Bill, 3 Things: MacArthur & Reagan Said Your "Novel" Vision FIRST, The Box Is a BIG Compartmentalized Place & SOME Of The Roswell Papers Were "Destroyed"
Bill, 3 Things: MacArthur & Reagan Said Your "Novel" Vision FIRST, The Box Is a BIG Compartmentalized Place & SOME Of The Roswell Papers Were "Destroyed"
Bill Clinton has a novel vision of how to attain world peace — an attack by villainous space aliens.
The former president said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Wednesday that an invasion by extraterrestrials might be the best way to unite the fractious countries of our war-wracked planet.
“It may be the only way to unite this increasingly divided world of ours … think about all the differences among people of Earth would seem small if we feel threatened by a space invader. That’s the whole theory of ‘Independence Day,’” he said, referring to the hit 1996 sci-fi disaster flick.
“Everybody gets together and makes nice.”
Bubba’s spaced-out comments came during a discussion with Kimmel in which the former two-term president revealed he had an obsession with space aliens during his stint in the White House.
Clinton said that soon after his inauguration, he assigned staffers to eyeball the Nevada military facility called Area 51, “to make sure there was no alien down there.”
His staff also boned up on Roswell, NM, where a UFO was supposedly sighted in 1947.
“I had all the Roswell papers reviewed — everything,” he told the bemused Kimmel.
“If you saw that there were aliens there, would you tell us?” the host asked.
“Yeah,” replied Clinton.
The former president — who famously admitted smoking pot as a student but claimed he never inhaled — said the sudden appearance of little green men wouldn’t surprise him at all given the vastness of the universe and continuing discovery of new planets.
“If we were visited someday, I wouldn’t be surprised,” Clinton said.
Le Président Bill Clinton Parle des Extraterrestres et de la Zone 51 sur le plateau de Jimmy Kimmel (Vidéo)
Date de l’interview: Avril 2014 Lieu de l’interview: Jimmy Kimmel Show Interviewé: Bill Clinton
Le Président Bill Clinton s’est fait interviewer sur le Jimmy Kimmel Show et Jimmy décida de mettre les projecteurs sur Clinton en lui posant des questions qui sont restées à l’esprit du public depuis toujours…. à propos des extraterrestres. Il a dit qu’il avait fait des investigations sur la Zone 51, mais avait découvert qu’aucun alien n’était détenu là bas. Clinton a dit qu’il y a beaucoup de chance que nous ne soyons pas seuls dans l’univers… Jimmy Kimmel sursaute et dit, « Oh vous essayez de nous donner un indice qu’il y a vraiment une vie extraterrestre. » A ce moment là Clinton panique et dit rapidement « non », inquiété d’avoir peut être rompu son serment de garder tout cela secret. Clinton poursuit ensuite en disant quelque chose qui a actuellement été exprimé par le Président Ronald Reagan lors d’un discours à l’ONU, « Peut être que c’est la seule manière de nous unifier dans ce monde incroyablement divisé qui est le nôtre. »
Bill Clinton a rapporté en direct à la télévision que le seul moyen d’atteindre une paix mondiale serait une attaque par des extraterrestres belliqueux.
L’ancien président a déclaré sur la chaine « Jimmy Kimmel Live » le mercredi 2 avril 2014 qu’une invasion par des extraterrestres pourrait être la solution pour unir les pays.
« C’est peut-être le seul moyen d’unir ce monde de plus en plus divisé… Les gens ne pointeraient plus du doigt leurs différences si nous nous sentions menacés par des envahisseurs de l’espace. C’est tout le thème du film « Independance Day » a-t-il dit.
Bill Clinton déclara en avoir eu une obsession pour les extraterrestres lors de son passage à la Maison Blanche.
Hilary Clinton, sa femme, a déclaré que peu après son investiture, il voulait s’assurer qu’il n’y avait aucun Alien là-bas.
Il ajouta que l’apparition soudaine de petits hommes verts sur terre ne le surprendrait pas du tout étant donné l’immensité de l’univers et de la découverte permanente de nouvelles planètes.
« Si nous étions visités un jour, je ne serais pas surpris », a déclaré Clinton. ? Traduction par Ovnis-Direct

Is deze hamer 100 miljoen jaar oud?
Is deze hamer 100 miljoen jaar oud?
Een OOPArt of ‘out-of-place artifact’ is een voorwerp dat gevonden is in ongebruikelijke aardlagen of tussen andere voorwerpen die thuishoren in een bepaald tijdperk, maar waar het betreffende voorwerp niet hoort. Een hypothetisch voorbeeld van een OOPArt is een laptop die men tussen de mummies vindt in een oud-Egyptisch graf.
In 1934 werd in de plaats London in de Amerikaanse staat Texas een hamer gevonden in een laag steen. Het gesteente is naar verluidt meer dan 100 miljoen jaar oud, wat betekent dat de hamer is gemaakt voordat er mensen waren om een dergelijk voorwerp te vervaardigen.
De hamer kwam in de jaren tachtig in handen van Carl Baugh. Hij speculeerde dat de atmosferische omstandigheden 100 miljoen jaar geleden hebben geleid tot een ras van reuzen. De hamer ligt nu in Baughs Creation Evidence Museum, waar replica’s worden verkocht aan bezoekers.
Baugh liet het artefact analyseren door het Battelle Laboratory in de staat Ohio. In hetzelfde lab zijn maanstenen van de NASA onderzocht. De hamer heeft een ongewone samenstelling: 96,6 procent ijzer, 2,6 procent chloor, 0,76 procent zwavel en geen koolstof.
De afwezigheid van koolstof is vreemd. Chloor wordt normaal gesproken niet aangetroffen in ijzer. In het ijzer zijn geen luchtbelletjes gevonden. De hamer bevat een laag ijzeroxide die roest voorkomt.
Scepticus Glen J. Kuban zei dat het gesteente materiaal kan bevatten wat meer dan 100 miljoen jaar oud is, maar dat het gesteente rond de hamer mogelijk een stuk jonger is. Rond artefacten vormt zich soms een laag kalksteen die niet ouder is dan 200 jaar.
Rond de hamer zijn echter fossielen gevonden die deel uitmaken van de oorspronkelijke formatie. De fossielen zijn niet aangetast. Dit zou erop kunnen wijzen dat de fossielen en de hamer uit dezelfde periode stammen. Koolstofdatering van de hamer in de jaren negentig leverde weinig op omdat de monsters besmet zouden zijn met recent organisch materiaal.
Het voorwerp is gevonden door een wandelaar en lag op een richel. Mogelijk is het losgekomen uit een grotere formatie. Baugh verklaarde dat een deel van het houten handvat van de hamer door de tijd heen in steenkool is veranderd. Op foto’s van de hamer is een zwart gedeelte te zien wat steenkool zou kunnen zijn. Dit is één van de vele objecten die ‘out of place’ zijn. Binnenkort zullen er meer van deze OOPArts voorbij komen.

VIDEO: Hoever gaat de elite om UFO-crashes te verdoezelen?
Er zijn vele tientallen rapporten van UFO-crashes, maar slechts weinig incidenten bereiken het grote publiek. In 1976 leidde een UFO-crash in de Golf van Mexico tot een confrontatie tussen de Verenigde Staten en Mexico. Rond 1800 werd in een boerendorp een openbare begrafenis gehouden voor de buitenaardse piloot van een gecrashte vliegende schotel.
In Kecksburg in de Amerikaanse staat Pennsylvania gaat een man op zoek naar de waarheid achter een UFO-crash in 1965. Wie verdoezelt het bewijs voor UFO-crashes en hoever is men bereid te gaan om de waarheid te verhullen?
YouTube video Parachutespringer Anders Helstrup heeft een goede beschermengel. Tijdens een sprong met andere skydivers in het zuid-oosten van Noorwegen ontsnapte hij nipt aan een botsing met een neerstortend object, zo goed als zeker een meteoriet, zo meldden verschillende media.
Het voorwerp passeerde de Noor rakelings net nadat hij zijn parachute had geopend. Een camera op de helm van de skydiver filmde de val van de steen, die met een snelheid van ongeveer 480 kilometer per uur langs Helstrup zoefde.
Volgens geoloog Hans Amundson, die nog met de NASA heeft samengewerkt, is het object dat Amundson op een haar na miste duidelijk een meteoriet en zijn de videobeelden uniek. "Het voorwerp kan niets anders zijn dan een meteoriet. De vorm is typisch: een vers breukvlak aan één zijde, terwijl de andere kant is afgerond."
Amundson stelt dat het gaat om een meteoriet in de 'dark flight'. Dat is de fase in de vlucht waarbij de ruimtesteen niet meer roodgloeiend is, maar donkerbruin of zwart. Het zou de eerste keer zijn dat een meteoriet in deze staat wordt vastgelegd op film.
Inmiddels ligt de focus op het vinden van de meteoriet van Helstrup. Experts hebben berekend waar de steen zich moet bevinden, waardoor ze het gebied hebben afgebakend tot honderd vierkante meter. De zoektocht valt echter niet mee, gezien het om onherbergzaam terrein gaat.
De parachutespringer zelf was zich tijdens z'n sprong niet bewust van de primeur. "Ik had wel het gevoel dat er 'iets' aan de hand was, maar ik wist niet wat", klinkt het in Daily Mail. Pas achteraf ontdekte Helstrup hoeveel mazzel hij heeft gehad.

67-year old Joao Inacio Ribeiro was walking along the oceanfront when he saw a circular object about 10 meters in diameter approach from the sea. It had brilliant blue, yellow, green, and lilac colored lights. On its upper section it had a sort of cabin or cupola with 3 circular windows. T…he craft approached, stopped, and hovered above the waters, causing the area directly below the object to become agitated and choppy. Ribeiro then saw two short humanoids appear on top of the craft. The figures were about 1 meter in height, and wore gray colored tight fitting outfits. The beings were baldheaded, with small noses and mouths and huge black eyes. One carried something resembling a walking cane; the other had what appeared to be a vacuum cleaner like object. Both beings then began operating the vacuum like object seemingly extracting water from the ocean. After 10 minutes they re-entered the object. Moments later the object descended to 10 meters above the waters causing them to become even more turbulent, creating large waves and foam. Afraid Ribeiro ran home.

Renato Longato had gone on an excursion with a group of friends in the Andes foothills and was walking alone picking up some stones for his collection. Suddenly the area became different. Somehow the noise of the birds and the wind stopped for a while and it seemed that he was inside a “big bubble.” A homogeneous ligh…t form appeared in front of Longato, it then transformed into a body shape and then into a human like being. The being was about 6-foot tall with delicate gray hair, strong cheeks, and hypnotic eyes that inspired harmony and respect. He wore a bright uniform that covered him from his neck to his toes. The witness felt suddenly very calm and heard a voice inside of him “We are watching you, Amurac, continue what you are doing…will see you again.” The figure then suddenly disappeared and everything came back to normal. Longato then looked up and saw a brilliant object flying over the mountains.

Oopart (out of place artifact) is a term applied to dozens of prehistoric objects found in various places around the world that seem to show a level of technological advancement incongruous with the times in which they were made. Ooparts often frustrate conventional scientists, delight adventurous investigators open to alternative theories, and spark debate.
A hammer was found in London, Texas, in 1934 encased in stone that had formed around it. The rock surrounding the hammer is said to be more than 100 million years old, suggesting the hammer was made well before humans who could have made such an object are thought to have existed.
Much mystery surrounds the so-called “London Hammer.”
Carl Baugh, who is in possession of the artifact, announced that it was tested by Battelle Laboratory in Columbus, Ohio, a lab that has tested moon rocks for NASA. The tests found the hammer to have unusual metallurgy—96.6 percent iron, 2.6 percent chlorine, 0.74 percent sulfur, and no carbon.
Carbon is usually what strengthens brittle iron, so it is strange that carbon is absent. Chlorine is not usually found in iron. The iron shows a high degree of craftsmanship without bubbles in the metal. Furthermore, it is said to be coated in an iron oxide that would not readily form under natural conditions and which prevents rust.
Glen J. Kuban, a vocal skeptic of Baugh’s hammer claims, wrote in a 1997 paper titled “The London Hammer: An Alleged Out-of-Place Artifact,” that the tests may have been conducted privately rather than at Battelle Laboratory. He cites a 1985 issue of the magazine Creation Ex Nihilo. Epoch Times contacted Battelle Laboratory to verify. A spokeswoman said she had not heard of the hammer in her 15 years at the lab, but she would check into it.
Kuban said the stone may contain materials that are more than 100 million years old, but that doesn’t mean the rock formed around the hammer so long ago. Some limestone has formed around artifacts known to be from the 20th century, so rocks can sometimes form fairly quickly.
Baugh’s website says, however, that the fossils in the stone surrounding the hammer “retain fine detail, indicating that they were not reworked, but [are] part of the original formation.” This would suggest the fossils and the hammer are from the same time period, that the fossils did not just get mixed up in materials that formed rock around the hammer at a later date.
Carbon dating performed in the late 1990s “showed inconclusive dates ranging from the present to 700 years ago,” Baugh supporter David Lines reported at the time. According to Kuban, Lines said the test had been contaminated by more recent organic substances. Such contamination is one of the reasons Baugh is said to have delayed having the artifact carbon dated (skeptics say he delayed because he feared being proved wrong). Dating is often called into question on both sides—by skeptics and proponents—for various reasons when it comes to ooparts.
The object was found by a hiker, and it seems it was not found embedded in the original layer of rock, which would have made a stronger case for an ancient origin. It was a chunk of rock found resting on a ledge, perhaps having tumbled there from within a larger formation.
As evidence of the hammer’s age, Baugh said part of the wooden handle had turned to coal. The photos of the hammer show a black part of the hammer that looks like it could be coal.
The debate surrounding the hammer’s origin has become bound up with the creationism versus evolutionism debate. Baugh is a creationist. Kuban is a creationist-turned-skeptic (or a much more moderate creationist). Various creationist organizations take different stances on this artifact, and many evolutionists dismiss it as a creationist hoax. But the object remains a fascinating one apart from its role in this controversy.
This is one of many objects said to be out of place in time. Epoch Times continues to explore more such findings.
When you try to break through misinformation and disinformation, it has always been wise to realize that – no matter how smart you think you are – if you are operating with erroneous or incomplete information, you will never uncover or find a solution to any issue.
That is why I find it so discouraging that there are certain individuals that tend to have a myopic view of what is around them and that they fear the idea of opening their minds to new understanding of old ideas.
There seems to be this willful ignorance that can be worn comfortably by individuals of different political and religious beliefs. It contributes greatly to a dysfunctional and hypocritical society.
There are many people who assume a black and white solution to all things and it is difficult to discuss things that broaden the horizons of people. It used to be easy to open up the discussions about the possibility that intelligent life that is beyond this planet or even this existence had a hand in our creation. Now it is seen as a sort of cosmic blasphemy or some satanic deception that is never clearly defined.
I always seem to sound hostile to those who are in a willful denial about how there is a half way point between god and science that if it is explored could give us new insight to how we arrive in this world.
It would have us ascend beyond the fairy tale and into the hardcore truth about God and what his plan is. It would give us the spiritual and intellectual armor to put to rest once and for all the secrets about what is above us and how observers at a distance see us as wanting love, reaching out for understanding and pushing the boundaries of knowledge in order to achieve and existence that can co-exist with God – or any other being that shares the heavens with him.
A day doesn’t go by when a person with camcorder or a smartphone doesn’t capture something strange flying overhead. Equally, there isn’t a day that goes by when a person posts the video to YouTube and gets accused of faking or Photoshopping the image to get attention.
Then truth is, they all can’t be faked or CGI’ed and those who become armchair analysts with an axe to grind most certainly have no credibility, in my opinion. I think it would be unreasonably to believe that every blip, smudge and light that is out of place is a alien space craft. It is also equally unreasonable to assume that everyone has the ability to expertly fake a UFO video or picture.
But the fight for the truth continues and some people in places of power give subtle hints that they know that there is at least something to be said about alien interactions with human beings.
Well, nothing really transpired after the rumor, we are still wondering and many people are waiting for the government to finally say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to whether or not we are alone in the universe.
Recently, Jimmy Kimmel had the former president on his program and – in a roundabout way – told Clinton that if he were president he would run to the White House immediately after taking the oath he would demand to see all the files on the UFO’s. He then asked Clinton directly, “Did you do that.” Clinton replied, “Sort of.”
“I just hope that it’s not like Independence Day, that it’s a conflict… Maybe the only way to unite this incredibly divided world of ours – they’re out there, we better – think of how all the differences among people on earth would seem small if we felt threatened by a space invader.” — Bill Clinton
Compare this to what Ronald Reagan had to say about aliens and their presence.
“Just think how easy his task and mine might be if [...] suddenly there was a threat to the world from some other species from another planet outside in the universe. We’d forget all the little local differences that we have between our countries, and we would find out once and for all that we really are all human beings here on this Earth together.” — Ronald Reagan
In the first chapter in Genesis, it is quite clear that the ancients believed that there was a plurality of beings that were in the Garden of Eden at the time mankind was to be created.
“Two beings [Adam and Nachash] had intercourse with Eve, and she conceived from both and bore two children. Each followed one of the male parents, and their spirits parted, one to this side and one to the other, and similarly their characters. On the side of Cain are all the haunts of the evil species; from the side of Abel comes a more merciful class, yet not wholly beneficial – good wine mixed with bad.” – Zohar 136
They were the wise ones from above. They gave enlightenment to the people and much of what they revealed was eventually taught in the ancient secret schools. These beings were known to be higher intelligent beings that would descend from the skies in order to interact with mankind.
Somewhere, the information was garbled and changed. They were minimized as mythology when much of what happened is history told in a way that the people would be able to understand. The Bible is an example of a text that was a compendium of simple explanations for a more complex plan that was first initiated by ‘the watchers’ and the prophets who associated with them.
If we were to understand that rich histories that were recorded at the same time as the bible and that they are worth exploring, we may find that their most certainly is no missing link and that we were divinely jump started by custodial developers under the direction of a supreme creator.
Jehovah and Elohim were two different “gods”. Jehovah is a singular name that was the “creator force” and the Elohim are plural. The Elohim were most likely the custodial messengers or beings of light that would administer or police the Earth and its people.
By leap-frogging gradual evolutionary changes, mankind was perfected and groomed in order to be under the constant observation of the creator and that now – with the revelation of the abduction and contact phenomena – we understand that the custodians are still doing their thankless job of maintaining and servicing mankind without any thoughts or obligation of morality.
Simultaneous global evolution was necessary as human beings in certain locales needed to evolve and adapt to their surroundings. This is why in northern most parts of the world the skin of man was lighter and as we moved into more brighter and warmer climates the skin would darken.
The custodial beings that were with us all along created a variety and model of human in order for their own protection and confused their languages to also protect human beings as well.
“The B’nai Elohim saw the daughters of Adam, that they were fit extensions. And they took wives for themselves from all those that they chose…The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when the B’nai Elohim came to the daughters of Adam, and they bore to them — they were Powerful Ones which existed from ancient times, the men of name.” – Hebrew translation and interpretation of Genesis Chapter 6
We hear about these beings and their relationship with mankind in the first four books of the bible. These beings were well known in the times of Enoch, Methuselah and Noah.
If we are to believe that the end times are allegedly similar to the times of Noah, then perhaps we should open up to the idea that the custodians that have been watching man for some time have arrived and their secret is being kept by leaders who are fully aware of their presence.
We can go back to the times of antiquity and see that the custodial construction of man was somewhere between the hominid and the reptile. The breeding process that continued from Eden to the flood was literally a slow process of eliminating the beastly hominid in favor of a caring mammalian with base reptilian attributes.
Mental constructs of territory, tribe, and borders. However, there was a point where mankind had to receive the Promethean fire or – in the case of Clarke’s ’2001: A Space Odyssey’ – the time where the monkey touches the monolith.
The metaphor is not lost on those who are aware and realize that there are more images and symbols that continually remind us that we are not alone and that we are all equal in the eyes of our creators and that differences would truly cease to exist if we were forced to confront those who made us or those who are observing us from a distance.
I was a member of the United States Air Force at the time that I saw nine flying discs. I dutifully reported my sighting to the Operations Section at Travis Air Force Base as had been directed by the Senior Officer. The pilot of our aircraft was also the officer in charge of the section that I was assigned to at the time. I was the Aircraft Distribution Officer of the Far East Air Materiel Command located in Fuchu, Japan in 1947. I had a project to take B-17 aircraft from the theater to Middletown Air Depot, Pennsylvania to have them modified to be air rescue aircraft. This involves such modification to accommodate a lifeboat attached the bomb bay which could be dropped for rescue at sea. I was assigned to one of these trips to observe the modification process. I became a passenger on the flight of a B-17 from Japan to the Middletown Air Depot. The crew picked up a modified B-17 aircraft (without the life boat) for return to Japan. On that return flight I had positioned myself in the nose of the aircraft.
As we approached Promontory Point, Utah at 15:30 hours, 16 July, 1947, I noticed several objects rising from the Salt Flats. At first I thought they were big white birds but they were coming towards our aircraft at such great speed that I became alarmed. However, in just a few moments they veered to the left of our aircraft, but close enough for me to identify them as nine round disks, approximately 40-60 feet in diameter with light blue underbellies. They were in what appeared to be a V formation of three, three, and three. They passed off the left wing of our aircraft in a climbing flight. I immediately made my way to the cockpit to advise the pilot of my sighting. He had not seen them. However, the flight engineer, Technical Sergeant GJH (name withheld), Serial Number AFxxxxxxxx, did see them and confirmed my sighting. We only differed on one thing. T/SGT. H saw them as they were a little lower than our aircraft and he described the top of them as sand colored. I had been in the Philippines Islands and Japan for approximately for 18 months and had not been aware of the UFO excitement in the States at that time. The weather over the sighting area was perfectly clear and there was no way that I could have been mistaken about what I had seen. I talk about this event to my friends and others that want to listen to my experience. Since there is so much reaction to stories of such sightings, I have never gone beyond just telling about the event. Also, I never had any further contact with T/SGT. H since he was assigned to a different organization than mine. I have kept the record of this event in my wallet all these years to make sure that the data was immediately available to me in the event someone wanted names and dates. I also put a copy of the data in my personal strongbox for safe keeping. There is one thing that I regret about this event. I had just purchased a movie camera with a telephoto lens while in the States on this trip, and had it right in front of me at the time, and I did not think enough to take pictures of the sighting. However, on the other hand, the whole thing was over in just a few seconds and had I tried to take movies of it I may have missed the whole show. I thought this might be of interest to your group.

Amazing new revelations in George Washington’s war diary suggest that the Father of the Country pow-wowed with space aliens, thinking they were yet another tribe of exotic and remote Indians.
What set alarm bells ringing is a diary reference to a glowing round craft in the snowy woods behind Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, where the first commander- in-chief wintered with his bedraggled Continental Army.
DAYBOOK
Ironically the news comes from a British historian who may have access to captured documents that Americans have never seen.
Quentin Burde of Edinburgh believes he has several pages of the daybook the general dictated to his military secretary nearly every day.
“The rub is that just when things get really interesting, there’s a gap of a page or two,” says the independent Scots historian.
GLOWING GLOBE
But a reference to the glowing craft may clarify Washington’s later references to green-skinned Indians, or
“Greenskins,” as the commander sometimes called them.
“Until now, historians have assumed Washington was referring to a tribe that used green war paint,” says Burde, who specializes in researching points in history where he believes space aliens have intervened in human events.
Now Burde believes the Greenskins were space aliens who supplied Washington with wise advice, information about British troop movements and tactics, and perhaps even some superior technology that helped him win the war.
Whoever they were, Washington very much looked forward to his rare meetings with the Greenskins, who lived in a glowing globe in the woods.
“The usual interpretation is that the glowing globe was a rounded lodge made of animal skins that glowed from the firelight inside,” says Burde.
But Burde’s discovery of references to a “hovering” and “disappearing” globe leads him to believe the glowing lodge was really a spacecraft.
“It also is strange that sometimes the globe is behind Washington’s headquarters and sometimes it’s not,” notes Burde. “An Indian lodge is either there or it’s not. This thing came and went, which is entirely consistent with a spacecraft that pays occasional visits.”
Burde believes there is crucial evidence yet to surface, and he is scrambling to find the missing parts of the war diary. The pages were captured by the British and languished for years in an Edinburgh archive.
The diary’s importance was missed by historians when it did surface because it’s not in Washington’s handwriting.
Burde’s explanation for that is simple.
“Washington often dictated,” he claims. ” He had a military secretary, a Lt. Johnson, at the time and these pages are definitely in his hand.”
UNAWARE
Burde also believes Washington had no idea he was dealing with creatures from another planet. “He probably thought he was talking with an extremely talented Indian war chief, or a medicine man with powers bordering on the magical,” he says.

1. What lead and inspired you to create your new book entitled “The Ghost Rockets: Mystery Missiles and Phantom Projectiles in our Skies?”
I have a number of friends who work in various academic and government jobs who are fascinated with the unexplained, though most often from a more “critical” perspective like myself. Due to their role in government or the scientific community, they most often have to maintain a low profile (which is a whole different conversation we could have). Anyhow, one of these friends with a background in engineering and aerospace began looking into reports of rocket or missile-like UFOs following a report of a “rocket” seen near an airport in Glasgow last year, which turned out to be a toy balloon. What he found picqued my interest, and we began looking more deeply into the possibility that there are rocket (or rocket like) technologies buzzing around in our skies, which are presently unaccounted for.
2. Could you go into what exactly mystery missiles and phantom projectiles are in your perspective?
It’s difficult to say, especially since the raw data is primarily the circumstantial witness reporting (although some of it is very good, like the reports I learned of that exist in NASA’s Aviation Safety Reporting System database, which is publicly available online). However, in modern usage, I think the closest fit for what we’re observing in such cases are some kind of drone technology, although at times they do appear to behave more like weaponized ballistic technology. Usually, a missile or rocket has a very specific purpose, and their appearances are generally expected to be accounted for by government agencies behind their launches. This doesn’t always seem to be the case, however, so far as what witnesses have described over the years, and this book gets into some of those cases.
3. So when did these events start to happen exactly as far as seeing these phantom projectiles? Is the point of origins right after World War 2?
The story about these “mystery missiles” goes back to 1946 in Sweden and other parts of Scandinavia, where immediately after WWII there were hundreds of reports of objects resembling rockets seen flying over the countryside during the summer months. The Swedish government formed a study group to determine their origin, and failed to muster any scientific data to account for them, and thus publicly issued a dismissal on the grounds that post-WWII paranoia may have been the contributing factor. But at least a few researchers on that panel, which some historians point out as the technically being first government UFO study group, have noted in years since that there did appear to be a technology of some sort that was operating in the skies over Sweden, which resembled more advanced cruise missile technologies of today. However, no such technology was known to have existed on par with what was seen in 1946, hence the use of the term “Ghost Rockets,” which I applied throughout the book in relation to similar reports that have continued around the world right up to the present day.
4. Are people seeing mystery missiles up to this day in the modern era and could you share a case with us?
Objects that are similar to the classic 1946 Ghost Rockets are still reported, and there have even been recent cases that emerged since the publication of my book! One that has made headlines was a case where a British pilot observed what he described as a bullet shaped object, similar to a “flying rugby ball,” flying dangerously close to his aircraft last summer. The altitude and behavior of the object he observed was inconsistent with most prosaic explanations, and while we could attempt to say he had simply been mistaken, toward the end of my book I recount a number of very similar cases to what occurred last summer over Europe. There have even been cases where aircraft at extremely high altitudes have managed to strike objects while in flight, resulting in dents on the nose-cone of the aircraft! Granted, implosion due to pressure changes at such altitudes, as well as rare instances where high-flying birds may have been unfortunate enough to have a collision with the radome of the plane, could account for at least some of these impacts.
5. Could you go into some of the Long Island cases with us from New York?
I bring up the Long Island cases because of their proximity, both in location, and time frame, to the tragic TWA Flight 800 incident. There were a number of instances where witnesses including experienced commercial pilots leaving JFK International Airport reported seeing rockets or flares over Long Island Sound in the weeks before, and even after, the Flight 800 crash. Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center managed to retrieve a transcript of a dialogue between the crews aboard a Lufthansa and a British Airways flight as they spoke with operators at Boston ATC, as they observed a green “missile” flying above and adjacent to them while departing from JFK. The object obviously remained in the sky longer than a meteor, following what appeared to be a horizontal trajectory for a period of several minutes, and was observed from both aircraft as they travelled. This incident took place remarkably close to a number of others, some involving red or pink “flares” rising up from the ocean and moving dangerously near commercial aircraft.
Now I’ll make an interesting observation here. In my book, I don’t directly suggest that TWA Flight 800 was taken down by a missile… I merely report what most other documentaries on this subject have not done, and that is that there were similar reports of flare-like objects seen over Long Island in the weeks and months before and after Flight 800 went down. Since the conventional explanation here is that the crash resulted from a spark in the center-wing fuel tank, I presume most modern skeptics would discount these cases, and further say that I’m doing “more harm than good” by presenting information that appears to steer the mind of the reader toward an alternative conclusion about the fate of TWA Flight 800. Some might even call that “pseuoscience.” However, I maintain that these cases described in the relevant chapter of my book are well documented, and as isolated incidents unto themselves, should be considered for the dangers they may have represented. And yes, the did occur in the same general vicinity of the TWA Flight 800 crash. Knowing this, which is more irresponsible: presenting well-documented data that may hold implications with regard to a terrible tragedy that occurred, or staunchly overlooking it out of concern that those implications, close to being contrary to the “official narrative,” will do more harm than good by promoting what some would call a conspiracy theory? I outline the official narrative in the book, but also present the facts regarding those other incidents that I simply don’t think many others have taken the time to examine. The data is right there for anyone to read, and I in no way think that presenting it is harmful, or in support of “conspiracy theories.” It’s simply a presentation of what I find to be factual data, to the best of my ability to discern.
6. What is one of your favorite cases involving phantom projectiles?
There is a case that took place in the Bahamas back in the 1980s, over an area called The Tongue of the Ocean (I have some satellite images in the book that show the region). In the 1980s, a pair of AUTEC employees on a night shift aboard a seabound vessel observed a pair of colored “rockets” glide overhead, traveling parallel to the ocean, as if on course to some destination. The observers found this to be extremely odd, as these “rockets” didn’t behave like weapons or ballistic missiles, but more like rocket-driven “drones” of some kind.
7. I have to wonder if some of these ghost rockets are people seeing future or past events from their now moments. Like a glimpse into the matrix so to speak where time suspends and they catch a glimmer of a rocket caught in a time flux. Any more insights into the phenomenon you can share?
In a strictly speculative sense, I’ve wondered about the temporal component in relation to UFO reports, which I discussed in my book The UFO Singularity. Again, many amidst my skeptical brethren out there disliked that book, because they felt it was too speculative (although I did source a wealth of scientific literature in doing so, for which a few others in academic circles, particularly mathematicians and microbiologists, issued a lot of praise). I state that this approach is speculative, but I don’t find speculating, at times, about observable phenomenon to always be “harmful.” It can be though, and in defense of the hard-line skeptics, I think that most of them are primarily concerned about the harmful things that pseudoscientific claims can often present. With the consideration of some phenomenon that may possess a temporal component, we’re merely considering what I’m sure an untold number of physicists have done as well… and without a valid time machine (or even a valid working model for how one would work), we’re all just speculating. But speculation, when carried out in a reasonable fashion, is sometimes a useful tool for getting our gears turning… and then it’s up to us to get back to looking for hard data that backs up those ideas, which then can be presented later, if proven, as scientific fact. So yes, I’ve wondered about what we might call “future technologies,” and I’ve written about those… with The Ghost Rockets, I’ve gotten back to documenting and critically analyzing data, which is quite a departure from my last book… and my readers have noticed, let me assure you! But most of the feedback has been good, all things considered. A few were upset that the book didn’t just go on ad-nauseum about the Scandinavian cases from 1946, but I state in the book that I’m applying the “Ghost Rocket” term across the board to similar reports that have occurred in decades leading up to the present day, and that plenty of exhaustive literature about the 1946 rocket wave already exists. I’m not a huge fan of just going out there and re-writing what other authors have already written, you know, and I feel there is a lot of “new” information this book presents for people interested in obscure reports of unexplained aerial phenomenon.
8. Have any other researchers gotten into this topic? Because from what I’ve seen you are the only one I’ve seen personally to tackle it.
As I had mentioned, a wealth of material exists that documents the old rocket reports from the 1940s. Jerome Clark wrote a lot about this, as well as Clas Svahn and Anders Liljegren, a pair of fine Swedish researchers on the subject. Svahn and Liljegren also documented at least a few of ongoing rocket reports that occurred throughout the 1960s, 70s and 80s; with the passage of time, new information about some of those has surfaced, as well as renewed scientific interest in solving them. As a result, I think I managed to flesh out a few of those incidents and bring a lot of new information to those, based on scientific investigations which, in a few cases, may detract from the “missile” theories related to those incidents. But as a researcher, one must attempt to be as thorough as possible, and of course, the aforementioned gentlemen did that at the time they had written about those cases. One of the important things about any area of study like this is to review the old literature and see what new concepts or emerging evidence might lend to it. Here, we’re fortunate to have science that we can often apply to several decades-old mysteries, which helps us to move closer to understanding them better, and in The Ghost Rockets, I think we are able to take a closer look at some of the unexplained missile reports from the past with a new, modern perspective.
9. What would you like to share from the book with us that our readers might find fascinating?
Simply put, these rocket reports represent a curious element within the context of UFO studies. There is that common misconception that UFO means “alien spaceship,” which I think is a ludicrous misunderstanding. UFO means, and has always meant “unidentified flying object.” There is some compelling data out there, but I don’t think any of it conclusively proves that we are dealing with extraterrestrial technologies. Therefore, to say that UFOs represent ET space vessels is a gross stretch in judgement; the possibility exists, but possibility alone does not constitute proof, and I maintain resolutely that we have yet to discover hard proof that alien visitors from other planets have arrived here on Earth. There are, however, a wealth of reports of flying objects of unknown origin, which seem to represent a highly sophisticated technology being employed; my first guess is that these would have to originate from here on Earth, but the problem, as we consistently see in the better reports of unexplained aerial phenomenon, is that these technologies, whatever they may be, appear at times to be so advanced that they border on the exotic or otherworldly. Still, appearance alone cannot be taken as “proof” of the otherworldly, no matter how badly any of us want that to be the case. The possibility remains, but it is merely one in a long list of complex possible solutions to what we call the “UFO” mystery.
10. What are you up to next book wise and any projects or news you’d like to share with us before we depart? Thanks.
I have about four or five ideas I’m working with as far as books, and I’ve been talking with my publishers, as well as looking at self-publishing alternatives, which both fascinate me from a technological and marketing standpoint, and also seem to represent the next wave of success in writing and publishing for driven entrepreneurs. So we’ll see what the future holds… and of course, if I’m lucky, I’ll continue to find intriguing data that I can write about as honestly as possible. If we can present good facts, we might one day be able to present a truly strong argument regarding these UFO things after all.
Bill Clinton asked aides to investigate aliens, UFO files
Bill Clinton asked aides to investigate aliens, UFO files
The 42nd President appeared on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ Wednesday where he spoke with the late-night host about alien life in the universe and how a visit from extraterrestrials could quell in-fighting in Washington.
Clinton is convinced that if aliens did visit Earth, bipartisan cooperation in Washington would be instantaneous.
Bill Clinton thinks we are not alone.
In an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Clinton said that when he was President, he actually asked aides to investigate what, if anything, the government knew about UFOs.
The search turned up no evidence of E.T. — but Clinton said he wouldn’t rule out that aliens exist.
“If we were visited someday I wouldn’t be surprised,” he said. “I just hope that it’s not like ‘Independence Day.’
The extraterrestrial topic was first brought up by talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, who said he would demand to see any documents on UFOs if he became President.
The issue of extraterrestrial life came up when Kimmel declared that if he were to become President, he would immediately “demand to see all the classified files on the UFOs.”
“Did you do that?” Kimmel asked.
“Sort of,” Clinton smiled.
Dan Burn-Forti/Getty Images Clinton said he asked to make sure that there were no aliens at Area 51.
He said he asked for the review at the beginning of his second term, after “Independence Day” came out and as the 50th anniversary of an alleged UFO crash in Roswell, N.M., approached.
“First, I had people go look at the records on Area 51 to make sure there was no alien down there,” Clinton said, referring to the top-secret section of a Nevada Air Force base. “But there are no aliens there,” Clinton said.
“When the Roswell thing came up, I knew we’d get gazillions of letters, so I had all the Roswell papers reviewed, everything.”
While nothing was known about UFOs, Clinton said it is known that there are other planets out there that could possibly support life.
“If you saw that there were aliens there, would you tell us?” Kimmel asked.
“Yeah,” Clinton said, smiling.
“So, what do we know?” the former President continued on Wednesday night’s show.
“We know there are billions of stars and planets, literally, out there. And the universe is getting bigger,” he said. “In the last two years, more than 20 planets have been identified outside our solar system that seem to be far enough away from their suns and dense enough that they might be able to support some form of life, so it makes it increasingly less likely that we’re alone.”
Clinton joked that a visit by aliens might be “the only way to unite us in this incredibly divided” world. “If they’re out there, we better think of how all the differences among people on Earth would seem small if we felt threatened by a space invader. That’s the whole theory of ‘Independence Day.’ Everybody gets together and makes nice.”
UFO sighting over Newport Beach, California on 26th March 2014
UFO sighting over Newport Beach, California on 26th March 2014
New interesting video footage of multiple UFO sightings recorded over Newport Beach, California on 26th March 2014.
Witness said: Here’s a new submission for review please of new footage shot from my apt in Newport Beach CA on March 18- March 26, 2014.
Filmed on March 18 thru March 26, 2014 from my deck in Newport Beach CA. The video covers 20+ UFO captures filmed during the day and night. We highlighted select clips with digital filters to enhance the images. The video features various kinds of Orbs, Rods, Cigarufos, a Morphing UFO, an Orb with Forcefield, and a large Swarm of Cigar UFOs filmed over Newport Beach.
The footage was captured with a Canon 7D camera and Canon Telephoto Lens EF 100-400mm, with 2 extender, and a Sony HX3-NX3 camcorder, with Gen 3 LRS Scout for Night Vision.

New evidence confirms what many scientists already suspected–a liquid water ocean exists beneath the icy surface of Saturn’s moon Enceladus.

In 2005, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft discovered water-rich plumes erupting from Enceladus’s south pole, leading researchers to believe the moon contained a subsurface ocean. And scientists feel that new data gathered by Cassini confirms this belief. Cassini measured the moon’s gravitational field, and in reviewing this data, scientists determined that Enceladus has more mass at its south pole than is superficially apparent. Scientific American explains, “Because liquid water is denser than ice, a buried ocean could contribute this hidden mass.”

This body of water in the moon’s southern hemisphere is reportedly as large or larger than Lake Superior in the United States, and is located on top of Enceladus’s rocky core at a depth of approximately thirty one miles.
Candice Hansen-Koharcheck, senior scientist with the Planetary Science Institute, told Discovery News, “There have been clues all along . . . But until you actually get this gravity data, it’s still kind of a circumstantial evidence-story. This is proof of the pudding.”

And Scientific American states that the presence of this ocean “boosts Enceladus’s ranking among the top places in the solar system to look for extraterrestrial life.” According to Cornell University planetary scientist Jonathan Lunine, “There are terrestrial organisms that would be perfectly comfortable in that environment . . . It makes the interior of Enceladus potentially a very attractive place to look for life.”
The Cassini spacecraft has three more scheduled targeted flybys of Enceladus to collect more data before it plunges into Saturn’s atmosphere.
Even though it is Jimmy Carter who famously had a UFO sighting, Bill Clinton seems to be the one who talks the most about them, and he is open to the idea of extraterrestrial visitation. He has a long history of association with the UFO subject and Area 51 that spans back throughout his presidency.
UFO buffs, and reporters, where poised at their televisions last night, ready to find out if Jimmy Kimmel would keep his promise when the other night he said he would ask Clinton about UFOs when he came on the show. Kimmel kept his promise, and in typical Kimmel fashion, in a light hearted and funny way. However, he did get some interesting and heartfelt comments from the former president.
Kimmel brought up the subject by saying that if he were president he would immediately go find out about UFOs. He said, “I probably wouldn’t even finish the oath. I would run to the White House. I’d demand to see all of the classified files on the UFOs because I want to know. I want to know what has been going on. Did you do that?”
Clinton replied, “Sort of.”
Clinton said he began looking into it at the beginning of his second term, during the 50th anniversary of the alleged Roswell UFO crash. Kimmel was surprised he waited so long. Clinton also said he looked into Area 51.
Clinton says there was a sci-si movie that about an alien being held in Area 51. So he says he first had people look into Area 51 to find out if there really was an alien down there. He says he found out it was a secret base, and that the people who worked there even had to wear special clothing, but that they were dealing with secret stealth technology, not aliens.
As for Roswell, he says he knew they were going to receive “zillions” of letters about it for the anniversary, so he had all of the Roswell papers reviewed. Clinton didn’t get into the results of that inquiry before Kimmel’s next question, but we do know from previous comments that Clinton says he found no evidence of aliens at Roswell either. More on the later…
As soon as Clinton mentioned he had the Roswell files reviewed, Kimmel asked, “If you saw that there were aliens there would you tell us?”
Clinton replied that he would, to which the crowd clapped. He then said:
What do we know now? We know we live in an ever expanding universe. We know that there are billions of stars and planets, literally, out there, and the universe is getting bigger. We know from our fancy telescopes that just in the last two years more than 20 planets have been identified outside of our solar system that seem to be far away enough from their suns and dense enough that they might be able to support some form of life. So, it makes it increasingly less likely that we are alone.
Kimmel suggested, “Oh, you are trying to give me a hint that there are aliens.”
Clinton replied, “No, I am trying to tell you I don’t know, but if we were visited some day I wouldn’t be surprised. I just hope it’s not like Independence Day the movie. “
Finally, Clinton embarked some sentiments, similar to those given by Reagan in the 80s and repeated several times, that if there was an alien threat that humans would need to unite and forget our petty difference. He noted that was the point behind the Independence Day movie.
Clinton’s UFO History
Clinton wasn’t kidding when he says he looked into UFOs during his presidency. In fact, a story that would make Kimmel proud was printed in a book by Clinton’s friend William Hubbell.
Hubbell was a friend of the Clintons from Arkansas, and was actually indicted for fraud in the Whitewater scandals. Before his indictment he was assigned to the Attorney General’s office as the Associate Attorney General. Hubbell wrote in his book Friends in High Places:
Clinton had said, ‘”If I put you over at Justice, I want you to find the answers to two questions for me,” Hubbell recounts. “One, who killed JFK. And two, are there UFOs?” Clinton was dead serious. I had looked into both, but wasn’t satisfied with the answers I was getting.
In a speech he gave in Belfast in Northern Ireland in 1995, Clinton brought up Roswell. He said, “I got a letter from 13-year-old Ryan from Belfast. Now, Ryan, if you’re out in the crowd tonight, here’s the answer to your question. No, as far as I know, an alien spacecraft did not crash in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. And, Ryan, if the United States Air Force did recover alien bodies, they didn’t tell me about it, either, and I want to know.”
Someone else who wanted to know was Laurence Rockefeller. Laurance, one of the Rockefeller heirs, worked diligently during Clinton’s administration to fund research into UFOs, and to get official government information released.
Laurance, who passed in 2004, was by no means a black sheep of the powerful Rockefeller family. He held a seat on the New York Stock Exchange, and was the founding trustee of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund for forty-two years. He was a venture capitalist who was involved with, among other things, the rise of the computer era. He helped shape history, and before he passed he wanted the public to be informed about UFOs.
Researcher Grant Cameron, who runs the website HillaryClintonUFO.net, was able to retrieve documents through the Freedom of Information Act that showed Rockefeller was soliciting help from Hillary’s staff on drafting a document to President Bill Clinton in 1995. The title of the document was Lifting Secrecy on Information About Extraterrestrial Intelligence as Part of the Current Classification Review.
The Clintons never did publicly involve themselves with Rockefeller’s quest for UFO truth, but like he told Kimmel, Clinton did make his own inquiries. Another time when he discussed his Area 51 and Roswell investigation was after his presidency in Hong Kong in 2005.
Clinton took part in a Q and A session with an audience for CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, a large independent equity broker and financial services group. The moderator asked Clinton if there was a list that was passed from president to president with a list of secrets like “’Where is Jimmie Hoffa?” and “What really happened at Roswell?” He added, “Is there something for us to look forward to that will be released that will make the National Inquirer required reading?”
Clinton chuckled, and although he wasn’t asked about it, his answer mostly referenced Area 51:
Well, I don’t know if you all remember this, but there was actually, when I was president in my second term, there was an anniversary observance of Roswell. You Remember that? People came to Roswell, New Mexico from all over the world. And, um… and there is also a site in Nevada where people were convinced that the government had buried a UFO and perhaps an alien deep underground, because we wouldn’t allow anybody to go there. And um… I can say now, because it has now been released into the public domain, I actually had so many people in my own administration convinced that Roswell was a fraud, but this place in Nevada was really serious, there was an alien artifact there. So, I actually sent someone there to figure it out, and it was actually just a secret defense installation, alas, doing boring work that we just didn’t want anybody else to see.
This wasn’t the first time Clinton referenced Area 51. He was forced to do so in 1994. Due to the burning of unknown chemicals at Area 51, several civilian contractors got sick and two of them died. Five of these employees, who remained unnamed, and the families of two of the deceased sued the US Air Force and the EPA in 1994.
The Air Force had a difficult time denying the existence of the base to the media, while at the same time acknowledging the law suit existed. Because of its secret nature, the Air Force said they could not reveal the chemicals that were being burnt at the base, and President Clinton reinforced this decision with a Presidential Determination which exempted “The Air Force’s Operating Location Near Groom Lake, Nevada” from environmental disclosure laws. Thus, the victims’ case was dismissed due to a lack of evidence. The determination requires being reviewed and renewed every year, and every president since Clinton has done so.
The determination did not include the name Area 51, because the name of the base was officially classified until recently. In fact, President Obama had the honor of being the first president to speak the name of the base. Clinton’s appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel may, in fact, be the first time he has uttered those words in public.
Clinton’s UFO Buddy
Johh Podesta was Bill Clinton’s chief of staff and aided in Obama’s transition into the White House in 2008, and is currently a White House advisor. He is also known to be a sci-fi enthusiast, and has been involved with efforts to get the government to disclose all it knows about the UFO phenomenon.

Podesta served on Clinton’s staff from 1993 until Clinton left office. His final position was as Clinton’s Chief of Staff. He has remained influential in politics through a liberal think tank that he founded called the Center for American Progress.
It has always been known that Podesta is a big sci-fi buff. He made headlines during his tenure in the White House when he had an X-files themed birthday party. He was especially keen on that TV series. For a man at his level to have an interest in sci-fi is not that unusual. However, the depth of his interest in UFOs was revealed when he spoke at a press conference at the National Press Club asking the government to release its secret files on UFOs so that scientists can determine the nature of the phenomena.
In 2002 the Coalition for the Freedom of Information headed by journalist Leslie Kean, along with the Sci-Fi channel (now SyFy), held a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. to address the issue of secrecy regarding the subject of UFOs. At that meeting Podesta stated, “It is time for the government to declassify records that are more than 25 years old, and to provide scientists with data that will assist in determining the real nature of this phenomenon.” He made this comment in front of several major media representatives in attendance. The video can be seen below.
Clinton by far, more than any other president, has demonstrated the biggest presidential interest in UFOs. Every time he has talked on the subject he has left open the possibility that there could be more to the subject than we know. It seems he has been open to the idea of alien visitation for some time, even before it was cool. And yes, it is now very cool to believe in aliens.
Bill Clinton ‘wouldn’t be surprised’ aliens existed
The former United States president appeared on Wednesday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” He ended up discussing, among other things, extraterrestrial life.
Clinton admitted that soon after becoming president, he had his aides research Area 51, the Nevada military facility, “to make sure there was no alien down there.” He was also interested in Roswell, N.M., the site of a reputed UFO sighting in 1947, which was celebrating its 50th anniversary during Clinton’s presidency.
“I had all the Roswell papers reviewed – everything,” he told Kimmel.
“If you saw that there were aliens there, would you tell us?” Kimmel asked.
“Yeah,” Clinton said, nodding.
Given the size of the universe, and the continued discovery of new planets, Clinton believes we’re not alone.
“If we were visited someday I wouldn’t be surprised,” Clinton said. “I just hope it’s not like ‘Independence Day.’”
Clinton went on to discuss some of the potential benefits to an alien invasion, framing his argument around the 1996 sci-fi disaster movie.
“It may be the only way to unite this increasingly divided world of ours … think about all the differences among people of Earth would seem small if we feel threatened by a space invader,” Clinton said.
“That’s the whole theory of ‘Independence Day. Everybody gets together and makes nice.” – ABCNews
The Philip Experiment – Conjuring a ‘Thought-Form’
We’ve all been there — you freak yourself out telling stories or watching a horror movie and all of a sudden you’re seeing poltergeists everywhere. But what about people who have actually caused paranormal phenomena to happen, with just the power of their brains?
One of the most famous explorations of the link between the paranormal and the mind is The Philip experiment, which tested a group’s ability to “create a ghost” from a fictional narrative. These experiments have informed much of modern parapsychology, even making it into cinema. In The Quiet Ones, a group of psychology students perform experiments inspired by The Philip Experiment on a young girl, Jane Harper, who harbors unspeakable secrets, resulting in a truly terrify outcome. I looked at The Philip Experiment and spoke with a psychiatrist about whether or not telekinesis and other paranormal phenomena can be explained using what we know about the human brain.
The Philip Experiment
In the early 1970s, a group of parapsychological researchers — known as The Owen Group — from the Toronto Society for Psychical Research decided to test the theory that paranormal visitations are merely a product of the human mind by seeing if they could use their collective fear and belief to create a spirit, named Philip, and force it to manifest.
The group began by envisioning a history for Philip — they even drew his portrait. They then spent an entire year discussing Philip, meditating on his image and willing him to appear to them. In 1973, during a traditional spiritualist séance in which members placed their hands on a table and spoke and sang to Philip, he began to communicate. He began by rapping on the table, answering questions related to the history that they had created for him, and also correctly answering questions outside of his own mythology, but still within the collective knowledge of the group.
Telekinetic happenings were reported, such as the lights dimming when the group would request Philip lower them. The Philip experiment worked so well that the Owen group took him to the small screen — filming a séance in front of a live audience of fifty people, during which the table reportedly levitated. Iris Owen and Margaret Sparrow, both members of The Owen Group, also wrote a book about the experiment, called Conjuring Up Philip.
Evidence of the Paranormal?
Some saw the Philip experiment as proof that people can, with enough will power, connect with a spiritual or paranormal world, while others saw the test as proof human consciousness creates such experiences. I spoke with psychiatrist Dr. Robert Stein, about what he thinks links the paranormal and the human mind.
“What I don’t believe is that there are people hanging around in the ether waiting to talk to us,” he began, but went on to say that it’s not as simple as saying that these things are hoaxes, or that everyone who claims to have had a paranormal experience is a fraud. Citing the frequency of simultaneous scientific discovery, and the phenomena of mass hysteria, Stein suggests that group experiences of the supernatural are either the result group projection or products of the fact that human energy — specifically ideas — are more tangible than we think.
“There is no reason to think that ideas travel any differently than, say, radio waves,” he said. The same way radio waves can cross great distances, perhaps brain waves can pass through the air, creating physical, telekinetic changes in the environment and shared understanding. “There are so many examples of people around the world coming to the same conclusion at exactly the same time, it’s possible that the mind is more powerful than we think.”
With this in mind, there are two possible explanations for the Philip Experiment’s success: either the participants were so wrapped up in their fantasy that they interpreted everyday phenomena to support their desire for a paranormal encounter, or they were actually creating a change in their environment with their brain waves. There’s also a third option: that the whole thing was a hoax.

Jackie Stock and her husband Arlen Parma caught a strange hairless animal at their home in Ratcliffe.
The couple encountered the creature, a dark skinned hairless dog-like animal, after Parma spotted it outside on their property in Texas. “He called me to come and look, and I said ‘Bubba that looks like a baby chupacabra,’” said Stock.
Local news agencies were quick to pick up on the story with headlines suggesting that the enigmatic critter was in fact the legendary chupacabra, a carnivorous quadruped said to be responsible for a spate of farm animal deaths over the last few decades.
This isn’t the first case of its kind either – there have been several reports of both dead and captured chupacabra over the years. Most of these however have turned out to be more mundane animals suffering from mange, a condition that sees their fur falling out resulting in an unusual appearance.
It is thought that the creature in this case, far from being the goat-sucking predator, could in fact be little more than a hairless raccoon or possum suffering from the condition.
On the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro the eight-year-old daughter of a pastor is giving hope to believers in places where poverty is rife.
In the slums of San Gonzalo, people flock to a small church where Alani Santos claims to exorcise demons and cure the sick.
“When the little missionary touches you, something will happen. You will be cured,” says her pastor father.
Exorcism in the poorer parts of Brazil has always formed part of Christian life, but Pentecostalism is on the rise with more churches promising a direct experience of the presence of God. In some ways, Alani is becoming the face of God to those seeking her help.
Describing how she helps people, Alani tells Vocativ: “A lot of the time I touch people, sometimes I just pray and worship and the person is cured.”
Asked what the most emotional part of the services she does is, Alani says: “It’s the part when I pray and God performs miracles, my dad interviews people and they say they’ve been cured. That’s very pleasing to see.”
She also describes the immense privilege she feels to be able to help people.
Alani also preaches herself. At one service she says, with her audience repeating: “I have faith that I will receive my miracle. My enemy has been defeated. I know you’re going through this struggle, you have to have faith because it’s only getting worse. That’s because victory is coming, all you need to do is have faith and seek Jesus Lord.”
Members of her congregation claim that she helped cure a man of HIV after seven years. In the video we also see her touch the forehead of a man who then collapses to the ground crying. – IB Times
