Last month, Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan unveiled his next science-fiction blockbuster.
Called Interstellar, it envisages a future where travel to other stars is not only a possibility but a necessity, and tasks actor Matthew McConaughey with leading the main mission.
But a Nasa scientist claims such a mission isn’t necessarily just something reserved for science fiction - and has revealed a Star Trek-style ship that could make interstellar travel a reality.
Pictured is an illustration of Dr White's IXS Enterprise, an interstellar ship drawn by artist Mark Rademaker that could be an accurate representation of what the first mission beyond the solar system will look like. The IXS Enterprise is a theory-fitting concept for a faster than light (FTL) ship
Dr Harold White is famous for suggesting that faster than light (FTL) travel is possible.
THE 100-YEAR STARSHIP PROJECT
The 100-year Starship Project is a joint endeavour run by Darpa, Nasa, Icarus Interstellar and the Foundation for Enterprise Development.
Announced in January 2012, the project has an overall goal of achieving manned interstellar travel by 2112.
To do so it is evaluating a number of different techonolgies, including ‘warping’ space time to travel great distances in short time frames at faster-than-light speeds.
The project is also considering building ‘generation ships’ that move slowly but have a self-sustainable long-term population.
To date Nasa has contributed $100,000 (£60,000) to the project and Darpa $1 million (£600,000).
Using something known as an Alcubierre drive, named after a Mexican theoretical physicist of the same name, Dr White said it is possible to ‘bend’ space-time, and cover large distances almost instantly.
This, in essence, would allow a spaceship to travel almost anywhere in a tiny fraction of the time it would take a conventional spacecraft.
The ship in Nolan’s Interstellar movie, as well as those in Star Trek, employ a warp engine.
And, in a series of new renders, Dr White reveals how a real spacecraft dubbed the IXS Enterprise could do the same thing.
The images are based on the artist who created the original look for the famous USS Enterprise ship from Star Trek - Matthew Jeffries.
To make the latest renders Dr White employed the help of artist Mark Rademaker and graphic designer Mike Okuda.
Trailer: Interstellar starring Matthew McConaughey
The ship has a number of features that make interstellar travel possible. This includes the two rings surrounding the central spacecraft - these are known as an Alcubierre drive and are used to 'warp' space-time and travel many light years in a matter of days
The engine for Dr White's ISX Enterprise is based on something known as the Alcubierre drive. As shown in the illustration above this stretches space-time in a wave that causes the fabric of space-time ahead to contract while expanding the space behind, theoretically allowing 'faster than light' travel
Although the speed of light is seen as an absolute, Dr White was inspired by Miguel Alcubierre, who postulated a theory that allowed for faster than light travel but without contradicting Einstein.
Alcubierre's theory was published in 1994 and involved enormous amounts of energy being used to expand and contract space itself - thereby generating a 'warp bubble' in which a spacecraft would travel.
Allowing space and time to act as the propellant by pulling the craft through the bubble would be like stepping on an escalator
Despite Dr Alcubierre stating his theory was simply conjecture, Dr White thinks he and his team are edging towards making the realm of warp speed attainable.
This illustration shows Dr White's design in its entirety. Struts around the spacecraft show how it would be directly attached to the rings. At the front is the 'bridge' where the crew would conduct operations on the spacecraft. Towards the back is the cargo area where so-called exotic matter for fuel would be store.
According to Gizmodo, their engine could get to Alpha Centauri in two weeks as measured by clocks on Earth
The process of going to warp is also one that is smooth, rather than using a massive amount of acceleration in a short amount of time.
'When you turn the field on, everybody doesn't go slamming against the bulkhead, which would be a very short and sad trip,' Dr White said.
However, Dr White admits his research is still small-scale and is light years away from any type of engine that could be constructed into a spaceship like the USS Enterprise.
In Christopher Nolan's upcoming film Interstellar, due for release in November, a team of astronauts undertake a mission beyond the stars to save humanity. To get there they use an Alcubierre drive, shown above in a clip from the film - the same engine envisaged by Dr White of Nasa for his Star Trek-style spacecraft
The ship at the centre of Dr White's IXS Enterprise would need to be small enough to fit inside the rings and it would need to not stick out too much. This is because when the rings are activated they will create a 'warp bubble', and anything outside of this will be cut off when the jump is made, according to Dr White
Look familiar? Dr White's design for the IXS Enterprise bears a striking similarity to the USS Enterprise as seen in various Star Trek TV shows such as Star Trek: The Next Generation, seen here. In the show this science vessel was used to 'explore strange new worlds' and 'seek out new life and new civilisation'
To make the dream a reality Dr White has laid out a road map with important milestones that will need to be met along the way to achieving true interstellar travel.
This begins with tests on Earth to prove the technology is possible.
These initial experiments are very crude and very basic - but, if proved, there is, in theory, no limit to how it can be applied.
The next step will be to use the warp technology on a spacecraft and complete a short trip to the moon, followed by a trip to Mars.
This would ultimately test the technologies that would be necessary to complete ‘jumps’ beyond the solar system and reach destinations in a matter of months, weeks or even days.
Illustrated here is a previous design from Dr White and Rademaker. This concept had a number of flaws. First, the rings were too thin, meaning they would have needed too much energy for warp travell. Second, part of the ship extends out of the rings, which would have been cut off when the 'warp bubble' was created.
The main limitation is energy - previously it was thought mass equivalent to a planet would be necessary to provide the energy required for a warp jump.
But revised suggestions suggest mass similar in size to a car might be more realistic.
The research has done enough to pique the interest of Nasa and other agencies.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa), for instance, is currently carrying out the 100-year-starship project with a view to sending humans outside the solar system at the turn of the next century.
The rings around the spacecraft (shown) would actually shift the surrounding space. The drive would require something known as exotic matter to work, hypothetical particles that violate the known laws of physics (possibly such as dark matter), but as of yet none have been found or created
The main limitation of the concept, (pictured) is energy - previously it was thought mass equivalent to a planet would be necessary to provide the energy required for a warp jump. But revised suggestions claim mass similar in size to a car might be more realistic
Warp travel is the focus of the 2014 movie Interstellar. A scene from the Christopher Nolan film, Interstellar, is pictured here. In the film lead character Cooper, played by Matthew McConaughey, is tasked with joining a team for an interstellar mission aboard an Alcubierre-inspired spacecraft to save humanity.
UFO mania: "Lizard People" Underground in Los Angeles.....
UFO mania: "Lizard People" Underground in Los Angeles.....
The Hopi Indians of northern Arizona have traditions that recall a time when their "Snake Brothers" built and occupied underground cities in Arizona, California, Mexico and Central America.
Once such underworld city is believed to have been built on the west coast, near the Pacific ocean, under Los Angeles, California.
Strangely enough, one engineer's search for LA's mythological underground city gained enough credibility to have his efforts presented as front page news in the Los Angeles Times newspaper, January 29th, 1934.
"Lizard People's Catacomb City Hunted: Engineer Sinks Shaft Under Fort Moore Hill to Find Maze of Tunnels and Priceless Treasures of Legendary Inhabitants."
"Lizard People's Catacomb City Hunted
Engineer Sinks Shaft Under Fort Moore Hill to Find Maze of Tunnels
Busy Los Angeles, although little realizing it in the hustle and bustle of modern existence, stands above a lost city of catacombs filled with incalculable treasure and imperishable records of a race of humans further advanced intellectually than the highest type of present day peoples, in the belief of G. Warren Shufelt, geophysicist mining engineer now engaged in an attempt to wrest from the lost city deep in the earth below Fort Moore Hill the secrets of the Lizard People of legendary fame in the medicine lodges of the American Indian.
So firmly does Shufelt and a little staff of assistants believe that a maze of catacombs and priceless golden tablets are to be found beneath downtown Los Angeles that the engineer and his aids have already driven a shaft 250 feet into the ground, the mouth of the shaft being on the old Banning property on North Hill street, overlooking Sunset Boulevard, Spring street and North Broadway.
And so convinced is the engineer of the infallibility of a radio x-ray perfected by him for detecting the presence of minerals and tunnels below the surface of the ground, an apparatus with which he says he has traced a pattern of catacombs and vaults forming the lost city, that he plans to continue sending his shaft downward until he has reached a depth of 1000 feet before discontinuing operations.
LEGEND SUPPLIES CLEW
Shufelt learned of the legend of the Lizard People after his radio X-Ray had led him hither and yon, over an area extending from the Public Library on West Fifth street to the Southwest Museum, on MuseumDrive, at the foot of Mt. Washington.
"I knew I was over a pattern of tunnels," the engineer explained yesterday, "and I had mapped out the course of the tunnels, the position of large rooms scattered along the tunnel route, as well as the position of deposits of gold, but I couldn't understand the meaning of it."
Then Shufelt was taken to Little Chief Greenleaf of the medicine lodge of the Hopi Indians in Arizona, who's English name is L. Macklin.
The Indian provided the engineer with a legend which, according to both men, dovetails exactly with what Shufelt say he has found.
FIRE DESTROYS ALL
According to the legend as imparted to Shufelt by Macklin, the radio X-Ray has revealed the location of one of the three lost cities on the Pacific Coast, the local one having been dug by the Lizard People after the "great catastrophe" which occurred about 5000 years ago.
This legendary catastrophe was in the form of a huge tongue of fire, which,
"came out of the Southwest, destroying all in it's path," (continued on Page 5, Column 2) "...the path being several hundred miles wide."
The city underground was dug as a means of escaping future fires.
The lost city, dug with powerful chemicals by the Lizard People instead of pick and shovel, was drained into the ocean, where it's tunnels began, according to the legend.
The tide passing daily in and out of the lower tunnel portals and forcing air into the upper tunnels, providing ventilation and "cleansed and sanitized the lower tunnels," the legend states.
Large rooms in the domes of the hills above the city of labyrinths housed 1000 families "in the manner of tall buildings" and imperishable food supplies of the herb variety were stored in the catacombs to provide sustenance for the Lizard folk for great length of time as the next fire swept over the earth.
CITY LAID OUT LIKE LIZARD
The Lizard People, the legends has it, regard the lizard as a symbol of long life.
Their city is laid out like a lizard, according to the legend, it's tail to the Southwest, far below Fifth and Hope streets, it's head to the northeast, at Lookout and Marda streets.
The city's key room is situated directly under South Broadway, near Second street, according to Shufelt and the legend.
This key room is the directory to all the parts of the city and to all record tablets, the legend states.
All records were to be kept on golden tablets, four feet long and fourteen inches wide.
One these tablets of gold, gold having been the symbol of life to the legendary Lizard People, will be found the record of history of the Mayans and on one particular tablet, the southwest corner of which will be missing, is found the "record of the origin of the human race."
TABLETS PHOTOGRAPHED
Shufelt stated he has taken "X-Ray pictures" of thirty-seven such tablets, three of which have their southwest corners cut off.
"My radio X-ray pictures of the tunnels and rooms, which are subsurface voids, and of gold pictures with perfect corners, sides and ends, are scientific proof of their existence," Shufelt said.
"However, the legendary story must remain speculative unearthed by excavation."
The Lizard People, according to Macklin, were of a much higher type of intellectuality than modern human beings. The intellectual accomplishments of their 9-year-old children were of equal of those of present day college graduates, he said.
So greatly advanced scientifically were these people that, in addition to perfecting a chemical solution by which they bored underground without removing any earth and rock, they also developed a cement far stronger and better than any in use in modern times which they lined their tunnels and rooms.
HILLS ENCLOSE CITY
Macklin said legendary advise to American Indians was to seek the lost city in an area within a chain of hills forming,
"the frog of a horses hoof. The contour of hills surrounding this region forms such a design, substantiating Shufelt's findings," he said.
Shufelt's radio device consists chiefly of a cylindrical glass case inside which a plummet attached to a copper wire held by the engineer sways continually, pointing he asserts, toward minerals or tunnels below the surface of the ground, and then revolves when over mineral or swings in prolongation of the tunnel when above the excavation.
He has used the instrument extensively in mining fields, he said."

NEAR COLISION WITH AN ALIEN CRAFT OVER PERTH AUSTRALIA
NEAR COLISION WITH AN ALIEN CRAFT OVER PERTH AUSTRALIA
There seems to be a recent increase in UFO sightings around the world, and one interesting one from Down Under. The Australian Transportation Safety Board has the following report. Near collision between an unknown object and De Havilland DHC-8, VH-XFX, Perth Airport, Western Australia on 19 March 2014. Investigation number: AO-2014-052. On 19 March 2014, at about 0913 Western Standard Time (WST), a De Havilland DHC-8, registered VH-XFX, was on approach to Perth Airport from Kambalda, Western Australia. When about 23 km north-northeast of Perth, at about 3,800 ft. above mean sea level (AMSL), the crew sighted a bright strobe light directly in front of the aircraft. The light appeared to track towards the aircraft and the crew realized that the light was on an unknown object, possibly an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The pilot took evasive action turning towards the west to avoid a collision with the object. The object passed about 20 m horizontally and 100 ft. vertically from the aircraft. The pilot reported that the object was cylindrical in shape and grey in colour. It was at about 3,700 ft. AMSL and in controlled airspace. The crew did not receive a traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) alert. The airspace below 3,500 ft. AMSL was military restricted airspace. The ATSB was advised that the Australian Defence Force was not operating UAVs and was not aware of any UAV operations in the area at the time of the incident. The ATSB was not able to confirm the details of the object or identify any UAV operator in the area at that time. UAVs are increasingly available to recreational operators and their operation outside of the regulations may pose a significant risk to aviation safety. For anyone going to cry cover-up, it is not the responsibility of the ATSB to investigate UFOs, only air travel safety and identification of existing and potential threats to safety. “The ATSB was not able to confirm the details of the object or identify any UAV operator in the area at that time.” But that does not rule out the possibility of a privately owned unmanned drone either. Never the less this is an interesting report. NOTE: The above image is a rendering and special thanks to Henry Paterson.
I am glad to announce that I am in discussion with the leadership of MUFON about the Billy Meier UFO case. I have informed them that there are at least three more highly credible professionals in the fields of science and technology, who are now endorsing the authenticity of the Meier case and its evidence. These people wish to stay in the background for now but may be willing to participate in a public presentation with MUFON regarding the authenticity of the case.
SInce my contacts at MUFON have assured me that there is no willful complicity at this time with any parties to hide or suppress the Meier case, they also agree that this is indeed the most propitious time to make a definitive assessment and publicly express their position. I have asked that should MUFON disagree that the case is authentic, they present credible evidence that supports an opposing position and substantiates any claims against the authenticity of Meier’s evidence.
I should also make it clear that it is not necessary for any of the parties to agree with, or promote, the Meier case and its information, only that the matter of its authenticity be settled for the expressed purpose of…letting the public determine the truth, validity and value of the information, prophecies, predictions, spiritual teaching, etc., for themselves.

Witness statement:“I saw two bright white lights; at first glance I believed it to be an aircraft due to the close proximity of the lights; as they are situated either side of a fuselage. I noticed that the white lights had a blue hue around them. I thought this would be from xenon type lights where the light becomes refracted and can cause colour differentiation. I didn’t think much of it. This lasted around 10 seconds. I then noticed at the same elevation coming in from the south, another light. This light appeared to fly up toward the first light I had seen.”
Witness continues: “The movements of this smaller one were on par with a fighter jet. I kept watching and I believed that it was a jet intercepting an aircraft which had taken off from Heathrow. I then saw movements from this smaller one, like nothing I have ever seen before. It was sporadic, extremely fast and in no way continued to resemble a fighter. I know that if it was a fighter, I would only be seeing these lights when the back of the aircraft would be facing my direction; i.e. seeing the afterburner. This light was constant; it looked like a fly in the way it could instantly change direction. The velocity, in which it moved, would have resulted in aircraft stress; it would be destroyed. Nothing can move in the way this thing did. However around 5 minutes later, the original light reappeared; it did not move, it stayed where it was in the sky. Then, the light went off. I would say the objects were around 50- 70 miles away.”
Map of Kent
We then received this report of a sighting also in Kent.
Large brilliant white light with two smaller objects – these were seen at 11.10pm Thursday 5th June “flying” over Tunbridge Wells in Kent
Were these lights the same as seen in Wales? Is there a connection?The timing of the sighting is impeccable in correlation with the Welsh UFO’s.
Just what is happening over the skies of the U.K? Is the military testing new aircraft or perhaps there is a more rational explanation.

Former Coast Guard sailor reveals encounter with ‘humanoid creature’
A former U.S. Coast Guard sailor recalls an incident with a “transparent, oval-shaped craft” that moved within 200 yards of his vessel that revealed a “humanoid pilot” before quickly disappearing, according to June 13, 2014, testimony in Case 57018 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The incident occurred in late 1978 or early 1979 near Cuba on a “law enforcement Coast Guard cutter” while the witness was standing near the fantail with another sailor when the object was first seen.
“I witnessed a transparent, oval-shaped craft that cut across the back of the ship maybe 100 to 200 yards away,” the witness stated. The witness got a good look at the craft.
“I could clearly see a frame inside the craft and the humanoid pilot as he abruptly turned to look at us.” But the sighting was quick.
“As it glided from off to the backside to the back of the ship, in the blink of an eye it vanished. Many years later I found something online that looked exactly like the creature I witnessed.”

A part of North Carolina came dangerously close to being obliterated in 1961. A newly declassified report discusses a US bomber that broke in half while flying over the state in January of that year, causing the two nuclear bombs it was carrying to plummet to the ground near Goldsboro—and reveals that those bombs came much closer to detonation than was previously known. A parachute opened for one of the bombs, which landed intact; the safing pins that conducted power from a generator had been pulled, preventing a blast. Still, it completed five of the six steps to detonation, Fox News reports. Had two cockpit wires touched as the plane disintegrated, it could have exploded. As for the second bomb, it landed in a freefall, which caused the switch to flip to the “armed” position, RT reports.
What kept it from going off? “The shock also damaged the switch contacts, which had to be intact for the weapon to detonate,” the National Security Archive’s Bill Burr explains. The incident was first mentioned in a book by Eric Schlosser last year, but the report confirms just how close the US came to devastation. As CNN points out, the MK39 bombs had an explosive yield of 3.8 megatons; the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were 0.01 and 0.02 megatons, respectively. “There would have been a 100% kill zone for 8.5 miles in every direction,” said the Air Force weapons specialist tasked with disarming the bombs. “By the slightest margin of chance, literally the failure of two wires to cross, a nuclear explosion was averted,” Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara said at the time. – Newser
The impressive designs are based on Harold White’s real-life work developing a genuine warp drive.
White, who is head of NASA’s Advanced Propulsion Team, has been attempting to go where no physicist has gone before by designing a warp drive that will enable spacecraft to travel faster than the speed of light.
These new conceptual drawings based on his work were created by artist Mark Rademaker who took over 1,600 hours to make them. The impressive warp speed spaceship certainly looks the part and wouldn’t seem out of place in an episode of Star Trek.
“There’s no speed limit on the expansion and contraction of space,” said White whose warp drive concept involves bending space both in front and behind the vehicle to propel it forwards.
“You can actually find a way to get around what I like to call the 11th commandment: Thou shall not exceed the speed of light.” Read more at CNN
My wife and I were asleep and I heard tapping on the window that woke me up. I just rolled over and I mumbled “ignore it babe” vaguely in my sleep. It was very annoying because I had the next day off so I was actually planning to have a lay in — my one day off and I get woken up in the middle of the night. Rolling over and checking my phone time it says 2:34AM. I sense that I needed to use the bathroom and make my way out of bed. While opening the bedroom door I can see small red lights that appeared in our hallway and by now I’m fully awake. The lights were only there for a few seconds but were very bright and I shrugged it off as car lights. I know I wasn’t thinking right and a part of me knew that it wasn’t, but I honestly just wanted to do my business and then go back to bed.
Halfway down the hall I get to our toilet and fling on the light. I do my business and wash my hands. While wiping my hands onto our towel I quickly see something run past the door. I mean fucking run! We have no dogs because im allergic and we don’t have any kids yet.
Immediately my back is up and I slowly creep out of the hallway and fling on the lights. (so many horror films i’ve seen just walk out in the dark to investigate like wtf?) I make my way slowly to the bedroom and I double lock the bedroom door.
I figured that it was just some animal that somehow found their way into our house and me turning on the lights scared it away. I’d also like to see an animal undo a double locked door. I thought that i’d deal with whatever aftermath tomorrow morning.
I must have fallen asleep because I awoke to the light just creeping in from the curtains. Turning over to cuddle my wife I can see shes already awake and staring up at me. Her eyes straight away go from looking at me to the middle of the room.
In the corner of the room I saw the light creeping over to what looked like a small child, but it was shaped differently. It was hairless, had a massive head and it’s arms appeared to be longer than its legs. I imagined when it walked its arms must have dragged behind him or whatever. It was very very very skinny and it was crouched over on its knees just looking at the floor.
My eyes adjusted to what i’m actually seeing and the fear and the dread washed over me. I grabbed my revolver that I leave on the bed stand in one quick move and shakily pointed it at this being. My wife quickly turned on the bed stand light. It started to lift its head up to me and had the biggest..blackest eyes i’ve ever seen. It only had a slit for a mouth and it didn’t have any ears at all. Its still got its hands over its knees but now staring straight at me and for a second I was transfixed to staring into those eyes. I honestly felt that it was scanning me or searching me with them.
It got up and it must have been around the height to come to my hip. It’s still staring at me and I swear to you there was a very bright flash and the thing was gone. I don’t know where it went, how it managed to get through 2 double locked doors. Where was the light? What even was the light? Where did the thing go?!
I can’t explain it but after the light there wasn’t anything but my wife and i. I searched the dresser incase it may have jumped in there but nothing. I quickly grabbed my wife and we frantically went over to the neighbors house. Banging on the door my neighbor (that i’ve only met twice) came to the door saying “do you know what time it is?! oh shit. come inside”
He says he must have known something had happened for us to be running over there in the middle of the night. We’re now in his kitchen and i broke down in tears. I explained everything and how I failed at protecting my wife. I stressed my concern and confusion as to what this thing is or how it managed to get in and even out.
My neighbor opened the whisky bottle and said that we can stay there for the rest of the night. Him and I sat up talking while my wife curled up next to me on the sofa. She didn’t want to go anywhere without me or have her out of my sight. The next morning the three of us went back to our house and throughly searched the place. I straight away took the hallway.
We didn’t find a single trace of a break in. Everything was where it was left and nothing was out of place.
2010-02-02 – 6:23PM: The sighting occurred on a side street in an industrial neighborhood, a few blocks from the intersection of Capital and Palmer in Milwaukee, WI. A friend was in a meeting with a local community organization and I decided to stay in the car to make some work related phone calls. I had just finished up with the phone calls when I decided to step out of the car for a cigarette. I leaned up against the driver-side door of the car facing the South as I smoked. I noticed movement some movement to my right, and looked in that direction. An object anywhere from 4 to 5.5 feet long oriented perpendicular to the ground like so: | was floating about 15 feet off the ground. The object was moving from the West to the East at about 6 – 8 miles per hour with a very shallow guide slope, about 1 degree.
At first I thought that the object might be a kite cut loose from its string with how smoothly and quietly it was gliding along, until it passed underneath some power lines and a few feet later it ascended vertically by about 5 feet to clear the top of a building that it was headed for. It then moved parallel to the top of the building for about 300 feet until my view of the object became obstructed by another taller building to my left. The object was an imperfect cylindrical shape with a few small protrusions here and there.
When I realized that the object was not a wayward kite, I thought about reports of flying humanoids. However, the protrusions didn’t seem to fit with what was described in those accounts – additionally there was a brief metallic flash as light from a lamp post reflected off of the object – this does not seem to fit with the description of flying humanoids either. Other than the brief metallic flash the object was entirely black. The closest the object’s path took it to me was about 120 feet and I was able to observe the object for about 2 minutes, so I had ample opportunity to try to identify the object and for the life of me I cannot think of anything that this object could have been. Even after going home and doing a Google image search for UAVs nothing I have ever seen can match up with the description of this object. My reaction to this object was initially one of pure curiosity until after I had dropped my friend off at his place, then I became extremely nervous and scared.
NOTE: This report was initially posted on the MUFON CMS a few weeks after the encounter. I received an email with a similar description a few weeks after it was reported to MUFON (email acknowledged the MUFON report). The email was supposedly sent by a friend of the witness. Though I had some doubts, I was told that the witness had been very ill since the encounter and asked their friend to make inquiries. I never received a follow-up correspondence.
The object may have been a bio-form of some type…possibly similar to the flying ray-shaped objects that I have been researching since 2008. Lon
Majestic 12 is the name of an alleged organization created by President Truman to manage UFO and extraterrestrial investigations and maintaining strict secrecy in these areas. Many believe they have gone so far as to kill to keep secrets regarding interactions with the U.S. government and extraterrestrial civilizations.
The Majestic 12 (aka MJ-12) organization has become legendary in UFO circles, and has spawned a countless number of books and documentaries. It has even inspired TV shows and movies. The TV show Dark Skies was based on MJ-12, and MJ-12 thwarted Mulder and Scully several times on the X-Files.
The question begs, if this group is so super secret, like they are represented on TV, then how do we know about them? The answer to that question is a tricky one. Most references to the origins of these documents refer to a TV producer who received a mysterious package in the mail on a roll of film in 1984. When developed, the pictures contained top secret documents regarding MJ-12 and their research, including the recovery of crashed space craft and alien bodies.
However, what is often ignored, glossed over, or has just been lost to obscurity, is the fact that the first mention of MJ-12 was in a document that was alleged by Richard Doty, an ex-special agent for the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI), to have been created as disinformation. He says he gave the document to UFO researchers while he worked for AFOSI, and was order to do so by his superiors. He says this was only one incident in a campaign that lasted years.
Hesitant to take his word for it, I requested documents related to his claims from AFOSI via the Freedom of Information Act Request (FOIA). The documents I received supported some of what he said, but told a different story. They do document the interactions with AFOSI and one UFO researcher, but do not include passing him disinformation. In fact, they say two New Mexico state senators requested information about the nature of their interaction with the UFO researcher, to which AFOSI replied they received his information, but did not engage in any sort of formal investigation.
Doty says this isn’t true, and although the AFOSI documents do mention Doty as the person who relayed some of this information to the senators, he says all the while a disinformation campaign was underway. Whether or not it was, there is an abundance of information showing that, whether ordered to do so or not, he was dispensing disinformation. Some of which were the first alleged top secret documents referring to the elusive Majestic 12.
Could this AFOSI special agent have been selected as the pigeon to pass along these secret documents to UFO researchers as a government program to slowly disseminate the truth about extraterrestrial visitation to get the public ready for our inevitable introduction to the galactic neighborhood? Or could Doty have made all of this stuff up on his own? Or, as he suggests, could these documents have been made to make UFO researchers believe they were observing alien technology, when in fact they were catching glimpses of secret U.S. Air Force projects?
To be honest, I am not 100% sure what the answer is. Either way, the true history of the origins of the Majestic 12 documents is much more sordid than most are lead to believe. AFOSI did comment on the documents as part of a FBI investigation. They responded by returning the documents with the word “BOGUS” written on them in big black marker. You can find these document on the FBI’s website.
This whole affair is very complicated, but to break down the details, me and my friends at Openminds.tv have posted a video showing all of the players and the evidence. You can even download the documents at Openminds.tv. I implore you all to take a look and let me know what you think.
Location: Near Elizabeth New Jersey Date: October 11 1966
Time: evening
Two 16-year old boys, James Yanchitis and Marvin Muñoz were walking home along Fourth Street and New Jersey Street when they reached a corner parallel to the New Jersey Turnpike. There the Turnpike is elevated and there is an extremely steep incline going down from the busy stre…et above which leads to Fourth Street. A very large high wire fence runs along the edge of the other street below where the boys were walking, making it incredibly difficult to near impossible for anyone to want to climb up the incline to the turnpike above. There are bright street lights in that area, which gave the boys a good glimpse of what they called, “the strangest guy we have ever seen. Yanchitis noticed the strange entity first. “He was standing behind that fence”, he stated later to investigators. “I don’t know how he got there. He was the biggest man I ever saw.” “Jimmy nudged me”. Marvin Muñoz reported to police, and said, ‘Who’s that guy standing behind you?” “I looked around and there he was—then he grinned a big old grin.” There had been recent reported incidents of violence in the nearby neighborhood, such as a middle age resident being chased by a “tall green man” down that same street on the same night, so the boys fled quickly. The man was over six feet tall, they agreed, and was dressed in a sparkling green coverall costume that shimmered and seemed to reflect the street lights. There was a wide black belt around his waist. The boys also said, “He had a very dark complexion, and little round eyes…real beady…set far apart.” The most frightening and bizarre aspect of the encounter is the fact that they could not remember seeing any hair, ears, or nose on this figure.

Location: North Bergen New Jersey Date: January 12 1975
Time: 02:30 a.m.
It was 72-year old George O’Barski’s custom to drive to a nearby all-night dinner for a late snack before returning home. To get there, he’d drive through North Hudson Park to avoid traffic lights. On this night in January 1975, he had barely turned into the park when his radio began to emit heavy static. He slowed down to fiddle with it, grumbling to himself about the anticipated high cost of repair. His left hand window was half-open, as it was a mild night. The radio then cut out altogether, just as other things began to happen: “I heard this damned noise. I thought: ‘What the hell was that? No trucks (are) allowed in here…’and I saw over my (left) shoulder this—thing coming. It looked like a great big pancake that had puffed up, you know? It was flat, I would say, maybe six feet high, and the thing landed, right in front of me, in the park! “There’s some trees there (along the sidewalk on the left)…It landed just the other side of the trees. Then when I came ahead, there’s an opening there, and Jeez! I seen ‘em there, you know? I seem ‘em, people come right down!…It came in about ten feet off the ground, and that’s when they came out, and then it settled to the ground…but the little guys came out before the rest came down. “It was off the ground, and I seen this thing come down like a stairway, or ladders—I don’t know what the hell it was—and I seen all these guys come down…like kids coming down a fire escape. I’d guess, in round figures, then—might have been eight, nine, eleven. They were short! Maybe three and a half feet tall…and they had helmets on, or something. I couldn’t see their faces…But you could see their arms—they had gloves on, I could see that. The whole thing was a uniform, or something…It was dark (in color). And they had feet, legs same as any other person—only they were short! “They had these little shovels…like a handle on, like little bags, and they had these little shovels…might have been large spoons, or something—and they were working like little beavers, you know? All over the ground…Well, they filled these little bags up…There was light all through there because there were a lot of windows all the way around, like slits…maybe a foot wide, six to eight inches, and spaced apart about a foot, a foot and a half. “It was three minutes and they must’ve scooted up. As I say, they got out before it landed, got filled up, and by the time it landed they were able to get back in, right? And they took off. It was that quick. I hear this droning, you know? And I notice this thing—it just took off…and there was no propellers on it, or nothing! It just seemed to float, but boy! It went just like that!…I thought, man, either I am going crazy, or something’s awful wrong going on there, you know?…You know, even after I got through the park, (if) I seen a cop I wouldn’t ‘ve said a thing!” George forgot the late snack and headed straight for home. He went back the next day and found several little holes on the ground. They were about four inches, five inches wide, and six inches deep. O’Barski said he saw several antenna-like projections standing straight up above the dome. The sides of the object he explained were approximately six feet high, with another two or three feet at the highest point of the dome. He said the color of the object was dark, or black, and he described another “window,” or foot-wide band of light, that encircled the object where the sides and the dome met; this emitted the same incandescent colored light as the vertical panels around the sides. The doorway from which the occupants emerged was on the side of the object facing George’s closest position; it opened inward and was in complete darkness, about as wide as two of the vertical “windows.” The object did not descend all the way to the ground, but came down to about four feet, at which time the figures quickly re-entered in pairs. They looked like “little kids in snowsuits,” according to O’Barski, complete with shoes or boots that did not appear to be separate from the rest of the uniform. The covering over their heads was more like a ski-hood than an actual helmet. O’Barski said that the humming noise was more pronounced during the arrival and departure of the object, and he compared it to “a refrigerator that’s starting up.”
This is what my sister and I experienced in Death Valley Ca. I’m always looking for input from anyone who might have any information on it. My experience involves contact with beings from parallel universes. It happened in Death Valley National Park about three years ago up to the present. My sister is also involved. We would go down to the park quite a bit even before our encounter. Around 2007 or so I began to get sick when we would go to the park. I would get nauseous and we blamed it on car sickness but it only happened in the park. We kept guessing about air pressure etc but couldn’t come up with anything. A year or so later while driving along the salt flat my sister began to see an image of a thing that looked like a tall skinny vase stuck in the ground like a post. It had triangle flaps as if punched through from the inside with a can opener. There were one above another constituting 8 in all, equidistant on four sides of the device. Red light came from under the flaps which pointed downward and white light came from the top of the “vase”. The thing was round and had a v shape to the top. Over the next year she saw a lot of visions and would go into a trance like state sometimes mumbling strange words. A recurring character in her visions was a tall man about 7+ feet tall in a coarsely woven robe reaching to his ankles or there about. His eyes were had black irises, his hair was strait and black cropped evenly just above the shoulders. The thing that stood out was the size of his eyes, about twice the size of a normal persons. He resembled statues of the pharaoh Akhenaten in many ways. As time went on my sister saw other people that looked like the man in the robe but more human looking and smaller. Eventually one night at badwater basinmy sister began to see the man’s face , we walked out onto the salt flat and she tried speaking to the vision she was seeing. Nothing happened at first but then the man started speaking in some odd language very fast and excitedly. Our next encounter was two weeks later. My sister gets sick and disoriented in the valley as well and the encounter at badwater made her pretty sick. This time when she saw the vision , the man spoke broken English,he said his name was Kahalt he told her about his ancestors coming to the world he was on from another, and installing many devices like the one she saw on parallel worlds in that aria 5,000 years ago. The problem was that the devices worked on a machine brain interface, connecting peoples brains and other machines together across various worlds. The main purpose of the machines apparently was to allow people to “travel” as he put it between parallel worlds. What happened is that the brain interface was designed to fit Kahalt’s people not the local people found on that cluster of parallel worlds, and it resulted in killing off many worlds and filling others with sick or dieing people depending on how compatible they were with the machine.
Mary B. is a free-lance writer from Ohio. At around the age of ten she experienced an astral projection–or an actual physical encounter– it is all hazy to her now; but she remembers one night seeing a large spaceship hovering about twenty feet off the ground in her backyard.
A door opened in the bottom of the craft, and a light beamed down. A woman in a white gown appeared to Mary. Mary, reared as a Roman Catholic, somehow assumed the woman was Joan of Arc. She was not afraid of the glowing woman, and the entity gave her a message that she still, as an adult person, cannot understand very well.
When she was eleven, a man in a spaceship came and took Mary inside of it. She remembers that it was all white, except for a purple object on a low white table. The experience seemed to have been done by astral projection.
Mary says that “they” have often guided her and her husband to various places. Once they saw seven craft, including a mother ship. Two other witnesses confirmed their sightings, and the experience was reported to a local UFO investigating group.
Mary describes the entities with which she has contact as “extremely good-looking humans.” They have a light around them and they glow, butthey appear to be solid. Although she has been in contact with them for years, their age always appears to be roughly twenty-six to thirty years old. The hair of both male and female is cut in a page-boy style. The man has black hair and the woman's is a golden blond. The woman wears a long white gown with a round neck. The man wears a white pantsuit garment. Both of them are very kind.
“They are not permitted to tell me everything, but they give hints so I can get the answers to my questions. They help me with my life. I don't receive contact with them very often, but they are watching me. They give me advice, which I try always to follow.”
Consider this account of the kind of UFO-OBE that results in a recognition between strangers:
When Kevin answered the door to his apartment, he saw a close friend and a complete stranger standing there. The newcomer had a look of shock on his face. For most of the evening he kept staring at Kevin.
Finally, he told Kevin that he had had a weird dream about someone he'd never met before, and he had recognized Kevin as the man in the dream.
He said that in his dream he had been in a clearing with a lot of other people. They seemed to be waiting for someone or something. He did not know anyone there except Kevin. He said that Kevin smiled at him and made him feel calm and peaceful.
The sky was clear and star-studded except for a large circular patch directly overhead. Then he noticed that there was a large oval object blotting out the sky. As he realized this, an opening appeared in the center of the object, and a blue-white light spilled out.
He felt strange and he looked around to see how the others wereHe blacked out and came to in a dome-shaped room. The other people appeared to be awakening at the same time. Everyone had been placed in one of the chairs that lined the walls in three tiers. Across from them were electronic panels with flashing lights, dials, switches. In the center of the cabinets were two seats in front of what appeared to be control panels. Behind this area was a brilliant light. In the exact center of the room was a column, or pole, running through the floor and ceiling. A low railing, about three feet high, encircled the column.
He looked at the other men and women, and they appeared to be as confused as he was. He felt as though someone were missing. Then everyone turned and looked toward the center of the room. There stood a man in a close-fitting, one-piece silvery spacesuit that covered his hands and feet. He wore a globe over his head that obscured his features. “Welcome aboard, friends,” he said, as he reached up and removed the globe. And the stranger said that it was Kevin who welcomed the Earthlings aboard the spaceship.
Kevin said that he has now experienced this sort of thing again and again over a period of a year and a half. A shocked stranger whom he has just met stares at him in surprise and wonder, then relates the same dream, down to the most minute details.
After the fifth or sixth time, Kevin said that he began thinking, “Oh, no, not again! I can't say how many times this has happened. I have lost track.”
Kevin has come to believe that “…a lot of us have been controlled telepathically, somehow or other, by UFO intelligences. That's just a feelingI have. I have no proof.”
And that is the problem with so much of the entire whole UFO phenomenon. What concrete evidence is there for such contact experiences as the above? So many of the weird things that have occurred around UFOs seem to be leading us increasingly into the area of parapsychology.
In our book Real Encounters, Different Dimensions, and Otherworldy Beings we suggest that the many guises of alien beings –which we term the Other– exist only a frequency away in the background of the unconscious, waiting for some triggering mechanism to bring it into focus. The so-called “collective unconscious” of modern psychology is nothing less than a subliminal doorway to that immaterial domain which the physicists are so busily mapping on a different level. Once that “doorway” has been opened, an as yet unknown psychic mechanism activates the unconscious mind, the “higher self,” and summons the Other. Once activated, the Other is able to absorb, reflect, and imitate human intelligence, thereby creating a host of entities that are fashioned by the dramatic by-products of our collective unconscious. Once the Other draws upon a human’s belief construct, it may produce an independent image that can sustain itself on the vagaries of centuries of legend and myth. If there is truly but one Life Force and a common, collective unconscious for Homo sapiens, then, in the larger sense anycontact with the Other becomes part of the common experience of all humankind,whether the incident is reported in the popular press or pondered quietly in the mind of the individual observer.
As an abductee for my whole life, I have stumbled through unknowing, to suspicion, and then resistance, and counsel to offer rare insights and advice to detect and thwart alien soul and body tampering.
Published widely and recognized as an eloquent note in the chorus of barbaric yawps concerning experts who've never seen or confronted these myriad entities, personally for 45 years, I write, do radio interviews and assist filmakers with background research.
At night, your astral body travels to realms from angelic to demonic, spirit worlds of myriad vibrational levels and the pictures that you see on the backs of your eyelids, while you R.E.M., are not dreams but visits, souvenirs of a greater reality.
Like goldfish who never suspect a greater world beyond the pond's surface, the limited awareness of humankind floats beneath the surface of a greater reality, groping, mouths agape in fish ignorance.
Aliens hybridize, and invade astrally to abduct, monitor, and possess, to entangle their energies with ours to ride the reincarnation roller coaster of our auras giving a new meaning to a silent invasion.
Earth is under invasion, one person at a time.
These are my experiences, echoed in a link, at the end of the page of this journal entry.
I felt electric vibrations throughout my whole body while in bed and saw my body then separate and float out of my body, in astral abductions of my spiritual essence, which retained all of my predilections and discriminations, all the while leaving my chop-meat-DNA- contrived- body, bereft of spirit, behind, in bed.
At first glance, I believed that I had died!
Out of body, I had conveyor belt travels, vivid OBE sublime and terrifying experiences, at the hands of aliens, directly tied to my previously monitored thoughts, more proof of
that alien-proprietary- monitored-consciousness, suffered by abductees.
I am a fifty year old happily married father of two extraordinary teens.
I am one who writes, landscapes, crafts his own ales, hunts mushrooms, breeds native giant silk moths, plays bass and drums and teaches.
My wife and I have been friends and lovers for over twenty years, and she supports my hobbies and writing with a skeptical and cautious approach which has helped to keep me centered.
I have seen different subspecies of alien entities since I was a young child living on Shore Road in Brooklyn until my later years as a resident of Long Island, and I am convinced that many others have also struggled to assess and grasp similar indigestible alien experiences which challenge everything we've ever been taught.
Abductions and their remnant elusive memories have opened all this for me, a confirmed atheist, UNTIL I saw aliens float me out of my body, in my bed, at night.
Then, I knew that they were more interested in an essence, that I never suspected I had: a soul.
Russia and China have handed the UN a proposal for banning weapons in Outer Space. The US and Israel have voted against such a treaty proposed by the UN which would outlaw space weapons. The treaty proposed by China is called the PPT and they submitted this treaty to the UN in 2008 with Russia’s support.
China’s worries are about disruption and destruction of their satellites and Russia agrees. The US remains quiet on issue. China has been exploring the moon with their rover though it’s experienced difficulties. Russia lost a military satellite recently. The question needs to be asked why doesn’t US jump at the chance to sign a PPT.
Has the US weaponized space already? I’ve talked to a NASA insider who told me Forbidden Zones existed on the Moon. NASA and US have sent strong warnings to all nations to leave Apollo sites alone. I was told that NASA and the US military worked together in projects over decades. Do Russia and China know the US has space weapons? Is this why they want the PPT signed by the UN? I’ve written in past articles about how WWIII will be different and may include weapons from space. China and Russia see it too. Shouldn't the US want this treaty? It makes you wonder if Star Wars really is prophetic and in Earth’s future.
Social science is being militarised to develop ‘operational tools’ to target peaceful activists and protest movements

A US Department of Defense (DoD) research programme is funding universities to model the dynamics, risks and tipping points for large-scale civil unrest across the world, under the supervision of various US military agencies. The multi-million dollar programme is designed to develop immediate and long-term “warfighter-relevant insights” for senior officials and decision makers in “the defense policy community,” and to inform policy implemented by “combatant commands.”
Launched in 2008 – the year of the global banking crisis – the DoD ‘Minerva Research Initiative’ partners with universities “to improve DoD’s basic understanding of the social, cultural, behavioral, and political forces that shape regions of the world of strategic importance to the US.”
Among the projects awarded for the period 2014-2017 is a Cornell University-led study managed by the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research which aims to develop an empirical model “of the dynamics of social movement mobilisation and contagions.” The project will determine “the critical mass (tipping point)” of social contagians by studying their “digital traces” in the cases of “the 2011 Egyptian revolution, the 2011 Russian Duma elections, the 2012 Nigerian fuel subsidy crisis and the 2013 Gazi park protests in Turkey.”
Twitter posts and conversations will be examined “to identify individuals mobilised in a social contagion and when they become mobilised.”
Another project awarded this year to the University of Washington “seeks to uncover the conditions under which political movements aimed at large-scale political and economic change originate,” along with their “characteristics and consequences.” The project, managed by the US Army Research Office, focuses on “large-scale movements involving more than 1,000 participants in enduring activity,” and will cover 58 countries in total.
Last year, the DoD’s Minerva Initiative funded a project to determine ‘Who Does Not Become a Terrorist, and Why?’ which, however, conflates peaceful activists with “supporters of political violence” who are different from terrorists only in that they do not embark on “armed militancy” themselves. The project explicitly sets out to study non-violent activists:
“In every context we find many individuals who share the demographic, family, cultural, and/or socioeconomic background of those who decided to engage in terrorism, and yet refrained themselves from taking up armed militancy, even though they were sympathetic to the end goals of armed groups. The field of terrorism studies has not, until recently, attempted to look at this control group. This project is not about terrorists, but about supporters of political violence.”
The project’s 14 case studies each “involve extensive interviews with ten or more activists and militants in parties and NGOs who, though sympathetic to radical causes, have chosen a path of non-violence.”
I contacted the project’s principal investigator, Prof Maria Rasmussen of the US Naval Postgraduate School, asking why non-violent activists working for NGOs should be equated to supporters of political violence – and which “parties and NGOs” were being investigated – but received no response.
Similarly, Minerva programme staff refused to answer a series of similar questions I put to them, including asking how “radical causes” promoted by peaceful NGOs constituted a potential national security threat of interest to the DoD.
Among my questions, I asked:
“Does the US Department of Defense see protest movements and social activism in different parts of the world as a threat to US national security? If so, why? Does the US Department of Defense consider political movements aiming for large scale political and economic change as a national security matter? If so, why? Activism, protest, ‘political movements’ and of course NGOs are a vital element of a healthy civil society and democracy – why is it that the DoD is funding research to investigate such issues?”
Minerva’s programme director Dr Erin Fitzgerald said “I appreciate your concerns and am glad that you reached out to give us the opportunity to clarify” before promising a more detailed response. Instead, I received the following bland statement from the DoD’s press office
“The Department of Defense takes seriously its role in the security of the United States, its citizens, and US allies and partners. While every security challenge does not cause conflict, and every conflict does not involve the US military, Minerva helps fund basic social science research that helps increase the Department of Defense’s understanding of what causes instability and insecurity around the world. By better understanding these conflicts and their causes beforehand, the Department of Defense can better prepare for the dynamic future security environment.”
In 2013, Minerva funded a University of Maryland project in collaboration with the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to gauge the risk of civil unrest due to climate change. The three-year $1.9 million project is developing models to anticipate what could happen to societies under a range of potential climate change scenarios.
From the outset, the Minerva programme was slated to provide over $75 million over five years for social and behavioural science research. This year alone it has been allocated a total budget of $17.8 million by US Congress.
The internal email from Prof Steve Corman, a principal investigator for the project, describes a meeting hosted by the DoD’s Human Social Cultural and Behavioural Modeling (HSCB) programme in which senior Pentagon officials said their priority was “to develop capabilities that are deliverable quickly” in the form of “models and tools that can be integrated with operations.”
Although Office of Naval Research supervisor Dr Harold Hawkins had assured the university researchers at the outset that the project was merely “a basic research effort, so we shouldn’t be concerned about doing applied stuff”, the meeting in fact showed that DoD is looking to “feed results” into “applications,” Corman said in the email. He advised his researchers to “think about shaping results, reports, etc., so they [DoD] can clearly see their application for tools that can be taken to the field.”
Many independent scholars are critical of what they see as the US government’s efforts to militarise social science in the service of war. In May 2008, the American Anthropological Association (AAA) wrote to the US government noting that the Pentagon lacks “the kind of infrastructure for evaluating anthropological [and other social science] research” in a way that involves “rigorous, balanced and objective peer review”, calling for such research to be managed instead by civilian agencies like the National Science Foundation (NSF).
The following month, the DoD signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the NSF to cooperate on the management of Minerva. In response, the AAA cautioned that although research proposals would now be evaluated by NSF’s merit-review panels. “Pentagon officials will have decision-making power in deciding who sits on the panels”
“… there remain concerns within the discipline that research will only be funded when it supports the Pentagon’s agenda. Other critics of the programme, including the Network of Concerned Anthropologists, have raised concerns that the programme would discourage research in other important areas and undermine the role of the university as a place for independent discussion and critique of the military.”
According to Prof David Price, a cultural anthropologist at St Martin’s University in Washington DC and author of Weaponizing Anthropology: Social Science in Service of the Militarized State, “when you looked at the individual bits of many of these projects they sort of looked like normal social science, textual analysis, historical research, and so on, but when you added these bits up they all shared themes of legibility with all the distortions of over-simplification. Minerva is farming out the piece-work of empire in ways that can allow individuals to disassociate their individual contributions from the larger project.”
Prof Price has previously exposed how the Pentagon’s Human Terrain Systems (HTS) programme – designed to embed social scientists in military field operations – routinely conducted training scenarios set in regions “within the United States.”
Citing a summary critique of the programme sent to HTS directors by a former employee, Price reported that the HTS training scenarios “adapted COIN [counterinsurgency] for Afghanistan/Iraq” to domestic situations “in the USA where the local population was seen from the military perspective as threatening the established balance of power and influence, and challenging law and order.”
One war-game, said Price, involved environmental activists protesting pollution from a coal-fired plant near Missouri, some of whom were members of the well-known environmental NGO Sierra Club. Participants were tasked to “identify those who were ‘problem-solvers’ and those who were ‘problem-causers,’ and the rest of the population whom would be the target of the information operations to move their Center of Gravity toward that set of viewpoints and values which was the ‘desired end-state’ of the military’s strategy.”
James Petras, Bartle Professor of Sociology at Binghamton University in New York, concurs with Price’s concerns. Minerva-funded social scientists tied to Pentagon counterinsurgency operations are involved in the “study of emotions in stoking or quelling ideologically driven movements,” he said, including how “to counteract grassroots movements.”
Minerva is a prime example of the deeply narrow-minded and self-defeating nature of military ideology. Worse still, the unwillingness of DoD officials to answer the most basic questions is symptomatic of a simple fact – in their unswerving mission to defend an increasingly unpopular global system serving the interests of a tiny minority, security agencies have no qualms about painting the rest of us as potential terrorists.
For those who want to know the truth about a wide variety of censored topics including the true history of humanity, the colonization of Mars and the 4000+ underground bases across our country, the great grand daughter of former US President Dwight Eisenhower, Laura Magdalene Eisenhower, joins Peter Kling and Michael Vara at the 51 minute mark of the video below.
This is a fascinating new interview with Laura that breaks down the true history of our planet Earth from the unique point of view of a presidential relative who is not afraid to speak out and let her own voice be heard when talking about ‘grey ET’s’ and other controversial topics.
The monsters are multiplying. Just months after astronomers announced hints of a giant “Planet X” lurking beyond Pluto, a team in Spain says there may actually be two supersized planets hiding in the outer reaches of our solar system.
When potential dwarf planet 2012 VP113 was discovered in March, it joined a handful of unusual rocky objects known to reside beyond the orbit of Pluto. These small objects have curiously aligned orbits, which hints that an unseen planet even further out is influencing their behaviour. Scientists calculated that this world would be about 10 times the mass of Earth and would orbit at roughly 250 times Earth’s distance from the sun.
Now Carlos and Raul de la Fuente Marcos at the Complutense University of Madrid in Spain have taken another look at these distant bodies. As well as confirming their bizarre orbital alignment, the pair found additional puzzling patterns. Small groups of the objects have very similar orbital paths. Because they are not massive enough to be tugging on each other, the researchers think the objects are being “shepherded” by a larger object in a pattern known as orbital resonance.
Planet shepherd
For instance, we know that Neptune and Pluto are in orbital resonance – for every two orbits Pluto makes around the sun, Neptune makes three. Similarly, one group of small objects seems to be in lockstep with a much more distant, unseen planet. That world would have a mass between that of Mars and Saturn and would sit about 200 times Earth’s distance from the sun.
Some of the smaller objects have very elongated orbits that would take them out to this distance. It is unusual for a large planet to orbit so close to other bodies unless it is dynamically tied to something else, so the researchers suggest that the large planet is itself in resonance with a more massive world at about 250 times the Earth-sun distance – just like the one predicted in the previous work.
Observing these putative planets will be tricky. The smaller bodies are on very elliptical orbits and were only spotted when they ventured closest to the sun. But the big planets would have roughly circular orbits and would be slow moving and dim, making them tough for current telescopes to see. “It’s not at all surprising that they haven’t been found yet,” says Carlos.
“As there are only a few of these extremely distant objects known, it’s hard to say anything definitive about the number or location of any distant planets,” says Scott Sheppard at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington DC, one of the discoverers of 2012 VP113. “However, in the near future we should have more objects to work with to help us determine the structure of the outer solar system.”
A total of 13 aircraft suddenly vanished off radars for about 25 minutes on two occasions over Austria and neighboring countries, Austria’s flight safety monitor said, calling for an EU probe into the “unprecedented” incidents.
The flights vanished from air traffic controllers’ screens in Austria on June 5 and June 10 for 25 minutes each time, Marcus Pohanka of Austro Control – Austria’s flight safety organization – said Thursday.
Air traffic control in neighboring regions of Germany and the Czech Republic also reported similar problems.
Pohanka said the location, height, and identity of the 13 aircraft vanished over Austria both times, in what he called “unprecedented” incidents, AP reported.
He added that some neighboring countries had experienced similar problems. The daily Kurier, based in Vienna, elaborated that similar problems were experienced by flight controllers in Munich and Karlsruhe in Germany and in Prague, Czech Republic.
Poahanka declined to say which airlines and planes were involved, but suggested that some may have been passenger jets, which fly at high altitudes. The EU’s Eurocontrol and European Aviation Safety Agency will investigate the incidents.
Poahanka stressed that at no time were any of the planes in danger, as extra air traffic controllers were immediately called to their posts and emergency measures were brought in, which included immediately establishing voice contact with the pilots and the widening of flight corridors.
The Kurier cited an unnamed expert as saying that the problem was most likely to do with interference between the aircraft transponders and the ground.
