Daily 2 Cents: Djinn Encounter in Afghanistan? — ‘Time Travel’ Murder — NASA Honors William Shatner

(Before It's News)

Djinn Encounter in Afghanistan?

We were deployed to southern Afghanistan and one night we had set up this position to secure a sight and it was around 2 in the morning and only me and the forward gunner were awake. I’m just scanning pretty zoned out when a figure stepped out from a corner about 75 yards away, he was man sized taller than a regular afghan but hey (remember this is all through night vision on a semi bright night) and he appeared to be a human . then the thing turned and looked right at me with eyes so bright my night vision started to burn out (meaning it was so bright it was burning the system, usually done only by really fucking bright shit like the sun). So that freaked me out and I pulled my NVGs off and those eyes were like neon red blood. Blood red bright as the sun. So this freaks me out and I pull my machine gun over and train the thermal optic on to it and those eyes were so hot it started to burn out that optic (same concept as before but with you know heat) but his body was so cold he stood out from the background which is really weird. I slowly loaded it and then the eyes moved like he cocked his head at me and turned and walked off and was gone. I didn’t say a word of this while we were there or to any one in the army since we’ve gotten back. – Reddit.com

The strange case of the ‘time travel’ murder

A woman’s body is found in London. DNA turns up a hit, yet the suspect apparently died weeks before the alleged victim. Here, forensic scientist Dr Mike Silverman tells the story of one of the strangest cases of his career.

It was a real-life mystery that could have come straight from the pages of a modern-day detective novel.

During the late 1970s… the idea of being able to identify someone from a few tiny drops of blood seemed like something out of science fiction”

A woman had been brutally murdered in London and biological material had been found under her fingernails, possibly indicating that she might have scratched her attacker just before she died.

A sample of the material was analysed and results compared with the National DNA database and quickly came back with a positive match.

The problem was, the “hit” identified a woman who had herself been murdered – a full three weeks before the death of her alleged “victim”.

The killings had taken place in different areas of the capital and were being investigated by separate teams of detectives.

With no sign of a connection between the two women and nothing to suggest they had ever met, the most “likely” scenario was that the samples had been mixed-up or contaminated at the one obvious place that they had come together – the forensic laboratory. A complaint was made by the senior investigating officer. Continue reading at BBC

NASA Honors William Shatner With Distinguished Public Service Medal

After nearly 50 years of warping across galaxies and saving the universe from a variety of alien threats and celestial disasters, Star Trek’s William Shatner finally went where no other member of Starfleet has gone before. This weekend, the acclaimed actor and director was honored with NASA’s Distinguished Public Service medal, the highest award bestowed by the agency to non-government personnel.

The honor was presented to Shatner Saturday evening in Los Angeles at his annual Hollywood Charity Horse Show, where he raises money for a variety of children’s causes. The citation for the medal reads, “For outstanding generosity and dedication to inspiring new generations of explorers around the world, and for unwavering support for NASA and its missions of discovery.”

“William Shatner has been so generous with his time and energy in encouraging students to study science and math, and for inspiring generations of explorers, including many of the astronauts and engineers who are a part of NASA today, ” said David Weaver, NASA’s associate administrator for the Office of Communications at NASA Headquarters in Washington.  “He’s most deserving of this prestigious award.”

A life-long advocate of science and space exploration, Shatner gained worldwide fame and became a cultural icon for his portrayal of Captain James Tiberius Kirk, commander of the starship USS Enterprise in NBC’s science fiction television series “Star Trek” from 1966 to 1969. It was a role he would reprise in an animated version of the series in 1973, seven major films from 1979 to 1994, and more recent “Star Trek” video games.

Shatner’s relationship with NASA dates back to the original series, with references to the space agency and its programs that were incorporated into storylines throughout the television and film franchises. In 1976, when NASA was ready to introduce a reusable spacecraft as the successor to the Apollo program, a new space shuttle prototype, originally to be named Constitution, was dubbed Enterprise in honor of the Star Trek universe and the work of Shatner and his series co-stars.

More recently, Shatner donated his time and vocal talent to host the NASA documentary celebrating the 30th anniversary of space shuttle missions. To honor the final flight of shuttle Discovery in 2011, he agreed to recreate his famous Star Trek television introduction in one of the last wake-up calls for the astronauts of the STS-133 mission.

In 2012, he hosted a video presentation previewing the dramatic mission of the Mars rover Curiosity and voiced his support for NASA spinoff technologies that come as a result of investments in science, technology and exploration.

Other past recipients of the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal include astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, former NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory director and Voyager project scientist Edward Stone, theoretical physicist and astronomer Lyman Spitzer, and science fiction writer Robert Heinlein. The award is presented to those who “… have personally made a contribution representing substantial progress to the NASA mission. The contribution must be so extraordinary that other forms of recognition would be inadequate.”

Besides his acting and directing talents, Shatner is a prolific author, having taken the reins for nearly 50 books, and is an accomplished horse rider and breeder. – NASA

Blue UFO Spotted Over The Netherlands

A blue-colored UFO, videotaped by a Netherlands resident, remains unexplained.

Blue? That’s something new.

OpenMinds.TV reports that, on April 11, Dick Smits was at home in the town of Maassluis — south of The Hague, the seat of government of the Netherlands and the capital city of South Holland.

It was the middle of the afternoon, and Smits was videotaping a boat on a canal. He spotted a blue object hovering in the sky for several minutes, so he turned his camera on it and zoomed in.

From the angle that Smits caught the object, it looks a little like a classic flying saucer (see bottom left), with a curved bottom and a dome on top.

At another point in the short video, the blue-tinted UFO moved slightly (bottom right) so that its structure seemed a little less like a flying saucer and, perhaps, more manmade. Could that be some sort of cockpit on the right side image?

When the Rotterdam-based RTV Rijnmond TV organization interviewed Smits about what he videotaped, he didn’t indicate how the blue object eventually disappeared from view.

Smits reportedly told the broadcaster that he just didn’t know what the object was.

And nobody has come forward to claim ownership of the baffling blue object. – THP

Beyond Science – The Philadelphia Experiments – Part 1

(Before It's News)

Much has been written and speculated about this legend of an experiment in “electronic camouflage,” both pro and con. Reportedly it ended with the ship teleporting from Philadelphia to Norfolk with some crew members becoming embedded in the ship. Sorting the facts from the fiction has proven an almost impossible task, particularly with the recent flux of misinformation and deliberate disinformation that has been injected into the internet by those connected to the U.S. intelligence community, professional skeptics and arm chair researchers.
Against this confusing tapestry there have been a few constants. They are that one, Carlos Miguel Allende, claimed in the 1950s to have been a witness to a test at sea of a ship being made optically invisible using strong electromagnetic force fields when he was a sailor onboard the merchant marine vessel SS Furuseth in 1943. He also claimed that during another test that went wrong, some of the men caught fire, went mad, and – the most bizarre of all, some were embedded halfway into the deck of the ship. Others phased in and out of this reality, only kept here by the laying on of hands. Allende wrote a series of strange letters in 1955 to Morris K. Jessup, a researcher who had written the book “The Case For The UFO.” It was Allende’s fear that the same technology that was responsible for the disasters of the Philadelphia Experiment was the secret behind the propulsion method used successfully by UFOs. Jessup had called for research into such force fields of UFOs without having any knowledge of the navy experiment, and this alarmed Allende.

Allende’s letters were filled with cryptic references and mailed from an assortment of locales around America. They can be read on-line at www.wincom.net/~softarts/PHILEXP/CM_ALLEN.TXT . Jessup eventually dismissed Allende as a crank until in 1957 he was contacted by Capt. Sidney Sherby and Comdr. George Hoover, two officers from the Office of Naval Research. They had received a copy of Jessup’s book with strange annotations in the margins about a vanishing ship, aliens and other anomalies. The officers from ONR asked Jessup to travel to Washington D.C. to meet with them and discuss what the annotations might mean. When Jessup got there he was surprised to see that the annotations appeared to be from Allende although they had been written in three different colored inks as though three separate individuals had been writing comments.

Jessup had no idea what to make of it and was a little unsettled by the interest that these ONR officers had in the writing, especially about the ship that was made invisible and it’s crew severely injured. The officers even paid Varo Inc. to reprint copies of the annotated version of Jessup’s book and had them passed around ONR for consideration. Jessup confided in his friend Ivan Sanderson that he felt the officers might want to try the experiment again. Meanwhile Jessup’s life began to be plagued by what he called “strange coincidences.” He began to complain about his health. and his research efforts took a turn for the worse. In 1959 he was found dead in his car from carbon monoxide poisoning and declared a suicide without the benefit of an autopsy. Many believe to this day that he was actually murdered, with Allende left roaming the country to escape the same fate.

The Office of Naval Research has created a number of form “response” letters over the years to handle public inquiries into the Philadelphia Experiment. The latest version can be found at www.onr.navy.mil/foia/PhillyExp.htm. Somewhat embarrassed by all the attention drawn to them by the activities of the now long gone officers, and having not been in existence at the time of the experiment, the ONR has had to handle the lion’s share of public requests for clarification and information. Until 1996 they had no trouble shrugging off accusations of cover-up with simple explanations about degaussing and misunderstandings about the word “invisible.” They contend that the legend got started based on the routine task of demagnetizing or “degaussing” the ships so as to be “invisible” to magnetic mines and torpedoes. Echoing this position on “The Unexplained,” as an official representative of the US. Navy, was US. naval historian John Reilly. Reilly stated that, as far as he knew, the navy never experimented with making ships invisible with magnetic fields. The navy has been long indirectly assisted in these apologetic efforts by the usual gaggle of disinforments.

“The Unexplained” featured an interview with researcher Robert Goerman, saying that he solved the mystery of the Philadelphia Experiment by a discovery he made about Carlos Allende. A writer from Pennsylvania who penned articles for pulp UFO magazines in the ’70s, Goerman considered himself to be “a player,” at least an also-ran amongst the galaxy of name UFO researchers of the time. When the book, “The Philadelphia Experiment: Project Invisibility,” by William Moore and Charles Berlitz came out in 1979, Goerman was motivated to do his own investigation but in a different direction. Instead of checking into the new information and science that the book mentioned, he latched onto Allende because of a quirk of fate – his parents were neighbors of the parents of Allende. Furthermore, Allende’s real name was Allen, Carl Meredith Allen. Goerman’s daughter used to visit the Allens and it was just by chance that he discovered that they were in fact the family of the elusive Philadelphia Experiment “witness.”

After agreeing to keep certain information about the family confidential, the Allens allowed Goerman to review various cards, letters, and other things that Carl had sent to his family. They described Carl as “a leg puller,” and someone who was very intelligent but lacked the discipline to achieve his full potential. It was clear from the items that Goerman looked over that Carl would annotate everything. He was even quirkier and more eccentric than he had ever imagined. Armed with this new information, Goerman was convinced that he had the truth, especially after having conversations with Carl himself. Ignoring all other available information, Goerman wrote “Alias: Carlos Allende” and it was published in “Fate” magazine in 1980, now archived on the internet at www.parascope.com/en/articles/allende.htm . But Goerman’s article was not well received by others in the UFO community. He has remained bitter about this, accusing those who ignore or disagree with his analysis as only being interested in “selling their books.” An accusation that Goerman made on “The Unexplained” and intentionally or not, inferred this as a motive of the wrong researcher.

“I know the applicable laws, how to operate with law enforcement, do investigations, have a badge and I.D., weapons, the whole nine yards and all legal. I’m versed in psy-ops, surveillance, counter-surveillance, stings, non-lethal weapons. I know how and can intervene in a felony in progress and execute arrest procedures until law enforcement arrives. I’ve actually been involved in cases against pedophiles, a rouge psychic spy, Men In Black related activity, potential terrorism related to Y2K that threatens national security. No cops or state police have complained so far. I think that earns me the ‘special’.” So says Marshall Barnes, Special Civilian Investigator Marshall Barnes who “The Unexplained” had contacted through his book distributor because he was described as an expert on the Philadelphia Experiment. Under the pretext of trying to get to the truth, Mark Caras allegedly got Marshall to agree to appear on the show and not allow arguments that Marshall had disproved to go unchallenged.

“…the crux of it all came down to the use of an intense electromagnetic field that would create a mirage effect of invisibility by refracting light…”
Marshall had been in a similar situation in November of 1996 with the Sci-Fi Channel’s version of Sightings, the magazine format show that the Fox network originally created. It was the first to break ground in the field of reporting the strange and paranormal. Marshall used an eleven point white paper to successfully pitch the idea of doing a story on how he could prove that the last paragraph of the ONR information letter was false, that there was in fact a scientific basis for invisibility known before the letter was written. Marshall assembled all of the evidence to prove his case along with a physicist for Sightings’ cameras. Six months later, after he and the physicist had been told separate stories about why the episode hadn’t aired yet, Marshall took things into his own hands and used a bit of his investigator know how to trick his way into talking with one of the executive producers. She told him the episode had been canceled because there were no witnesses to verify the Philadelphia Experiment had taken place.

“That was not part of the deal,” Marshall recalls. “I never said that I could prove that it happened, only that the ONR’s statement was false about the science and that’s what I did. The story was sold on that basis. It passed muster in a production meeting where ideas were voted on up or down. Maleka Brown brought it to that meeting and Ruth Rafiti was the producer it was assigned to. They sent out a director who hired a two man production crew to shoot all day. The first excuse was they ran out of editing money. Then they had to wait to see if they would be renewed for the next season. Finally someone admitted the episode was canceled but wouldn’t tell me why. Then I tricked my way in to getting a phone call to one of the executive producer people who told me it was because there was no witnesses, which had nothing to do with the idea that Maleka sold at the meeting. This producer wasn’t even in on it until later. It made no sense to kill that story, except for one thing – I proved I was right, and I did it right in front of their own cameras with one of my experiments and they were stunned. It was probably too good. It left no doubts. I had heard that Sightings had been infiltrated by government types after all the complaints that they got from the Pentagon when they were on Fox. Exposing Area 51, and all that. I had no opinion about that before. Now I’m almost convinced.”

Marshall’s “experiments” demonstrated that reflected light from an object could be refracted in such a way to create a mirage. This mirage would render that object transparent or invisible, a feat based on the statements made by an anonymous scientist who was given the cover name of “Dr. Rinehart,” by William Moore. Moore interviewed Rinehart who had met Allende but gave the eccentric the false name of “Franklin Reno,” derived from a road sign describing the distance from Franklin and Reno Pennsylvania. Rinehart claimed to have been one of the men who worked on some of the calculations for the Philadelphia Experiment and provided detailed scientific data up to a point. Marshall determined that if this data made no sense, did not ‘check out’, then the whole story would lose much credibility. Using the standard scientific method, Marshall carefully read Rinehart’s account and researched each scientific detail. The crux of it all came down to the use of an intense electromagnetic field that would create a mirage effect of invisibility by refracting light. This light would be refracted by the conditions caused in the air by the field that would include dielectric breakdown of the air, ionization, and even a zeemanzing of the atoms. Not having the equipment to cause such conditions, Marshall calculated that if he could find a material that would refract light, he could at least prove whether or not the basis for the Philadelphia Experiment had any foundation in science. As fate would have it, he did have such a material – a special plastic called ‘diffraction film’ – and he discovered, much to his amazement, that it worked.

(above) Photograph showing the defraction film and its invisibility effect upon a spool of thread. Notice that the table top and pen are visible through the spool (A). This simple experiment proved that defraction was a viable and scientifically sound method of simulating invisibility.

Marshall found other scientific data to corroborate Rinehart’s account, including a photograph from Sandia National Laboratories from the cover of the college text book, “Physics: Volume 2.” The photograph shows a particle accelerator device, that sits in water, surrounded eerily by the identical greenish-bluish glow said to have emanated from the Eldridge as the field generators were being turned on. The glow is described in this case as the result of the same condition that Rinehart mentioned – dielectric breakdown of the air near the surface of the water. Marshall’s scientific research was good enough that he was invited in 1996 to present his findings in a scientific colloquium sponsored by the biological and physical sciences department of Columbus State Community College. This event is mentioned as part of a press release announcing that it could be proven that the ONR had in fact been involved in a cover-up since Marshall’s findings directly contradicted the official ONR statement in the last paragraph of the information sheet. It also mentions that Marshall was to present his research on the Art Bell radio show. A copy of that release can be viewed at www.iufog.org/updates/. It was this event, and the discoveries leading up to it, that the Sightings episode was supposed to have been based on. If Marshall’s research and experiments were good enough to be presented in a colloquium sponsored by a college science department, why weren’t they good enough for a cable TV show increasingly becoming known more for its psychic ghost hunting? When considered in that light, Marshall’s suspicions of governmental interference are quite understandable.

But this was supposed to be different with “The Unexplained.” Segment producer Mark Caras had bought Marshall’s book and liked its focus on hard, documented evidence, instead of the wild stories and speculation of most of the available material on the subject. Not only had Caras taken an interest in the story, he also played a minor role in Barnes’ investigation against respected scientist and UFO researcher Jacques Vallee. Vallee had written an article debunking the Philadelphia Experiment called “Anatomy of a Hoax.” The basis for the article was that Vallee found another witness to the event, a witness that said that he was there at the time that it was supposed to have taken place and that it never did. The article had been hailed as the best research on the subject by UFO pundits like Michael Corbin, whose ParaNet newsgroups host discussions on such topics on the internet. But Caras knew that Marshall’s book exposed the Vallee article as a fraud since Vallee had not checked Dudgeon’s background or statements – statements that proved to be false when checked against navy documents and other historical information. Marshall unearthed admissions made by Vallee himself concerning his being taught on how to write disinformation, as well as Vallee’s links to the shadowy Aviary. The Aviary consists of various former CIA, DIA, INSCOM, and AFOSI agents and connected scientists. Allegedly dedicated to infiltration, studying and disinforming the UFO community as double agents, links for this group can be found at such sites as www.nacomm.org/news/1996/aviary.html. The Society for Scientific Exploration, that issued last year’s report calling for a further study of UFOs, is an Aviary infiltrated organization, as is their Journal of Scientific Exploration that published both the report and Jacques Vallee’s fraudulent article.

Marshall sent an eight page report to JSE editor Bernhard M. Haisch, informing him of his investigation against Vallee, the evidence that he had acquired and his intention to expose Vallee, with the suggestion that Haisch put a disclaimer on the JSE web page for the article’s abstract. When Marshall called Haisch to discuss the matter, Haisch acted as if Marshall’s investigation was inconsequential and flatly refused to inform readers of his findings. Haisch seemed more concerned about the possibility of Marshall taking his report to the internet.

“What are you going to do? Put it on the internet?” Haisch asked. Sensing a point of consternation, Marshall held his cards close to his vest.

“It’s not a matter of what I’m going to do,” he replied, “It’s a matter of what you should do if you want to live up to these high standards that your publication brags about on your web site.” Haisch hung up.

Caras was intrigued by Marshall’s gutsy, ‘go get the truth’ attitude. When considering including the Anatomy article in The Unexplained episode, Caras called Bernhard Haisch and then reported back to Marshall on Haisch’s disposition. “You’re really on to something,” he allegedly told the investigator. “Haisch was unnerved by your call, and nervous about my doing an episode about all this.” Caras also told Marshall that after failing to return calls to his office, Jacques Vallee called five minutes after Caras left him a message that he was going to proceed with the episode featuring Marshall’s statements about him without Vallee’s opportunity for rebuttal. During the ensuing conversation, Vallee said that he was “sorry that he had anything to do with the Philadelphia Experiment” and worried about his reputation in the UFO and venture capital communities as a result of Marshall’s investigation. He had forwarded Marshall’s report to his attorney, an action that Marshall considered to be in preparation for some kind of legal attack to keep him silent by tying the issue up in court. Based on this new information from Caras, Marshall decided to strike against Vallee publicly in a information warfare styled campaign that would only be held back until Caras decided if he was actually going to include the Anatomy issue in the episode. If he was, Marshall would wait until Caras had a chance to get his interview in the can, knowing that once the campaign began, Vallee would be loathed to talk to anyone.

When the time came for Marshall to be taped for his appearance, he was handed a release form that seemed to stray away from Marshall and Caras’ prior agreement. Recognizing it as a standard release giving the show the freedom to edit as they pleased, Barnes reminded Caras about their arrangement which Caras said he would still honor. The shoot that day included a demonstration of Marshall’s experiments for the camera and the photos from “Physics: Volume 2″ and a lengthy interview with Marshall. Jean Claude Ba, a physics professor was also interviewed. Marshall later sent Caras a copy of his dramatic experiment showing a sheet of diffraction film causing a full scale replica of the Santa Maria to look as transparent as a phantom ship.

As the time approached for the episode to air, Caras began to act cryptically. First was his mention of having a computer animation appear to ‘dramatize’ the Eldridge becoming invisible. When Marshall asked about the use of the video of his experiment with the Santa Maria, Caras acted like it was almost non-existent. “His attitude was like it either wasn’t good enough of a dub or that it didn’t show what I said it did. Regardless, it was a disingenuous response but I chose not to push the issue. I know how producers can be with their production toys.”

The next thing to happen was Caras telling Marshall that the executive producer Jonathan Towers, had him make ‘changes’ in the script because it was ‘too weird’. “Don’t worry,” Caras told Marshall, “you’ll still get the truth across.” Marshall was beginning to worry but having been informed by Caras that there would be no coverage over the Vallee issue because of lack of available time, Marshall had begun his campaign against Vallee on the internet, the very medium that Haisch had apprehensively asked about. Through a network of cyber journalists, the story about Vallee’s fraud and Haisch’s attempt to keep it secret slowly began to appear in various forms until now if you do a search on the net combining the words ‘fraud’, ‘hoax’ and ‘anatomy’, depending on the search engine, you’ll get articles about Jacques Vallee like www.ufomind.com/updates/1998/jun/m08-010.shtml.

By August 21 the first wave of Marshall’s campaign was over and he was beginning his middle game. But that night he stopped to see what Mark meant when he said he had to make some ‘script changes’. What he saw was as far from the truth as you could get. In fact, the Office of Naval Research could have written the script themselves.

UFO swims through the London sky

(Before It's News)

A witness recorded video of a UFO floating in the sky above London, England on the afternoon of Monday, April 28.

As the Daily Mirror describes, the witness saw the aerial object at approximately 1:30 p.m. in north London. The witness posted photos of the UFO to his Facebook account with the following description:

I captured this object a couple of streets away from where I live. The object appeared black in colour and was rotating as it moved along. I captured nearly 5 minutes of video before I lost sight of it floating in the direction of Highbury & Islington. I’m not sure what this object is. I thought it was a balloon, but there appears to be a light on it.

According to the witness, this UFO was a half mile away from him and approximately five hundred to one thousand feet off the ground.

Although the object’s appearance is unusual, it strongly resembles a helium-filled, remote-controlled shark toy. These are made for indoor use only. But they have been known to escape into the skies, drifting up and out of range of the remote control.

In December 2012, a passenger plane nearly collided with a UFO over Glasgow, Scotland. The Daily Record ran a story about the incident, which caught the attention of a local resident. He immediately responded to the paper to report that his son Billy lost his grip on his six-foot-long, helium-filled, remote-controlled shark toy at about the same time the incident with the plane occurred. A helium-filled, remote-controlled shark toy was also suggested as the likely identification for a UFO captured on video by a twelve-year-old girl in Ohio in March 2012.

The witness who recently observed the UFO over London states that the five minute video showing this aerial object will be uploaded to YouTube. But, at the publishing time of this article, the video has yet to be uploaded.

Archeologists Discover About 50 Mummies In Egypt’s Valley Of The Kings

CAIRO, April 28 (Reuters) – Remains of about 50 mummies, including newborn babies, thought to belong to the 18th Pharaonic dynasty were found in a huge tomb in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Antiquities Minister Mohamed Ibrahim said on Monday.

CAIRO, April 28 (Reuters) - Remains of about 50 mummies,  including newborn babies, thought to belong to the 18th  Pharaonic dynasty were found in a huge tomb in Egypt's Valley of  the Kings in Luxor, Antiquities Minister Mohamed Ibrahim said on  Monday.

Wooden coffins and death masks were found beside the bodies,  probably dating from the New Kingdom, state news agency MENA  quoted Ibrahim as saying, referring to Egypt's 18th, 19th and  20th dynasties between about 1567 and 1085 BC.

According to initial studies of the find, princes and  princesses were among the bodies found in the tomb, which had  been raided in previous eras, MENA reported.

The discovery was made by a Swiss team from the University  of Basel working with the Egyptian government.

Antiquities are vital to Egypt's tourist trade but, beset by  insecurity and political chaos in the three years since the Arab  Spring, the country has failed to secure ancient sites and stop  theft from museums, mosques, stores and illegal excavations.

The Blue UFO, Netherlands – You Make The Call…

Blue UFO Visits The Netherlands

A blue-colored UFO, videotaped by a Netherlands resident, remains unexplained. Blue? That’s something new. OpenMinds.TV reports that, on April 11, Dick Smits was at home in the town of Maassluis — south of The Hague, the seat of government of the Netherlands and the capital city of South Holland. It was the middle of the afternoon, and Smits was videotaping a boat on a canal. He spotted a blue object hovering in the sky for several minutes, so he turned his camera on it and zoomed in. SOURCE: THE HUFFINGTON POST|BY LEE SPEIGEL

William Shatner writing novel about UFOs and alien abduction

(Before It's News)

William Shatner was a guest on Larry King Now on Wednesday, April 23.

In this episode, the eighty-three-year-old actor, author, musician, and comedian speaks with King about a variety of topics including the cinematic showing of his one-man show, technology, the environment, and wine, among other things. The two also discuss a book about UFOs and alien abduction on which Shatner is currently working.

Shatner does not really provide any details about this book, but when King asks him about it, Shatner brings up famed Harvard psychiatrist and alien abduction researcher, John Mack. Shatner explains that Mack “was given, by a friend of his, the opportunity to interview some of the people who said that we’ve been abducted by UFOs. After two hundred interviews, he concluded that they were right.”

Shatner continues,

His conclusion was UFOs are on another plain, another reality. They may not be the meteors we see that we think are UFOs . . . In microphysics, sometimes the act of observing brings about the event . . . So, there may be a photon of light that doesn’t exist but suddenly comes into existence while you’re examining that goes off in another direction and ceases to exist. The principle being that there is such mystery of what we puny human beings have no knowledge of.

Shatner has a fondness for exploring mysteries and the unknown. And his book will seemingly explore the mystery of alien abduction specifically. After listening to Shatner’s commentary on alien abduction, King asks him if he believes that UFOs exist. Rather than offering a simple answer, Shatner comments, “Are they a product of us? There’s a mystery here. When a mind like Johnny Mack can say this happened, there’s too much community in these people who say they’ve been abducted, there’s too much emotional baggage, something is happening. What is it? That’s the question. So, do UFOs exist? It depends on what you mean ‘exist.’”

As Time magazine points out, Shatner has been vocal about his extraterrestrial beliefs. In a 2010 Montreal Gazette interview, he states, “There is no doubt that there is life out there; the mathematics of it lead you to that absolute conclusion. In my mind, there is no doubt that the universe teems — teems! — with life in all its forms.” Shatner hosted a show that premiered in 2010 titled William Shatner’s Weird or What? in which his fascination with exploring the inexplicable, including alien encounters, was showcased. The show debuted on History in Canada, and also made it’s way to Discovery and SyFy in the United States.

Shatner did not mention the name of his upcoming book about alien abductions or announce a projected release date on Larry King Now. But he is active on Twitter (@williamshatner), so any announcements regarding the book will most likely be made there first.

Ils veulent envoyer une arche de Noé dans les étoiles... dans 100 ans

Si dans les siècles à venir la Terre se meurt, certains préparent déjà la suite. Il ne s'agit pas de la Nasa et de ses programmes ambitieux, ni même de Mars One et de son projet de colonisation de Mars d'ici dix ans : on parle bien là d'un grand vaisseau destiné à naviguer bien au-delà de notre système solaire.

Et ce ne sont pas des écrivains de science-fiction qui sont dans le coup, mais bien des chercheurs de diverses nationalités, avec le soutien d'universités comme celle de Greenwich (Grande-Bretagne).

Le nom de code ? Projet Perséphone, du nom de la déesse qui après avoir passé l'hiver aux Enfers, rapporte le printemps avec elle à la surface...

Le projet se fonde bel et bien sur des principes de développement durable. Le vaisseau autosuffisant,  décrit par The Australian, intégrerait des matières organiques comme des algues, du terreau artificiel, et utiliserait l'énergie solaire pour produire tant ses aliments que des biocarburants.

Le tout pourrait transporter quelques milliers de personnes pour un voyage de plusieurs générations vers une autre étoile. Laquelle ? Ils ne se prononcent pas encore, les progrès de la détection des exoplanètes étant tels que d'ici à ce que le vaisseau soit prêt, on aura probablement identifié la meilleure cible possible pour cette expédition.

Un voyage d'un millier d'années

Rachel Armstrong, chercheuse et enseignante en architecture à l'université de Cambridge et leader du projet Perséphone, avait présenté le projet en détail lors du Starship Congress d'août 2013.

Le navire amiral idéal selon la scientifique ? Voici comment Rachel Armstrong le décrit : 

 Un engin spatial lent et humide. Son intérieur, détrempé, serait vivant - dans le sens très physique du terme. S'il doit survivre à un voyage interstellaire sur des durées qui pourraient dépasser un millier d'années, alors le vaisseau devra aussi trouver des ressources sur des sites extraterrestres."

L'engin devra aussi être capable d'une évolution dynamique plutôt que d'être maintenu dans un état statique. La robustesse et la flexibilité seront ses atouts majeurs, mais aussi sa capacité à s'adapter et à évoluer, comme un écosystème.

Pas question pour cette équipe de miser sur des technologies encore très théoriques de voyages à des vitesses plus rapides que celles de la lumière. Le groupe Icarus Interstellar, qui est à l'origine du projet, est en effet une fondation qui souhaite développer les technologies de voyage interstellaire à partir de ce que nous avons déjà. Son idée phare, lancer une sonde interstellaire robotisée d'ici 2100, se basait déjà sur un système de moteurs alimentés par la fusion nucléaire.

Le développement durable au coeur du projet

Le Projet Perséphone, lui, se concentre sur l'habitabilité du vaisseau-monde. Le groupe de scientifiques travaillent sur la création d'un "réseau physique d'échanges chimiques pour asseoir l'habitabilité d'un espace non terrestre, et d'établir ce qu'un mode de vie durable peut impliquer."

Ce qui aurait, aussi, des implications pour notre bonne vieille Terre : "Le vaisseau-monde ne vise pas seulement à se préoccuper d'un scénario pour un futur lointain, mais fournit aussi un lieu de discussion pour discuter des problèmes de viabilité de nos villes, notamment en prenant en compte les ressources contraintes de nos environnements urbains."

Perséphone pourrait donc "sauver le monde", à la fois en envoyant des générations de colons à la conquête d'autres systèmes solaires, mais aussi en aidant à repenser notre monde d'ici-bas sur des principes de développement durable...

Crypto Four Corners: Ultraterrestrial Assault / Investigation

(Before It's News)

During our recent 'Beyond The Edge' Radio interview with JC Johnson, we briefly discussed a new investigation launched by Crypto Four Corners crew.

JC Johnson

The incident involved a family group and other residents living in a non-specific location in the vicinity of Gallup, New Mexico. According the witnesses, Bradford and Maria, a series of gunshots and heavy ground artillery could be heard and felt from the distance. Soon after, bright beams of light appeared from above their hogan. The lights were so bright that it illuminated the inside of the hogan through the windows and, incredibly, through tiny cracks in the walls and ceiling. The lights seemed to cause disorientation, but the witnesses were able to tell that the beams came from a honey-combed shaped array from a craft hovering above.

Witness - Bradford

Witness - Maria

The witnesses made their way towards the main house behind the hogan. As they were running, they noticed a saucer-shaped craft hovering over the house with multi-colored lights rotating around it. The beams were displaying from different directions from other nondescript craft. These craft were creating torrents of strong wind that literally pushed the pinon and juniper trees to the ground. The witnesses also noticed very small entities scurrying around the enclosed dogs...suddenly causing the dogs to stop barking and rendered unconscious.

Sommer Schmidt - Investigator

At the same time, Bradford stated that his uncle was battling an entity at his house nearby. It became apparent that the uncle either incapacitated or killed the being.

Bradford and other residents in the area started to confront the craft with personal firearms. At one point, Bradford was discharging his AK-47 at the craft when the weapon started to 'heat up'...to the point that Bradford had to set it down because it was becoming too hot to hold. He states that 'something' from the craft directed itself onto the weapon.

Calvin O'John - Ute Tracker

It is interesting to note that some of the elderly residents were yelling at the craft 'go back to the stars.'

Back in the house, the witnesses described hearing footsteps on the roof...as well scampering outside on the ground. They were making desperate calls to 911 and local authorities.

When the fire department and state police started to arrive, the craft started moving away. Someone from the fire department stated that 'they could see bright headlights on the roof' as they made their way to the location. There were four state police cruisers on the scene...as well as an individual in a black Cadillac Escalade SUV. The witness referred to this man as a 'universal soldier' decked out in flack gear and armed to the teeth. This person never said a word, but it was obvious that the state police knew who he was...and they were taking directions (through hand signals) from him as well.

3 photo angles of the entity track

When this 'universal soldier' overheard the witness statement describing his uncle's encounter with one of the entities, he immediately made a beeline to the uncle's residents. The SUV was driven to the uncle's house...and very soon something was carried out of the house and placed into an unknown vessel (possibly cryogenic) in the SUV.

Not long after JC Johnson was contacted by Navajo Criminal Investigations in reference to the incident.

At this point, the investigation is still ongoing. Any available updates will be posted in the future.

Please watch video for more details:

NOTE: Though I don't want to get too descriptive until we received more information, the witnesses did seem to exhibit some 'lost time' through this ordeal. As well, Bradford had a few physical artifacts suggesting possible intrusion. It is also interesting to note...up until the time of this incident, the 'furry ones' never came onto the property. Since the incident, that has changed. Fresh tracks are showing up consistently. What relation, if any, that this has to the ultraterrestrial encounter cannot be established at this time. The 'universal soldier' person's arrival at this location seems to me to be more than coincidental. I contend that this person originated from one of the secret facilities located in the general area. The fact that the state police (or if they were actually state police) is also interesting. Lon
