Daylight Large ‘Red Ball’ Anomaly

(Before It's News)

I received the following reader submission today:

I am a subscriber to the Phantoms and Monsters blog and a loyal listener to BTE Radio. As such, a recent experience prompted me to write.

I am a 48 year old male who has experienced a few singular and apparently unrelated “paranormal” events over the course of my life. Two of them have involved seeing people whom I knew to be deceased. One was at a moment of high trauma in the life of my family and involved a relative… nothing new there. The other was passing someone at work in a hallway (I work at a large company) only to recall later that the person had been dead for two years. My wife has told me she believes I’ve undeveloped abilities but usually it’s the furthest thing from my mind. I certainly make no claim to any special abilities.

I tell you all of this to set the stage for something that I experienced just this past Saturday afternoon. It was the darndest thing.

I was driving on a two lane road near my home in northwest North Carolina (I live about 20 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway). It is a drive I make every day. The weather was pleasant… warm but not the humid, high heat we often experience in the summer. 

To my left, about 100 feet ahead and partially obscured by trees, I saw a large red ball rise very quickly from the ground up to near the middle branches of a large tree… I think it is an oak. Ground foliage prevented me from seeing where the ball came from. My first thought was that some kid was kicking a beach ball and that they had quite a leg, because the ball was moving pretty fast. I also thought the ball must have caught in the branches because it did not come down.

As I drew closer I slowed to see if my deductions were correct. Of course, there was no one there and there was no ball that I could see in the trees. The ground slopes down from roadside. (Exact location has been redacted since it is private property….Lon)

To the immediate right, across from the tree, is … of course… the entrance to a cemetery.

As I said, I’ve experienced a few pretty blatant visions but this was something new. I thought it might have been ball lightning but there was nothing “electrical” looking to what I saw. I looked like a large, beach ball sized red ball… almost like a kick ball we used to play with at school…but larger. It moved at an arc as if it were launched from the ground… and then it was gone. I can’t rule out fireworks or perhaps a balloon that popped, but there was no one around and from the time I saw it to the time I passed the site there was no time for anyone to depart my field of vision. If it was a balloon, it was larger than even the “punch bag” type and I would not expect that type to be very fragile. Also… there was no discernible wind.

I tried to research if this was a phenomena that others had experienced, but nothing seemed to match.  Thus I thought that with your vast resources, you might be a good resource to ask about this. Again, it may be explainable but at the time I was impressed that I had just witnessed something very strange.

Thanks for taking the time to read my account. DR

NOTE: OK folks…I’m also interested in reading your thoughts on this phenomenon. I looked at the area on Google Map…there is nothing to suggest that this was a natural or man-made event. Any ideas? Lon

Daily 2 Cents: Alien Girl And The Secret Apollo 20 Mission — The World’s Oldest Photograph — Penn State Spooks

(Before It's News)

Alien Girl and the Secret Apollo 20 Mission

If you were to believe Nasa’s records, then that would be that, but in April 2007, an individual with the username “Retiredafb” uploaded several videos to YouTube claiming that they were footage from Apollo 20, a secret joint American-Soviet space mission from August 1976.

The user identified himself as William Rutledge, 78, a former astronaut now living in Rwanda.

His videos show what seems to be the cabin of Apollo 20, as well as footage, supposedly on the moon, of a mysterious lunar city, as well as the corpse of what seems to be an alien girl that internet users call “Mona Lisa”, lying in the cabin.

Rutledge’s videos were so popular that they garnered over 1.5 million views on YouTube, but apparently a few months later Rutledge claimed his YouTube account had been hacked and all but one of his videos were deleted (although you can watch the other two videos about the lunar city and the alien autopsy here and here).

He then moved his videos to a new account on Revver.com, but that page no longer exists.

Before he disappeared, however, he did agree to be interviewed, through the message function of his YouTube account and Yahoo Messenger, by Italian freelance writer and UFO/space exploration enthusiast Luca Scantamburlo.

William Rutledge’s account

Rutledge claims in his interview with Scantamburlo that Nasa’s Apollo 14 mission flew over a polar region of the Moon and captured numerous space ships and cities of ancient, oddly-shaped, towering buildings, which looked like they had been abandoned for hundreds of years.

Rutledge says that Apollo 20 landed near the Delporte Crater in order to explore a large “cigar-shaped” mother ship, which had apparently been abandoned for 1.5 million years, and within the spaceship, the astronauts found two corpses of alien beings, one of which was captured on 16mm film.

He claims that the female alien he and his crew found had six fingers, hair, but no nostrils, and seemed to be in a state that was “not dead” but also “not alive”. He claims to Scantamburlo that the alien girl was brought back to Earth and is still alive somewhere.

“USAF recalled that, I have been chosen later for Apollo 20 because I was one of the rare pilot who didn’t believe in God (it has changed since 1990) but it was a criterion in 1976. It was not the status of the Nasa astronauts. Not believing in God made the difference. That’s all,” Rutledge told Scantamburlo.

Rutledge’s answers are quite rambling, and on many occasions, Scantamburlo tests his knowledge about Nasa in the 1970s and what happened to the other cancelled Apollo missions. Read more at IBTimes

Report points to photo as possible new clue to Amelia Earhart’s fate

A newspaper photograph of Earhart’s plane taken in 1937 could hold the key to her disappearance.

One of the most enduring mysteries of the modern era, the disappearance of famed aviator Amelia Earhart during an attempt to circumnavigate the world in 1937 has been the subject of investigations and debate for almost 80 years.

Now a potentially vital new clue has emerged in the form of a photograph of Earhart’s plane that was captured by the Miami Herald just before she took off.

The image shows a piece of aluminum bolted to the plane, presumably to cover one of the windows, that was not present in any previous pictures. The metal plate seems to match an identical piece that was discovered in 1991 on a remote Pacific Island during a search for the crash site.

The find suggests that Earhart didn’t go down over the ocean as some have believed but instead may have crash landed on a remote island where she and her navigator Fred Noonan may have survived for several days while waiting for help that never came.

Efforts are now underway to try and match the rivet pattern on the aluminum plate from the island with the one in the picture – if the two match then the mystery may have finally been solved. Read more at FoxNews

The World’s Oldest Photograph

The picture below is reputed to be the world’s first photograph. It was taken in 1826 and was developed by French photographer Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. He called this process “heliography” or sun drawing and the entire process took eight hours.

Penn State Spooks

The Penn State has many spirits roaming the campus.

Atherton Hall: Named in honor of Frances Atherton, the hall opened in the 1930s as a girl’s dorm and now houses scholars and international students. It has a pair of reported spooks roaming its’ halls. One of them is “Gumshoes”, a former house mother. Students can still hear the distinctive creaking of her shoes as she paces the halls, keeping an eagle eye on her girls. The other is Frances herself, whose spirit has been spotted floating along the halls late at night. She must make a quick run to the hall whenever she takes a break from haunting Old Botany. A reader added another little bit of lore: “I lived in Atherton Hall in 2005…and I used to get a creepy feeling in my room all the time. I heard a rumor about someone dying in the elevator shaft, directly next to my room. Anyways, there is definitely something weird going on there.”

Beam Hall: Built in 1975, the old dorm was converted into business offices, and then converted back to dorms again. Campus legend has it that the dorm was originally shut down because of poltergeist activity coming from a second floor loo. A man supposedly hung himself in there from an overhead pipe and his spook has been raising havoc since. Once it become offices, the ghostie reportedly behaved himself. But the pipe is still there, and it’s a dorm again…

Brumbaugh Hall: This is a collegiate urban legend brought about by psychic Jeanne Dixon. She once predicted that there would be a mass murder in the tallest female dorm of an eastern university (she later denied she meant PSU) and since then upperclassmen have delighted in spooking the frosh by telling them of a rumored midnight visit on Halloween by an ax murderer in Brumbaugh. Urban legend or not, it’s said many freshmen decide to spend Halloween night anywhere but at Brumbaugh.

Ghost Walk: This tree lined path once led to the doors of the Old Botany Building. It’s said that a student was caught on the walk in a sudden blizzard and froze to death in the 1860s, and his spirit since has been reportedly seen there by other warm blooded students. The Ghost Walk is now gone. It’s site was used to build the Burrowes Building. His spook hasn’t been seen since, now that it’s presumably warm and toasty inside the new building.

Ihlseng Cottage: The cottage, built in 1898, was a residence, a hospital, and now hosts offices of the Institute for Arts and Humanities. One of our readers relates this tale: “I used to work there… on the third floor, and one night I was there after hours to meet a deadline and heard what I thought was my neighbor across the hall working. It was a male voice, clear as day. When I was leaving I checked, no one else was in the building, and my neighbor was actually traveling that week.” So maybe we have one more hard-working spirit on campus.

Keller Building: There were reports of activity here in the 1990s, when a student left his room screaming because of a presence in his bed. When he returned with the RA, the door had locked, and the sounds of a poltergeist ransacking the room could be heard through the door. This may be related to a student that committed suicide there.

Old Botany Building: The spook of Frances Atherton, wife of old president George Atherton, is said to keep an eye on him from the attic of Old Botany, built in 1909. She’s supposedly been sighted looking out the attic’s front window towards Schwab Auditorium where George’s grave is located. She’s also been reported to be seen swaying in her rocker, tending to her knitting. The lights have been seen spotted going on and off in the locked room, footsteps have been heard, and electrical devices malfunction. Once the staff posed for a picture in front of Old Botany. When it was developed, a stranger was seen looking out the upstairs window of the supposedly empty building.

Old Coaly: Old Coaly was one of the pack mules used when Penn State was being built in the 1850s. When he died he was the last of the original mule team, and his skeleton was put on exhibit at Old Main. A fire there caused the university to store him in the cellar of Watts Hall, a dorm. He was later put back on display at the Agricultural Building in the 1960s, and Old Coaly apparently didn’t like being moved again. It’s said that you could hear his braying coming from the basement, and he was even was spotted standing outside the storage area and on the first floor. Current Watt’s RAs and residents haven’t heard Old Coaly lately. Now that’s he’s been in one place for awhile and had a campus eatery named after him, he may be satisfied with his lot. But we all know how stubborn a mule can get…

Patee Library: The basement stacks at Pattee are alleged to be haunted by the ghost of Betsy Aardsma, who was murdered there in 1969. The crime was never solved. People have a sense of presence there, things get moved around, and one student claimed to feel someone grab her neck. Other phenomena have been reported that aren’t thought to be of Betsy’s doings. Screams have been heard from the subbasement and shadowy female forms & glowing red eyes have been seen in the library. The spooks have reportedly either disappeared into a mist or exited by walking through Pattee’s walls.

Pollock Laptop Library: Tales of a spirit roaming the East Side study area and voices heard when the library was empty have been reported from Pollock Library.

Runkle Hall: The Hall, a dorm built in 1957, has almost as many spooks as residents. The third floor is especially active, with lots of poltergeist activity. One girl had her TV constantly switching to an all Spanish channel among other things like locking and unlocking doors, flickering lights, electronics that turn on and off and objects being thrown off of the walls. They broke out the ouija board, and sure enough – the answers were spelled out in Spanish, and the board told them they shared their room with 11 spirits, the first example of Latino ghosts in the state that we’re aware of. The study lounge is called the “ghost room” because of the loud bangs, rearranged furniture, opening, closing, and self-locking doors and other phenomena emanating from it. One student saw an old lady’s spook sitting in her rocker at the end of the hall.

Scwab Auditorium: Former president George Atherton is buried just outside the auditorium, and his spook is supposedly inside. He’s thought to be a friendly ghost, watching over the collegiate actors and occasionally moving the curtains. Reportedly his spirit has both been seen and heard. Charles Schwab, who donated a large chunk of the money used to build the auditorium in 1903 is said to be the ghost that watches performances from the seats. A seat will go down, as if someone’s sitting in it, and later rise when it leaves. The actors are convinced that it’s “Schwaboo the Ghost” watching the show. Other apparitions have been reported from the hall. One of them was wearing a Revolutionary War uniform. Another duo, an adult and child, have been reported floating above the stage.

The Little Electric Humanoid From Albany Ohio

(Before It's News)

The little electric humanoid from Albany Ohio, classic case study from the October 1973 wave:

For more high strange visit www.churchofmabusradio.com

Location: Albany, Ohio

Date: October 16 1973

Time: 1930

Mary Geddis aged 21, was returning home from an evening class. The first thing she noticed when she pulled into the driveway was a tall “thing” of ghost-like appearance, about 1000 feet away, standing or floating about 50 feet from the ground. It was like “a person with a close-fitting sheet draped over, and was about four feet tall and thin. A head and body shape could be distinguished, but the body was straight, without any limbs. She watched it for a few seconds, and then, on looking out of the open window on the passenger side of the car, towards the road, she saw a bright white light. It appeared to be ‘jotting around…”
“It was like it was looking. It would look here and then it would look over here, over here—like that. But then when it came over here it came straight, like I drew it. When it saw me it kind of wanted to see what I was all about…it was just like it was staring at me, and it kept coming closer and closer, then hovering and coming closer…and I got scared and kind of turned away and tried not to pay any attention to it and it moved back.
“It went away back over the field…it went directly to the side and then directly back. It went behind a telephone pole that blocked off some of its lights and from there it just went back across the field, away from me. Then it faded a little and then it was gone.” At closest approach, the light came within 200 feet of Miss Geddis. The ghost-like object was seen only for a few seconds, but the second object was sighted over a period of three to four minutes. She estimated its diameter as 20 feet, and it was only 25-30 feet from the ground when seen at closest proximity. When she got out of the car, Mary Geddis says she had a weird feeling of a “presence,” as if something were near, invisible. In fact she was scared of walking over to the trailer. She was still standing by the car when Joe Ben-Israel (a friend she was living with in the trailer) returned later. While they were preparing supper, their neighbors, Chuck and Rhonda, came home and said they had seen something strange in the sky. Joe went outside to talk with the neighbors, leaving the trailer door open. Just then, what Mary called a little “aqua-ish” thing looked around the corner of the door.
“It was like the electric man they have on the Co-ops signs. It just looked at me. It didn’t try to say anything to me. It just stared for a few seconds; probably ten seconds…It sort of had a face. It had what looked like spiky things at the top and sides of the head.” The creature was about two and a half feet tall, with stumpy arms, but no legs were distinguished…”You couldn’t see through it, but I felt I could almost see through it if I looked at it more.” Mary later described him as an “energy form”.
“He had eyes and mouth. I’m not sure about the nose, but I think he had a nose, because he didn’t look strange to me in his face—except for the spikes and the color.” “This looks like a monster, the way I’ve drawn it. But it didn’t look like a monster; it looked like a friendly little thing. Only it had these spikes all over it. It didn’t try to hurt me or anything it was just looking, like it was peeking around the corner at first, and then it was just kind of standing there looking at me. It didn’t move clear in front of the door. It must have had a hand at or behind the door…I got the distinct impression that he wasn’t sure about whether he should be there or not. He was kind of timid…Its eyes didn’t blink. Nothing moved. It just kind of disappeared back behind the door. I went after it and looked behind the door and didn’t see anything anymore. It was gone.” Mary Geddis was asked if she had received any psychic impressions, and what she thought when she saw the creature. What did she think it was?
“I don’t know, I was just shocked that it was there. It just looked at me and I didn’t think about it very much until afterwards. Then I went outside and said, “Ohh! Something looked at me!’” But I didn’t feel anything while it was looking at me. It just looked at me like it was seeing what I was. And I was just looking at it the same way, seeing what it was.” Afterwards she thought about the white “creature” and the UFO she had seen. She thought also about the other UFOs that were seen that night—things hovering, but never coming close, although in the distance they could be seen coming down to earth. The sky was clear during the evening that Mary Geddis had her strange experiences. Joe Ben-Israel related what he saw that night.
“We saw in a couple of places in the sky objects that didn’t seem to make any noise. They were close enough so that it they were planes, you could hear them. They seemed to be going at a faster rate than planes usually travel.”

5 Amazing Scientific Discoveries We Don’t Know What to Do With

(Before It's News)

Every day, scientists make discoveries that change the way we live. But sometimes, just sometimes, they achieve results that are so extraordinary or unexpected that they literally don’t know what to do with them. Here are five of the most puzzling.

Mind-bending material properties

 In January, a team of physicists from Rutgers and MIT published a paper in Nature describing a new property of matter. While fiddling around with a super-cooled Uranium compound, URu₂Si₂, they found that it breaks something called double time-reversal symmetry. Normal time-reversal symmetry states that the motion of particles looks the same running back and forth in time: magnets break that, though, because if you reverse time, the magnetic field they produce reverses direction. You have to reverse time twice to get them back to their original state.

This new material, though, breaks double time-reversal symmetry. That means you need to reverse time four times for the behaviour to get back to its original state. It’s something the scientists have dubbed hastatic order — and if you’re struggling to get your head round it, well, that’s the appropriate reaction. The scientists who discovered the phenomenon can’t explain a good physical example of what it is, how it works, or what it means. One to keep on the back burner, then.

The universe weighs less than we thought

 When the world’s best scientists decided to team up and measure the mass of the universe all the way back in the 1970s, they set themselves a pretty tall challenge. Applying their best understanding of gravity and the dynamics of galaxies, though, they came up with an answer — an answer which sadly predicts our universe should be falling apart. We know that the Universe’s galaxies’ matter orbits a single central point — we’ve observed it! — and that must mean their own motion generates enough centripetal force to make that happen.

But calculations suggest that there’s not actually enough mass in the galaxies to produce the forces required to keep themselves moving in the way we’ve observed. So physicists scratched their heads, worried a little, then proudly stated that there must be more stuff out there than we can see. That’s the theory behind what everyone now refers to as Dark Matter. The only problem? In the past 40 years, nobody has confirmed whether it really exists or not—so, effectively, the problem thrown up by those initial calculations remains.

The placebo effect

 Feed a sick man a dummy pill that he thinks will cure him and, often, his health will improve in a similar way to someone taking real drugs. In other words, a bunch of nothing can improve your health. In theory, it could be a powerful treatment technique.

But experiments have shown that the kind of nothing you deliver matters: when placebos are laced with a drug that blocks the effects of morphine, for instance, the effect vanishes. While that proves that the placebo effect is somehow biochemical—and not just a psychological effect—we know practically nothing else about the power of placebo.

It’s real, sure. It can help people get better, agreed. But if we’re ever to make anything of the much-studied but little-understood effect, we’re going to have to unpick how the mind can affect the body’s biochemistry—and, right now, nobody knows.

Temperatures below absolute zero

 It used to be that scientists all agreed that it was impossible to achieve temperatures below absolute zero. It was literally the coldest anything could ever get. Late last year, though, a team of scientists from the Max-Planck-Institute in Germany blew that out of the water: finally, they’d cooled a cloud of gas atoms to below −273.15°C. In fact, the result was as much a quirk of the definition of temperature as anything else, and the way it relies on both energy and entropy (the measure of disorder of particles). New Scientist explains:

In principle [it's] possible to keep heating the particles up, while driving their entropy down. Because this breaks the energy-entropy correlation, it marks the start of the negative temperature scale, where the distribution of energies is reversed – instead of most particles having a low energy and a few having a high, most have a high energy and just a few have a low energy.

It’s this curious logic that allowed the Max-Planck-Institute researchers to cool a variety of atoms in a vacuum, for the first time ever, to below absolute zero. So far, though, they haven’t managed to work out what to do with the chilled particles.

Cold fusion

 Back in 1989, a pair of scientists—Fleischmann and Pons—claimed that they’d achieved a remarkable feat: they’d successfully observed nuclear fusion at room temperatures. Momentarily, the finding was heralded as a revolutionary discovery that could transform energy production around the globe. Sadly, their experiments weren’t reproducible—but they did inspire scientists to study cold fusion in more depth.

Turns out, the process is in fact theoretically possible. For two atoms two fuse together, they need to come close enough to each other to overcome their mutual electric repulsion, which is caused by the cloud of electrons that orbit them. Usually that’s made possible by super-high temperatures—like at the center of the sun—but quantum physics suggests that, because the position of the electric field causing the repulsion is probabilistic, there is at least the possibility that atoms can fuse without the need for energy injection via high temperatures.

And it’s that hope that means a small band of scientists still work in the shadows, trying to get cold fusion to work. Of course, while occasional results come and go, they tend to be rather dubious. Fundamentally that’s because, even though quantum theory tells us it should be possible, nobody knows how to use that understanding to actually get a fusion reaction going.

Illegal Alien Disease Epidemic – Doctors And Nurses Gagged, Threatened With Arrest if They Talk

by Rick Wells

The message to doctors and nurses was simple; you talk, you go to jail. That message was delivered by officers of the government security contractors hired to police the Lackland Air Base illegal alien induction facility.

Some have spoken up anyway, because the risks are so great. They say the American taxpayers and citizens have a right to know what disease epidemic risk is being brought into our nation. They were interviewed confidentially by Todd Starnes of Fox News.

The secret nature of the process is itself of concern to the whistleblowers. One psychiatric counselor said, “There were several of us who wanted to talk about the camps, but the agents made it clear we would be arrested. We were under orders not to say anything.”

The security guarding the workers is provided by “Baptist Family & Children’s Services,” a contractor hired by HHS. They are referred to by themselves and others within the facility ominously as the “Brown Shirts.”

The counselor said “It was a very submissive atmosphere, once you stepped onto the grounds, you abided by their laws – the Brown Shirt laws.”

Upon entry to the facility all cell phones and other communication devices are confiscated and anyone caught with a phone is immediately terminated. She said, “Everyone was paranoid, the children had more rights than the workers.”

The infectious diseases that are still being brought in include measles, scabies, chicken pox and strep throat. Mental health and emotional conditions are also being diagnosed, and may or may not be treated.

The counselor described watching lice crawling down the hair of children she was attending to.

A former nurse calls it a “lice epidemic.” She said, “You could see the bugs crawling through their hair,” and added, “After we would rinse out their hair, the sink would be loaded with black bugs.”

That former nurse said, “We have so many kids coming in that there was no way to control all of the sickness – all this stuff coming into the country. We were very concerned at one point about strep going around the base.”

The counselor and the nurse both said the official position is to conceal the extent of the illnesses from the public.

The nurse describes how, “When they found out the kids had scabies, the charge nurse was adamant – ‘Don’t mention that. Don’t say scabies.’ But everybody knew they had scabies. Some of the workers were very concerned about touching things and picking things up. They asked if they should be concerned, but they were told ‘don’t worry about it.’”

Another problematic condition which concerned the nurse was the fact that the children were transported to Lackland on domestic charter buses and airplanes. Whatever conditions they have may have been left on the seats and other surfaces and could infect others.

The counselor noticed children who she recognized as being suicidal and recommended that they be sent to a psychiatric unit. Rather than treat one boy she pointed out, he was placed with a family in America.

It was at that point that she filed a Child Protective Services report and quit her job, concerned that her license was at risk if the child later committed suicide.

The counselor says she kept a detailed journal about what is going on inside the Lackland facility and remarked, “When people read that journal they are going to be astonished. I don’t think they will believe what is going on in America.”

She reports that she was later contacted by federal agents who demanded that she return to Lackland and surrender her journal to them. She refused to do so and has not returned to Lackland.

It is Cloward-Piven in action. The nurse expressed her belief that, “They’re going to crush the system. We can’t sustain this. They are overwhelming the system and I think it’s a travesty.”

Airbus wil de cockpit uit de cockpit halen - HLN.be

© afp.

Wanneer u op een vliegtuig stapt, vertrouwt u erop dat de piloot en copiloot vooraan in de cockpit alles nauwlettend in de gaten houden. Maar vliegtuigbouwer Airbus heeft een revolutionair idee: waarom de piloten niet naar de achterzijde van het vliegtuig verplaatsen, of zelfs naar de bagageruimte?

Airbus heeft een Amerikaans patent in de wacht gesleept dat de besturingswijze van vliegtuigen in de toekomst drastisch kan veranderen. De blog Flight Club vergelijkt het concept met het besturen van een drone, al zullen de piloten wel nog in het vliegtuig aanwezig zijn. Niet vooraan, zoals traditioneel het geval is, maar elders in het vliegtuig. Daar krijgen ze een digitaal scherm met live-camerabeelden ter beschikking om de omgeving rond het vliegtuig in de gaten te houden.

Waarom Airbus dat nodig vindt? Het draait voornamelijk om geld. De vliegtuigbouwer wil de aerodynamica verbeteren, want hoe aerodynamischer een vliegtuig is, hoe minder weerstand er is en hoe minder brandstof verbrand wordt. In een ideaal scenario zou de neus van een vliegtuig lancetvormig zijn maar omdat er een cockpit in zit, is de vorm van de neus complex. De cockpit vereist bovendien een groot glazen oppervlak voor een optimaal zicht. Het glas is op zich al zwaar en vraagt bovendien structurele verstevigingen die de massa van het vliegtuig nog vergroten.

Daarnaast beperkt de traditionele locatie van de cockpit de grootte van de cabine en dus het aantal passagiers.

Geruststellend?
Een mogelijke alternatieve locatie volgens Airbus is onder de vloer van de cabine, waar de bagageruimte zich bevindt. Of achteraan, in de verticale stabilisator.

Of luchtvaartmaatschappijen en passagiers hierop zitten te wachten, is volgens Flight Club nog maar de vraag. "Heel geruststellend klinkt het niet dat de piloten volledig afhankelijk zijn van een camera en beelden op een panoramisch scherm", luidt het. "Wat als een vogel of een hagelsteen de camera beschadigt? Zou u op een vliegtuig stappen, wetende dat de piloten achter u zitten?"

Toch zal het zicht van de piloten volgens het patent niet verslechteren, integendeel. In een traditioneel vliegtuig is het zicht beperkt tot de ruimte die zich voor de neus uitstrekt. Deze uitvinding biedt de piloot de keuze tussen meerdere zichten, waaronder ook dat aan de voorzijde van het vliegtuig.

Was It a Yeti? Bigfoot? Hair DNA Reveals Monsters’ True Identity

(Before It's News)

NA readings from dozens of hair samples linked to sightings of Bigfoot, Yeti and other legendary monsters show that the hairs came instead from run-of-the-mill animals such as bears and cows — but the researcher behind the project says Bigfoot hunters needn’t give up hope just yet.

“I don’t think this finishes the Bigfoot myth at all,” Oxford geneticist Bryan Sykes told NBC News. “What it does do is show that there is a way for Bigfoot enthusiasts to go back out into the forest and get the real thing.”

Sykes’ findings, published in this week’s issue of the Proceedings of the Royal Academy B, follow up on a yearlong effort to bring in and analyze samples collected by monster-hunters and fringe-science researchers known as cryptozoologists.

One of his key findings was revealed last year, when Sykes reported that two hair samples attributed to the mysterious Himalayan monster known as the Yeti (or “Abominable Snowman”) were a genetic match for a 40,000-year-old jawbone from a polar bear that lived in the Norwegian Arctic.

Sykes is writing a book about that case, titled “The Yeti Enigma,” and he’s organizing an expedition to the Himalayas next year to look for a live specimen of the anomalous bear. “That’s the next logical step,” he said. “We need a live ‘Yeti.’”

More than half of the 30 samples that underwent DNA analysis were linked to sightings of Bigfoot (aka Sasquatch) in the United States, ranging from Texas and Minnesota to Arizona and Washington state.

Sykes and his team focused on a snippet of mitochondrial DNA code that’s passed down from a mother to her progeny. That code was matched to species signatures stored in the GenBank database of DNA sequences.

The Bigfoot samples were matched to black bears, cows, a porcupine, horse, raccoon, sheep, deer, canines (which could have been dogs, coyotes or wolves) and one undetermined human. The Russian samples correlated with bears, horses, cows and a raccoon. Two of the Yeti samples matched up with that long-gone polar bear, and a third was linked to a goatlike animal called a serow. The orang pendek sample was traced to a Malaysian tapir.

21st-Century Monster Hunt

Even though the project provided no evidence for the existence of a legendary monster, Sykes said it proved that scientific methods could be brought to bear on the search for anomalous species. There have been previous claims for the detection of Bigfoot-human hybrid DNA, but those findings were thought to have been the result of contamination and have not been widely accepted.

“It just wasn’t science,” Sykes told NBC News. “A lot of Bigfoot enthusiasts thought that this was how science worked, [but] it was dreadful.”

Oxford geneticist Brian Sykes is planning an expedition to the Himalayas to look for what may be a mysterious breed of bear.

Loren Coleman, director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine, said he wasn’t disappointed that Sykes failed to confirm Bigfoot. In an email to NBC News, Coleman said Sykes’ method was “the correct way to do cryptozoology science.”

“Gone are the Victorian days of stomping about jungles and forests to shoot animals to prove they exist,” Coleman said. “We can do verifications through testing for the DNA in hair, fecal and other physical samples found in conjunction with sightings of and encounters with possible new animals. Follow-ups then can be made in the field to obtain photographic evidence and further blood samples from living animals.”

Norman MacLeod, a paleontologist at London’s Natural History Museum, struck a similar tone in a commentary published by the Proceedings of the Royal Society B — and in an email sent to NBC News.

“Science is not biased against the identification of cryptid species,” MacLeod said. “It simply suspends judgment until unambiguous positive evidence is produced.”

For his part, Sykes said he hoped Coleman and other cryptozoologists would be taken more seriously. “They have been, I think, quite badly treated by scientists over the past 50 years,” he said.

Sykes took it as an honor that he was named Cryptozoologist of the Year as well as Bigfooter of the Year for 2013, thanks to his Yeti report. “The next step is the Nobel Prize,” he joked.

In addition to Sykes, the authors of “Genetic Analysis of Hair Samples Attributed to Yeti, Bigfoot and Other Anomalous Primates” include Rhettman Mullis, Christophe Hagenmuller, Terry Melton and Michel Sartori.

“Alien” Anything, Part 2

(Before It's News)

Below is a response from a questioner to my seemingly harsh and critical email requesting him to substantiate his claims that “we’re “dealing with beings that are very different from us, etc.” He was offended by my response to him but to his credit, he wrote back, referred to some of my own remarks he found insulting, and I followed up with this:

…………………………………………………………………………………………..................................

First, thanks for writing back. I want to answer your points and do so directly without any intentional insults. I’m also going to address a few points that I too have to live with if the Billy Meier UFO  case is to be considered credible, let alone the standard by which all other claims of ET contact are to be measured.

Let’s see if we can agree that the actual, proven existence of ETs would be of mega-enormous significance. Topping that by light years of course would be proof that one man on Earth has been in contact with them…for over 72 years.

Now the problem facing the UFO community/industry (UFOCI) is that they casually take for granted that there are all sorts of “aliens” walking around on Earth, working for the government (would they really be that stupid and desperate?), abducting people, co-procreating hybrid-human babies, etc. Really, that’s the standard fare of the UFOCI. And it’s mostly why the entire UFO field is marginalized, relegated to tabloid status, entertainment, etc., and the truth kept from the public.

This is no accident. Neither is the fact that all of this “alien” bilge can get widespread media coverage but you won’t find a word on the Meier case in the mainstream media. That should start to tell you something about both the “alien” nonsense and the…real deal.

I’ll get back to this – and it’s not directed at you – but also consider that sometimes people would rather die than know and have to deal with the truth. The problem is that they may well die because they deny it.

Now when someone blithely tells you that there are all sorts of these “Greys”, etc., on Earth, messing around with people, etc., beyond my already noted irreverent response to the failed logic behind unsubstantiated claims, let’s go a bit farther and ask just how we came to accept a context in which we are already ascribing and describing and attributing behaviors and motivations to creatures for which there simply is no empirical evidence establishing their existence, let alone interactions with us.

This is supremely important. How, how did we get from anecdotal stories by so-called “experiencers” – a cutesy new designation that would be fitting in a sic-fi discussion but not in one for which real, cold, hard evidence is lacking – to accepting their subjective accounts as equal to real scientifically proven facts?

You’ve taken offense not only to my lack of bedside manner but to my essential demands for actual…evidence. So let me explain just a little bit more about that.

In my 35 years of researching the Meier case, and a couple more decades of overall interest that started in my childhood, I still haven’t come upon any so-called UFO case that meets the standards of evidence and proof that one would deem reasonable to support such claims. I’ll quickly add that I have no trouble accepting the reality of Roswell (and some others like it). I first learned about it in about1958 from a high school friend who told me about a “flying saucer” that had crashed and was hauled off to an air base in Ohio. He learned about it from his father who was…in the US Air Force.

But there is zero remaining and/or verifiable evidence for Roswell (or any other cases, real or otherwise) and none can be forced from a government that probably doesn’t have and/or know about it/them anyway.

Roswell, like every other so-called UFO case,  is a complete waste of very, very precious, dwindling time. Please, feel free to challenge that by producing something, anything of actual, relevance to our global situation today.

In representing the Meier case I’ve been “challenged” (and largely attacked) by skeptics but they pale in comparison to the incompetence, vehemence and obstruction of the truth by…UFOCI. The UFOCI is, second only to, or tied with, the intelligence agencies; it’s the worst opponent of the Meier case, the least scientific, least qualified, competent, capable, rational, logical group in just about any field of study that I know of.

The funny thing is that I’ve defeated every skeptical challenge, shut down a challenge from a scientist with a top secret clearance in less than five minutes, did the same thing just last year with a retired judge, simply on the strength of the scientific and legal standard of proof in the case. It doesn’t take a genius. Just someone who’s really done their homework. I’ve offered to debate all of the professional skeptics, at once, at an event of their choosing. No responses now, when once they were so confident.

I don’t have a scientific background. I was basically an artist and singer/songwriter who didn’t get my first “real” job until, at age 32, I had to raise my 10 month-old baby myself as a single father. (Some of my other bio material is here.)

I learned how to research – and think – from delving into the Meier material. I looked into every UFO-related story along the way. There’s simply no there there, anywhere, certainly not even remotely in the same league as the Meier case.

I’ve been to Switzerland 14 times, tried to trick Meier 4 times in 3 years on a strange matter he told me about. But he always immediately gave me the same answer, no hesitation, no tall tales, excuses. Where would I go to “research” anecdotal fables that have been built around “strange experiences”? I’ve been within 20′ of a craft myself and I received information from the Plejaren, through Meier, foretelling a trap I was otherwise going to fall into…verifiably days before the culprit sprang his second best plan because I had retreated based on their information, which Meier himself didn’t know about. I guess I’m not an “experiencer” because I have actual evidence for my claim and I don’t need some bogus “hypnosis” to recall (or have someone with questionable qualifications and motives concoct stories about) it.

Do you know why I do this work on the Meier case (and not on anything else, including my many creative ventures)? It’s because I consider it the most important true story in all of human history and the key to our future survival. My personal mission is to help prove the prophecies (like those here)…wrong.

I have a website jam packed with information, a blog with over 300 entries and a media appearances list a mile long. But the mainstream media access that I’ve tried to get in every way I know how is barred. Why is that? It’s because of several factors pertaining to the reality of the case and all that that implies to the powers that be, the knowledge of who Meier is and the fact that it’s now known that it’s too late to forestall some of the most dreadful stuff that all those suppressive minds have actually helped to create and force to fulfillment.

So, getting back to my earlier comment, there are indeed people for whom the truth is so unmanageable that they would rather die than deal with it…and they have no compunctions about letting the rest of the world go down the drain at the same time.

As for the “Greys”, “aliens”, “experiencers”, etc., if one is sober and self-honest, the magnitude of that entire cynical farce is not only devoid of any credible, verifiable physical evidence but even ONE significant, uniquely valuable piece of information for humanity. It’s not only depressing but raises serious questions as to how one got swept up in that dead-end disinformation at the expense of recognizing truth and reality.

If I notice, while out walking at night, that your house is on fire should I wait until I return home, send you an email, maybe call - but apologize for disturbing you…or should I bang like hell on your door, get you to wake up and let you decide how you’re going to deal with the problem?

I’ve tried, and actually continue to try, every reasonable, rational, polite, humorous approach I know to wake people up…so that they can decide what they want to do once they know their house is on fire. Of course I do pound on their doors too when all else seems to have failed.

Our house, your house is on fire and no amount of pseudoscientific hypnosis with “experiencers” has – or ever will – alert us to it, nor will it contain the remedies that may still remain for us to put the fire out. No imaginary “Greys” started the fire, nor will they be of any help. The so-called “Greys” from Roswell were actually…androids, the robotic surrogates for the actual extraterrestrials in the Zeta Reticulum system who sent them out on scientific information gathering missions. Oh so cleverly, the US intelligence agencies, and others, have demonized real, actual – human – extraterrestrials and substituted all this fearful garbage to control people. And it’s not only been at the expense of the truth but it will cost many lives.

In the past 10,000 years, according to Meier, there’ve been only about 250 years of peace. The imaginary “Greys” weren’t killing off untold millions of human beings. We human beings ourselves were.

So we come around to this dreaded, disinformation perpetuating UFOCI, which, in case you haven’t noticed, hasn’t produced one solid piece of evidence for all its decades and decades of chasing lights in the sky. While the prophecies ceaselessly fulfill, while we pass our own point of no return, we think we still have the luxury of entertainingly scaring ourselves with the contemporary version of ghost stories, the new “demons” are now the imaginary “Greys”, “evil aliens”, etc.

But people like me, specifically me in fact, are a “problem” because I now waste little time confronting people with the truth as I know it, willing as I am though to be proven wrong. But no one, not even you my friend, has yet rebutted or addressed my concerns with opposing facts.  Please, cite the best evidence from the most credible “researchers’ you’ve listened to in those hundreds of hours of interviews, etc..

If you can do so I will gladly address them. If not, maybe you’ll see that I’m not the problem for trying to make you substantiate your claims, beliefs, etc. But I may be the one who points out the real “fire in the house” in the form of the epidemic of gullibility, non-critical thinking, illogic and denial of reality that is the product of this abysmal, fraudulent field of UFOlogy and the industry it’s spawned…at the expense of the true truth.

................................................................................................................................................................

I am not a researcher. I don’t have access to “scientifically verifiable” proof at a level that you would ever be satisfied with. I have a deep interest in this subject and have spent a few years listening to hundreds of hours of interviews from other researchers & experiencers, watched numerous documentaries, read many books, etc. which lead me to suspect that there are many other legitimate cases, including Greys. You have spent 30 years on this one case and so I’ll never be able to debate specific “verifiable” evidence with you since I am not directly involved with any case that I can point to particular evidence. That doesn’t make me “soft and lazy.” Again, that is just insulting and a harsh judgement.

I didn’t come to you to dispute your evidence or significance (so not sure why you keep trying to convince me of it), only to see if you had some evidence that all of the other cases were lies and hoaxes. I understand your point that you have not seen any sufficient evidence and so therefore: no (sufficient) evidence = not real. There is evidence, but not “scientifically verifiable” to you. As you put it, hypnosis to you is not a credible means of ascertaining truth claims and “Anecdotal evidence is…not the basis for any such claims to be accepted as factual” (which includes whistleblower testimony).  To me though it is a mistake to throw all this evidence out. Yes, it’s not ideal evidence, but I wouldn’t dismiss it altogether. I weigh it accordingly and compare it with what might corroborate this evidence.

Yes, I do take life seriously (but not too much), but I’d rather spend my time with those that are not condescending and don’t have an “I’m smart and every else is ignorant” attitude. My main point is that–your attitude does not help your cause–it actually makes it worse. You seem frustrated that others don’t accept the validity and significance of this case, but this is why!

Cheers,

Woman Has UFO Encounter From Her Home UFO Telepathically Says Don’t Go Outside You’ll Get Hurt

(Before It's News)

Is interesting that it took place around the same of the Rendlesham Forest events, here is another case said to have occurred also around the same time, but not reported until years later:

Location: Chicopee, Massachusetts
Date: December 30 1980

Time: 2330

The witness was sleeping in her room when she heard a sound like thunder. She looked out the window and saw an orange fireball gliding over the house. She went to the kitchen and told her sister to come to the window and watch what they thought was a meteor falling into the backyard. She pulled open the kitchen curtains and saw a black diamond-shaped craft with green lights on the points settle onto the back porch roof. The green lights were not bright and the diamond was only about 10 ft across and 8 ft high. A low hum was shaking the house and rattling the back window. The object sat on the roof for a few minutes and as she prepared to go outside she heard a voice in her head say, “Don’t go outside, you’ll get hurt”. Finally the object slid horizontally off the porch and hovered over the backyard. The green lights then went off and the black diamond appeared to be blacker than the sky. It took off seemingly flying fast and slow at the same time. She does not remember going to bed, but a few hours later she woke up tucked into bed, wearing slippers that she had not been wearing earlier and her hands crossed over her chest. (?)

Cash & Landrum Family Have UFO With Helicopter Encounter Both Families Suffer Severe Radiation Poisoning

(Before It's News)

The Cash-Landrum encounter with what??

For more high strange visit www.churchofmabusradio.com

Location: Near Huffman, Texas
Date: December 29 1980

Time: evening

Three occupants of a 1980 Olds Cutlass, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum and Vickie’s seven year old grandson, Colby, were on their way home through the southern tip of the east Texas piney woods when they noticed a large light above the trees some distance ahead. The light was briefly lost from view, but they saw it again when after rounding a curve they found themselves on a straight stretch of a two lane road on Highway FM 1485. This time it was approaching them, floating above the road at less than treetop height and belching flames from its bottom. Cash and the Landrums were only about 130 feet from the object. Escape was out of the question because the road was narrow and the shoulders soggy. If Betty Cash, who was driving, tried to turn around, she knew the car would get stuck. There was no other traffic on the desolate highway, so she stepped outside, as did the elder Landrum. But Colby’s frantic screams brought her back into the car.

The object, intensely bright and dull metallic silver in color, was shaped like a huge, upright diamond, with its top and bottom cut off so that they were flat rather than pointed. Small blue lights ringed the center, and periodically over the next five minutes flames shot out of the bottom, flaring outward to create a cone affect. All the while the witnesses felt their faces burning. The car was too hot to touch. At one point Vickie Landrum, leaning out the front window, steadied herself by putting her hands on the dashboard, only to find it molded to the shape of her fingers. A few minutes later, when Cash tried to get back into the car, the door handle burned her fingers. With a final blast of fire and heat, the UFO ascended slowly into the sky. But just as it was clearing the treetops, helicopters flew in from all directions. The helicopters and the UFO then were lost from view.

The three resumed their journey. Five minutes later they arrived at the intersection of FM 1485 and FM 2100 where they saw the UFO and the helicopters again. Cash counted 23 helicopters, all clearly visible because of the light from the diamond-shaped object was reflecting off them. Many of the aircraft were subsequently identified as large, double-rotor Boeing CH-47 Chinooks, used by the Army and Marines. The whole incident lasted a total of 20 minutes. Soon Betty Cash became extremely ill with large knots forming on her neck and scalp that soon became blisters. Her skin reddened and her eyes swelled. She vomited and experienced severe diarrhea. The Landrums suffered similar distress, but not quite as intense. In the morning Cash had lapse into near unconsciousness. She was eventually taken to the hospital in January 3 1981; she could not walk and had lost large patches of skin and clumps of hair. She was released after 12 days, but had to return to the hospital for another 15 days. A doctor who examined the patients reported strong evidence of damage as a result of ionizing radiation with the possibility of infrared or ultraviolet component as well. Betty Cash never fully recovered and suffered for years to come and in an ironic twist of fate she died on the anniversary of the bizarre encounter in December 29 1999, some say as a result of the initial encounter 19 years before.
