Enjoy Dirk Vander Ploeg
Mentioned in not only a Nova documentary on PBS TV in the 1980’s but a book written by the first Director of Project Blue Book Captain Edward Ruppelt, “The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects ” released in 1956 is an obscure incident witnessed in the undisclosed air space over the US in 1948. By then many major UFO sightings rocked the world such as the Roswell Crash and the Kenneth Arnold Sighting with many more to come, yet this particular sighting stands out as a peculiar if not important reference to a technology that we are only now beginning to understand and implement, and that is stealth technology. Is it no wonder that our extraterrestrial counterparts operating here on planet earth would have already showcased their capabilities a long time ago? More...
LIGHT FORMATION OVER TUCUMAN, ARGENTINA! by Scott Corrales.
Contributing editor Guillermo Gimenez provides us the following photo from Luis Burgos's FAO site. The image, taken by Javier Lopez Posse, is accompanied by the following text: "Attention, Tucumán! Today at 09:03 p.m. I captured three white lights in the shape of a triangle (possible triangualr UFO) flying from East to West at a 60-degree elevation. I was looking at it from North to South, apparently heading toward Cerro San Javier. It gave the impression of being translucent, with white yet opaque lights. If anyone else saw or recorded it, please advise me privately." More... Also read: FRIGHTENED BY GHOSTS BY MOONLIGHT ON TOMBSTONES? - PART II

While the actual cause may never be known beyond a shadow of a doubt, it is nevertheless possible that an outside force acted upon the spaceship, an outside force that may have been set in motion many decades ago by the work of the legendary inventor, Nikola Tesla, and the shadowy scientists who followed in his wake.

OREGON LOCAL NEWS ITEM ON NYE UFO...AND THEN SOMEby Regan Lee.
Sadly, but not unexpectedly, this item from KVAL news is as vapid as main stream UFO reports insist on being. The comments posted are as equally ignorant. Yep, it's a UFO if you don't know what it the thing you saw was, as in: UFO is short for Unidentified Flying Object. This simple fact goes over the heads of most of the population who seem to think they're the intelligent ones by questioning such sightings. If I sound pissy it's because I am; fed up with this idiocy. By the way, I emailed Justin Templeton at KEZI news with a report of what I saw, along with the usual bio blurb; you know, I'm not a nut but writer and researcher blah blah. Never heard a word.

DEFINITIVE PROOF: WHAT EXACTLY IS IT? by Matt Brady.
This one has really been bugging me lately. Believer collect a piece of evidence, a video, a photo, even a hair sample and shoot from the rooftops this is definitive evidence. Then they stand aghast when the world doesn’t believe them. Here’s the problem, definitive evidence isn’t easy. Definitive evidence will probably never be a video or photo or even a footprint. Now a collection of hundreds of these, analysed by experts is getting closer, but the point is these things can be faked or misidentified too easily to accept as proof positive. Now there are things like DNA tests which could be considered definitive, however in order for these to be definitive the results must be replicated. That means if a lab claims to have found DNA from a Bigfoot, the results will need to be independently verified by others. More...
WHAT DOES THE WORD AURA MEAN? by Dr. Susan Shumsky.
Have you ever wondered, What is keeping my body alive? What energy gives life to my body with my first breath, and what energy will leave my body when I die? Let us consider some fundamental questions. Obviously you have a physical body, which seems to run by itself: Lungs breathe, food digests, and blood rushes through your veins. Yet what makes it breathe? What makes your heart beat continually? What keeps it running like a clock, and what makes it stop? The answers to these questions seem elusive. More...

AVIATION authorities have been left baffled after a UFO in the shape of a rugby ball reportedly passed within a few feet of a passenger jet near Heathrow Airport.
A pilot on the A320 Airbus reported the near miss to air traffic controllers, prompting an investigation. However, no one has been able to identify the object.
The aircraft was cruising at 34,000ft, around 20 miles west of Heathrow Airport, over the Berkshire countryside, when the captain spotted the object out of a left-hand side cockpit window.
It was said to be "cigar/rugby ball like" in shape, bright silver and "metallic" and travelling towards the jet. The pilot said he felt certain it was going to crash into his aircraft and ducked as it headed towards him, but it did not appear to make impact. He told investigators he believed the object passed "within a few feet" above the jet.
The sighting occurred in daylight, at around 6.35pm on 13 July last year". It has only emerged now, following publication of the report, which concluded it was "not possible to trace the object or determine the likely cause of the sighting". The incident was investigated by the UK Airprox Board, which studies "near misses" involving aircraft in British airspace. It ruled out other aircraft, meteorological balloons, toy balloons and military objects.
The report does not name the airline or flight involved, but the Daily Telegraph says the aircraft was likely to have been travelling between a regional UK airport and another in Europe. The A320 Airbus typically carries around 150 passengers.
Aviation staff detect around one unexplained flying object every month, according to figures from the National Air Traffic Control Services in 2012. The Ministry of Defence closed its UFO desk in December 2009, after which the Civil Aviation Authority decided to look into such reports from aircrew and air traffic controllers.

It is extremely hard to estimate dimensions without a frame of reference. If you don't know how far away the object is, size becomes rather indeterminate. Against a blue sky, or an over cast backdrop, it can fool you quickly.

That's just intellectual laziness, imho.
If we are going to consider ourselves people seeking truth / knowledge / wisdom then we have to be open to just about anything.
Otherwise, we are operating on assumptions too strongly and eliminating possible truths.
That isn't science, imho. That's using science to create a reality that makes us comfortable from a sociological point of view.

My wife and I saw an object last summer about 15-minutes before dusk. It passed almost directly over us and was only about 50-feet above the ground. It was traveling about 20-miles an hour and didn't make a sound. I first thought it was a drone, but then realized this thing didn't have any wings! What was it? I still don't know, but I can tell you this: at about 10-12 feet wide and 35-40 feet long, it was larger than any drone I've seen.

I once saw an orange party balloon while turning for an approach to a small airport in Kentucky. For several moments it had the appearance of a much larger, faster object that was maneuvering. I was low and slow and turned to keep it in sight and therefore was able to determine it was about 10 inches in diameter and very close.

Little Johnny is at it again... President Obama was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes.
They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asked the president if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy'?
So our illustrious president asked the class for an example of a 'tragedy'.
One little boy stood up and offered: 'If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy?'
'No,' said Obama, 'that would be an accident.'
A little girl raised her hand: 'If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.'
'I'm afraid not,' explained Obama. 'That's what we would call great loss.' The room went silent. No other children volunteered.
Obama searched the room. 'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?'
Finally at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand.
In a quiet voice he said: If the plane carrying you and Mrs. Obama was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy.'
'Fantastic!' exclaimed Obama. 'That's right. And can you tell me why that would be tragedy?'
'Well,' says Little johnny, 'It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss... and it probably wouldn't be an accident either.

Back to the future? Time travel missing on Twitter
By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Time travelers, if they really exist, seem to be keeping their adventures to themselves.
Researchers with perhaps a bit too much time on their hands conducted an extensive Internet and social media search for evidence of time travelers going back in history and then bragging about it online.
And they came up empty. No real life Dr. Who or Marty McFly from "Back to the Future" tweeting secrets a bit early.
Spurred by idle chat during Thursday poker games, an astrophysicist and his students at Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Mich., searched for mentions of Pope Francis and Comet ISON before they popped into reality. Francis was elected pope last March and ISON was first detected in September 2012.
The idea: If someone mentions a Pope Francis in a 2011 tweet, Facebook post or blog item, then they must have come back from the future with special knowledge.
But no one posted anything prescient.
And last September, the researchers asked people to tweet "#Icanchangethepast2" - but do it before August, a month earlier. Again, no one did.
The disappointing results, rejected by three physics journals, will be presented Tuesday at the American Astronomical Society conference in Washington.
If someone went back in time and said something to hint about the future, it would prove the concept of time travel, said astrophysicist Robert Nemiroff.
He said this was merely summer fun that cost nothing to do.
"This wasn't a major research push," Nemiroff said Monday at the astronomy meeting. "This was typing things into search engines. Billions of dollars are spent on time travel movies and books and stuff like that. This probably costs less than a dollar to check on it."
Nemiroff said this isn't his normal field and he didn't much believe in traveling backward in time before - and believes less in it now. "Unless I go back (in time) and publish lots of papers," he joked.
Other scientists didn't quite take it too seriously either.
Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb said in an email, "as anyone who uses online dating knows, the Internet is the last place to find the truth about the physical reality."

Publisher's Note:I am always intrigued when I come across a story about time travel. So I was happy to find this article writter by Victoria Woollaston.in the ConspiracyJournal.com newsletter. It is about researchers, investigators looking for time travelers on the Internet. Good read. Dirk
Anyone hoping to one day emulate the likes of time travellers Doctor Who or Marty McFly in Back To The Future has just been dealt a devastating blow.
Researchers from Michigan have scoured websites, search engine results and social networks dating back as far as 1996 in search of people who discussed select events before they happened.
They even asked time travellers from the future to tweet using a specific hashtag.
Yet despite comprehensive analysis of thousands of records, they were unable to find any evidence time travellers existed.
Since the late 1800s, writers and filmmakers have been obsessed with the allure and intrigue of time travel from H.G Wells’ 1895 book The Time Machine to the Back To The Future franchise and Doctor Who.
Inspired by this fascination, Professor Nemiroff, along with a MTU graduate Teresa Wilson, wanted to use the web to try and find evidence of people from the future living among us.
They began by selecting two events from recent history - the Comet ISON in September 2012 and the appointment of Pope Francis in March 2013.
They then scanned websites and search engine results for conversations or references to these events made between January 2006 and September 2013.
'Were a time traveller from the future to access the internet of the past few years, they might have left once-prescient content that persists today,’ explained Nemiroff and Wilson.

De bekendste UFO-meldingen in Duitsland
De bekendste UFO-meldingen in Duitsland
Er is de laatste dagen veel te doen geweest over de UFO die maandag in de buurt van de luchthaven van Bremen verscheen.
In Duitsland worden al bijna 500 jaar onbekende vliegende objecten gemeld. In de zestiende eeuw werd een houtsnede gemaakt van een UFO-waarneming boven Neurenberg.
Het werk van Hans Glaser laat diverse UFO’s zien die op 4 april 1561 boven de Duitse stad werden gezien. De houtsnede wordt bewaard in de Centrale Bibliotheek van Zürich in Zwitserland.
Volgens getuigen verschenen er honderden bollen, cylinders en sigaarvormige objecten in de lucht. Ze zagen ook een groot zwart driehoekig toestel en maakten melding van een crash buiten de stad.
Greifswald Lights
Op 24 augustus 1990 zagen vele getuigen onafhankelijk van elkaar formaties lichtgevende bollen in de lucht boven de gemeente Greifswald. Vanwege de vele video’s en foto’s die zijn gemaakt is dit één van de best gedocumenteerde UFO-waarnemingen in Europa. Men spreekt ook wel van de Greifswald Lights.
Tot op heden blijft de sighting onopgelost. Gerald Schwab, één van de getuigen, vertelde aan de Duitse krant Bild: “Ze bleven drie minuten hangen voordat ze plotseling snel accelereerden.”
Honderden toeristen en inwoners uit Greifswald, Rostock, Usedom en Neubrandenburg legden het fenomeen vast. De bollen vormden een ‘Y’ en waren in totaal ruim 30 minuten zichtbaar.
Frankfurt
De Hessischer Rundfunk, de openbare omroep van de deelstaat Hessen, maakte op 10 april afgelopen jaar melding van een UFO die de Duitse luchtverkeersleiding DFS voor een raadsel stelde. Het object zag eruit als een torso en werd gezien boven het platteland rond Frankfurt.
Een woordvoerster van de DFS zei: “Het gaat om een onbekend vliegend object dat we niet kunnen identificeren.”
Contributing editor Guillermo Gimenez provides us the following photo from Luis Burgos's FAO site. The image, taken by Javier Lopez Posse, is accompanied by the following text: “Attention, Tucumán! Today at 09:03 p.m.
I captured three white lights in the shape of a triangle (possible triangualr UFO) flying from East to West at a 60-degree elevation. I was looking at it from North to South, apparently heading toward Cerro San Javier. It gave the impression of being translucent, with white yet opaque lights. If anyone else saw or recorded it, please advise me privately.”
If it turns out to not to be a conventional object, this will be the first UFO photo received from South America in 2014.
Videographer David Vose believes he has discovered a planet that NASA knows about but has hidden the discovery of, using the images from when ISON was entering perihelion, when all eyes were on ISON, and a strange planet-looking “something” behind ISON, to which NASA scrubbed off their official photos.
What VOSE found hasn’t been mentioned nor discussed to date, and in his details he invites the “professionals” (who haven’t said a word about this planet-like object which is moving at a pretty good clip) to weigh in and correct him if he is wrong.
So, what is it? Is it a planet since it moves like one, acts like one and looks like one? Or is there a another explanation.
More importantly, why is NASA not acknowledging it? Has Vose managed to stumble onto the controversial Nibiru which some say definitely exists and others scoff at?
Evolution is still touted as the Devil's tool, debated and refused as required curriculum in science classrooms by religious fundamentalists who refute scientific findings.
Bacterial strains, now able to resist antibiotics, only fifty years in use, and malaria's total resistance to any of the last fifteen years' known cures, surely both illustrate and represent evolution, in its clearest sense.
Such minds assert and retort that the Devil plants dinosaur bones to confound us and that our Earth, as the Bible states, is merely 6,000 years old- Carbon 14 dating be damned- that man coexisted, lived with dinosaurs.
What can science do to deter such minds who deny the fossil record and who see, "The Flintstones", as a documentary?
Surprisingly, they may find it hard to deny DNA research findings.
Why?
Because even if they will not admit science into their classrooms or churches, they will admit it into their living rooms!
Through television crime stories, they're well acquainted with how DNA mirrors an individual’s unique identity and now from genome research we also know it reflects how closely related we all really are to one another and to all Earth life.
The Human Genome Experiment Research Project has determined some additional scientific findings that may furthur illuminate these unknowingly -television-educated Bible Thumpers.
Research has determined that the DNA relationships among ALL of Earth's organisms, are almost as alike as we are to all other humans.
DNA, Deoxyribonucleic acid, the building tool of living tissues and all of their functions, has molecular codes that regulate the output of genes, the timing and extent of protein-making, and these are remarkably identical and alike in almost all aspects from the oak tree to a human being, from a whale to a worm, with negligible differences.
Don't be fooled; despite the fact that we LOOK different, from each other, all over the world, or seem different from a tree or a whale, we, all of life, are a family and are all almost exactly identical in our DNA!
The genetic difference between individual humans today is minuscule – about 0.1%, on average.
What about being a "monkey's uncle"?
Was Darwin onto something?
Surprisingly, the species of African great apes, including humans, has a closer kinship bond with one another than the African apes have with orangutans or other primates.
DNA research cemented that fact.
The scientific surmise and prediction that was made in 1871 – that human evolution began in Africa, has been upheld by DNA research, as well.
Because of many billions of years of constant evolution, humans share genes with each other and all living Earth organisms.
The raw percentage of genes or DNA that organisms share, records their similarities.
Of course, we share more genes with organisms that are more closely related to us, but only a smidgen more.
Today's humans belong to the unique biological group known as Primates, and are classified with the great apes, one of the larger groups of the primate evolutionary tree.
Besides our distinct similarities in anatomy and behavior, our close biological brotherhood with other primate groups is delineated and indicated clearly, by DNA research evidences.
(“If we are going to teach creation science as an alternative to evolution, then we should also teach the stork theory as an alternative to biological reproduction.”
Judith Hayes)
It clearly confirms that our closest living biological relatives are indeed chimpanzees with whom we share many common traits.
However, we did not evolve directly from any of the primates living today.
Preachers, at revival meetings get, "AMENS!" when they hollar from the pulpit,
"Iff'en evolution is a happen'en, why don'cha see monkeys STILL a changin' to people, these a days!?"
Scientific research hollars back and tells them to seek more 'light' and less 'heat', in their boxed-in religious search, for understanding.
Divine creation is correct, but only for our souls' within these animal bodies, souls that recycle constantly, each time, moving closer, towards God.
Our bodies are protein nanotech, likely alien engineered, but are merely container to house the divine creation of our spirit.
It's amazing that "Creationists" won't accept this tweaking of knowledge!
DNA evidence from research clearly shows that our species and chimpanzees diverged from a common ancestor species that lived between 8 and 6 million years ago.
Also, the terminal, last common ancestor of monkeys and apes lived about 25 million years ago.
Our species’ almost negligible genetic DNA variation reveals a common African root for all people living today.
The movement of humans, the permanent migration dispersal to other continents, from Africa, began only a mere 60,000 years ago.
Human beings differ widely in skin color and other facile, superficial features, but these characteristics occur as gradients, not as separate geographic clusters; the pigmy and tall Nordic basketball player are closest DNA brothers.
Research into ancient DNA reveals amazing insights about ancient forms of mankind before Homo Sapien.
Ancient DNA has been found, recovered and analyzed in Neanderthal fossil remains.
These ancient preserved DNA molecules disclose the status of Neanderthals as a separate species, some characteristics of Neanderthal physical appearance, their likely speech capabilities, and population structure.
One species of humankind, living worldwide, is my family of mankind, an amazingly adaptable creature, Homo sapiens; written into our genes, and into the fossil and behavioral evidence, is our Family Story.
Evolution's rudiments, can be proved and explained remarkably easily, to any open mind: Ontology recapitulates Phylology.
It's that simple.
That is, the stages of development of an embryo, from a unicellular entity, to a fishlike entity with gills, to an amphibean-like entity, to a primate with a tail, within utero, mirror and reflect all the stages of evolution from our beginnings in the oceans, to our upright status now, as developing, evolving creatures, simians who knot neckties and ride aboard public conveyances.
Did I just now hear you say,"Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!"?
All forms of life farmed throughout the Universe may well be seen as an enormous molecular nanotech creation by a intelligent Creator using amino- acid -thoughts, expressed mathematically.
Crick, DNA's discoverer, perhaps, said it best:
"Life did not evolve first on Earth, a highly advanced civilization became threatened so they devised a way to pass on their existence.
They genetically-modified their DNA and sent it out from their planet on bacteria or meteorites with the hope that it would collide with another planet.
It did, and that's why we're here.
The DNA molecule is the most efficient information storage system in the entire universe.
The immensity of complex, coded and precisely sequenced information is absolutely staggering. The DNA evidence speaks of intelligent, information-bearing design.
Complex DNA coding would have been necessary for even the hypothetical first ‘so-called' simple cell(s).
Our DNA was encoded with messages from that other civilization.
They programmed the molecules so that when we reached a certain level of intelligence, we would be able to access their information, and they could therefore "teach" us about ourselves, and how to progress.
For life to form by chance is mathematically virtually impossible." (Crick)
Others' experiences with these proprietary alien pilots, of UFOs have made them keenly aware that we have been "created in their own image"
What can I possibly tell you about them?
Millions worldwide see and experience the precise same hallucination of alien abductions, and thus as a shared experience it is very objectively real, in every sense of what reality is.
There are many others who have not the dimmest idea, and who will never suspect that we, someone else's valuable property, are 'kept' on a planetary alien preserve that we call, Earth..
Can the public mind be lead to accept this alternative reality? To quote one abductee aware of the hybrid breeding efforts of her abductors states:
"A leap in consciousness will require a dissolution and restructuring of beliefs" (about the nature of alien reality concerning our origins.)
Contrary to the Bible, it appears, we were NOT ordained, by God, for this planet, but by reptilian overlords of the greys.
What of those who refuse awareness of UFOs and their pilots, those too busy with life to be alien curious?
For them to live unburdened by an insatiable curiosity to comprehend the mysteries of the UFO pilots in our immediate universe and their craftsmanship of our DNA, is quite an amazing thing, in itself.

"We are the products of editing, rather than of authorship." Wald, George
BIO:
Abductions and their remnant elusive memories have opened all this for Paul, a confirmed atheist, UNTIL Paul saw aliens float him out of his body, in his bed, at night.
Then, he knew that they were interested in an essence that he never suspected that he had, a nonphysical soul.
Our spiritual powers that interest and addict interdimensionals are the very powers that can be used to thwart further attacks.
They infect auras with attachments to themselves and ride the reincarnation roller coaster with human beings, as a sanctuary, to avoid the death that they fear and to steal the spiritual recycling that we have.
Souls are garnered, detoured from our natural spiritual evolution in Heaven.
These joyriding grays can be sinister, discorporate alien souls, stuck to our energies, who bring a new meaning to the concept of a silent invasion.

This is again the time of year that we start to look for more writers and editors for this blog. We are always looking for people who are excited about UFOs and also writing exciting and engaging articles for our ever expanding audience. I would love to hear your theories on UFO conspiracies and also on the phenominon in general. If you are interested in being a guest writer or guest editor please leave a comment on this blog post or any other and I will be sure to contact you. Make sure you leave your email address so I can contact you about giving you the proper credentials. I am happy to link to your site as well if you having your own UFO blog and want to guest post.
Thank you for your continued support of this blog and I look forward to talking with you.
There is renewed interest in this very odd 1950′s document that has appeared in the official FBI archive. The subject of the document is called “Flying Saucers” and there are discriptions of saucers being found in New Mexico.
The FBI has this week finally said that there is nothing new, that they DID investigate the claims of the saucers but there is no evidence of UFOs.
Anyway, it’s worth it for you to check out the document yourself:
So this is another compilation video of some of the better UFO sightings this month. To be honest most of these are certainly just military aircraft, but some are a bit more explainable. As we said before it was a slow month here for good footage so we’ll hope that April will bring better videos for us to check out.

UFOs over Virginia, Illinois on 7th January 2014
Latest UFO sightings2014 – New interesting video footage of some UFO lights forming a triangle – formation in the night sky above Virginia, Illinois on 7th January 2014 at 8:30 PM.
Witness said: At 8:30 pm my wife and I were traveling down Morgan st when I turned my head to the left and 3 large sets of strange reddish orange lights in the westrn part of the sky towards Beardstown. They were spread out in a triangle – formation. The light would apeared and would last about 3 seconds before they would disappear. As that light would go out at the same time next to it another light would begin to appear. This went on for a short while then as if there was nothing there they disappeared. I did manage to get sum video but it didn’t turn out very well.
Instead a Crop Circle made by Aliens it was a marketing stunt mean to attract free publicity made by one of the biggest computer graphics producer NVIDIA.

A Different Perspective - Creating Memories - MAGONIE
Pour l'ufologie comme activité anti-américaine, c'est Klass: "In 1983, Klass began an attack directed against the University of Nebraska because they were sponsoring a UFO conference. In a conversation with the university's administrator Klass charged that "ufologists 'seek what the Soviet Union does, to convey to the public that our government can not be trusted, and I resent it as an American citizen." He equated UFO research with communism, as un- patriotic and anti-American. Klass went on to phone faculty and further claimed that for the university to sponsor such a conference (UFOs) was comparable to the dilemma they would face if the American Nazi Party wanted to hold a conference there. Later CSICOP spokesman Mark Plummer wrote that he found nothing excessive in Klass's claims. " Don Ecker, liste UfoUpdate: http://ufoupdateslist.com/2003/may/m19-004.shtml
A Different Perspective - Creating Memories
This one, I’m afraid, is for the skeptics in the crowd. It deals with memory, how it is formed, how it is recalled, and what it means to those of us who conduct investigations of long-ago events. The problem is that most of what we believe about memory is about to be radically altered, and if we pay attention to the on-going research into memory, it can only lead to better information gathered about long-ago events.
First, let me say that I have known for a long time that memory is often hazy and sometimes radically altered in the mere process of remembering. In The Abduction Enigma we looked at the phenomenon of “flash bulb” memory, that is, those memories formed around some sort of important event. The old standby was “where were you when you learned the president had been assassinated?” The thought was that this sort of a memory was “burned” into the brain with greater intensity than the mundane memories of day-to-day life and would be recalled with much better accuracy.
But, according to Professor Ulric Neisser, who was at Emory University in January 1986 when the space shuttle Challenger exploded, this might not be true. He had a rare opportunity to study these flash bulb memories because of the Challenger disaster. The day after the spacecraft blew-up, he presented his first-year students with a short questionnaire that dealt with what they were doing, where they were, and what they remembered. Three years later he gave them the same questionnaire but asked one additional question. He wanted to know how accurate they thought their memories were.
According to the results published by Neisser and his graduate assistant Nicole Harsh, one quarter of the students didn’t have any accurate memories of the event. In one case a student said that he had been with his parents when he learned of the disaster, but the questionnaire revealed he had been at school at the time.
More important was the reaction of the students when confronted with the discrepancies. None disputed the accuracy of the written documents but one student, when shown the questionnaire said, “I still remember everything happening the way I told you. I can’t help it.” She was defending her memories that were clearly an invention of her own mind.
The other 75% of the students remembered some, most, or all of it accurately. Twenty-five percent remembered the disaster accurately, so we can see that not all those involved were wrong and some can accurately recall the “stored” events. It would be interesting to see how they remembered the events today, after so many years have passed but that research has not been attempted.
I say all this as introduction to a new study that suggests memory is even more flawed than Neisser and Harsh suggested. According to an online article in Wired (March 2012) by Jonah Lehrer entitled The Forgetting Pill Erases Painful Memories, and available at:
Consider the study of flashbulb memories, extremely vivid, detailed recollections. Shortly after the September 11 attacks, a team of psychologists led by William Hirst and Elizabeth Phelps surveyed several hundred subjects about their memories of that awful day. The scientists then repeated the surveys, tracking how the stories steadily decayed. At one year out, 37 percent of the details had changed. By 2004 that number was approaching 50 percent. Some changes were innocuous—the stories got tighter and the narratives more coherent—but other adjustments involved a wholesale retrofit. Some people even altered where they were when the towers fell. Over and over, the act of repeating the narrative seemed to corrupt its content. The scientists aren’t sure about this mechanism, and they have yet to analyze the data from the entire 10-year survey. But Phelps expects it to reveal that many details will be make-believe. “What’s most troubling, of course, is that these people have no idea their memories have changed this much,” she says. “The strength of the emotion makes them convinced it’s all true, even when it’s clearly not.
”Lehrer noted that most of what we thought we knew about memory going back to the ancient Greeks is in error. Lehrer wrote, “Since the time of the ancient Greeks, people have imagined memories to be a stable form of information that persists reliably. The metaphors for this persistence have changed over time—Plato compared our recollections to impressions in a wax tablet, and the idea of a biological hard drive is popular today—but the basic model has not. Once a memory is formed, we assume that it will stay the same. This, in fact, is why we trust our recollections. They feel like indelible portraits of the past.”
But, according to the research, this is all untrue. In studying memory, and the way it is stored in the brain, it seems that the memory evolves as it is accessed. Each time someone remembers something, it can be subtly altered. New information might be included, old information edited out, and anything that a person has heard about an event can be incorporated in the memory.
An example of this Lydia Sleppy, the teletype operator (well, secretary at a New Mexico radio station KOAT in 1947) who was typing the story of the UFO crash as told to her by Johnny McBoyle. According to an article by Bobbi Ann Slate and Stan Friedman in the Winter 1974 issue of Saga’s UFO Report, “As the woman began typing out the fantastic news item over the teletype to their other two radio stations, a line appeared in the middle of her text, tapped in from somewhere, with the official order: ‘Do not continue this transmission!’”
"In The Roswell Incident by Charles Berlitz and William L. Moore, the statement was, “Attention Albuquerque: Do not transmit. Repeat do not transmit this message. Stop communication immediately.”
She told me, in a February 1993 interview, “I don’t know how much I had typed but I was typing what John [McBoyle] dictated when the signal came on that this was the FBI and we were to cease transmitting.”
In her signed affidavit of September 1993, she said, “This is the FBI. You will immediately cease all communication.”
While it can be seen here that she clearly added the FBI to her story, what we don’t know is how it was introduced. It could be it was something that she remembered, or it could be that someone, asking about that communication wondered if it might not have been the FBI, and she incorporated the FBI into her memory. Clearly the memory has changed from the time it was first told and reported in 1974, until she talked to me and signed the affidavit nearly twenty years later.
What all this new research says to me is that memories, no more than a year old can be badly flawed. Memories that are accessed time and again, as most of those for the various “Roswell” witnesses have been, could easily be altered as they come into contact with new information.
Jason Kellahin, who was a reporter in 1947, told me, that they had been alerted to the UFO crash story in the morning and drove to the Foster ranch. Brazel, his wife and young son were there. Brazel took Kellahin and Robin Adair, the photographer into the field.
There is nothing in the record, anywhere, to suggest that Brazel was in the field with a balloon to be photographed and when Kellahin was in that field, Brazel was already in Roswell, in the hands of the military. These facts can all be documented by various newspaper accounts and the testimony of nearly everyone else interviewed.
Nearly everything that Kellahin told me was wrong and I know this, not because he was reinforcing the balloon explanation, but because the facts, established through documentation from the time, prove that his story is untrue… but I should be clear on this, I didn’t say he was lying. He seemed to have believed everything he was saying, it was just contradicted by documentation.
And that is the key here. How do we determine what is an accurate picture of the events of July 1947 and what is a combination of confabulation (that is, an unconscious filling in of details of a story) and memory reconsolidation which is the way memory is recreated in the brain?
The answer is use the documentation available to corroborate the stories, use the testimony of others who were involved as a way of testing the veracity of a story, and cross check the information with what the witness has said before.
This new information, from Wired, is a cautionary tale for us. While we know that many of the witnesses were telling the truth, as they remember it, we must be aware that they might not remember it correctly. This complicates the task of putting together an accurate history of the Roswell case, but it also provides us with information that will be helpful in determining what the truth is.
This one has really been bugging me lately. Believer collect a piece of evidence, a video, a photo, even a hair sample and shoot from the rooftops this is definitive evidence. Then they stand aghast when the world doesn’t believe them. Here’s the problem, definitive evidence isn’t easy. Definitive evidence will probably never be a video or photo or even a footprint. Now a collection of hundreds of these, analysed by experts is getting closer, but the point is these things can be faked or misidentified too easily to accept as proof positive. Now there are things like DNA tests which could be considered definitive, however in order for these to be definitive the results must be replicated. That means if a lab claims to have found DNA from a Bigfoot, the results will need to be independently verified by others.
And there is good reason for the this – proof of the paranormal is well, extremely significant. It would rock many accepted notions in science and leave many skeptics (including some influential scientists) red in the face. Definitive proof is not a word to be used lightly.
The reality is if something like ghosts really existed to actually prove their existence is going to be a task that takes decades to accomplish, not a couple of field investigations. This is something paranormal investigators and skeptics need to understand. There is no easy way to prove anything paranormal. Paranormal events by their very definition are outside of our current scientific understanding. If they are true they have gone unproven for so long because of the extreme difficulty in proving them. To expect every photograph, video or witness testimony is definitive proof is unrealistic.
To actually get to a point of definitive proof there are two paths. The first is to wait until technology advances to a point where we can measure the phenomenon or test possible hypotheses until we find a match. The other method is to build a mountain of research; but this research cannot be loosely gathered testimony and samples. The collection and analysis practices must be improved and we need a methodology to see how this evidence influences the validity of competing hypotheses. Hint: I’ve already been working on one.
Many skeptics claim there is no way to disprove the paranormal in the eyes of believers but this is in fact not true. Most believer are rational minded human beings and would accept a scientific explanation if it could be demonstrated repeating all of the characteristics of a phenomenon. In other words you can’t expose one UFO video as a hoax and condemn every UFO sighting as the same. We need to see your hypothesis put into practice and it has to match the reports.
The fact of the matter is all of the cases of suspected paranormal have a root cause. These cases don’t remain controversial because two sides can’t agree the phenomenon is proven or dis-proven; they remain controversial because neither side has demonstrated their hypothesis for a root cause is actually true. Until both communities can accept and understand this fact we will continue to have both sides on single-minded journeys to prove their own viewpoints when w really need to focus on improving the investigations and analyses of these phenomenon.
When Major Ed Dames predicted on his recent Coast to Coast AM show that 2014 was going to be a wild ride, and that this could very well be the beginning of the end, he wasn't kidding. On New Year's Day we reported breaking news about plumes of radioactive steam coming from Fukushima, and today, NBC News reveals breaking news that an X1 flare has burst from the sun aimed directly at Earth!
Earlier today, Major Ed Dames informed the Remote Viewing office that this is just one of the many things he was referring to on his recent Coast to Coast AM show. Today's flare won't be that disruptive, but it could have a small impact in terms of communications and satelite operation as NASA expects the CME to sweep over us somewhere around 3 p.m. ET Wednesday, but this is a definite sign of things to come and we're only one week into 2014. The flares surrounding the actual Killshot are going to be MUCH larger than anything we've seen before and this should be a wake up call for those not paying attention. Major Dames also reminded us that there are still several precursor events that need to occur before "the Killshot sequence" begins; which includes the prediction he made regarding North Korea.
SURVIVE 2014... AND THE KILLSHOT
In case you haven't heard by now, Major Ed Dames has agreed to hold one final LIVE Killshot event with sanctuary survival map for those that could not attend the previous sold out events, as well as a LIVE 2-day training course that will also discuss Killshot sanctuaries. This was announced on his recent Coast to Coast Am show and space it filling up FAST!

In World War II many pilots reported similar incidents...They became known as "Foo Fighters" objects that would follow aircraft for miles without hitting them.
The latest on ball lightning is considered to be created by underground earthquakes that perform something like static shock and energizes the air above sometimes 30 minutes before the quake can be felt. Leaving positive or negatively charged air particles might let a charged air pocket to follow a plane.
"Hey, Jimmy, what are you doin' with my rugby ball and that helium?"
They's aliens! I seed 'em.
With the use of so many drones these days, it will be difficult for the crazies to tell the drones from the really "interesting" UFOs.
The NSA on the job !
Drone.
Poor writing. Never mentioned the dimensions.
, bright silver and "metallic" ..with Happy Birthday on the side in pink letters
Are they illegal aliens? I bet if they lean to the left the can get all kinds of benefits and will be able to stay, just as long as they vote democrat.
Rich in New Mexico.
Has to be due to global warming.
Surprised they even released this report without explaning it away as natural phenomenon...
It was an artifact of America's increasing debt ceiling.
Illegal? No problem. They make an Executive Order for that!
It is extremely hard to estimate dimensions without a frame of reference. If you don't know how far away the object is, size becomes rather indeterminate. Against a blue sky, or an over cast backdrop, it can fool you quickly.
It was approximately 24 inches in diameter. Does that help?
I am not a believer of alien visitation and such things. But I really dislike those who dismiss all accounts of UFOs and call people crazy just because.
If you ever see something the mainstream news can't explain, keep it to yourself...or you are crazy!
Stay inside the 3x5 card of acceptable thought and make fun of those who don't. Ahhh....the spirit of the intellectual frontier.
I had forgotten those eerie reports! Thanks for reminding me.
It's the law of probability....
why would they make contact when we keep electing people like Obama, clearly no signs of intelligent life here.
So the long shot never happens?
I guess any time the odds are stacked one way, we should dismiss entirely the occurrence of an event of low odds.
That's just intellectual laziness, imho.
If we are going to consider ourselves people seeking truth / knowledge / wisdom then we have to be open to just about anything.
Otherwise, we are operating on assumptions too strongly and eliminating possible truths.
That isn't science, imho. That's using science to create a reality that makes us comfortable from a sociological point of view.
Hobama Choom needs a good ass kicking.
My wife and I saw an object last summer about 15-minutes before dusk. It passed almost directly over us and was only about 50-feet above the ground. It was traveling about 20-miles an hour and didn't make a sound. I first thought it was a drone, but then realized this thing didn't have any wings! What was it? I still don't know, but I can tell you this: at about 10-12 feet wide and 35-40 feet long, it was larger than any drone I've seen.
lol... yes, and at 34000 feet and traveling at 600 mph? Now that is some birthday balloon=
Yeah, cause the author should've fabricated that evidence. Let's say it was ohhhh 50/10/10 meters. guh.
I should add, on a scale of 1-10 for aerodynamics, it would get a zero, as its shape was like an upside down school bus without the wheels!
If citizens took their governments back they'd discover all sorts of interesting things that have been hidden from them.
These things are all government technologies and experiments.
Yet another of Obama's secret drones?
It can't be global warming. It's "climate change" now. You know, since the East Anglia bruhaha.
Interesting to think about, but warping space is possible, this gets around the whole can't go faster than light problem...
I once saw an orange party balloon while turning for an approach to a small airport in Kentucky. For several moments it had the appearance of a much larger, faster object that was maneuvering. I was low and slow and turned to keep it in sight and therefore was able to determine it was about 10 inches in diameter and very close.
It was Uncle Rico throwing a football over the mountain.
how did they rule out toy balloon?
Al Gore invented the UFO along with the internet and global warming.
occam's razor.
"Illegal" implies that we have rule of law in this country. LMAO! Thanks, I needed the laugh.
"So the long shot never happens?"
when the choices are "aliens warped space so they could visit earth" and "oddly shaped mylar balloon" no, the long shot did not happen.
Many things in heaven and earth are "improbable".
Probably just swamp gas.
ITS JUST CHINA SHOWING THE WORLD WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE USA SKIES.
When the USA was a supper power, we did those things to the Third World Nations, now China is doing it to this Third World Nation and there is nothing the USA can do to stop them.
Scientist are the worst at accepting things that do not fall within their criteria of what is possible. Little to no imagination. Plait and his Bad Astronomy IMHO are prime examples.
Klaktu nikto barrada
Model Rocket?
Sounds like liberal dogma
GB's fault.
With the likes of Red Lobster, Applebees, and the Golden Corral, the US is still the world's leading supper power. C'mon. What other nation offers Buy One, Get One Free?
Maybe it WAS a rugby ball.
Another comment section ruined by bad Obama jokes.
Obama derangement syndrome.
Are they time travelers? Just recently we learned that the Obama admin funded a study that looked for proof of time travelers on the internet, of course, wasting money while people are out of work & hungry is what they do best.
Because a toy balloon can't travel 90 degrees to the aircraft flight path... toward the aircraft ...at Mach 0.8.
If it appeared metallic then it would have shown up on Radar
I can image the way we look to them. A destructive civilization driving around in aluminum cans powered by liquified dinosaurs.. I'd be scared to meet us too.
Or maybe it was a punt from Mike Scifres of the San Diego Chargers that hadn't come down yet.
I'm going to go with a shiny, metallic, rugby ball/cigar-shaped thingy. That or super-model Claudia Schiffer; we haven't seen her for awhile.
Balloons don't float to 34k feet. But nice try.
spot on!!!
Or my favorite:
It was some swamp gas that got trapped in a thermal pocket and refracted the light from Venus.
Hat tip: Tommy Lee Jones MIB
A rugby ball is shaped like a football... not a rectangular box?
a toy balloon can travel 90 degrees to the aircraft flight path...anything can.
a toy balloon can travel toward the aircraft, or the pilot could have been wrong about that.
"at Mach 0.8".......that detail isn't included in the story. where are you getting that?
RIGHT...but mylar balloons wont reach anywhere near 34k... so it wasn't a balloon.
Wow those Brits can sure kick a ball!
Was it shaped like a Drink cart?
Im guessing that since the object passed within a "few feet" of the plane... he could give accurate dimensions.
Thats because we don't like him.
Maybe these "ancient aliens" are satanic and they're coming to take Obama back to Hell?!
>>> it was the planet Venus.
Who might "they" be?
A UFO is any flying object that has not been identified. Nothing about little green men, etc. _You_ have no place talking about intelligent life.
And, of course, these omnipotent and benevolent beings never EVER used ANY natural resources to become an advanced civilization. They all just held hands in a circle singing the alien version of Kumbaya and POOF, interstellar travel and everything. Just like that.
google "Test of Toy Balloons Performed For Federal Department of Aviation".
yes they can.
Why do all the remaining thinking people
only live in our mother country ?
One can hope!
LOL!!
I'm pretty hung up on the whole warping space theory. This however seems very promising:
en.(dot)ikipedia(dot)org/wiki/Nuclear_pulse_propulsion#Medusa
At 1/10 the speed of light, it's the fastest practical design I've seen.
I was raised on Edwards air force base. they are real and have been here before. they landed of the flight line in 1968 3 ufos fully documented
I didn't know there were any bad Obama jokes....at least its just a comment section being ruined, instead of the entire middle class of a country....
I have seen one and my brother has too
Soon all jokes on this subject will stop.
Shut up about Obama, such a easy jab isnt it.
Or 'super-sizing.'
Probably not.
Obama IS the joke...
When they see how shallow the gene pool is on this planet, I'm sure they will leave us to our certain fate.
any photos? a phone takes pretty good pics these days.
It's like you all have never heard of Quidditch.
HAUNEBU XXII
If the aliens are liberal they didn't build that.
He's a lost negro.
Like you do?
Bush's fault.
I've never seen one and neither has my sister.
Little Johnny is at it again... President Obama was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes.
They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asked the president if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy'?
So our illustrious president asked the class for an example of a 'tragedy'.
One little boy stood up and offered: 'If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy?'
'No,' said Obama, 'that would be an accident.'
A little girl raised her hand: 'If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.'
'I'm afraid not,' explained Obama. 'That's what we would call great loss.' The room went silent. No other children volunteered.
Obama searched the room. 'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?'
Finally at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand.
In a quiet voice he said: If the plane carrying you and Mrs. Obama was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy.'
'Fantastic!' exclaimed Obama. 'That's right. And can you tell me why that would be tragedy?'
'Well,' says Little johnny, 'It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss... and it probably wouldn't be an accident either.
just a new high-tech drone running a test flight...nothing else.... move on, sheep.
All the technology the world has mostly came from capitalistic ventures started here in the US of A. All these damned liberals that want communism and socialism tend to forget that their stupid iphones are a product of capitalism.
very easy, thank you.
You are really bright, aren't you? You think Heathrow airport and Berkshire are in the US. Or you somehow think that the US airspace extends to the British Isles? No wonder this country (US) is in so much trouble.
i am sure she has seen something cigar shaped
Thats Klatu barrada nikto. Yes, I know that makes me a bigger nerd than you. lol
It's a joke dude...lighten up Francis
Haunebu
Look closer to the warping of space/time, they have actually done it in experiments.
Dems will want to legalize them and chain them to the welfare state for another victim voting group.
;)
what only non-democrat politicians are fair game for barbs? If the readers don't do it, who will? 90% of the media is drooling still in complete idol worship of a leftwing politician of black skin tone who can read a teleprompter
That poor pilot probably just ended his career. They're supposed to keep 'mum' about these things.
oooooohhhhhh no you didnt
It was the new SR-72.
My brother and sister-in-law saw something in the desert on the way to California. They said it was a s
