Supernatural The Myth The Legend The Search for the Truth
Since the famous Roswell UFO crash there have been many other account's of this around the world and in America in particular. Obviously evidence showing the craft is always either concealed or met with great skepticism. This though doesn't... necessary mean the case should be dismissed as there is sometimes witness account's of the event's that make you think that just maybe there is truth in the story. On 29th of May, 1953 near the town of Kingman, Arizona there atre claim's that such an event did indeed take place. This case was first brought to the publics attention by Raymond Fowler in June 1973. Fowler had obtained evidence from a witness he referred to as 'Fritz Werner'. Werner claims to have been working on a special contract at a nuclear test site in Nevada. On the 21st May he was called away by his boss and told that he would be going on a 'special assignment'. He was flown to Phoenix and then taken in a bus with blacked out windows to a location north-west of Phoenix, he and the others on the bus were told not to speak to each other under any circumstances. When they arrived at their destination they were taken to see a 30ft disc embedded into the sand. The craft was lit up my military arc-lights. The object appeared to of been constructed of an aluminium-like material. There was a small hole in the craft, which appeared to be the result of a crash. Werners task was to calculate the speed that the craft was travelling when the crash occurred. Once finished he spoke briefly to some of the others who mentioned seeing a small cabin and tiny chairs inside the craft. Whilst they were back on the bus and being taken back they were made to sign the 'Official Secrets' act and was told never to tell anyone about this incident. Werner also claims to have seen the body of a small creature about 4ft tall inside a small medical tent. The creature was wearing a skull-cap and a silver one-piece suit. Fowler made several check as to the integrity of Werner and everyone who knew him said that he was a man of considerable integrity and scientific ability. Support for this story once again came from personnel at Wright Patterson who claimed that he was witness to a delivery from a 'crash site in Arizona' in 1953. He said that 3 bodies had been recovered and were packed in dry ice, 4ft tall, large heads and brownish skin. Since then several other witnesses have come forward including a future Vietnam commander who has testified to the validity of the story. A drawing of a Flying Saucer simulator is believed to have been drawn up from what was found here. The cover up again mean's we have to go on the basis of Werner's story but with the general opinion of the integrity of him it's hard to believe he had much to gain from making such a thing up. I personally give the case the benefit of the doubt as a believer, as for you, your opinion may already be made but i leave it to you as always...

Army Helicopter's UFO Scare Still A Mystery, 40 Years Later
Forty years ago today, a four-man crew of an Army Reserve helicopter was
flying over Mansfield, Ohio, around 11:00 p.m. when they "encountered a near
midair collision with an unidentified flying object," according to the official
report, signed and submitted by the
crew after the incident.
A full explanation for this terrifying UFO close encounter has never been
offered, and to this day, the helicopter-UFO incident remains one of the most
credible -- and terrifying -- in the history of the subject.
The commander of the helicopter, Maj. Larry Coyne, and his crew, thought at
first that the light on the horizon was a radio tower beacon.
"We were flying along at about 2,500 feet when the crew chief on the
helicopter observed a red light on the east horizon. He then informed me that
the light was closing on the helicopter -- that it was coming at us on a
collision course," Coyne told this reporter in 1975.
"I looked to the right and observed that the object became bigger and the
light became brighter, and I began to descend the helicopter toward the ground,
to get out of the collision course path. We were descending and this object was
like a missile locked onto the helicopter, only it came at us on a perpendicular
angle, to hit us almost broadside.
"It looked like we were going to collide with it and we braced for impact,
and then I heard the crewmen in the back say, 'Look up!' and I observed this
craft stopped directly in front of us -- stopped -- it was hovering, right over
the helicopter!" (See main story illustration above)
Watch this video excerpt of the Coyne account from a documentary
report. The story continues after the video.
With the unknown object hovering in the air above the helicopter, Coyne and
his crew suddenly noticed a light coming out of the aft end of it -- a light
that swung 90 degrees and came into their cabin.
"It was a bright green light. And all of the red night lights that we utilize
for night navigation were dissolved in this green light -- the whole cabin
turned green. It hit all of us directly in the face."
Coyne and his crew knew they were encountering something extraordinary.
"We assumed it was a high-performance fighter, but when it stopped directly
in front of us, then all four of us realized that was no high-performance
aircraft. This craft, from the angle that we saw it, was cigar-shaped. It had no
wings, no vertical or horizontal stabilizer, was approximately 60 feet long,
15-20 feet in height."
What occurred next was like something out of science fiction.
"We were at 1,700 feet," Coyne recalled. "Then this craft began to move
slowly to the west away from us. At this time, I was worried we were going to
hit the ground, and I looked at my altimeter and our helicopter was at 3,500
feet, climbing 1,000 feet a minute with no changes in the control. We went from
1,700 feet to 3,500 feet in a matter of seconds and never knew it!"
The helicopter topped out at 3,800 feet and the four men felt a bump, "like
turbulence, at which time we had control of the aircraft again. I had control
and we went back down to 2,500 feet and then continued on to Cleveland," Coyne
said.
"As far as the vehicle itself, there's no doubt in our minds what it looked
like. A craft that can move at terrific speeds in excess of 1,000 knots, and
then stop on a dime, maintains altitude, can change altitude, climb, descend. To
encounter a UFO when it approaches your aircraft, you have no idea what it is. I
think if it wanted to collide with us, it could have. You can't get away from it
-- you don't have that much time to respond!"
Lending credibility to this case were eyewitnesses on the ground who observed
the UFO-helicopter encounter. The Army didn't prevent Coyne and his crew from
speaking out about their experience. In fact, Coyne was allowed to recount the
UFO incident to the United Nations in 1978, as seen below, under the sponsorship
of Grenada.
This 1973 UFO incident, while certainly dramatic and terrifying for the
helicopter crew involved, is not the only time that conventional aircraft have
had encounters with unknown objects.
Many crew members of major airlines have witnessed unusual objects near their
aircraft but have been reluctant to tell their stories publicly.
In 1999, Richard Haines, a retired senior research scientist for the
NASA-Ames Research Center in California, created the National Aviation Reporting
Center on Anomalous Phenomena, or NARCAP, to give pilots and air traffic
controllers a confidential place to report their own unusual sightings of what
Haines refers to as unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP.
"We have two objectives: To make flying safer with regard to unidentified and
poorly understood phenomena in the atmosphere. And the second objective is to
collect, analyze and then report high quality data from the aerospace world on
the phenomena, to help us understand them better," Haines, 76, told The
Huffington Post.
According to Haines, on an average daily basis, since the creation of NARCAP,
he's received six to 12 reports a year. He absolutely believes there are real
dangerous or safety issues that come up between pilots and some UAP.
"Based upon analysis of past cases, a potential for a very serious event does
exist," Haines said. "We have reviewed a great many encounters in flight where
several things can happen. One of them is an electromagnetic effect in close
proximity to the phenomenon, where cockpit instrumentation are affected -- it
might be a magnetic field, radio interference or even an inertial effect, and
that's obviously unsafe. Pilots don't want to be flying airplanes where they
can't trust their instruments."
Another area of concern that Haines and his colleagues have found is similar
to what Coyne and his helicopter crew experienced in 1973.
"It's where a UAP is near the airplane, perhaps ahead of the plane, and the
pilot makes a rapid emergency dive to avoid a perceived collision. That's not
very common, but it would have to be reported. It has happened in the past and
there are still near-misses that occur which sometimes are associated with a
nearby UAP."
Haines has always been impressed with the Coyne helicopter incident.
"It qualifies as a genuine UAP encounter. Multiple witness cases are very
important and should command the attention of aviation officials. In the Coyne
case, its color, speed and apparent shape -- those are all important physical
characteristics that can be related to other pilot sightings.
"I think the Coyne case ranks very, very high in credibility. One reason is
Coyne's reputation as a good pilot before this happened. And his courage -- the
fact that he was willing to come forward with this very bizarre story and to
stand by it says an awful lot. And he would give encouragement to other pilots
to do the same.
"If everybody remains silent, we're never going to get to the bottom of
this."
Une ancienne civilisation mégalithique a aussi laissé des traces au Japon
Une ancienne civilisation mégalithique a aussi laissé des traces au Japon
" De nouvelles photos et vidéo de SAYGO TAKAMORI (membre permanent du LIA), sur les mystérieux mégalithes du Japon. Tout le matériel est filmé dans le parc Asuka. Personnellement pour moi, il était étonnant de savoir que dans ces régions, en plus des pyramides de l'île sous-marine de Yonaguni, il y a d'autres blocs monolithiques. Eh bien, il est le temps de combler les lacunes avec vous.
Un des buts de ce voyage était la découverte des traces d'une ancienne civilisation très développée dans le Japon contemporain.
Ces objets existent, ils sont concentrés dans la région du Kansai, à 60 km de g.Kioto.v., au lieu-dit Asuka.
Retrouver ces objets a été assez difficile, même avec une carte, puisque certains d'entre eux sont situés à une distance considérable les uns des autres (dans les montagnes, les forêts, et même parmi les champs). Les Japonaise locaux ne parlent pas anglais, beaucoup ne sont pas familiers avec les mégalithes de la région.
Nous nous aidons des enfants et des chauffeurs de taxi plus omniprésents que jamais pour nous montrer la voie. Parfois, je devais prendre un taxi pour trouver un objet dans un rayon de 1 km des pourtours du village.
Ici, nous avons trouvé le premier grand mégalithe du Japon, Masuda Ivafun. L'endroit n'est pas populaire parmi les touristes, nous n'avons rencontré personne.
Le Mégalithe comme prévu était énorme. A l'étage du mégalithe se trouvait un créneau dont la forme avait été parfaitement moulée, sculptée, fondue ... choisissez le mot juste par vous-même ! Des traces de travail manuel rugueux, avec un burin, un ciseau n'ont pas été trouvées.
Le matériau du Masuda Ivafun est du granit, est-il écrit dans la description près du mégalithe, et exact quand j'ai enlevé avec soin les dépôts sur la roche environ 30 minutes. Sur le rocher difficile de laisser même une égratignure !
Le suivant sur la listeque nous avionsest le mégalitheSakafunesh. Pourquoile peuple localcroit que, grâce àce rocher de granit,trèshabilement découpéil y a plusieurs milliers d'années auparavantfaisait duSake (alcool de riz) !Je me demande quipourraitconstruire une tellepierre de lunedans un passé lointainpour la distillation del'alcool ?
Ce qui suit est un artefact de Asuka, le mégalithe Pot du Diable, qui se compose de deux parties. Une partie du monument de granit est tombé de la colline, la deuxième plaque est populairement appelée comme "la planche à découper". Le nom même des paysans locaux explique le fait que dans leur compréhension, ces blocs peuvent se déplacer et être utilisées uniquement par les démons, les gens ne peuvent pas le faire.

United States Air Force Col. Charles Halt shares his experience that occurred at
a base where a UFO shot laser beams at him and his fellow Air Force officers,
morphed into multiple individual balls of light, flew up to 4,000 mph while
making 90 degree turns and appearing on radar. He's one of many speakers that

If Not Extramundane, Then Something Very Much More Bizarre
"On the basis of the evidence I have
examined, and on the basis of my own weighing of alternative hypotheses, I now
regard Hypothesis 7 [Extraterrestrial devices of some surveillance nature] as
the one most likely to prove correct. My scientific instincts lead me to hedge
that prediction just to the extent of suggesting that if the UFOs are not of
extramundane origin, then I suspect that they will prove to be something very
much more bizarre, something of perhaps even greater scientific interest than
extraterrestrial devices"(Statement on Unidentified Flying Objects (p. 5) uit
1968).
AUDIO
RECORDINGS BY DR. JAMES E. MCDONALD SENIOR PHYSICIST, INSTITUTE OF ATMOSPHERIC
PHYSICS, UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA TUCSON JAMES E. MCDONALD'S ARCHIVED UFO
FILES
Darrell Rose, April 4th, 2013 : James Edward McDonald (May 7, 1920 -- June 13,
1971) was an American physicist. He is best known for his research regarding
UFOs. McDonald was senior physicist at the Institute for Atmospheric Physics and
professor in the Department of Meteorology, University of Arizona, Tucson.
McDonald campaigned in support of expanding UFO studies during the mid and late
1960s, arguing that UFOs represented an important unsolved mystery which had not
been adequately studied by science. He was one of the more prominent figures of
his time who argued in favor of the extraterrestrial hypothesis as a plausible,
but not completely proved, model of UFO phenomena. McDonald interviewed over 500
UFO witnesses, uncovered many important government UFO documents, and gave
important presentations of UFO evidence. He testified before Congress during the
UFO hearings of 1968. McDonald also gave a famous talk called "Science in
Default" to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). It
was a summary of the current UFO evidence and a critique of the 1969 Condon
Report UFO study. http://wolfdigitalmedia.com/ufo/jamesmcdonaldarchive.htm

McCarron March 2002 - February 2006
Coordinated by Ann Druffel and Vince Uhlenkott from a
grant provided by the "Fund for UFO Research"
Note:This project took 4 years to
complete. Im self-employed and run my own business from my home. My main
business is video editing, video production, CD/DVD-Rom authoring and web
design. The project turned out to be a huge undertaking, encompassing many more
hours than I initially thought, however I'm happy to have been given the
opportunity to have cataloged the amazing life's work (in audio form) of Dr.
James E. McDonald's UFO research.
Once finished, the project ended
up being archived on 110 CD-Rs for playback in a car radio, portable CD player
or boom box. The original uncompressed (WAV) files were backed up on 18 data
DVD-Rs. After this was done I also processed the files to Windows Media Audio
(WMA) files and MP3 (MP3) files. The WMA or MP3 files could be used for
streaming off a web server for internet playback. Also WMA and MP3 files can be
played on most new media players like the iPod or any other current DVD/CD
players. The beauty of the WMA and MP3 files is that I was able to compress
roughly 81 gigabytes of Dr. James McDonalds complete archive to fit on one (1)
DVD, just being under 4.5 gigabytes.
Where do I start
In March of 2002, Ann Druffel and Vince Uhlenkott asked me for
their help in converting all of Dr. James McDonalds reel to reel tapes to
digital format. At that time my business was a little slow so I said I would
help them out. Ann and Vince then supplied me with the whole archive of Dr.
McDonalds reel to reel tapes. They consisted of:
* Eighty Three (83), 1 7/8 ips (inches per second), 3 inch reel
to reel tapes, record time 1 hour per side, 2 hours of record time per reel =
166 hours of record time.
* Ten (10) , 3 ¾ ips, 5 inch reel to reel tapes, record time 1
hour per side, 2 hours of record time per reel = 20 hours of record time.
* Twenty (20), 3 ¾ ips, 7 inch reel to reel tapes, record time
2 hours per side, 4 hours of record time per reel = 80 hours of record time.
(See Fig. 1).
(Fig. 1) Collage of Dr. James
McDonalds original audio tapes and notes.
Total record time = 266 hours, just to record the audio into
the computer.
The editing time probably quadrupled that.
The recording and editing process consisted of these five
steps:
1. Recording all of Dr. James McDonalds reel to reel archive
into the computer as uncompressed (WAV) files.
2. Editing of each reel. (Each reel could contain either 4 to 5
telephone interviews, recordings of symposiums or recordings of television/radio
shows). The WAV files would have to be split up into each of their own
segments.
3. Processing of limiter and noise/hum reduction to each file
depending on how bad the file was recorded. Almost all of his recordings needed
this process done to every file.
4. Cataloging and naming of each computer file. (I would have
to listen to every file after the recording process and use Ann Druffels
original notes to make sure names, spellings and dates were correct). I had to
figure out an easy way to name the files so they could be organized easily. I
wanted each file to correspond with the existing reel to reel tape for a
reference. That way, if I looked back to my original WAV files I could tell
exactly what reel they came from and what side the recording was from. So a 3
inch reel, tape #27, Side 2 would be named: 3T27S2 and then what the filename
was.
Example: 3T27S2 James McDonald Interviews Dr Allen
Hynek.wav
This stands for 3 (being a 3 inch reel), T means tape, so 3T
means 3 inch tape. 27 means reel #27, S2 means Side 2. If there were four
interviews or segments on one side I would split up the files each into their
own file and name the file:
Example (segment one would be called): 3T36S101 James McDonald
Interviews Paul Hill.wav Example (segment two would be called): 3T36S102
James McDonald Interviews Lt Col Chase.wav
In these two examples this stands for 3 (being a 3 inch reel),
T means tape, so 3T means 3 inch tape. 36 means reel #36, S2 means Side 2. 01
means segment #1. In the second example it would be the same except that 02
would stand for segment #2. So I could tell by looking quickly at this that:
3T36S102 James McDonald Interviews Lt Col Chase.wav was an interview that came
from Dr. McDonalds 3 inch reel, tape #36, Side 1, Segment 2.
5. CD burning and labeling of each CD and/or DVD. I had to
create a separate label, corresponding to Dr. McDonalds original reels. (See
Fig. 2)
(Fig. 2) Image of CD-R Tape
7, Side 1 & 2, 7 inch reel, Disc 9.
The files would have to be recorded first. Then audio noise
reduction software tools were used to remove hum, crackle, hiss, etc. Some one
hour files would take four hours to edit. I would have to do one to four passes
on the file just to remove hum and background noise. Since Dr. McDonald wasnt a
recording engineer or an audio expert, the recordings werent always recorded in
a noise free environment. A couple of times he did interviews in the witnesss
car on the way to the location, which is very noisy. I had to deal with removing
engine, traffic and wind noises.
This doesnt include the time it took me to edit the actual
files and listen to them to figure out names, dates etc. so I could name each
file correctly. Ann Druffels original notes on the cataloging of Dr. McDonalds
files helped a lot for referencing names, dates etc. I would also call Rob
Swiatek or email Richard Hall from the Fund for UFO Research to help me with
names and dates to make sure they were correct. Dr. McDonald would record his
voice before most interviews and say the date, time, and location and spell out
the name of each witness. And other times there would be nothing recorded before
the interview. Sometimes I would have to look up witnesss names and dates of
UFO events on the internet. This way I could double check if the dates were
correct and the names of the witnesses were spelled correctly. And sometimes,
unless it was a famous UFO case, I wouldnt be able to find anything on the
internet about it. So some spellings of peoples names maybe spelled
incorrectly. If I wasnt sure of a name or date I added a question mark next to
the name or date. Some witnesses were also unknowns so I would list the person
in my notes as, Dr. James McDonald Interviews Unknown Man, or Dr. James
McDonald Interviews Frank (Last Name Unknown?). If there are words misspelled
or incorrect dates, please forgive me. Recording and editing the data was a big
enough job in itself.
The first problem in recording the files was that Dr.
McDonalds original 3 inch, 1 7/8 speed reel to reel tape recorder was of no use
being an old belt driven unit. Sometimes the audio would play at a correct speed
and then slow down, so recording was useless. The audio would sound like Dr.
McDonald was talking underwater. So the next thing I did was search on eBay for
another recorder. Since the older recorders are pretty cheap ($20 to $50
dollars), I figured I would buy one to see if it would solve my problem. I found
a Sony TC-123 reel to reel tape recorder that would play at 1 7/8 ips on eBay
for $23.17 with shipping and handling. (See Fig. 3).
(Fig. 3) Vintage Sony
TC-123 reel-to-reel tape recorder.
I tried to use this recorder to record the 3 inch, 1 7/8 ips
reel to reel tapes into my computer, but again this machine was old, belt driven
and also had playback speed problems. It also had problems with major hum once
it was connected to my computer for recording, due to the fact of grounding
problems.
I called Vince Uhlenkott and he told me he had a reel to reel
tape recorder that could play 3 ¾ ips. So we suggested to use this recorder to
start the job and would try to find another player that was able to play 1 7/8
ips and 3 ¾ ips. The problem with this would mean that the job was basically
started and recorded in reverse order. This being that Dr. McDonald originally,
(at that time) recorded on 3 inch reels. Then when the technology got better he
recorded on 5 inch reels and then 7 inch reels. Since we didnt want to waste
any time we started recording the 7 inch reels right away.
After I had recorded 10 or more files I would edit out long
pauses, coughs or spaces between the interviews. This way the listener didnt
have to wait for long breaks while listening to the audio. Then limiting and
noise/hum removal would be applied so the files would sound clean and wouldnt
have any background noise. I would then take notes on each file, name them, burn
a CD and label them. This is a very tedious process as you can see and could
only be done, as I mentioned earlier, on my time off.
After some time it got to the point that Vince Uhlenkotts tape
player/recorder started also having playback problems. Since we both knew that
we would eventually need another playback machine that could playback 1 7/8 ips
speed, Vince told me to go ahead and look on eBay for another one. I was able to
eventually find a really clean vintage reel to reel Sony TC-155 player. (See
Fig. 4).
(Fig. 4) Vintage Sony
TC-155 reel to reel tape player.
This one was recently serviced by an audio specialist so I knew
it would not have any playback problems for awhile. Over the next few years I
recorded the rest of the 7 inch, 5 inch then 3 inch reels. I found that it was
easier just to record the whole archive first and then concentrate on editing,
noise reduction, cataloging, burning and finally labeling. For anyone
technically interested I used Sonys Sound Forge software to record the WAV
files to my hard drive on the PC. Originally I used Sonys Noise Reduction
software to remove noise and hum but as the technology got better I used Biass
SoundSoap Pro. I found this to be a lot better at removing noise and hum than
Sonys Noise Reduction software. (See Fig. 5)
(Fig. 5) The editing and
noise/hum removal process of Dr. James McDonalds audio recordings with
Sound Forge and SoundSoap Pro software.
At the end of February of 2006 I finally had the whole project
completed, burned and labeled. (See Figures 6 & 7).

3-ring binder housing Dr. James McDonalds audio recordings.
Im glad that this could finally be completed and Im sure it
will become a huge research tool for the whole UFO community. There a probably
references, or info in these interviews that could have been missed by other
researchers in the past. Also new info could be gleaned from any of these past
UFO cases. I hope eventually that these files will be streamed on the University
of Tucsons website for all UFO researchers to be able to have access to
them.
Fukushima : le Japon lance un nouvel appel à l'aide internationale
Fukushima : le Japon lance un nouvel appel à l'aide internationale
Après avoir été critiquée par son isolement, le Japon s'ouvre enfin à l'aide internationale pour sécuriser une centrale de Fukushima hors de contrôle. Un deuxième appel à contributions va être lancé dans les prochaines semaines.
Tepco et le Japon appellent (enfin) à l'aide. Le gouvernement japonais s'apprête à lancer un deuxième appel à propositions international pour tenter de sécuriser la centrale de Fukushima accidentée. Après un premier appel visant à traiter les problèmes d'eau contaminée, auquel ont répondu de nombreux pays (dont la France, les États-Unis et la Grande-Bretagne), il s'agit cette fois-ci de faire appel aux acteurs du monde entier pour retirer le combustible fondu de trois réacteurs. "L'enjeu est de trouver des techniques de récupération du combustible fondu autres que celle qui est actuellement envisagée avec une grue dans les réacteurs remplis d'eau", a précisé un responsable gouvernemental à l'AFP.
LE SAVOIR-FAIRE FRANÇAIS EXPLOITÉ ?
Une structure a été créée en août pour piloter le démantèlement de quatre des six réacteurs de la centrale de Fukushima, touchée par un tsunami le 11 mars 2011. L'Irid, c'est son nom, est chargée de mettre en place les moyens techniques nécessaires aux opérations de démantèlement. Jusqu'ici, ce groupe de travail n'était composé que dinstitutions et d'entreprises japonaises (17 intervenants au total) mais il s'est engagé à accueillir des acteurs étrangers. La sélection de ces nouveaux partenaires est en cours. Areva et d'autres entreprises françaises pourraient participer aux opérations de démantèlement : le groupe, qui avait fourni en mai 2011 la première unité de décontamination d'eau sur le site de Fukushima, a déclaré à plusieurs reprises disposer de savoir-faire potentiellement utiles.
DE NOMBREUX CANDIDATS
Le démantèlement de la centrale de Fukushima s'annonce long et fastidieux, mais aussi riche d'enseignements pour les acteurs du démantèlement des centrales nucléaires. Raison pour laquelle les groupes internationaux se bousculent pour y participer. (YH : notons que, étant donné l'urgence de la situation, la date limite de l'appel d'offre est au 23 octobre 2013 ! - une date à laquelle peu d'intervenants étrangers sont capables de répondre si rapidement... - en effet, certains réservoirs concernés sont parvenus à leur date limite d'utilisation selon des travailleurs locaux, et il y a une crainte d'affaissement et déversement subit d'eaux très contaminées, surtout si un gros séisme survenait avant les travaux. La catastrophe a déjà été frôlée lors des passages de typhons, il ne faudrait peut-être pas tenter le diable...)
Bob vous dit TOUTE LA VERITE sur FUKUSHIMA avec Jean-Pierre Petit :
L'énergie a un prix, celui de nos vie .. êtes vous pret à le payer ? Réécouter en exclusivité l'interview radio de Jean-Pierre Petit, Astrophysicien, ancien chercheur au CNRS, un des pionniers en recherche expérimentale sur la magnétohydrodynamique.
Pour les courageux qui n'ont pas peur de la radio, voici une très longue (3 H 40 !) et très intéressante intervention de Jean-Pierre Petit sur les événements mondiaux actuels, sur la radio Ici et Maintenant (95.2) en août 2013. Ses détracteurs ont beau dire ce qu'ils veulent, il est toujours très instructif et enrichissant d'écouter les avis de Jean-Pierre Petit qui, lui au moins, a prit le temps de s'informer et d'apprendre sur le nucléaire (qui n'est pas sa spécialité) et son matériau physique avant d'affirmer quoi que ce soit. Tous ceux qui suivent de prêt ou de loin ce grand ingénieur français trop méconnu savent très bien qu'il n'est pas homme à surgir au moindre incident mais bien un homme de réflexion qui étudie les choses avant d'affirmer des résultats - c'est un scientifique, et c'est ce qu'il a fait toute sa vie. Une personnalité à écouter donc et qui vous amène à la réflexion et à envisager éventuellement des recoins de la géopolitique que vous n'imaginiez pas... :
" Un an et demi après la catastrophe nucléaire de Fukushima, plus de 260 000 enfants résident encore dans des zones fortement contaminées.
Bien que les parents de la ville de Fukushima s'efforcent de protéger leurs enfants du mieux quils peuvent, notamment via le port de masques ou la consommation de produits alimentaires contrôlés, leurs mesures de protection ne suffisent pas pour éviter l'exposition des enfants aux radiations. Nous exigeons du gouvernement, dans le cadre des décisions politiques de protection, de réaliser et faciliter l'évacuation collective des enfants afin de leur permettre de vivre dans un environnement sain et sécuritaire.
Le 11 Septembre 2012, le premier cas de cancer de la thyroïde sur un enfant a été découvert après avoir examinés 38.000 thyroïdes denfants de Fukushima.
Normalement, le risque d'avoir un cancer de la thyroïde à cet âge est de lordre dun cas pour 1 million d'enfants (Syunichi Yamashita, 2009, P 536 L1 ~ 2). De plus, cette enquête récente a permis de révéler que 43% des 42.000 enfants examinés ont une croissance thyroïdienne anormale. Ce chiffre est alarmant en comparaison aux études menées par Syunichi Yamashita (le conseiller en gestion des risques de rayonnement de Fukushima) avec 0,8% à Nagasaki en 2000, et 0,5% pour Tchernobyl cinq à dix ans après la catastrophe nucléaire. Il est clair que quelque chose d'anormal est en train de se produire dans le corps des enfants de Fukushima.
Si ces anomalies observées continuent sans solution, Fukushima va devenir un autre cas après la Biélorussie et l'Ukraine, où à peine 20% des enfants sont en bonne santé. Il nest pas là question de mesures politiques, mais bien de droits humains fondamentaux.
Ces enfants en danger doivent-ils être épargnés où sacrifiés ? la question est posée.

RUSSIAN divers have pulled from a lake a half-tonne suspected meteorite said to have been part of a meteor that hurt 1200 people in February.
The dramatic recovery operation came eight months after a piercing streak of light lit up the morning sky in the central Russian region of Chelyabinsk in scenes some locals said made them think of the onset of a nuclear war.
The meteor broke up into multiple pieces as it entered the atmosphere, scattering space debris across the industrial region, and scientists are finding pieces to this day.
Much of the meteor landed in a local lake called Chebarkul that the divers entered on Wednesday in an operation covered live on Russian television.
Live footage showed a team pull out a 1.5-metre-long rock from the lake after first wrapping it in a special casing while it was still underwater.
The bolder was then pulled ashore and placed on top of a massive scale for the all-important weighing - an operation that quickly went partially wrong.
The rock broke up into at least three large pieces as scientists began lifting it from the ground with the help of levers and ropes.

The scale itself broke the moment it hit the 570-kilogram mark.
"The rock had a fracture when we found it," one unnamed scientists told the lifenews.ru website in a live transmission.
"It weighed 570 kilograms before the pieces fell off. And then the scale broke," said the scientist.
"We think the whole thing weighs more than 600 kilograms," he said.
Experts cautioned however that it will take time before scientists can certify that the rock they pulled from the lake had indeed come from outer space.
The Vesti 24 rolling news channel reported that divers had already recovered more than 12 pieces from Lake Chebarkul since the February 15 incident.

British scientist 'solves' mystery of Himalayan yetis
17
October 2013Last updated at 10:29 GMT
Professor Bryan Sykes: "Yeti hairs genetically identical to polar bear"
Research by a British scientist has concluded that
the legendary Himalayan yeti may in fact be a sub-species of brown bear.
DNA tests on hair samples carried out by Oxford University genetics professor
Bryan Sykes found that they matched those from an ancient polar bear.
He subjected the hairs to the most advanced tests available.
He says the most likely explanation for the myth is that the animal is a
hybrid of polar bears and brown bears.
Prof Sykes told the BBC that there may be a real biological animal behind the
yeti myth.
"I think this bear, which nobody has seen alive,... may still be there and
may have quite a lot of polar bear in it," he said.
"It may be some sort of hybrid and if its behaviour is different from normal
bears, which is what eyewitnesses report, then I think that may well be the
source of the mystery and the source of the legend."
Prof Sykes conducted the DNA tests on hairs from two unidentified animals,
one from Ladakh - in northern India on the west of the Himalayas - and the other
from Bhutan, 1,285km (800 miles) further east.
The results were then compared with the genomes of other animals that are
stored on a database of all published DNA sequences.
Suspected yeti footprints -
such as these in Nepal - are regularly photographed
Prof Sykes found that he had a 100% match with a sample from an ancient polar
bear jawbone found in Svalbard, Norway, that dates back to between 40,000 and
120,000 years ago - a time when the polar bear and closely related brown bear
were separating as different species.
The species are closely related and are known to interbreed where their
territories overlap.
The sample from Ladakh came from the mummified remains of a creature shot by
a hunter around 40 years ago, while the second sample was in the form of a
single hair, found in a bamboo forest by an expedition of filmmakers around 10
years ago.
Prof Sykes said that his results were "completely unexpected" and that more
work needed to be done interpreting them.
He said that while they did not mean that "ancient polar bears are wandering
around the Himalayas", there could be a sub-species of brown bear in the High
Himalayas descended from an ancestor of the polar bear.
"Or it could mean there has been more recent hybridisation between the brown
bear and the descendant of the ancient polar bear," he said.
In 2008 scientists in the US examined hairs given to the BBC which some had
claimed were from a yeti.
The scientists concluded that in fact the hairs - obtained from the
north-east Indian state of Meghalaya - belonged to a species of Himalayan goat
known as a Himalayan Goral.
Alien abduction 1973: Calvin Parker Jr. speaks about
encounter
PASCAGOULA, Miss. (AP) - Charles Hickson never regretted the notoriety that
came his way after he told authorities he encountered an unidentified flying
object and its occupants 40 years ago on the banks of the Pascagoula River.
Until his death in 2011, Hickson told his story to anyone who would listen.

in American history. AP Photo.
But Calvin Parker Jr., the other man present for one of the most high-profile
UFO cases in American history, has never come to terms with what he still says
was a visit with gray, crab-clawed creatures from somewhere else. He says the
encounter on Oct. 11, 1973, turned his life upside down.
"This is something I really didn't want to happen," Parker told The
Associated Press as the 40th anniversary of the encounter approached.
Parker was unnerved by initial crush of unwelcome attention, with newsmen and
UFO enthusiasts overrunning Walker Shipyard, where he and Hickson worked. He
tried to dodge the spotlight for decades, moving frequently before returning to
Mississippi's Gulf Coast in recent years.
The incident made headlines, sparked a wave of UFO sightings nationwide and
became one of the most widely examined cases on record. Skeptics ranged from the
deputies who first interviewed the men to an author who sought to poke holes in
the story, and Parker himself has had conflicting thoughts about whether he was
visited by aliens or demons.
Parker, now 58, was 18 when he went fishing with Hickson on a tranquil
Thursday night after work.
As they dangled their lines without much luck, the two said a UFO with blue
lights swooped down. They told of a zipping noise made by the object.
Hickson, then 42, said three creatures with leathery gray skin and crab-like
claws - he thought they were robots - took them by the forearms and levitated
them aboard the craft. He said something that looked like a large floating eye
appeared to examine him.
Parker says he was conscious but paralyzed.
"They gave a thorough, I mean a thorough, examination to me just like any
doctor would," he said.
And then they were back on the shore, where it all began. The UFO was gone
and Parker said they tried to collect themselves. Hickson needed three shots of
liquor from a bottle in his car to calm his nerves before deciding to report
what happened.
At the Jackson County Sheriff's Department, deputies initially suspected both
men were drunk. Then-Capt. Glenn Ryder, who still works for the sheriff's
office, said he laughed at the report, but met with the men. Parker and Hickson
stuck to their story.
After the formal interview, deputies left Hickson and Parker together in a
room with a hidden tape recorder, hoping to catch them in a lie.
"Me and the other investigator got up and left to let them talk, to see if
they were going to say, 'Well, we got them fooled,' but they didn't," Ryder
said. "They were really concerned."
On the tape, Hickson tells Parker, "It scared me to death too, son. You can't
get over it in a lifetime. Jesus Christ have mercy."
"I don't know what happened to them," Ryder said. "I wasn't there with them,
but I know you don't fake fear, and they were fearful. They were fearful."
The next afternoon, the story was splashed across the front pages of
newspapers in Pascagoula and Gulfport. Overnight, Pascagoula became a magnet for
news reporters and UFO investigators.
Widespread interest in UFOs began in the 1940s with an incident at Roswell
N.M., in which UFO enthusiasts believe the government got its hands on a crashed
UFO and alien bodies. The government spent decades denying it.
In the 1960s, interest flared anew with a series of reports, including the
purported alien abduction of New Hampshire couple Betty and Barney Hill in 1961.
The widespread attention to the Pascagoula encounter set off a new round of
reports.
In south Mississippi, hundreds of reports overwhelmed authorities in the two
weeks after the Hickson-Parker encounter.
There were hoaxes and humor too. A Long Beach, Miss., taxi driver told police
a being with pincers tapped on his window, a story he admitted days later was
fake.
A Mobile, Ala., television station said it would record a UFO appearance
predicted by a psychic between Mobile and nearby Pascagoula. Roughly 1,000 cars
converged on the spot, where nothing happened.
An Ocean Springs alderman proposed an ordinance making it illegal to operate
a UFO at more than twice the speed of light on U.S. 90, the coast's main drag.
Mayor Tom Stennis voted against the ordinance, joking he didn't want to
discourage tourism.
UFO skeptic Philip Klass believed Hickson and Parker's report was a hoax. In
his book "UFOs Explained," he noted Hickson changed some details of his story
and claimed a polygraph operator whose test Hickson passed wasn't up to the
task. Parker later passed a lie detector test himself.
Hickson would go on to appear on talk shows, give lectures and interviews,
and self-publish a book in 1983 titled "UFO Contact at Pascagoula." He reported
three more encounters in 1974, and said the aliens communicated to him that they
were peaceful.
"The only thing he wanted to do was let everybody know we were not alone,"
said Eddie Hickson, his son. "He didn't care if you believed him or not. If you
wanted to listen, by gum, he'd tell you."
"He could never understand why he was chosen," the younger Hickson added.
"But he never once told me that he wished it had never happened. Never."
Parker said the intrusions by curiosity seekers have become less frequent
over the years, but have never really let up. "You don't never have no privacy,"
he said.
Parker married later in 1973 and eventually took oil industry and
out-of-state construction jobs to escape the attention.
"By the time you get somewhere and they figure out who you were, I'd just
go," he said. "I'd just go find another job somewhere."
Parker attended some UFO conventions, and was once hypnotized by Budd
Hopkins, a noted UFO investigator. He briefly tried to capitalize on his story
in 1993 by starting a Louisiana company called UFO Investigations where he and
partners would produce television segments on the subject.
Parker moved to Moss Point in 2006 and in 2010 suffered a stroke that limited
him physically. He's on disability aid now, but sometimes boats by the site of
the encounter when he goes fishing. He said that just recently he met a woman at
a gas station who already knew who he was.
"I'm always recognized," he said.
There's no historical marker on the river bank noting the encounter, and
stores don't sell UFO souvenirs. But local people remember - though often with
skepticism and jokes.
For his part, Parker said he's had conflicting thoughts over the years about
that night in 1973. At one point, he wasn't even sure the creatures were aliens.
They might have been demons, he said.
"I'm a firm believer in God and where there's good, there's bad," Parker
said.
Associated Press writer Stacey Plaisance in Pascagoula, Miss., contributed to
this story. Jeff Amy reported from Jackson, Miss.
The UFO Masquerade - Dr Karla Turner's latest research & finding on UFO
The UFO Masquerade - Dr Karla Turner's latest research & finding on UFO
The UFO Masquerade: Dr. Karla Turner discusses her latest findings relating to her research of covert abductions of human beings by alien beings and human military personnel.
Dr. Karla Turner died of cancer on January 10, 1996, just a few short months after speaking at this UFO conference and being threatened for her work. She was just 48. Since then, several other people involved in UFO investigation have also experienced threats followed by highly unusual cancers. Several of her cases studies are now dead. Like so many things in life, that could just be a coincidence of course.
Dr. Turner's books are all out of print; in addition,"Taken" and "Masquerade" are both very expensive to obtain on the used market. They also happen to be two of the most important books ever written on the UFO abduction phenomenon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVWq7n6F_tk&feature=player_embedded
