confirmed that Fitts
did participate in a Navy Project conducted by the Arlington Institute, and that
the extraterrestrial contact issue did come up as a wild card future scenario
event. However, he pointed out that there was no strategic plan commissioned by
the US Navy to prepare the public for extraterrestrial contact as claimed by
Fitts.
There
remains substantial differences between Catherine Fitts and John Petersen over
the extent to which the US Navy interest in extraterrestrial contact issues was
part of a strategic study as Fitts claims, or simply part of ad hoc discussions
as Petersen contends. Nevertheless, the official Board minutes released by Fitts
does lend support to her main claim that the US Navy commissioned a project with
the Arlington Institute for its expertise on wild card future scenarios
involving extraterrestrial contact. It can therefore be concluded with some
confidence that official efforts began in 1998 by the US Navy to prepare for a
world where extraterrestrials exist and are living among the human population.
Important article from
Billy Cox. GEIPAN and CEFAA finally started with formal cooperation and this
could be the prototype of official international UFO
committee.
General Bermudez shared
with me similar plans back in 2000. when I interviewed him (SEPRA was
predecessor of GEIPAN at the time with Jean Jacques Velasco as head of SEPRA): -
excerpt in red from my interview:
"This
year was held in Chile from march 27 to april 2, the International Air and Space
Fair (FIDAE 2000). It is one of the worlds largest aeronautical shows,
organized every two year by the Chilean Air Force (FACH) at Santiagos LosC
errillos Airport. A series of ufo events took place during four consecutives
days at FIDAE, including a press conference, a closed worshop, and two-day
symposium titled UFO: Analysis, Investigations and Perspectives for the New
Millenium, open to all attendees of the expo. . . . . The group finally makes
an energetic call to international cooperation at the level of governments and
institutions to contribute in the exchange of data and experiences, to strenght
significantly the possibility of finding answers to the unknowns currently
presented by the phenomenon. On the other hand, CEFAA is processing an
agreement protocol with SEPRA, of France and compromise of mutual cooperation
with NIDS (National Institute for Discovery Science) of
USA."
It seems it is now
finally implemented. Here is the link of the
article:
Another milestone
occurred off the MSM whiteboards last week when two foreign governments formally
agreed to collaborate on UFO/UAP research. Representatives from GEIPAN and
CEFAA, the agencies charged with collecting UFO data for France and Chile,
respectively, met for the first time at a conference in Greensboro, N.C., last
month and discovered a wealth of common ground in their approach to the
phenomena.
Réaction of Bernard L. Thouanel; I was particularly aware of the early contacts as I met General Bermudez and his
associates
from CEFAA end of the year 1999 in Chile, after having published the Cometa Report in July
1999.
Jean-Jacques Velasco whom I knew very well at this time came into a similar
agreement
when he visited Chile one year after my "first contact". It never
worked...
So, why it should better work today ?
French want to get the info from South America, but they will not give much
back in return.
For one simple reason: they don't want to study the phenomenon but apply
the technology for their own, and I know it better than anybody
because the Cometa Group key members told me many times this was their goal. And I recall that I was the only one journalist who
witnessed one of their meetings.
On the other hand, I really doubt the french will give access to all UFO
reports to Chile especially when they are concerning nuclear plants and military facilities or units.
These are National Security items in France and automatically classified.
Those who believe this so-called mutual gentle agreement of cooperation
will work and open the way to an international UFO Research Office are dreaming, or are using this announcement for the
purpose of their own advertising. Period.
I have the experience of more than 20 years as a military aerospace
journalist with full credential with the french Ministry of Defense. UFO question is a highly sensitive question in France with
highly military involvement. What do you expect in this matter ? A Miracle ?
Sorry, to be so straight and destroy this fairy tale.

Second reaction of Bozidar Kemic: Of
course, the ex French military auditors are certainly not the ´angels´. There
are priorities and there are interests... Maybe the awareness of critical
planetary issues will bring those people together. In the first place there
are issues of nuclear security (not only the military one but primarily the
problem of nuclear plants and potential planetary nuclear polution in the case
of worst scenario like the impact of a metheor) and sustainability of living
on this planet. In great measure
the UFO-phenomenon is linked to such issues. We need sustainable technologies
for energy generation and there is a need for cooperation of all the relevant
parties.
Thanks both Bernard
and Bozidar for their opinions. Bernard's inside knowledge is particulary
interesting especialy details how the first attempts of cooperation were going
in the early days and that is was a one-way stream of data. Thanks Bernard. It
will be interesesting to see what will came out of this latest
attempt.
Besides famous VSD
issue on COMETA I would also like to recommend Bernard's special special VSD
issue OVNIS, nouvelles évidences from July 2000 that I
have.
On pages 10-19 there is
a big reportage on CEFAA with general Bermudez and Gustavo Rodriguez. I think
this was the first big expose on CEFAA that I ever saw in western
media.
Charles
Hickson is the only Abductee that Johnny Carson ever booked on The Tonight Show.
Like many people in America, he was shocked by the story of the Pascagoula Alien
Abductions and the unbelievable aftermath. Dr J. Allen Hynek and investigated
this case which began in 1973 when Charlie Hickson and Calvin Parker were taken
aboard a UFO by robotic creatures. After the story was reported to a local law
enforcement official, the U.S. Military got involved and their response was as
bizarre and troubling as the actual event. Here is your opportunity to view this
case through the eyes of those involved as we examine most baffling Alien
Abduction ever investigated. This presentation includes an exclusive interview
with Charlie Hickson, Charlie's own presentation about the event and interviews
with his children, a documentary about the case, an extremely rare interview
with Calvin Parker, interviews with Stanton Friedman (UFO Researcher), Leonard
Stringfield (UFO Crash Retrieval Researcher), Dr James Harder (Alien Abductions
Researcher), Donald Schmitt (Author and CUFOS Spokesperson), Bill Clendenin
(U.S. Navy Ship Identification and Classification), Betty Hill (Abductee), Dr
Ted Peters (UFOs and Religion Researcher), and much more! 95 minutes of stunning
material.

Todd writes, I wouldn't worry about a failed
anti-missile defense system. It's a joke actually. No nuke would be allowed to
go off in the first place and we have scaler technology now. Nukes are obsolete
and can 100% eliminated with the new technologies. The primitive devices are
just for show and for someone to make money developing that which is no longer
needed. This reminds me of the Mars mission. We've been there for many years now
and they pretend we are still working to achieve a Mars landing.
LOL
Very neat things can be done if one "nests" several Tesla
shields say three or fourconcentrically, one inside the other. In that case
even the nuclear radiation (such as gamma rays) from a defense-suppressive high
altitude nuclear burst can be handled. 
San Leandro -- While sitting in my
kitchen at 11:30 pm, I saw a bright light hovering over the Half Moon Bay
Mountains for about 30 minutes +
Palm Bay -- I was at my friends house in
Palm Bay watching the fireworks on July 4th, 2013. We were talking
about UFOs, aliens, and life on other planets. All of the sudden I look over to
see a yellowish/reddish orange orb! I first noticed the object because of its
unusual size, glow, and the way it moved across the sky. I quickly busted out my
Droid Razr phone, and took a video of the orb as it moved to the NW, low and
slow.
Belleville -- I saw four
consecutive red lights in the sky near the border of Freeburg, IL. They were in
an Orions Belt kind of formation. It was about 9:09 PM, on July 4, 2013. Two of
the most northern lights moved with incredible speed went from their frozen
state in the sky to the west about two miles and came back to the same spot.
South Bend -- I live about four miles
north of downtown and at 10:15 pm on July 13 2013, I looked out of my living
room window to the south and saw a red/orange object going to west. It was twice
the size of the brightest star. I saw two of them and filmed them until they
went behind my neighbors trees. I saw that there were three more coming into
view and I filmed them as well. When I zoomed into the last one it changed
colors rapidly. They were all traveling at the same speed in a minute to a
minute and a half. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Clinton -- The evening of July 3, 2013, at
10:30 pm, I took the following photos. I was able to follow the UFO, observe it,
and take these photos all at the same time. I first saw the UFO while I was in
the parking lot at Wal-Mart which is six miles east of Blanford where I live.
The object moved east and changed color from white to orange. The sky had grown
darker that might account for the color change. The thing kept going east until
out of sight. The last three photos are blurry from being enlarged. Take care.
Richard. 
St. Louis On July 4,
2013, I was watching the fireworks at the Arch Grounds and took two pictures of
the Arch. The first picture was normal, but the second had a grey line in the
middle. I zoomed in a noticed it looked like a UFO.
MOUNT ORAB -- I was outside doing yard work on July 12,
2013, when a helicopter approached from the south at 1 pm-. It was a military
Blackhawk with no observable markings, traveling at high elevation and speed.
Despite the altitude, the engine noise was very loud, which led me to believe it
was at full throttle and traveling behind it were three dark objects. I first
thought they were birds due to their small size and erratic movements but it
became apparent they were at similar elevation and speed. 
SEASIDE --I saw a big orange ball
floating up then stopping and heading east on July 4, 2013, at 11 PM. My friend
got a very up close and personal video. 
Leander I was visiting my sons grave
and took a photo of white and black objects in the sky over the Bagdad Cemetery.
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia On June5, 2013,
I was taking pictures of a bird and noticed first orb like glow but while going
through the rest of the photos I noticed something different color and shape
than what I had seen. I am now submitting both photos together and zoomed in so
you can decide what they are. Thanks to MUFON CMS
LIVERPOOL -- Have just tried to share
this video mine, of six alien craft, going west past me, very close and
silently. I wanted to share with Filers Files a UFO site run by an ex-USAF
Major. To see go to Robert Newton, scroll to SDV_0187. MP4, on Robert
