Four-legged, DARPA-funded, running war robot unveiled (VIDEO)
Four-legged, DARPA-funded, running war robot unveiled (VIDEO)
Developers at Boston Dynamics, an engineering company specializing in robotics, have released video of an untethered robot capable of standing and mobilizing on its own.
WildCat is a four-legged outdoor runner capable of rising, turning, and reaching running speeds up to 16 mph on flat ground.
WildCat is a close cousin to Boston Dynamics Cheetah, another quadrupedal robot that was unveiled a year ago, running at speeds over 28 mph on a treadmill - quicker than worlds fastest man Usain Bolt's top speed of 27.78 mph. However, unlike WildCat, Cheetah was connected to a power source.
The runner carries a large - and very loud - motor to operate its four limbs, though the weight hampers its speed and agility.
Boston Dynamics has not detailed what is next for WildCat, but it is known to have been developed for military use, as the project is part of the Maximum Mobility and Manipulation Program funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA.

Lunar Bases? Photos Show Rectangular Structures On The Moon, Believed To Be Buildings By UFO Researchers
Lunar Bases? Photos Show Rectangular Structures On The Moon, Believed To Be Buildings By UFO Researchers
Friday, October 4, 2013 20:41
This structure seems to show a highly reflective object with a lot of straight lines and right angles.
This would indicate that because of the structures artificial appearance and how much it stands out from its environment, that it is indeed an alien structure on our moon says UFO Sightings Daily author Scott C. Waring.
Date of discovery: October 2013
Location of discovery: Crater Inghirami C, Earths Moon
NASA Employee Leaves Top Secret Photos Of Base On Moon On Desk While Press Takes Photo 2012.
PHOTO BELOW IS FROM NASA 2009 BOMBING OF THE MOON.
Date of discovery: March 2012 (although the photo if from 2009)
Location of sighting: Earths Moon
This building is located in the same crater that NASA sent a nuclear bomb to explode. This is in Cabius crater! Click here to view 2009 bombing of moon. Also the names of the scientists in the photo are Anthony Colaprete and Karen Gundy-Burlet working at the Ames Research Center.
Yes NASA did drop a small nuclear bomb on the moon in 2009, I personally watched it live on the internet with my students. Also the NASA Ames Research Center does get intel on such structures because one is being used by the USMC as an America base right now!
Hacker Gary Mckinnon confirmed this when he got into USAF and NASA computers.
Person discovering it states: Now thats a huge cat left out of NASAs bag. The smoking gun evidence that NASA knows about the presence of extraterrestrial bases on the Moon and ultimately bombed one these structures during the LRO/LCROSS mission in 2009, allegedly carried out to seek water in the crater Cabeus.
This building is now currently inhabited by us military personal that is why these young researchers (learning) are looking at it now.
Begin vorige maand werd boven het vliegveld van Düsseldorf een donker, langgerekt object vastgelegd. De sigaarvormige UFO bewoog langzaam door het beeld.
De beelden zijn gemaakt door een webcam van het vliegveld. Een woordvoerder van de luchthaven liet weten dat het object niet op de radar was verschenen.
Met een camera van een Amerikaanse nieuwszender werd begin vorige maand een driehoekig, pulserend object gefilmd boven de staat Nebraska.
De weerman van de zender liet weten nog nooit zoiets te hebben gezien. Hij zei dat het object 45 minuten zichtbaar was. Volgens de Amerikaanse luchtvaartautoriteit FAA is er op de dag van de waarneming geen ongewone activiteit in het luchtruim gemeld.
Afgelopen maand werden ook twee ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten gezien bij het internationale ruimtestation ISS van NASA. Deze en andere waarnemingen ziet u in onderstaande video.
This UFO was discovered in a NASA photo which was shared from
them to ASU (Arizona State University)...
Secret Space Craft Or UFO? Video This UFO was discovered in a NASA photo which was shared from them to ASU (Arizona State University) for research purposes. These photos seem to have less editing than the ones they post to the net for the public to see, says Scott C. Warng, author of UFO Sightings Daily
Warng says This UFO appears to be unique in the way that its unlike anything I have seen before other than the Apollo 20 UFO in Deporte crater yeah, I reported about Apollo 20 mission 6 years before the movie or book ever came out. I have about 400 New York best seller authors following me on Facebook so I guess one of them stole the idea.
Waring wrote a chapter about the Apollo 20 mission in his book UFO Sightings of 2006-2009, published back in 2009

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
by Nick Pope. Since the dawn of time, people have seen strange things in
the sky, but setting aside Biblical references to fiery chariots, and
Twentieth Century terms such as scareships, foo fighters, ghost rockets
and ghost aeroplanes, our story starts in 1947 with Kenneth Arnolds sighting
of nine strange objects over the Cascade Mountains in Washington State. When
describing the motion (not the shape, as is often believed), he said that they
moved in an odd, jerky way, like a saucer skipped across water. The media
adapted this quote into flying saucer and a modern mystery acquired a new
name. More...
UFOS: DO SOME OF THEM COME
FROM AN INNER EARTH "PARADISE"?by Sean Casteel. Do UFOs, or
flying saucers, originate from an Inner Earth Paradise? That may sound like its
kind of a stretch, but a selection of books from Tim Beckleys Global
Communications and Inner Light Publications make the argument that they most
certainly do, eschewing any beliefs that the mysterious visitors come from outer
space at all. More... Also

BEYOND AREA 51 AGAINby Nick Redfern. One of the biggest puzzles concerning secret
military-, government- and intelligence-based facilities is this: Why do so many
of these classified installations seemingly attract far more than their fair
share of UFOs? There are, I believe, several possibilities. The first is that if
the stories of crashed UFOs in the hands of officialdom are valid, then it may
be the case that what we are seeing in the skies above these bases are attempts
by military project personnel to test-fly captured UFOs. More...

MORE 1960s UFO INVASIONS OVER
OKLAHOMA by Doc Vega. During the volatile 1960s a burning
controversy that eclipsed civil rights issues, the radical challenge to the
establishment, and protests to the Vietnam War had loomed over the skies of the
United States. With the cold war era still in full swing and as much as the US
military tried to turn its back on the UFO phenomena, the more the presence of
an unknown mystery imposed its enigmatic presence. Even with the tongue and
cheek coverage of news services, and the suppression of the US Air Force in its
refusal to acknowledge an enduring paradox, sightings continued unabated without
any signs of slowing down in frequency. The unknown was here to stay whether
authorities wanted to acknowledge that maddening fact or not! More... Also read:

THE DAY OF THE DARSHANby Louis Hart. It is well known that the extraterrestrial hypothesis
(ETH) is among the most acceptable propositions with regard to the nature of the
UFO phenomenon. However, there are those who feel that it barely offers an
adequate explanation for certain aspects of the problem, such as the absence or
scant detection of the phenomenon in space with astronomic devices, which
contrasts with what occurs within our own atmosphere. More
SUNSET OF THE GOLDEN
DAWN by Peter Fotis Kapnistos. A martial obligation of the
House of Lords was to shield the British Crown from burden or blame. The entrée
of the Illuminati served a strategic goal in this state of affairs. For as the
Vatican had previously done, the recently picked lords and ladies could exploit
lower groups as human shields. Bavarian bankers and "collection-barons" could
unassumingly redirect all detrimental criticism to gypsies and Jews. Given
that a Germanic household had few misgivings about keeping the title of the
English monarchy, its well-to-do lineage could also provoke the uncertainties of
Semitic laypeople. More...Also

BOOK REVIEW: OPENING TO A NEW
REALITYby Warwick Associates . Humanity is on the verge of
enormous change. More than a paradigm shift, human consciousness is engaged in a
process of integration with a higher mind. The process is occurring through
encounters with non-ordinary reality that are known as high strangeness events.
What exactly are these events? They are incidents that defy the laws that govern
our physics and the expectation of our experience. They include interactions
with UFO, orbs of light, strange sounds, human and mysteriously made crop

Marc Cieslak investigates fighting fire in a virtual world
With "immersive media" taking content well beyond
the TV screen, new technology is attempting to move virtual reality towards
something even closer to real life.
Whether it be a cave, an igloo or a theatre, virtual reality is getting the
immersive experience, with sight, sound and smell.
Full 360-degree screens are now capable of taking audiences to a whole new
place. The companies pioneering this technology are hoping it will be close to a
literal experience.
In a specially designed room, images are projected in every angle, even on to
the ceiling so that those viewing are drawn into the illusion more fully than
just looking at a screen.
Current applications are wide-ranging but include education about space
travel, military training and acting as a tour guide around such sights as the
pyramids. There is also a huge potential for gaming.
Flight simulators have offered a similar idea for a while but a true
simulation cockpit costs about $20m (£13m) to purchase. It's still quite a way
from the home for most.
"When it's done well it's an incredibly immersive experience, profoundly
immersive," says Martin Howe, vice-president of tech company Global Immersion.
"It's like being there. In technology terms, it's just a giant computer... a
super computer.
"We're just at the start... we can put anything on the screen."
But with screens already being the way a vast majority of people consume
their information, what is so different about this?
'Suspend disbelief'
Visuals are wherever the person looks and even peripheral vision in a system
like this is seen as incredibly important.
"Imagine if you went through the world with sight blinders on and could only
see what's in front of you - how much of the world would you see?" says Mike
Hancock, of Mechdyne which produces the Cave system.
"If you just have that flat screen, then you're blinding your peripheral
vision so you don't get the information you would usually get, which your brain
processes whether you know it or not."
The thinking behind bigger screens operating in every angle is to suspend
disbelief for the time the people seeing it are there.
This would mean the psychological response is very similar to how it would be
in real life.
"The minute they are in a situation where they have got visuals all around
them, they feel like they are in that environment which is obviously far removed
from just looking at a flat screen in a normal room," says Colin Yellowley, MD
of Igloo Vision.
The Igloo is a steel-tubed framework covered in PVC and a 360-degree screen
powered by five HD projectors.
It offers large-scale simulation and a screen that draws you into the
experience because there is no chance to look away.
But people are still in a room without the ability to truly interact with
their surroundings in a natural way?
Firefighters using the system for training use a joystick to look around the
environment rather than physically moving through it.
But the benefits for them and other organisations using the devices are
heralded as an important progression.
"What it does is it brings things into a more realistic perspective," says
Neale Smiles, business director of military training company H4 Global.
"They can do things such as dangerous missions, bring things very close to
your own position - all of the things that they are not allowed to do in
peacetime using live munitions."
This is not just in vision. Military services have asked for smell and sound
to play a key part in the training, from recreating the smell of vomit or blood
to the noise of a helicopter landing close by.
It certainly is quite a way from a textbook and a white board.
Bullets 'around the room'
This technology is even creeping towards finding its way into the home. At
the recent CES conference, Microsoft showed off a proof-of-concept video that
expands games beyond the television screen.
Called the IllumiRoom, bullets fly through the room, environments appear off
screen using projections and a Kinect motion sensor monitors the position of the
user.
"[It] blur[s] the lines between on-screen content and the environment we live
in allowing us to combine our virtual and physical worlds," wrote
Microsoft.
Rumours have emerged online that this could be somehow related to the new
XBox console announcement. Microsoft will not say any more until further details
emerge in April.
A quoi ressemblent ces objets non identifiés,
laissent-ils des traces, et qu'en pensent les témoins de rencontres rapprochées
? Dans « OVNIS sur l'Hudson River », le Dr. J. Allen Hynek, Philip J. Imbrogno,
et Bob Pratt présentent toute une série de cas indiquant que nous ne serions pas
seuls dans l'Univers...
Les dernières classifications
sont les plus intéressantes. Elles concernent les rencontres rapprochées, qui,
entre autres choses, impliquent l'observation d'un objet non identifié très
proche.
Et ceci nous ramène à la nuit du 24 mars, où John Wright et les
deux adolescents virent l'ovni juste au-dessus de leurs têtes tandis que
plusieurs dizaines de personnes regardaient ces lumières depuis un restaurant
situé à environ deux cents mètres plus loin. « Je me trouvais près du mont
Storm, à Stormville, New York, avec deux enfants qui sont mes voisins », nous
raconta Wright, un ancien agent de police reconverti en surveillant
pénitentiaire pour le comté de Putnam. J'ai vu cette chose. Elle était en forme
de V et se trouvait à une soixantaine de mètres au-dessus de moi. Elle faisait
du surplace. « Je ne suis pas quelquun qui s'intéresse aux ovnis, ou à quoi
que ce soit de ce genre là. Je travaille, j'ai une famille, mais je n'avais
jamais rien vu de tel dans ma vie. Je n'en ai pas parlé à trop de monde car les
gens auraient pu penser que j'étais fou. » « Ce truc se trouvait simplement
là. Il n'émettait aucun bruit. Je suis descendu de ma Jeep et je l'ai regardé.
C'était comme quelque chose que l'on voit dans les films à la télé. J'ai pu le
voir de si près que j'ai aperçu de nombreuses lumières qui ressemblaient à des
hublots. J'ai pu regarder dans ces hublots, et il y avait toutes sortes de
lumières folles qui flashaient.»
Wright affirma que l'objet donnait
l'impression d'être une seule structure solide, comme quelque chose fabriqué
avec un jeu de construction. « J'ai vu toutes ces lumières, mais je n'ai pas
distingué leur source. J'ai vu toutes ces lumières flasher, à la manière du
flash d'un appareil photo. C'est difficile à décrire. A la façon dont les
lumières flashaient, on aurait dit que quelque chose se déplaçait. Les flashes
et les lumières donnaient l'impression de voir des hublots. » « Je pouvais
discerner différentes parties avec des flashes tout autour d'elles. C'était
comme si je regardais à travers une ouverture. Il y avait comme des tubes d'où
provenait la lumière. Les flashes de lumière parvenaient de l'intérieur de ces
tubes. » « L'ensemble était d'une couleur très sombre, et les lumières ne se
reflétaient pas vraiment sur l'objet. Même les lumières de la rue ne se
réfléchissaient pas dessus. Je ne voyais pas de pièces en mouvement, mais on
aurait dit que quelque chose se déplaçait et générait des ombres du fait des
lumières qui flashaient. Pendant sa phase de vol stationnaire, l'objet était
entièrement éclairé par des lumières blanches tout le long du V. Cela avait
durée vingt minutes, et puis je suis parti parce que les enfants ont commencé à
avoir peur et à crier. »
Ces jeunes personnes étaient un garçon de seize
ans prénommé Jack, et sa soeur Ellen, qui en avait treize. « Les enfants sont
restés dans la Jeep », déclara Wright. « Jack n'arrêtait pas de crier : qu'est
ce que c'est ? Et sa soeur nous implorait de partir. » « Quand on a commencé
à quitter les lieux, l'objet s'est mis en mouvement lui aussi, et je l'ai alors
suivi jusqu'à l'Interstate 84. Lorsqu'il s'est mis à se mouvoir, toutes ses
lumières se sont éteintes, et j'ai vu la sombre forme du V se déplacer, et cela
a duré une dizaine de secondes, et puis les lumières se sont rallumées. Cette
fois, elles étaient rouges et blanches. Et puis toutes les lumières blanches
brillantes se sont rallumées, et il n'y avait plus de lumières rouges. » «
J'ai estimé sa vitesse avec ma Jeep à environ trente kilomètres à l'heure. Je
vous assure que je connais les avions, et ceci n'en était absolument pas un. Ce
truc avait approximativement les dimensions d'un stade de foot. »
Wright
ajouta qu'il avait suivi l'objet pendant plus d'une heure. « Il s'est dirigé
vers l'ouest et il a survolé l'Interstate 84. Et puis il s'est mobilisé
au-dessus de cette route où il a fait à nouveau du vol stationnaire. Il était à
une soixantaine de mètres d'altitude. Je me suis arrêté et j'ai aperçu un bon
nombre de personnes qui le regardaient également. J'ai parlé avec un homme et sa
femme, et ils étaient terrifiés par les dimensions gigantesques de l'engin.
» « Et puis l'objet s'est retrouvé juste au-dessus de nos têtes, et les
lumières se sont désunies, se mettant à monter et à descendre en sautillant à
angles droits. Il y avait environ six lumières distinctes, et une plus grande au
milieu qui était stationnaire. Elles se sont réunies à nouveau et ont progressé
vers le nord-est, où je les ai perdues de vue à cause de l'éloignement.
»
Techniquement, une rencontre rapprochée est tout simplement
l'observation d'un objet non identifié qui se trouve à moins de cent cinquante
mètres environ du témoin. Personne ne se trouvant si près d'un engin aussi
déconcertant n'aura la présence d'esprit ou l'équipement nécessaire pour mesurer
à quel point celui-ci est proche. Cependant, de telles observations rapprochées
permettent généralement de distinguer certains détails sur l'objet, détails
pouvant contribuer à résoudre un jour ce mystère. Il s'agit là d'une rencontre
rapprochée du premier type, ou, dans le vocabulaire des ufologues, d'une
RR1. De nombreuses observations dans la vallée de l'Hudson, dont certaines
que nous avons déjà évoquées, étaient des RR1.
Dans une rencontre
rapprochée du deuxième type, ou RR2, on retrouve différentes sortes de preuves
physiques laissées par le phénomène, comme des branches d'arbres brisées, de la
terre brûlée, ou des résidus sombres, huileux. L'un des exemples les plus
remarquables de RR2 s'est produit l'après-midi du 8 janvier 1981, quand un objet
non identifié a surpris un homme de cinquante-cinq ans en atterrissant dans son
jardin situé dans le sud de la France. Cet homme, identifié par le gouvernement
français comme étant Renato Colini, était alors occupé à construire un petit
abri en ciment pour sa pompe à eau sur une terrasse surélevée derrière sa maison
bâtie en zone rurale à une cinquantaine de kilomètres à l'ouest de
Cannes.
Vers 17 heures, Colini entendit du bruit, se retourna et aperçut
un « vaisseau » dans les airs au-dessus des pins situés à la limite de sa
propriété. Il descendait en direction du sol. Colini se rapprocha, se postant
près d'un cabanon placé à proximité de sa maison. « De là, j'ai vu le
vaisseau atterrir au sol », déclara-t-il à la police. « A cet instant, il s'est
mis à émettre un sifflement constant. Et puis il a redécollé. Une fois qu'il a
atteint la hauteur des arbres, il s'est envolé rapidement vers le nord-est.
» Colini marcha une trentaine de mètres jusqu'au site d'atterrissage et
découvrit un cercle d'environ deux mètres de diamètre laissant voir des traces
de quelque chose à plusieurs endroits sur la courbe du cercle.
On prévint
la police, et celle-ci, à son tour, avertit l'agence française officielle qui
étudie le phénomène ovni depuis 1977. Baptisé GEPAN à l'époque (Groupe d'études
des phénomènes aérospatiaux non identifiés), ce groupe dépendait du CNES,
l'équivalent de la NASA. La police effectua l'enquête conformément aux
procédures établies par le GEPAN. Colini déclara aux agents que le « vaisseau »
avait la forme de deux soucoupes, l'une étant renversée sur l'autre, et qu'il
faisait à peu près un mètre et demi de hauteur. Ils collectèrent également des
échantillons de sol et de végétaux pour les expédier au GEPAN.
Plusieurs
semaines plus tard, le GEPAN envoya sa propre équipe d'enquêteurs et de
scientifiques au domicile de Colini. Ils ne purent déceler « aucune indication
d'invention ou d'exagération de la part de Colini ni de trouble mental qui
aurait pu apporter des doutes sur son témoignage ». Ils reconstituèrent
l'événement dans son ensemble, prirent des mesures, réalisèrent des croquis et
prélevèrent davantage d'échantillons de sol et de végétaux. Trois ans plus
tard, après des analyses et des expériences exhaustives, les scientifiques du
GEPAN annoncèrent qu'ils avaient découvert une curieuse mutation dans certaines
plantes : de trente à cinquante pour cent de la chlorophylle avait disparu, une
prouesse qu'il ne parvinrent pas à reproduire au cours de leurs tests en
laboratoire.

Survey Finds People Who Believe in God Less Likely to Believe in Extraterrestrials (VIDEO)
A new survey shows that atheists and agnostics are 76 percent more likely than Christians to believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life. Overall 37 percent of those surveyed were willing to say they believed in the existence of extraterrestrial life, only 21 percent said they did not believe. However, most people (42 percent) were reticent to commit either way, saying they just aren't sure.
The survey was conducted by Survata, a market research company. The results were shared on a blog posting on Survata's website, and it points out that throughout history scientific discovery has often been at odds with religious doctrine.
In modern times, NASA seems to be getting closer to the discovery of extraterrestrial life with programs such as the Mars rover and Kepler telescope. The likelihood of extraterrestrial life is rising with each new discovery. Some feel that if the discovery of life is just around the corner, this may be an issue for religious dogma.
A new book titled Science, Religion, and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, by Theologian and Professor David Wilkinson, tackles these problems. He recently told theDurham Times that Christian theologians are currently philosophizing about these issues, and the relationship between science and religion is "more subtle and fruitful than just conflict."
Survata decided they could help shed some light on how religious affiliation relates to belief in extraterrestrial life with a survey. They polled 5,886 Americans, asking them: "Do you believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life?"
Survata also asked the participants their religious affiliation. Of those who chose Atheist/Agnostic, 55 percent said they did believe in the existence of extraterrestrials. Interestingly, of those who chose "other" for religious affiliation, 62 percent said they believe in extraterrestrial life, this was the group with the highest percentage with that answer.
The religious group with the highest percentage that believes in extraterrestrial life was the Muslims at 44 percent. The Jewish and Hindu groups were similar in their percentage of believers, 37 percent and 36 percent respectively. Christians had the lowest percentage for the belief in extraterrestrial life at 32 percent. However, the lowest group was those who did not wish to share their religious affiliation. Only 18 percent of this group believes extraterrestrials exist.
Even though the number of believers varied, the number of people who were not sure was pretty constant at about 30 percent. The variances came with those who said they outright did not believe extraterrestrials exist. This category ranged from 15 percent among atheist/agnostics to over 30 percent for Christians and Jews.
Christians were the largest religious affiliation with a little over 2,200 participants, and Survata went more in-depth with them to show the differences between denominations. Baptists were the least likely to believe in the existence of extraterrestrials with 29 percent in the affirmative and 39 percent in the negative. The other denominations were fairly close at about 30 percent not believing in ET and 35 percent to 40 percent in the affirmative.
Survata's website also has a tool that lets you drill down into the data a bit more. When I looked into gender variances, there was little difference. However, age differences were significant.
Younger participants answered the question nearly completely opposite those in older groups. Among the 13 to 17 group, 58 percent said they believed in extraterrestrial life, only 11 percent said no, and 31 percent were unsure. However, the 40-plus group had nearly a third as many believers with only 20 percent saying they believed in extraterrestrial life, 30 percent said they did not believe in extraterrestrial life, and a large number (51 percent) said they were unsure.
The Huffington Post and YouGov also did a recent poll on belief in extraterrestrials. They asked whether the participants believed that "some people have witnessed UFOs that have an extraterrestrial origin." Their findings were a bit shocking, 48% answered in the affirmative and 35% in the negative. They had a smaller sample size at 1000 participants. When The Huffington Post and YouGov broke down the numbers they also found little differences between the genders. However, their political affiliations were interesting. They found, "from a political perspective, the ET believer camp reveals 58 percent to be Democrats, 47 percent Independents and 37 percent Republicans." Given Survata's findings, and the perception that Republicans are more often Christian, this may shed more insight into why people believe what they do.
The Survata survey demonstrates a belief in God may shade a person's belief in extraterrestrial life. Wilkinson says he wrote his book in hopes that "people of religious faith will see the search for extraterrestrial intelligence isn't a threat but is something they can be very supportive of," an idea that younger generations seem much more ready to accept.

For well over half a century I have been interested in exploring phenomena while maintaining firm balance in the real world. Therefore my web site contains two bios; one for the straight world (www.johnbalexander.com...) and another that be of more interest to ATS readers (www.johnbalexander.com...). For 32 years I served in the Army entering as a private, rising to sergeant first class (E7), attending Officers Candidate School, was commissioned as a second lieutenant and became a colonel before I retired in 1988. My varied assignments were mostly in special operations, intelligence, and research and development. I am a Special Forces combat commander, Ranger, Pathfinder, underwater operations qualified, and later served under contract as a mentor to the senior MOD leadership in Afghanistan.
My second career was at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Recognizing the world was rapidly changing I developed the concept of Non-Lethal Defense which has evolved into a major military endeavor, but remains poorly understood. Despite persistent rumors it has nothing to do with mind control but will be integral to the future application of force in all sectors.
After retiring from the University of California (LANL is actually a campus of the UC system) I was the person first to join the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) here in Las Vegas. Among my many experiences there, I was the first of NIDS staff to spend the night on Skinwalker Ranch. Very likely, most of what you think you know about NIDS is wrong. It was wholly owned by Robert Bigelow and had no connection to the U.S. government (other than accepting FAA referrals on UFOs.)
Scholastically I graduated from the University of Nebraska Omaha, obtained an MA from Pepperdine University and Ph.D. from Walden University. Later I attended advanced programs at the Sloan School of Management at MIT, Anderson School of Management at UCLA, and the Senior Executive Program in National and International Security at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.
We have traveled the world, including all seven continents, and lectured on most. Most recently we have returned from exploring shamans and the reindeer people in Northern Mongolia and experiencing voodoo ceremonies in Togo and Benin, West Africa. We saw things that cant happen but did. For information about the countries we have visited check my web site www.johnbalexander.com That may answer questions or generate new ones. New Guinea was amazing, as were experiences with shamans and healers from all over the world. John of God in Brazil is a favorite.
I have had four books published and written many scientific articles on a broad range of topics from non-lethal weapons and geopolitics, to remote viewing, near death experiences and UFOs. As a senior fellow at defense universities I have published monographs on the changing nature of war, intelligence shortfalls in Central and South America, emerging conflicts in Africa, and the convergence of functions between special operations forces and civilian law enforcement agencies. My next monograph, which addresses maritime piracy, is due out within a few weeks. I have also contributed to a National Defense University book on the future of biological warfare. All of those DOD publications are available for free on my web site.
My book, UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities, is based on an ad hoc group I formed decades ago to study the topic. Participants came from all services, several intelligence agencies, and aerospace industries. All members had very high security clearances. Contrary to popular mythology we found no ultra-secret organization lurking in the background. Excluding the names of individuals involved that already have not self-identified, I have no prohibitions in answering any questions you might have about the topic.
While in the military we explored a lot of controversial issues. With help of Jack Houck I taught metal bending (PKMB) to hundreds of officials and researched monitoring of emotions at a distance through oral leucocytes with information from Cleve Backster. Later I was a founding member of the board of directors for the International Remote Viewers Association (IRVA). Based on my dissertation topic I joined the board of directors of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), then at the University of Connecticut. As one of the presidents I heard many extraordinary cases. On the straight side of thanatology studies I helped form Childrens Hospice International (CHI) and was on the founding board of directors along with my mentor, Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. Now, decades later there are free-standing hospices for pediatric care and support for their families that did not exist before 1980.
To support serious research into phenomenology I joined the Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE) which has some of the most forward thinking and open-minded scientists on the planet. For nine years I served as a council member until eliminated due to term limits.
Philosophically I concur with Einstein; there are no limits to human stupidity. Although often associated with them through ridiculous rumors, I have little tolerance for conspiracy theories that abound. I find that most people have no concept of how large organizations work, and willingly make huge leaps in logic about capabilities the government may, or may not have. That said, I will not knowingly make any misleading statements in my response to questions; but expect blunt answers to such questions.
Ask me anything
************************************************************************************************************************************** admin note: This is the "real" Colonel John Alexander, he is our invited guest and we expect the utmost civility and respect from our members who interact with him. Please show your appreciation for Colonel Alexander giving his time to us here at ATS by asking one question per post and please be patient about getting an answer.
Best selling
US author Tom Clancy (with Grant Blackwood) has a 2010 novel out titled "Dead or
Alive" (published by Michael Joseph. New York. ISBN 978-0-718-15741-8.) It's the
usual action packed spy and military novel we have come to expect from
Clancy.
However, a section of page 756 came as a surprise to me, when I
read it the other day. Clancy and Blackwood describe a truck driver, working for
the US Government who undergoes a special training program. "Mostly they drilled
him on emergency procedures: what to do of someone tried to high jack the load;
what to do if he got into an accident; what to do if a UFO came down and beamed
him out of the cab..."
Well, I know it's only a very small line in a
fictional story, but it led me to wonder what Clancy's views were on the UFO
phenomenon? Clancy has previously spoken of the very knowledgeable military
personnel who he knows through his research for his novels.
I then
recalled that Clancy had written a "commentary" for John B Alexander's 2011
book "UFOs:myths, conspiracies and realities," (published by Thomas Dunne
books. New York. ISBN 978-0-312-64834-3.)
In the commentary (p.
xix)Clancy opens with "Like most Americans, I've been reading about UFOs since I
saw my first flying saucer movie back in 1954 or so."
Referring to
Alexander's book "This book is, I think, maybe the first-ever look into a
question that millions of people have, and more to the point, it's a look that
asks questions and looks for hard answers...What he says you can take to the
bank."
After speaking of the growth of our own technology "We can assume
that UFOs, if they exist, have computer power such as we have not yet dreamed
about, and what else can they do? Dimensional corridors that by-pass space-time?
If so, then they can hop from place to place faster than the speed of light. Or
even time travel? What we consider reality would be immensely limiting to the
pilots of such craft. We cannot know, and even if we did know, could we
understand? Probably, yes."
Comparing out state of knowledge of UFOs,
Clancy concludes "And so it is with the UFO. We do not know how they, if they
are real, operate. All we can do is to gather information, draw conclusions from
it, then advance a step at a time in the hope of catching up."
