NASA sued for failing to investigate alien life

NASA sued for failing to investigate alien life
The plaintiff in a new lawsuit accuses NASA of failing to properly investigate an object on the Martian surface that he believes is alive.
In mid-January, NASA’s Opportunity rover photographed a mysterious object on Mars that had not been there when Opportunity photographed the same location just twelve days prior. Dr. Rhawn Joseph filed a petition for a writ of mandamus in a federal court on Tuesday, January 28 in which he requests that NASA “perform a public, scientific, and statutory duty which is to closely photograph and thoroughly scientifically examine and investigate a putative biological organism.”

NASA has already inspected the mysterious object. And as Popular Science explains, “For the record: NASA has identified it as a rock. A very special rock, with rare properties, even. But definitely a rock.” The organization believes this rock was simply kicked up by the rover.
However Joseph disagrees with the rock explanation. It is his belief that the “rock” was in that location the whole time. It just took time for it to grow enough to become visible to the rover. Joseph asserts in the suit that “The refusal to take close up photos from various angles, the refusal to take microscopic images of the specimen, the refusal to release high resolution photos, is inexplicable, recklessly negligent, and bizarre.”

UFO on radar prompts Indian Air Force to scramble jet
UFO on radar prompts Indian Air Force to scramble jet
Radar at the Indian Air Force’s (IAF) Halwara air base detected a UFO moving towards India’s border with Pakistan sometime early last week.

According to the IAF, a Su-30MKI fighter jet was scrambled from Halwara air base to intercept the unidentified craft. The Economic Times reports that the slow-moving UFO, flying at 28,000 feet, was determined to be nothing but “a weather balloon [that] was flying with the wind towards the border and it returned from there after being airborne for around 20 minutes.”
Media reports also suggest that, during its attempt to intercept the UFO, the fighter jet came dangerously close to two civilian planes in the area. But according to the Economic Times, the IAF denies any “near-miss incident” took place. Still, India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is investigating the incident.
In late 2012, the Indian army investigated reports of more than one hundred UFOs along India’s border with China. Although some news reports asserted that the UFOs had been identified as Chinese sky lanterns, the last official word was that the objects were still being investigated, and remain unidentified.

They begin to reveal themselves in the Physical in Orbs Of Light/Plasma over Lake Erie.
They allow you to film them.
Your footage goes viral gaining worldwide attention.
Your footage lands you on a prime time TV show. On the episode, They decide to test your blood and it is revealed you do not have normal human blood, A very rare blood anomaly/bloodline that the world’s best military and civilian doctors are at a loss to explain?
The host of the show Legendary UFO Researcher William Birnes goes on to say “I’ve got a funny feeling that you are being recruited and there is a branch of the government that you’re being recruited for – that somehow, some way, you are a hybrid between “ET” and humans. And they are giving you a course of study preparing you to meet your ET higher self.”
Soon After the airing of this show You are indeed contacted by this branch of the government and offered a course of study.
Then you are met by beings claiming to be ET’s themselves, and these beings announce themselves as the Anunnaki, which is a term at that point in time you didn’t even know the meaning of.
These Anunnaki tell you that you yourself are an Anunnaki incarnated into the Nephilim Human/Anunnaki Hybrid Bloodline?
And then this secret branch of the government begins to inform and guide you to information to make sense out of all of this?

Michael Lee Hill and The Lake Erie Mass UFO Sightings In The News! – 2014 (HQ)
Michael is an award winning musician, filmographer and UFO experiencer. His footage of the Lake Erie UFO’s has created a Billy Meier like buzz and this unassuming rocker seems to have developed an intuitive relationship with these craft. In his home state of Ohio, Michael has been cataloging video after video of UFO’s over Lake Erie. What makes these different than most sightings is that the phenomena consists almost entirely of ‘Pulsating orb’s of light’ characteristics. Unusual lights seen changing colors, converging, and separating over the lake. Stories of the unexplained phenomena date back over 150 years to the indigenous tribes”. – The Unified Field (CKDU) Radio
Lake Erie Triangle UFO filmed by Michael Lee Hill
Michael’s Lake Erie UFO footage has been featured on The Discovery Channel, Fox News, MSNBC, CBS News, Coast to Coast AM, Rense.com, hbccufo.org and in the feature film’s “UFO’s unplugged with Dan Aykroyd”, And David Sereda’s latest film From Here To Andromeda which Michael also co-produced. Michael has most recently been featured on the History Channel’s “UFO’s Hunters” show and filmed a pilot for a Alien/UFO based show for Spike TV in 2012 that was never aired for various reasons.
“They are beautiful! Imagine a house sized ball of Light/plasma that is pulsating with what seems like the brightest most intense multidimensional colors I have ever seen. They usually appear as a single Orb. Then sometimes that Orb will “divide”, or another 2nd Orb will appear next to the first. Sometimes a third Orb will appear and then all three Orbs will join into a huge triangle formation and create what seems to be one solid Triangular craft. Amazingly enough, the UK Ministry of Defense actually has detailed the behavior of these Lake Erie Orbs of Plasma/Light perfectly!” – Michael Lee Hill
The Lake Erie UFO Case: an Outstanding Report! – Whitley Strieber
Monday, November 19, 2012
It’s not often that a UFO case gets such expert treatment as is seen here in Wes Penre’s deeply researched and careful analysis of the Michael Lee Hill Lake Erie UFO case.
Noteworthy is the fact that a documentary that was being done by Spike TV on Hill was abruptly cancelled by ‘higher authorities.’ As many who have gone down that same road know, all too often, UFO related projects are abruptly cancelled for unknown reasons by media at every level. It is hard to believe that some sort of intervention from the outside is routinely suppressing sensible and positive stories about this subject. – Whitley Strieber (November 2012)
William Birnes (UFO Hunters – History Channel – NY Times Best Selling Author) recently released a new book titled “UFO Hunters Season One” the book which features a chapter on the Michael Lee Hill personal ET contact case, This was due to being featured in the episode “Alien Contact” on the History Channel “UFO Hunters” TV show which detailed the the events surrounding two separate contactee’s lives and revealed some amazing revelations regarding ET/Human hybrids that was backed up by scientific medical testing performed by Harvard Professor named David Systrom.
“Of all the episodes in season 1 (UFO Hunters) it was the “Alien Contact” episode that, I believe, defined the show. The “Alien Contact” Episode became the the essence of UFO Hunters. Also Ironically enough, it was that same moment in episode 109 “Alien Contact” that got the show renewed for a second season. If you watch the show you know what I am talking about: The moment I turned to Terrell Copeland and suggested he was an alien hybrid. At which point Pat Uskert freaked out” – William Birnes
William Birnes
Legendary UFO Researcher Bill Birnes goes on to say in UFO Hunters episode Alien Contact “I’ve got a funny feeling that you are being recruited and there is a branch of the government that you’re being recruited for – that somehow, some way, you are a hybrid between “ET” and humans. And they are giving you a course of study preparing you to meet your ET higher self.
“In Regards to the Lights over Lake Erie I am not absolutely convinced that they are coming from conventional aircraft. As an investigator I must be completely objective with any UFO reports which has had multiple witnesses. BAASS employees are paid professionals, all the investigators are formal Law enforcement detectives who have a higher level set of skills and experience. MUFON Takes anyone who pays the money and passes the test and works for free. That does not make them a credible source for information for me to except they’re conclusion.” – Gary Hernandez Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies Investigator

President Eisenhower had three secret meetings with aliens in 1954 including the Anunnaki former Pentagon consultant and Military deep insiders claim!
President Eisenhower had three secret meetings with aliens, former Pentagon consultant claims Ex-President met with extra-terrestrials on three separate occasions at New Mexico air base Eisenhower and FBI officials organised the meetings by sending out ‘telepathic messages’
Eisenhower Met With ETs including the Anunnaki!
It’s a story that has circulated in and out of the UFO community for years: Did former U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower have three meetings with extraterrestrials?
Former Legislator Issues Statement on Official Eisenhower-Alien Meeting Brief.
How US President General Dwight Eisenhower sold out the human race in pact with rogue extraterrestrials?
In addition to President Dwight David Eisenhower (Ike) and other top brass, the Muroc Airfield meeting with extraterrestrials on February 20- 21 1954 was attended by a “Wise Men” group of four members of civil society, that is, those who were not politicians, intelligence agents, or members of the armed forces, all in their 80s. They were GERALD LIGHT, a metaphysical scientist; EDWIN NOURSE, a leading economist; JAMES FRANCIS MACINTYRE, bishop and head of the Catholic Church in Los Angeles; and FRANKLIN WINTHROP ALLEN, a well-known journalist.
Says exopolitics scholar Michael Salla: “The four represented senior leaders of the religious, spiritual, economic, and newspaper communities and were advanced in age and status. They would certainly have been plausible choices for a community delegation that could provide confidential advice on a possible public response to a First Contact event involving extraterrestrial races.”
The meeting was at once awesome and terrifying to most of the people present, who thought they had met supernatural beings and the world had come to an end. In a highly emotive letter to a confidante dated April 16 1954, Gerald Light underlined his fear, shock, and bewilderment in the following words: “I had the distinct feeling that the world had come to an end with fantastic realism. For I have never seen so many human beings in a state of complete collapse and confusion, as they realized their own world had indeed ended with such finality as to beggar description.”
The meeting was at once awesome and terrifying to most of the people present, who thought they had met supernatural beings and the world had come to an end. In a highly emotive letter to a confidante dated April 16 1954, Gerald Light underlined his fear, shock, and bewilderment in the following words: “I had the distinct feeling that the world had come to an end with fantastic realism. For I have never seen so many human beings in a state of complete collapse and confusion, as they realised their own world had indeed ended with such finality as to beggar description.”
Salla, citing Charles Suggs, whose father, a former Navy Commander, was present at the meeting, chronicles the proceedings thus: “Ike along with others…met and spoke with two white-haired Nordics that had pale blue eyes and colourless lips. The spokesman stood a number of feet away from Ike and would not let him approach any closer. A second Nordic stood on the extended ramp of a bi-convex saucer that stood on tripod landing gear on the landing strip… these visitors said they came from another solar system. They posed detailed questions about nuclear testing.”
“Beware of the Grays”
Physically, the Nordics looked like humans only they were larger in stature, about 7 to 8 feet tall. They spoke perfect, sweet-sounding English but with an accent. Their speech was conveyed rather mentally than verbally. “There was telepathic communication,” Salla says. “It’s as though you’re hearing a person but they’re not speaking.”
The technology they put on show defied belief. “During my two days’ visit I saw five separate and distinct types of aircraft being studied and handled by our Air Force officials – with the assistance and permission of the Etherians!…When the Aliens demonstrated their ability to become invisible along with mental telepathy, everyone there was terrified.”
The ability to disappear (an ability based on pure physics, not magic) and to communicate using thought (again something based on a mastery of biophysical science and not on supernatural ability) was what made Gerald Light characterise the aliens as “Etherians”, that is, people who do not dwell in this physical world but can in a flash enter and leave it at will, like “God”.
Not all history is recorded and not all history is known. Hence, we will probably never know the full details of the day-long meeting between Ike and the Nordics. What we know for sure is that the Nordics warned Ike about the Aliens – the Grays – who were orbiting the equator, that he should not have anything to do with them as they were a sinister race who would bring untold harm both to Earth and the human population.
The Nordics in fact proposed an alliance with Earthlings to fight the Grays and promised to help us in spiritual development. However, they insisted that an alliance with us would only be possible if the US and any other country on Earth got rid of their nuclear weapons and other armaments programmes.
The Nordics also offered Earthlings very advanced technology for the betterment as opposed to the destruction of mankind. “The Nordics offered to share their superior technology and their spiritual wisdom with Ike if he would agree to eliminate America’s nuclear weapons,” says Salla. “They were afraid we might blow up some of our nuclear technology and apparently that does something to time and space and it impacts on extraterrestrial races on other planets.”
It was a no-deal. Ike rejected the Nordic overture because he did not like the idea of getting rid of nuclear weapons. Apparently, he didn’t trust the Nordics. What if it was a ruse and all they were up to was to seize control of the planet eventually? The Nordics advised that Ike think the matter over again and left. But not before theyreiterated the warning “Beware of the Grays”.
MESSENGERS OF “CREATOR ENKI”
The titbits we have about the Muroc Airfield meeting do not expressly state that the Nordic Aliens were Anunnaki probably because this was obvious. But it is clear they were Anunnaki and were emissaries of Enki.
There are several pointers in this direction. First, they looked exactly like the Sumerians describe the Anunnaki in thousands of cuneiform clay tablets. In any case, the Anunnaki belong to an extraterrestrial race classified as Nordics – towering, albino-white, blue-eyed, blonde-or white-haired in the main (some Anunnaki are red-haired and green-eyed.) Second, the Nordics arrived rather fast, almost out of nowhere.
Their meeting was not scheduled: it was abrupt. What this clearly demonstrates is that they came not from deep in outer space, like the Grays did, but from within the Solar System. We know that the Anunnaki are present on the Moon, Mars, Jupiter’s moon Ganymede, and Saturn’s moon Titan. They could have scrambled from one of these locations at Enki’s electromagnetically relayed signal and with their superluminal spacecraft would have been on Earth in no time.
The Nordics were certainly messengers of Enki because they came in peace and were pro-mankind. When the Anunnaki were directly ruling earth 4000 years ago, they were in two factions. One faction was led by Enlil, the Bible’s Jehovah/Yahweh, and his clan, and the other was led by Enki and his clan. Enlil treated mankind as serfs or slaves and even wanted us to disappear from the face of the Earth. On the other hand, Enki, who created us, tried his best to elevate us to his equals and to do things that served mankind’s best interests. Needless to say, the Anunnaki team that met with Ike must have come from Enki.

How Scientists Hunt Space For Dead Alien Civilizations?
How Scientists Hunt Space For Dead Alien Civilizations?
‘Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ says Ozymandias’s ruined statue in the desert of Shelley’s imagination. Shelley’s sonnet is often interpreted as a sober warning that human works are fleeting, but when I read it as a young boy it kindled a sense of adventure; it suggested a wonderfully mysterious past beneath my familiar suburban surroundings.
We use the word ‘archaeology’ to describe this effort, because looking into deep home stars in a technological shell, or a swarm of spacecraft, in order to capture its energy. A sphere with the radius of Earth’s orbit would have an interior surface area 100 million times as large as the surface area of our planet. In 1966, Carl Sagan suggested that such spheres might be detectable, but he cautioned that they would be hard to distinguish from natural objects that gave off a similar infrared signature. Decades later, Carrigan would tell New Scientist that he wanted to try anyway, that he ‘wanted to get into the mode of the British Museum, to go and look for artefacts’.
True to his word, Carrigan has conducted a series of searches for Dyson spheres, following earlier work by the Russian astronomers Vyacheslav Ivanovich Slysh and MY Timofeev. Carrigan combed IRAS, the infrared sky survey that dates back to the 1980s, looking for the distinct infrared signatures calculated for this purely theoretical Astronomers are puzzled by them because globular clusters — ancient cities of stars that sit in a spherical halo around the seti. According to Deutsch, we can distinguish between ‘prophecy’ and ‘prediction’, with prophecy being the discussion of things that are not knowable, while prediction deals with conclusions that are based on good explanations of the universe. As prognosticators from Thomas Malthus to the Club of Rome have demonstrated, we may be able to identify problematic trends in the present that can be extended into the future, but we cannot know what knowledge we will acquire in the future to manage those problems. This is why no scientific era has succeeded in imagining its successor. The scientists of the late 19th century discovered this firsthand, when confronted with the emergence of quantum theory and relativity early in the early 20th. Both theories raised questions earlier theorists couldn’t have even formulated.
n the context of interstellar archaeology, the problem is that we have no analogues in our experience for what advanced cultures might create. Interstellar archaeologists are tasked with sifting through gigabytes of data, not layers of soil, but the principle is the same. In a recent paper with Robert Bradbury and George Dvorsky, Milan Ćirković offered a paradigm for a new SETI, one that would include not only searches like these but a wide range of ‘future studies’ that would encompass how a post-biological intelligence might emerge and make itself known — intentionally or unintentionally.
Finding the monuments of civilisations more advanced than our own would challenge us to place ourselves in a totally unfamiliar context, as cosmic newcomers who can suddenly aspire to long lifetimes. If we found a lost city in the sky, it might fire our imaginations. It might give us reason to think we’ll outlast existential threats like nuclear weapons and biological terrorism. An interstellar Hisarlik would tell us that some civilisations do survive these dangers and learn to harness immense energies to grow. Rather than despair, we may see their mighty works and rejoice at what we can become.

Clues to extraterrestrial life discovered in underground Antarctic lake
Clues to extraterrestrial life discovered in underground Antarctic lake
Clues to extraterrestrial life discovered in underground Antarctic lake
A newly discovered batch of microbial life has been found in a sealed brine lake located beneath 65 feet of Antarctic ice, providing scientists with a rare opportunity to examine how life may cope with extreme conditions on other planets.
A team of University of Illinois scientists have reportedly identified a diverse ecosystem in Lake Vida, an underground lake located in Antarctica. The findings, detailed in the Proceedings of the NationalAcademy of Sciences, shed light on the extreme limits at which life can live not just on Earth, but possibly alien worlds, including Mars, say scientists.
“Lake Vida is a model of what happens when you try to freeze a lake solid, and this is the same fate that any lakes on Mars would have gone through as the planet turned colder from a watery past,” says Peter Doran of the University of Illinois, Chicago, co-author of the study. “Any Martian water bodies that did form would have gone through this Vida stage before freezing solid, entombing the evidence of the past ecosystem.”
To investigate life in the sub-Antarctic lake the team of researchers collected samples of brine from ice cores. The results showed reduced and oxidized compounds as well as high levels of molecular hydrogen. To sample the unique environment researchers worked under secure, sterile tents on the lake’s surface to keep the site and equipment clean as they drilled ice cores, collected samples of the salty brine residing in the lake ice, and then assessed the chemical qualities of the water and its potential for harboring and sustaining life.
Geochemical analyses suggest that chemical reactions between the brine and the underlying iron-rich sediments generate nitrous oxide and molecular hydrogen. The latter, in part, may provide the energy needed to support the brine’s diverse microbial life.
“Geochemical analyses suggest that chemical reactions between the brine and the underlying sediment generate nitrous oxide and molecular hydrogen,” said
ass=”StrictlyAutoTagBold”>Fabien Kenig, also of the University of Illinois, in the press release. “The hydrogen may provide some of the energy needed to support microbes.”
While the discovery is seem as a major breakthrough in the search for forms of extreme life, scientists warn that the discovery reveals little if any information as to whether life exists in other isolated corners on Earth, most notably Lake Vostok and Lake Ellsworth in Antarctica.
“It doesn’t give us clues about whether there’s life in Vostok or Ellsworth, but it says that under these super-salty conditions, life does OK,” says Martin Siegert of the University of Bristol, U.K., and leader of an expedition to Lake Ellsworth.
The findings could provide NASA with key information as the space agency continues its search for life. The U.S. space agency is currently in the midst of its Mars Curiosity mission, with the main goal of revealing signs that life once existed on the Red Planet. The study’s findings could provide insight as to how life may exist in extreme environments on interstellar bodies throughout the solar system, including the moons Europa, Io, and Titan.
“This study provides a window into one of the most unique ecosystems on Earth,” said Dr. Alison Murray, the report’s lead author. “Our knowledge of geochemical and microbial processes in lightless icy environments, especially at subzero temperatures, has been mostly unknown up until now. This work expands our understanding of the types of life that can survive in these isolated, cryoecosystems and how different strategies may be used to exist in such challenging environments.”
According to Murray, additional research is needed to better understand how the microbes capture energy in order to survive the harsh conditions. The results of these studies could help explain the potential for life in other salty, cryogenic environments beyond Earth.
Funding for the Lake Vida research was supported jointly by the National Science Foundation and NASA.

Angel, Alien and UFO Encounters from Another Dimension
Angel, Alien and UFO Encounters from Another Dimension
Angel, Alien and UFO Encounters from Another Dimension The universe is so complex that even the greatest scientific minds on earth ultimately acknowledge that we do not understand the forces and true nature of the cosmos, let alone our place within it. Now for the first time, the un-seeable and unbelievable has been caught on video by multiple individuals who have not only captured mind bending video of Entities, UFOs and Angels, but have been profoundly affected by their experiences. Confronted by the unknown, they all share a deep and unwavering need to know and understand the phenomenon they are experiencing. These individuals did not seek recognition or compensation, they are driven by the questions: “Who are we? What is real?” The sky is alive and has been for millennia with non-human activity, much of which is not visible to the naked eye. See concrete evidence with real video from beyond human perception and discover a realm of fallen angels and otherworldly visitors in a universe that is beyond our comprehension. Dare to ask yourself, what is our place in the cosmos?

There are several researchers and believers out there who devote themselves to UFO sightings. But no one could ever imagine how Philip J. Klass spends almost all of his life on ufology and extraterrestrials.
A graduate of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering which he finished at Iowa State in 1941, Klass has been continuing his research onunidentifiedflying object even at age of 80. He wasstill working more than 40 hours every week to study ufo cases and other ufo-matters. He did not mind of responding to reports even it comes from distant lands such as Russia and India.
Klass shared that he conducted his first ever major examination of a ufo case in Socorro, New Mexico in 1966. It was about an unknown flying object with a shape of an egg that landed in the area. However, he also pointed out the one of the interestingcasesaboutaliensheinvestigatedwasa UFO-photo case wherein a glowing flying object that looked like a plasma was photographed by a teenager named James Lucci. The event was recounted in his book “UFOs: Identified.”
Moreover, Klass recalled that the case in New Zealand in 1978 was what he considers as the most time-consuming case he ever investigated. He explained that this case drew a lot of attention that even media coverage was involved because of the video footage of several diverse UFOs in the country.
When asked about the unforgettable 947 Roswell case, Klass believed that book authors made some editing to help the government hide the truth behind the claimed crash of a UFO in the area wherein the dead bodies of aliens were recovered by the military.
Klass had written several books about aliens and ufos, including his best-selling “UFOs Explained.” He was also working as aerospace journalist for Washington.

A Young Steven Spielberg Meets the President (Reagan) Grant Cameron, Presidential UFO On June 27, 1982, a year after Reagan entered the White House, Ronald Reagan made one of his most famous alien remarks when he hosted Steven Spielberg in the White House. Spielberg was at the White House to present a private screening of his soon to be released movie called “ET: The Extraterrestrial.”
Bush Says UFO Promise Still On Grant Cameron, Presidential UFO Therefore, when Cheney arrived in Roswell a few months later, many thought it was a sign of positive things to come. Cheney, to the disappointment of many UFO watchers, simply made his speech with no mention of E.T.s or anything remotely close, and flew on to Wyoming.

Ike and the Alien Ambassadors (Eisenhower) Peter Carlson, The Washington Post, February 19, 2004 Fifty years ago tomorrow — on Feb. 20, 1954 — President Dwight Eisenhower interrupted his vacation in Palm Springs, Calif., to make a secret nocturnal trip to a nearby Air Force base to meet two extraterrestrial aliens. Or maybe not. Maybe Ike just went to the dentist. There’s some dispute about this.
Jimmy Carter, the Nobel Prize, and Extraterrestrials Grant Cameron, Presidential UFO The most recent winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, former President Jimmy Carter, has long been interested in the peaceful co-existence of humans on this planet. If historic records are any indication, however, it appears that the former President has long held a similar interest in peaceful relations with extraterrestrials who might be visiting this planet, since his sighting of a strange unidentified object in Leary, Georgia in 1969.

President Eisenhower Meets the Aliens? William L. Moore, Gazette, Hollywood, California, March 29, 1989 The story about Eisenhower’s February 1954 trip to Palm Springs for a winter holiday, and his subsequent late Saturday night disappearance, has fueled rumors that Eisenhower traveled to nearby Edwards Air Force Base to meet with aliens. One of the best recounting of this rumor was done by William Moore a prominent California researcher who traveled to the Eisenhower Library to do research and actually interviewed the wife of one of the key witnesses to the story.
President George Bush (Sr.) and UFOs Grant Cameron, Presidential UFO Of all the Presidents that have been faced with the UFO problem, George Bush seemed, on the surface, to be the best qualified President to have been given the secret. He spent a year as Director of Central Intelligence, the head of the entire United States Intelligence Community for President Ford. Then as DCI, he was in charge of giving intelligence briefings to Jimmy Carter during his transition to the Presidency in 1976.
President George W. Bush and UFOs Grant Cameron, Presidential UFO The second strong indicator that Bush was not open to UFO disclosure came from the experience of John E.L. Tenney, the co-founder of M.A.I.N, or the Michigan Anomalous Information Network. His efforts to get campaigner George Bush to talk about UFOs met with the same failure that Peter Robbins had experienced.
President Gerald Ford and UFOs Grant Cameron, Presidential UFO Prior to becoming President Gerald Ford was a Representative representing Michigan in the U.S. Senate, and also Minority Leader in the Senate. In 1966 Michigan experienced hundreds of UFO sighting. The reports of weird dancing light produced quite a furor.
President Harry S. Truman and UFOs Grant Cameron, Presidential UFO President Harry Truman is the first President to have to deal with the UFO phenomena publicly. There may have been sightings and/or UFO crashes before Truman, but nothing that had to be dealt with publicly. More importantly, Truman was the first President who had to deal with the public relations problems that go along with the UFO phenomena.
President Jimmy Carter and UFO‘s Grant Cameron, Presidential UFO President Jimmy Carter has often been referred-to as the “UFO President” due to the fact that he publicly claimed to have had a UFO sighting prior to becoming president. Moreover, he was the only president on record to actually file a UFO sighting report related to his sighting. Thirdly, on at least one occasion while campaigning for president, Carter declared that, if elected, he would “make every piece of information this country has about UFO sightings available to the public and scientists.”
President Jimmy Carter‘s Actual UFO Sighting Report Grant Cameron, Presidential UFO Many internet sites display a UFO sighting report related to President Carter‘s 1969 UFO sightings. The NICAP report, however, is only a retyped version of the original report which was filed with the International UFO Bureau in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Below you will find the original handwritten report made by the Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter in 1973, along with the letter written to him by Hayden Hewes, the Director of IUFOB at the time, asking for the report. This copy was found at the Carter presidential library in Atlanta.
President John F. Kennedy and the UFOs: Was JFK silenced for knowing too much? Jim Marrs, 06/08/2000 President John F. Kennedy may have had more than the usual knowledge about UFOs, according to several credible sources. R
President John F. Kennedy and UFO‘s Grant Cameron, Presidential UFO As with many other U.S. presidents, there was a report that Kennedy had sighted a UFO. The event occurred in 1963, while boating off Hyannisport on Cape Cod. The object was “disc-shaped, about 60 feet in diameter, with a grey top, and shiny bottom.” It hovered above the water for 40 seconds, emitting a low pitched humming sound. Then it flew straight up in the air and was gone. Kennedy swore those present to keep the incident secret.
President Reagan saw UFO, often spoke of a world united because of alien invasion UFOUniverse, 1998 Supermarket tabloids, that strange breed of sensationalistic American journalism, have been talking for most of the decade about Ronald Reagan‘s fascination with things like astrology and space aliens. Little attention was paid to the matter … after all, the stuff was printed in the tabloids and nobody sane is supposed to believe in them. Yet truth is becoming stranger than fiction in the case of Ronald Wilson Reagan and some of his more curious remarks.
President Richard Nixon and UFO‘s Grant Cameron, Presidential UFO Even though the Nixon Presidency was short and rocky, a number of UFO stories and related space developments did take place. Nixon, for example, was the President who was able to take credit for an achievement dreamed of and initiated by President Kennedy. He presided over the landing of the first men on the moon in July 1969. Nixon described the Apollo 11 mission as the “greatest week in the history of the world since Creation,” a statement that brought criticism from his close friend Billy Graham.
President Ronald Reagan and UFOs Grant Cameron, Presidential UFO A question remains, however, as to how much of the UFO secret was given to Reagan the President. Reagan like the many Presidents before him had tens of thousands of issues being dealt with below him in the government. Only the most critical items were brought to the Oval office for his attention.
President’s Talk UFOs Grant Cameron, Presidential UFO The President of the United States of America is considered by many to be the most powerful man in the world. If that very powerful President is in change of the UFO cover-up, then that relationship is the key relationship to study in determining what is going on. If the President is not the head of the UFO cover-up, cut out of the loop by some Machiavellian group bypassing the constitution, then that is the key story to investigate. In short, the President’s relationship to the UFO situation is the key to understanding what happened, and how to end the cover-up. Rockefeller Tells Clinton to Tell All About UFOs (press report) New York Daily News, August 24th, 1995 President Clinton is being pressured to reopen supersecret government files on the world’s most baffling UFO incident. The man who wants the secrecy ended is billionaire philanthropist Laurance S. Rockerfeller, a personal friend of the president.

Searching for the Truth: Media Control and the Presidents Interest in Ufology Dennis Balthaser, Oct 18, 2001 When doing radio or TV interviews and lectures, I am frequently questioned about the cover-up of the Roswell Incident and other related topics.

The Role of the Presidency in the Politics of Disclosure: Part III – The Case for and against Gore Stephen Bassett, Paradigm Clock The public is fairly fed up with ludicrously expensive, winning-is-everything politics.

The Role of the President in the Politics of Disclosure – Part II: The case for and against George W. Bush Stephen Bassett Let’s get one thing straight right up front. The politics of UFOs, how the presence of extraterrestrial beings in our world, now, is going to affect you, your government, and every other person on the planet, is not only bipartisan, it’s transcendent.
The Role of the President in the Politics of Disclosure: Part I: The Decline of the Executive Stephen Bassett One of the most important political trends in the second half of the 20th Century is the weakening of the American presidency – important because of its role in the intricate, constitutionally structured checks and balance system mentioned in the first column in this series.

Vice-President Dick Cheney and UFOs Grant Cameron, Presidential UFO Because of Dick Cheney‘s high White House positions in past Ford and Bush Sr. administrations, the appearance of Cheney’s name on the George W.

Facts about UFOs You Should Know
Facts about UFOs You Should Know
We all have heard and read a lot about UFOs (UnidentifiedFlying Objects) through books, movies and news reports. However, our knowledge on this subject continues to be limited as the information about these flying objects is kept secret from the world. Nevertheless, the curious minds have collected boatloads of information to disseminate.
People from different countries and professions have reported UFO sightings but still no substantial evidence have been found to claim these sightings to be true. Some people believe in UFOs and some still consider them as science fiction.
Here are some interesting facts about UFOs:
1. UFO is not the only term used to refer to these objects. The term Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) is used as a broader term by investigators. Another term is OVNI – popularly used by Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian.
2. People from different locations and professions have reported UFO sightings. As per ufoevidence.org 5 to 7 percent people in the world have seen UFOs and 10 to 15 percent people know someone in their contact who have seen a UFO.
3. So far, no UFO has been tracked on radar entering the Earth’s atmosphere. As per the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP), some UFOs have unusual electromagnetic properties which disrupt microprocessors and adversely effect avionic systems.
4. There is a law in the US (under title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal regulations, implemented on July 16, 1969) which makes it illegal for US citizens to have any contact with the extraterrestrials or their vehicles.
5. Pilot Kenneth Arnold is known to be the first person to report UFO sighting on June 24, 1947. As per the report, he spotted nine disc-shaped objects flying over Mt. Rainer, Washington. A reporter labeled them “flying saucers,” and the term entered mainstream consciousness.
6. Flying Saucers from Outer Space was the first book to use the term “UFO”. The book was written by Donald E. Keyhoe in 1953.
7. 12,618 UFO sightings were reported to Project Blue Book between year 1947 and 1969. Project Blue Book was a UFO research agency that was headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Even till date, 701 of these sightings remain ‘unidentified’.
8. In the late 1930s, Orson Wells’ radio show The War of the Worlds was so realistic that hundreds of people thought America was really been invaded by aliens and UFOs.
9. On August 15, 2013 the CIA finally acknowledged the existence of Area 51. This area and its surroundings are strictly off limits for public access. According to some videos and articles smuggled outside, living and dead aliens and spacecraft of futuristic designs were found on this land. But government still denies these claims.
10. According to some UFO aficionados, the Men in Black (MIBs) really do exist, and have been hammering on the doors of alien witnesses ever since the first appearance of flying saucers in 1947.
11. Area 51′s nickname DREAMLAND was allegedly derived from an Edgar Allan Poe poem by the same name. It admonishes that “the traveler, traveling through it, may not-dare not openly view it; Never its mysteries are exposed, to the weak human eye unclosed”.
12. Betty and Barney Hill had the first alien abduction. They claimed to have been taken by aliens from a New Hampshire road.
13. UFOs have inspired many clubs and organizations, such as the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS), and the Fund for UFO Research.
14. The first photographs of a UFO were taken in 1883 by astronomer Jose Bonilla in Zacatecas, Mexico.
15. Most mainstream scientists consider UFOs (in their popular sense as extraterrestrial visitors) as so extraordinarily unlikely (though not impossible) as to deserve no investigation.
People are not [ready] yet, but we will keep trying to spread the message,” said Am Vichet, the head of the Cambodian chapter of the Raelian Movement, which believes a group of scientists created life 25,000 years ago in a laboratory.
The 41-year-old, who works at reproductive health NGO Marie Stopes, said he became a Raelian in 2007 after attending a lecture where the cult’s philosophy was explained.
I want to learn new things. Then, at that time, I joined a lecture and they showed me a video and I thought it was interesting. But it was not enough just to go one time; I wanted to learn more,” Am Vichet said.
His next step was to read a book penned by the group’s leader, Frenchman Claude Vorilhon, now known by his acolytes only as Rael” and who founded the cult in 1974. He claims to be a reincarnation of Buddha.
Vorilhon, then a journalist for a car magazine and test driver for his own car-racing magazine, says that, on Dec 13, 1973, he took a detour on his way to work and wandered around an inactive volcano near Auvergne in France.
There, he met an extraterrestrial called Yahweh Elohim, who explained the message”. It was simple: life on Earth is the scientifically engineered creation of an advanced alien civilisation, and Vorilhon’s mission on this planet is to prepare humankind for their eventual return.
One of the main goals of Raelism is to build a US$20 million (651 million baht) embassy for the Elohim, preferably in Israel. Perhaps due to Raelism’s symbol — a swastika enveloped in a Star of David — the movement is banned there.
So Raelians are looking eastward and, last January, applied to the Council of Ministers in a letter addressed to Prime Minister Hun Sen.
The project, which the letter states will generate several billion euros of revenue, as well as additional spin-off ventures”, will make Cambodians the first [people] to benefit from the Elohim’s highly advanced technologies”.
But more than a year after the application was submitted, Rael has yet to receive a response from Phnom Penh.
Ek Tha, a spokesman for the Council of Ministers, said that although he was not aware of the application, he would welcome an extraterrestrial movement in Cambodia.
I myself have researched UFOs and extraterrestrial life for the past two years,” he said.
To me, it would be great if we can start an alien movement or institution in Cambodia. We are not alone, my friend. When I tell my friends at work, nobody believes me.”
But any attempt to build the embassy may come up against practical obstacles, according to Dan Thibault, a French-Canadian who travels across Asia spreading Rael’s teachings and was in Phnom Penh this month to hold a public lecture.
ldquo;The problem is political … the problem is the extra-territoriality, the airspace. We need a protected airspace, like a no-fly zone over the embassy,” Mr Thibault said. The country that will organise the embassy will be the spiritual and cultural centre of the union to come. It’s a really big thing.”
Am Vichet explained how he began to accept the Raelians’ ideas after he read Vorilhon’s first book, The Book Which Tells the Truth, which Am Vichet recently translated into Khmer.
I started thinking what our natural state was, and one day you can see these things in the sky, and then I thought, ‘Oh, it’s true.’ And then that night I saw the lights again and after that I started to become a Raelian,” Am Vichet said. My life changed.”
The movement claims to be expanding in Asia, boosted by growing followings in China and Japan. Three Cambodians turned up to a recent meeting, at which Mr Thibault delved further into Raelian philosophy.
Life has been created 25,000 years ago. The Elohim came here, they were a group of scientists who had mastered DNA, and they created all forms of life on this planet,” he said.
They sent all the gods — Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, Moses — all the prophets sent throughout history. We live in the scientific era and at this time we can create life significantly in laboratories, which means we are equal to gods.”

The North has been at the centre of a large amount of UFO activity, including one of the most famous and credible sightings – and a well known hoax.
The former took place on September 19, 1952, during Operation Mainbrace, a huge NATO exercise involving 85,000 personnel from the armed forces of Europe and North America to show its might to the Soviet Union.
As part of it, an Irish squadron was posted to RAF Topcliffe in North Yorkshire. The incident – which last barely 20 seconds, – occurred as they watched a Meteor jet fighter returning to base. The following day Flight Lieutenant John Kilburn wrote a report based on the sighting witnessed by him and four colleagues.
He said as the fighter descended they noticed an object in the sky flying at 10 to 20,000 feet some five miles behind the Meteor. The object was silver and circular and appeared to be travelling much slower than the fighter but on the same course.
Flt Lt Kilburn described how it began to descend, swinging in a “pendular motion”, similar to a “falling sycamore leaf”.
At first they thought it was a parachute, then the Meteor turned towards Dishforth and the object followed but after a few seconds stopped its pendulous motion and descent and then began to rotate on its axis.
“Suddenly it accelerated at an incredible speed towards the west,” Flt Lt Kilburn wrote.
“The movements of the object were not identifiable with anything I have seen in the air and the rate of acceleration was unbelievable”.
There were several other sightings at that time and, reportedly, a radar confirmation of the incident. Copies of the report were forwarded to the Government and it caused a media storm.
As did the second incident which took place two years later in Cumbria.
It took place near the village of Torver in the Lake District of Cumbria, England and involved a couple of lads, aged 13 and eight.
They had gone on a walk to a place overlooking the ‘Old Man of Coniston’ taking with them a period Kodak box camera.
The older boy claimed he felt “an unusual urge” to keep climbing the hill then they noticed a UFO.
They then took two, slightly out-of -focus, photographs.
One of their dads told them to write a report and draw a sketch of what they’d seen.
The photos were developed and seemed to show an usual craft with portholes and bulbous projections suspended beneath it.
Meanwhile the dad notified the newspapers and the boys became overnight celebrities, even being interviewed by the private secretary of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
They later revealed it was all a hoax.
Over the years there have been many reports in the region of mysterious flashing lights, weird and wonderfully shaped craft.
All these episodes have been exhaustively documented.
The reports come from people from all walks of life, ordinary members of the public, the police force, the army . . . and even a priest.
Another well known tale – and certainly one of the most entertaining – is that of the Gateshead Grey when an Alien got more than he/she/it bargained for when it tried to a abduct a Geordie lad.
The boy has described how in 1940, when he was aged five, he had been on Saltwell Road in the Bensham area of Gateshead with a pal watching soldiers march past before going off to then returning to his home in Hedley Street.
He said on the way he was confronted by an “egg-shaped” craft surrounded by “bright light”.
The lad said he then saw three strange-shaped creatures ranging from 2ft to 4ft tall, all grey in colour, one looked like Big Foot while another had long flowing hair and a coat that partially covered a skeletal body and bat wings.
He claimed they spoke to him in perfect English and asked to examine him and took blood out of his neck.
The whole episode, according to his tale, lasted about 20 minutes before he was allowed to go.
When he told his parents, they thought he was kidding.
The next day, the lad said two men with black suits came to the house and warned him that if he said anything, he would disappear.
A few days later he said an alien tried to snatch him off the street.
He stumbled trying to get away but said his uncle saw what was happening and smacked it in the head with a shovel and killed.
According to the story it was put in a sack and taken to a local church where it was later taken away by the army and those who knew about the episode warned not to talk about it.
Over the years, the lad has occasionally - and a bit reluctantly - stuck his head over the parapet to talk about it fearing the ridicule he will receive in some quarters but is adamant it happened.
Recently released Ministry of Defence documents about thousands of UFO sightings between 1965 and 2008 include some fascinating ones from the region - including one about four North-East police officers spotting a UFO while on a dog training exercise.
The sighting occurred in Wear Bank Road, between Wolsingham and Hamsterley, in County Durham, in September 2005.
The report describes the UFO as being a three-dimensional diamond shape, similar in size to a large helicopter, with green lights on either side.
There was a red and white light on the centre of its body.
The officers from the Durham Police force, who were on duty at the time and about to commence the dog training exercise saw the object, which reportedly stayed on scene for about two minutes.
It moved slowly northwards when lights from a car were shone in its direction.
The report states: “It was sighted above the field adjacent to the road.
“No sound was heard. There were clear skies.
“It was reported to Durham Police’s air support unit and Durham and Tees Valley Airport.”
The officers were not named in the file and it states the MoD was unable to reply as there was no address included by whoever submitted the report.
A spokesman for Durham Constabulary said later their protocol for reports of any such sightings is to refer them to the RAF search and rescue and air traffic control in case it is an aircraft in distress.
Recorded activity in the North East
1942 Squaddie Albert Lancashire, 27, was on sentry duty near Newbiggin-by-the-Sea when he was zapped by a yellow light. He passed out and was overcome with a “floating sensation”. Two decades later he regained his memories of the events, and claimed to have walked up a beam of light and been taken aboard a craft by a pygmy-sized man.
1954 Mr W Brewis, a chemist and amateur astronomer, of Elderwood Gardens, Lobley Hill, Gateshead, who had watched the sky for years hoping to catch sight of a flying saucer, said he saw a formation of them flying “faster than jet planes” over Tyneside. Two of his colleagues saw them, too, from the laboratory of a Pelaw paint works.
1963 At 3.30am a father and daughter were driving home to Alnmouth from Leicester when they were suddenly aware of a huge, glowing object about 100ft above their car. Terrified, they screeched to a halt and sat clinging to each other as searchlight-like beams swept over them. The daughter just managed to make out porthole-style windows in the object before it shot off at a staggering speed towards the North Sea.
October 21, 1967: A member of the public reported seeing a UFO to a policeman. The policeman visited them and also witnessed it.
He said: “The sighting was of three triangular objects which were extremely bright to look at. They were visible for around half an hour. They were seen above the Tyne Dock in South Shields.”
1971 Dorothy Elsey could not believe her eyes when what she first thought was a plane crashing down to earth started hovering motionless above Alnwick Castle.
The object stood out against the deep blue night sky, a huge black cigar-shaped object surrounded by a luminous green glow.
1976 Doll-like figures were spotted in Fence Housescorrect, Houghton-le-Spring, in September 1976.
Two women spotted “large dolls” after encountering a small oval-shaped object. The “dolls” had long white hair, parted down the middle, and large round eyes.
1978 A 21-year-old Killingworth nurse reported seeing a cigar-shaped object from a distance of only a few feet as it glided between houses and then rose towards nearby flats.
1980 Design engineer Les Balsdon was among hundreds of people who spotted UFO activity in the region at the same time. He and his two young sons were walking near their Ashington home when they saw four or five objects, described as cigar-shaped with tails which glowed, moving in formation through the clouds.
1982 In March two Northumbria police officers saw a UFO hover over the Tyne Valley for more than an hour.
1982 New Year’s Day - Wallsend photographer Wendy Garratt reported seeing a mysterious flying object 10 to 15 times larger than a star which could be seen quite clearly.
1985 October, suspicions of activity were also raised at Newcastle International Airport. An air traffic controller and his assistant were spooked after spotting two objects in the sky above the airfield. The report reads: “Two objects observed by their lights, one bright and one dimmer.” The suspected UFO was also reported by someone outside the terminal airport, as well as a pilot flying six miles north of the airport in a light aircraft.
1987 A night security guard in Newcastle was baffled by a white lights hovering over the city. On June 30 he alerted RAF Boulmer to the flying saucer sighting, which he said lasted 15 to 20 minutes. The former member of the armed forces wrote: “A large, white light was travelling west to east. The other five lights travelled in various directions.”
1987 Meanwhile, three terrified Gosforth residents made separate reports of a green object in the sky above Newcastle in the same year, on March 6. One looked out of his window and was shocked to see what he described as a pale, bright, green object.
Then a third report came from a Gosforth resident, who made the sighting while outdoors in Longbenton. He saw a green sphere for five minutes and immediately alerted the police.
1988 September, Washington – four people reported seeing an object in the sky, which split into three circular parts of about 10 feet in diameter, according to government documents. The shapes changed colour from bright white to yellow. One of the discs moved north and changed into a ‘Z’ shape as the second disc appeared and followed the first shape. The third disc then moved in a westerly direction at very high speed.
1997 September, switchboards were jammed by callers who spotted a fireball hurtling over Alnwick, Northumberland. The British Geological Survey in Edinburgh, which has seismometers planted at 40 mile intervals across Britain, reported the fireballs had broken the sound barrier.
1997 A Northumberland man witnesses a “flying triangle” over Howick at around 6pm. It flies slowly in the direction of RAF Boulmer. On the same evening, a couple on Alnwick Moor independently report the same object 10 minutes earlier.
2000 A UFO is spotted over Wearside. Witnesses describe it as “silvery grey in colour, very flat, pear-shaped and about four to five feet long”. Newcastle Airport officials are alerted after a sighting three hours later above Penshaw Monument, near Washington.
2004 A Gateshead clergyman took a photograph of a mystery object in Blaydon.
“I woke with nature calling at around 2.15am,” he said. “When I walked out on to the landing the light was quite bright, most unusual for that time and in our area as there are no main roads, nor are there many outside lights.
“I looked into the sky to see what I could only describe as something rather odd.
“I went rather swiftly to the bedroom to pick up my mobile phone, unfortunately this was the only means of taking a photograph I had.
“I took two pictures of the light before it disappeared.
“It was hovering from left to right, and was extremely smooth, yet somewhat slow, the manner in which it disappeared was quite strange, it just turned off as if it was still there, but hidden.”
2005 A pilot’s close encounter with a UFO off the coast of Northumberland was revealed in long-hidden military files. Released reports said in July 1977, Flight Lieutenant AM Wood of RAF Boulmer reported seeing “bright objects hanging over the sea” including an object that was “luminous, round and four to five times larger than a Whirlwind helicopter”.
2006 A blurry picture taken on the North East coast, got American UFO spotters in a spin. Keith Saint, 38, of Maple Street, Ashington, Northumberland, was snapping the sky at Tynemouth pier when he discovered more than a sunset in his viewfinder.
The picture appeared on websites across the world and one theory was that Keith had snapped the Mantra Stealth aircraft – a mystery aircraft which can supposedly hover silently at 125,000ft, but whose existence is denied by the US military.
2008 Peter Jackson, a 30-year-old gardener who lived near Morpeth, Northumberland contacted our sister paper The Journal after seeing 15 unidentified flying objects while enjoying a barbecue with his family on Saturday night. But the sightings were later dismissed as Chinese lanterns.
Standing on back porch in Porter Corners NY, a suburb of Saratoga Springs and noticed bright object in sky larger and brighter than anything else. Object abruptly made fish hook turn heading in opposite direction towards moon. Screamed for my friend Ben as I immediately knew this object was under intelligent control and not of current technology. Object went a short distance and stopped dead and hovered for a few seconds and then streaked back the opposite way passing an on coming airplane at at least 20 times the airplanes speed. Made the plane look like it was standing still. 5 minutes later 7 fire and police vehicles came roaring by blazing their horns and sirens. Lived here 8 years and have never seen more than three or four go by. Chased them down and found them down a side road and were told to leave that it was just a fire??? Sounds a little like Kecksburg to me. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.
