Analysis of the Atacama humanoid alien

We posted earlier this week a story outlining the origin of the alleged tiny ET creature to be showcased in Dr. Steven Greer’s Sirius documentary to be released later this month. We chronicled how this creature was none other than a case known in Chile as the La Noria ET from 2003; the name comes from a ghost town of the nitrate era in this part of Chile’s northern Atacama Desert region. We left the story sort of in a cliff hanger as to what happened to it once it was acquired by a Spanish businessman from Barcelona.

We’ve discovered since a number of things, including the original 7 minute TV program about the case aired by Chile’s Megavisión Channel V shortly after the creature’s discovery was published in the local press. You can now see this program on YouTube in Spanish, and it shows exactly the location where the creature was discovered, as well as interviews with Oscar Muñoz, the man who found it, Alejandro Dávalos, the first one to photograph the being, and well known Chilean ufologist Rodrigo Fuenzalida, director of the AION UFO research group.

It’s clear that this program was done in the early stages of the La Noria case, when the little being was owned by the pub owner from the provincial capital of Iquique. He didn’t appear in the program because he probably wanted money to allow filming the creature (that was his modus operandi according to the newspaper La Estrella de Arica) and the TV channel didn’t go along with it.

More importantly, we discovered who bought the creature and what happened once it left Chile and traveled to Spain, where it has remained ever since. It turns out that its owner is Ramón Navia-Osorio, a wealthy entrepreneur from Barcelona who runs the IIEE (Spanish acronym for Institute for Exobiological Investigation and Study), a UFO organization formed in 1975. Navia-Osorio was a member for many years prior to becoming the group’s director. We found a very long report, “El Ser Antropomórfico de Atacama” (The Anthropomorphic Being from Atacama), written by Navia-Osorio himself and posted by Julio González in “Realidad OVNI” (UFO Reality), a large UFO news website from Argentina specialized in cases from Latin America, just six days ago, on April 5, 2013.

Navia-Osorio begins by recounting his trip to northern Chile ten years earlier, in late 2003, and how he met Oscar Muñoz in the ghost town of La Noria itself, and later Alejandro Dávalos, the young worker who took the first photos of the creature, and other people from the area. The contact between the Chilean and Spanish ufologists was Raúl Núñez Gálvez, a well known Chilean ufologist who lived in Spain for many years and was a member of the IIEE He, too, traveled with Navia-Osorio to La Noria. The Spanish researcher provides initially some additional historical and paranormal details about this area with ghost towns from the booming nitrate industry of the late 19th century. One curious historical detail is that Charles Darwin, the famous father of the theory of evolution, visited La Noria in 1835. We also mentioned in our previous story that paranormal activities seem to be common in this area, and the Spanish researcher mentions this fact as well. He specifically claims that one of the things seen by the locals are ghostly apparitions of 19th century funeral processions, which then vanish.

Navia-Osorio also provides the name of the Iquique pub owner, Ricardo Clotet, explaining that the original transaction with Oscar Muñoz took place through his brother, Ricardo Muñoz, who in turn contacted Clotet. The details of the transaction between Clotet and Navia-Osorio are not discussed, but the rumor in Chile was that it was a fairly substantial sum, probably tens of time higher than the paltry amount of less than $100 that Clotet paid Muñoz. In any event, by 2004 the transaction took place and the creature was moved to Spain.

Inconclusive scientific backing

To his credit, Ramón Navia-Osorio made an earnest effort to have the creature analyzed by reputable scientists and medical doctors, although most of them seemed reluctant to get involved and specially to put their names in a signed report with conclusions. On July 5, 2004, the creature was presented to the Royal Academy of Sciences in Barcelona, where it was examined by several doctors, biologists and zoologists whose names are given in Navia-Osorio’s report. He complains about the close-minded attitude of many of the scientists from the prestigious Complutense University in Madrid and other academic institutions. He claims that some of these professors would admit off-the-record that there was something truly unique and strange about the creature, but would refuse to state the same thing in a written report or even in an audio or video recording.

Navia-Osorio provides the text of two scientific documents in his report. The first one is the “radiological” report signed by doctors E. Feijoo, C. López and J. M. Colomer. It basically consists on a detailed description of the creature itself but it obviously avoids giving any conclusion about its origin. It is clear from this report, however, that the creature is not a crude hoax as was cavalierly suggested by a Complutense scientist who suggested (while remaining anonymous) that the whole thing was a hoax made with bird bones.

The second transcribed document is a forensic medical report written by Dr. Francisco Etxeberria Gabilondo, a professor of Legal and Forensic Medicine in the Basque Country University, and specialist in Forensic Anthropology with the Complutense University, who wrote the study at the bequest of the IIEE (probably for a fee, although that is not mentioned). Dr. Etxeberria wrote that, “it’s a mummified body with all typical the characteristics of a fetus. The body has a length of 14 cm and displays all the structures and anatomical links normal for the head, trunk and extremities.” He continues with a detailed description of each part of the body and finally gives his overall view:

“Taken as a whole, the proportions of the anatomical structures (skeleton and softer parts), the level of development of each one of its bones and its macroscopic configuration, allow us to interpret it without any shadow of doubt as a completely normal mummified fetus…Both based on the total length of the body as well as the length of the bones, it can be estimated that it’s a fetus in an approximate gestation period close to 15 weeks.”

The next question is how did this fetus, if that’s what it is, showed up in the abandoned area near the old church of La Noria where it was found by Oscar Muñoz wrapped in a cloth. Obviously nobody knows but Dr. Etxeberria speculates that it could a bit old but probably not an ancient mummified fetus. He explains that due to their lack of “bacterial flora in the digestive tube, which is where the putrefaction of corpses begin,” and other factors, fetuses can be preserved quite well. To this we must add the environmental conditions of the Atacama region, which is the driest desert on Earth, and is perfect for the preservation of objects of various kinds. In fact, the area near the city of Arica is famous for its 10,000-year old mummies far older than those from Egypt, but Dr. Etxeberria explains that it’s unlikely to be very ancient, meaning by that hundreds of years.

The Greer connection

The final part of Ramón Navia-Osorio’s long article describes briefly how Dr. Steven Greer became involved in this case. The link was made by Dr. Bravo, a female doctor from Dallas, who brought Dr. Greer to the IIEE office in Barcelona. The Spanish researcher mentions here some of the claims contained in the promotional material released by the producers of the Sirius documentary, including DNA sequencing which allegedly found the Atacama being had an “unknown classification.” Until we see the film, we can’t judge how valid is the scientific evidence presented.

That, in essence, is the saga of the little mummy from its early days in the Chilean ghost town to Spain’s scientific labs. In his final conclusions, Navia-Osorio writes that, “we are not among those who claim that it’s an ET, although morphologically speaking it really looks similar to some of them. We can’t deny that, but before asserting it we must consider other possibilities. In summary, we don’t have conclusive proof that can determine the nature of the specimen.”

Pope says baptism for all - even Martians

Vatican City: Pope Francis has declared everyone has the right to be baptised, even aliens should they come knocking on the church's door.

Christians cannot "close the door" to all those who seek baptism even if they are "green men, with a long nose and big ears, like children draw," the pope said at his daily mass on Monday, according to Vatican Radio.

"If tomorrow, for example, an expedition of Martians arrives and some of them come to us ... and if one of them says: 'Me, I want to be baptised!', what would happen?" Francis said in another display of his lively sense of humour.

The Argentine pontiff known for his down-to-earth style has often used colourful and humorous expressions to make his points on the direction of the Roman Catholic Church.

On baptism Francis has stressed that it should not be refused, especially to children whose parents may be breaking Church rules such as living together as an unmarried couple.

Open letter to the U.S. Air Force regarding allegations of UFO disinformation

I sent this letter to the U.S. Air Force on July 11, 2013 to solicit an official response to allegations by ex-special agent Richard Doty of the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) that he participated in spreading UFO disinformation. Among his claims, he says he broke into a civilian’s home, created hoaxed documents, and lied to two U.S. Senators. Some of these are criminal acts that he claims he committed on orders from his superiors in the AFOSI. Whether or not this is true, these acts were committed while he was an AFOSI special agent, and I believe the U.S. Air Force needs to respond.

After working with the AFOSI public affairs department on Freedom of Information Act Requests (FOIA) related to this incident, I was told I would be able to speak to someone who could give me an official response. However, once I received the documents I was told they had nothing further to say.

**********

Allegations of Criminal Misconduct

Air Force Office of Special Investigations Agent Richard Doty claims to have partaken in the acts of misinforming members of congress, breaking into the private residence of a civilian government contractor, and disseminating known forgeries of government documents while on active duty in the 1980s. Furthermore, he claims to have committed these acts on the orders of his superiors at AFOSI.

Although his claims have garnered a large amount of public attention, including having been the subject of several books (including one by New York Times Journalist Howard Blum), and were directly related to the government contractor mentioned above having been temporarily committed to a mental health facility, the U.S. Air Force has yet to comment on the veracity of his claims.

Was the U.S. Air Force involved with these criminal acts, as claimed by Doty, and if not what was done regarding his conduct?

Background

Beginning in the 1980s, Paul Bennewitz began reporting strange lights over the Manzano area of Kirtland Air Force Base, and claimed to have recorded unusual signals emanating from the base (1). Bennewitz was the owner of Thunder Scientific, a humidity company with contracts with Kirtland and several other branches of the military and government contractors (2). He believed the lights and signals were due to extraterrestrial activity (3).

According to documents retrieved from previous FOIA requests, officers at Kirtland looked at his evidence on two occasions and decided not to investigate (1)(3). Bennewitz contacted Senator Harrison Schmitt and Senator Pete Domenici, both of whom made inquiries about the status of the investigation on Bennewitz’s material to Air Force Office of Special Investigations Special Agent Richard Doty. In both cases, Agent Doty informed the senators that there was no AFOSI investigation on this matter (3)(4). Likewise, the files do show that after each review of Bennewitz’s material, it was recommended that an investigation not be initiated (1)(3). This is the extent of the material regarding Bennewitz and AFOSI in these files.

However, Richard Doty has since claimed that he lied to the senators on behalf of AFOSI, and that there was a disinformation campaign underway against Bennewitz. According to statements he has made to several associates, and on at least one national radio program, he told Bennewitz there was an investigation and he gave Bennewitz hoaxed material to support this claim (5). The first such document was given to Bennewtiz after Senator Schmitt’s inquiry, and just prior to Senator Domenici’s (3)(4)(14).

According to Doty, and witnessed by others, he continued his campaign to convince Bennewitz that he was actually experiencing extraterrestrial phenomena for several years. New Mexico state police officer Gabe Valdez claimed in interviews with me that he was present when Doty flew Bennewitz over the town of Dulce, New Mexico (6). Doty claims he convinced Bennewitz that there was an alien base under nearby Archuleta Mountain.

It was during this time that Doty claims he was ordered to break into Bennewitz’s residence. He told this to the author of a book on his disinformation activities titled, Project Beta: The Story of Paul Bennewitz, National Security, and the Creation of a Modern UFO Myth (7), and to retired U.S. Army Colonel John Alexander (8). Eventually, Bennewitz became so paranoid regarding an extraterrestrial invasion that he had to spend time in a mental institution (5).

Doty continues to spread information on UFOs and aliens he alleges to have received while working for AFOSI (5). Many of the documents he disseminated during his campaign against Bennewitz have grown into huge modern mythologies, spawning books, movies and TV shows.

Although on two occasions the Air Force has stated that documents pertaining to this matter, allegedly dispensed by Doty, are not real (9)(10), they have not spoken to whether Doty was under orders, as he claims, when he lied to the senators, broke into Bennewitz’s home, and dispensed material to Bennewitz making him believe he was under investigation. The question then is not whether the documents are hoaxes, but whether Doty hoaxed these documents under his own volition, or was ordered to do so as a part of a disinformation campaign, as he claims is the case.

If Doty was not acting under orders, this would mean he was forging government documents while he was an active AFOSI agent. In that case, AFOSI needs to respond to whether they were aware of Doty’s activities, and if so, what action was taken. It would be surprising to find AFOSI was not aware of this sort of criminal activity going on for several years by one of their agents. Doty has indicated he was demoted at one point, however, this is not documented in the military records I obtained through FOIA, nor is the reason for this demotion (11). It is also unknown whether this demotion has any relation to the apparent criminal activity related to this case.

The official AFOSI Bennewitz files

These files have been obtained separately through FOIA requests by UFO researcher and author William Moore, Citizens Against UFO Secrecy (CAUS), and Navy physicist, Bruce Maccabee.  Because of the multiple sources, and the high credibility of Dr. Maccabee and the files released by CAUS, I believe these documents to be legitimate. The USAF has informed the recipients that these are all of the files related to AFOSI and Bennewitz. I am seeking confirmation through my own pending FOIA request (Case # 2013-03291-F). [This was written prior to the fulfillment of my FOIA request, which was fulfilled August 2, 2013, and  included the same documents I reference here. View the documents I received here.]

The first document is a Multipurpose Internal OSI Form dated October 28, 1980, and signed by Major Thomas Cseh. The subject is “Alleged Sightings of Unidentified Aerial Lights in Restricted Test Range.” It states that Bennewitz contacted Doty through Major Ernest E. Edwards. Bennewitz claimed to have “knowledge and evidence of threats against Manzano Weapons Storage area.” On October 26, 1980 Doty, along with Jerry Miller, Chief Scientific Advisor for the Air Force Test and Evaluation Center at Kirtland, went to Bennewitz’s residence and conducted an interview. It is noted that Miller had experience investigating UFOs with Project Blue Book. They reviewed photographs, 8mm film, and recording tapes showing periods of high levels of electrical magnetism emitted from the Manzano/Coyote Canyon area. They noted Bennewitz also had surveillance equipment pointed at the base to record high frequencies (1).

They concluded that there were some type of “unidentified aerial objects” caught on the film, but they could not determine whether they posed a threat. They also found the electronic recording tapes to be inconclusive. They informed FTD [Foreign Technology Division] of their findings who wanted to inspect Bennewitz’s data, and briefed their command. However, it was noted that command “did not request an investigation at this time (1).”

The second file is another Multipurpose Internal OSI Form dated November 26, 1980, and also signed by Major Thomas Cseh. The subject is again, “Alleged Sightings of Unidentified Aerial Lights in Restricted Test Range.” The report describes a meeting that took place on the base on November 10, 1980, between Brigadier General William Brooksher, seven other officers, and Bennewitz. Bennewitz presented film and photographs which he believed to be of alien spacecraft, and described how he believed he was in contact with these aliens. He requested a grant to further research his interactions. One of those present, Dr. Lehman, Director of the Air Force Weapons Laboratory at Kirtland, told Bennewitz he would help him fill out paperwork to request a grant from the USAF (3).

This document then states that on November 17, Doty advised Bennewitz that AFOSI would not investigate the objects, and that they were “not in a position to evaluate the information and photographs.” It also says that on the date of the report, November 26, 1980, Doty received a phone call from Senator Harrison Schmitt inquiring about AFOSI’s role in the investigation of the sightings reported by Bennewitz. Doty advised Schmitt that AFOSI was not investigating the phenomenon and referred him to another AFOSI district. Schmitt declined and said he would check with the Secretary of the Air Force to determine the correct USAF agency to investigate the phenomena. The final note in this document is that Bennewitz had many conversations with Senator Schmitt, and Schmitt had in turn called Brigadier General Brooksher on multiple occasions regarding Bennewitz’s sightings (3).

The third document is an AFOSI communication form noting a meeting between Senator Peter Domenici and Doty regarding Bennewitz. It is signed by Colonel Frank Huey. It says that the IG [Inspector General] contacted AFOSI to advise them that Senator Domenici wanted to talk to Doty. Colonel Harvell approved the meeting, and Domenici, who was already in the IG’s office, went directly to speak to Doty. The report then says a subsequent check was made with Domenici’s aide, Mr. Tijeros, to find out what they wanted to discuss with Doty. Tijeros said they wanted to know whether AFOSI had conducted a formal investigation of Bennewitz. Tijeros was informed that there was no formal investigation. Tijeros indicated that Senator Domenici will likely make no further inquiries into the matter (4).

These three documents seem to indicate that AFOSI humored Bennewitz by examining his evidence, but did not engage in a formal investigation. Doty served as the point of contact to inform Senators Schmitt and Domenici, as well as Bennewitz, that AFOSI would not be investigating Bennewitz’s alleged alien evidence.

Richard Doty’s claims

The source for the claims I am referring to is a radio show appearance by Richard Doty on February 27, 2005. It was on a night time program called Coast to Coast AM, with a very large international listening audience. Although Doty has done many other interviews, they are almost all in print or online. Often his claims vary from one interview to another, and when pressed on this point, Doty often denies he made the statements. This includes a book he is credited as co-writing titled, Exempt from Disclosure. He claims he did not write the chapter credited to him, although his co-author notes he did sign the paperwork to authorize the book and cashed the checks for payment. Either way, I use the radio interview because it is similar to the core story he has been portraying in other interviews, and is one of the few sources with his verifiable direct statements.

According to Doty, in reference to his visit to Bennewitz’s residence with Miller on October 26, 1980, he says “The report was that this person had sufficient knowledge and the right equipment to tap into sensitive communications equipment and sensitive projects that was (sic) occurring in Kirtland.” The radio host, Art Bell responded, “Alright, somewhere in the mix of all this comes disinformation. In other words, you are going to admit tonight, I believe, that you dispensed disinformation, is that true?” To that Doty responds: “That is absolutely true.” Doty explained that this was done to protect base secrets. He said, “what we did is that we convinced him that what he was picking up wasn’t anything classified from the base, but in fact it was probably of alien origin (5).”

Doty says that Bennewitz also believed there was an alien base under Archuleta Mountain, near Dulce, New Mexico. Doty claims he worked with personnel from Ft. Carson to help perpetuate this idea. Doty explains, “We had a couple of black helicopters, and we had some things planted onto the ground around Archuleta peak, and just to convince him that what he was actually looking at, what he thought, actually was an alien base (5).”

Doty said that this disinformation campaign was an easier way to handle Bennewitz’s collection of sensitive Air Force activities than making him stop. He says, “It was easier for us to have done it that way than to get a warrant, a search warrant and a seizure warrant and seize all of his property and seize his equipment. What would that do? That would cause a lot of publicity, and the wrong type of publicity the base wanted (5).”

Bell asked Doty if he was aware that Bennewitz eventually ended up needing psychiatric care. Doty responded, “Yes, and I visited Paul a number of times.” He continued, “I was trying to convince Paul, and I went to his son to do this, that ‘hey, everything we told you before, Paul, isn’t true.’ And I explained to him why we were doing it, but he never believed me (5). “

Bell asked if he had any remorse for what happened to Bennewitz, to which Doty replied, “…it upset me what happened to Paul. I mean I went and tried to talk to Paul about it, against my commander’s orders. He told me, ‘Hey, he doesn’t have the clearance. You can’t go over there and tell him this stuff didn’t happen.’ But I did anyway, because I was concerned about Paul (5).”

Bell then asked Doty if there were other cases of UFO deception that Doty was involved with. He replied, “…pertaining to just UFOs, it was the four operations.” One of which he said was regarding researcher Linda Howe. He says, “…we invited her to Kirtland, we showed her some information pertaining to UFOs, we showed her a document and tried to bring her in and hook her on a hook, and she took it initially and then we carried on a contact with her over a period of time, meeting her at different locations and providing her with some information.” This is important because Doty has denied bringing Howe to Kirtland in the past, and has also denied showing her anything on UFOs. However, according to Howe, the document she was shown is very similar to a hoaxed document given to another UFO researcher, William Moore (5).

Doty elaborated on his association with Moore, saying, “Bill Moore was recruited by another person within Defense Intelligence Agency to provide disinformation.” In a letter to the editor in the July 15, 2000 issue of Saucer Smear, Doty wrote, “Moore was a coded source for OSI. That means he provided intelligence information that was documented. He was paid for his information. Moore was used to provide disinformation to Ufologists (12).” Although the details change, to my knowledge, Doty has never denied Moore’s involvement (5).

Finally, in regards to all of this, Doty claims in the radio program, “I followed orders. Everything we did was following orders (5).”

Although Doty claims the Bennewitz affair was disinformation, he also claims he was briefed on UFOs when he joined AFOSI. He says the briefing stated, among other things, “[Roswell] was real. We had an alien. It was in captivity up until 1951. He was kept at Kirtland and he was kept at Los Alamos. He died in the later part of 1951.” Doty also claims the alien liked strawberry ice cream and Tibetan music (5).

Hoaxed documents

This section will review hoaxed documents linked to Doty, most of which are connected to the events we have reviewed thus far. We will also review one document that surfaced just prior to Doty’s interactions with Bennewitz. The significance here is that if Doty is to be believed, these documents, which have had a significant impact on the UFO research community and society in general, are official fabrications of the USAF. If these documents were not created in a disinformation campaign, then Doty either alone or with others, participated in hoaxing official government documents.

Moore, the UFO researcher mentioned in the radio program, was co-author, with Charles Berlitz, of the book The Roswell Incident, which was published in 1980. It was the first book on the alleged UFO crash in Roswell. He says that in 1980 he was approached by a high level intelligence official, the same person Doty referenced earlier as working in the DIA, who said he and others knew the truth about UFOs and wanted the information out, so they would help him with his work. Moore gave this man the code name “Falcon” and says the he was told he would work primarily through a liaison that turned out to be Doty. Many have speculated that Doty was Falcon, but Moore denies this (13).

Moore says he began providing Falcon and Doty information on the UFO community and Paul Bennewitz. During a speech at a UFO conference in 1989, Moore said, “My role in the affair was largely that of a freelancer providing information on Paul’s current thinking and activities. I had nothing whatsoever to do with the counterintelligence and the disinformation (13).” However, he later claimed he was involved with dispensing at least one hoaxed document (14).

Moore says he worked with Falcon and Doty until 1984 (13). Rumors of his involvement with government agents eventually lead him to come clean in the aforementioned speech in 1989, at which point he retired from UFO research. In 1990, along with his research partner, Jamie Shandera, he released a document called The MJ-12 Documents: An Analytical Report, which analyzed the documents related to the Bennewitz Affair.

The first hoaxed document Moore examines is not part of the Bennewitz affair, but it does have links to Doty. It is a letter, along with an Air Force Incident/Complaint Report, from Ellsworth Air Force Base, regarding a UFO encounter. The letter claimed the incident had occurred on November 16, 1977, and was subsequently classified on December 2, 1977. The author claims he wanted to get the information out before the Air Force covered it up. The letter was sent to the National Enquirer (14). According to Bob Pratt of the National Enquirer, those named in the letter were questioned, and the letter was determined to be a hoax (15).

It is included in Moore’s report because he says Doty was stationed at Ellsworth at the time (14). Military records for Doty I obtained also show Doty was at Ellsworth from 1976 to 1979 (11). When Moore asked about the document, Doty told him he was aware of the “operation,” to create the document, but did not have any direct involvement (14).

The second document is a letter sent to a UFO organization called the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) in July of 1980 about a UFO sighting that was witnessed by Craig Weitzel near Pecos, NM. It claims Weitzel was stationed at Dobbins AFB, but was visiting Kirtland. The letter claims a man in a black suit told Weitzel he saw something he should not have and demanded photographs of the object that Weitzel had taken. The man writing the letter claims he was a friend of Weitzel’s, and was himself stationed at Kirtland. He said Weitzel had spoken to an OSI agent named “Mr. Dody (sic)” about the matter (17).

Moore worked with APRO at the time the letter was received. He says the letter was loosely based off a real sighting, but was a hoax. He also says he didn’t know it then, but he found out later that Doty had written this letter. He says Doty told him the letter was meant to draw someone out of APRO who could provide information on Bennewitz, which, as we have seen, Moore eventually did end up participating in (14).

The third document is the first piece of disinformation allegedly given to Bennewitz. Moore says the document was given to him by Falcon and Doty to give to Bennewitz (14). The document was an alleged secret AFOSI teletype dated November, 1980. It was regarding analysis of Bennewitz’s photographs and alleges that this investigation is part of a secret project called Aquarius “with restricted access to ‘MJ Twelve’.” It claims NASA is monitoring the case and that AFOSI is gathering evidence and forwarding it to NASA (18).

Moore says he was given the document in March of 1981, but because he was hesitant to give knowingly false information to Bennewitz, he did not deliver it until late that summer (14). This timing is notable, because it was late summer, specifically July 30, when Senator Domenici went to Kirtland to ask about the Bennewitz investigation (4). Although Bennewitz and Senator Schmitt had already been told there was no AFOSI investigation (3)(4), the receipt of this document could explain why Bennewitz and/or Senator Domenici believed there was an investigation in the summer of 1981.

The fourth document is a list of notes allegedly used to brief President Carter on the UFO situation with bombastic claims of Air Force cover-ups regarding crashed UFOs, alien technology, interactions with aliens, etc. The cover again mentions Project Aquarius and “MJ12″ (19). Moore says he was allowed to view and photograph this document in March of 1983 (14). In April of 1983, Linda Howe says she was invited to Kirtland Air Force Base by Doty and shown this document, or one very similar. As noted above, in the radio interview, Doty confirms this (5).

The fifth and final document is an MJ-12 Eisenhower briefing. This document was sent to Moore’s research partner, Jamie Shandera, on December 11, 1984, in a package from Albuquerque, New Mexico. The document was on 35 mm film (14). The document’s content shows similarities to the alleged Carter briefing, including the mention of MJ-12 (20)(14), first referenced in the teletype (18). It was also sent from Albuquerque, where Doty lived at the time and was still stationed at Kirtland AFB. However, Doty denies having created or sent the document (14).

Moore also denies having created the document (14). Allegedly acting on an anonymous tip, Shandera and Moore claim to have found a supporting document in the National Archives on July 18, 1985. This document is a July 14, 1954 memo from Robert Cutler, Special Assistant to the President, to General Twining regarding a “NSC/MJ-12 Special Studies Project.” It is a short memo and discusses the date and time of a meeting. It does not allude to the nature of the meeting (14). The National Archives has since released a paper outlining 10 points that “pose problems” for the authenticity of the document (22). Otherwise, there has yet to be any verifiable official reference to MJ-12.

The FBI undertook an investigation of the MJ-12 Eisenhower Briefing due to multiple requests. That investigation included a request to AFOSI headquarters inquiring about its authenticity. AFOSI claimed the document to be “bogus,” however, neither they nor the FBI have commented as to the document’s origins (9). To date, AFOSI has not commented on whether they have any involvement with the creation of the documents, as alleged by their own AFOSI agent, who, as demonstrated, was very closely related to the individuals who allegedly were anonymously given these documents, a document which also shares similarities to other documents that he asked to be given to Bennewitz, and had shown Moore and Howe.

According to Doty, “The FBI did an investigation on me because of the MJ-12 documents. It was 88 or 89… They thought I disclosed those documents (5).” If this is true, the results of their investigation have yet to be revealed.

Conclusion

Due to the extent at which the mythology created by Doty’s official or non-official disinformation campaign has worked its way into an alleged hidden history of Air Force and U.S. government secrecy, and due to the negative impact these events had on Mr. Bennewitz and his family, we deserve a response from the Air Force on their involvement, or non-involvement in this matter. Mr. Doty is now a sergeant for the New Mexico State Police, based out of Grants, and he continues to make wild accusations about the Air Force’s secret knowledge of UFOs and aliens. If he was not under orders to fabricate these documents, as he claims, then his employers and those he continues to attempt to perpetrate hoaxes upon, deserve to know this.

Ex-Air Force Law Enforcement Agent Says He Hoaxed Major UFO Mythologies

I have been researching UFOs for many years, delving deep into the underbelly of UFO lore, and one name seems to frequently pop up. His name is Richard Doty, and in the 1980s he was a special agent for the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) stationed at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He claims that while he was there he was tasked with hoaxing documents and feeding false information to UFO researchers. The Air Force refuses to comment on whether they knew of his activities and whether his claims of partaking in this activity at the behest of his superiors is accurate.

It wouldn't be so bad if his stories of UFO crashes and secret UFO management groups, such as the fabled MJ-12, were not the subject of a large amount of books, movies, video games, television shows, and who knows what else. He says he even acted as a consultant for The X-Files, which is one of the very few tall tales of his that might actually be true.

Doty's story has changed over the years, and some of the details of the stories are conflicting. In frustration with this whole situation, I decided to send the Air Force Freedom of information Act (FOIA) requests to find out more. I also wanted an official response regarding whether he was ordered to create these hoaxed documents.

At first the AFOSI Public Affairs Chief was very helpful. She expedited my request, and I received some very interesting documents. I was told that when my FOIA request was fulfilled, she would help me find someone I could talk to for an official statement. However, once I got the documents, she would no longer talk to me.

What was in the documents was very interesting and corroborated some of the legend around the Doty affair. The story begins with a man named Paul Bennewitz, who owned a humidity equipment company with contracts with Kirtland AFB. His house and office were near Kirtland, and he believed he was seeing UFOs over a part of the base that housed nuclear weapons. He also believed he was receiving transmissions from the aliens that flew those UFOs. Surprisingly, the Air Force humored him. They sent out Doty and an officer to investigate, but AFOSI decided that further investigation was unwarranted.

A few days later, Bennewitz was allowed to present his evidence to some of the officers and scientists at the base. He wanted a grant to conduct more research, and one of the scientists said he would help Bennewitz fill out the paperwork for the grant.

The documents also state that two U.S. senators from New Mexico had called or shown up at Kirtland to check on AFOSI's investigation of Bennewitz and his E.T. contacts. Apparently, Bennewitz had sought their help. Both times the senators were told there was no investigation.

Doty claims what the senators were told was not true. Doty says he was told to make Bennewitz believe there was an impending alien invasion because Bennewitz was actually observing secret Air Force projects. According to Doty, the Air Force wanted to discredit Bennewitz so no one would figure that out. However, Doty claims that in doing so, he created hoaxed documents that were given to Bennewitz and other UFO researchers, and that he broke into Bennewitz's house and office, some if not all of which is illegal.

I have been able to confirm that Doty did give Bennewitz documents that would make him believe he was under investigation, even though Doty told both senators that this was not the case. Bennewitz eventually checked into a mental health facility due to paranoia. Doty was successful, and Bennewtiz was convinced of the immanent alien invasion. This entire affair is incredibly unscrupulous, and Doty claims he did it all under orders. Doty is now a sergeant with the New Mexico State Police in Grants.

I think the Air Force needs to respond to Doty's claims. I have drafted a letter that I sent to the Air Force asking for a response. I have yet to receive one. I have posted this letter online along with extensive references to my sources and the FOIA documents I received. Take a look and let me know if you agree that the Air Force needs to address this situation once and for all.

Lying About Your Nuclear Age

(Before It's News)

About a week ago, the Internet was buzzing about an explosion that was detected in Iran. The various reports on the internet claimed that in their quest to destroy the United States Iran has triggered a massive explosion which appears to be nuclear in nature. The explosion went off in the city of Qazvin. It was reported that the entire city was burning and that the 1.1 million people that lived in or around the area had to have perished in the explosion.

The Los Angeles Times first suggested that the blast could have been a nuclear development accident. Israeli National News reported that: “The blast may be related to nuclear development in Iran, according to the Los Angeles Times. Iranian officials in the past have strongly denied claims by Mujahedin Khalq Organization, or MKO, a cult-like Iranian exile group, that it has a secret nuclear enrichment facility in Abyek, near the major city, according to the daily.”

Reports have surfaced however that the blast may not have been so severe.

According to Al Arabiya News, Iranian officials have since waived rumors of a nuclear explosion as, “incorrect.” Balls of flame were seen shooting into the sky however as oil storage facilities that were burning out of control and raged on through the night.

Now the question is, how is it that a nuclear explosion has happened in Iran and there seems to be not one report of it in the mainstream? Many forums where the report was filed has asked for intelligent discussion on the matter and the overall thoughts being expressed is “Who cares?” and, of course, the obligatory posts of how we should be celebrating the incident as a victory for our side and that why should we care if Iranians are blowing themselves up with nuclear weapons.

I think that what is being missed here is the important fact that there are simply no real facts coming forward about the explosion and whether or not it was a nuclear accident.

Are we that uncaring that we are willing to just ignore the environmental impact of a nuclear explosion because of our hatred for a group of people?

It wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for Iran to cover up reports of a nuclear blast, but if proven false who is responsible for the disinformation campaign. I have an idea because it has been done before.

Back in January of 2013, as AntiWar.com reported, “Israeli government officials aggressively promote an unsubstantiated story about an explosion at an Iranian nuclear facility. The Israeli government has been notorious for pushing stories such as these without any evidence. Israeli government officials willfully reported false stories about Iran in order to legitimize a war of aggression in the Middle East. Israel isn’t the only country to create a false story to legitimize war. It happens more that we care to admit because for the war hawks it is your ignorance that gives them their strength.

It is with lies and ignorance that wars are started and war chests are opened as the banks set the stage, name the enemies and finance both sides for the slaughter.

The time we wake up to this is the time we truly become free.

In the main lobby of the CIA headquarters is an old axiom taken from the bible that reads “And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” The irony of the statement posted in the main lobby of the CIA is that we know that many of the alphabet organizations are fanatically devoted to deceit and lies.

We have seen time and time again the quantity of lies and deceit that have been used to make the CIA and other intelligence operations the monstrous entities that they are today.

With the wars that have been prolonged to the deaths, assassinations and executions associated with the wars we fight, we realize that truth is a casualty of war and ignorance becomes a spoil of war and as any spoils of war may come, it is the ignorant that prevail in America and the ignorance is encouraged by pundits who are paid a lot of money to keep that ignorance intact.

It is highly discouraging to see discussion on the nightly news that exemplifies the ignorance that has become a commonality in America, and what is worse is how lie upon lie can be thrown out to the American people and they swallow it up without even thinking that there is a reason why certain topics and ideas have been slated for the national dialogue and others are ignored.

I realized that there are weaponized words in America that silence any discussion. One of those weaponized words is ‘racist’. The most uncomfortable thing to realize is that if anyone shouts ‘racist’ at an opposing view we begin to see the opposing view lose its ground regardless if the opposing view even had anything to do with the race card.

We are seeing tactics being used in the media that prove that if you push a negative long and hard enough it will break through and stick and any counter argument or even a logical, well-thought out debate cannot be used against an already well thought out agenda.

Personalizing an argument –freezing it in a negative light, and then displaying it makes it “truth” in the eyes of Americans that love the drama and sick pleasure of schadenfreude.

We are losing the pleasure and freedom of the intellectual argument without jumping to unnecessary conclusions because of certain ideas that somehow exonerate the foolish because their race or religion keeps them from being questioned.

The race card is only one weapon that is used to kill an intellectual argument. We are now hearing the words “domestic terrorist” being used to malign anyone that questions the laws or even the maneuvers of a government that is there to lie and to obfuscate.

The words “conspiracy theorist” has also been used in the same breath as domestic terrorist. Even those who use “conspiracy theorist” as a pejorative are not even using it correctly because most of the time that moniker is used against anyone who questions the mainstream narrative and proposes a new narrative based on inconvenient evidence that has been presented and ignored by the mainstream press.

During the Cold War, the U.S. and the Soviet Union relied on a strategy that used to be termed, “mutual assured destruction”. It was the idea that in order to hold off a nuclear planetary holocaust there would always be threat that one would happen. It was a way to hold the entire earth hostage with their massive nuclear arsenals. We were told that each superpower had safely stashed away enough nuclear power to absorb a “first strike.”

‘Safely’ was a relative term as we all knew that tens of millions of citizens would be dead, wounded or irradiated to the point of a slow and painful death.

When the Soviet Union fell, the nuclear weapons disappeared and yet they went nowhere. It was merely a “feel good” move to realize that the godless communists had fell and that both the United States and Russia would cooperate in providing a safe world for everyone.

But with all of the lying with regard to our nuclear age, perhaps we all had to feel like we could fake it and pretend that a cold war could be warmed with understanding. However it seemed the warmth has been stifled with pure and exhausting ignorance about such matters as foreign policy with Russia.

Recently a unique poll was carried out by political scientists Kyle Dropp from Dartmouth College, Joshua D. Kertzer from Harvard University and Thomas Zeitzoff from Princeton University. The poll was taken because the political scientists wanted to know how many Americans could locate Ukraine on a map and how this related to their view of what the US reaction ought to be to the crisis in that area.

According to the Washington Post, the results weren’t all that surprising:

“We found that only one out of six Americans can find Ukraine on a map, and that this lack of knowledge is related to preferences: The farther their guesses were from Ukraine’s actual location, the more they wanted the U.S. to intervene with military force.”

This shows that for the neo-cons and war-hawks of the world our ignorance is their strength.

The question now has to be asked: Should Americans today make an effort to know anything outside of their little worlds and interests in order to make sound decisions with regard to what battles we fight?

Here we are in America determined to watch, yet again, a painful apology from Donald Sterling and the riveting attack on Jay-Z and Beyonce in an elevator and yet it slips our minds or doesn’t register that the situation in Ukraine was brought about by the US and European Union support of the coup d’état that put a radical group of Neo-Nazis in charge of the Ukrainian government.

It was not done by democratic means; the democratically-elected president of the Ukraine had to flee to save his life. For the Russian majorities in East Ukraine, that was not only “proof” of intended harm, it was a direct aggression against their freedom. But we live in a country that believes that it did all the heavy lifting in liberating the world from Hitler – and that Soviet Union only helped.

We also have a hard time grasping at the fact that Putin is the President of Russia because he was voted into that position. He was chosen by the Russian people to do a job. It should be an American position to respect that position.

However we are puzzled over a map an its complicated geography with regard to where it all fits on a map and whether or not a our foreign policy has been hijacked by the same miscreants that orchestrated the September 11th, attacks and the policies that were proposed a year before the attacks that in order to have a stronger military there needed to be an unforeseeable “new pearl harbor” that would guarantee perpetual war.

Back then I am sure many Americans did not know where Iran was on a map or even Afghanistan; however, they did know where to find them if they were looking at potential targets for aggression. That speaks volumes for America doesn’t it?

I think our biggest problem is that we see that the ignorant encourage that we remain mired in the militaristic mindset.

However, we are seeing more and more people that are learning that we are being lied to in this nuclear age and that the war hawks will lie and cover up all kinds of inconvenient history in hopes that the ignorant will continue to perpetuate the disinformation.

MILITARY JET IN PURSUIT OF HUGH TRIANGLE OVER TENNESSEE

(Before It's News)

APRIL 22, 2014      MORRISTOWN TENNESSEE

Shape: Triangle

Duration: 2-3 minutes

3 larger lights formed a  triangle, 1 smaller dim light on top, all non-flashing, fast/silent flight, military jet in pursuit.  I was outside walking when I noticed a large solid ball of yellowish- white glowing light. I thought I was seeing a planet at first but way too large.  It appeared to not be moving, so I called for my father and grandmother to look. We watched as it began moving closer until it flew over us at a much lower altitude than any commercial jet would fly, and was moving to other horizon, and by the time I got to the backyard to finish watching, it had vanished.  When I was in backyard trying to find it again, a Military Jet appeared in same flight path about 2 minutes later, and my father and I confirmed that it was a military jet from our military experience, and we knew it was a jet from the obvious sound we heard once it had moved on as well.  The UFO had a very fast smooth flight with no noise and I couldn’t make out the individual lights until it was over head. At a distance it was huge! We are in shock.  I’m a 30 years old Navy Brat, my Father is 62 and a 20 Year Navy Veteran and my grandmother age 86.  NOTE: The above image is a rendering.

Japanese Time Traveller who Vanished for 300 years – Urashima Tarō

(Before It's News)

Urashima Tarō – Time travel

In Japan, the legend of Urashima Taro describes the tale of a fisherman’s visit to the protector god of the sea- Ryūjin in an underwater palace for what seemed like only three days. When he returns to his fishing village, he finds that it’s been 300 years that he’s been gone. Everything that he knew of was long gone, his family, friends and his way of life, everything had changed in what seem to be for him only a few days.

One day a young fisherman named Urashima Tarō is fishing when he notices a group of children torturing a small turtle. Tarō saves it and lets it to go back to the sea. The next day, a huge turtle approaches him and tells him that the small turtle he had saved is the daughter of the Emperor of the Sea, Ryūjin, who wants to see him to thank him.

The turtle magically gives Tarō gills and brings him to the bottom of the sea, to the Palace of the Dragon God. There he meets the Emperor and the small turtle, who was now a lovely princess, Otohime.

Tarō stays there with her for a few days, but soon wants to go back to his village and see his aging mother, so he requests Otohime’s permission to leave. The princess says she is sorry to see him go, but wishes him well and gives him a mysterious box called tamatebako which will protect him from harm but which she tells him never to open. Tarō grabs the box, jumps on the back of the same turtle that had brought him there, and soon is at the seashore.

He asks if anybody knows a man called Urashima Tarō. They answer that they had heard someone of that name had vanished at sea long ago. He discovers that 300 years have passed since the day he left for the bottom of the sea. Struck by grief, he absent-mindedly opens the box the princess had given him, from which bursts forth a cloud of white smoke. He is suddenly aged, his beard long and white, and his back bent. From the sea comes the sad, sweet voice of the princess: “I told you not to open that box. In it was your old age …

Time travel & Ancient Stargate portals are Real and Exist on Earth Today!

(Before It's News)

On September 26, 1905 in Bern, Switzerland, Albert Einstein published his special theory of relativity. According to his astonishing scientific breakthrough, space and time are one, opening the page for many questions such as: “time travel, a possibility?”

In the old theory of Newton, space was a rigid container and time was an absolute flow while in Einstein’s theory, this was revolutionized. Space now became a flexible medium, and time could now be altered. Einstein realized that if you move faster, the ticks on your clock actually change. Prior to Einstein, no one understood that or would even have expected that, because it only happens when you get very, very close to the speed of light. There is a way within the laws of physics to travel long distances and still be alive, and that actually is related to special relativity and the idea that if you can travel very, very close to the speed of light, time will slow down for you. And in this sense, if you could travel very near the speed of light, only a day or two would pass, instead of the whole four years.

What we find interesting is that through out our history, there are said to be many more tales of time travel some of them dating hundreds or thousands of years.

In the popular TV series Ancient Aliens, Erick von Danicken states that there is evidence of time travel found in the Bible, and here is the quote: “In the Bible, the prophet Jeremiah was sitting together with a few of his friends, and there was a young boy. His name was Abimelech and Jeremiah said to Abimelech, “Go out of Jerusalem, there is a hill and collect some figs for us.” The boy went out and collected the fresh figs. All of a sudden, Abimelech hears some noise and wind in the air, and he become unconscious, he had a blackout. After a time he wakes up again, and he saw it was nearly the evening. So when he runs back to the society and the city was full of strange soldiers. And he says, “What’s going on here? Where is Jeremiah and all the others?” And an old man said, “That was 62 years ago.” It’s a time travel story written in the Bible. – von Däniken. So is this a possible  tale of time travel evidence written down in the bible?

After searching for this text in the bible we could not find any evidence of it written down, so if you check out the Holy Bible you will see that there is no such text, illustrating what von Däniken claims to be true. Although in some transcripts in Latin and Greek, a similar story can perhaps be interpreted but still not as von Däniken stated it to be. Perhaps in this occasion Erick got confused.

Time travel – India

in the ancient Indian text of the Mahabharata, written in the eighth century BC, King Raivata is described as traveling to the heavens to meet with the creator god Brahma, only to return to Earth hundreds of years in the future. Some researchers believe this Hindu tale may be one of the oldest records of successful time travel in the ancient past. So there’s in fact the story of a king called Raivata, and he is taken into space to see the gods, when he returns to the Earth he finds that many years have passed and in fact its been hundreds of years, time travel?. Some attribute that this is the  kind of thing that would happen to space travelers and in time travel.

Urashima Tarō – Time travel

In Japan, the legend of Urashima Taro describes the tale of a fisherman’s visit to the protector god of the sea- Ryūjin in an underwater palace for what seemed like only three days. When he returns to his fishing village, he finds that it’s been 300 years that he’s been gone.

Mysterious Artifacts With Spine-Chilling Nephilim Origins …

(Before It's News)

Archaeologist aren’t anything like the movies paint them out to be. Most of the time they sit around sift dirt in hopes of discovering something exciting. Given a little time archaeologist can stumble upon some rather interesting artifacts that defy the very nature of logic and convention….

1. The Giant Rock Monument Under the Sea of Galilee….

A team of Israeli archaeologist, in 2003, were performing a seabed survey on the Sea of Galilee. While digging they uncovered an artifact that shocks many of them, to this day…..

 This image may look like a smudge, but to the trained eye, its much more! Up close, this giant rock under the Sea of Galilee, is composed of thousands of meticulously arranged stones. It is cone shaped and measures 230 feet in diameter and stands 39 feet high, weighing 60,000 tons. Making this mysterious stone twice as large as Stonehenge and 6 times heavier than the Eiffel Tower.

Scientist at this time are unable to speculate just how old this object is, claiming it can be anywhere from 3,000-6,000 years old. One thing they agree on however, is that the stone was more than likely built on land and flooded later. If you are a Bible believer, such as myself, that means that this stone was built pre-flood of Noah. Meaning this was more than likely built by the giant race of Nephilim spoken of in the book of Genesis.

At this time the purpose of the stone is unknown, but some believe it was either an artificial fish nursery, a ancient European burial site, or a Reverse Atlantis.  

2. Thousands of Circular Wheel Patters

Back in 1927, RAF pilot Percy Maitland stumbled upon these unique wheel like stone patters while on a routine mail delivery flight. These patterns were up to 230 feet in diameter and there were thousands of them across the landscape.  They are easily seen on Google Maps and can be found from Syria to Jordan to Saudi Arabia and some are grouped in clusters, while others are more isolated. There is no suspected rhyme or reason to their laying.

No one, at this time, seems to know why they there or how they got there. Archaeologists have studied thousands of these images over the years and found no convincing explanation for anything. Although some man-made structures can be found near these circles, there is still no definitive answer.  Some speculate they could be associated with burial rituals or possible alien launchpads, but then again this is just speculation.  

Tribesmen, who live in the area however, claim that they are the workings of “old men” or “ancient men”. It is likely then that the creators of these mystifying circles are the Nephilim Giant race found in the Bible. They are the ‘ancient men’ of times past, and the only ones capable of creating things on such a grand scale.

3. Teotihuacan, the Real Temple of Doom

Outside of Mexico City exists a place known as Teotihuacan. It is a vast city of pyramids and palaces. It could house up to 250,000 persons and was a bustling metropolis. Teotihuacan was discovered by the Aztecs but not built by the them. They discovered it hundreds of years after its creation when the original inhabitants had abandoned it.

 The question their in lies who lived there, who created it, and how on earth did they build such a gargantuan city?  

According to Aztec folklore, this amazing city was built by the ‘gods’. Teotihuacan, the name given to the city by the Aztecs literally means “place of the gods”. At this time no other theory exists, no writings, no discoveries can explain this monolithic structure whose origins seem to be shrouded in mystery. However, Biblically speaking, there is an answer. If this so called city was created by the ‘gods’ it’s also likely that such massive rocks and carvings were the workings of the Nephilim race of giants, yet again. These beings were claimed to be ‘gods’ by many of our ancient ancestors. Although, biblically speaking they are pure evil, because of their size and birth by fallen angels and humans, many hailed them as such.

One other thing that points to the Nephilim giants as one of its inhabitants, is the fact that hundreds of human skeletons were discovered sacrificed inside one of the pyramids, ringing an eerie likeness to the Book of Enoch that speaks of these Nephilim giants as cannibals.   

4. Piri Reis Map of The World Pre-Continental Split

 In the beginning God created the world as one big land mass. However today, we’ve got continents scattered all over the place because of things like Noah’s flood, earthquakes, volcanoes, and shifts in the earth’s crust.   

A map discovered in the early 1500′s displays exactly what the world looked like, pre- Noah’s flood. This map is known as the Piri Reis Map and according to it, was compiled from earlier maps dating back to the 300′s.

Charles H. Hapgood, who wrote a book about the maps mysteries titled, “Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings”, discovered a partial charting of Antarctica made during a period when the coast was free of ice. This coastal structure, now covered again by ice, was subsequently verified by satellite radar scanning.

Here is an image of Antarctica turned sideways: 

Here is the Piri Reis map showing the area that coincides geographically with Antarctica, it’s  underlined in red (look to the lower right):

 The Piri Reis map shows amazing details including accurate latitude placement of many well known islands along the southern most coastlines of Antarctica, which would be near impossible for people to create who were living in that time period. They just weren’t technologically advanced enough….or were they. 

What Hapgood actually proved was that the Piri Reis map was plotted out in plane geometry, containing latitudes and longitudes and right angles in a traditional “grid” fashion. Meaning that this so-called un-advanced generation, was advanced more than we realized or had some sort of outside help from a Nephilim race of UFO’s. There was definitely something else going on!

One shocking find on this map is the fact that it not only claimed the earth was round, but it was also able to pinpoint the circumference within 50 miles! The accuracy of it is beyond any capabilities of men living at that time unless they had some sort of aerial transportation.  It is no coincidence, however, that this map covers between Peru to Egypt:

In Egypt there are hieroglyphs of every type of aerial machine, and multiple plane designs.

 In Peru there are many plane designs and hot air balloons captured in miniature images. There is also evidence that the Peruvians used hot air balloons along with geoglyphs  and what appear to be landing strips on top of mountains.

It is possible that this ancient civilization was aided by Nephilim technology? If so the Piri Reis map would explain it.

If not how else do you explain an accurate aerial map of all of the continents, during a period when most of the scientific world believed the earth to be flat?

5. Antikythera Mechanism  

 This Mechanism is considered the world’s fist analogue computer. It was discovered when sponge divers, in Antikythera, dove in off the coast in 1900AD and found this in ocean.

This archeological find dates back to the 2nd century BC, making it well over 2,000 years old and it is a complex system of gears, dials and cogs with amazing precision. Scientist agree that it represents something that would not be seen again until the rise of clocks thousands of years later.

Many speculate that it was used as an astronomy calculator that predicted and measured the cycle of planets in relation to the Sun, Earth, and Moon.

This mechanism has been x-rayed, studies, and attempts have been made to reconstruct it, however its very existence still seems to baffle the minds of scientists today.

What is coincidental is the fact that off the coast of Crete there is a unique historical record of ancient robots of “immense size”. Furthermore there is a story in Crete of a robot named Talos, who hurled boulders at ships. If we take this into consideration it’s likely that this story represents the Nephilim Giant race and therefore likely that the Nephilim equipped the humans with the technology to create such an artifact.

The video below contains some other unique artifacts you might find interesting…

African Zulu Shaman Credo Mutwa’s Reptilian Alien Experiences

(Before It's News)

For more high strange visit www.churchofmabusradio.com

Location. Inyangani, Eastern Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia)
Date: 1959 Time: daytime

Credo Mutwa (now a Zulu Shaman) had been instructed by his teacher to go into the woods and look for a certain herb in order to cure a certain initiate who was badly ill. As he looked for the herb all of the sudden the temperature around him dropped, although it was a very hot African day. He suddenly noticed that it was now cold and there was what appeared to be a bright blue mist swirling around him. Flabbergasted he just sat there wondering what was going on. Suddenly he found himself in a very strange place, a place that looked like a tunnel lined with metal. The metal was silver-grayish in color. He was lying in what appeared to be a very heavy and large working bench or a working table, but he was not tied to the table. He was just lying there and his trousers were missing and so were his heavy boots which he always wore when he was out in the bush. All of the sudden he saw what appeared to be dull, heady-looking gray, dull-like creatures which were moving toward him. There were lights in the room, but not normal lights; they resembled patches of glowing material. And there was something above the far entrance which looked like writing against the silver gray surface. The witness watch mesmerized as the creatures headed in his direction, he was frightened and could not move his arms or legs. The creatures were short, about the size of an African Pigmy, with very large heads, very thin arms and very thin legs. He realized that the creature’s limbs were too long for their bodies and their necks were very thin and their heads were almost as large as full grown watermelons. They had strange eyes, which looked like goggles of some kind. They had no noses, only small holes on either side of the raised area between their eyes. Their mouths were lipless, and resembled thin cuts as if made by a razor. And while he was looking at these creatures in amazed fascination he felt something close to his head and when he looked up, there was another creature, a slightly taller one that the others and it was standing above his head and was looking down on him. He looked into its eyes and felt totally hypnotized; he realized that the creature wanted him to keep looking into its eyes. As he looked up he could see the creature’s real eyes behind the black goggle-like covers. Its eyes were round, with straight pupils, like those of a cat. And it was not moving its head, it was breathing, he could see the nostrils moving. The creature had a strange smell like a throat-tightening, chemical smell, which smelled like rotten eggs, and also like hot copper (sulfur). The creature saw Credo looking at it and looked down at him and suddenly Credo felt a terrible, awful pain on his left thigh as if a sword had been driven into it. He screamed in pain, calling out for his mother, and then the creature placed its hand over his mouth. It had long thin long fingers which had more joints than the human fingers have. And the thumb was in the wrong place. Each one of the fingers ended in a black claw, almost like certain African birds. The creature was telling the witness to be quiet, but he kept screaming. And then all of the sudden “something” was pulled out of his flesh and he looked down and saw his thigh covered in blood and he saw that the creatures (there were four of them, other than the one standing over his head) wore tight-fitting overalls, which were silvery gray in color, and their flesh resembled the flesh of certain types of fish. And the creature standing above his head appeared to be a female. It was somehow different than the others. It was taller, bigger, although it didn’t have breasts like a woman, it appeared to be feminine and the others appeared to be afraid of it (the witness does not know how to describe this). And then while this was going on another one of the creatures came up to the witness, walking sideways, in a slightly jerking manner, as if it was drunk, it walked up along the table to his right side and it stood next to the one standing above his head. And before he knew what was happening this creature stuck something that was like a small silver ball-point pen with a cable at one end, it pushed it coldly into Credo’s right nostril. At this point Credo felt incredible pain, blood splattered all over the place. He choked and tried to scream, he pulled the cable off and attempted to struggle and sit up. The pain was horrible but the creature standing over his head placed its hand upon his forehead and kept him down with little force. He was choking and trying to spit out the blood and he then managed to turn his head to the right and spit out the blood. Soon the pain went away and strange visions flooded his head. Visions of cities, some of which he recognized, cities which were half-destroyed, the buildings having their tops blow away, with windows like empty eye sockets. He saw these visions again and again.
All the buildings were half-drowned in reddish muddy water. And then before he knew it one of the creatures, the one standing next to his feet, drove something into his penis, but there was no pain, just a violet irritation, as if he were making love to something or someone. And then when the creature withdrew the object, which was like a small black tube, the witness involuntarily and without being able to control himself urinated straight into the chest of the creature which had pulled the object from his penis. The creature jerked away and nearly fell, and then it recovered and staggered away like a drunken insect and left the room. And then after a while, the other creatures went away, leaving Credo with a dull pain in his nostril with blood on his thigh and the table wet with urine. However the creature standing over him had not moved, it just stood there with its right hand touching its left shoulder in a strangely beautiful and feminine way. It stood there looking at him. There was no expression on its face. He never saw the creatures talk or make any sound of any kind. And then out of nowhere there arrived two other creatures, one of which was made entirely out of metal, it was very tall and large and it walked with a slight stoop, moving forward and it was definitely not a living thing. It was a metal creature, a robot of some kind. It came and stood near the witness feet its whole body clumsily bent looking down at Credo. There was no mouth, there was no nose. There were just two bright eyes, which seemed to change color and seemed to move somehow like the crackling of an electrical device. And then behind this huge, bent creature, came a creature which stunned the witness. It was very swollen in appearance, it had pink skin, with blondish, very human hair, and it had very bright, blue slanting eyes. It had hair which looked like nylon fiber of some kind. It had high cheek bones and an almost human mouth with full lips and a small pointed chin. The creature was definitely a female but totally out of proportion in nature. Its breasts were thin and pointed, and set too high upon its chest, not where a normal woman’s breast would be. Its body was powerful almost fat, but its legs were too short and its arms were too short in proportion to the rest of its body. And it came towards Credo, looked down on him and before he could react, it had somehow “mated” with him. To Credo it was a horrible experience. And after that after the creatures had gone, leaving only the one standing above his head. This creature then gripped Credo by his hairs and forced him to get off the table. Once he did that he was so weak that fell onto his knees on the floor.
He noticed that the floor was strange; it had moving patterns on it, which kept on changing and shifting purple, red and greenish patterns on a metal gray background. The creature then pulled him by the hair again forcing him to stand up and pushed him roughly and made Credo follow it. The creature pushed him slowly from room to room. Amongst many things, he saw huge cylindrical-shaped objects made of what appeared to be glass of some kind. And in this objects, which reached from the roof to the floor of the room was what appeared to be sort of a grayish pink liquid. And in this liquid he saw small “editions” of the alien creatures floating around and around inside the liquid. He was then in another room where he saw people, and other strange creatures, lying on tables. He passed a white man, who smelled like a human being, who appeared terrified. This white man was lying on a table like the one Credo had been lying and he looked into his eyes and the man looked into his as he went by. And then Credo found himself in the bush. His trousers were still missing and there was a terrible pain in his left thigh. There was a pain on his penis which was starting to swell and when he tried to urinate, the pain was excruciating. He took off his shirt and used it as a loincloth to walk through the bush.

New NASA Report Confirms Billy Meier’s Warnings about Disastrous Glacial Melt

(Before It's News)

According to NASA, “Melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet is likely unstoppable, two new papers published Monday indicate.” Please read everything at, and linked from, here pertaining to the glaciers melting, the rising of the seas and the related, unavoidable effects that humanity now faces…for the foreseeable future. We also reported on related developments last year. Those who’ve followed Billy Meier’s specific, prophetically accurate scientific information already know that he had repeatedly warned about this exact kind of irreversible, unstoppable environmental damage and all of the related consequences. This damage, which has its roots in climate change and global warming – which have their roots in the very politically incorrect but unavoidably real…overpopulation – directly threatens huge numbers of people who live in coastal areas worldwide. In fact, the actual number is enormously higher, according to information posted here. And of course contributing to this increasing unfolding disaster are the still very present effects of the BP disaster. Please reread the entirety of Meier’s 1964 predictions and see if it just may make good sense now to delve deeply into the core of the Meier information, the spiritual teaching, which is rich in practical information that’s essential to human survival on many crucial levels. But of course the know-it-all skeptics and the ridicule fearing scientists, will still come up with their avoidance, song and dance dismissals, etc., etc., etc. Naturally, they forget that they live in the same world that all the “other” people do, where survival just may trump fame and funding. Oh, and did we also forget about…Fukushima?   The people were warned… And Did They Listen? Thanks to Matt Wieczkiewicz and Bob Wiegand for their research.

Cold War Spy-Satellite Images Unveil Lost Cities across the Middle East

(Before It's News)

National Geographic

Cold War reconnaissance photos triple the number of known archaeology sites across the Middle East.

A study of Cold War spy-satellite photos has tripled the number of known archaeological sites across the Middle East, revealing thousands of ancient cities, roads, canals, and other ruins.

In recent decades archaeologists have often used declassified satellite images to spot archaeological sites in Iraq, Turkey, and Syria. (Related: “‘Lost’ New England Revealed By High Tech Archaeology.”)

But the new Corona Atlas of the Middle East, unveiled Thursday at the Society for American Archaeology’s annual meeting, moves spy-satellite science to a new level. Surveying land from Egypt to Iran—and encompassing the Fertile Crescent, the renowned cradle of civilization and location of some of humanity’s earliest cities—the atlas reveals numerous sites that had been lost to history.

“Some of these sites are gigantic, and they were completely unknown,” says atlas-team archaeologist Jesse Casana of the University of Arkansas, who presented the results. “We can see all kinds of things—ancient roads and canals. The images provide a very comprehensive picture.”

The team had started with a list of roughly 4,500 known archaeological sites across the Middle East, says Casana. The spy-satellite images revealed another 10,000 that had previously been unknown.

The largest sites, in Syria and Turkey, are most likely Bronze Age cities, he says, and include ruined walls and citadels. Two of them cover more than 123 acres (50 hectares). (See also: “Drought Led to the Collapse of Civilizations.“)

Signs of ancient habitation are visible in this satellite image of Tell Hamoukar in eastern Syria.

But, says Casana, “it’s not just new places to excavate. We have a real way with all these sites to look across the whole Middle East and see how it was connected.”

The new Middle East atlas reflects both the opportunities and challenges facing archaeologists, who must handle ever larger amounts of data from excavation sites and entire regions, says information-science scholar Eric Kansa of the Alexandria Archive Institute in San Francisco, who spoke at the meeting. “This is big data,” Kansa says. “We have the opportunity to really blow up the scale of our efforts in archaeology.”

Cold Warrior

The end of the Cold War led to the public release of Corona spy-satellite images by U.S. defense officials almost two decades ago. The spy satellite made images from 1960 to 1972, and the atlas samples only some of the 188,000 images taken from 1967 to 1972 by the last generation of the satellites. The images of the Earth’s surface, intended to expose Soviet missile bases and military camps, had a resolution of two meters (6.6 feet).

A missile launch site near Chelyabinsk in the USSR is outlined in this 1969 image.

Current imaging satellites, such as the privately owned DigitalGlobebased in Longmont, Colorado, return better resolution images, but “they can’t go back in time,” says Casana.

The Corona images, he explains, were made before cities such as Mosul in Iraq and Amman in Jordan overran the many archaeological sites near them. Dams have also flooded river valleys, covering many other archaeological sites. As cities grew, the industrial farming and irrigation that supported them grew too, obscuring roads and sites clearly visible in the spy-satellite images. (Related: “The Dam That Will Flood Homes and History Across Southern Turkey.”)

“Even with much better resolution, we can’t see a site that someone has covered up with a building,” Casana says.

Information Warfare

“This project is just incredible,” says Syro-Palestinian archaeologistDavid Schloen of the University of Chicago. “It’s amazing what their atlas can do.”

The mapping team, for example, set up their site to allow you to look at the 1960s images of a given location side by side with views of it today.

The 1960s image at left captures an area of southern Iraq’s marshes, many of which have since been drained. The photo at right is of the same location in the early 2000s.

Corona satellites photographed the Earth in swaths 120 miles (193 kilometers) long by 10 miles (16 kilometers) wide. Film strips were delivered from space inside parachute-equipped buckets, and the film’s stretched and distorted views of the Earth required special optics to sort out. The existence of the photographs was officially kept secret until 1992.

Much of the atlas team’s work has involved tying landmarks in the Corona images, purchased from the U.S. Geological Survey, to mapped landmarks in modern-day images. The landmarks also helped computers remove distortions in the original spy-satellite images.

“We don’t want to stop here,” Casana says. Many of the Corona images cover other areas of great interest to archaeologists, including Africa and China.

“Corona is amazing,” he says. “We really have coverage from almost everywhere.”
