What
about building 7? A social psychological study of online discussion of 9/11
conspiracy theories
Recent research into the psychology of conspiracy belief has highlighted the
importance of belief systems in the acceptance or rejection of conspiracy
theories. We examined a large sample of conspiracist (pro-conspiracy-theory) and
conventionalist (anti-conspiracy-theory) comments on news websites in order to
investigate the relative importance of promoting alternative explanations vs.
rejecting conventional explanations for events. In accordance with our
hypotheses, we found that conspiracist commenters were more likely to argue
against the opposing interpretation and less likely to argue in favor of their
own interpretation, while the opposite was true of conventionalist commenters.
However, conspiracist comments were more likely to explicitly put forward an
account than conventionalist comments were. In addition, conspiracists were more
likely to express mistrust and made more positive and fewer negative references
to other conspiracy theories. The data also indicate that conspiracists were
largely unwilling to apply the conspiracy theory label to their own beliefs
and objected when others did so, lending support to the long-held suggestion
that conspiracy belief carries a social stigma. Finally, conventionalist
arguments tended to have a more hostile tone. These tendencies in persuasive
communication can be understood as a reflection of an underlying conspiracist
worldview in which the details of individual conspiracy theories are less
important than a generalized rejection of official explanations.
The Internet was made for conspiracy theory: it is a conspiracy theory: one
thing leads to another, always another link leading you deeper into no thing and
no place.
Conspiracy theories, defined as allegations that powerful people or
organizations are plotting together in secret to achieve sinister ends through
deception of the public (Abalakina-Paap et al.,1999;
Wood et al.,2012), have long been an important element of
popular discourse. With the advent of the Internet, they have become more
visible than ever. Although the psychological literature on conspiracy belief
has a relatively short history, with most of the relevant research having been
conducted only within the past twenty years, it has revealed a great deal
regarding individual differences between those who generally believe conspiracy
theories (whom we call conspiracists) and those who prefer conventional
explanations (whom we call conventionalists). Conspiracy beliefs have been
shown to be positively correlated with mistrust of other people (Goertzel,1994)
and authorities (Swami et al.,2010); feelings of powerlessness and low
self-esteem (Abalakina-Paap et al.,1999);
superstition, beliefs in the paranormal, and schizotypy (Darwin et al.,2011); a
perceived lack of control (Hamsher et al.,1968;
Whitson and Galinsky,2008); a Machiavellian approach to social
interaction (Douglas and Sutton,2011); and openness to experience (Swami et
al.,2010; but see Swami et al.,2011).
At the present time, questionnaire-based investigations of individual
differences make up the bulk of the existing research, although experimental
approaches are emerging (e.g., Douglas and Sutton,2008;
Jolley and Douglas,2013). A fairly recent development in the field
has been an acknowledgement that in addition to trait-like variables and
transient psychological states, ideologies and broad belief systems play a
substantial role in conspiracy theory belief. For example, in an examination of
conspiracy theories regarding an alleged cover-up of the divinity of Mary
Magdalene and the bloodline of Christ, Newheiser et al. (2011) demonstrated that the plausibility of these
theories hinged largely on broader beliefs about the world. People with
traditional Christian beliefs were likely to reject such theories out of hand,
while those with a more New Age approach were much more receptive. In a similar
vein, Lewandowsky et al. (2013b)
demonstrated that rejection of climate science (though not explicitly
conspiracist) is determined in part by ideological concerns, with libertarian
free-market ideology, apparently predisposing people to believe that
anthropogenic global warming is an unscientific hoax. It is clear, then, that
individual conspiracy theories or related counter-normative explanations can
seem more or less likely depending on how they comport with other beliefs held
by the audience.
Some researchers have gone further, proposing the existence of a conspiracist
worldviewa belief system conducive to conspiracy beliefs in general (e.g.,
Goertzel,1994; Swami et al.,2010;
Wood et al.,2012). This proposal stems primarily from the
finding that beliefs in unrelated conspiracy theories tend to intercorrelate:
for example, someone who believes that Princess Diana was deliberately
assassinated is also more likely to believe that the moon landing was a hoax.
Indeed, Wood et al. (2012) demonstrated that
even beliefs in directly contradictory conspiracy theories were positively
correlated with one another, indicating that conspiracy beliefs may be held
together not by direct agreement with one another, but by mutual agreement with
higher-order beliefs about the world. One particularly important element of the
conspiracist worldview is thought to be a generalized opposition to official or
received narratives. In this view, conspiracy belief is not about believing in
particular alternative theories, but in disbelieving in whatever the official
story is. This tendency has been informally noted by Dean (2002), who described most conspiracy theories as
bits and pieces without a plot [that] fail to delineate any conspiracy at all.
They simply counter conventional narratives with suspicions and allegations
that, more often than not, resist coherent emplotment (p. 92). Likewise, Clarke
(2007) observed that conspiracy theories are
often extremely vague, particularly in the Internet age.
If this is the case, then for people who hold a conspiracist worldview, the
specifics of a conspiracy theory are less important than its identity as a
conspiracy and its opposition to the official explanation. The important element
is that those in power are lying and cannot be trusted, and that they are
covering up something sinister. Opposition to officialdom, in this sense,
parallels the generalized prejudice that Adorno et al. (1950) found to be strong enough to overcome
contradictions between different anti-Jewish stereotypes. More than being a
specific belief that Jews are overly secretive or overly intrusive,
anti-Semitism appears to be more of a general belief that Jews are generally
unpleasant people. Likewise, conspiracy theory belief appears to be more of a
negative belief than a positive oneit is more concerned with saying what the
cause of a condition or event wasnot(i.e., whatever the official explanation is)
than with putting forward a specific alternative account.
An opportunity to test this idea presents itself in the form of observation
of online discourse. In spite of, or perhaps because of, the lack of mainstream
public acceptance for their theories, many conspiracists, both prominent and
otherwise, appear to see themselves as having a duty to spread their views to
the public at large. They often exhort the unthinking masses to wake up (e.g.,
Crane,2008; Byers,2009;
Icke,2012). This is a reasonable reaction: given a
belief that people's lives are being manipulated by malevolent forces beyond
their control, most would probably agree that trying to spread the word about
that fact is a good idea. Outspoken conventionalists, such as those in the
skeptic movement (e.g., Randi,1982; Sagan,1995;
Shermer,1997; Novella,2009),
find most conspiracy theories to be misguided at best and destructive at worst,
and so make a point of arguing against them in the public sphere.
This discussion is voluminous and highly visible in many arenas, perhaps none
more so than news website comment sections. Articles about topics for which
popular conspiracy theories exist, such as 9/11, the moon landing, and vaccines,
can have tens of thousands of comments, most of which are devoted to advancing
or refuting allegations of conspiracy. These comments are often archived along
with the associated articles for months or years afterward, which provides an
excellent opportunity for archival research to give some insight into the
thoughts and beliefs of those writing them (e.g., Fat et al.,2012;
Loke,2012; Sisask et al.,2012).
The present study consists of an examination of a large number of conspiracy
theory-related persuasive comments on news stories. Such analysis of online
discourse as a method of examining psychological states has increased in
prominence as the Internet has become a more popular place to discuss one's
ideas. The subject and pace of online discussion has been shown to be a more or
less reliable barometer of public concern over social issues (Roberts et
al.,2002; Scharkow and Vogelgesang,2011),
and emotional reactions expressed online can be used to consistently predict
political approval ratings (Gonzalez-Bailon et al.,2012).
Quantitative analysis of online discussion has also been used to gain insight
into the social psychology of groups with fringe views (Douglas et al.,2005),
attitudes toward Tourette's Syndrome (Fat et al.,2012),
and racial views (Loke,2012). Qualitative research on online discourse
has been more common, including a study demonstrating the evolution of
conspiracy theories over time in response to evidence (Lewandowsky et al.,2013a).
In the context of conspiracy theories in particular, there are several
advantages to content analysis of online commentary. The self-selective nature
of online communication allows for the collection of a great deal of data
regarding opinions that may be held by only a minority of people; moreover, the
degree of anonymity facilitates the honest expression of opinions that might not
be held in high social esteem elsewhere (e.g., Douglas et al.,2005;
Loke,2012).
There are some caveats associated with analyzing persuasive comments in
particular. While external validity may benefit from observing behavior in a
naturalistic setting, there is some degree of uncertainty regarding the internal
validity of any conclusions drawn from such methods. Most obviously, there is
the issue of to what degree the content of persuasive communications reflects
the properties of the author rather than the demands of the situation. Rather
than faithful representations of internal psychological processes, commenters'
methods of argumentation might instead reflect strategic considerations
regarding the audience, the venue, and the subject matter. While
self-presentation is very often a concern in psychological research, even in
laboratory settings, such demands may be especially salient in a situation where
one's goal is implicitly (or even explicitly) to persuade others rather than to
provide an honest and straightforward account of one's beliefs. Indeed, some
research has shown that people do adapt their persuasive techniques according to
their knowledge of the audience and the subject (Friestad and Wright,1999;
Douglas et al.,2010; Vogel et al.,2010).
The question of whether we can expect persuasive communication to accurately
reflect inner psychological processes is not easily answerable, as the effect of
lay persuasive knowledge on generation of persuasive arguments is fairly sparse.
While there is a substantial body of research on lay persuasive knowledge, the
vast majority of it focuses instead on how such knowledge affects susceptibility
to the persuasive messages of others. However, it is well-established that
people tend to rely heavily on projection for predicting others' behaviorthat
is, they use themselves as a model for prediction. This effect is especially
strong when relatively little is known about the target [for a review, see
Robbins and Krueger (2005)]. In general,
then, it is likely that persuaders use the self as a model for argument
generation: in other words, they argue in a way that they would themselves find
convincing. This, in turn, suggests that the types of arguments used by
persuaders can contain information relevant to understanding how they think
about the issue at hand.
The tendency to use social projection is especially relevant in online
settings. Much online discussion is either fully anonymous or conducted under
pseudonyms, greatly limiting the amount of information available about the other
party in a discussion. As such, we assume for the purposes of the present study
that people will generally tend to use arguments that they themselves would find
most convincing were they the audience rather than the persuader. This, in turn,
should reflect the structure of their belief systemsthe arguments that people
find most convincing are those that match up with how they view the world
(Darwin et al.,2011; Newheiser et al.,2011;
Wood et al.,2012; Lewandowsky et al.,2013b).
To that end, we systematically coded and analyzed conspiracist and
conventionalist persuasive comments from four major news websites on articles
relating to 9/11 from the period of July 1st through December 31st, 2011,
encompassing the months surrounding the tenth anniversary of the attacks.
9/11 conspiracy theories provide an excellent research subject for several
reasons. First, the community associated with these theories, known as the 9/11
Truth Movement, is noted for its substantial online presence and focus on
Internet proselytizing. Bartlett and Miller (2011) observed that the movement's mass
membership backbone (p. 45) devotes a substantial amount of time to producing
large numbers of online comments, and Clarke (2007) saw the Truth Movement as a paradigmatic
example of Internet conspiracy culture. Second, the timing was fortuitous, with
the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, sure to herald a number of stories on
the subject and therefore many relevant comments, having occurred shortly before
data collection commenced. The recency of the materials lowered the probability
of comments having been expunged from archives or lost as an unintended
consequence of comment software upgrades. Third, just as the Truth Movement has
a substantial online presence, so too do its conventionalist opponents in the
skeptic movement. We therefore expected that there would be a good deal of
debate between the two sides, providing further raw materials for analysis.
Finally, the Truth Movement is a well-established community with a substantial
intellectual output, including popular books (e.g., Griffin,2004),
conference circuits, several sub-organizations such as Architects and Engineers
for 9/11 Truth, and at least one peer-reviewed journal, theJournal of 9/11 Studies.There is substantial debate within the Truth
Movement regarding whether 9/11 was a controlled demolition, a deliberate
intelligence failure, or even the result of exotic space-based weaponry
(Barber,2008). In short, its body of work is varied,
voluminous, and well-developed, and should therefore be able to provide a wide
range of different arguments for analysis.
If our reasoning regarding the influence of projection on persuasive tactics
holds, we should see systematic differences in the characteristics of
conspiracist and conventionalist arguments. Specifically, we should be able to
replicate earlier results demonstrating that unrelated conspiracy beliefs are
intercorrelated (e.g., Goertzel,1994; Swami et al.,2010;
Wood et al.,2012)in this case, conspiracist comments should
contain more positive (and fewer negative) references to unrelated conspiracy
theories compared with conventionalist comments. Examining a long-standing
correlate of conspiracy belief, we also investigated the degree to which
comments contained explicit expressions of mistrust, predicting that
conspiracist comments would be more likely to express mistrust of authorities or
other targets than conventionalist comments (e.g., Wright and Arbuthnot,1974;
Simmons and Parsons,2005). Further, we examined expressions of
powerlessness, and predicted that conspiracist comments would express more
concerns about power, as feelings of powerlessness have been shown to correlate
reliably with conspiracy theory belief (Abalakina-Paap et al.,1999).
Replicating the previously established relationships between conspiracy beliefs,
trust, and power would increase confidence in the present study's methods and
help to justify any novel results derived therefrom.
In addition to verifying the utility of this archival approach by replicating
previous results, we made several novel predictions. First, if we are correct in
our contention that much of the conspiracist worldview is based on a generalized
rejection of official explanations rather than on positing particular
alternative narratives, conspiracist comments should focus on refuting
conventional explanations more than on presenting or supporting specific
conspiracy theories. Therefore, conspiracist comments, relative to
conventionalist comments, should be more likely to derogate rival explanations
and less likely to promote their own. Second, we elected to examine the veracity
of the long-held contention that conspiracy theory and conspiracy theorist
carry an intellectual stigma (e.g., Bratich,2002,2008;
Coady,2006). If this is true, people should be unwilling
to apply the term to themselves and should object when others do so. As such, we
predicted that conspiracists would avoid applying the term conspiracy theory
to their own beliefs (or conspiracy theorists to themselves), and would
attempt to dispute others' usage of the term. While this might seem an obvious
predictionand indeed many authors take it as a given that the term is
stigmatizedto our knowledge there have not yet been any empirical
investigations of this contention.
Finally, another possible avenue by which the spread of conspiracy theories
could be fruitfully understood is social influence theory (Latané,1981).
Since 9/11 conspiracy theories are (at least in the West) an opinion held by a
vocal minority attempting to effect change, social influence theory
(Latané,1981) would predict that conventionalists, if they
are good majority influencers, are more likely to show patterns consistent with
normative social influence. In particular, Bratich (2008) has highlighted the hostility of
intellectual orthodoxy toward conspiracist explanations for events and the
labelling of conspiracists as paranoid or otherwise mentally ill (c.f.
Hofstadter,1964; Kalichman et al.,2010).
At the same time, conspiracists are often hostile in a different way, dismissing
conventionalists as naïve, gullible, and either unwitting dupes or willing
stooges of the conspiracy (Crane,2008; Byford,2011).
Therefore, we examined the hostility of each persuasive comment, whether
characterized by outright insults, threats, dismissive sarcasm, accusations of
complicity, or other hostile or insulting content.

Hi all:
It is my opinion as a close observer that these
students are most likely seeing things too much in black and white and are
speaking from total ignorance, probably as a consequence of continued inaccurate
media reporting over the years. Not every NSA guy is evil or a liar. Most of
them just do their delicate jobs as best as they can. Because of the highly
sensitive nature of their jobs they are bound by secrecy laws to prevent them
from disclosing classified information, so they have to be damned careful what
they say and how they paraphrase it when talking to outsiders which are
strangers to them and hence potential adversaries. One never knows what the
intentions of any of these students might be. I
assume the NSA by its very nature is usually forced to misdirect by deliberate
disinformation and fabrication to conceal very sensitive (operational) secrets
and to protect the effectiveness of their secret operations. However, the
question is how far they are allowed to go. Are they (or any other government
agency/government contractors) e.g. allowed to intentionally misdirect the
public, the media and science in matters of utmost importance to all of
humanity, viz. the possible visitation of non-human intelligences to Earth in
the event that they have been aware that this is the case? Maybe they are
allowed to do so because of global security issues we are unaware of? Maybe the
expression the pot calling the kettle black also applies to the students: How
accurate are these taped conversations? Maybe they have been distorted in such a
way to inflict harm for whatever reason or to add fuel to the existing
conspiracy debates re the NSA. There is of course no way of
knowing.
I
hope I have been clear in expressing my personal opinion in English. As always,
my personal analyses could be wrong. So be it!
When NSA recruiters went to the University of Wisconsin
earlier this week to pitch language students on working for the agency, they got
more than they bargained for.
The informed students turned the
question-and-answer session into a hearing. On trial were the NSA's lies, their
legality, and how they define "adversary".
The students recorded audio of
the exchange on an iPhone proving that the language-analyst NSA recruiters were
left tongue-tied.
"I'm surprised that for language analysts you're
incredibly imprecise with your language," grad student Madiha Tahir charged when they failed to define what
constitutes an adversary.
"What you're selling us is untrue" she added.
"We also know that the NSA took down brochures and fact sheets after the Snowden
revelations because those fact sheets had severe inaccuracies and untruths in
them -- so how are we supposed to believe what you're saying?"
Another student directly challenged the NSA's morality
for using the "globe as their playground" and then partying at the office with
co-workers. She then challenges them to become whistleblowers because the truth
will ultimately prevail.
"Given the fact that we have been lied to as Americans, given the
fact that fact sheets have been pulled down because they clearly had untruths in
them, given the fact that Clapper and Alexander lied to Congress...Is being a
good liar a qualification to work for the NSA?" Tahir asks.
These young
students forced the NSA recruiters to claim, in a seemingly desperate defense,
that they were not actually there "representing the NSA as an
agency."
Clearly the people have questions that aren't being addressed by
their representatives, and a much larger debate is needed. However, it'd be
much more productive if these kids get to question the NSA leadership instead of
our blackmailed politicians. Listen to the whole exchange

and his light aircraft disappeared without a trace from the skies above southern
Australia in 1978. His final words, describing his terrifying encounter: its
above me and its not an aircraft; then a mysterious metallic sound. After this
moment Valentich and his plane were never seen again. Is this evidence of UFO
contact? In a TV first we hear the actual audio of Valentichs final moments
(at
about 20:36: Dr. Richard Haines from Narcap)
In
1942 Nikola Tesla, director of the Philadelphia Experiment since 1934,
deliberately sabotaged a Navy project for invisibility for use on warships
because he couldn't bear the burden of the loss of life it would bring. They
proved by 1940 they could produce invisibility. He really did care about
humanity more than himself. I love studying the life of Tesla. I learn something
new every day. Project Rainbow and others.. Not myth. Here is a man who was
there speaking about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA_FEyxekOc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
The Filer Research Institute feels 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 and to help the unawakened. The
Institute now provides advanced research and consultation on a wide range of
subjects and help for CEOs to successfully run their companies.

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.

Special
Reports
Doctor and Colonel Jesse Marcel Jr.s Life on Earth Has
Ended
It is with a sad heart that I have to break this bad news to the
world. At the age of 76 my Dad, Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr.s life on earth has
ended on August 25, 2013. He was alone and apparently
had a heart attack. Although it is a very sad time for our entire family I am
happy to know that he lived an eventful life. I am so proud to be his daughter.
He had taught me so many things in life and one of the more important things I
learned from my Dad was to never back down in the face of
adversity. Thanks to Michael
Reiche writes, Jesse was a giant to many of us, a modest man
whose father, Major Jesse Marcel, Sr., was the Roswell Army Air Field base
Intelligence officer, the first to reach and examine the Roswell crash debris
field. Jesse never once backed down in his all-too-credible account of his
father's showing him debris from the crash, and always honored and defended his
father's honor, credibility and memory. Thanks to Peter
Robbins
Editors Note: My wife and I had lunch with Jesse at the
Citizens Hearing on Disclosure in Washington DC at the National Press Club on
May 2, 2013. He told me he was very proud of his father who was an exceptionally
honorable man and had brought home extraterrestrial debris from a crashed UFO in
July of 1947, for his Mother and him to see. He had held the metal pieces in his
hand and they all knew the material was not from Earth based on the
hieroglyphics, light weight, and strength of the metal.
He told me about his serving in 18 months Iraq as an Army Colonel as a
medical doctor flight surgeon, and his frequent flights in the 189th Attack
Helicopter Battalion flying 225 hours of combat. He seemed full of life and
proud of his accomplishments and was positive the government had chosen to keep
alien visitation a secret.
Jesse Marcel Jr. is a retired, full-bird Colonel, who spent 38 years serving
his country with honor and loyalty but assured me he personally held part of an
alien UFO. Marcel attended the Louisiana State University School of Medicine at
New Orleans, graduating in July of 1961, earning a degree in medicine. He became
a specialist in ear, nose and throat medicine. During his career in the National
Guard, he was appointed State Surgeon of the State of Montana and retired from
the military a second time in August of 1996 on his 60th birthday. The Iraqi war
required him to be called back to active duty in October of 2004 shortly after
his 68th birthday for an 18 month tour in Iraq.
He is survived by his wife Linda, his children Jesse Jr., Michael, John,
Marissa, Mackenzie, Aimee, Ashley and Mark and all of his grandchildren.
Although Jessie and his father are no longer with us, the Roswell Legacy will
live on FOREVER and I will always miss him!
Lord Hill Norton says- Extraterrestrial Vehicles and Their Crews
Are Visiting Earth
Chief of Defense Staff, Ministry of Defense, Great Britain,
1973; Chairman, Military Committee of NATO, 1974-77;
I believe that these extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews
are visiting this planet from other planets which obviously are a little more
technically advanced than we are here on Earth. I feel that we need to have a
top level, coordinated program to scientifically collect and analyze data from
all over the earth concerning any type of encounter, and to determine how best
to interface with these visitors in a friendly fashion.... For many years I have
lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists and astronauts. I
can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects
of form and composition unknown to us. And there are thousands of witness
reports and a quantity of documents to prove this, but nobody wants to make them
public. Quoted from his foreword of one of my favorite books;
Above Top Secret by Timothy Good, Morrow & Co's
Quill Books, 1988.
Tom Sutter writes,
Microwaves are created within a device we call a magnetron. Don't
let that complicated sounding name intimidate you. A magnitron is a simple,
straightforward device. It forces electrons to go from a negative terminal to a
positive terminal whilst passing through a magnetic field. When
electrons encounter magnetic line of force, they rotate (spin) around that line
of force before proceeding toward the positive terminal that they are traveling
to. That electron/magnetic interaction results in the creation of microwave
energies.
WHY would advanced societies bother to show us how a magnetron works since we
already know about it? I'll tell you why. It is because of an overlooked-by-us
usage of microwave energies. At a specific frequency at about 27 GHZ -
Microwaves 'shake-up' a water molecule to the point where that molecule splits
into its constituent parts. Namely, hydrogen and oxygen.
Whereupon, at that high rate of agitation, they promptly rejoin once again to
form the water molecule that was just split. And guess what? - the process
repeats! Because the 3.3 volts of electrical energy emitted when the hydrogen
and oxygen atoms combine is raised via the incorporation of a circuitry
consisting of huge capacitors and diodes and then fed back into the magnetron's
central mesh of high temperature, non magnetic, insulated wires, where the
hydrogen/oxygen are combining/splitting.
Bluntly, they are telling us that our primary means of creating needed
energies namely oil, isnt quite the way Thanks to Tom Sutterhttp://www.informantnews.com/crop/
New Jersey Suns Flames
Burlington-- The photo
was taken August 20, 2013, at sunset. A quiet evening was broken by banging on
Barbs
door. Dona yelled, "Come out, come out. The suns on
firebring your camera." And there it
was. The most amazing sight I have ever seen. It appeared as if "flames" were
jumping off the sun. Barb took photo with her Olympus camera. The neighborhood
knows of that smoke stack but has never seen this effect before.
Engineers at Verizon have told me they expect to lose more satellites due to
severe solar storms over the next 16 months. They've already lost two satellites
so far this year. A meeting a year and half ago in Brussels reported that tidal
waves are expected to migrate inland for some five miles from current levels!
Thanks to Frank Chille.
Note: A large solar eruption, known as a coronal mass ejection (CME),
occurred at 4:24 a.m. EDT October 20, and blasted billions of tons of solar
particles toward Earth at 2 million mph that may have been captured. Perhaps the
chimney released heat that caused the sun to shimmer.
Astronaut Chris Cassidy Saw UFO
"On Monday morning, on August 19, 2013, some
220 miles above the Earth, NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy looked out the window to
see a mysterious object drifting by.
Cassidy reached out to Mission Control about the strange item,
which was drifting lazily in the emptiness of space." Astronaut
Chris Cassidy looked out the window of the International Space Station and saw a
mysterious object drifting by. Cassidy immediately reached out to Mission
Control: Houston, we`ve got a UFO!
The UFO has been identified by Russian flight controllers as an antenna cover
from the Zvezda service module. Yep, even solid citizens see UFO`s, but there`s
always a rational and sometimes mundane explanation. Snip
Houston -- Charlette writes, I read your emails
and I decided to share a story about something that happened to me, which is
different than most UFO reports. At 9:30 pm, two days after hurricane Ike hit
Texas in 08. I think Ike hit on Sept 12th and this happened on
the14th. Well, to the story, I went to my daughters house a day
after the storm when we lost power. At 9 pm everyone went to bed and I slept on
an air mattress on the floor. She had just had her first baby in August and this
would be the first time my granddaughter and I were under the same roof at the
same time. By 9:30 everyone was asleep and out of thin air this round black
rubix cube appeared, divided like how the ley lines are laid out over the Earth.
It was about 6 to 8 inches round and was about 6 feet off the ground,
illuminating an inch around it. There was a very dim light in the center of each
of 4 or 5 sections. I was excited about seeing it, but truly blown away that
something like that would appear in front of me. My intensions were to get up
and go to it and look more for another light source that could be creating it.
It did not look holographic, it looked solid, like it could have been a toy.
I lay down on the sofa and woke up the next morning. Now, I can just fathom
the thought of something that could break down the molecular structure of matter
in such a way that it could reconstruct it's self inside ones home. I actually
saw it, plain as day. That morning I jerked myself up off the sofa just to
realize what had happened. I finally told my daughter later that day when she
came home from work due to the fact I had to reassure myself I did not imagine
it...it was what I saw. Now you have to understand that I have raised my 2
children (now 36 and 42) to know about thing like ufo's and other anomalies and
to believe that things like this are real.
I told my daughter about the sighting, and we had a UFO sighting when she was
4 years old BUT she did not accept .Mom, I believe that you believe what you saw
was real. Then in my search for answers I came across you and your site and read
and research some of the things you report. I guess what I'm asking is, if you
have ever heard of such a thing in all your reports? Thanks to Charlette.
Note: The sightings of small flying objects inside peoples homes are often
reported. Some abductees feel they are reconnaissance vehicles and some claim
they even transform into entities.
Fukushima Hot Spots
Fukushima nuclear plant said on Thursday new spots of high
radiation had been found near storage tanks holding highly contaminated water
that has been pumped through the reactors to keep fuel in the melted cores from
overheating. There are 350 bolted-style tanks in place and another 710 welded
tanks.
The bolted tanks were sealed with resin but some are leaking. Tokyo Electric
Power Co said, Some bolted tanks have failed, leaking 300 tons of
highly radioactive water each day that may have seeped into the Pacific
Ocean.
A tsunami crashed into the Fukushima Daiichi power plant north of Tokyo on
March 11, 2011, causing fuel-rod meltdowns at three reactors, radioactive
contamination triggering the evacuation of 160,000 people. It was the world's
worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986 and no one seems to know how to
bring the crisis to an end. Japan is calling for help.
US Response to Syrias Chemical Attack
The Obama administration tried to bolster its case for
possible military action against Syria within days, with intelligence agencies
preparing to release intercepted communications aimed at proving President Assad
perpetrated a large-scale chemical weapons attack on its civilians near
Damascus.
There is a strong possibility that Al Qaeda actually used the chemical
weapons in an effort to get the West to help in the fight against Assad, who has
strongly denied the attack. Al Qaeda has the most to gain and has shown a
willingness to kill innocent people to further their goal of taking over the
Syrian government and to rule the Sunni religious majority.
The US Navy is setting up off the coast. Red areas are Government controlled
while blue is held by the rebels. Syrian air bases would likely be attacked.
NASA Telescope will Search for Asteroids
CAPE
CANAVERAL -- NASA
will reactivate a mothballed infrared space telescope for a three-year mission
to search for potentially dangerous asteroids on a collision course with Earth
starting in October. The Wide-field
Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, telescope also will hunt for targets for
a future mission to send a spacecraft to rendezvous with an asteroid.
Launched in December 2009, the WISE telescope spent 13 months scouting for
telltale infrared signs of asteroids, stars, and distant galaxies. WISE observed
more than 34,000 asteroids in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter
and another 135 asteroids in orbits that come close to Earth. Overall,
scientists cataloged more than 560 million objects with WISE. The telescopes
instruments were turned off when its primary mission was completed in February
2011.
NASAs Jet
Propulsion Laboratory already has found about 95 percent of the near-Earth
asteroids that are .62 miles (1 km) or larger in diameter. The agency is
about halfway through a 15-year effort to find 90 percent of all near-Earth
objects that are as small as about 459 feet (140 meters) in diameter.
The search took on a note of urgency after a small asteroid blasted through
the skies above Chelyabinsk,
Russia, in February 2013 and exploded with 20- to 30 times the force of the
Hiroshima atomic bomb. More than 1,500 people were injured. The events prompted
Congressional hearings to step up asteroid detection initiatives and to double
NASAs $20 million Near-Earth Objects detection programs.
About 66 million years ago, an object 6 miles (10 km) in diameter smashed
into what is now the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, leading to the demise of the
dinosaurs, as well as most plant and animal life on Earth.
