UFOS, Winged Humanoids & Anomalous Events - PART II
UFOS, Winged Humanoids & Anomalous Events - PART II
The three visitors went outside for a look, trying to recover from their fright, when they noticed that ‘it’ was standing among the pear trees, standing at least a meter and a half tall, with outspread wings that measured three and a half feet on each side.
Ferrer wrote that “it was covered by glossy black skin, very clean and hairless.
It appeared as though it had recently emerged from the water, but without being wet.
It had a large head and a small beak, presenting a sort of crest which was apparently missing a piece from a fight.
Its eyes were immense and completely black, but sparkled brilliantly. They thought it was a prehistoric being, since its wings had a strong resemblance to those of pterodactyls or bats, featuring bone-like protuberances which form the skeletal frame of the wings.
Its legs were sturdy and had powerful claws like those of a carrion bird, but much stronger.”
‘MORE HISTORY’
In my readings of cases over many decades, reports said that the winged humanoid seen are often described as being “headless” – or having a very odd feature of what could be described as a ‘head.’
This description has been read before several times in John Keel’s ‘Mothman’ reports of 1966-67 from West Virginia, Ohio and parts of Pennsylvania.
In fact, some sketches depict the entity as just that, nearly ‘headless.’
Now, it is interesting to note that the rituals of the ancient Coptic Catholic church contain explicit prayers against the presence of ‘headless demons’, such as the one that appeared in the Zereteli-Tiflis collection.
I am a Gnostic Catholic. I served as an altar boy to our church and school’s pastor in the 1970s. I discovered that the head priest of our parish was also an exorcist who made me promise not to tell the other altar boys what he used to do for the Vatican.
I kept my promise; however, I asked him to answer my many questions (would you believe that the film the Exorcist’ had just been released at that time) and so he gave me a secret reading list that I spent years going over.
He also made me promise not to tell my mother. I didn’t, but she didn’t care what I wanted to read anyway, as much of it was way above her interest and she often shook that head when looking at all the books and materials I was reading.
Years later, when my mother saw the X-Files on television, she told my sisters that the character Fox Mulder was my son Teddy. She meant it too. (I guess she did snoop around looking at many of the texts I was reading…)
Anyway, one of the texts on my pastor’s list came out of this Zereteli-Tiflis collection.
I read what only can be described as materials that contained a spell to provide protection against headless demons and powers that are bothering the person invoking angels and archangels.
Another such amulet I read about, to my great surprise, invoked the Virgin Mary’s protection against a headless dog:
It read in part:
“… because I am having a clash with a headless dog, seize him when he comes and release me…”
Some pretty wild stuff, and at that time I thought that super-hero comics I read, like THE INCREDIBLE HULK was charged, but this stuff was way beyond any of that.
And, so, I began my studies of anomalies and UFOlogy. I was 11 years old.
The stories of winged humanoids, or the bat-winged, headless ‘Mothman’ of West Virginia also extends to other stories of a similar being that was seen landing on a field in the United Kingdom in 1965.
Then there’s the 1963 report from the Iberian Peninsula where Salvador Freixedo mentions, a hotelier, was driving toward Tarragona with his wife on a cold November evening saw something that scared the lights out of both of them:
They said that their drive was uneventful until “they saw a creature crossing the road at a distance of one hundred fifty meters, which they described as being generally man-shaped – but headless.”
Then, consider this odd case,
*August 10, 2004 -
Puerto Rico’s El Vocero tabloid ran a story about castaways from the Dominican Republic.
Seventy-nine people had boarded a fragile vessel in the hopes of reaching the Puerto Rico, and after twelve days at the mercy of the wind and the waves, only thirty-seven survived to tell the tale.
When interviewed by the newspaper, one of the undocumented survivors told reporters that, quote, “a monster” with vast wings appeared before them.
Filled with panic and fear, they began to read the New Testament out loud, but that the pages of the holy text vanished mysteriously from their hands!
Also consider this strange tale:
Chilean researcher Osvaldo Muray covered a story of apparent demonic possession in the high-rise community of Juanita Aguirre outside of Santiago de Chile.
A young lay preacher known only as “N.U.” became the subject of this possession event following a strange occurrence:
One evening in the early 1990s, a friend stopped by to visit “N.U.” and spoke to her from the street level, while N.U. looked out her window.
According to Muray, the friend noticed something very strange:
A very strange ‘bird’ was watching their conversation from the topmost branches of a pine tree close to the building.
Between the light and the shadows, the person on the ground realized that the bird was not a bird at all, but a winged human.
When interviewed, the friend told Muray that his “sixth sense” told him something was seriously wrong, and he advised N.U. to close her window and go to bed. He himself raced back to his automobile and headed home.
‘EVEN MORE ANOMALOUS HISTORY’
They are many odd reports of ‘winged humanoids’ and UFOs reported near coal mines, usually abandoned.
This is a common thread that connect anomalies of this sort to underground activity in several states and countries.
There is a bizarre legend and unsolved mystery that continued to haunt a small Iowa town for more than a century.
It has been the subject of a book called ‘The Van Meter Visitor: A True and Mysterious Encounter with the Unknown.’
The story goes like this,
For several nights in the year 1903, in the small American town of Van Meter, Iowa, the population was terrorized by a giant bat-like creature that emerged from an old abandoned mine.
The legend dates back to the autumn of 1903, when several of Van Meter’s most well respected citizens reported a half human, half animal with enormous, smooth bat wings flying around.
The creature was described as moving at speeds the people of the town had never seen before. This creature was reported to have emitted a powerful smell while shooting blinding light from a horned head.
Well, my astrological analysis of many of these events do show strange connections to planetary configurations. At this time, I will not go into the technical details.
However, suffice it to say, these are real beings, who apparently are on Earth and have been reported throughout the centuries.
My studies of Ufology basically comes down to the fact that it is directly connected to demonology, and so, what we have here are dark malevolent creatures intent on scaring the daylights out of human beings.
I consumed many books over my lifetime, including the works of Dr. Jacques Vallee, who wrote:
“We are dealing with a yet unrecognized level of consciousness, independent of man but closely linked to the earth.
“I do not believe anymore that UFOs are simply the spacecraft of some race of extraterrestrial visitors.
“This notion is too simplistic to explain their appearance, the frequency of their manifestations through recorded history, and the structure of the information exchanged with them during contact.”
“[An] impressive parallel [can] be made between UFO occupants and the popular conceptions of demons.”
“[UFOs can] project images or fabricated scenes designed to change our belief systems.” 62 “…human belief… is being controlled and conditioned,” and that “man’s concepts are being rearranged,” and we may be headed toward “a massive change of human attitudes toward paranormal abilities and extraterrestrial life.
“The ‘medical examination’ to which [UFO] abductees are said to be subjected, often accompanied by sadistic sexual manipulation, is reminiscent of the medieval tales of encounters with demons.
“It makes no sense in a sophisticated or technical or biological framework: any intelligent being equipped with the scientific marvels that UFOs possess would be in a position to achieve any of these alleged scientific objectives in a shorter time and with fewer risks.”
“…the symbolic display seen by the abductees is identical to the type of initiations ritual or astral voyage that is imbedded in the [occult] traditions of every culture.” Thus, “the structure of abduction stories is identical to that of occult initiation rituals.”
I would have to agree with this assessment.
Then there are the words of Lynn E. Catoe, who was the senior bibliographer for a government publication researched by the Library of Congress for the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research: UFOs and Related Subjects:
She said,
“A large part of the available UFO literature is closely linked with mysticism and the metaphysical.
“It deals with subjects like mental telepathy, automatic writing and invisible entities as well as phenomena like poltergeist [ghost] manifestations and ‘possession.’
Many of the UFO reports now being published in the popular press recount alleged incidents that are strikingly similar to demonic possession and psychic phenomena…”
I have to agree with her as well.
Then there is the journalist John A. Keel, who was one of the most informed people in the world on UFOs and author of the classic UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse:
Keel said,
“The manifestations and occurrences described in this imposing literature [on demonology] are similar if not entirely identical to the UFO phenomenon itself.”
“The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large, merely minor variations of the age-old demonological phenomenon.”
I suppose what makes me brave about all of this was my upbringing. Being born in 1963, and coming of age through the 1970s and 1980s helped me to digest more easily the anomalous world and UFO phenomenon and to know that demonology and UFOs are intimately connected.
Here’s an account from Whitely Strieber, the author of bestsellers about UFO encounters such as ‘Communion’ and ‘Transformation,’ -
“I became entirely given over to extreme dread. The fear was so powerful that it seemed to make my personality completely evaporate…’Whitley’ ceased to exist.
“What was left was a body and a state of raw fear so great that it swept about me like a thick, suffocating curtain, turning paralysis into a condition that seemed close to death… I died, and a wild animal appeared in my place..”
“They had changed me, done something to me…. I wondered if there was any relationship between my experience and the mystic walk of the shaman, or the night ride of the witch.”
“The visitors persisted in my mind like glowing coals… Whatever this was, it had been involved with me for years.”
“I felt their presence. It was palpable. Most upsetting, I could smell them.”
“What if they were dangerous? Then I was terribly dangerous because I was playing a role in acclimatizing people to them.”
“Increasingly I felt as if I were entering a struggle that might even be more then life-or-death.
“It might be a struggle for my soul, my essence, or whatever part of me might have reference to the eternal.
“There are worse things than death, I suspected…
“So far the word demon had never been spoken among the scientists and doctors who were working with me…. Alone at night I worried about the legendary cunning of demons…. At the very least, I was going stark, raving mad.”
“I felt an absolutely indescribable sense of menace.
“It was hell on earth to be there [in the presence of the entities], and yet I couldn’t move, couldn’t cry out, couldn’t get away…
“Whatever was there seemed to monstrously ugly, so filthy and dark and sinister. Of course they were demons…. and I couldn’t get away.”
As a Gnostic Catholic, it was easier for me to make the connection between ‘UFOs’ ‘aliens,’ and their strange creatures I suppose.
It appears to me that these ‘fallen ones’ are in-between worlds, appearing in our physical, temporal world from the lower spiritual worlds.
Either way, they appear to be in lots of trouble themselves, as the Most High God has them in His direct sights, and so they scurry on, to and fro, throughout the world, as they and their creatures, wait for the Day of Doom, which is coming for them and for some of the world.
It is written,
“…Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole Armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against Principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
Location. Butzbach, Hessen Germany Date: March 23 1980 Time: 03:20 a.m. The innkeeper of a local forest lodge was awakened late at night the by the incessant barking of the dogs. When he opened the door, two men wearing silvery suits stood before him, they then asked the witness in perfect German for a glass of water. The witness noticed that their facial features were almost identical to each other. Both had slightly tanned skin, dark hair and were bareheaded. He then accompanied both men to the dining room and asked them to wait by the counter as he got a bottle of mineral water. As he looked for the water, he heard the two strangers speaking in an unknown language. The men then drank the water thank the innkeeper and then promised to return in four months. The witness then watched the men walked across the yard of the lodge toward a nearby field. There he could see a very large flat object that shone with a dazzling light. This shocked him so much that he ran to the phone and called the police. When he went back to the door he observed as the disc-shaped object lifted vertically emitting a slight humming sound and shot away at tremendous speed. When the police arrived the object had already gone, but found the man to be absolutely sober and nervous.

Location. Bensalem near Greensburg, Pennsylvania Date: August 27 1973 Time: night Elsie Wainwright and her husband Alan sat on their back porch looking up at the stars. The cool breeze offered them a respite from the hot sticky, summer air. As both spoke Alan suddenly dropped his feet to the floor of the porch and exclaimed, “What the…?” Elsie looked back at the sky and gasped. A large boomerang shaped craft was moving across the sky. Blue lights outlined it, giving the craft a clearly defined shape. The moon backlit the craft further. It was not like any plane they had ever seen before. The craft stopped moving and hovered in place. Elsie and Alan were mesmerized. Suddenly the boomerang craft shot forward across the mountains, and then zigzagged back toward Beech Hill. The craft then dropped low below the tree line. The glow of the lights from the craft lit the sky above the hill. “Did that thing land or did it crash?” Alan asked. Elsie shook her head. Her voice was a bewildered whisper. “I don’t know. I don’t even know what it was.”With a determined look on his face Alan decided to go and investigate to see if “the thing landed or crash”. He thought that someone might need help up on the hill. He added that it could have been some sophisticated new plane the government working on. Elsie stood up and headed for the door. Suddenly she didn’t want to be outside alone anymore. Alan came out with his heavy duty flashlight and his .410 shotgun. He had two pumpkin ball shells in his hand and loaded them into the gun. He told Elsie to lock the door and wait for him to come back. Elsie nodded. She still felt uneasy but she knew it would do not good to voice her concerns. She watched from the kitchen window as Alan set off over the field toward Beech Hill. It was a good fifteen minute walk by Alan knew the terrain well. Alan was not thinking about UFOs as he flipped on his flashlight and stepped onto the path. He had never believed in UFOs but he did believe that the government created some really strange planes for spying on our enemies. Alan walked along the path until he saw the light in the distance. Suddenly he felt the hair on the back of his neck rising. Alan inched forward toward the lights but before he ever got close enough to see the craft, he heard a branch snap behind him. Alan whirled around and came face to face with a large figure. It was at least six feet tall and had black, beady eyes that blinked at Alan in the harsh light from the flashlight. He raised the flashlight so the beam of light was fully on the beast’s face. Alan froze in shock. The creature’s face was doglike and hairy. The beast stepped toward him and Alan brought his gun up, firing off one shot. The beast ducked out of sight and Alan ran past it back down the path down the house.

Professor: "Menselijk bewustzijn beïnvloedt onzichtbaar gebied tussen deeltjes"
Professor: "Menselijk bewustzijn beïnvloedt onzichtbaar gebied tussen deeltjes"
Professor emeritus William A. Tiller van de Stanford-universiteit doet onderzoek naar een fysieke realiteit die met bestaande meetinstrumenten niet te detecteren is. Op atomair niveau kunnen we nog wel gewoon metingen verrichten met traditionele instrumenten.
Tiller schrijft op zijn website over dit 'nieuwe' gebied, dat is gebaseerd op magnetische informatiegolven: “Het lijkt te functioneren binnen het fysieke vaccuüm, dus de lege ruimte tussen de fundamentele elektrische deeltjes die onze elektrische moleculen en atomen vormen, en is op dit moment onzichtbaar voor ons en onze traditionele meetinstrumenten.” Toch wordt dit gebied volgens Tiller op grote schaal beïnvloed door de gedachten van mensen.
Tiller spreekt tijdens een interview in de documentaire ‘What the Bleep Do We Know!?’ over de energie van de magnetische informatiegolven. Hij vergelijkt de potentiële energie van het gehele bekende universum met de potentiële energie van het vaccuüm in een enkele waterstofatoom. Eén atoom bevat een biljoen keer meer potentiële energie dan de ruimte van het bekende universum, aldus Tiller.
“Dat kleine beetje vaccuüm weegt meer dan de gezamenlijke massa van alle planeten en alle sterren,” zei hij. Aangenomen wordt dat het universum relatief vlak is. Tiller zegt dat hij in staat is om de onzichtbare informatiegolven te detecteren, maar alleen als ze interacteren met elektrische moleculen of atomen die we rechtstreeks kunnen meten. Deze interactie wordt gedreven door menselijk bewustzijn.
Zo lijkt een intentie die vanuit iemand wordt geprojecteerd het geleidingsvermogen tussen atomen of moleculen en het vaccuüm te stimuleren. “Bewustzijn opent de hogere thermodynamische staat [van het vacuümniveau] zodat we toegang krijgen tot de natuurkunde van het vacuüm,” zei Tiller. “Door toegang te krijgen tot die nieuwe natuurkunde is het mogelijk met behulp van intentie effecten te veroorzaken die je je amper kunt voorstellen.”
Het Wow!-signaal: Onderschepte buitenaardse boodschap?
Het Wow!-signaal: Onderschepte buitenaardse boodschap?
Het beroemde Wow!-signaal dat in de jaren zeventig vanuit de ruimte werd ontvangen, blijft tot op de dag van vandaag nog steeds raadsel. Wetenschappers die werkten met de Big Ear-radiotelescoop in de Amerikaanse staat Ohio ontdekten in 1977 een opname van een signaal uit de ruimte.
Het signaal duurde in totaal 72 seconden. Men spreekt van het Wow!-signaal omdat het in eerste instantie niet opgevangen of gehoord werd. Pas toen de computerdata werden geprint merkte men het signaal op. Big Ear maakte gebruik van twee hoornvormige antennes die de ruimte afspeurden naar signalen. Elke antenne wees in een andere richting. Het Wow!-signaal werd wel door de ene, maar niet door de andere antenne opgevangen.
Op basis van de opstelling van de antennes zou je verwachten dat het signaal na drie minuten door de andere antenne werd opgevangen, maar dat bleek niet het geval. Het signaal was afkomstig uit het sterrenbeeld Boogschutter en is nooit herhaald.
Het Wow!-signaal komt deze week voorbij tijdens de serie ‘Are We Alone’, uitgezonden door Science Channel. De serie bestaat uit vier programma’s waarin onder meer onverklaarde waarnemingen van NASA voorbij komen. Ook is er aandacht voor vermeende buitenaardse ontmoetingen en zogeheten superaardes, waar mogelijk leven kan worden gevonden.
Er is aandacht voor de UFO-waarneming van astronaut Leroy Chiao. In 2005 was hij gezagvoerder van het internationale ruimtestation ISS. Tijdens een ruimtewandeling met kosmonaut Salizhan Sjaripov zag hij plotseling een rij lichten boven de aarde.
Video: The Unexplained UFOs NASA Files: Are We Alone?
Once again, the Science Channel is reprising its popular extraterrestrial-themed Are We Alone? week.
As previous years have demonstrated, the Science Channel does an incrediblejob packing the first week of March with highly entertaining and provocative shows exploring UFOs and extraterrestrial life.
As the network explains, “This March, Science Channel returns with its programming event dedicated to one of mankind’s most pressing questions with ARE WE ALONE? – a week-long campaign dedicated to satisfying viewers’ appetite for aliens.” Science Channel’s executive vice president and general manager, Debbie Myers, states, “So many people are obsessed with the existence of aliens . . . ARE WE ALONE? ignites their imaginations with bold new questions, and engages current research happening in the field of extraterrestrial life. It’s programming that asks questions and makes you think. We hope ARE WE ALONE? advances the conversation even further.” . . .
A Stick Man climbing down apartment block (head first) – see the video below
I’ve heard of Shadow People and the likes of the Mothman but a Stick Man or a Black Stick Man might be stretching things a touch too far. But, there again, it’s often said that anything is possible.
Here’s a story / experience that JC sent, thinking it might appeal to me. This supposedly happened to a friend of his. Here we go:
“It was very late at night and me and the girlfriend, Liz, were walking home from a club in the Greater London area. There’s a park with lots of trees that is usually closed at night but was open for some reason, so we walked through the gate as it would be a short cut to home.
It was very dark but there was a proper path to follow with trees and bushes either side. We hadn’t been through the gate for more than a minute when Liz said, “Did you see that?”
I had seen something that appeared to move ahead of us. The moon was out so I thought it was trees blowing in the wind and making reflections.
“It looks like someone is coming towards us,” said Liz holding my arm more tightly.
Whatever it was kept on coming. I could see it, a tall thin man but very skinny. It got taller as it got nearer to us and I started feeling a little scared.
“What the hell is it?” Liz whispered.
I can only describe it as being like a stick man that kids draw. It was black, completely black and was wearing no clothes. It’s face was blank except what appeared to be an opening something like a round mouth.
Liz was freaked out but the stick man bounced by us like some sort of cartoon character. It’s head turned slightly towards us but it kept on walking, its long, thin legs and arms waving about as it passed.
We started to run. I turned round and the creature had gone but we hurried out of the far gate and kept walking fast until we got home.
We were both scared and locked the door of our flat. I don’t know what it was but we weren’t on drugs or anything.”
A stick man! Has to be something to take with a pinch of salt surely.
I did a Google search and there’s quite a bit about the Black Stick Man. On the Listverse website, for example, they have a post Top 10 Bizarre Modern Paranormal Phenomena and at number 3 is – yes, the Black Stick Man!
They describe this ‘Paranormal Phenomena’ as being:
” … totally black, thin, stick figure drawings, such as teachers would make in kindergarten. They have been reported as between average height to impossibly tall. Their heads are just a black circle with no facial features being discernible. They are totally two dimensional, without any depth. Usually they’ve been sighted walking along roads at night, or at transitional times such as twilight or just before dawn.”
Looking through the comments on the Listverse post there’s one from Simon Howes, written two years ago. He wrote this about his experience:
“In 1982, when I was a student nurse at Warley Hospital, Brentwood in Essex, England, I encountered a ‘stick person’ in the grounds of the Hospital as I was walking home one night. It lopped across the roadway having been, seemingly, pressed up against a wall. It stopped when it saw me and raised it’s arms in fright and quickly walked off into the undergrowth. It was very tall with very thin, extremely long arms and legs and a very small oval head. Totally black and no obvious clothing. I saw no face even though it emerged very near a street lamp and so was well illuminated. I was terrified and to this day, no-one believes me.”
Then on the Above Top Secret forum there’s this strange picture, which is said to have come from a “Spanish anonymous image board”. Here’s the photo.
So, I thought I’d have a look on YouTube to see what I could find and this is what I came up with. The scene is in Russia and a stick man like thing can be seen climbing down the apartment building. Only they now call ‘him’ a Slender Man.
With my pinch of salt still at the ready I did a Slender Man Google search. The first entry is Wikipedia and it does seem that Slender Man is fiction (but this doesn’t mean that Black Stick Man also is). This is what they write:
“The Slender Man (also known as Slenderman) is a fictional character that originated as an Internet meme created by Something Awful forums user Victor Surge in 2009. It is depicted as resembling a thin, unnaturally tall man with a blank and usually featureless face, and wearing a black suit. The Slender Man is commonly said to stalk, abduct, or traumatize people, particularly children. The Slender Man is not tied to any particular story, but appears in many disparate works of fiction, mostly composed online.”
Going back to the photo of the Black Stick Man I found on the Above Top Secret forum. I thought the following may have been significant because it had the number 67 on the entry!
This is the story:
“Yesterday at 20.30 hrs. just when I was about to leave the office I heard a very strange sharp buzz that came from the outside that made me look to the outside to see what it was about. When I looked in the direction the sound came from I saw a long and very thin shadow with a copper color that after a while of not moving it started walking towards the light.
It was in that moment that I got very scared because I could see clearly that it was not a normal person. It had no face and its body looked like a stick made of one piece. I went looking for my cell phone camera to take a picture of it and to my surprise, when I came back, that thing was higher than the wall of the building and it kept growing and stretching until it reached the second floor windows of the neighboring building. It suddenly jumped up the walls and began to climb up to the roof where I lost sight of it. I kept hearing the buzz for some more seconds until it disappeared completely. I was able to take pictures of it. I have spent the whole night thinking about it but I have no idea what could that be.”
There we go. It’s easy to chuckle about the likes of real Stick Men roaming the shadows at night – but how often does ‘reality’ follow fiction? Quite a bit.
A strange paranormal story today via Shiela about a weird creature who was spotted by two friends. It's very similar to stories told of The Mothman on the Exploring The Unexplained website.
"I was walking in the woods near to where I live with my friend James. This is something we often do.
"We came to a clearing when we saw a dead animal, which we took to be a horse. It was in a terrible mutilated state with it's head almost severed from it's body. We went closer and saw that the animals eyes were gone and two of the legs had been torn off.
"It was upsetting to see this but we kept on with our walk. A few moments later I saw something move to one side of me but as I turned to look whatever it was had disappeared.
"After a few minutes I heard a shrieking noise but James didn't hear anything. I looked behind me where the noise was coming from and I saw the scariest creature I have ever seen or want to see again. It was very tall, maybe 10 feet tall and was completely black other than for two eyes which were red and very large.
"I know that this may appear unbelievable but the creature had two black wings like those of an angel. It said something I didn't understand which was like a different language and then flew away.
"I saw this as clearly as I could see James but he says he saw and heard nothing and that I must have watched too many vampire films. But I did see it and I was shaking with fear. All I wanted to do was to go home. I know I will never walk in the woods again."

Did World War II Technology Allow Us to Begin “Seeing” UFOs
“The Man Who Takes Us to the Future” is the blurb across the front cover of this month’s edition of Wired Magazine, featuring an article on Marc Andreessen, described as “the most influential venture capitalist in silicon valley.” Andreesson, who is credited with inventing the web browser, is featured in the piece lending his own ideas about where future technology will lead us.
No doubt, these sorts of predictions, and especially the accurate manifestations of such technologies that will later ensue, could be described as “eye opening.” And yet, we probably take for granted to a great degree just how true this may be in a literal sense. If anything, the proliferation of advanced new technologies may literally begin to “allow” humans to perceive into new depths of Forteana, just as well. There is, in fact, some empirical data to back up this premise, especially if we consider a unique possibility: that are obvious reasons the UFO era really began to take hold during and immediately after World War II.
The “Foo Fighters” being reported by both the Allies and the Axis powers during the Second World War seemed, quite obviously, to be an alarming new “enemy” technology at the outset. During the War, the pilots who had been flying what were then the most advanced aircraft on Earth had reported being dogged by strange lights and other objects; it wasn’t until after the conflict that it became certain, with little room for doubt, that these “objects” hadn’t belonged to any of the major superpowers. But if not something of apparent human design and origin, whatthen?
To answer this great question would require an almost countless number of potentials to be thoroughly considered, despite the fact that, even today, the tried and true “extraterrestrial” hypothesis still remains the most prevalent stereotype theory about UFO origins. But let’s suppose for a moment that UFO craft–whatever they may actually be–had actually been present alongside humankind for much longer? Jacques Vallee and several others have supposed such scenarios might explain various early reports of strange aerial phenomenon over the centuries, in addition to drawing parallels to a variety of different elements involving faerie tales and folklore from various traditions around the globe.
If we are indeed dealing with a technological presence that could have been running parallel to humankind for much longer than most realize, It seems very likely that World War II would have served a pivotal role of presenting great necessity for wartime innovation, which thus led to the creation of technologies that allowed us to begin to better perceive and study UFOs.
Chief among such technologies are radar systems and radiation detection apparatus. While devices used for the detection of radiation had existed already for a couple of decades by the time the Second World War broke out, Geiger counters along the lines of what we use today weren’t perfected until around 1947; coincidentally, this was the same year Kenneth Arnold claimed to witness UFOs over the Northwest as he flew over Mount Rainier, a well as the year the infamous Roswell UFO crash took place. Within the subsequent released Project Bluebook files, we certainly see mention of strange objects capable of producing large amounts of radiation. Throughout the UFO literature that would persist over the next few decades, we would often find this to be a measurable, and even dangerous quantity.
Another technology that might have allowed limited ability to “detect,” and therefore observe UFOs to some degree, would be the aforementioned radar systems. While major world superpowers had been developing radar in secret prior to WWII, again, the practical use of such systems would only be perfected during the years of conflict. History shows, as many of you have probably already surmised, that radar systems would eventually prove quite beneficial in detecting strange objects (or entire fleets of objects) that appeared to be flying overhead nearby… and yet which, rather strangely, appeared to be invisible to the naked eye! Strange though it sounds, UFO literature is rife with these very sorts of stories, which quite obviously detail an advanced technology which, as a result of our own advancing intelligence, had slowly began to move into our range of perception.
So considering that our own technological advancement over time may have literally contributed to the otherwise “timed” appearance of UFOs as a cultural phenomenon after WWII, can we expect to see technology over the next few years molding and shaping our ability to perceive other things about reality itself, and perhaps the “hidden” aspects of this existence that may already be hovering all around us? I’m often asked these sorts of questions in interviews, and the short answer is “yes.” If anything, the advanced technologies that begin to emerge over the next two decades may render it all but impossible for the existence of such things as UFOs to be denied much longer… and when that happens, what kinds of innovations could we expect to stem from the potential for interaction with an intelligence even greater than our own? Food for thought, perhaps…
Back in January of this year, I penned an article for Mysterious Universe titledRoswell: Multiple Realities and MIB. It looked at the controversial scenario of how shifts in what we perceive as “reality” might allow for more than one theory for the Roswell affair to have merit. Granted, my article was purely speculative in nature, but it did provoke some interesting comments. It also provoked the question: exactly how many theories are there for what happened on the Foster Ranch, New Mexico in the summer of 1947? Well, the answer is: a hell of a lot! Incredibly, at least fourteen!
While some of those theories are well known – to the point of having now become legendary – others are far less so. And with that in mind, I figured it would be a good idea to acquaint everyone, once and for all, with the many and varied scenarios that have been posited for the truth behind the Roswell enigma. So, where do we start? The beginning, where else?
No-one disputes that something came crashing to earth in the wilds of New Mexico in early July 1947 – not even the world of officialdom. Indeed, history has shown that shortly after rancher Mack Brazel stumbled upon a large amount of mystifying material on the Foster Ranch (and possibly upon a number of unusual corpses, too – it has been suggested), staff at the Roswell Army Air Field issued a press-release stating that they had recovered nothing less than a “flying disc.”
Of course, this was barely two weeks after the famous UFO sighting of pilot Kenneth Arnold at the Cascade Mountains, Washington State – an event that near-singlehandedly gave birth to the “flying saucer.” Today, we have almost seventy years of “modern era” UFO reports to scrutinize – something which has allowed the extraterrestrial theory to develop and be widely embraced.
But, it’s difficult to say for sure the extent to which the concept of “flying disc = alien spaceship” was widely accepted, just barely two weeks after the Arnold affair. In other words, when the military said: “Yes, we have recovered a flying saucer,” it mayhave meant they had an extraterrestrial vehicle in their hands. On the other hand, it could also be interpreted as: “We have recovered a bunch of odd-looking wreckage that we think might be connected to those weird things in the sky people have been seeing for the last week or two – whatever they may be.”
Regardless of which scenario is correct, however, it is an undeniable fact that the recovery of a flying disc was confirmed – which is just one of the many things that make Roswell such an intriguing and enduring case. It’s also a fact that, in barely no time at all, the flying disc story was retracted and in its place the weather-balloon scenario surfaced. That’s two explanations in two days. In the years that followed, a dozen or so additional theories surfaced – some more plausible than others.
In no particular order of merit, here are the other theories that have zero to do with alien spaceships or weather-balloons:
1.An Atomic Bomb
The late Jim Keith was the author of a number of conspiracy/UFO-themed books, including Casebook on the Men in Black; The Octopus (co-written with Kenn Thomas); and Black Helicopters Over America. In a small article titled Roswell UFO Bombshell, Keith described meeting with “a longtime researcher / instructor of engineering at a school in New Mexico” who claimed to know the truth of Roswell. As for what Keith was told, it goes like this:
“According to my source, the true story behind the alleged UFO crash was that there was an accident involving a B-29 flying from the Army Air Force Base in Sandia (Albuquerque) to Roswell…my source states that either an atomic bomb or what is termed a ‘bomb shape,’ or ‘test shape,’ the shell of a nuke lacking explosives and atomic capability, and sometimes filled with concrete to add weight, was accidentally or purposefully jettisoned above Corona, New Mexico, directly on the flight path between Sandia and Roswell. Along with the bomb, metal foil used for radar jamming, termed ‘chaff,’ may have also been dropped.”
2. Underground Civilizations
In 2010, Anomalist Books published the final title from the late Mac Tonnies: The Cryptoterrestrials. Highly thought-provoking and deeply controversial in equal measures, the book focused on the idea that UFOs are not the products of alien races, but of very ancient, terrestrial people that dwell deep underground and who masquerade as extraterrestrials to camouflage their true identity.
Tonnies speculated that the Cryptoterrestrials are likely very impoverished, but utilize subterfuge, hologram-style technology, and staged-events to suggest otherwise to us. He even theorized they may have made use of large, balloon-style craft, too. And on this very matter – of the Cryptoterrestrials using balloons in covert missions – Tonnies said: “Maybe the Roswell device wasn’t high tech. It could indeed have been a balloon-borne surveillance device brought down in a storm, but it doesn’t logically follow that it was one of our own.”
3. Stalin, Mengele & Secret Experiments
Annie Jacobsen’s book, Area 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base, created a huge wave of controversy when it was published in 2011, and chiefly for one, specific reason. The book includes a story suggesting that the Roswell craft and bodies were, in reality, the diabolical creations of a near-Faustian pact between the notorious Nazi (and “Angel of Death),” Dr. Josef Mengele and Soviet premier, Joseph Stalin.
The purpose of this early Cold War plan: to plunge the United States into a kind of War of the Worlds-style panic by trying to convince the U.S. Government that aliens were invading. And how would the plan work? By placing grossly deformed children (courtesy of the crazed Mengele) inside a futuristic-looking aircraft designed by the brilliant aviation experts, the Horten brothers, and then trying to convince the U.S. of the alien origins of both. Unfortunately for Stalin – we are told - the plot failed when a storm brought down the craft and its “crew” in the wilds of New Mexico; an event that did not lead to widespread panic, but that instead was hastily covered-up by U.S. military authorities.
4. Demons from Hell
Of all the books I have written, it’s accurate to say that the most controversial is Final Events. It deals with the work and theories of a quasi-official group within the U.S. Government that believes the UFO mystery is one of demonic origins. Yes, fork-tails, horns, fiery pits, maybe even spinning heads - that kind of thing. It must be stressed that the conclusions of the group were chiefly belief-driven, rather than prompted by hard evidence.
One of the conclusions of the group – that nicknamed itself the “Collins Elite” – was that Roswell was nothing less than a brilliant Trojan Horse. For the members of the Collins Elite, deceptive demons had, essentially, used a kind of “cosmic alchemy” to create both (A) the so-called ”memory-metal” found by Mack Brazel on the Foster Ranch; and (B) the curious bodies – or body-parts – also located on the ranch. In other words, Roswell – perceived by the Collins Elite, at least – was an ingenious ruse, a staged-crash, designed to have us believe vulnerable ETs are in our midst, when it’s really the all-powerful minions of Satan.
5. The Crash of a V-2
Although no longer active in the UFO community, Timothy Cooper provoked a wealth of controversy in the 1990s, thanks to an enormous body of allegedly leaked, and, supposedly highly secret, documentation in his possession on everything from crashed UFOs to alien autopsies, and from sinister deaths in the UFO field to alien viruses. One such document – titled UFO Reports and Classified Projects – offers a non-UFO-themed explanation for what occurred at Roswell. The relevant extract reads as follows: “One of the projects underway at that time incorporated re-entry vehicles containing radium and other radioactive materials combined with biological warfare agents developed by I.G. Farben for use against allied assault forces in Normandy in 1944. When a V-2 warhead impacted near the town of Corona, New Mexico, on July 4, 1947, the warhead did not explode and it and the deadly cargo lay exposed to the elements which forced the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project to close off the crash site and a cover story was immediately put out that what was discovered was the remains of a radar tracking target suspended by balloons.”
6. The Dummies of Roswell
When personnel at the Roswell Army Air Field announced, in July 1947, that they had recovered a crashed flying disc, one thing was 100 percent absent: any mention of bodies. And, needless to say, the body angle was also absent from the hasty follow-up explanation of a weather-balloon recovery. The body angle was also denied in the Air Force’s July 1994 report on Roswell (titled Report of Air Force Research Regarding the Roswell Incident), as the following extract shows: “It should also be noted here that there was little mentioned in this report about the recovery of the so-called ‘alien bodies.’ The wreckage was from a Project Mogul balloon. There were no ‘alien’ passengers therein.”
Three years later, however, things had changed. In a new document – The Roswell Report: Case Closed – it was stated: “‘Aliens’ observed in the New Mexico desert were probably anthropomorphic test dummies that were carried aloft by U.S. Air Force high altitude balloons for scientific research…The reports of military units that always seemed to arrive shortly after the crash of a flying saucer to retrieve the saucer and ’crew’ were actually accurate descriptions of Air Force personnel engaged in anthropomorphic dummy recovery operations.”
And, that’s where Part 1 of this article ends. In the second-part, you’ll become acquainted with an equally varied body of even more explanations for Roswell. Somewhere within this entire, confusing mess, the truth of Roswell just might exist…

Evidence Of Ancient Stone Constructions 12,000 Years Old In Peru? The stone pyramids on the sites are thought to be contemporary to the great pyramids of Giza. Unusually among Andean cities, no evidence of fortifications, or of other signs of warfare, have yet been found in the Norte Chico. The oldest known civilization in South America, as well as in the Western Hemisphere as a whole, the Norte Chico civilization - c. 3200 BC – 1800 BC – comprised several interconnected settlements on the Peruvian coast, including the urban centers at Aspero and Caral.
This massive-stone phenomenon is of course found all over the world, e. g. Stonehenge, Baalbek, Egypt and also in some of the recent underwater Atlantean discoveries. It shows a worldwide massive megalithic culture reflecting amazing powers of organization, precision, perseverance, mathematics, astronomy of our ancient people.
A unique system for tapping underground water sources was developed in the drainage of the Rio Grande de Nasca in Pre-Columbian times. This technique involved the excavation of horizontal trenches and tunnels to reach subterranean aquifers that hold water deep beneath the ground. Still in use today by the inhabitants of the valley, these tunnels, wells and trenches are known collectively as puquios.
The ancient people of Peru built water-moving and preserving technologies like the aqueducts of Cumbe Mayo(c. 1500 BCE) or the Nazca‘s underground aqueducts called Puquios (date uncertain), or the terraced gardens of the Huari. Aqueducts were also utilized by the Moche.
Another technique used to adapt the steep land of the Andes Mountains for farming was through terracing. The Chavin, the Moche, and the Incas built terraces, or flattened areas of land, into the sides of hills. The terraces reduced soil erosion that would normally be high on a steep hill. These terraces are still used in Peru. The Incans also irrigated their fields with a system of reservoirs and cisterns to collect water, which was then distributed by canals and ditches.
The need for a supplementary source of water can clearly be seen in the statistics regarding the available water resources today. Modern observations indicate that in the middle portions of the tributaries of the Rio Grande de Nasca, the rivers carry surface water only two years out of seven (Schreiber and Lancho 1995:231) When water does flow, the volume is far below that of other valley systems further to the north. Within the Nasca drainage, the southern tributaries of Aja, Tierras Blancas, Nasca, Taruga and Las Trancas have the least amount of water.
“The Aja River….has an average annual flow of only 30.27 million m3 of water, compared to 198.05 million m3 of water that flow down the Rio Grande (Onern 1971). The amount of water is simply not sufficient for the inhabitants, past and present, especially during times of drought.

1947 is known as the year of the first “wave” of modern flying saucer sightings. A study of U.S. newspapers that year documents over 832 sightings in the United States just in the thirty days between June 15, 1947 and July 15, 1947. For the entire year there were over 1,500 reports. Included on this website is a CIA report tracking saucer sightings in 1947. This report was secret and withheld from the public for decades
The Kenneth Arnold Case
This is the first key flying saucer case of modern times. As you can see from my sections, ‘Ancient Alien Sightings’ and ‘Aliens in Ancient Art’, reports of flying objects are certainly not unique to our century. However, this is the case that caught the attention of the media and re-informed the contemporary world that flying saucers existed.
The Facts
Kenneth Arnold was a private pilot and a businessman. He was also a member of the Idaho Search and Rescue Mercy Flyers and a Federal Deputy Marshall. On June 24, 1947 Arnold joined in a search mission to find a Marine Curtis C-46 transport plane that was believed to have crashed in the Cascade Mountains.
While flying at about 9,000 feet at 2:00 p.m., Arnold saw nine silver disks moving in formation directly across his flight path. He estimated them to be about twenty-five miles away. Since they were unusual, to say the least, Arnold decided to time them to estimate their speed. He checked his watch as they passed Mt. Ranier and again when they passed Mt. Adams. It took them 1 minute and 42 seconds. After landing and checking the distance between the two peaks, Arnold realized the disks had been traveling over 1,700 miles per hour! This was twice the speed of sound, and the world airspeed record in 1947 was only about 650 miles per hour!
Not only Arnold, but people flying in a nearby Douglas DC-4 also saw the flying disks. In addition, disks were seen by hundreds of people on the ground. The disks made no sound. They were completely silent. In an interview with The East Oregonian newspaper, Arnold said: “They flew like a saucer would if you skipped it across the water.”
When the Associated Press picked up the story, they called the disks “saucer-like objects.” From this, the term ‘Flying Saucer’ was officially made an integral part of the human language. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.

UFO mania: (Video) Astronaut Talks About His Encounter With UFO
Leroy Chiao is not known to be a publicity seeker or a connoisseur of mind altering substances. He’s known to be a pioneering astronaut and recently decided to talk about an encounter in space that he can’t explain. UFOs are usually the stuff of movies or conspiracy theorists but in 2005, Chiao noticed something that has him wondering about “life out there.”
In 2005, Chiao was flying high as commander of the International Space Station. Living there from October 2004 until April 2005, Chiao got to see some things that he didn’t expect. While he and Russian cosmonaut Salizhan Sharipov were taking a stroll outside of the ISS something caught Chiao’s attention. The two were putting together some navigational antennas 230 miles above the ground and flying at 17,000 miles an hour when something went by them, traveling even faster.
Chiao says that he saw some lights that he thought were in a line. When the lights flew by him, Chiao thought it was “…awfully strange.” Sharipov didn’t see the lights. He was looking the other way. Chiao’s experience is one of several stories that will be told on an upcoming program on the Science Channel.
One theory for Chiao’s sighting of a UFO is more down to earth than a fly by with a space ship. The lights, according to the theory, were bright lights from a fishing boat several hundred miles below the free-floating astronaut. It’s easy for many people to believe that Chiao witnessed a spacecraft. As an astronaut, Chiao doesn’t believe that there is any evidence that an intelligently controlled craft from another planet has ever visited Earth.
“I’m skeptical of claims…” said Chiao about the stories he’s heard about Earth being visited by aliens. He doesn’t just dismiss the idea out of hand. “I don’t rule it out 100 percent. I have an open mind and I do believe there’s other life in the universe.”
Another piece of photographic “evidence” of UFOs existence is an image made during the 1972 Apollo 16 moon mission. One of the shots contained in a film canister brought back by moon-hiking astronauts was an image of something that resembled a “traditional” flying saucer positioned just above the horizon.
More recently, UFO hunters believe they have found proof of a UFO streaking through the Martian sky. In an image taken by the rover Curiosity, a possible craft can be seen leaving a trail in the Red Planet’s atmosphere. An enlargement of the image, posted by UFO hunter, StreetCap1, shows a cone with a spherical top and a rounded center body. The image is one of several that people have claimed show mysterious objects.
Skeptics say that it’s more than likely just a meteor.
In May 2013, a blogger, who specializes in science, claimed to see a lizard wandering around Mars’ surface close to the rover. That claim, which was posted on one of dozens of online UFO sightings websites, got some conspiracy theorists thinking that NASA is planting life on the planet.
The rover, Curiosity, touched down on Mars on August 6, 2012. It has spent its time checking out the landscape and analyzing the geology of the planet. Costing $2.5 billion, the rover’s main goal is to see if the planet has, or ever had, the chemical makeup to support life as we know it.
While Chiao is finished being an astronaut and moved on to other careers, science fiction fans and conspiracy theorists still stand in the backyard gazing up at the stars and wondering if we’re truly alone.

The Aurora Borealis, normally only visible inside the Arctic Circle, has been seen lighting up skies as far south as Essex.
People across Britain and Ireland have been taking in some of the stunning views and sharing their photos on Twitter.
Last night, the lights were clearly visible in Glasgow, Orkney and Aberdeenshire in Scotland, at Preston in Lancashire and in Whitley Bay, North Tyneside.
:: Have you seen the lights? Send your images to news@sky.com
However, the brilliantly coloured natural phenomenon lit up skies as far south as Gloucestershire, Essex and Norfolk.
Alex Green, who was on the Norfolk Coast, said: "Clearly visible with the eye even this far south!"
Richard Wilson, from Guildford, Surrey, saw the aurora from the air. He tweeted: "Great view of the northern lights from 30,000 feet over Scotland tonight. Awesome sight!"
The fantastic display is caused by collisions between gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere with charged particles released from the Sun's atmosphere.
It comes after a major solar flare earlier in the week.
The variations in colour are due to the type of gas particles colliding.
The Northern Lights were discovered in 1621 by French scientist Pierre Gassendi, who named them Aurora - after the Roman goddess of dawn - Borealis, the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas.

Bevat Marsmeteoriet bewijs van buitenaards leven?
Bevat Marsmeteoriet bewijs van buitenaards leven?
Zijn er sporen van leven aangetroffen in een meteoriet van Mars? Een groep wetenschappers zegt dat microscopische tunnels in een stuk steen van de rode planeet lange tijd geleden kunnen zijn gevormd door organismen. De studie is gepubliceerd in het tijdschrift Astrobiology.
Kleimineralen, microtunnels en koolstofrijke bolletjes in de meteoriet doen in alle opzichten denken aan soortgelijke structuren in aards basalt, waarvan algemeen wordt aangenomen dat ze het resultaat zijn van biologische activiteit. Dat zou erop kunnen wijzen dat er miljoenen jaren geleden ook leven aanwezig was op Mars.
De nieuwe studie komt 18 jaar na de aankondiging dat onderzoekers mogelijk bewijs van levensvormen op Mars hadden gevonden in een andere meteoriet, ALH 84001 geheten. De meteoriet werd wereldberoemd omdat NASA dacht dat deze meteoriet het bewijs zou zijn voor leven buiten de aarde. Veel wetenschappers zeiden echter dat de ‘microfossielen’ in de komeet waren gevormd als gevolg van abiotische factoren.
De meeste wetenschappers reageren nu ook sceptisch op de studie in het tijdschrift Astrobiology. Volgens Chris McKay van het Ames Research Center van NASA in Californië zal de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap niet concluderen dat de tunnels in de meteoriet zijn gemaakt door organismen.
De hoofdonderzoeker van de studie uit 1996, David McKay, was ook betrokken bij de nieuwe studie in Astrobiology. McKay, die vorig jaar overleed, werkte destijds in het Johnson Space Center van NASA in Houston. Het onderzoeksteam zal de 13,5 kilogram zware meteoriet Yamato 000593 blijven bestuderen. Volgens wetenschappers is de ruimtesteen 1,3 miljard jaar geleden gevormd op Mars en landde hij zo’n 10.000 jaar geleden op Antarctica. Ongeveer 12 miljoen jaar geleden moet de meteoriet bij een zware inslag op het oppervlak van de rode planeet de ruimte zijn ingeslingerd.
