Animals Keep Being Spotted On Mars!

(Before It's News)

Many people interested in all things UFO/Alien have long suspected NASA to be keeping many secrets when it comes to extra-terrestrial life on the Moon and Mars. Many observers in the field believes that NASA has been doctoring photos of the surface of the Moon and Mars before releasing them to the public. Once in a while, relentless researchers who examine every single photos NASA releases with a fine comb will spot what looks like an intelligently designed structure and claim that NASA either missed it or intentionally left it there to get people talking.

Last year a bizarre photo taken by rover Curiosity emerged, no it was not a base, it was something looking like a rodent!

Rodent on Mars?

A little prior to that there was this odd little thing that kinda looked like an alien mouse coming out of a hole. Can you see what looks like two big ears, two black eyes and an elongated snout?

A Martian Mouse?

 In 2010, something that looked like a monkey showed up in a photo taken by the Mars Spirit Rover in the Gusev crater. This was a crater that is believed to have been once filled with water. This photo created quite a buzz amongst alien enthusiasts. It sorts of look like the body of a gorilla but with the head of a squirrel monkey.

Is that a gorilla-like creature?

Now below is a different photo from a slightly different angle.

CAPTAIN “K” OF MARS

(Before It's News)

In the 1960’s there was a plan devised by the U.S. Government to have in place a conspiracy of denial with regards to the possibility that a new space program would discover the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. This plan, provided by the Brookings Institute, was completed in December of 1960 and pointed out the very real fear of social disintegration if humanity discovered in its cosmic sojourn proof of extra-terrestrial life.

The Brookings report was very clear when it suggested that “Anthropological files contain many examples of societies sure of their place in the universe which have disintegrated when they had to associate with previously unfamiliar societies espousing different societies in different ways.”

Needless to say the guardians of intelligence suggested that if the U.S. space program found evidence of alien life or technology that it would be advisable to withhold that information. Nearly five decades later, much of what the Brookings Institute laid out for the space program still holds and science is still in the act of denial of any intelligent life in space.

Since the Curiosity Rover landed on the surface Mars , there have been a number of curious anomalies being sent back to earth that have created all sort of buzz on the Internet. Observers have seen nything from strange human looking statues on Mars, to strange lights beaming up from the surface and of course various Unidentified flying objects that come and go and are recorded.

NASA has done its best to explain that what is being seen is some sort of lens flare or pareidolia  much like was done at the time that curious mars watchers saw a face in the Cydonia region of Mars.

In an email published by The Virtually Strange Network, “Brookings Report Re-examined,” Keith Woodard writes that the Brookings Report “did raise the possibility of withholding information, but took no position on its advisability. ‘Questions one might wish to answer by such studies,’ intoned the report, ‘would include: how might such information, under what circumstances, be presented to or withheld from the public for what ends?

What might be the role of the discovering scientists and other decision makers regarding release of the fact of discovery?’ Those two sentences comprise the report’s entire commentary on the subject of covering up the truth.”

It was after the Hurricane Katrina Disaster that George W. Bush announced that United States was once again preparing to go to the moon and then explore Mars. It was a One hundred and four billion dollar plan to get men back on the Moon by 2015.

The next challenge would be Mars in 2015. In the meantime there were private companies asking people to take part in experiments to see if the average human could withstand and or participate in a Mars expedition.  There were even all sorts of polls taken where people would volunteer to go to mars and not return.

The Netherlands-based nonprofit Mars One, which aims to establish a Red Planet settlement beginning in 2025, announced that it had sliced its pool of potential colonists from 1,058 down to 705. The remaining astronaut candidates now advance to an interview round with Mars One’s selection committee.

With all of the anomalous coincidences there has always been the question in the back of a few people’s minds as to whether or not off planet settlements exist or if our Military have secretly established small bases or scout encampments on the Moon or even on Mars.

There have been plenty of weird statements by Astronauts and others about how the space program is neglecting its responsibility to Mars. Which once again is curious because the Mars Rover and the saucer experiments.

Apollo Astronaut Buzz Aldrin has mentioned many times about anomalous artifacts found on Phobos including a monolith structure, and how a settlement on mars should be led by the United States and that historians will record our success in leaving earth for mars sooner than later.

When Hacker Gary McKinnon breached security on a so called “secure” NASA computer network he happened to hack into a series of computers in the Pentagon, NASA, and other sensitive military locations. McKinnon claimed he was seeking information on UFOs and says he found files dealing with “non-terrestrial officers” and “fleet-to-fleet transfers” involving ships not on any U.S. Navy registry.

This story makes us wonder if we are being told everything about what is going on above us. The McKinnon story is just one of the many that provide circumstantial evidence which points to the possibility that there are secret weapons and stations above us in space and possible settlements or micro bases on either the moon or Mars.

NASA is a military installation claiming to be civilian. The billions of dollars going to “philanthropic space programs” are mostly funneling into the military industrial complex. Sure there are missions to send probes out in space. But the real reason for NASA is to research the idea of using space as the new battlefield. The dreams get the good press but the nightmares are performed in secret.

You may not believe in Aliens, but it is evident that space agencies around the world do and that the United States Military, NASA and other black ops organizations have sensitive information that they have kept from the American people regarding strange anomalous activities in space. It is getting to the point where NASA is no longer capable of keeping everything “top secret.” Some things cannot easily be explained by science.

NASA is finding it harder to hide the truth about an “alien” presence on earth and in the solar system. They are also finding it harder to hide the fact that perhaps they have kept under wraps secret space missions and off world battalions that may have secret bases either on the moon or even Mars.

Now I know at first that the idea of a secret space port or even a settlement on Mars or the moon sound outrageous, but just before Barack Obama cut funding for some of the more challenging space projects many astronauts and other were kind of hinting at the idea that NASA is not telling the truth about what is above us in space.

The most “earthlike” planet in terms of gravity and distance from the sun, Mars has long been considered the best bet for extraterrestrial life and the possibility of a settlement of humans living on the red planet.

I am sure many of us are familiar with William Cooper. He is the well known former U.S. Naval Intelligence officer that shot by police officers in 2001.  He is the author of the book Behold a pale Horse.

In  Bill Cooper’s 1989 lecture and affidavit, he states that the U.S had first landed on Mars on May 22, 1962 and that, by the time the U.S./NASA public space program landed on the moon in 1969, the U.S. already had a moon base there, since the mid-1950s..

“The first moon landing was May 22, 1962 … or excuses me that was the first landing on Mars. I’m sorry, May 22, 1962, was the winged probe that used a hydrozine propeller, flew around approximately three orbits and landed on May 22, 1962, was a joint United States/Russian endeavor. The first time that we landed on the moon was sometime during the … probably middle 50s, because at the time when President Kennedy stated that he wanted a man to set foot on the moon by the end of the decade we already had a base there.”—William Cooper 1989

Well, if you believe William Cooper, then perhaps it is not much of stretch to announce that a new whitsle blower has stepped forward and has made the claim that he served in a military capacity on Mars and that he has done so for 17 years.

An former active duty -marine using the Pseudonym “Captain Kaye” claims that he spent 17 years on Mars serving at a secret military base whose main mission was to protect five civilian space colonies Kaye claims that he served with  the Mars Defense Force and that they recruit personnel from different military services for off earth activity.

If true, his testimony would back up Gary McKinnon’s case, William Coopers claims and the vague Mars comments offered by the likes of Astronauts Gene Cernan and Buzz Aldrin.  Captain Kaye reports that he was recruited from a covert branch of the U.S. Marine Corps called “Special Section.”

Captain Kaye’s testimony reveals that the main human colony on Mars is called Aries Prime which is located inside a crater. Aries Prime serves as the headquarters for the Mars Colony Corporation. According to Captain Kaye, the air is breathable on the surface of Mars, and the temperature could be warm at times.

He claims that there are two indigenous species on Mars, both of which are highly intelligent. One of these was a Reptilian species that was very aggressive in defending its territory.

The other was an Insectoid species that was equally capable of protecting its territory. He said that indigenous Martians are not particularly interested in expanding their territory, only maintaining it.

Captain Kaye said that as long as the Mars Defense Force and Mars Colony Corporation did not encroach on the territory of the indigenous Martians, there would be stable relations.

Captain Kay first made his case and reported his experiences to Dr. Michael Salla of Exo-politics.

Kaye reported to Salla that after serving 17 years of a 20 year tour of duty, events changed dramatically when virtually all combat personnel from the Mars Defense force were asked to retrieve an extraterrestrial artifact from a cave sacred to the indigenous Reptilians. Captain Kaye described how over 1000 men and women were killed in a subsequent battle and only 28 of his colleagues, including himself, survived.

It is important to understand that there have been others who also have made claims of being used for experiments in a simulated Martian environment that has affected them psychologically.

There have been claims by Andrew D. Basagio and Arthur Neumann, that they were part of experiments that placed them on mars working with extraterrestrial beings.

Apart from the outrageous claims of these possible Martian astronauts are recent experiments that NASA has conducted for future visits to Mars.

NASA successfully launched and recovered a “flying saucer” into Earth’s atmosphere to test technology that could be used to aid astronauts working on the planet.  The experiment off the coast of the Hawaiian island of Kauai tested the disc-shaped vehicle and a giant parachute. The parachute did not fully deploy but NASA still deemed the mission a success. The ‘flying saucer’ splashed down in Pacific.

Dr. Tom Van Flandern has argued for many years that mankind and science should always keep an open mind when it comes to Mars. We see a lot of people who claim to be scientists or claim to be skeptics, and yet in the same breath become unscientific, rigid, and malicious.

They throw insults at people who have imaginations. They laugh at people who see faces in Martian soil, and artificial structures. They laugh at those who wonder about microbial life forms on the planet. They belittle those who speculate.

However, how are we supposed to react to those who claim to be part of secret space programs where we may already have bases planted in the regolith of the moon or the red soil of Mars?

In a free and open society where communication spreads as fast as one can hit enter on a keyboard mankind goes from rudimentary space explorers to fully fledged pioneers into the final frontier.

We have been warned that Mars is a hostile place and that we do not have a fighting chance at living there, but we are told that someday we may have to live there if earth becomes too hostile.

If we intend to live on Mars, and stay there permanently, we’ll be leaning hard on our technology to keep us alive.

However that may all change because there are always those who came before us that have said , we have been there , done that and now it is time to go back and show that living on Mars is not as bad as we have thought.

Perhaps we will have to change ourselves to adapt to what Mars has to offer.

In the 1960’s there was a plan devised by the U.S. Government to have in place a conspiracy of denial with regards to the possibility that a new space program would discover the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. Tonight on Ground Zero we talk to Captain “K,” a former Marine who claims he spent 17 years living on the Red Planet. It’s our conversation with ‘CAPTAIN “K” OF MARS‘!

Case Closed: MUFON Investigators close March 2014 cases – Part 2

(Before It's News)

West Virginians report ‘intelligent fireball’ UFO over small town

A West Virginia Dad in Sutton relates a UFO encounter his daughter and two friends had where a fireball-looking object appeared to move intelligently overhead, according to March 7, 2014, testimony in Case 54493 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The father tells the story from his daughter’s point of view about the event, which occurred about midnight on March 2, 2014. West Virginia MUFON Assistant State Director Dennis Henshaw is investigating.

The daughter and two friends were on their way to pick up a friend from work when a bright light was first noticed.

“Light was bright enough to see from other lights,” the witness stated. “Stopped to see what it was and thought it was a meteor. It came down towards a plane, commercial type, and thought it was going to hit it. Fireball stopped as if to let plane pass, and then continued.”

The witness described the object.

“It made a zigzag pass, glowed brighter, and then dimmer. Had tentacles (shafts of light come out from top and bottom), shoot from top and bottom. It dimmed to almost nothing. We thought it was gone and then it came back on and finally disappeared behind the mountain.”

West Virginia Assistant State Director Dennis Henshaw investigated for MUFON. He has closed the case as Insufficient Information as it is a second-hand report and he was unable to make contact with the reporting witness.

Photo: Did disc-shaped UFO emerge from Indiana lake?

An Indiana witness at Salem reported finding and photographing a “large circle” on a frozen lake that was still visible three days after it was created, according to March 7, 2014, testimony in Case 54500.

No further information was available today on exactly how the circle was created “overnight on March 4, 2014,” but the reporting witness did provide one photo of the anomaly. The report implies that a disc-shaped UFO may have come up out of the lake or gone into it.

The Salem, IN, witness was wondering what created a disc-shaped opening in a local lake that occurred overnight on March 4, 2014. Indiana MUFON resolved the case as an Identified Object, Other. (Credit: MUFON)

The witness photo is available on this page – or the original can be downloaded here.

“It was still visible on March 7, 2014,” the witness stated.

Indiana Field Investigator Patrick O’Brien closed the case as an IFO – Identified, Other.

“Water piped into the house via hose into pump, water cold from pond, back flow after each pump period flow back, water warmed to a degree to cause clash of warm/cold water forming the circle,” O’Brien stated in his report. “Consider the circle to be an IFO/Identified, Other.”

UFO drops quickly toward ground level over Wyoming interstate

Two Wyoming witnesses driving northbound along I-25 about 5 to 10 miles south of Cheyenne about 9:40 p.m. on March 6, 2014, reported watching three lights originally thought to be an airplane that quickly dropped and moved alarmingly close to their vehicle, according to testimony from Case 54501.

The two were returning from a trip to Fort Collins, CO, and were approaching Cheyenne when three lights in the sky were first thought to be a C130.

“It was coming south and started to bank towards the east,” the reporting witness stated. “I saw it rotate approximately 90-degrees such that a plane (let alone a large one) could not sustain lift. I immediately thought, whatever it was, it was going to crash. At that point the lights were straight vertical, with three lights up and down.”

As the object moved closer, they could see that it was not a plane.

“It started coming towards as we drove on the interstate northbound. I started to notice, as it got closer, that it was not a plane. I could not really see any structure. This may have been because the lights were bright, because I was driving, or because it did not have any.”

Then they noticed that the object was getting even closer.

“As it got closer to us it turned more horizontally (lights maybe 45-degrees or more) and started coming towards my truck that was travelling approximately 75 mph. My buddy started yelling at me to hit the gas pedal because we thought it was coming at us and would crash into the interstate.”

The object then appeared to be directly over their vehicle’s rooftop.

“Eventually the lights slowed down and whatever it was, was directly above my truck roof (which is opaque, no sunroof or anything). I rolled down my window and stuck my head out to see if I could see it in the rear, but my view was obstructed and I do not think anything was visible.”

Wyoming State Director Richard Beckwith investigated and closed this case as an Unknown.

“Due to the close proximity of the witnesses to the object, the description of the object itself, and the genuinely novel manner in which the object maneuvered, it would appear that an astronomical explanation for this event can be immediately ruled out,” Beckwith stated in his report.

“Likewise, explanations involving birds, insects, plasma or ‘earth’ lights from tectonic activity, etc., can all be ruled out on this basis. Likewise, because of the object’s description, its movement, and its unnervingly close proximity to the witnesses, satellites and rockets can be ruled out. The only thing that remains is some kind of aircraft, either an airplane or a helicopter.

“Whether it is an airplane or a helicopter, FAA regulations still require all aircraft to be equipped with certain colors of lights: red, green and white. This object had yellow lights flashing to yellow, and no red or white lights. Moreover, the object made no sound. Ne’er a sound could be heard, not even when the object was directly overhead. Absence of a regulated light configuration, silent operation and novelistic motion do not support a man-made explanation for the object.”

Former Navy serviceman reports UFO monitoring ship

A former Navy serviceman reported an encounter with a ball of light mirroring his ship’s course and speed during a multi-national naval exercise near the Hawaiian Islands, according to March 10, 2014, testimony in Case 54547.

The witness was in transit back to a San Diego home port from the RIMPAC multi-national naval exercises about 10:15 p.m. on August 4, 2010, when the events occurred.

“Course and speed was roughly 010 true @15 kits,” the witness stated. “I had just finished my watch in sonar control and went to the smoke deck on our starboard quarter (aka starboard break). I was not alone, however, I do not remember how many people or who was there that also witnessed the event.”

The witness described what he saw that night.

“I saw a medium-sized ball of light about 10 or 20 feet above water approximately 3 kyds away almost as soon as I got there. Initially I thought it was another ship that was also in transit and continued to observe it because, to my knowledge, we were alone in transit on our Pim. (Strike group commander set course and speed). It was mirroring our course and speed almost exactly with no discernible difference to our own for a period of about 15 minutes.”

The witness watched the light move.

“The ball then traveled very rapidly from a forward position relative to my ship to aft and then changed elevation and rose vertically nearly instantly to an elevation of about 200 feet or so from my perspective. It then appeared to mirror our course and speed from that elevation and follow us.”

The witness decided to report the event immediately.

“Startled and perplexed I put out my cigarette and went directly to the CIC (Combat Information Center) to report what I had seen to the CIC watch officer and radar operators. I told the CICWO my findings and was brushed off.”

But the conversation was overheard.

“I then went to the SPS-49 7 radar operator and he had apparently overheard my story. The petty officer on watch proceeded to show me that he had contact on the surface and air search radar that corresponded to what I had witnessed. He also told me that the same chain of events has been reported three other times by other individuals and had been occurring since our transit had begun two days prior.”

The witness is not sure if the events were officially logged.

“I do not recall if the incidents had been logged or not in the CIC watch contact log. I seem to recall being told by this petty officer that they were instructed to maintain contact and observe its movements, but don’t bother logging it as it didn’t appear hostile or of any interest. I was also told by him that the past two nights they had lost contact due to extreme elevation at about the same time each night – a few hours before dawn.”

The witness states that there were other reports of communications failure.

“Oddly enough during the actual RIMPAC (Rim of the Pacific Exercise) exercises, my ship, as well as every other ship in our strike group, experienced strange connectivity and communication issues. An investigation was launched by the strike group commander under the premise that there was a suspected probe initiated by the Chinese on our entire strike group. I later discovered that the communications and systems phenomenon the ships experienced had no explainable origin and no evidence of an attack from a foreign nation was detected.”

Hawaii State Director David McManus investigated and closed this case as an Unknown.

I might be tempted to believe this was some type of surveillance equipment (as the RIMPAC exercise is heavily monitored by China),” McManus stated in his report. “The witness states that this possibility was investigated and rejected. If this were a device under the control of a foreign power, the ship’s personnel (and especially a radar technician like the witness) would have been told about it.”

McManus said he interviewed the witness and believes he “appears to be highly credible.”

South Dakota witnesses say landed UFO killed dog

Witnesses in Watertown, SD, reported watching a Saturn-shaped light descend from the sky that landed, “engulfed” and eventually killed a dog before moving away, according to March 11, 2014, testimony in Case 54585.

The reporting witness and two friends first saw lights in the sky about midnight on February 28, 2014. Then the object moved to ground level.

“We saw this strange ghost-like thing engulf one of my friend’s dogs because it ran up barking at it.”

The witness said that after the light surrounded the dog – the dog collapsed.

“The thing hovered onto this planet-looking thing and took off.”

South Dakota Field Investigators Jim Klancnik and John Michael Kain followed up with a witness interview. The witness admitted the story was a hoax and apologized for filing the report.

Washington witness reports ‘huge ball of light’ hovering near I-5

A Washington witness at Burlington driving northbound along I-5 near the Cook Road exit reported a “huge ball of light” hovering over a nearby quarry about 6:35 a.m. on March 12 2014, according to testimony in Case 54614.

“I observed a huge light hovering above a rock quarry off Kelleher Road,” the witness stated. “It was a very bright white light like an LED- huge, big as a full moon appears when it’s full at like 10-15 degrees above horizon. Biggest and brightest thing I’ve ever seen in sky.”

The witness attempted to match what was being seen with a known object.

“As I looked at it I tried to rationalize what I was seeing, Maybe a helicopter with a new super bright searchlight of some kind? But no movement or flashing lights. Only saw it for about 30-45 seconds.”

The witness attempted to find the object again when he passed out of sight due to the roadway.

“I was going up Bowhill and the object was out of sight. I turned off at the next exit (Bow Hill) and drove south down Highway 99 until I got back to the flats so I could get another look at it.”

The witness also noticed police officers in the immediately area where the object was seen.

Washington Field Investigator Maurene Morgan closed this case as Insufficient Data.

“The witness describes the object as hovering, very bright, and as big as a full moon,” Morgan stated in her report. “This suggests that it was not natural. However, the presence of the two parked and unoccupied police cars suggests that the witness may have seen a helicopter with a search light obscuring its running lights hovering over the quarry in search of something.  Thus, it may be a manmade phenomenon.

“While no other witnesses reported this sighting, there was another sighting reported to the National UFO Reporting Center on April 14, 2014, of three metallic ovals in triangle formation moving at a rapid pace over Burlington.

“I’m concluding the case as insufficient information on the basis that the information is contradictory and lacking.”

Indianapolis crowd forms to watch hovering UFO

An Indiana parent and daughter driving northeast along Mann Road in Indianapolis reported joining nearly two dozen vehicles who pulled over to watch a huge, shiny disc-shaped UFO hovering nearby under 500 feet in the air, according to March 12, 2014, testimony in Case 54619.

The witness thought people were pulling over to watch the sunset, but then noticed people pointing into the sky and taking photos during the event, about 6:30 p.m. on November 11, 2013.

“I immediately pulled the car in the only space left in a driveway and immediately me and my daughter got out and we watched this beautiful gleaming spaceship just up in the sky,” the witness stated.

The witness could not take his eyes off of the object.

“I immediately felt a vibration start in the top of my torso and I felt a shiver work its way down all the way to my feet. My daughter watched it. I told her to get her iPad out and record. She did and it should be on this thing. My daughter got scared and wanted to go where the other people were, but I said I didn’t want to take my eye off it. Right then I turned toward my car door, looked back, and it was gone.”

The witness said jets moved into the area after the object left.

Indiana State Section Director David Henninger closed this case as Insufficient Information.

“Precise identification of the described object is unknown,” Henninger reported. “The object that Witness A reported seeing was corroborated by his daughter. The only description available was a shiny disc-shaped object in the sky. Precisely what the subject was is undetermined. Its shape and movements seem to indicate that it could not have been an airplane but it cannot be completely ruled out that it was not an airship or balloon.”

‘Glowing vertical cylinder’ reported over Arizona

An Arizona witness at Sahuarita reported a “glowing vertical cylinder” UFO with “rays of light poking out of it” that moved slowly overhead about 6:05 a.m. on March 12, 2014, according to testimony in Case 54651.

The witness was outside in the backyard “anticipating this object to return” after having seen it twice in 2012 and also on March 10, 2014, as reported in Case 54564. The witness details the current sighting from March 12.

“The object came from the west, no evidence of an engine, wings, nose, tail or rotors,” the witness stated. “It’s a vertical cylinder shape with what I can only describe as rays of light poking out of it. It moved silently and smoothly at approximately 15 mph.”

Attempts by the witness to photograph or videotape the object did not come out well.

A ‘glowing vertical cylinder’ was reported at Sahuarita, AZ, on March 12, 2014. Credit: Google.

“It also changed direction from heading east to northeast. I was able to finally take a picture but the camera was reading the background as black and the object turned out small. I am unable to transmit the picture since I am using an iPad, but could email it to someone through my husband’s computer if there’s any interest.”

The witness is hoping the object returns again.

“As the object moved further away to the northeast it got smaller due to the distance and then it just disappeared. I am hoping that it will come back maybe one more time but since its behavior is exactly like my sightings two years ago, I doubt that will happen, but I will be ready with the camera!”

Arizona Field Investigator Russell Azbill closed this case as an IFO – Identified Flying Object.

“Information obtained from spaceweather.com/flybys revealed that the witness’ sighting corresponded to the appearance of the International Space Station over her location,” Azbill stated in his report. “The flight path of the ISS corresponded to her report. After reviewing the case, I reached a disposition for this case as an IFO (International Space Station).”

Indian politician ridiculed for World UFO Day Facebook post

(Before It's News)

Arun Jaitley, India’s finance minister, met with criticism on Wednesday, July 2 immediately after posting a message to his Facebook page in support of World UFO Day.

Arun Jaitley (Credit: Kkm010/Wikimedia Commons)

Jaitley, a key member of Indian prime minister Narendra Modi’s staff, posted, “This day is celebrated to raise awareness about the existence of UFO’s and with that intelligent beings from outer space.” According to Reuters, this post was deleted half an hour after Reuters contacted Jaitley’s staff for a statement. This Facebook account is reportedly “one of the main forums in which he publishes official information.” So when followers of the account saw a post about World UFO Day, Jaitley was immediately ridiculed.

Some Facebook users voiced their disapproval and frustration by leaving comments on the post. One user wrote, “Sir instead of talking on outer space, please confine your discussion on the hardship faced by common men . . . People are confused and scared about the undefined miseries which are going to be heaped upon them in the names of restoring fiscal health of the country.” Another user commented, “Sir FM, today we the people of India are celebrating the price hike day instead of UFO day.”

It appears that people are, understandably, more concerned with the earthly issues that are currently affecting their lives. Still, it is unfortunate that a politician who supports raising awareness about UFOs is attacked for voicing such support. This goes to show that, although things have slightly improved in recent years, there is still a tremendous stigma attached to UFOs that hinders the progress of serious study into these unidentified objects seen all over the world on a regular basis.

World UFO Day originated in 2001, and its recognition has grown every year since its inception.

Cyborg Era has begun: Engineers develop 3D Printed Bio-Bot

(Before It's News)

Osnet Daily

Engineers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed tiny biological machines capable of walking by using twitching muscle cells. Remarkably, these self-propelled “bio-bots” can be controlled externally using electrical pulses. Oh, and they’re 3D printed.

We typically imagine robots as being comprised of metal gears and electronic parts. But by combining biological components, such as cells and tissues, with soft robotics, researchers are creating biological machines capable of sensing, processing, and producing force.

“We’re trying to integrate these principles of engineering with biology in a way that can be used to design and develop biological machines and systems for environmental and medical applications,” noted UoI professor Abel Bliss in a statement. “Biology is tremendously powerful, and if we can somehow learn to harness its advantages for useful applications, it could bring about a lot of great things.”

And by great things Bliss imagines fleets of tiny biological machines entering into the human body to neutralize toxins, assist in drug delivery, perform internal surgery, or to serve as ‘smart implants.’ They could also work as mobile analyzers that monitor the environment and perform clean-up duties.

Inspired by Nature

A few years ago, Bliss’s team successfully demonstrated walking bio-bots that could move by using beating heart cells taken from rats. But the heart cells were constantly contracting, making it impossible to control the bots’ motion.

But the new design is more intuitive — one that’s inspired by the muscle-tendon-bone complex found in biological organisms. A bio-bot’s structural backbone is provided by a 3D printed hydrogel. It’s strong but flexible, so it can bend like a joint. And like tendons that attach muscle to bone, two posts anchor a tiny strip of muscle to the structure. The posts also act as feet for the bio-bot.

Speed is controlled by adjusting the frequency of the electric pulses. Higher frequencies cause the muscle to contract faster, thus speeding up the bio-bot’s locomotion.

“It’s only natural that we would start from a bio-mimetic design principle, such as the native organization of the musculoskeletal system, as a jumping-off point,” noted co-author Caroline Cvetkovic. “This work represents an important first step in the development and control of biological machines that can be stimulated, trained, or programmed to do work.”

The researchers have some wild plans for the future — like adding neurons so that the bio-bots can be steered in different directions with light or chemicals.

Critical thinking analogy of the imaginary and intellectual mind.

(Before It's News)

Critical thinking analogy of the imaginary and intellectual mind.

Imagination is the paramount mental thinking ability that humans have engendered. Above all, this power separates us from what we call the lower life forms. This most powerful force in creation, God himself must have first imagined before creating; Imagination the creator of life and the seen Universe from the realm of Nothing. But duality tells us that there is a down side to this amazing Universal power.

The imagination was first developed, in humans, by the cave men that were attempting to understand nature and all things he encountered. Imagination is the first place we learned to look for answers to puzzling questions as we do today. We create great works of art and technology, we astound with imaginative stories, myths and superstitions.  Man has become accustom to inventing imaginary understanding or theory and accepting it as reality or fact.  Imagination has been the primary default mind of man from the very beginning. Therefor our imaginary minds are extremely well developed.

Our mind of intellect is relatively new to man. With our intellect we build from imagination great cities and have flown to the moon. But few people are comfortable in their intellectual mind. Many children struggle in school but when it is recess or playtime they are totally happy. Adults do not enjoy talking about science, religion or government but anything that will turn off the intellect and turn on the imagination is eagerly sought after. Trillions of dollars are spent on entertainment, sports, sex, drugs and alcohol. We simply do not find joy in having our intellect stimulated or being forced to think. Most people do not view intellectual thinking as fun or enjoyable, aside from a few that watch Jeopardy.

Children first learn to realize with their imaginations and after their immature child fantasies are dashed, they are not taught how to develop their intellectual minds, they are taught to accept adult fantasy as a new reality to replace their child fantasies. Are childhood fantasies simply a training ground to prepare the immature mind for adult imaginary fantasy reality? Children are forced into a learning environment with no help in developing or understanding their intellectual mind. They are forced into school that exerts a “sink or swim” hostel environment that many children are traumatized by. Memory is the key to genius success but there is no help or training to develop this mental capability either.

The modern age is beginning to produce a ‘factual reality’ that is conflicting with the ancient cave man superstitions of ‘imaginary reality.’ The mind of man has not learned fully how to fully develop his logical intellectual mind and views logic as imaginary and imagination as reality; the realities reversing causing great frustration and confusion. The intellectual thinker has been persecuted for thousands of years but is slowly emerging from the rubble of imagination. The great search for Truth is still a mystery for mankind.

The two minds conflict, ergo mankind is in conflict with himself and each other. This is a war of imagination and belief not of men. Men of primary imaginary mind do not know how to deal with their new mind of intellect and view it as an enemy and can feel the conflict within…it is because intellect exposes imagination for what it truly is…imaginary. Imaginary man has not yet learned how to control his imaginary mind with the mind of intellect and he views any attempt to “help” him as a direct attack on him (or a God) personally; this also imaginary but feels very real.

The imaginary mind will not accept the input of the intellectual mind and in fact protects against it. The intellectual mind gladly draws from imagination; imaginary thinking is paramount to advancements of any kind. Imagination first rejects the thinking of the rational mind in defense of itself. Imagination wants to be free and not constrained. Unless a person is aware that this is happening and that it is a “choice” to use the mind of intellect WITH imagination, this confusion will never end. The intellect must invoke imagination…not the other way around. If not…imagination will run away with you.

People cannot discern reality from fiction today as arguments and hate disseminate to racism and violence, simply over what we think and believe is real and reality. People spout opinion and thinking these are simply imaginary based that is rarely, if ever, based on facts. Often people accept the imaginary views of others and profess them as if they are fact. Ancient beliefs existing for thousands of years, this, the imaginary process that society is living in today. Handed down imagination is not working well for society and has not for thousands of years.

We have seen many examples of forced ignorance in history the most notable the persecution of scientists and the burning of scientific books. For years the Bible was not to be produced or given to the common people, the knowledge held as sacred and not for normal man. In America it was against the law to teach a black man to read.  Medicine and law are written in an uncommon language to safe guard knowledge from the people. Even God attempted to stop man from knowing the good of knowledge and wisdom but his divine plan was spoiled by a serpent and the intervention of Eve, this event deemed evil by believers when man gained knowledge.

Things may be changing?

The day of the primary imaginary mind appears to be waning. The failsafe guardian and protector of the power of imagination: the mind of intellect is beginning to show itself. Not realizing this has produced a war of the minds within man that has spilled over onto mankind and into social reality.  We are slowly discovering The COMPLETE MIND OF MAN is both the imaginary and intellectual mind in synchronicity, not at war with each other as is so prevalent today.

Imagination wrongly believes that the intellectual mind is the enemy; when IN FACT the intellectual mind cannot function without a healthy happy mind of imagination. These two minds combine to be the Universal mind of creation: this making the complete mind of man. True happiness and peace comes from a balanced mind.

This confusion of the minds has/is creating great division and war between men. Ancient religion and theocratic government, long in power, do not want to let go of the status quo of imaginary belief. The new mind of science and logical thinking is perceived as an enemy. Why is the question?

It appears that if a person is in a primary mind of imagination, that it creates conflict with the intellectual mind. Where if intellectual mind is primary it enjoys and utilizes the imaginary mind, seeking its assists in discovery, research, innovation and creation. Imagination has no appreciation of intellect. Intellect is a danger to imagination. It seeks to tear down what imagination builds. This is not true. Intellect seeks to clarify and use the ideas and innovations of imagination.

It would seem logical that truth and fact would be of the greatest interest and importance. But protecting ancient superstitions and imaginary fantasy reality continues unabated, creating wars between the realist and the aggressive delusionist. This imaginary evolution has taken us all the way to the brink of worldwide insanity and the near destruction of mankind with war. Insanity of all people is a symptom of the virus disease of imaginary beliefs. Imagination will continue to destroy intellect as long as this symptom is not understood to bring imagination under control.

The great question is: How do we learn to realize and accept each other no matter what mind we use for primary thinking? This question MUST be answered of man is to progress intellectually and achieve our true technological potential. The evolution of imagination to intellectual mind has been a very long destructive road for all of mankind. This IS NOT A  WAR that one mind must win. It is a condition that must be realized first and then the learning process will take place gradually over time. This problem did not happen overnight and it will not be solved overnight. We begin with realizing the true nature of the problem first.

The true mind of intellect does not seek for violence or war or conflict. It seeks discovery, new technology and learning, attempting to replace ignorance with truth. But the imaginary mind has used intellect for war and “for other purposes.” Power structures have used and abused the creations of intellect to promote war and ignorance. True intellect seeks for peace not war.

The ancient religious minds of imagination believe this new intellectual mind to be a threat to the very existence of moral and righteous man. They view men of intellect and science as immoral and evil; A plague on the earth that should be scrubbed away and eradicated. Knowledge and science was/is burned and murdered to protect the imaginary beliefs. Is this not simple to see? How can it continue in a supposed modern age?

Tools of the rational mind to control and “rein in” the imagination to prevent it from “running off with you” are: skepticism, discernment, perception, observation, probability, improbability, plausibility, cynicism, rationality, doubt, uncertainty, distrust, disbelief and doubt. It is essential for the intellectual mind to apply these mental exercises before taking the next step of accepting or believing anything presented or imagined to be true or real. The primary imaginary mind will forgo these steps and go directly to belief; this, the greatest danger of a primary imaginary mind because it has no balance of thought and reason. Primary imaginary thinking is the immature cave man mind or that of a child. But this has and is the primary mind of most people today, the immature mind of imagination that has not evolved the intellectual mind. This is a choice. Intellect does not develop on its own. It is a willful act to seek knowledge, wisdom, Truth and Reality.

There are two kinds of belief; rational and irrational. A rational belief is one that has been rigorously subjected to the tools of discernment and has proven itself as true. The irrational needs no proof and may be held as true; with no actual proof or with proof to the contrary; this, the epitome of irrational belief: A belief that stubbornly stands in the face of facts to the contrary but still held as true.

Irrational belief often times leads to delusional belief. A person may believe that they are empowered by their belief.  Delusional imaginary belief can produce many problematic mental states such as: paranoia, schizophrenia, obsession, fixation, fanaticism, radicalism, extremism, irrationality, supremacy, hate, jealousy, anger, frustration, confusion; this creating mental, physical and emotional pain which may lead to eventual insanity; this leaving the rational non-believer stupefied by the insanity of imaginary belief wars.

Social conflicts arise when an irrational belief confronts a rational thinking non-believer. The delusional believer, in a paranoid state, envisions that they are entitled to ridicule, belittle and berate the non-believer. They believe themselves to be superior to anyone not of their belief and that belief must be protected at all cost. Criminal belief delusion manifests as physical aggression, murder and genocidal war.

This is an amazing enigma of humanity today. An incredible example of ancient belief’s running into conflict with the “radical new concept” of intellectual validation that demands proof of a belief to be accepted as true and real. This produces huge frustration and anger in a fantasy believer that has no proof or validation existing of his imaginary belief. This believer may even realize that no proof exists but if the delusion is deep he will still profess it. It begs the question that if; a belief be so powerful; why would it be afraid of a rational evaluation; an extremely perplexing situation. This taking us to the delusion of “willful ignorance”: a mental state where the belief is more important than reality or Truth to the believer:  This being a mental state that the rational mind of intellect finds intolerable.  The believer exchanges Truth and Reality for the belief.

Religion replaces Truth with God; believing that God is Truth. An imaginary entity belief is Truth? The powers of creation and life that IS Truth is an imaginary deity? This hides Truth from yourself, this the greatest of all self-delusions.  You will never know Truth…only an imaginary God. How sad is that?

For those few of us who have developed both minds of primary intellect and secondary imagination we owe a great debt of thanks to those that sacrificed their lives to overcome the proliferation perpetuation of ignorance.

I think we all owe the greatest of all thanks to Eve for sacrificing herself and Adam to the punishment of God for her precious gift of knowledge given to mankind. It is sad that she did not also gather from the tree of eternal life for us.

Work in progress…for us all.

Mind Control: DARPA achieves Breakthrough in Brain Hacking

(Before It's News)

Osnet Daily

Scientists funded by the Defense Department have just announced a breakthrough that could allow researchers to create in 220 days an extremely detailed picture of the brain that previously would have taken 80 years of scans to complete

The military has been looking to build better brain hacks for decades with results that ranged form the frightening to the comical. This latest development could revolutionize the study of the brain but also the national security applications of neuroscience.

Scientists at Stanford University who developed the new way to see the brain in greater detail, outlined in the journal Nature Protocols, said that it could mark a new era of rapid brain imaging, allowing researchers to see in much greater detail not only how parts of the brain interact on a cellular level but also to better understand those interactions across the entire brain.

“I absolutely believe this is going to transform the way that we study the brain and how we perform neuroscience research,” said Justin Sanchez, program manager for the Neuro Function, Activity, Structure, and Technology, or Neuro-FAST, program at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, which funded the research. “What we’re saying here today is that we can develop new technology that changes how we observe and interact with the circuits of the brain.”

The most common research methods for exploring the brain today involve the sensing of brains’ electrical activity, a technique called EEG, or observing of hemoglobin flow under functional magnetic resonance, called fMRI. Rather than simply listen to the brain’s thought spasms of electro-magnetic activity, the Stanford researchers’ technique instead uses light to reveal causal relationships in the circuits themselves. “It’s all about optical interfaces for the brain, optical techniques to image the brain, optical techniques to record activity from the brain and optical techniques to record neurons and their firing effects form other neurons,” said Sanchez.

This technique is related to the emerging subfield of optogenetics, and while it is considered the cutting edge of neuroscience research, it’s not new. But the technique pioneered by the Stanford researchers allows for three-dimensional visualization that is both granular and wide enough to encompass the entire brain. Said Sanchez, “Traditionally, with the optogenetic technique, you really don’t have the structure to go along with the activation. That’s why the Neuro-FAST program is so exciting.”

Sanchez and DARPA officials were adamant (exceedingly so) that the intent of the Neuro-FAST program is to advance brain science broadly. Officials were reluctant to discuss any other specific applications for that research. But that doesn’t mean those applications don’t exist, or that the military isn’t interested in them.

The Checkered History of Military Brain Tampering

For a quick and historic tour of the Defense Department’s interest in brain hacking, start with this 1973 report, written for DARPA, detailing Soviet research into psychokinesis, the manipulation of matter through thought, and other aspects of “paranormal phenomena.” This report became part of the bases for the book and film The Men Who Stare At Goats, the later of which saw the character of George Clooney, as an army trained “psychic weapon,” successfully killing one of the unlucky hoofed animals entirely through the force of focused will.

Then move on to this 1988 National Academy Press report on issues, theories and techniques for “Enhancing Human Performance,” which eagerly anticipates  future super soldier motor skills and concentration states acquired through applied brain science. From there, continue to this 2009 report outlining Opportunities in Neuroscience for Future Army Applications.

Over the years, the military’s research into brain science has produced some bizarre results, such as the DARPA “roborat” a rat that had electrodes implanted into its motor cortex allowing researchers to manipulate direction and movement.

There have also been some big hits.

Researchers at Sandia National Laboratory showed in 2012 that the human brain’s electrical activity could predict how well an individual was going to perform on a test. According to The Futurist magazine:

The researchers asked 23 people to attempt to memorize a list of words while undergoing brain scanning. The average subject recalled 45% of the words on the list. The EEG data correctly predicted which five of the 23 subjects would beat the competition, remembering 72% of the words on average.If you had someone learning new material and you were recording the EEG, you might be able to tell them, ‘You’re going to forget this, you should study this again,’ or tell them, ‘OK, you got it and go on to the next thing,’” chief researcher Laura Matzen said in a statement.

A previous program actually did yield some remarkable insight into the potential for better soldier performance through focused brain states. Amy Kraus, a former DARPA program manager, on Monday told a group at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, the work that she presided over succeeded in finding the secret mental secret that preceded good marksmanship. “It turns out the expert marksman has a brain state,” she said, “a state that they enter before they take the perfect shot. Can I teach a novice to create this brain state? The answer was yes.”

She said that by recognizing that state, researchers were able to improve the ability of regular people to improve their marksmanship by 100 percent. “These are recordable, measurable, algortyhmical,” Kraus said.

But according to Sanchez, improved performance through changes in brain state is still not something we truly understand.

“The neuroprocesses associated with those advanced functions – we don’t know what they are yet. We don’t know how all of those advanced circuits can produce those brain functions. That’s why we’re at the more basic level.”

The ability to see the cellular interconnections that actually contribute to mental activity is far more important to an actual understanding of mental states – super and otherwise – than is the ability to measure the electromagnetic rumblings associated with those states. Similarly, a bit of know-how about animal husbandry will tell you something about why a horse is fast or slow but not nearly as much as will genetics.

One of the most significant near-term applications of military-funded neuroscience is not the potential to create super soldiers but rather an understanding the effects of combat and training on service men and women. “As we’re doing more to and with war fighters, how much of a burden can we place on them? How much risk can we expect them to take over a lifetime? How much medication? How many devices? How much change in their behavior, through direct manipulation of their brains?” said Jonathan D. Moreno, University of Pennsylvania professor and author of the book Mind Wars, at the Potomac Institute. “These are people who sign up to defend us. They sign up to take risks. Nonetheless, in the 21^st century, we will have to slice that finer than we have in the past because we are asking them to do more for us.”

Mothman, UFOs, MIB & John Keel

(Before It's News)

Mysterious Universe

For those who, like me, find the most captivating and intriguing era of Ufology to have been that of the 1950s to the 1960s, there’s good news. In fact, very good news. Some time ago, Andy Colvin (the author of The Mothman’s Photographer series of books, as well as The Mothman Shrieks and The Mothman Speaks) established New Saucerian Books. It’s a company dedicated to bringing old – and sometimes hard to find – books to a new audience.

And, right now, there is a significant number of new releases from NSB that will appeal to devotees of all things Fortean, ufological and cryptozoological. Where shall I start? Well, how about with the Men in Black? The very first book on this particularly weird and menacing topic was Gray Barker’s They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers(first published in 1956).

Depending on the edition and condition, the book exchanges for prices that are not always cheap. Fortunately, Andy has made this atmospheric title available at a far more reasonable price (which you can find right here). It’s a book that tells the curious story of how the MIB plagued the life of a 1950s-era UFO researcher named  Albert Bender. And, talking of Bender, Andy has also just republished Bender’s very own (and very controversial) book: Flying Saucers and the Three Men, originally released in 1962.

Both the Barker and the Bender books come with their original covers and are very nicely packaged.

Moving on, let’s now focus on the work of Fortean legend, John Keel. Now available from NSB is Keel’s Strange Mutants of the 21st Century, about which Andy says: “Strange Mutants of the Twenty-First Century contains Keel’s very first ruminations on Mothman, as well as a variety of strange reports on black ‘demon’ dogs, phantom cats, Bigfoot and other North American giants, flying humanoids, flying saucers, flying snakes, and even stranger mutants that Keel believed reside with us on Earth. This book was originally printed in very small quantities over 30 years ago, and became extremely rare and expensive. Finally, it has been available to the general public.”

One of the strangest sagas that Keel found himself embroiled in was that of the enigmatically weird Indrid Cold. It’s a saga told in Woody Derenberger’s book, Visitors From Lanulos.

Andy, who has put out a new edition of this 1971 book, notes that Derenberger “…claimed to have had a series of strange adventures beginning on November 2nd, 1966. While driving home from Parkersburg, West Virginia to his suburban home in Mineral Wells, he suddenly found the highway blocked by a large gray object. Someone emerged from the object and walked to the passenger side window of his car. The man introduced himself as ‘a searcher,’ and offered words of comfort to Derenberger.”

After noting that he would come again, the “spaceman,” who called himself “Indrid Cold,” stepped back into the object and it rose out of sight. Woody Derenberger went home and told his story to his wife. He then called the police and the press. Soon after, other witnesses came forward to say that they, too, had seen Cold talking to Derenberger by the side of the road. (In time, several locals would have their own encounters with Cold.)

Two days later while driving in his car, Derenberger began to receive telepathic communications from Cold, who described himself as from the “galaxy of Ganymede.” Cold also supplied some information about his life, including the observation that people on his planet (Lanulos) lived to be 125 to 175 of our Earth years.

Over the next weeks, other stories would accumulate that substantiated other parts of Derenberger’s story, including independent UFO sightings on November 4th. An initial investigation concluded that Derenberger was not a fraud or hoaxer, and was mentally and psychologically sound.

Throughout this period, Derenberger’s direct contacts with Indrid Cold continued. He learned much about Cold’s people and their desire for friendly contact. In 1967, Cold took Derenberger for a ride in his spaceship. Strangely, they visited the oilfields of Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as Cold’s lush, jungle planet, which was populated by beautiful humanoids wearing no clothes.

Derenberger told his story frequently over the next few years, and his story was given extended treatment by Fortean researcher John A. Keel.

Controversial? Of course! But, highly readable, too. And here’s where you can purchase the new edition.

Still on the subject of John Keel, Andy has done us all a great service by also recently republishing Keel’s Strange Creatures From Time And Space and Our Haunted Planet. I have to say, however, that my firm favorite of all the NSB releases is Searching for the String. It’s an excellent collection of selected writings from Keel. Essentially, they are articles penned by Keel (for the likes of Saga Magazine, Flying Saucer Review, Fate, Argosy, and various other magazines and journals), and which span the mid-1960s to the late-1970s.

If Ufology of a time long gone fascinates you, if the beast known as Mothman intrigues you, and if tales of black-garbed characters silencing UFO witnesses catch your attention, check out New Saucerian Books. You won’t be disappointed.

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.
